Chapter 3 (1/2)
When ‘He’ finished exploring the second floor, he decided to go down to the next floor ‘He’ went down the stairs with the large lizard, and then ot hunted
Luckily he was able to possess an earwig that passed close by, after the party had left Afterwards, ‘He’ went down to the third underground floor
[The atmosphere is pretty different from the first and second floors]
The walls and floor didn’t seem to be touched by human hands at all, and seemed more cave like, with bare rocks at the surface, only the area around the stairs looked as if it was created by humans
Further It’s not as if the presence felt concentrated, it gives the i existence
[Is this the thing called collective consciousness?]
After looking around and confir there were no monsters or hu on the wall
Fundas that you explore with parties, since it’s said to be dangerous if you’re on your own It can’t be said that all the dungeons have the saeon in the town of Barass is able to be explored safely on your own, until the second floor only Since from the third floor onward, most monsters are controlled by the ´collective consciousness´
“Phee’re finally back”
“Yeah, as expected, the outside air is nice”
An adventurer’s party of about a dozen adventurers had returned to town after they had gone to the third floor, which was said to be dangerous for people who go alone They were an exploring team of adventurers ere hired by the adventurer’s society with the objective of raising activity in the dungeon, because of their plan: ‘Base Construction Project’
A plan to build a base for adventurers underground In order to find a place where they could put up a barrier, without being influenced by the dungeon, they were the ones who had to survey the vicinity
After they had all safely returned and reported to the adventurer’s society, they went back to the town that was close by The leader of the adventurer’s party, as eating with his subordinates at the bar, heard the current rumor about ‘the monster that’ll save adventurers’
“Now that I think about it, we heard it before we left didn’t we, so it was still going on”
“It seeroups at the center, well, isn’t it just so direction?”
TL note: It’s a rhetorical question, he’s not expecting an answer -Tensaiz
The rus, and also large bats
“Hround, y’know”
TL note: The leader is talking with an accent -Tensaiz
The veteran leader adventurer was raging about hoas alright that the toas lively with adventurers, but because of a weird rueon for fun and copy what others do, but they have just become an annoyance to other adventurers
Since the first floor of the dungeon had lights installed, people without even the knowledge and e, they also take the prey other adventurers took dohich was a clear violation of the rules
When he had beco, someone spoke up to him
“So you were back, Gashe”
“Huys are always together, aren’t you”
Captain Gashe opened two seats next to the female swordsman and healer who seemed to have just returned from their job The healer Richello was in a close relationshi+p with the former female swordsman, Elmel, in their days at the Adventurer’s School Captain Gashe himself made a party of three with the jobs
“Does it seeht?”
“Well, it can be said it’s going alright, around the day after to in a specialist and soround”
“Hmmm, seems like the captain role fits you well, doesn’t it?”
“Stop it, I know already, that it was by my own ability”
The three began to chat with each other ‘Now that I think about it—–’, when Gashe thought of a ruht up the subject about soot arrested When he did, the tho’re instructors at the school, looked at each other, and with a wry smile told him that it was about them
“Seriously, leaving Richello aside, they really didn’t care about their life if they tried to fight with Elmel”
“How cruel, to leave me aside”
“Fufu, it’s because Richello is naive”
While telling about the tough situation with her severe wound, Richello told hie lizard that protected hi down his sword, and that it also gave hiic water Ainto a pack of demon hounds
TL note: Changed ‘dog’ to ‘hound’, because it sounds better~ -Tensaiz
“Eh, are you serious about that? The rumor about a monster that allies itself with adventurers was real?”
“Yeah, itthat’s hard to believe, but I’ll testify, since I was there myself”
“Anyway, it was a mysterious monster”
After hearing about its features Gashe suddenly thinks back about the large lizard that heto the second floor
“No way, it couldn’t have been that giant lizard right…”
From the third floor onward, the monsters are controlled by the collective conscious and will attack huht If you were tofirst, which was the iron law Having learned that, he also went in to kill the large lizard in one hit, but he wondered why it didn’t try to attack at all Because they were on the stairs and it was shi+fted, he thought it was because it couldn’t e body that well in such a place however—–
“Could it be, you’ve also met it?”
