Chapter 51 (2/2)

「When I checked about two hundred years ago, it had 20 layers. Since then, I don’t know if it’s expanded again or not.」

「Where is Dina?」

「… I’m sure she’s on the tenth layer.」

「Then I'll do something real quick.」

To increase their pace by reducing the amount of time they need to stop, Souta releases his magic power mixed with intimidation to reduce the number of monsters they need to encounter on the way.

「Wow, that is awesome magic power, in this case weak monsters won’t approach.」

「I’m going to run, follow me.」

As Souta said, he starts to run with Izayoi in his right hand.

In a closed s.p.a.ce like a cave, it’s easy to read the flow of the wind. Using wind magic, Souta knows the rough layout of the cave.

That’s why, without any hesitation on his feet, Souta runs to the stairs to the lower layer in straight line.

Along the way, they can see monsters that too late to escape, such monsters along with the monsters that attacking them all get cut down by Izayoi.

「To such a degree … I don’t think my turn will come.」

Narasu showing a wry smile.

「Did you say something?」

Asks Souta without stopping his hands and feet or his speed falling at all.

Second floor, third floor, fourth floor….. they keep going without any hards.h.i.+p whatsoever.

Some powerful monsters appear on the way, but they are also not on the level where they can match Narasu or Souta at all.

Some also endured Souta’s blow, but end up killed by the next blow from Narasu.

In the meantime the two of them advance without saying a word.

Souta doesn’t feel like striking up idle conversation while going to his destination, Narasu on the other hand is desperately trying to not fall behind from Souta with his astounding speed.

Reaching the stairs to the tenth floor, Souta stops.

「To be able to keep up, as expected of former A-rank adventurer.」

「Hahh hahh, it’s… just barely.」

Narasu is only able to say that much before continuing to try to catching her breath.

「Fuhh~, Never did I imagine we will run through everything at once without a break.」

「It’s just a straight line on each floor, so I thought it wouldn't take that long, right?」

Narasu slumps her shoulder hearing Souta’s answer.

「Hahhh, well that’s right, but … I understand well how out of the standard Souta-dono is now.」

「According to you, Dina is on the next floor … I can feel strong magic power even from here.」

「Yes, it’s uncomparable to the enemies so far.」

Souta puts down a pair of furs in front of the stairs and sit down there.

「For now, let’s take a break before we continue.」

Souta pours the tea into a cup and then offers it to Narasu who sits down across of him.

「You should be tired, I put some Iyas.h.i.+ Tree leaves in this tea.」

「!?」

Knowing the price of the Iyas.h.i.+ Tree leaves, Narasu almost spurts out the tea in her mouth, but realizing it would be a waste, she quickly swallows it instead.

「Once upon a time, I met a person who had a large amount if this. I never thought it would become such valuable thing.」

Iyas.h.i.+ Tree leaf is used as a material for various medicines, and by itself it has great effect for recovering fatigue.

「Tha-That’s right, I’m just a bit surprised because recently the circulation in the country is also small.」

Narasu wipes her mouth and think about the rarity of the drink she has on her hands.

「After you finish drinking it, Dina rescue operation will start.」

Souta’s gaze is directed downstairs…….
