Year 7443, Month 12, Day 1

After paying the wages for the five others that aren't slaves we were about to head the dungeon the same as usual. Along the way, I started talking about things from here on out.

"Since it's about come to the point where we can clear through the 5th floor, from here on..I guess so, in another two months or so I don't think we'll be able to continue with only staying one night in the dungeon like right now but what should we do?"

I start talking to Zenom about that and,

"That's certainly true..It takes from morning to evening to get to the end of the 3rd floor after all..Things get pretty harsh if we don't take a nights rest there. And no matter how much we used to them it seems like getting through the 4th and 5th floor will take a full day as well. It might be about time for us to think about staying in the dungeon for a full week like other parties."

After looking at my face he looked up and replied.

Everyone else didn't say anything in particular but I can tell they don't really like the idea of it. After all, right among the 6 days in the week we're exploring the dungeon for 4 days, and have one half day off, and only one full day of rest. In other words, we only have 5 full days of breaks during the month. If it comes to this then it might be better to not use the standard as one week of work but rather one month.

For example, it might be good to split it into 10 days. From the first day until the sixth day we're in the dungeon, and then we have two days off on the seventh and eighth days and get some proper rest. On the ninth day we go to the dungeon but not to explore just to practice our cooperation. Nevertheless, if I think about the density of our training it still feels more efficient to do it in the vacant lot at the edge of town as we have up until now. And we rest on the tenth day. If we do this then the number of work days until now was 22.5 days will decrease to 21 days. However, the amount of time we'll be in the deeper floors of the dungeon will be incomparable to what we have until now so if we look at it comprehensively if it has any effect on our earnings it would rather increase them.

The problem is whether we can suddenly spend a whole week inside of the dungeon so putting it frankly, the amount of time we're restricted will increase more than now. You could also change the way of saying as the amount of time we can comfortably sleep on a bed will decrease. We still have to properly pay for the cost of the inn even when we're not staying there. Well, if it's an entire week, then it's like using the inn as an expensive locker but since everyone has amassed a decent amount of wealth. It's also possible to take one persons room and put everyone's stuff there for the time we're out but if someone were to take another persons room during that time it would probably feel unpleasant.

If they're interested in it, I could make use of my privilege as a Type-2 company and create a paid locker in the government office of Rombertia and Baldukk as well. It costs an amount the same level as the cost of an inn but if you gather your assets into a currency above silver coins it isn't all that bulky so if you definitely want to store your assets it's a potential option. Although, this is an asset preservation system for Type-2 companies when they're in the vicinity of the capital to do business for a few days so there's not many people who use it for long periods. That's why it requires quite an expensive maintenance cost of 5,000 Z (50 copper coins) per day.

It's a 60 cm or so cube locker but even if it's just silver coins you put quite a few inside and if you made it into gold coins then let alone a town you could fit enough of them in to buy an entire territory and still have some change leftover. I'm sure you could easily fit several billion Z inside. When you leave it to them the officials produce a list of the amounts and goods inside and confirm status as well. Obviously the license of a Type-2 company is necessary as well so even if they're a noble if they don't have a company over Type-2 then they can't use it.

After that another method of safely maintaining your assets is leaving them at the temple. As a matter of fact at the temple in Baldukk I'm borrowing a locker similar to the one at the government office. I'm saving up all of the assets I've earned from business selling armor and inside of the dungeon. It costs the large amount of 300,000 Z (30 silver coins) per month but for starters it's safe and since you can just keep leaving stuff there it's reliable for me. The only amount I have on hand is at most? 10,000,000 Z (10 gold coins).

By the way, right now I've left 370 gold coins there, a bit over 370,000,000 Z. Gold coins have a diameter of a bit over 6 cm and width of over 3 mm, so if it's just 500 or so of them then they'll fit inside of a small bag. It seems that platinum coins are one size larger but since I've never seen the real thing I don't know. Even gold coins you can only use at reasonably large stores and right now just one locker is plenty large enough so I have no problem at all.

I digressed a bit there but I guess it's going overboard worrying about the cost of their inn huh? Since I'm paying plenty in wages and how they use that is their freedom.

"..Hn..I guess so. I guess it's fine as we are now until we get to 80% completed on the map of the 5th floor. Either way when we go to the 6th floor there's no choice but to change the method we do it, let's think about it after seeing the 6th floor a number of times."

Even then suddenly spending a week in the dungeon is something to consider over. It might be better to slowly increase the days instead. I'm sure it's necessary to get used to the mentality of remaining tense for several days straight after all.
