Time goes back a little.
　The Lays, who had been looking at maps at a maze of crossroads on the third basement floor, were gradually slowing down as the same landscape continued.
　Scenic problems, too, can be attributed to the fact that they're moving on guarding against traps and the frequent attacks of monsters.
　Monsters themselves are low-ranking monsters that can be knocked down with a one-handed blow, but every time a monster appears, they stop walking, intercept, and take out the magical stones, so they can't earn any distance.

"Oh, again, Sword B. Don't let them attack you today."

　A swung death-size blow cuts several of Sword Bee's torso and falls into the passageway of the dungeon.

"Squeak!"

　Meanwhile, Yero escapes from behind to Seto, chased by Sword Bee.

"Roll-rolling.

　a high‐pitched set When Yero passes by, he opens his fist and spouts a firebreath.
　The Seto has a number of long-range attack tools, of which the Firebreath is the most powerful and powerful. With the flames in his mouth, he moves his neck, hurls high-temperature flames at about 10 Sword Bees after him, and falls down the aisle burning his whole body.
　Elena also wields his connected sword in a whip and cuts five Sword Bees together.
　The battle finally ends when Ray's fireballs gather the last few Sword Bees into ashes.

"Well, I wonder why they are attacking us." If it were at all, I should go to those who were looking for Sword B.'

　With a sigh, he quickly pulls out Sword Bee's magic stone with a disassembling knife and cuts off the sword part growing from the tail of the proof of defeat.

"Well, don't say so. As for the magical stones, you asked me to bring them as much as possible, and that's not a bad thing at all."

　Returning to Ray, Elena breaks up Sword Bee again, mimicking him.
　It is not difficult to cut a sword from its tail, but it seems that it is still unfamiliar to take out the magical stones buried in its heart, and it is taking a little time.
　It was, however, much quicker and more polite than when Ray dismantled the water bear in this world.

"You said you wanted a magical stone, but there's still a limit. --the magic stone of Sword Bee is so small that it will be bought at a low price."
"But it would be better for the inhabitants of Egjil to sell the magical stones at all costs than to run short of the magical stones?"
"...when I think of the number of inhabitants of Egzil, I think it's just a piece of course.

　While having a conversation like that, he keeps Sword B's magical stones and testimonials in the mistling.

`At least a beast-shaped monster would be a little food,'

(Well, I've heard that wasps, honeyhives, and bee larvae are high-quality ingredients in Japan, but... honey, let alone insects. No, I know it's a meaningless obsession because I eat oak or something like that.)

　Even though he was a monster, he could eat the meat of an oak or lizard man standing on two legs with weapons in both hands, but he didn't feel like eating insects.
　However, Seto was eaten like a snack with a stick, and Yero was also just as interested as Seto.

"Well, let's move on," If we go on like this, we should arrive at the stairs on the fourth basement floor in less time."
"...we need thieves, after all."

　Ray starts again, sighing at the slow speed of movement while searching for traps.
　Elena agrees with it with a little wry smile...

"Grunt!"

　In such a momentary relaxed atmosphere, the set suddenly sounds sharp.
　Understanding the vigilance contained in the call, Ray holds a death-size sword without saying anything, and Elena holds a connected sword.
　Ray, who slaps his tongue while looking around quickly so that he can respond whenever he is attacked.
　The Reyes are right in the middle of the crossroads. In other words, it's safe for enemies to come from anywhere.
　Fortunately, Sett is looking to the right in the crossroads, so even if an enemy comes, Ray always waits with magic ready to launch as a pre-emptive attack.
　Next to Ray, Elena opens her mouth softly.

"...the enemy?"
"There is no doubt about it. However, the place is bad. In the direction you came... No, I can't."

　Seto pulls Rey's dragon robe with a stick and shakes his head slightly when he tries to say "retreat."

"Then... it would be very quick to knock down the enemy coming from the right."
"I can't help it. However, considering the enemies of this class, the enemies that will come out are generally predictable, and salvation is considered to be salvation."
"Well,"

　Ray smiles at Elena's words.
　Almost all the enemies that came out were Sword Bee, and despite Seto's presence, it seemed that there was something to suppress his instinctive fear. Then you don't have much choice. That is to say...

"Of course,"

　a muttering ray as one looks at the enemy emerging from the back of the aisle
　Sword Bee is usually about 30 cm long, but in front of you is Sword Bee, nearly three times the size and about 1 m long.

"Is it a rare species or a superior species, or simply. -- what do you think?"
"Can't Ray understand?"
"Oh, I'm afraid," It wasn't in my monster book."

　In this labyrinthine city, you might be able to sell monster book with more information than guillem? I'm looking for knowledge of monster book and zepyle that I've read before, but I don't have any information about the huge Sword B. in front of me.

"Then you'd better deal with it as a queen bee for now." The queen bee is more likely than the rare or superior species, isn't it?"

　He nods to Elena's words as he turns his gaze to Sword Bee, who is trying to surround them, and so does Ray, focusing his magic on Death Size.
　It was Ray's magic that broke the balance by quietly observing each other.

"Fire, burn the enemy according to my will."

　Along with the chanting, a fireball of about 30 cm was made on the stone-butt...

"Fireball!"

　The magic is completed, and the ball of fire flies through the air first to burn down the supposed queen bee...

"Cheer up!"

　The wings of the queen bee rub together and sound like a song rings around. No, it was obviously a kind of voice. As if protecting the queen bee, a large number of Sword Bees will be exposed to the fireballs and burned to the ground. Ray slaps his tongue as he looks to defend the queen bee.

(There is only a queen bee, and it is not easy to get her friends to cooperate.) Then...you ought to be forced to hit the queen first.

　Make a quick decision and look at Elena.
　Elena whips her articulated sword to see if she understood what Ray wanted her to do.
　The point of the sword, controlled by Elena's magical powers, turns to the queen bee avoiding Sword Bee while drawing a complicated orbit through the air... but Sword Bee, who leans out in front of the queen bee just before hitting, stops the point with his body.

"Roll-rolling.

　I suppose he saw a gap there, and he passed through Sword Bee in the vicinity of the Queen's Bees using Wind Arrow."

"You've made a mistake in misjudging our fighting power!"

　With that word, Ray throws the spear out of the mistling in the face of the queen bee.
　The spear, which had been cut open and released to protect the queen, would pierce, crush, destroy, crush, and fly at the queen's large inflated torso without changing its course, the moment it was about to pierce.

"Cheer up!"

　When the queen bee roared, a wind barrier was created to block the rays from Sword Bee. The Queen's Bees will be hidden.
　Still, Ray's spear pierced the wind barrier, but the trajectory was clearly off the queen bee.

"The magic of the wind!""Ray, it' I can't even see Sword Bee approaching from elsewhere. They seem to have withdrawn."
"Withdrawal? I see. Then..."

　Just as Ray mutters, the wind barrier weakens and you can see the other side.
　Of course there was no queen bee, just a few Sword Bees stuck in the wall, skewered, probably through a spear thrown by Ray.
　What was worse would have been that the body of Sword Bee, which had fallen so far, was caught in a wind barrier and shattered, leaving no magical stones or proof of defeat.
　Ray, smacking his tongue at the scene, breathed out a sigh.

"I knew that I was running away, for I had let my men run away, but I never thought I'd be going to shatter the bodies of my men." Do you understand that our aim is to obtain magical stones, materials, and proof of subjugation?"
"...there's a possibility," Many insect monsters basically don't think about anything, but I've heard that some of them are strangely intelligent. That might have been the case. It's expected to be a queen bee. -- what shall we do?"

　As she asked, Elena was half expecting Ray's response.
　It was the first time, as far as we can see, that the queen of Sword Bee and Ray had met, and it was only natural that ...

"I haven't absorbed his magic stone yet." Of course I'll follow you."
"I thought so. Well, that's why Ray can't be left alone. if I were not with you."

　Finally, Elena goes on, somewhat stuck in words.
　It was the best appeal for him, but unfortunately it didn't work against Ray, who was conscious of the queen bee's magical stones.
　After checking the surroundings and looking in the direction the queen seems to have flown, Ray thinks for a few seconds before making a decision.

"I'm sorry, Elena," I'd like to obtain that queen bee magic stone. I should like to go straight to the stairs on the fourth basement."
"Oh, I see. Well, I thought it would happen because it was about Ray. I think you could care less about me."

　He breathed a little sigh when he found out that he had no appeal at all, but even Elena couldn't deny it to suit Ray's purpose.

"Then we'll go," That being said, it's a place with crossroads. -- Cet, can I ask you?"
"Grull!"

　a set of whining voices just to leave them to Ray's voice give a small smile and stroke one's head at his dependable appearance
　Seto frowns pleasantly for a moment, but immediately runs away.
　The smell still lingers, but the more time it takes to follow.
　Then the Rays also start running after Sett.
　It was originally intended to be wary of traps, but under the present circumstances, the queen bee will surely escape. Considering that, it would be quicker to run down the aisle at once, catch up with the queen bee, and defeat her, even if she was prepared for some danger.
　Regardless of whether it was Ray or Elena, they had only looked at each other without speaking out and confirmed each other's will and acted.

(Fortunately, all the traps in the third basement were of no consequence.)

　Ray muttering inwardly, chasing Sett's back.
　Elena runs next to her and Yero rides on her left shoulder. It was a party of two people and two people, but I felt a strange sense of satisfaction in being able to communicate with each other without wasting time.
　Run through the dungeon, sometimes straight to the right, sometimes straight to the left, without hesitation through the many crossroads.
　Sometimes I encountered monsters the moment I turned the crossroads, but most of them were low-ranked monsters like goblins, so Ray's death size passed by, Elena's connecting sword was cut off, or Sett's forefoot was smashed.
　The worst of them was the goblin that hit Sett on the shoulder as he passed. Because he ran without slowing down, pushing the goblin against the dungeon wall, and when he was finally freed from his set by the wall, he had lost less than half his weight.
　And...

"Grunt!"

　a short set
　After hearing the voice, Ray learns that he has caught up with the queen bee, but soon finds himself hearing the sound of battle.
　an angry voice or scream, or the sound of cutting or beating something Listening to them, Ray recalls the adventurer's voice in front of the stairs.
　And when I turned the last corner, I saw definitely Ray's predictable sight.
　He unleashed the magic which he had been chanting just in case, and gathered Sword Bee, who was a little further from the adventurer, and burned it up...

"Do you need help?"

　He would have called out so.
