Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

Year 7442, Month 10, Day 26

Since that sort of thing happened the other day for a moment I worried about what kind of face I should make in front of Ralpha and Bel but I thought once again that I don't particularly need to change the way I act so I can just act the same as usual.

Since they didn't seem any different than usual as well I was relieved.

After confirming our equipment the same as usual we entered the dungeon.

We proceeded through the 1st and 2nd floors in ultra express mode and when we arrived at the teleport room on the 2nd floor it was just about noon.

We ate the soup made with hot water from magic along with some sandwiches we brought along and took a break for about an hour.

During our break I was telling some jokes to Ralpha and Bel, and Zenom, Zulu, Angela joined in on that.

It's the same as usual.

No, it might just be my imagination but it seems like Ralpha's expression is stiff.

"What is it? Are you tired?"

We probably walked close to 15 km to clear through the 1st and 2nd floors.

We've already walked through both of them countless times and we have a map where the traps are listed including several we added ourselves so the tension should have been considerably reduced.

Though I say that, since it's descending through the dungeon at a speed of close to 2.5 km/hour so there's no way it wouldn't be painful or exhausting.

"Hn, I'm alright. But, I guess I was a bit on guard? Didn't we talk about those sorts of things yesterday? That's why I thought I need to give it my best and not fail. Fu~ but, after all I think I might be a bit tired...Sorry, let me rest for a bit longer."

Come to think of it, among us only Bel's Endurance is 12 and considerably low. The next lowest ones after Bel are Ralpha and Angela but even then they have 16, so it's 33% higher than Bel.

I'm sure her Endurance will increase from here on out with level up and age but why did Ralpha get tired before Bel this time?

I wonder if it's related to the fact that Bel is a Rabbit-people race?

Or maybe Ralpha is just weak to tension and easier to exhaust herself?

I tried gently taking a look at Bel's state but she doesn't seem to have changed at all and is happily talking about something with Angela.

It's not like we're in such a hurry that we have to fight over one or two months.

Thinking about things from here on out so I think it would be best to clarify as many things as possible that I've put off around here.

"I see, don't push yourself. If it's painful then you can say so anytime."

Alright, it's a shame even though we've made it this far for today but let's just take a look in the 3rd floor and then return.

After tomorrow we'll take it a bit easy in the dungeon for a short while and I'll try doing something about the things I've been putting off for a while.

"Eh...Yeah..I'm sorry. Somehow, Al, have you become kinder? But, I don't want you to misunderstand."

Ralpha grabs both of her shoulders like she's protecting her body and moves away from me.

"You know, are you seriously trying to anger me? What about it?"

I've decided, Ralpha, I'm going to use you as an excuse.

I'll provide you with the perfect role for a terrible farting bug.

Rather~ after all let's go as far as we can on the 3rd floor.
