Episode 28.11 (2/2)
(Is this their goal?)
(Was cooperative diving with <Grindam> their goal all along?)
(S'that why they stayed here?)
(But then what're they planning on doing to <Grindam>?)
(Rather, they can't do cooperative diving if they don't reach floor 92 for real.)
(Which means they're on floor 90 for real right now?)
It's everybody for themselves in dungeons. A cooperative diving between two parties mean that the responsibility falls equally between every members of both parties. Since Nark isn't a mediator for the cooperative diving, there's no need for him to fuss over it. And yet he just can't overlook it when he considers the possibility of bad things befalling <Grindam>.
(I should at least leave some words to <Grindam>.)
Thus Nark decided in his head.
The dine-in customers eventually went home, and the five went back to their rooms.
The next morning, both <Willard> members went out early.
Bruska came down afterward.
Nark spoke to Bruska when he brought him breakfast.
”Those <Willard> peeps arrived at this town on the eighth this month.”
”Eighth this month? Ah, you mean that was when they booked rooms here.”
”No, I mean they started exploring Dungeon Tsubolt on the ninth this month.”
”Hee. Really now.”
”Don't ya give me that. They can't have blown through all 90 floors that quick.”
”Ahahahaha. No of course not.”
”Ain't it.”
”They must have dived in this dungeon before that.”
That's not how it looked like.
Considering the conversation that night, Lecan and Arios had never explored this dungeon before then. But how do Nark go about explaining that.
”That Lecan guy is not your ordinary man.”
”Well yeah, figured.”
”Arios is also quite something himself.”
”Yea.”
”Have you ever caught him standing still in the yard in the morning?”
”I have.”
”It's really amazing. I can tell. That guy is not some run-of-the-mill master of the craft.”
”Well yea that might be true, but there ain't no way they got through 90 floors in 18 days.”
”Of course that's not possible. So they must have visited this town many times before.”
After getting told that, Nark who's a poor talker couldn't find a word to reply back.
”What are you worried about, Nark-san. It'll be fine. We've got three people, they've got two. We can simply cancel the cooperative diving if it looks like things aren't going well together. Besides, those two are no villains.”
”Yeah I don't think they're bad people either.”
At any rate, he said his part. He can only watch over what's going down next.
Then <Grindam> also went out.
That day, <Willard> didn't return, then evening the next day, they got back quite early.
