Susannas, Ray, and Sett, who are investigating the disease, went around the distiller's quarters in the south and west of the city, but with no apparent clue, they came to the eastern vault almost as if they were inertia. But as soon as Seto looked at the vault, he let out a groan of alarm, and Ray and Sazanas also tightened their expressions.

"... Ray,"
"Oh, it looks like a big hit."

　Ray nods to Sazanas' words and makes his way to the repository in front of him, tightening his expression.

"Mr. Sasanas? And that person...?"

　Two guards near the entrance turn suspiciously at the two and one approaching, but Sasanas ignores it and calls out to the guards.

"Well, I'll have to look into the building for a moment, so you'll stay a little further away from this vault."
"What? I don't mind that, but what are you looking into?"
"With regard to this magical fever... No, wait. Didn't you all have a magical fever here?"

　I don't know if it's related to the fever, but it's still the guards guarding the eastern vault that will obviously have something wrong. It would have been natural for the two bosses, Sazanas, to ask so out of concern. But both guards nod without hesitation.

"Yes, I'm glad I had some magical powers."
"So do I,"
"…I see. It must be a blessing in the midst of misfortune." Anyway, stay a little away from here. Never go into that vault until we come out."

　Fortunately, the two guards were familiar with Sasanas, though they would have reacted like the guards who normally kept the storage. For that reason, he must have understood that the desperate situation he is now in is not normal. keep a small distance from the storage in front of one's nod
　After confirming it, Sazanas put his hand on the handle of the sword hanging from his waist and always let it slip out. Ray then takes the familiar death size out of the mystery ring, even though he hesitates for a moment over whether to use a mislyl knife or a death size. Next to Ray, he was ready to avoid and attack at any time after all. Sazanas reach out to the storage door as they watch it.
　a storage door that opens with a jingling sound
　And when the door opens, Ray and Sazanas frown at the discomfort that drifted from inside.

"This is..."
"I don't know if this is the cause of the fever, but there is no doubt that there is something wrong here. Do you have any idea?"
"There's no way. It's just a place to keep the liquor in the first place."
"Grull".

　a set of low‐pitched voices of the first floor
　Ray and Sasanas, who have no ability to sense magic, were able to sense it as a sense of strangeness.

"...well, I don't know what's going on." I'll go in the order of Seto and Sasanas."
"Don't I have to be the first?"
"Oh, as you can see, my weapon is this great. If you're in front of me, it's more difficult to use."

　Sazanas nods convincingly, turning to Rey's words and turning to Death Size.

"I understand that it is difficult to use the weapon if there are people around you, but... are you okay? If you destroy a barrel containing sake, you get a lot of complaints."
"As for that, tell me not to me, but to this cause." Now, shall we go?"

　I suppose you're trying to get rid of the tension. Rey also makes a quick return to Sasanas, who says something lightly, and goes to the bottom of the first floor.
　for about ten minutes As we are on the alert for the surroundings, we can reach the innermost part of the first floor of the storage room.
　And what they saw there was a white circular substance that was buried in the ground.

"What is that?"

　Sazanas mutter behind Ray. There are only pure doubts in its tone whether it is a first-time object.
　But...

"Stupid, what's that here!"

　When Ray sees the substance and reflexively understands what it is from Zepyle's knowledge, he hears a cry of surprise.

"Ray, do you know?"

　Reverting to Sasanas' confirming question, Rey nods softly.
　Yes, Ray knew what the object was. No, to be exact, I didn't see Zepail's knowledge in person, but I think it's right to describe him as having felt a similar existence.

"Dungeon's core..."
"...what?"

　Sazanas asks again when he hears a husky voice that comes out of Ray's mouth. With that voice, Ray also braces his face and tells them again what the substance is in front of him.

"It's the core of the dungeon," I'm sure."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, wait a minute. Why is Dungeon's core here?"
"You don't want me to ask you that." Well, it's pretty much predictable."

　In the first place, the core of a dungeon is made from the materialization of the magic of its surrounding it. In other words, it would be natural to think that for some reason the magic around here was materialized.

"How can Ray tell me that this is the core of the dungeon, maybe something else?"

　I want you to be mistaken. Such a wishful question is denied by Ray's shaking his head.

"What do you mean there's a dungeon near Gilmoo?"
"Of course I know that, but... no way."
"That's just what Sazanas imagined. I used to go to the bottom of the dungeon on a small request. Then I saw the core of the dungeon with my own eyes. This one is much smaller in size, but you can safely assume that it is true."

　I can't talk about Zepyle's knowledge, so I answered Sazanas in such a misguided way, but never took my eyes off what was in front of me.

"And what are you going to do?"
"I don't mind if you ask me," Since I'm not from this city in the first place, wouldn't it be possible to dispose of it on my own, assuming that it's the core of a dungeon? I've heard that there are a few cities called labyrinthine cities. It's a coincidence, but a dungeon might form in the city. Is it okay to destroy this nuclear program without asking for the possibility of becoming a labyrinthine city?"
"... well, I'm sure." By the way, do you think this dungeon's nucleus is the cause of the fever?"
"I think so. There's nothing so plainly suspicious as this is the case."

　Sazanas must be convinced that the core of the dungeon in front of them is the cause of this magical fever. breathe out a little sigh and head back toward the storage entrance"Sasanus?"
"I'm sorry, but I'll report this to Mr. Deerlogo or Mr. Seith. If the dungeon's core is the cause, we can't judge for ourselves."
"All right, but hurry as much as you can." Fortunately, the core of this dungeon hasn't become a proper one yet, but over time it will grow and bring monsters to the area."
"I know. I'll talk to you as soon as I can, and Ray, please watch the troublesome treasure here."

　That's all I've said, and I'm rushing out of the closet.
　Shortly afterwards, voices were heard asking what had happened to the guards, but they seemed to have hurried to the hangar without sufficient answer.

"...I never thought I'd see the nucleus of a dungeon in a place like this."
"Glu".

　A set of alert eyes to the core of the dungeon, with a squeal of voice at Rey's words.
　Whether Ray or Seto, they confirm the existence of a silver lion, a Rank S monster, at the bottom of the dungeon that they dived under. No, I didn't see it with my own eyes and only heard it in Ver's words, but the pressure I felt throughout the room was not ordinary.
　Well, even Ver, who seems to have eaten up, is such a monster that he turned pale. What if a monster of that level appeared here now? This seemed to Ray to be nothing more than a nuisance than a treasure as Sasanas had said.

"Grull?"
"No, nothing,"

　He gently stroked Sett's head, asking, "What's wrong with you?" and clenched the death-size handle in his hand so that Ray wouldn't miss the slightest oddity, and that if something happened, he'd be ready to deal with it.





"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

　While Ray and Sett were monitoring Dungeon's nucleus, Sasanas were running around the city at speeds close to full speed.
　For some reason, the core of the dungeon appeared in this city, where distilled liquor is the only notable feature. I don't know why dangerous objects like the core of the dungeon were created, but for Sasanas, they were nothing but plague gods.
　However, as long as we have found the core of the dungeon, we can't decide to destroy it on our own.
　Alternatively, the city might have taken steps to turn the city of Barr into a labyrinth if it had not been Deerlogo or Sace at the top of the list. Fortunately, however, there was no aristocrat who was the original lord of this town. If there were any, there was a high possibility that they would have put in a strange way, and in that sense, it was a little bit against the devil's fever.It wasn't that I didn't want to be thankful, if only a little.

"Sa, Sazanas!"

　Sazanas, who is out of breath, finally reaches the lord's house, and the gatekeeper approaches him in a different color.
　Sasanas today looked so extraordinary.

"Mr. Deerlogo, oh, oh, oh...
"What? Oh, yes. I'm just talking with Mr. Seith about the future."
"Well, I see. I see. Go and tell me I have something to do at once. It's as urgent as day!"

　He must have realized that this was an extraordinary situation even for a soldier, when he screamed at the shoulder of the soldier who approached him with all his might. When I leave my sazanas with my partner's soldiers, I hasten to the lord's house.

"Mr. Sazanas, for the moment, drink this and breathe."
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry."

　"Sazanas, who can finally take a rest after drinking tea that is warmed to the skin level in a water bottle at one gulp."

"What happened to you? I can't believe Sazanas, who is always relaxed, is running in such a breathless."
"…I'm sorry, but I can't say that yet." But there's a bit of trouble going on. I came running to tell Mr. Diarlogo about it as soon as possible. But Mr. Seith is here, too?"
"Oh, yes,"
"Maybe luck has turned out better,"

　At first, Sazanas was very hesitant about whether to go to the guild or the manor house. Sace, a wizard, probably knows more about dungeons. However, judging that the first thing he had to do as a city guard was to pass on the information to his immediate superior, Deerlogo, and considering the distance from the East storage, he came to the lord's residence which was a little closer. If this had gone towards the guild, it would have been a complete waste of time, without Seis's appearance.
　It's only a small thing, but it's why I smile a little bit, saying maybe I'm lucky.
　Under such a "sasanas" situation, a security guard comes running up to us for the report.

"Mr. Deerlogo told me to get Mr. Sasanas through as soon as possible. I would like to hear the report directly with Mr. Seith."
"All right. I'll be there soon. in your office?"
"Yes,"
"Perhaps..."

　the sasanas who stop muttering to that extent
　Feeling suspicious, the guards turn their heads slightly and enter the lord's residence.

(If that was really the core of the dungeon, it's not a good idea to make a fuss carelessly. and there is a high possibility that you can't do anything about it at the level of a soldier.)

　He went through the lord's residence, muttering in private, and arrived at his office.

"Excuse me. I've brought Mr. Sasanas."
"Come in,"

　Sasanas enters the office listening to the exchange of Deerlogo with the guard.
　In the room, as expected, the main Deer logo of this room. And the guildmaster, Seith. There were some other influential figures in the city.

"When you came here, who were working with Ray, did you ever know the cause of the fever?"

　Sasanas speaks after thinking for a few seconds about what Diarlogo says with great enthusiasm.

"I've made a very important discovery which seems to have something to do with it." If possible, I would like to inform only Mr. Deerlogo and Mr. Seis about this matter."

　Sasanas tells the rest to leave.
　Only those in Barr's city of considerable standing and power are now in this office. Naturally, he frowns uncomfortably at the remark, but Deerlogo, who is familiar with Sasanas' character, hesitates for a few seconds and makes a decision.

"All right. The conversation was just dragging on. Let's take a break. ...Sace, you're with me."
"Yes,"

　With the words of Deerlogo, the meeting will take a break and take Seith and Sasanas to the next room.

"... Now that we've come to this point, I suppose there's been much more to it?"

　Sazanas speaks regardless of what Diarlogo said that he would not forgive unless it was too much to say nothing.
　Yes, if you're not good at it, it might affect the whole city of Barr.

"The East's repository of spirits. I confirmed that there was a dungeon nucleus there."
