Episode 46.4 (1/2)
On the third day.
The group began their expedition on floor 61.
Lecan was worried about Ui.
From floor 51 onward, Ui had obviously been taking much longer in the shaft. She would suffer many injuries and look exhausted too. Eda cast
on her which relieved her wounds and fatigue, but starting from floor 61, each shaft will have five enemies at most.
Dealing with multiple opponents alone is not easy. She'd have got it much easier had she been able to fight at high speed like Lecan and Arios, but that style of combat is out of question to her since she's wearing metal armor. The longer it takes to finish a battle, the more she gets hit and consumes stamina. Ui should not have experience diving in a dungeon alone to begin with. She must always be in a group of powerful mages.
Jiza still hasn't revealed the so-called <Artificial Wrinkle Man>. At first Lecan thought of asking Jiza to make that thing go with Ui into a shaft, but stopped short. Doing that would hurt Ui's pride. And besides, if Jiza deemed it's not the time yet, then that's that.
Still, Jiza is quite incredible. From floor 1 to this point, her shaft clear time barely fluctuate. It was as if she was on auto-pilot, eliminating everything that stood in her ways as she walked. Her walking speed is awfully slow though.
”Ui. Drink these.”
”Hm? What would those pills be?”
”Stamina Restorative and Mana Restorative.”
”I already have five pills of Mana Restorative Obaba-sama gave me. But, what is Stamina Restorative?”
”Let me have a look.”
Jiza grabbed the two pills Lecan was handing to Ui and stared at them.
”<Analysis>.”
She even used magic to inspect them. She first cast <Analysis> on Mana Restorative then onto Stamina Restorative.
”Hmmm. These are quite something. This Mana Restorative bears a lot of resemblance to Panta's made ones, but this one is of a much higher level.”
”Eeeeh?”
Ui opened her eyes wide in shock. Panta should be a pupil of Herb Saint who's staying in this town.
”The efficacy this Stamina Restorative possesses is also outstanding. And I think it lasts quite long as well. Lecan-chan. Where in the world did you get your hands on these pills?”
”I made both myself.”
”Are you speaking the truth?”
”Yeah.”
”Hmmm. I was sure these were hand made by Herb Saint-dono himself, so they are not.”
”Skalabel can make these stuff too. Now that you mention it, that pupil of Skalabel did say that the ways to make these restoratives are considered secret arts.”
”Ho? How do you know that?”
”Skalabel's pupil, that something guy said so.”
”It's Priest Amamir-sama, Lecan.”
”Yeah, that guy.”

”Hmhmm.”
Jiza fell into thought. Then she muttered alone.
”During Herb Saint-dono's visitation to town of Vouka, he received Eda-chan's
