Ray looks at the body of an auger lying in front of him, having a strange experience of being exposed to the morning sun in the woods.
　The amputated right shoulder and neck were still bleeding, and as soon as they were stored in a mistling, he himself seemed to be covered with blood, he decided to wait until the bleeding had subsided.

"As expected, exercising from early in the morning is tiring.Let's take a break, Seth, until the blood is over."
"Glu".

　Seth nods to Ray's words and lies on the grassy ground a little away from his blood.
　Then Ray puts his weight on the body of Seto's lion and breathes out.

"Look,"

　Pear-like fruit taken out of the mistling is served directly to the set, and the fruit is harvested with a happy throat.
　He smiled at the scene and took out his portion and bit it.
　Even in such a relaxed state, Seto's five senses are always working, and he suddenly turns his gaze towards the forest.For a moment, Ray reached out to Death Size, which he had placed on the ground, but as soon as he realized that the place ahead of Sett's gaze was where they had been at night, he let go of Death Size.
　Seto, too, took off his gaze, and in that direction he heard the sound and conversation of stepping on the grass.

"Ver, is this all right?"
"Yes, yes, I am sure, given the stench of so much blood."
"It stinks of blood.Well, there's a possibility that they're dead."
"Wait a minute, Custe. You're talking too much."
"Well, it's Ray and Seto in the first place. If that's what they fought with dragons, I don't think they'll be hit by monsters here."
"...huh!"
"Custe, you must understand Ray's ability, don't you? Fix that condescending attitude.Ray doesn't seem to mind, but it's not pleasant to watch."
"But, Elena!"

　It was, as I expected, the Elenas who emerged from the bush, speaking in such a way.

"Oh, come on.Look at that.There must be a strong smell of blood in it."

　Ver, who fell to the ground and was still bleeding from his neck and right shoulder, uttered a mixture of surprise and amazement.
　Next to him, Arla and Custe were also amazed at the sight that was spreading before them.
　Meanwhile, only Elena watches the scene calmly and discovers Ray and Sett resting a little further away.

"Ray, Seto. I'm glad you're safe.I was surprised to hear that he jumped out of the blue, but he didn't seem to have any injuries."

　When he heard the call, he noticed Seto lying on the ground with three others and Ray leaving his weight with him.
　The four of them turn their eyes on him, and Ray stands up with a bitter smile and approaches Elena.

"Is this orgasm the enemy you felt?"
"Yes, it's this big thing.There was a considerable sound just by walking, and it shook lightly as well, so I knew it right away.So, if things went on like this, that camp could have turned into a battlefield, so I went out.""...yes, sir.I have a few things to say, but your judgment is generally correct.for you and one of Set and one of them had knocked him down without any injury."

　Elena said that, and at last turned her eyes to AUGER, whose blood was running low.

"And have you been bleeding now?"
"Well, that's about it.If I put it in the item box, time won't go by, so I don't need it, but I couldn't help it because I cut my neck and right arm when I tried to knock it down.If I put it in the item box with the blood still running, I would have blood on it."
"I see. Well, I'm glad I'm not injured.But it's a dungeon that an auger of this size should come out."

　Ray looks at Elena's words in wonder.
　This is the first time I've met an auger, so I don't know the average size.

"Is it that big?"
"Yes. One size... more than two sizes larger than the individual I saw before."
"So is it a rare species by any chance.
"No, it looks like an ordinary auger.but they simply grew larger than other individuals.Look, it stopped bleeding.Get some storage right away.Now that we have to explore the fourth basement level and find the stairs leading to the fifth basement level, let's eat breakfast and resume our search.I think I'll be busy again today, so please take care of me."

　Elena would have been up less than twenty minutes, but she would pat Ray on the shoulder with a smile without showing any signs of half asleep or sleeping habits.
　It seemed to Ray that she was not quite a duchess, but rather a princess general.

"As Ray and Elena said, most of the blood is running out, so maybe it's time to put it in storage. Maybe other monsters will come to smell this blood."
"Well, I'll pick it up and have breakfast and find the stairs."

　While nodding to Ver's words, the right arm and head of the auger are stored, and the giant body is also stored.
　They felt as if they had suddenly widened their surroundings as their giant body, which was over five meters tall, disappeared easily into the mystery ring.

"Well, I suppose we'll be going back to the camp.It's a little early, but let's say we have breakfast as Ray said we're going to have breakfast."

　He nodded to Elena's words, and left him for the camp.





"Oh, there's still some spark left.I'm lucky."

　As he reached the camp, he threw the dead wood that Ver had prepared for firewood into the bonfire.
　Seeing the wood burn and the fire increase in intensity, Elena turns to Ray.

"Ray, please have breakfast."
"Yes,"

　He nodded, took out a few hot dog-like buns, and at the same time took out a huge pot of stew that he had eaten yesterday.

"Grull".

　He must have been caught by the smell.Seto also rubs his head against Ray, chanting.

"Oh, I know,"I have your share ready, so don't worry."

　Along with Elk, a member of Raijin's axe, a lump of oak processed into an edible size is taken out of the mistyling, stabbed with several branches and started to bake over a bonfire so as not to fall down.
　In addition, the size that is easy to eat means the size that is easy to eat for the seto, and for the laymen, a lump is sometimes a certain size."Well, I'm sorry for Seto, but we'll have one step ahead of the way."

　Elena said, and it was easy with hot dogs and stews... but it was a gorgeous breakfast time for a dungeon.
　Ray also picks hot dogs and stews and applies the sauce taken out of the mistyling to the surface of the roasted oak meat, and then grills it again to give it a flavor, and places the meat on a huge leaf.

"Grull!"

　As soon as I can't wait, I'll bite the meat.
　The savory smell of the sauce burning over the fire spread around them, which inevitably stimulated their appetite.
　Arra, who was watching the meat that Seto was eating, seemed to have lost her patience.Speak to Ray.

"Ray, my lord. I'd like to try the meat, if you don't mind."
"Arla, too? Then, can you give me my share?"
"Well, then shall I get one?"

　Not only Arra, but also Ver and Elena couldn't say no to her request, so rather, she stuck oak meat cut into human-sized pieces into branches of trees growing there, spread sauce on it, and bake it on a bonfire.

"Oh, it smells good.It's the kind of food you can never eat at home."
"That's because it's not as good a dish as the one served at the table of course.

　Laughing bitterly at Ver's words, he immediately hands over the grilled skewers to each of them because they are bite-sized.

"Custe, what are you going to do? I don't mind sharing it if you eat it."

　Ray glances toward Custe with a skewer in his hand that smells appetizing.

"I don't want it,"

　But Custe refused in a word, forcing the hot dog, which was still more than half full, into his mouth, and pouring it down with a stew into the hollow of a tree where his stuff lay.

"Not at all... I'm sorry, Ray. You've been so considerate of me.

　When Elena apologizes while eating oak meat, she shakes her head with a wry smile.

"I'm used to it now, but it was a little surprising that Mr. Elena didn't complain when he said he'd eat oak meat."
"Oh, come to think of it, I'm sure.It would be better to say that Couste is a Duchess."
"I understand what Ver means, but remember what you've been saying.I would have eaten monster meat on the battlefield because of a shortage of supplies."

　It was not Veru but Arra who nodded to the words.Again, he nods while tasting the oak skewers.

"Well, you know, the replenishment unit was attacked by the Vestian Empire... but I don't think it was as good as this oak that I ate then."
"Basically, the more magical the monster's meat, the more delicious it becomes.If you felt that it tasted worse than rank D oak meat, it would have been from a lower rank monster meat.--well, there's meat as delicious as poison-toad's feet, even if it's a low-ranked monster."
"Ray is right.The meat I ate at that time must have been a monster of rank F or G.

　While talking like that, the oak skewers soon disappear.In the first place, they served only a tasteful amount, so there was no such amount.
　Next to it, Seto finished eating the second block of meat and purring contentedly.Everyone's hunger subsided, and there was a warm atmosphere about them.Ray boils water into a pot from Mistiling and makes a simple tea to enjoy the after-dinner moment.

"...well, now that we have eaten, let us begin our search for the day.If possible, I should like to pass through this floor and go to the fifth basement floor."
"According to the adventurers I met upstairs, there is an undead in the fifth basement,"
"No one among us can use the magic of fire, which is supposed to be the weakness of the undead, but now you are you?"

　He nodded slightly, smiling bitterly at Elena's words.

"The weakness of our party is that we don't have the face to use the magic of fire.I could use magic to some extent."
"What about Ver? ... oh, come to think of it, it's certainly the lord'said he.

　Ver takes a sip of the tea made in a glass and smiles bitterly at Ray's words.

"Well, it's really rudimentary if you say it works.I learned it because it was necessary to work behind the scenes of this unit.It's basically like releasing traps."
"But it's all right because you can use magic.I'm the only one in this squad who can't use magic, and I'm a little shy."

　This is also Arra, who speaks dissatisfiedly over a cup of tea.

"... to be honest, my dear Ray, this tea is not good enough."

　Correction. Apparently, I was dissatisfied with the poor tea.
　Arra, who also plays the role of Elena's maid, must be dissatisfied with Ray's tea, which was made appropriately, ignoring the procedures.
　though Elena himself was so accustomed to eating and drinking in battle that she drank without any particular complaint.

"And the problem is the flock of water-monkeys that attacked us yesterday.I hope you'll give up on yesterday's incident..."

　Elena's gaze turned a little further away.
　It is a place where the bodies of monsters attacking the night camp overlap to form a small pile.
　The goblins are the most common, but in addition to lizards, giant bats, Soldier Ants, and horn rabbits, there are also a few water monkeys that have just been mentioned.

"Perhaps it was that group of scouts or something that attacked me at night.I killed one of them, too.
"You are right, aren't you?"Then we should see that the flock hasn't given up on us.and the individuals who had been sent on reconnaissance attacked us in the night-guard, taking advantage of the opportunity."
"It was pretty big for the boss of that flock, Water Monkey.That's a rare species or something."

　After nodding to Ver's words and drinking the last sip of tea, Elena starts.

"Well, let's get ready for our departure.Those who wash dishes should be careful of monsters by the water."

　At last the second day of the dungeon began, following Elena's instructions.
