Episode 31.2 (1/2)
Pale blue lights emitting out of rocks on floor 100 dimly shined on five people.
<Life Detection> shows only these five. Nobody else is on this floor right now.
”Let's do this.”
Lecan led the way with the four following after him. You won't encounter magic beasts in this dungeon's passages. Hence, all of them was relaxed.
No, all except Lecan.
He kept his guard up even while walking nonchalantly. Wolves are a watchful creature.
On floor 100, there's a passage in the middle with a room on each side. That continues for four passages until a room at the end. This farthest room is where the stairway is located, confirmed through intel and <Graph Make>.
Then, encircling the nine rooms is a corridor.
Both the main passages and the corridor are slightly curved, thus you cannot see the stairway room even if you stand in the center.
Lecan headed right from the floor's entrance, and stopped in front of a room to the right.
”This must be an entrance.”
”So this is.”
”Ooh.”
”Hee.”
A huge part of the blue light emitting rocks is hollow, it's covered in a whitish fog that also emits a pale light. Like a cloud lit under the moonlight.
”I'd like to check some things first. Bear with me for a bit.”
After saying that, Lecan walked through the corridor without hesitation. He got to the right end, then turned left before immediately turning left again.
Everywhere in the the corridor is fully lit in soft lights.
”Here it is.”
”Lecan-dono. This is?”
”The exit of the room earlier.”
There's another cavity covered in fog just like the entrance part. However, the fog is dull ashen colored.
Lecan tried to go through it. But he couldn't.
”I see. Looks like you really can't get in through the exit then.”
”Wait, were you doubting that.”
”Why didn't you just go in the entrance?”
”Didja think you could get in through the exit, Lecan.”
”I'm trying to get a grasp on floor 100s' structures. I'm getting there.”

”Hou?”
”Let's get to fighting now. Don't even need to go back to this room's entrance. We got another for the next room right behind us.”
Turning around, there really is an entrance to another room. The second room to the right from the center of the floor.
”Alright. We're entering the inner passage. Yoana take this.”
”Eh? You're giving me another today?”
Lecan handed over a Mana Restorative to Yoana.
Up until now, he would hand one after their first battle of the day ended, during the recess before the second battle.
But they're fighting on floor 100 today.
Lecan judged that letting her take it before their first fight would be best.
Her first time taking the restorative seems to have left a very strong impression on her, Yoana keenly believes in the medicine's effects almost to the point of blind faith.
Yoana took the pill, chewed on it and let the powder circulate in her mouth. Lecan told her that doing so would make the effect manifest quicker.
Lecan got in the inner passage.
Inner passages are passages that connect floor's corridors to the rooms where the magic beasts spawn.
Once all five got in the passage, Lecan tried to get back out, but a white fog-like thing pushed him back in. This too goes just like he's heard. These inner passages are a one-way street.
”Oh.”
