Volume 5, Chapter 1 - Trying Out Going to the Dungeon – Part 4
This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu
Evening──
At one of the countless boulders that were scattered in the desert. When the sand under the shade of the boulder was removed a bit, there was a board.
It was a door.
When opened, the inside turned into a cave. A wooden staircase continued down it.
「Wawah, is this the dungeon!?」
Shera raised a high-pitched voice.
Rem breathed a sigh.
「……We just had a conversation that said that it would take about 2~3 days to get to the dungeon. Isn’t this a sand ship?」
When she asked that, Horun nodded.
「That’s right -ssu! It’s a shipwreck -ssu ne. I think that it was done in by monsters, but there weren’t any people -su yoー」
Maybe they escaped, or maybe they were eaten by those monsters that attacked them.
Everyone went down into the cabin.
The wooden staircase creaked.
Rem stroked the wall. *Para para*……The surface collapsed and fell. It seemed to be quite old.
「……Food and water is in here?」
「There is -ssu yo, it’s my hideout -su. Since I can replenish that stuff without going back to town and then go into the dungeon again, it’s super convenient -ssu.」
「……If you were to dig this up, wouldn’t it be a fortune?」
「Unfortunately, the cabin is the only thing that properly remains, and it seems that the bow and stern of the ship are gone -su yo.」
「……Is that so.」
Lumachina surveyed the cabin.
And then she put both of her hands together.
Maybe it was a prayer to Kami-sama for providing this place, or maybe it was a prayer for the sailors that rode on this sand ship.
Shera sat down on one of the chairs.
「It looks like ghosts or something will appear.」
「Ugh……!? I was trying to not think about that kind of stuff, so I want you to stop that -ssu.」
「Ahahaha」
She laughed and passed it off.
Rem brushed off the sand that was on an elliptical shaped table.
「……For today, since we also have last night’s fatigue, let’s rest here. Since we’ll be walking a lot starting tomorrow.」
「Agree~d!」
Shera raised her hand, and Horun nodded.
Lumachina tightly clenched her fists.
「I, I will do my best.」
It seemed that she was suffering since she wasn’t used to venturing on foot. Even on the journey from Faltra City to Zircon Tower City, a majority of it was either on a carriage or a sand ship.
Rem looked over here.
「……Is that alright, Diablo?」
「Ah? Umu.」
Maybe she was seeking an opinion from him as well. That was probably it.
Only a small time has passed since he started to act together with Rem and Shera but……he still wasn’t used to group action.
If he loses focus, at times where everyone has decided the plans, he unintentionally ends up thinking “it doesn’t concern me”. A habit of many years doesn’t change easily.
Horun brought out food and water from deep inside the cabin.
「We’ll grill ‘em outside -ssu!」
Shera jumped up.
「Alright~!! There are raisins~!!」
「There’s also jerky and various other things -ssu. There’s still time until night comes, and since we have the chance, we’ll cook outside -ssu.」
「……That’s true.」
Rem also approved, so things turned out like that.
It was cooking that used preserved foods, but they had continued to fight since last night, and today they walked for a long time.
It felt like a warm meal would be very delicious.
