Episode 39.4 (1/2)
For some reason General Dungeon Administration Chief, Eliza Notz, has been making frequent visits as of late.
The townlord and her father visited <Rafin's Rock Terrace Inn> on the 26th of month four, then 10 days later on afternoon of the 36th, she went in the inn without a companion after a notice. No, she's with a companion, but they're made to wait outside the inn while she goes inside by herself.
”Hi, Lecan-dono.”
That day was a break day, Lecan was sipping on fermented liquor.
Arios stood up and pulled a chair for Eliza.
”Thank you, Arios-dono.”
”Don't mention it.”
”Lecan-dono, you're a <Descender> who comes from the same world as Zol-jii, right.”
”Yea.”
He talked about it ten days ago already. Eliza should be aware of that. Yet, she'd go out of her way to come and ask again in person, just what is she planning.
”Lecan-dono.”
”Hm?”
”I want to know more about the world Zol-jii came from. Would you tell me about it.”
”About our old world? What do you wanna know.”
”Anything. Like say, were there dungeons in that world?”
”Yea.”
This question hit the right note with Lecan. He wouldn't have replied back had she asked about any other matters. But not when it comes to dungeons. Lecan spoke of dungeon conquests profound in his memory while explaining the differences between this world's and that world's dungeons.
”You're incredible, Lecan-dono. I can't believe how many dungeons you conquered. But the dungeons in that world sure drop a lot of Golden Potions.”
”It's not Golden Potions. Defeating Floor Masters or Dungeon Bosses will make your body learn specific skills.”
”So, it's like defeating this particular enemy gets you this particular skill.”
”That's right. But there are also magic beasts that get you advanced versions of the skills if you're lucky.”
The three <Grindam> members came back before long.
”Lecan.”

”Why're you whispering.”
”That knight standing outside's gonna hinder Nark's business.”
”Ah, that's true. Chief Administrator-dono.”
”Please call me Eliza if you would.”
”The knight outside is in the way. Let him in.”
”That's my bad.”
”Eliza. By the way, what makes you come today?”
”I just wanted to hear about Zol-jii from you.”
”Hmm? It's night already. Go home now.”
”Oh, now that you mention it, it's dinnertime. This inn's vegetables were really tasty the last time. That's it. I shall have dinner here today. Arios-dono. Where would the owner be.”
”I'm calling him now. Nark-san.”
