Chapter 224
Year 7446, Month 2, Day 29
Last week when we left the dungeon a letter had arrived from my brother in Bakuddo. It seems the next time they'll come is near the end of next month. The confusion from dispatching last year has already calmed and it seems they're bringing another huge load again. Since he has various fine jobs he has to take care of as the lord, the one coming this time is sister-in-law Shani-san. It seems that mother can't take her hands off training Zetto and Becky with magic. Come to think of it Zetto and Becky should already be six years old? Seven years old? I want to see them.
Maybe when sister-in-law Shani-san returns I'll accompany her and return once as well. There's also the matter with Kuro and Mary. It seems they're still squires. Though I say that, they started off as Free People who didn't have any sort of combat training. Even if they're reincarnated people blessed with a high degree of growth, there's no way they'd make it as knights in just four years. Even the child of a commoner that's received combat training since they were young takes an average of four years. Doing it in less than that is impossible. Not to mention, they weren't enlisted after being properly recognized for their abilities.
Ah, putting that aside, as expected we weren't able to get our hands on any treasure in the dungeon this time. But, there is one thing that's bothering me. There's clearly some changes that can be seen in the teleport room on the 5th floor. One of the corners is the place where we {Slaughterers} have been using since the year before last but it was prepared with a reasonable level of kitchen, foot bath, and other facilities. Of course there's a shower room as well. The corner diagonally from that was where the facilities the former {Sun.Ray} used that was left just like that. Occasionally we're cleaning it as well.
When we first absorbed {Sun.Ray} we discussed moving these facilities to the teleport room on the 7th floor but since they were all worn-out and cheap everyone was against bringing those to the front line. Above all else Giberuti said, "If it's this then I can't make anything very delicious." which decided it. We thought that eventually a reasonable number of people might stay in the 5th floor so we decided to just leave it as it is.
The change that we noticed this time was that of the remaining corners left one of those was suddenly furnished with another cheap portable stove comparable to the one {Sun.Ray} had and there was also some boxes which we have no idea what's inside of them packed together. It's probably large pots, kettles, and stuff though. Additionally there was around 10 peoples worth of blankets and bedding. The floor was dry and we couldn't see any traces that it was being used but inside of the shower room bucket there was a single magic stone from a boss on the 2nd floor, the Owlbear. They probably intended it as payment for using it. The Identify value was about 6,000 so if we sell it that'll come out to over 40,000 Z.
The {Verdure.Brotherhood} and {Black.Topaz} huh? Otherwise maybe {Gehenna.Flare}. At the very least some place has completely cleared the 5th floor and it's evidence that they're clearly aiming for the 6th floor as a hunting ground.
Eh? Zenom? He's super strong as usual. That magic axe can be used even if you don't throw it. It seems Ralpha borrowed it from Zenom and tried using it as well but said, "This is a waste for me to have." and accepted it.
Putting that aside, today is the first day of a three day break.
Currently we're in the middle of a rest break from doing cooperation training a bit outside of the outer crater, having tea time.
"Is it fine to talk for a bit?"
Kamu came over to where I was accompanied by Rokko.
"It's about the dungeon but I think it would be about a good time for us to go to the 2nd and 3rd floor as well though.."
Rokko said while chewing on the stem of a long piece of grass. What era delinquent are you from?
This guy, even though he's an elf and his build is completely different.
