"Is the 8th basement the same cave?"
"Well, as for that matter, Vichela told you that it was a cave to the tenth basement?"

　As he walked through the cave, Ray called out to the muttered Elena.
　Elena nodded that she understood what Ray said, but still gazed at the surroundings with a sigh.

"But don't you feel somber to go on and on in these caves?"
"I know how you feel, but as long as you're a dungeon, you can't help it."

　Ray smiles a little as he returns to Elena.
　After all, complaining means that you're so forgiving of Elena.

(For the time being, it's just like before...)

　We had a lot of awkward times due to the Vihela incident, but it was fortunate for Ray to be able to communicate with her naturally.

"Ray? What's the matter?"
"No, it's nothing. It's closer to lunch than that, and I'd rather have lunch. Is there any good place to rest?"
"Wait a minute," ... well, if you go down this aisle, you'll find a crossroads. If you go right along the crossroads, you'll run into a dead‐end cellar. If there were no traps, I think I could have lunch there. What would you do?"
"Of course I'll go there." set."
"Grull".
"Squeak!"

　When Ray calls out, Seto purges as if he knew it, and Yero, who is standing behind him, purr as well.
　But his steps came to a standstill just before the crossroads.
　Why did the set stop? Both Ray and Elena understood the reason. The reason is that the set has stopped several times in the past.
　That is to say...

"Trap,"
"I don't know who... or what kind of monsters are setting the trap, but they set the trap at the right time to make me sick."

　A sighing Ray and an unpleasant frown Elena.
　However, judging that this would only waste time, they immediately turned their eyes to the crossroads.
　First, look closely at the ground. Naturally, it is because the ground is most likely to be trapped. As long as the adventurer walks along, it's only natural in a way.

"...that's it,"
"Well, I'm sure," It's a little cleverly hidden, but it's still obvious when you look at it in this way."

　Looking at something like a switch in front of Ray's eyes, Elena nods as well.

"Is there anything else?"
"It doesn't look like it's going to be like this,"
"Then shall we avoid that switch?"
"Well, I wish I could get rid of the trap..."
"It's a bit difficult for us, who are not bandits, to be able to do that."

　Working with Bune the day before, it is possible to discover some of the traps in this hierarchy. However, it could only be discovered, except when it was lifted.
　No, even though she worked with Bune to teach her tips on how to distinguish traps, Ray and Elena were strange in the first place, as they were able to do so in a day. It takes some training time for ordinary thieves to be able to distinguish whether or not there is a trap.
　With that in mind, Ray and Elena's aberration would be obvious.
　However, Seto, whose senses are sharper than Ray and Elena's, is almost instinctive and sometimes finds traps.
　At any rate, the lays head to the right aisle, which is also their goal, so as not to press the switch slightly to the left of the crossroads.

"Cute".
"Gruly!"

　The switch must have been interesting. A yellow warbler tries to fly out of Set's back, but the sensing set stops by making a short warbler.

"...Yero, it's good to be curious, but not now."
"... Cue,"

　Even Elena, his master, says so with a sigh, and he cries regretfully and lies down on Seto's back.
　There seems to be something wrong with her flapping wings and wagging her short tail.
　After 20 minutes, you'll reach the dead end of the map, after going right along the crossroads, even though you're looking at some cozy interaction, you'll find yourself at the end of the road.
　I've reached it, but...

"Rolling".
`...you know, it's a dead-end room in the dungeon, so it's just right for the monster to rest.'

　A set of sharp eyes to the dead-end chamber, accustomed to vigilance. Ray and Elena, too, are still out of sight, but there are some signs of them coming from the small room.

"Yes, but you don't think you're going to miss it, do you? If there's an unusual species, it's a great match for Ray, too.

　Elena takes Ray for granted, but actually he agrees silently by shrugging his shoulders instead of saying anything because he intended to.

"Squeak, squeak?"

　Yero, who had been depressed on Seto's back, must have regained some of his mind through this conversation. He was turning his eyes to Ray and Elena with a little cry.
　After patting him lightly on the head, Ray opens his mouth with a death-size mouth.

"Well, what kind of enemy do you think we have?"
"Well, when you look at it in this way, the room itself looks rather large. Isn't it the Puppet Monster of Golem?"

　It's called a room in the mouth, and it's drawn that way on the map. But it's actually only a dead-end space with no doors or anything, and even the monsters inside can hear Ray and Elena's voices, but there's no sign of anything popping out of it at all the same.
　Since the Mad Puppet or Stone Puppet is a Golem monster, Ray thought that if you feel a person's presence, they should just rush in without any plan.

(Then, not the Puppet, but the Wind Butts? He's got the magic of fire in him... No, I can't.)

　Think of a quick way to annihilate the enemy inside, but dismiss it immediately. It's a monster in the room, but it's not always a monster.
　I don't hear the sound of battle, so if the adventurer is inside, he's likely already dead.

"…is it no use staying still?" Elena, me and Seto are the first to rush into that room. Follow me right behind it. So that I can follow you as soon as something happens."
"All right. I'll protect your height."

　I nodded with determination...but I still had a small smile around my mouth because I realized that I was trusted.
　As there was an incident with Vihela the day before, he seemed to be even more happy about it.
　Unaware of Elena's girlishness, Ray makes up his mind and gently caresses Sett's head... just runs into the room with Sett.
　He must have sensed danger. Yero jumps out of Seto's back to keep him out of the way and silently watches as Elena follows him.

"Kyu".

　I regret that my body is too small to help my beloved husband and friends.





　As soon as I enter the small room, Ray hears a squeal in his ear.

(What?!)Ray was momentarily alarmed by the enemy's attack, but his tinnitus disappears in less than a second.
　The tinnitus bothered me, but there was no further damage, so I looked around in the empty space rather than in the small room...
　It's dark inside, with no walls or limestone shining like the outside.
　But still, in the dark, I feel something approaching, and I mow down my death size.

"Krilling!"

　At that moment, with such a screaming voice, I felt like I had cut something with a death-size blade. Then, within a second, I heard something fall to the ground.

(The cut felt quite light. Then it's not like a papet. and considering the position where he cut it...)

　At the moment, a bat that fought several times in Ray's mind passes by.

"Wind bat! It's coming under cover of darkness!"

　Screaming and feeling something approaching you again, shaking your death size. the same light touch as before
　Needless to confirm it, Ray gives instructions to Seto.

"Setto! King's pressure! Firebrace!"

　give instructions to Seto, wielding his death size When we tried to see what was going on around us while fighting, we could only feel the signs of monsters, windbutts, and because we understood our abilities, it was a quick instruction.

"Gurling!"

　Following Ray's instructions, Seto opens his mouth without hesitation and chirps high. Wind Butts, who were attacking the Reyes at the same time, all of which stopped moving.
　Don't miss the moment, Seto reopens the closed kuchibashi again after using the king's pressure.

　It's roaring!

　The next moment, Seto's braces of flame are exhaled, and by moving his head, he gathers and burns more than a dozen windbutts that were about to crash to the ground under the pressure of the king.
　The firebreath's wind bat burns out instantly, turning bones and even magical stones into ashes and falling to the ground.

(d*mn it! Was it too powerful?)

　Ray slaps his tongue inward at the sight seen by the firebreath-lit lights.
　Nevertheless, he screams to Seto as if he can't help what he has already done.

"Set! Lower the power of the firebrace a little more!"
"Rolling".

　Ray's voice is accompanied by a call from Seto, which reduces the power of the flames emitted by the viper. the degree to which a wind bat is burned to death but not even ashes With that in place, Seto shakes his head as he exhales his firebrace, and several windbutts fall almost to the ground.
　Watching the situation, Ray and Elena also launch the attack without disturbing Sett, who is also carrying out the widespread attack.
　Whether it's Ray or Elena, they have a wide range of tools to attack, such as magic and skills. The reason they're wielding weapons without it is simply that there's not enough room for two and one of them to carry out a wide range of attacks.

"Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

　Fortunately, the connected sword wielded with Elena's voice hits the windbutts in a complicated orbit, whipping by the cast-off magic.
　Many of them have their wings cut down and fall to the ground, or their bodies cut up and down and left and right and blood, flesh and internal organs splashed onto the ground.

"Fly off!"

　Near such an Elena, Ray uses a flying sword, which is also used to cut off several wind bats.
　They didn't intend to carry out a wide range of attacks, but from the perspective of the others, there were definitely a number of methods of attack that seemed to be carrying out a wide range of attacks.
　In addition...

"The Wind's Hand!"

　The windy tentacles stretched out by a death-size stonghold entwine a wind bat and pull it close to it, wielding a blade to halve the body.
　How many minutes would such a battle last? It was more than five minutes, but less than ten minutes. In such a short period of time, the innumerable wind bats in the room had all been stopped from breathing.

"... Whoa. What a success!"
"Surely we've got something done, but... haven't we gone a little too far."
"Is that so?"

　Ray looks around at Elena's words.
　If you look at the ground with eyes already accustomed to darkness, it is true that there are countless windbutts lying there.
　The wind bat, especially roasted by Seto's Firebreath, also gave off a savory scent.

"Grull".

　The smell must have stimulated my appetite. Seto grazes Rey with permission.

"Oh, I got it. However, you should only eat your torso. The main attraction is the material."
"Glu".
"Squeak!"

　They must have come in, judging that the battle was over. Yellow also cries happily at Ray's words as he flies through the air.
　The two of them, who had gone to lunch a little earlier with Seto, looked sideways, and Ray and Elena started collecting ingredients, magical stones, and testimonial sites before they had lunch.
　Because it was roasted whole by firebrace, the smell of it had to attract other monsters.
