『Dungeon City Amone』

It was like a city built inside a giant crater. The town was beautifully aligned in a hollowed out semicircle, with all of its main avenues leading to dungeon, and even from the edge of the city you could see that there are adventurers waiting at the entrance opened like a huge mouth. The houses were built along the slope, and the foundations were all made out of bricks.

「It’s amazing. You could see the whole city by just looking down」

「This is also a spectacular view. Many buildings feel a bit rough, but I could feel the atmosphere」

The style of the houses looks old and dirty. The road seems to have been made by solidifying the soil, and holes could be seen everywhere. There are special parking spaces on the outside where horse-drawn carriages make their stops. Is that some kind of countermeasure?

「Welcome. It will be one gold per carriage, but will you be able to pay it? 」

「Oooh…It’s expensive」

「It couldn’t be helped you know. You won’t have to worry about it being stolen if you leave it here, and I’ll give you a number plate so that you won’t lose sight of it. And also, there are no other parking places in this area. If you don’t want to then go somewhere else」

「Hmm, we’ll think about it for a moment.」

「Alright, well that’s just how it works around here」

Actually, there’s no need for us to think about it. I only wanted to check the price. After we move to a place out of sight, I stored the carriage and the golem in my storage. Not bringing a live horse was a good decision after all.

「It would have been better if the Inns are not like this」

「It would definitely be better for us to prepare ourselves……」

I was filled with enthusiasm when we entered the city, but there were no gates. Mika did mention that all the monsters around this area spawn inside the dungeon and there seems to be almost no threats from the outside. Well, there’s only a wasteland out there after all.

I thought about inn prices as we move around, however it wasn’t as expensive as I have expected. There is also an abnormally large number of Inn in this place. According to the people living in this place, 70% of the buildings in this town are Inns. Moreover, most of them are simple and off a rest area only. Most of the adventurers all dive in the dungeon. This city also has the highest adventurer population in the world, so such establishments couldn’t be helped.

We walked downhill towards the center for around 30 minutes and then found a certain place open.

「So,  is that the guild? I wonder what happened to that place is…… why does it look like a gathering spot of bandits? 」

There’s something strange about strange about it. The faces of the adventurers hanging around the entrances look more like a bunch of villains. I don’t want to even go near it. It felt like I would end up in a bad argument if I talk to anyone. I don’t want to get involved.

Is it not possible to live in the dungeon unless you are a strong macho man? Why is that,

「Let’s leave them alone for now」

「Yep」

「I guess」

「They look scary」

「Let’s go～♪」

It unanimously decided not to enter the place. After lowering our hoods, we quietly headed towards the dungeon. After all, it seems that place is close to the dungeon, and the entrance could immediately be seen.

「That is Amone’s dungeon……」

「That’s right,『The Grotto of Gloria』」

It was already wide looking from the outskirts, but when seen closely, it was much wider than expected. The hole extends obliquely downwards. There was a barrier like a film from the center, and the adventurers entered without hesitation.

There is a fence-like wall near the entrance, and near it was something resembling a hut. It seems like we need to go to that place to get permission in order to enter. Do we need to pay? It’s a hassle to queue up……

「Now, now, don’t show that annoyed look. Arena, go」

「Aidle～hug～♪」

「Wait, sigh, it couldn’t be helped, don’t expect me to be persuaded that easily 」

And so we waited in a queue for around 30 minutes while being hugged by Arena, and finally it was out turn. We won’t enter today, but we want to listen to explanations about the dungeon.

「Hah? Who are you people? You don’t seem like someone who are from around here, but are you adventurers? 」

「We have just arrived today. We don’t know about the dungeon, can we ask for an explanation about it for the time being? 」

「Hou……have you entered the guild?」

「No, we were wondering why scary looking guys are at the entrance」

I don’t really feel like going in that place. If I say that I didn’t go there, I didn’t feel like he would refuse giving us an explanation, so I was honest about it.

「Ah, those idiots, seriously……Well, never mind. Right now the dungeons are managed by the union, and if you want to enter, you will be charged with 5 silver coins per head. Those who enter the dungeon have their own special equipment, after that there is a requirement to bring along a 『Bagger』」

「Bagger―?」

「It’s as the name implies. They’re the ones who dismantle materials and carry it. They are also familiar with traps after all you’re all beginners, aren’t you? If you go to the guild, you’ll also be able to hire people. I also did ask 『Did you go to the guild? 』so I could recommend that instead 」

「Ahー……」

It seems like he was actually a kind person. Sorry, Jii-san.

「You have probably heard from someone along the way, but the city is only when seen on the surface. It’s better not to go to the guild、and that’s why a 『Bagger』 is a must when entering the dungeon. Well, if you get lost, Baggers can also guide you around. That’s all I could recommend though…」

「Will you only be here today?」

「I’m always around here in the morning. If you understand that, then just go straight here」

After I finished talking to the Jii-san, I shook his hand. But I thought about something for a bit,

「I understand. By the way, what is Jii-san’s name?」

「Hah?……It’s Jess」

「Jess-san is it. Thank you. I’m Aidle, see you again」

「La Veil, see you later」

「Arena! Byebye!!」

「Ci, Cielo. See you later」

「Umm……I’m Sakurada. See you again Jii-san」

「O……Ouh」

We then left the hut after telling her our names after all it’s important to introduce yourself to good people. Now then, I’ve heard the information we needed for the time being. And then next will be to go shopping and then finding an actual good Inn.

「Using fairy magic, I could easily do it on my own」

「Master could also use special magic after all」

「Will, will it really be that easy?」

「Dunno?」

I’m currently filled with energy and want to do something.

What I found out by going around the stores was that there are mostly preserved foods that are being sold. There were various kinds of dried meat, hard bread, and water bottle magic tools. It seems like water can be compressed, having a container the size of about 500 ml, can fit about 10 liters. It was 10 silver coins, but from an adventurer’s point of view, it wouldn’t be much.

I bought water bottle and the preserved food for the same number of people for the time being, and each one of us received it. If we get separated by a trap, we’ll be able to last for a few more days.

「From now on, we’ll only carry a minimum amount of necessary luggage along with our weapons. And then this」

I handed each one of them a home-made teleportation stone.

「As soon as the danger comes, just fill it with magic. You’ll instantly teleport」

「Master, Isn’t this something that you could only create with a considerable amount of magic power」

「It wasn’t really that hard to create it La Veil」

It takes about one month to create one of this. I created 1 while in Galania. I then created 6 starting from the founding of Ladaria to the time we reached Amone. In any case, this is currently the last batch.

「Alright, now it’s time to look for an Inn. It’s dangerous at night and then we’ll have a meal on our room」

After walking around for quite some time, we finally found a good Inn. With 5 people, we were split into 2 rooms. It’s good because they have good beds and also have hot water offered.

「Master, when are you going to separate?」

「Well, even if I wanted to, Arena is?」

「A～I～D～L～E～～♪」

「Uwah, it seems like Arena doesn’t have any intention to leave…」

Arena is currently hugging my head. Mika was staring at me with a jealous and disappointed face.

「Then, the remaining 1 extra will be decided by a rock-paper-scissors. It will be 3 and 2」

「Yoshi」

「I will not lose!」

La Veil, why are you even competing with the other two? We’re good friends, so why don’t you just join us?

（（I will definitely have those two lovely creature for myself!!））

……?

「Goー♪」

「Funnuuuu～～～」

「Sorry about that…」

The Rock Paper Scissor ended with Mika’s victory. And so, we asked the shopkeeper who was staring at us as if looking at suspicious people for a while now.

「Gorogoro～♪」

「Kyawa～♪」

「……」

Mika doesn’t even blink, and while sitting on her bead, she was burning in her brain the sight in front of her. By the time Aidle and Arena dove on the bed, they both returned into their fairy form.

（Why……why can’t I become that small and cute too）

Mika was regretting being born as a human being after living as one for a long time. For such cute creatures to exists, it’s hard for her to show her love with her current self….

「Mika～」

「Mika～♪」

「Eh, ah. What’s wrong?」

「「Open your hand?」」

When Mika opens her palms, the two sat down on each hand as if it was a chair and faced each other. The two are light as a feather however their softness was certainly being felt by her hands. She desperate pretended to be calm.

「Will Mika tell us about her original world?」

「Want～to know♪」

（……I’m so glad that I came to another world）

On the other hand, La Veil and Cielo’s group.

「Cielo, is there something you want to ask? You’ve been peeking at me for quite a while now」

「Ah, sorry about that La Veil-san……Um, where did La Veil-san come from?」

「Hmm?……Well, you could say that I’m not from any country. I was living near a hillside village. I just happen to meet master at some time which caught my interest and then decided to come along with them」

「Um, what about your family? That name…um… it is similar to ancient dragon-sama」

La Veil’s status was currently augmented by Aidle’s 『Fairy Magic』 and her strength is supposed to be hidden, however in Cielo’s eyes, only special races and skills would be able to disguise themselves. But since only her status column is disguised, it probably became suspicious.

On the other hand, Cielo did not intend to force her out to say something she’s trying to hide, so she only wanted to hear about what she would say.

「Ah!!……No, that’s not it. Well, you see my name was given by my grandfather, but that was not because he was because of religious matters…」

Though hesitant, Le Veil managed to answer Cielo’s questions. She was thinking that Cielo would end up worshiping her if she finds out……

（I wish we could get along with each other just like master……）

「Oh, Mika’s breasts are so soft～♪」

「Bouncy～」

「…Nn…Nn!」 Mika’s worries continue to increase because of the two fairies.
