It was early the next morning when I arrived at the dungeon.The party led by Elena is headed to the dungeon together.
　The party members are avant-garde Arra and Ray.Lieutenant Elena and Custe.The rear guard, Ver, was one of the five of the militant Seto.
　Compared to the height of summer, the sky is clear enough to call it autumnal.
　If you walk through the village feeling the weather, you will probably find adventurers heading to the dungeon.A party of about 5 people from soloists.Or I could see more parties for nearly 10 people.
　They repeat a pattern in which they are first fascinated by Seto, momentarily nervous, relieved to see the Juma necklace around their necks, and then dumbfounded to see Elena's good looks and cast a sharp glance at Custe and Arra.
　or perhaps some of the wizards who seemed to have been out of the guild last night.There were also a few people who stiffened and retreated as soon as they looked at Ray.

"What is the eye of all the people, who are pure and unimaginable, to Mr. Elena?That's why..."

　and he might have heard Custe muttering discontentedly, and Elena soothed him with a wry smile.

"Custe, it is usual for us to draw attention.I don't care, and you don't care too much either.And refrain from saying commoners.for most of them are commoners here.It is only inconvenient to make them uncomfortable.and you, who shared the battlefield, know that it has nothing to do with commoners and nobles to look at me fondly?"
"...yes, I'm sorry,"

　Elena was already accustomed to being looked at by men because she was forced to realize in her life that she was a beautiful woman.For that reason, he was not particularly upset to the extent that he could just look at him.though, if he had attacked me in a frenzy, I would naturally have drawn his connecting sword.The number of people injured in this way rose to a considerable number regardless of aristocrats or commoners.
　Arra calls out to such an Elena pityfully.

"If this is the case, we might as well have taken a carriage to the dungeon."
"Well, Arra,"It's okay to drive to the dungeon, but we're heading to the 7th basement, the lowest level of the dungeon. We're likely to stay for at least a few days.What are you going to do with the cab in the meantime?You can't leave it outside the dungeon, can you?"
"Yes, Ver isn't the one who has enough thoughts.and as soon as you ask the lodgers to come and pick it up, you can do the coachman from the beginning."
"...I don't know which is lacking in thought."

　He laughs at Aarra with his nose.

"Oh, what the heck?What's wrong with me?"
"Well, it's Warhorse pulling that carriage.That's remarkably good."
"Well, they're the right boys to pull Elena's cab."
"Don't you understand yet? Warhorses with high ability have a lot of pride.If you don't admit it, you won't take orders."
"...what?"
"Are you really a knight? That's common sense."
"Well, if that's the case, why don't you borrow another horse instead of them?"
"And make Warhorse sulk?"
"Slip..."

　Aura, who was completely defeated by Ver, was either embarrassed or ashamed of herself in front of an intoxicated Elena.At any rate, he blushed and kept silent.
　Fortunately, since the village was built around Dungeon, it must have been fortunate for both Aara and Ver that it did not take much time until they arrived at the entrance."Well, there are quite a few lines,"

　There are many adventurers lined up at the entrance of the dungeon. Approximately 30 people.About 10 parties?

"What should I do, Elena? I can go in first with the card I got yesterday."
"...yes, sir.The altar of succession is a long way off.You can't spend any extra time here.Before you do that, check the equipment.Arms, protective gear, or the sort of parts which you use at once?"

　Elena's words confirm the equipment on the spot.However, unlike others, Ray only takes the death size out of the mistling.I don't have anything other than a death size as I can always take it out of the mistling.

"Glu".

　Even with a set that rubs your head against your throat, the magic item's accessories are a wind-operated bracelet and a rigid bracelet fitted to your left and right front legs.In addition to the necklace of Juma, the equipment is complete with three pieces of Jiai no Shizukuishi which are hung around the neck.
　Summoners and tamed monsters with magic items are actually very rare.Because all three magic items that Seto is equipped with are first-class items with super quality created by Esta Noor, an alchemist of the Zepail family.

"I have no problem, Mr. Elena.You can leave anytime."
"So do I,"
"I can go any time,"

　Custe, Arla, and Ver tell Elena so, and Ray nods silently, and Seto sings in his throat.
　When Elena hears them, she also checks out the magic items of her equipment, such as a connecting sword, armor, cloak, and shoes, and makes sure she has the kind of parts.

"They're all ready,"Here we go."

　Elena declares and passes by a line in a dungeon to the guild staff near the entrance.

"Do you have a moment?"
"What do you want? If you go inside the dungeon, line up at the end of the line."

　The guild staff are bluntly telling me that they look like former adventurers in their late 40s.Still, he's in charge of the dungeon's entrance where monsters might come out, so he's probably got his own arm.
　His movements were in their own way, and the scabbard of the sword hanging from his waist was well used.
　and, above all, the fact that she was not attracted to herself only by a slight change in her expression, was, on the contrary, increasing Elena's favoritism.and, as far as he could see, he only moved his eyebrows lightly when he saw Sett.

"Look at this,"

　I gave him a card from a worker last night.It shows that they have the authority equivalent to the guild representative worker.

"... oh, I see.I can't complain if I can show you the card.Come in first."
"Hey, old man.What's that? It's my turn, isn't it?

　A solo adventurer, who was working with a guild official called his parents, complains, but as soon as he stares at them, he becomes quiet.

"This card is proof that you have the same authority as the guild's representative.If they give us this, we have no choice but to obey...I don't think so."

　The guild-keeper, speaking to the adventurer at the head of the procession, turned to Elena.

"It would be a problem to use such a thing so easily.I don't want you to do anything too disturbing.Think a little more and act next time."
"What, dear Elena!"Custe, who was about to hold a demon spear to listen to the rude remark, held his hand against the sheath of Elena's connecting sword.

"Don't, Custe, we are the ones who cut in, though we have the authority.It's only natural that you don't feel good about interrupting."
"...yes,"

　Custe, who, at the words of Elena, releases his disapproval. Next to him, Arra also releases her right hand from the sheath of her waist.
　Speaking of Ray, he watched the conversation, patting Seto on the back without doing anything in particular.

"I'm sorry, but there are a lot of things here, too.If you need power, you can't afford to hesitate to use it.You don't mind if I let you pass?"
"Yeah. Normally, you need a guild card, but if you have that card, you don't have a problem getting into the dungeon.But I must keep a copy of who entered the dungeon, does anyone have a guild card?"

　At the words, Elena and her party's eyes are on Ray.
　It was impressive for Ray that Custe, who disliked him, looked at him.

(Well, I think it's because I want to get into the dungeon as soon as possible.)

　muttering inwardly, he took the guild card from the mistling and handed it over to the man.
　A few adventurers, who knew what Ray had in his hand, looked sharply at him, but Ray, who was already accustomed to that kind of gaze, had ignored it.Instead of that, Seto would step towards him and threaten him with his throat.

"Well, it's rank D at that age. It's quite a growth stock.Are you sure you will never be employed by a party of nobles?"

　Guild staff members, who were about 15 years old and looked at Ray as if they were impressed, quickly filled out the contents of the guild card on the documents they had at hand, finished the work in less than a minute, and returned the card to Ray.

"I don't care if you join the dungeon."
"Yes, thank you."

　Elena nods gracefully, and her hair swings with her gesture, leaving the impression of the vertical roll with the adventurers around her.
　While the adventurers around them are fascinated by the scene, Elena and her party enter the dungeon.
　The entrance to the dungeon itself was an ordinary staircase.That is installed facing underground.

"Are these stairs part of the dungeon?"

　As she goes down the stairs, Arra asks Ver, but the question is denied.

"No, these stairs were prepared by the guild after the dungeon was built.Here's the evidence."

　At the end of the stairs is a rough door.It was set up by the guild to keep the monsters in the dungeon out.

"In other words, the end of this door is the real dungeon,"
"Grull".

　The stairs to the door were not so long, but the road was not so wide.Since Seto is only wide enough to not spread his wings, Seto sings discontentedly in the back of his throat as he walks down the aisle.
　However, as soon as he opened the door, his dissatisfaction subsided.The width of the road at the end of the door was so wide that even if Seto stretched out his wings, several more people could move freely.

"It's quite wide.and is the wall itself emitting a light?"

　muttered Custe admiringly, touching the dimly lit wall.

"According to the information I've collected, it seems that the walls themselves emit light is a common feature of all dungeons.Well, you must be on your guard, for there are some places in the dark where there is no light."
"Wouldn't it be a good income to bring this wall back to earth?"She muttered, but Ver shook his head with a wry smile.

"Don't you think there was any adventurer who thought that way? If you cut this wall and bring it to the ground, it won't shine.It seems to be only a function of dungeon.According to one theory, the core of the dungeon was made so that monsters living in the dungeon wouldn't feel inconvenient...
"Dungeon's core is for monsters? Is that possible?"
"Custe's question is well reasoned, but since he is using the monsters that live on the ground to protect the dungeons, they can't do enough without being completely dark?"
"...I see. Is that certainly possible?"

　Custé nods to Ver's words.
　With these cusstes sideways, Elena took a sheet of paper out of a cloth bag hanging in the opposite direction to the sheath of the connected sword.

"Dungeon sightseeing is good, but our goal is to become an altar of succession.There's only three basement floors on the map, but the bottom floor seems to be seven basement floors. Let's at least move on to where the map is.The avant-garde was Ray and Arra.The middle guard is Custe and I, and the rear guard is Ver.As for Seto, I'd like to leave the back of Ver at the end just in case.Here we go."

　The party follows Elena's instructions and goes down the dungeon.As expected, most of the enemies that came out were monsters that could easily be prepared, such as giant bats and horn rabbits, which were horny rabbits, because they were close to the ground.

"Not at all... I wish you could see the difference in power..."

　Arra wields a long sword down with amazing force and cuts the horn rabbit that rushed forward with the horn sticking out into a cracker.
　Next to him, Ray also swings his death size down and halts the giant bat he was aiming for a surprise attack from above.

"Grull".

　and behind the Lays was Seto, in high spirits, the perfect monster to eat.
　It is clear that it would not be enough money to strip the material or remove the magical stone, so neither Elena, the leader of the party, nor Ver, who was in charge of stripping the material, would give it to Seto without any particular complaint.

"Here, Seto,"

　Ray cuts corners that seem to disturb eating and throws horn rabbits into the set after properly scraping out the internal organs.
　Seto catches it well and almost swallows it.He didn't even peel his fur, but he didn't seem to care about it.
　It was originally a huge bat, but it was about the same size as its wings.If you cut off a feather that has no place to eat, what remains is that it is large enough to be eaten as a snack for Seto.
　Incidentally, it was unfortunate for Ray that even though Seto ate a horned rabbit or a giant bat, he never learned any new skills.
　If you throw away the horn of a horn rabbit, the raked internal organs, or the wings cut from a giant bat, slime, who is also a dungeon cleaner, cleans all of them up.Therefore, in dungeons, it is an unspoken understanding to overlook slime that does not attack you.
　After about half an hour of walking down the first basement level of the dungeon, he finally reached the stairs leading to the second basement level.
