Vol 8 Chapter 123 (2/2)
Miranda spoke
“Wouldn’t it be best we checked the state of the second level?”
I shook my head
“We would probably fare fine, but I don’t want to push it And I get the feeling all the parties today ca”
By the map in my head, a majority of the other parties didn’t try to push themselves, and turned back as soon as they found the stairs down
A lot of the for treasure as ere momentarily
And as planned, we entered the large room the treasure chest was supposed to be in

When we returned from the Labyrinth, the sky was still blue
I stretched as I walked out, and my skin informed me that the inside of it had been much colder than the outside air
“Now then, about how s for the day?”
When I looked into Mini-Porter, I found it stuffed quite full
It was definitely
But…
“We defeated quite a nue will be full by the time we reach the second floor Even if we avoid battle as much as possible, by the fourth or fifth… it’s at the point I’d like another Porter unit or two”
As Clara expressed that opinion, Aria agreed
“You’re quite right I’d like to reduce the load on hand, but if it’s going to be that loaded, on’t be able to put any spare equipment on it”
Miranda
“Can’t we just hang things on the side? It’s not like it’s got a usable shi+eld there like Porter does or anything”
I
“So there are still spots for i everything back to the tent… huh?”
Near the Labyrinth’s entrance, a guild e a tent
But for sos
Thinking I may be tired, I rubbed my eyes a few times, but that did not seem to help
Looking around, the place was much more developed than it had been yesterday
“What’s this…”
Aria was just as surprised as me
Clara
“As expected of the Adventurers of Beim They’re quite skillful atwhat they meant when they said a toould be formed”
Miranda alone sounded like she was having fun
“Hht it would come this far And is it just me, or has the population multiplied?”
In the Jewel, the Third spoke quietly
『It’s just like the Magician’s Village… wait, huh? Wasn’t that a cautionary tale of what not to do?』
It’s nice and all to be lively, but I tiltedto all this
We headed to the buildingour loot to the assembled merchants and personnel
They didn’t ic Stones to other ic Stones to the guild
Not many adventurers had returned yet, so I was able to sell them immediately
“Good work Well them, I will proceed to confirm the Stones”
Saying that, the receptionist looked over the Magic Stones, and began to ht I asked
“This is quite- how should I put this… do they really plan to start up a nen here?”
She looked at my face
“Oh, is this your first participation? And wait, rather than plan, they’re already in the process isto use it as a town, but we’re thinking it will be fine as long as it can be usable in a foreseeable future”
As I pondered over the matter, she displayed the sum for the Stones
I nodded, accepted the one to sell the materials
Around the area, a number of different merchants were on standby to purchase them
If I had to say, they were all young
I to Aria
“How did it go?”
There
“They’re buying things for less than in Beiuarding and other things that cost money for free, they said from the start they’d pay less, after all”
But as ere near a Labyrinth of et earn much more than usual
It was an exclusive space with al but h
If you look at the sus of four people over the course of one day, it was plenty
“… Well, if we proceed at this rate, on’t go into the red, at the very least”
Looking at the day’s profits, I confirmed that, and nodded
There, Clara
“Lyle, what shall we do about that?”
I started walking with everyone towards the place Porter was parked
“Let’s put it on hold There’s sure to be a way to use it, and there’s h time to hear everyone’s opinion on the matter first”
The ‘that’ Clara spoke of was the treasure
Meaning the item we retrieved from the treasure chest
It was a form a sort of precious stone, but not like an ore It was a stone that looked like it had been in its refined state from the start
If we sold it, would probably fetch several tens of gold
That all depends on the quality of the stone, but a majority of items found in Labyrinths were imbued with Mana That put theemstone
And usability-wise, it was often the case they were used as ingredients in Magic Tools in a similar way to Rare Metal
Clara adjusted the positioning of her glasses
“Even so, it’s only just been discovered, yet this Labyrinth must have been in service for a number of years For such a precious treasure to be obtainable on only the first floor”
Even if the place was only just discovered, I won’t say it’s a rare tale for it to have existed fro passed
It could even be the case that it was just on the verge of bursting and spitting up its contents when it was found by the guild
“Those stalactites right? Aren’t those things that take several decades or centuries to form? Labyrinths sure do have their share of mysteries”
My opinion, having entered it, was that it was quite cold, and you would often get wet, so it would be quite difficult to maintain your physical state in there
Also, its passages were narrow, so even if you brought along a large number, there was a possibility most wouldn’t even be able to participate in battle
On pot of that, we’d have to confirm there were no other parties around the corner if anted to use ic
“To the re members Novem, Eva and May… what should we do about Monica?”
Miranda gave a bitter smile
“I see Shannon’s not even being counted frorasp on her situation already, so I recommend she be sent into the Labyrinth”
Hearing that, I
“Then perhaps the day after tomorrow? Ah, it’ll work out if I include Miranda there”
We challenged it with a small number this time to see hoould be
But froo with five or six
And while ere having such a conversation, alked through the lively town streets, and arrived at Porter’s station
In a large pot… cauldron, Monica was
Aria noticed it
“Ah, just looking at it warms me up I want to eat soon”
She wasquite a peaceful expression, and it did smell delicious
(Preparing these things after returning is a pain, so having co to be thankful for I should probably plan this with those that can do housework in et a little complicated)
Being few in numbers came with its own share of troubles
But if we increased thein to multiply
