Spreads before you are the greenery of the greenery of the greenery.
 The fresh smell of green breathes a great breath into all of the Ray's party.

"Oh, I can't believe the fresh air is so wonderful..."
"Well, that's the difference between heaven and earth compared to the rotten smell of the undead."

 As usual, Elena says so with a smile around her mouth, and Ray next to her agrees.

"Glu, Glu, Glu, Glu, Glu, Glu, Glu, Glu!"
"Squeak!"

 Next to them, Seto and Yero were equally breathing fresh forest air.
 The 17th basement is filled with fresh air, unlike the 16th basement, which was also an undead den.
 Unlike the earth, the heat is not so severe, and it is safe to say that the wind blowing while shaking the leaves of trees is refreshing.
 The countless trees at the end of the line of sight give the viewer the impression that they are healing.

(I think it's because I'm down from the undead hierarchy that I feel even more. ...it was a good thing that the magic team didn't transfer immediately.)

 "While looking at the forest just outside the small room, which stands in the forest, I felt safe, and breathed in deeply as if to overwrite the bad smell that still exists in the back of my nose..."

"Gul-l-r-r-r-r-r-r!"

 At a moment, Seto gives a cry of alarm.
 The moment Ray and Elena hear the cry, they quickly lay down their weapons and look around them.
 a small roomy space nestled in the woods There are countless trees all around, and the lays were healed by the sight a moment ago, but Seto is wary... that is, when there are monsters around, the trees around turn into objects for the enemy to hide instead of healing.

"... Ray,"
"Oh, I don't think I have to stay in the dungeon any longer today. and the materials in the undead hierarchy... oh, no, I see."

 mutter to that extent and mutter as if one was satisfied.
 We understood why we were so quickly sniffed out by monsters on the 17th basement.
 Yes, he had been in action for nearly half a day in that intensely odorous undead hierarchy. It's no wonder that the smell is ingrained all over my body.
 Or even if you can't smell it, it's a clear mark for monsters hiding in the woods.
 ...so that I could easily grasp the lays breathing in the air in the forest air.

"When I go back to the inn, there is a magic item for deodorization..."

 Ray's words also make Elena nod.
 Even Elena is used to this sort of thing as long as she is a soldier. However, it is not acceptable for a girl to think that her body stinks of someone she loves.
 "Also, the reason why there are deodorizing magic items in the inn is that there are several classes that emit strong odors like the undead class where the laymen were there until just a while ago."
 Other than that, many materials are available from within the dungeon due to its location as a labyrinth city, but there are many ways to use them, such as pretreatment to use them, or to use them as materials for alchemy or weapons, so deodorizing magic items are not so unusual.

"Well, I'd rather stay here a little longer, but I'd rather call in monsters because of the smell of undead."

 Elena tells me if she's noticed the same thing as Ray.

"Grullllllwow.

 Next to Ray and Elena, Seto looked sharply at the forest.
 The suggestive glance is certainly surprising to those who see the usual lovely state of Seto.
 For Seto, who has five senses sharper than the average human being, he must have endured the smell of undead.

(The day before yesterday, I was fighting only the living armour, the skeleton, the unusual skeleton, and so on, with little smell, so I guess I could still bear it...but today I was in that zombie flock.)

 Ray whispered inwardly, but stroked his head, and returned to the chamber with Elena and Yero, where he was led out of the dungeon by a group of wizards.





 The moment the Reys appeared outside the dungeon. I see someone suddenly thrusting at me, and I take my death-size out of my mistling and hold it up.
 But the other person behind him grabbed him by the shoulder and stopped his movement forcefully.
 The adventurers around him look at the scene and say, "Is it a disturbance?" but especially when they find out that it doesn't cause any more disturbance, the scent left by the rays frowns slightly, or understands what kind of place they have reached, and looks away from them thinking that it doesn't matter.
 Basically, many people don't care about the smell because they're adventurers in dungeons.

"...I'm sorry, I surprised you."

 The man who stopped the man who was about to charge at the Rays exclaims, wiping his sweat in an involuntary manner.
 When Ray hears the voice and looks at his face, he realizes who the person is.
 I'm Nact, one of the people who helped me out of a freak skeleton in the dungeon the day before yesterday and worked with me on stripping the material.
 Now that there was a nact, I turned my gaze to the other person, wondering if it might be true, and there was, as I expected, Esetus' face.

"What are you, my dear fellow?" Don't jump at me all of a sudden. I almost attacked him without thinking."

 With a sigh, Ray puts his death size in a mistling, and Elena, holding the handle of a connecting sword next to it, gently releases her hand.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I've been waiting to hear from Ray as soon as possible, but he finally showed up there, so I just..."

 While apologizing, what comes to mind is more impatience than apology. He had the impression that he could not have been more desperate.
 Even Ray must have understood that it was an extraordinary event. Look around and open your mouth for a momentarily.

"And is it okay for me to ask people here about my business? If you want me to ask you here, or if you want me to keep it secret, somewhere..."
"No, I don't want people to ask me that much.

 She nods to Nact, who immediately returns her words, and Elena stops when she tries to tell her to head to a nearby restaurant.

"Ray, under our current circumstances, if you go into a shop somewhere, it'll be a nuisance."
"...that's what it was,"

 When Elena tells her about the scent left on her body, she immediately nods as if she understands.
 I understood that I couldn't go somewhere in a restaurant wearing a scent of rotten smell.

"I'm sorry, but will you come to our inn?"
"I think it's better,"
"Nakto! You don't have time to spare!"

 When Nact says so, Esetus shakes his head silently and puts his hand on Esetus' shoulder to calm him down.

"You're the one to calm down. You know there's nothing you can do if you make a fuss here now, but now you should ask Ray for help as smoothly as possible."
"... All right,"

 With Esetus, who was reluctant but convinced, the Rays went straight to the inn without stopping by as usual.





 After returning to the Golden Futei where the Reys were staying and using deodorizing magic items to clean out the scent residue, they gathered in Rey's room.
 Ray's room is now occupied by four people: Ray, Elena, Esetus and Nacto. Seto and Yero are in the stable.

"...and what's the matter?"

 It should be said that it is an inn where aristocrats and merchants stay. Ray asks over some cold, cold, fruit-squeezing water that he immediately asked the inn.
 When Esetus tried to say something to the word, Nacto, who judged that Esetus was too angry to speak properly, spoke before Esetus.

"Actually... Ray's request ended successfully last night, and someone attacked me after we all had a launch."

 Nacht's words respond to them and ask for confirmation.

"...not for the money, is it?"
"Oh, yes, we successfully completed Ray's request, but we helped him with this request free of charge in return for his escort at the dungeon."
"Is there any line that says, without knowing it, that they attacked me thinking that I was being asked to do so?"

 Elena asks after a sip of cold, chilled fruit water, the same as Ray is drinking.
 But Nacto shakes his head to answer the question, and Esetus opens his mouth as if he could not stand it.

"We know our names in their own way, if not as much as you do." And some adventurers at Ray's request said they had just gotten out of the game. If you're looking for money, you're usually looking for it!?""It must be for money." Is it a grudge?"

 Ray asks, looking at Esetus.
 Although he has only known each other recently, Esetus still has a short temper in Ray's eyes. That being the case, it is safe to bear a grudge anywhere.
 But Nact shakes his head at the question.

"I certainly thought of the possibility. But if I remember the time of the attack, I'm sure I was aiming at some sort of thing -- or, to be exact, at Tivia herself."
"Tea beer?"
"Oh, ... and in fact they took Tivia away after she had fainted. The guys who attacked me were pretty good, and Esetus and I did our best to protect ourselves because it was a surprise attack. Nevertheless, we haven't had such a serious injury yet. But Goth --"

 The name reminds Ray of a good-natured porter.
 Given that two well-known party warriors and bandits were all on the defensive, it's not that hard to imagine what happened to Goth, a porter.
 Are you dead or, luckily, seriously injured?
 However, in this world there is something called recovery magic. Even if you have one arm amputated from your shoulder, you can walk outside normally the next day.
 Ray puts a ray of hope there and asks Nact.

"He's dead?"
"No, I'm alive for the time being," It's just that... my right arm and right leg were amputated under the cover of Tivia. I don't think I can live as an adventurer anymore."
"...I see,"

 I was relieved that Nact told me he wasn't dead, but the severity of the injury was obvious.

"Anyway, I see that you've been attacked. So why were you looking for us?"

 Take a small breath and ask about Goth.

"You have a connection with the Silwa family, don't you? This case... Can you ask them to look into it?"
"I don't mean to say this, but as long as I'm an adventurer, I don't think anyone can bear a grudge against me. But do you want me to cry at Bosque, not you?"

 It's safe to say that Ray likes Tivia, who has been kidnapped, and Goth, who has been seriously injured. But if you still ask if you'd like to borrow a hand from a bosque yourself, it's a difficult thing to do.
 In the first place, the Silwa family now devotes almost all of its energy to unusual matters. It was a welcome thing for Ray, too.

"Then all you have to do is introduce me to Mr. Bosque." Please!"

 Esetus bowed deeply to Ray, who seemed reluctant.
 Watching it, Ray looks at Elena after a few seconds of hesitation.

"I don't think it's a problem to introduce them, but I don't think we should be involved in the interactions that result in them being helped. We'd better get involved in this matter as outsiders. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

 Elena also nods in favor of Esetus's words as a compromise.
 They also want the Silwa family to cooperate fully, as it should have been. But I knew it would be very troublesome if I could reach out to the Silwa family and spread it.
 Not a few of them will use themselves to poke their nose into the Silwa family, which may have a decisive negative effect on Egzil, who has already been shaken by the Levisor family and the unusual species. It was such a thoughtful compromise.  

"Oh, yes! I'm saved." Thank you!"

 It's still early in the afternoon, so the party will soon be headed straight to the Silwa family.
