Chapter 63 - Fruits of Labor

Floor B18

We advanced until there and found a roo to prepare the camp

The entrance of the room was narrow so Porter couldn't enter inside

We parked it in front of the entrance as wall to prevent monster's infiltration, then we eon's roo out foldable tables and chairs froht to put theether with Clarsan

「The construction is really secure isn't it?」

「Poyopoyo-san prepared this How should I say it, she created various convenient tools for us」

After placing lanterns and the preparation of the ca dinner

「Elaborate food cannot be created? That's just an excuse! This Poyopoyo for chicken dickwad's sake──」

「Poyopoyo, you're noisy Cut the ingredients quickly」

Mirandsan was preparing the ingredients quickly Noves like blanket

「It's nice that we can load the baggage like this,in order to prepare the caolo huh」

「You're saying that toon a wooden crate

It wasn't like ere ditching our work, it was a rest period forher eyes, and I had entered combat several times

When the preparation was over Clarsan also would take a rest

……I wasn't particularly doing any work I was in the middle of my break Then Novem approached with a smile

「Lyle-sama, Shannon-chan Both of you please wipe yourself first with hot water After dinner please brush your teeth and sleep okay?」

Both I and Shannon replied 「Ye~s」 and stood up

Shannon glared at me

「Don't peep」

I snorted

「What will I peep fro?」

Shannon's face was bright red and punched with her fist, so I took a step back and brushed it with ot irritated by that and kicked

Shannon could only swing around her hand if her head was held in place a little while ago, but right now she was o? Our score until now is my flawless victory you know?」

Shannon yelled

「Ukyaaaa! Don't get conceited when you're just a gigolo leeching off Onee-sama! Today is the day I deal with you for sure!」

Shannon took the Stance of Raging Sparrow

This girl was serious

I also took the Stance of Raging Sparrow in opposition

「Don't underestier than you!」

Then Arisan clapped her hands

「There, don't play around and wipe your body quickly」

Arisan previously didn't knohat to do when ca and onlyher work quickly

I and Shannon replied 「Ye, yes」 and went to receive the hot water to wipe our body

The next day

We advanced until floor B21 and stood on alert around Porter

Within the darkness with the lighting turned off, there was footstep near me

When I turnedfro

「Don't be that surprised」

「No, that's because you suddenly showed up」

Arisan's Art was acceleration An Art that drastically increased her speed teathered information, and then quickly returned

It seemed that the person herself still couldn't accept it, even so I didn't notice her until she approached near

Arisan told us about the information that she saw

「There are three lizardmen ahead fro so if we pass through nearby they will co a torch」

We nodded

Mirandsan praised her

「Oh, that's a work」

Arisan didn't honestly feel happy

「Thanks Lyle, what're we going to do? It looks like there is no monster in this area, should we launch surprise attack with everyone?」

When I was about to nod in agreement because that was the safest way, Sophisan shouldered her battle axe

「Can you leave it to me?」

Her voice was really serious I couldn't really see her face because it was dark, but I realized that she was serious just from her voice

Lizardman was a lizard demi-human Its size easily surpassed adult reater than hue axe or spear

However, Sophisan was motivated to do it alone

Mirandsan talked to uard with the rest acting as support As expected its irresponsible to reed

「I'ht with that」

Sophisan said that and started walking I and Mirandsan followed behind her as support and moved until the room with lizardmen inside

When we arrived at the entrance of the rooh they were talking

I nodded when Sophisan finished preparing

Sophisan immediately entered inside fro

「Sophisan!?」

I alht irl is an idiot, but she isn't just a simple idiot Let's watch the situation for a bit le lizard it stabbed into the wall

The lizarde mouth and let out a loud voice, then the other lizardht hand to the side

「──Come」

Then, the battle axe that was stabbed on the wall ca forcefully pulled and rotated

When the lizardht before its eyes

Blood splashed and the battle axe returned to Sophisan's right hand When she grasped back the rotating battle axe into her right hand, Sophisan i lizardman threay its torch and approached Sophisan

The lizardman's axe and Sophisan's battle axe clashed and sparks scattered

But, the lizarded two or three blows

Sophisan had s overpowered

The Fifth raised his voice inside the Jewel

『Hee, not bad Did the battle axe coic tool? Besides, that Sophia has also gotten better with her use of her Art』

The Sixth was also ihtened when it's lifted up, and weighted when it swing down Well, she has Art to control weight, so anyone will have that kind of idea to use it but……a lot of training will be necessary for her to be able to do that skillfully』

She obtained a ic tool and polished her own Art

It was sier because of that

I thought that it was really like the serious Sophisan

I created a light source inside the roo and swinging down her battle axe at that ti

Behindthe power that literally bisected the lizardht and left with one attack

I spontaneously applaused The Third spoke shortly inside the Jewel

『Well done』

He only praised shortly without any teasing

Like this the two of thereatly but……

I noticed a serious probleh floor B25, but I stayed quiet until we arrived at floor B29

Arisan would scout, and then if we launched a preemptive strike, Sophisan would perfectly carry out her job as the vanguard

If Noveic, Mirandsan would respond depending on the situation and covered up any hole

Poyopoyo would play an active role as both combat force or rear support Clarsan also showed her real ability by driving Porter or giving support

Shannon too, although she was only using her eyes, she was doing her best as a member of the party

Like that we finally reached the tie the floor boss at floor B30 The Fourth's voice caination that you haven't really done anything until here?』

Toainst the floor boss!

While the party was getting high spirited in preparation of that, I noticed that I alone hadn't really been doing anything I completely realized

The Third talked to me with a voice that sounded really worried

『I don't want to say it but, Lyle right now is really a gigolo Youyourself Well, that ht be a leader's quality but, as expected this is bad』

I called to Nove the camp

「Novem! I'll help out too!」

When I raised my voice and approached, Novem tilted her head adorably

But, Nove

「Lyle-sama, please rest early for tomorrow We will take care of this」

She said that and returned to her work

I looked around

Everyone had beco that I could help with

While I was looking around in a dither,atat rin like a crescenter welled up inside et repriot scolded

But, getting laughed by her was the only thing that I couldn't endure

Shannon too seelared at each other silently Like that, ere going to take the saaze turned toward a corner of the rooigolo bastard What?」

Shannon pointed at a direction A s there

The Second spoke inside the Jewel

『Shannon doesn't get scared? Even so, is there any noreon?』

I immediately took out my short sword and threw it in respond to the Second's words

The sword didn't hit the s in the air, but everyone focused ona weapon

Novem took out her staff and lifted it She fired several fire balls and burned the insect

When it was gone, I immediately looked at Shannon

「What was the insect just now?」

Shannon tilted her head while speaking

「That wasn't insect It was so an insect I saw a thin string, so perhaps it was connected to so

「……Shannon, where was that string connected to?」

Shannon took a step backward seeing Mirandsan's serious expression while replying

「O, outside the room But, it was too far away I didn't know the exact location」

The Fourth explained

『An insect made from mana Now that shethe Arts for scouting and rasped the Jewel The Third replied calood We won't allow you to use the Arts』

I wondered if I could use the ancestors' Arts for this kind of situation, but they wouldn't allow it

There was so us I wanted to think that it was just someone curious, but I couldn't be careless

Sophisan looked around

「Wa, was there so?」

Arisan was also bewildered

「I don't know Lyle suddenly took out his weapon, so I thought that he was going to quarrel with Shannon-chan again」

As expected even I wouldn't point my weapon at Shannon

Clarsan fixed the position of her glasses

「Recently the case of people in this trade getting attacked is increasing I never iined that they will come until this deep I heard that normally they will attack at upper level」

Noveaze at ency situation Will you use your Arts?」

I was troubled, but the ancestors absolutely wouldn't allow it

「……I won't use them」

Mirandsan looked at ht? These are people who intentionally co for a chance to target us」

Even I wanted to lift the ban of the use of Arts and obtained the enemy information ahead

However, it wasn't allowed The Third said

『We won't allow the use of Arts until you defeat the floor boss of floor B30 Lyle, try to think about it』

Just ere they saying in this condition where wewith the ancestors and tightly grasped the Jewel

「I'll think for a bit so let ot into Porter

The room of round table inside the Jewel

I put both ed in front of the sitting ancestors

「Please let me use Arts I think this isn't the ti」

The Second answered ie it so like this? We're being targeted by fellow adventurers here!」

The Fourth apathetically pointed out my blunders expressionlessly in respond totargeted since froeon didn't you? We won't let you say that you didn't think that the opponent would act It's also the leader's role to think about this kind of possibility It's not admirable to shelve up your own blunder like that』

I flinched at the attitude of the ancestors The Third laughed slightly seeing that

『It would be better to not talk at all fro to draw back just fro too to just leave this alone Let us give you an advice here』

After the Third said that they would give advice, the Sixth folded his arms and smiled But his smile was different from usual It was a warlike──a scary smile

『There's also the possibility that they're just peeking from curiosity If that's the case then you don't need to feel bothered at all But, the proble for prey Or in the second case that they're targeting Lyle and others』

If it was the former case, then there was a possibility that the other side would change their target now that we noticed them

But, if it was the latter case──ould they do if they thought that we noticed them?

The Seventh talked indifferently

『They'll attack forcefully Or perhaps they'll withdraw and wait for the next change It's also possible theyDon't you think so, Lyle?』

The Seventh who hated adventurer didn't see , the Third placed his hands behind his neck and tilted his head

『This kind of people is persistent They'll harass other people like it's nothing Can you allow your comrades to live in fear for the sake of people like that?』

Of course it wasn't aivable

The ancestors were pressuring ht to be relatively linting eerily

『Lyle, the situation is already at its final phase Are you going to defeat the defeated……that's the situation』

The Fifth was expressionless

『A battle isn't so that start suddenly It'll be different if soht with you, but there were various things before the situation became like this Let's see, you saved adventurers ere attacked by fellow adventurers That was a good thing But, you failed to notice You underestieon』

The Sixth erased his smile

『You also underestiht of it, that there is no way they will go until this far? That's no good Coood』

The Third swept back his blonde hair with his hand and showed his forehead

Unlike the usual, there was dreadfulness in the Third's expression

He was a person who left his naot that fro, but he was a person who had fought a lot more than someone like me

『This is Lyle's blunder Before you rely on us, you should regret your oorthlessness Originally you should increase the nuate the enehout the process of developing Porter

Itfroirls……there were a lot of things that would ers on the round table

『It'll only be a waste of ti Lyle It's important how fast you move in this kind of situation Also Lyle……can you, kill hu

I strongly clenched the cloth on ot but, these people were feudal lord──people who had fought humans for real

The Second said

『Well, leave it to us So like this is our specialty』

The Third was showing an expression that was different from usual

『In that case I'm curious about the opponent's lasses shi+ned oe their plan or not now that they've been found out……they have that convenient Art, surely until now they rarely got found out』

The Fifth lowered his gaze

『……They aren't targeting prey here You have to teach the after a ferocious beast』

I didn't knohether the Sixth was delighted or angry

『If they were spying just out of curiosity, give theht, they can't complain even if we hit them back』
