Chapter 33 - Dungeon Subjugation Start
Multiple wagons and carts for
The sun is blazing down The air is humid The horse and their poop are stinky
We were able to advance through the highway untilconsideration to people's convenience……
「Heave, ho-!」
I, Rondo-san, and Ralph-san are pushi+ng froot its wheel stuck in order to rassland that is hard to walk on has bright green grass growing until our waist
「The weed entangled the wheel」
Rondo-san wiped his sweat and checked whether the wheel is broken or not He cut the entangling ith a short sword When I look around, there are a lot of wagons having the sailant, Sophisan ca the water to Rondo-san and Ralph-san
「Here」
「Thank you」
After I accept it and drink it all at once, I felt slightly eased
The Second's exasperated voice comes from inside the Jewel
『There should be better way like having the advance party clearing away the grass or so』
The Fourth expressed a different opinion
『Perhaps they thought that a path would be opened anyhile the group is going there? Well, certainly the efficiency is bad like this』
It's possible to search for a path that is easy to be passed using my Arts However, there are also people and horse carts around us, so we cannot leave theoods that we'll be using are loaded in the horse cart that we rented Water, food, change of clothes, and then the necessary tools, the spare weapons, etc
The Fifth was irritated since so too bad? Just what are the people who arrived ahead are doing? I wish they will think about the people co after theoing ahead in order to investigate
The group doesn't advance Zelphy-san who headed to the leading group in order to check the situation is returning and waving her hand
「We're resting for a while Several of the horse carts at the lead beca it to go wild Aah, it's the worst」
At the schedule we should be arriving at the afternoon today, but right now it's already afternoon
「Won't it be better if we sent soh?」
Zelphy-san also agrees with reed but, she snorted
「This is the result of rief, I wish they didn't use a on the nearby boulder asked Zelphy-san
「What is the guys who arrived at the dungeon ahead of us doing?」
Zelphy-san received water fro while wiping her uys are adventurer party that was dispatched froic tools for investigating, but what they are doing is basically only dungeon investigation, not chores」
The adventurers who came from Centralle are special adventurers who have unique skill It seeuild here
There is no way they would do any chores, is what they said
The Seventh snorted
『Hmph, as expected the like of adventurer is useless』
The Third also of the sa in the Seventh's case but, I think I also feel the sa a path is useless and do it properly』
The Fourth laughed a little
『Well, if you look at the docuh they will be indispensable on the site In everything, the best result doesn't always mean to be the most optimum result』
The best result isn't the most optimum Those words made me wanted to tilt roup start ain……that's what is inbehind us is really large and splendid People are co down from there
「What?」
Rondo-san is surprised Ralph-san is also surprised, andand rotating their shoulders as they please What is surprising is that all of them are female, and their appearance isn't like adventurer
They are wearing showy dress In addition, the chest part of their clothes is opened, and there are also woh
While we are watching in surprise, onedown The thin olda hat addressed irls are bored I told theo outside to relax so our journey?」
I answered the old man with a flustered state
「Eh!? No, yes It seems the horse cart at the front become unusable, so it doesn't look like we'll move for a while」
The old man took off his hat and pressed on his forehead
「That's troubling…… Oops, I haven't introduced roup as a post exchange merchant If you have any business please talk tofros prepared」
The old man who introduced himself as Byron pointed with his thumb at the horse cart──no, the prostitutes behind hiood……』
The Fifth was exasperated
『This guy is really… Lyle, be careful After all thewill be more expensive than normal And the increase won't be limited to just a fourth or a third, there are even some people ill double the price』
A rip-off? While I' on here
「You bastard, this shi+tty geezer Byron!」
I' out such foul-
「What, isn't this Zelphy With you being here, does thatpeople are trained by you?」
Zelphy-san was approaching here with large stride Her gaze ran around the relaxing prostitutes and Byron-jiisan before she for your hile also taking a rest? You're really hard at work」
「Daily effort is i stress is i with the words of Byron-jiisan while laughing
『Exactly! That's an i that, the Fifth and the Seventh are──
『Tsk!』
『It's really irritating』
The Sixth……did he have soard to woman relations? Well, certainly he is the one who looked like the type to play around thehim about it someday, Zelphy-san called at Novem and others
Novem, Arisan, Sophisan, Rachel-san──the four of theesture at Byron-jiisan
「Our group don't need anything like that as you can see」
Byron-jiisan looked at the four and laughed
「Excuse my rudeness then But, I also have other merchandise Come talk to me if you feel like it」
Byron-jiisan waved his hand and headed toward another group of horse cart The prostitutes alsoByron-jiisan
It seemed his intention was really to pro」
「Really」
When Rondo-san and Ralph-san said that, Rachel-san's cheeks twitched
「Despite that the two of you looked like you were going to bite at the offer though?」
When the two started to make excuse to Rachel-san, Zelphy-san cautioned us
「Think really carefully when buying various things at the post exchange merchant's place It's the nor on the situation the price can possibly be doubled or tripled Be careful so that the et sucked by the, so surely it's not wrong
Although, there won't be any nearby place where we can buy ite to make use of such service on't have any other choice except Byron-jiisan's place
Sophisan seems unable to s the current situation She asked to Arisan
「Say, the women just now……」
Arisan answered naturally
「They're prostitute Rather, it's a that their business spiritthe word prostitute, Sophai-san recalled the conversation just now and lookedand closing
「Do, don't tell me, Lyle-dono will also use their service!?」
The Third answered that question of Sophisan even though there was no way she could listen
『Too bad! Lyle don't have that kind of guts』
Certainly I won'thearing it got said like that
「I've never used that kind of service」
Sophisan is relieved hearing that I wonder why?
Nove around
「It looks like ill start roup at the front started
Evening
We who arrived at the destination although it was late started preparing the cae and unloaded theeon subjugation including during the travel was taken care of by the cooks that the guild hired
But, bluntly speaking, the content of the dish was terrible
It was only a soup of vegetable and bean, and hard bread
There would be no end to it if we complained, even so there is no other way to call it except terrible And above all else, the amount was little
「It feels insufficient」
When I colared at s More ie at the cooks Even they normally would cook more delicious dish It beco in this kind of environredients」
When I looked around, there is only grass, rocks lying on the ground, and a s place is also far away
Rondo-san's shoulders dropped
「I heard that the nearest river is several kilometers away but, it seems the actual distance is five or six kilometer It will be difficult even just to fetch water」
Zelphy-san explained apathetically
「If there is a watering place nearby and the area look livable, then the events will naturally flow for a reclaeon subjugation But, in case of a place that isn't suitable for living like this, everyone will ation and that'll be the end of it」
However, in the Second's opinion
『……I got the feeling that there'll be watering place if you enter deep into the forest but, it's also troublesome to search and check if it'll be usable』
Well, even if there is such place, it's not my job to draater
That kind of chore is the responsibility of the adventurers who are hired as rear support It seeeon won't need to do any chores
「Now then, I'll explain about toation teaation for real After that──」
I listened to Zelphy-san's explanation and questioned whether the dungeon won't get sti
The next day
We welcoation
After confireon, we decided our role and standby at the entrance of the dungeon
What is waiting for the nearly forty adventurers in front of the dungeon, are monsters
A trap was set up, and then a commotion was raised near the entrance to lure the monsters Like that when they ca!」
The loud voice of an adventurer whose naer Noveic Rachel-san also did the sa members readied their weapon and waited at standby Fro unnaturally with each other to for the shape of a gate──five adventurers rushed out
Right after that, goblins, orcs, and then insect typeout in swaricians preparing their , blowing away themonster, so we relaxed our shoulder
「……So we're repeating this fro」
Yes, this action has been repeated several ti a lot of eon, and to bloay the eon are decreasing, but I'ht
Inside the Jewel
The Fifth saw this scene and,
『The subjugation ed huh』
He
When I looked behind, an adventurer wearing an over the top robe e instruction
The adventurer who listened to it came this way and conveyed the instruction
「It's over With this the nueon subjugation will start for real tomorrow Also, except for soation in order to secure the safety of this vicinity」
At the first day, it seeation of the monsters at the vicinity is also our job
There are also adventurers working the guard duty around the cauard duty, they don't want to move too far froination」
Rondo-san also smiled wryly at my words
「Well, thanks to that the eon decreased It's efficient Even so, all the uild huh」
We were fightingThe result frouild Well, it's unclear who defeat what monster and it would be absurd if a quarrel occurred when deciding everyone's share, so perhaps it's better like this
Zelphy-san sheathed her sword and put her shi+eld on her back before giving us instruction
「Coned to us Lyle, you're searching the htly hot
The Fifth's Art, Map
The Sixth's Art, Search
The two Arts showedinon it
Blue is ally, red is enemy──yellow is neutral
「This way The nue of the baggage in the tent Because of that, the lineup right now is me, Zelphy-san, Novem, and Rondo-san's party
Ralph-san looked at me
「Lyle's Art is really convenient Hey, what can it do?」
Then Rachel-san lightly hit Ralph-san with her staff
「Ralph, that's a breach of manner Don't carelessly ask about other person's Art」
「I get it」
Rondo-san apologized tohi, then in the middle we found the party that Dalel-san is included in
The leader, a htly curly His body is wrapped in leather ar style using a sword and a shi+eld is the same like Zelphy-san The rowing frouys do your best」
We also waved back, but the adventurers who are acting together with Dalel-san glared at us when they looked our way for souys?」
Ralph-san said that in wonder Then Zelphy-san opened her ot to tell you but, actually we are betting with each other It's a bet of who can earn ation this time It's a competition with the adventurer party that Dalel trained so you guys do your best」
I' told that
「Err, I don't knohat to do even if you toldaside the perplexed hed inside the Jewel
『It's fine isn't it It's fun if you have soeon subjugation will start for real huh』
The Fifth has low tension like usual
『Seems so Well, let's check the situation first It's also not interesting to suddenly teach the right answer And there is also the adventurer's style to consider』
The Second seemed to be of the same opinion but,
『Before that they're still not used to the dungeon Lyle, it will be harsh at the beginning Prepare yourself』
