Chapter 54 \nChapter 54 – Let’s Map!\n
◎Rock Hold Cave – The first tier/level
「Uuun, big catch, big catch.」
Kazane packs the formic acid into a metal bottle for collection. By the way, it is explained as formic acid for the sake of convenience, but it’s something different than your usual methanoic acid (TL: Google-sensei provides – Formic acid, systemically named methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid.). It seems to be useful for ornament processing/manufacturing.
「Be careful about handling that. It causes sores when it touches the skin.」
Kazane put the formic acid bottle in the item box according to Zinray’s instructions.
「I wonder if more will come out in the future as well? (TL: hopeful tone implied)」
「No, it’s unusual for 8 to be encountered in the lower tiers, perhaps it is an expansion period.」
Yumika makes a puzzled face at Zinrays words.
「The expansion period is when the dungeon is about to start growing. The appearance/spawn rate of monsters increases considerably.」
Louise answered that question, Zinray nods.
「If we return with no problems, it would be a good idea to report it to the guild. For a beginner party that encounter would have been pretty dangerous.」
「During the expansion period it is also possible for many “Treasure Chests” to appear. Let’s be on the lookout.」
「Roger. Many emerging Treasure Ches….n?!」
Wait what did Kazane hear this person Zinray say?……A strange face was seen.
「Mu, what. What is that face?」
「Treasure Chest, (what do) you mean a Treasure Chest?」
「It’s a box with treasure. What’s wrong with that?」
「Hey Zinray-kun, they’re beginners remember. Dungeons have treasure chests.」
（I know that. I know but…）
I/Kazane thought perhaps that was only in the game. If thinking ordinarily, an old person would store their treasure in a box, and then left it would be excavated naturally later becoming treasure.
「Right. Maa, though separately it’s a little hard to understand, but in any case, the dungeon produces treasure chests. Like a monster.」
「Dunno. It’s always been like that. That’s just the way it is, no explanation for it.」
「Weapons and armor, items and various things.」
To that, Louise replied. It was really like a game.
（So it’s the same as Signa Ruins and Coral Temple.）
It seems that there is some intention to match the game specification.
Yumika seemed to have the same doubt, but Kazane laughed fearlessly.
「Ah Oh well. Let’s locate a treasure chest and open it!」
「It is nice to have vigor, but honestly the number that can be found is really limited so do not expect too much. It is also unlikely that something better than your equipment will come out at this level.」
However, there is a chance that some rare item may enter. Kazane’s expectation was rising.
◎Rock Hold Cave – Second Level.
Kazane slides and cuts the belly of the Worker Ant. Then turns around.
A Fire Needle (that) was expanded (upon) to increase magical power and sharpness was thrown.
And, the chest with the core was blown away.
Magical energy consumption is higher than needle but still less than half of Vortex, it is a sufficiently low cost magic. Usability is not bad either.
Mo, Tiara suddenly clung. The breasts pressed of course.
「Uwa, Tiara. What’s wrong?」
In order not to be crushed by the breast, the collapsed Tiara is supported.
『The consumption of magic exceeded the limit.』
Mefirs which is on the side answers. Also Mefirs is becoming slightly thin.\n「The knight was summoned 4 times this time.」
「However fortunately, the level went up by 2.」
Tiara shows the guild card.
（It is reasonable if the class of enemies is at this level.）
It gradually gets harder to raise after level 15.(in this world) In general, the level rises when the ability of the body etc. rises,(however) Tiara seems to be rising with the experience points of defeating monsters like Kazane. The power of the monsters is being absorbed when the summons defeat the monsters, without this method of absorption it is not normally possible for Tiara. It was also possible to raise the status of Kazane, Yumika and Tiara by training（Yumika actually leveled up by training.）.
「Un, Tiara worked hard ne.」
Tiara smiled happily at Kazane’s words of praise. Where is this girl going?(what are her intentions?) I am afraid of the future.
「Zinray-san, shall we stop here for the day and head up?」
「Yes. That’s right. I guess I have grasped the abilities of this groups members. The purpose should have been reached satisfactorily」
Yumika and Louise on the side nod to this.
「Well then shall we go home?」
「It is problematic/doubtful.」
Though Zinray had been mapping to paper from earlier, Kazane says “Command Open” and selects the the map display from the options. It is auto mapping. Furthermore, it is much like the standard navigation systems from Kazane’s age (world). The technological improvement is frightened.
Looking at the map, Kazane tilts her head.
Kazane and Zinray pour over Zinray’s map while talking to each other「Let me see nee」「Here and here…」「Fumu/Hmmm」「So it’s like this…」「Well, that’s possible…」
Yumika speaks to the two of them.
「Yumika the maps should be linked, please open yours.」
It opened. There was a cat marker designated by Kazane, which was in the wall.
「Now here. There is something wrong with the arrangement of the paths, I guess it’s a hidden room.」
Yumika nods. Toward the back, Tiara, Louise and Mefirs were standing with a confused looking face.
「Well, since it’s on the way back, we can check it as a matter of practice.」
Zinray saying so, turned and began to make his way back, a line followed him.

Kazane「Is it a treasure box? When you’re playing the game you would wonder ne」
Yumika「Like entering ruins nearby and finding a medical cave that nobody has found ne」
Kazane「I do not know herbs well, do you? The herb of a certain Zombie game is pretty awesome ne? Sophisticated.」
Yumika「There are lots of mysteries ne」
