Chapter 18 (1/2)
A Steady Advance
On the second floor, grass grew on the floor and ivy twined up the labyrinth walls
The ceiling was brighter than the first floor’s It’s probably for photosynthesis
“There are many monstrous beasts on the second floor The same monsters as the ones on the first floor also appear, but few of the insects”
We continued our steady advance
Using the shortest path, we advanced by breaking walls
Wolfs and tigers attacked, as well as wildlife like bears turned into rew horns that held poison
Splitting up the saroups of two and four defeated them
Ria plucked off the beasts’ limbs as usual while Maal finished them off with a crossbow
It was to raise the lowest leveled person in the party, Maal Serge also recognized it as so-called power leveling
The other four also gradually smoothed out their cooperation
The basis, Carlos would defend the first attacks with his shi+eld while the rear guard keeps theic
While Gig stops their movement with sheer power, Carlos pierces their vitals with his sword and Serge cuts theic blades
Since there were a lot of ain, Maal was skilled at this
Though Serge stored the skins, he still had a lot of room left
“How s in?”
“I could put no less than one hundred things larger than Gig in I’ve tried it before”
Furthere capacity increased steadily
“… If Serge dies, what happens to everything inside?”
“It would probably just stay as it is Though I don’t kno much would be in this labyrinth, it would disappear between space”
He see of ould happen
“In other words, Serge should be protected with the highest priority?”
“Please”
Advancing through the labyrinth passageways, they appeared in a huge room
Huge trees rose up with birds flying between them
“There are so the layers Since there are strong monsters, please be careful”
Maal’s previous party seee rooed it wouldn’t be a problem
“Our sight is limited huh Let’s advance in close formation”
On the floors that don’t have many traps, Ria took the lead The formation was like an arrowhead
“Be careful of surprise attacks Particularly overhead!”
With a shout, she drew her katana
Attacking from a tree, a leopard was cut by Quick Draw Its face was splendidly cut in two
While its fur was being stripped, Ria treated her katana The sword that the Ogre King gave her had cut down many monsters up till now, but still wasn’t nicked It hadn’t become dull either
(This is a good katana~)
Ria wiped down the blade while grinning, looking like a dangerous character in all respects
Before long they arrived at the e threw in the towel
“Sorry, but I’ic is also at its limit”
Just like outside, the light in the labyrinth also lowered somewhat Feels like dusk
“It’s already night outside huh Since this floor won’t darken any further, we don’t need to make camp yet”
Here, Ria opened herunexpected
“Let’s take a bath”
The tall hu time had a cramped smile on his face, while the short human had on a puzzled expression
“… But this area has neither water nor a hot spring here…”
Maal’s reaction was the most honest, but she didn’t comprehend Ria
She scooped out the ground of the labyrinth with earth ic Similarly, she hardened the walls in the saic, she heated it with a fireball
“This is a pseudo open air bath!”
Maal clapped her hands towards the happy Ria
For the tie was thrown into the bath with the other ot a meal ready in the mean time
Maal , eren’t lacking in seasonings, ingredients, and cookware
“Maal is good at cooking”
“Really? I’e”
With Lulu who could only do ood when put into her sto to the two, Maal’s skill was like a mother’s
When the ain and the wo Maal
“But being able to take a bath in a labyrinth, it’s absurd~”
Maal said while being drained of her strength
“Aside from me, everyone was considerably sweaty and dirty If you can keep your body clean, you should not neglect it”
After this, Ria intended to h for herself, she practically didn’t sweat nor have blood on her at all
Her previous life was as a japanese, and was brought up in a somewhat luxurious life in the royal capital She si baths
“Oi, no peeking! You guys!”
Though there was no possibility that they would do that, Ria said it like a beauty would
“Ah~ nevertheless, Lulu’s breasts are pretty big huh~”
“Wait, they’ll hear!”
“Isn’t that fine? These breasts are in a good doh it’s often said that elfs have small breasts, halfs are different after all~”
“Please don’t rub the that… wai-!”
Only able to hear the voices, the men slouched forward
As for the person on guard duty, Ria served willingly The Sleep Reduction Gift was convenient
Standing guard alone with a big grin, she secretly polished her katana
