308-280 Challenge the boss of 20 layers (3) (1/2)
”Well... The next step is to get the reward you've been waiting for: your first kill!
After finishing the job, Yuki clapped her hands happily.
Mary and Mitya looked at Yuki curiously.
”The reward for the first kill?
”Yes. When you defeat the boss, you'll get a treasure chest. ...... No, you can go to the room where the treasure chest is. There, right there.
It's a new experience for us, and a new experience for Mary and the others.
We walked into the room with the girls, who looked like they didn't understand what was going on.
It's a treasure chest!
It's really here: ......
As usual, there was a treasure chest in the room.
But what we found was a treasure chest with a slightly different shape than usual.
It was like a long chest.
It was about the same length, but slightly smaller in overall size.
And the same as always: a transition zone and stairs leading down.
There are no traps in ....... Mary, Mitya, do you want to open it?
Are you sure?
I want to open it!
I don't care. I can't just give you the ...... contents, though.
Of course not! Well, then. ......
What is it? What is it?
In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at the web site and find out more about it.
The two sisters looked at each other, timed the opening of the lid, and peered inside at the same time.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.
It's a little plain .......
You can find a lot of different types of tents in the market.
Were they expecting to find gold and silver treasure?
I'd like to see a treasure chest overflowing with gold coins, but unfortunately we've never seen anything like that.
”At first glance, it looks like a normal tent.
With a wry smile on his face, Toya walked over and pulled out a tent from the treasure chest.
It's a big tent, maybe for four or five people.
It is a large tent, but the structure itself is normal - a normal tent in this world.
It doesn't seem to have any features that allow for instant deployment or compact storage.
For those of us who are familiar with modern, highly functional tents, this is a rather disappointing item, but based on the pattern of the past, there is a high possibility that it is some sort of magical tool.
Maybe it's a magic tool, right?
”Probably, yes. But I'm not sure I want to use it right away, so let's put it away for now.
Well. Even if it's a good effect, it's not necessarily a good effect in that situation, so you have to be careful.
”Hmm ......? What is it?
When Yuki asked if she didn't understand Natsuki's words, Natsuki thought about it for a moment and then gave an example.
Well, how about ...... 'a tent that lets you sleep very well'? It might be a good effect to get a good night's sleep, but what if you're camping and plan to stay up all night for safety reasons?
That's a problem. I see, there is that possibility.
Yuki nodded her head, and Toya and the beastman sisters nodded their heads as well.
I'm not going to use it until I've evaluated it.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to have to.
I'm not sure what to do.
”Oh. Okay, let's go down.
After confirming that we all nodded, Toya led the way down the stairs as usual.
He walked down the stairs in silence, ...... and eventually stopped.
In the middle of the stairs.
”......, aren't these stairs too long?
”Oh, you think? I've been thinking that too.
”At least it's longer than the stairs to the 20th level.
Haruka nodded in agreement with Yuki's slightly relieved response.
The staircase is quite dark and narrow, so I think it feels longer, but it is still too long.
After the tenth layer, the stairs have been longer since the natural environment with high ceilings, but this time they are still too long.
In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at a few of these.
...... It was more than three times as long as usual, maybe even four times as long.
I had been going down the stairs for quite some time when I heard a faint sound coming from up ahead.
”Toya, what's that noise?
