V3C61 (2/2)

That’s amazing.

Certainly, sound reverberates to a degree so it would be easier for musicians and opera singers to sing.

In addition, it would be convenient for private conversations.

Due to the nature of my job — it’s kind of a misleading expression in various ways but — I have a lot of secrets that would be troubling if other people find out so it seems to be a handy magic for me.

“Then, it’s about time we aim to escape huh — ”

Since I couldn’t acquire Space Magic, we would have to physically walk down.

Though, it is better compared to previously when we had to climb up stairs. Descending is easier after all.

When I thought so,

“Ichino-sama, this labyrinth apparently has a slight secret that other labyrinths don’t have. Please come this way.”

Carol said that and led me to behind the Goddess statue.

Koshmar-sama’s statue was too large so the back of the Goddess statue could not be seen but there was an opened door there with a small room behind it and another door at the back of that room.

The 3 of us entered the small room and we closed the door that we came in from.

“The escape hatch has been prepared here.”

“Escape hatch?”

“Yes, it would be the exit after that door. Yesterday, I heard of it from the people from the caravan but it seems like it really is true.”

Then, I opened the back door.

Light shined through.

It was already the outside there.

Also, there —

“We’ve climbed up to such a place huh?”

It was the mountain peak.

Below, Gomaki Village was visible.

“It’s a great view.”

Maybe because the air was clear, we could see far off into the distance.

“Master, I can see Sadness River.”

Haru said with a refreshing expression.

Looking at the location she mentioned, I saw a river quite a distance away.

The width of the river was considerably wide so we could clearly see it even from here.

“It’s the river that forms the national boundaries for the 3 countries Dakyat, Korat, and Arundel. Beyond that river would be Dakyat.”

Mountains to the west, forests to the east, the 2 locations became water sources and merged at the intersection of the 3 country borders, forming a single river.

We felt like continuing to view the scenery so we decided to have our lunch there.

Then, after resting for a while, we descended down the mountain.

As if we were out hiking.

Within the labyrinth it only felt like we were advancing, it didn’t have the feeling of climbing up a mountain but only when descending down the mountain could I feel like we were hiking. Even though I did properly climb up with my own 2 feet.

Haru said that she wanted to tend to the horse and headed to the stable, Carol headed for the only shop in the village to gather information.

Around that time, I was free so I worked to convert the iron ores into iron balls alone in the room.

With the skill up of the Alchemy skill to Alchemy II, my work efficiency changed drastically.

Surprisingly, I could convert it into iron balls in just a minute.

Furthermore, I somewhat felt like the iron purity was higher compared to before.

【Ichinojo Leveled up]

Alchemist and Apprentice Alchemist levels were also leveling up smoothly.

However, even though the efficiency increased, the MP expenditure didn’t change so the MP consumption was intense.

Well, later I would only be sleeping so I’ll use it until the limit.

Or so I thought but — a feeling of exhaustion huh.

My mind was in a daze.

Looking at my status, my MP had decreased until 12 remained.

Yup, it seems like I can make slightly more.

Since I did not work my brain sufficiently, I ordered the creation of the next iron ball.

Then — I lost consciousness.

(TL: That cliffhanger though … don’t worry, next chapter should be out tomorrow if everything goes well)
