385 Episode 0385



a girl who appeared in the wizards of the Rays The girl, let alone Ray and Elena, says a word at Seto without any change of expression.

"Yes,"

 I passed by Ray as if I had done all I could for him...

"Wait a minute,"

 Elena, next to Ray, reaches out to the girl's shoulder.

"Huh?"

 The girl's way of tilting her head is adorable, but her facial expression is almost the same, which gives her a somewhat inorganic impression.

"Huh? No, not that's not it. This is a dungeon. It's not a good place for a child like you to come alone. Are you alone? Are there no parents, parents, or parties?"
"Yes,"

 a little girl nodding to Elena's question
 Watching Elena and the girl interact, Ray observes the girl in front of him.
 I guess I'm about ten or so years old. It's equipped with leather armour that seems to have been made of monster skin in minimal areas, such as the torso or parts of the arm, perhaps because of its importance on mobility. And the sheaths of the dagger are held one on each side of the waist, and the small crossbow is held in the hand. He carries an arrow barrel and a backpack on his back.
 His neat features, such as his shoulder-length blue hair and black eyes, even made Ray feel sure he would be beautiful in the future.
 What is most distinctive of all is the expression on his face. Even though I've seen Seto so close up, he still doesn't change a single expression.

(A child like this goes to dungeon alone? No, I understand that I'm not old enough to talk about people.)

 I've known through a lot of experience that I'm about 15 years old. However, the difference between the ages of 10 and 15 is very different.
 Even Elena must be surprised to see a little girl diving alone in the dungeon. ask a girl, stooping and looking at her

"I don't think you're lost, but why are you diving alone in the dungeon today?"
"Huh?"

 The girl, as always, leaned slightly, took a card out of her pocket as if she had understood what Elena had said. Ray, who was watching the conversation from the side, could easily understand that the card was a dungeon card.

"Do I look at this?"
"Yes,"

 a little girl nodding to Elena's question and offering a card
 Elena takes a dungeon card and looks through it, as if pushed by it.
 The girl approaches Tetetete and Seto and looks fixedly at them, perhaps tired of them.

"Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu?"

 It must have been uncomfortable for Seto to be able to watch without moving a single expression. give a bemused sound
 Staring at her, the girl suddenly reaches out and caresses her on the head.

「……」

 A set with a momentary look of embarrassment on the hand that rubs his head without changing his expression. However, after coming to Egzil, he may have been frightened of the time. squint comfortably at a girl who caresses her head without threatening her.

"Do you stroke Seto without fear when you meet him for the first time?" It's unusual since I came to Egidil. Most of them were not scared until they saw Seto eating."

 mutter admiringly, and Elena pats Ray on the nodding shoulder.
 Looking over there, Ray is handed the girl's dungeon card that Elena had.
 It was labelled "Bune Fraut," proving that the girl, who was stroking Sett's head expressionlessly in front of her, had a surname.

"Do you have a family name? Are you an aristocrat? No, but do aristocrats throw a child like this into a dungeon?"

 Elena shook her head at Ray's words.

"No, certainly this girl... Bune has a family name, but not a noble.k. Don't you remember that Egjil was originally ruled by four houses as autonomous cities, but one of them collapsed."

 Now that you've said that, you can understand what Elena said to Ray and what kind of background Bune comes from.

"That is to say, this Bune is of the blood of his ruined house?"
"Perhaps not. And look at the bottom of the dungeon card."

 At the urging of Elena, Ray looks at the dungeon card again. The letters Guildrunk D were written there.

"Hey, at this age, rank D..."
"Oh, I'm sure you're a pretty good hand. As far as I can see, I'm a soloist."
"No, it's not,"
"Huh? What's wrong?"

 Ray shook his head at such words from Elena.

(Is it natural that Elena, who knows little about adventurers, does not know about the rank-up exam?)

 with a murmur of one's content
 a rank‐up examination to be promoted to rank D It essentially involves killing people, and Bune's rank D means that the girl in front of her is still about 10 years old and experienced murder.

(No, or is it only guilds that kill people? In the first place, guilds don't always make such children act like they kill people.)

 Passing Ray's mind was Guild officials at Guillum. They include receptionists Kenny and Lenora, Gran, who was in charge of his own rank-up exams, and Marina, the guildmaster.
 No one past my mind could have put a 10-year-old girl like Bune in front of me on a ranking test that required murder. Even I, who looked about fifteen years old, was probably on the verge of death...
 That opinion was certainly right. If the guildmaster of the guild in Egzil had been Marina, he would not have done so.
 However, as long as the four families of the former blood that formed the labyrinth city of Egzil wanted to, Bune passed the upgrade examination and was successfully promoted to Rank D.
 It was a tragedy that occurred because of Bune's half-adventure... and his genius as a thief:
 Bune himself, however, would have had no problem if he could get more money, and would have bled his hands with joy.

"Anyway, isn't it dangerous for a child like this to be in a dungeon alone? What if you don't mind acting with us?"
"Yes!"

 Bune shook his head at Elena's words.
 As for Beune, this second basement is a story that he captured a long time ago, and he feels little danger. The reason I came to such a place is simply because I was asked by the guild to deliver a special thread used in the trap on the second basement.
 One of the reasons Bune is acting solo is that he has to split his pay for a party. Well, that's probably the main reason.

"Yes,"

 Viewers look at their own dungeon cards held by Elena and hold out their hands. Knowing what it means, Elena gently returns the dungeon card she was holding."Are you going to act solo?"
"Yes,"

 a nod to Elena's question
 Looking at it, Elena then gently reaches out to Bune's blue hair, breathing out.

"Well, I don't think it's a good idea to let a child like you dive into the dungeon alone."My name is Elena. I'm staying at a hotel called Golden Futei, so if anything happens, please let me know."
"Yes!"

 Bune nods and then turns to Ray.
 With that gaze, Ray, who understands that his name is being heard, shrugs his shoulders slightly and opens his mouth.

"I'm Ray. This is Set. And the one on Elena's shoulder is Yero. Well, I'm glad to meet you."
"Yes,"
"Glu".

 Bune nods a little, reaches out and caresses her head as Seto purges.

"Cute!"
"Yes!"

 Leaping from Elena's shoulder and landing on Seto's back, Yero cries in the same way, and Bune caresses his head.
 Yellow looks small, but there's no doubt it's a dragon. If not as much as Gryphon's set, it's no use showing some fright to strangers.
 But Bune caresses Yero on the head without a trace of care.

"Cute!"
"Yes,"
"Squeak?"
"Yes,"
"Squeak!"
"Yes,"

 a strange conversation with a person Bune only says 'n', but for some reason Ray turns his head in spite of the fact that he understands the language.
 Elena watched the conversation with a faint smile in her gaze, leaving the usual dignified atmosphere intact.

"Yes,"

 Finally, muttering, and stroking Seto and Yellow's heads with both hands.
 After a few seconds, they let go of their heads and raise their hands slightly to Ray and Elena before leaving.

"See you again, Bune!"
"Yes!"

 Bune nods softly to Elena's words and runs straight downstairs.
 After seeing him off and looking around quietly, Ray also opens his mouth.

"Well, let us go, let alone Bune," But Bune ran away, but the traps were all right... I guess. He was obviously a thief."
"Well... well, Ray,"

 The words made Ray understand what Elena meant.
 Boy soldiers are not so uncommon in battle. Some are forcibly drafted by lords, others volunteer instead of taxes, and others become soldiers themselves for a turnaround.
 But even though they are boy soldiers, there are very few, like Bune, who are about ten years old.
 I might have looked for it, but at least I had never seen Elena. I was aware that that might be why I was concerned about Bune.

"Well, I don't think rank D would be a problem. ...and did you see the arrival layer of the dungeon card? It reached the 12th basement. I've heard that even the most advanced parties today have not reached the 30th basement level. Besides, Bune acted solo. I don't think there's any problem if it's about two basement floors."
"I know that, but I can't help but look... "
"Grull?"
"Squeak!"

 Seto and Yero break into Elena and Ray's conversation.
 Don't talk here, look down the aisle to move on.

"Well, there's certainly no point in talking here. and if the veneer had gone further than that, perhaps all the traps had been lifted."
"Well, what do you think?" the middle of a dungeon... you know."

 Ray responds to Elena as she walks down the aisle.
 There is a crossroads ahead of the line of sight, dividing the road into three parts: front, right, and left.

"... I'm sure." It is true that, if the roads are divided, we do not know whether Bune has released the trap in the passage we have taken."
"And where are you going?"
"On the map, if you go to the right, you'll find the stairs... I'm a little reluctant to go down to the third basement on the first day." Why don't you go to the left or the front today? So, which way do you go? I'll leave it to Ray's intuition as a Rank B adventurer."

 Elena insisted on leaving it to Ray's intuition as if she didn't have to hesitate. I guess it's not a bad feeling to be relied on by Elena while breathing out her words. Ray's face, pointing silently to the left, was covered with hood but had a small smile on his mouth.

"Grull?"
"Cute!"

 Seto's throat is tilted, and Yero's neck is tilted as if to imitate Seto's back.
 Feeling a touch of warmth in their conversation, they go down the left aisle.
 A few monsters appear along the aisle, almost as if they were Goblin or Poison Tordes, and on the other hand, they look like Soldiers Ants.

"Huh!"

 Kick the ground, scoop it up with a death-size stonghold, and stick the stonghold underneath the stomach.
 Next to Ray, Elena cuts off his torso with a blade of wind directed at Soldier Ant, or Seto's right leg breaks another Soldier Ant's head.





 After a few hours of dungeon fighting on the second floor, they escaped using the wizards near the stairs.
