Episode 28.13 (2/2)

”For sure.”

”So you do get it.”

”However, taking a half-baked break will get you in a slump. Now that we've got our coordination right, we should push ahead till a good point to pause.”

”Lecan-dono. Where is this good point at?”

”Floor 100.”

The dining room fell dead silent.

”Floor, 100?”

”Yeah. Heard the really good Grace Gear are dropped from floor 100 onward.”

”It's impossible. Do you have any idea what kind of place is floor 100?”

”No, no clue. What kind?”

”Us local adventurers call floors 100 down <The Other Side>.”

”Hou.”

”Floors 100 down are like a wholly different plane than floor 1-99.”

”That it is.”

”Fumu. Then we'll get to floor 99 first. We'll think about our future plan then. How's that sound.”

”I am fine with that. But, can we please rest tomorrow?”

”Yesterday was a rest day. Resting after every single day is too much. Tomorrow we dive in. But if you guys don't want to, that's alright.”

”That's...”

The three <Grindam> members fell silent.

(Tch.)

(Yer' pretty much telling 'em ya can go on without 'em.)

(Go join other party if ya don't wanna.)

(But to <Grindam>, this is their chance to break more floors.)

(Prolly don't wanna to split up with <Willard> still.)

Nark was going to cover <Grindam> but stopped short. This is not something an outsider should butt in. The decision should be made by the parties concerned.

”Lecan-dono. Now that we finally work nicely together, we'll go in with you tomorrow. But can you let us take a break the day after tomorrow, you two can go around floor 90s on your own then.”

(Go around?!)

(Going around on floor 90s?!)

(And did he say the two of 'em?)

This was when Nark was truly convinced these two are well beyond his common sense to comprehend.

At any rate, the five of them dived in the following day and got down to floor 97.

The day after that was an off day, then they got to floor 98 the next day after and floor 99 the day after that one, after which they took a three day break.
