Succubus-san's Life in Another World

The request received was for the collection of nut rear fruit with medicinal effect, as well as for muffled grass with medicinal effect. They can both be taken in what is called the 'Forest of the Abyss', which extends to the west side of the city of Motoshi.

This "Abyss Forest" is just a forest from the outside, but it's a huge dungeon, and it's transformed into a different space. Of course, demons are trekking inside, and you cannot enter the 'Abyss Forest' without the strength to defeat them.

Every year, many adventurers become unchallenged returnees to the Abyss Forest. The more we move on, the stronger the demons become, and the more vicious traps and labyrinths await that will not come out easily if we get lost. As the name suggests in the Abyss Forest, its interior is vast with vast forests and, of course, plants such as nuts and herbs are native.

Inside the dungeon, they have stronger ingredients called magic vegetables than elsewhere, and they're more effective at drugs than anything else they can take. For this reason, the request itself is constantly affixed, so I feel safe for novices to the dungeon like I do without having to force the battle.

Also, the guild manages the entry and exit of the dungeon and cannot enter unless it is rank D or higher. Me and Urania are D-ranked, so there's no problem.

"What do you need?

"It's a day trip, so I don't need food. About the potion?"

"You can use healing magic, right?

"That's all, danger. It's out of magic or something."

Uh, I see. Sure, it's almost impossible, but it's dangerous if my magic runs out and I can't use healing magic. What's more, I'm not always able to use healing magic, and I need it as a spare.

So a few potions and a uniform food. Then I bought a simple map. The map is a simple one with three large silver coins and a price like Botakuri, but it is also a difference between cloud mud. At least, there will be no such thing as a marked object and the location of the exit, so if you get lost, you won't be able to come out.

"Hey? Have you seen anything?

"Always, like this. But maybe a lot?

We've been waiting for the entrance and exit set by the Alliance to enter the Abyss Forest, but it feels like we're gathering our sights around us. I'm still not sure if it's noticed by the two women, or if it's rumored that I've caught my attention, but I feel like there are a lot of slightly gruesome gazes.

Well, if it's just to be seen, it's somewhat unpleasant, but it's harmless, and you can leave it. If you're going to do something, you just have to deal with it relentlessly then. Just like this morning at the guild.

We entered the Abyss Forest with a D-rank Adventurer Card without any particular problems. I'm just surprised the guild's conductor has offered to "shake your hand," though. Is it something that spreads that far in just one day? I took it because I had no reason to refuse if I shook my hand.

"Broad, brighter than I thought."

"This place is still superficial. It gets darker and darker when it gets deeper."

At the entrance of the dungeon, about five meters of walls made of a combination of marutai are built, and the whole area across the gate is the dungeon "Forest of the Abyss". The place I came in was brighter than I had imagined, with the sun shining everywhere. It seems that the rear fruit and muffled grass you are looking for are on the surface layer, so you won't have to worry about the lights during the day.

Even so, lunch is already past due to the fact that it took nearly two hours on foot to get here before lunch. I don't have time for that until the sun goes down, so I need to hurry up, but I think Urania has an idea.

"So, Urania. What am I supposed to do?

"Mm, just wait a minute. Now, sniff."

"Sniff?"

When Urania says so, she begins to meditate and concentrate her eyes. I'll keep my eyes open so I don't disturb it. At the same time as demons roam in the dungeons, demons can suddenly gush. The details are not known because the dungeon situation has not been clarified, but it seems that the dark magic elements in the dungeon will gather and condense further to become the demonic stone that is the core of the demon. And the Magic Stone gathers the surrounding magic vegetables and creates the form of a demon.

Only this demonic stone, a mass of magic vegetables, can be converted into a high standard of magic, so it is traded at a high price in the guild. If it is small, it can be used in the general household, and even if you are not a magician, you can handle magic magic items. It's like a battery from a previous life.

"Found it."

"Oh, that's fast."

"Mm, I have myself in my nose. Over here."

It hasn't been three minutes since Urania started concentrating. In this short time we really try to find it, and Urania moves on to the back of the woods in an unmistakable foothold. Then I found a single tree with yellow fruit. Urania climbs the tree cleverly and throws it over here with one of them.

"Oh, hey. Is this the fruit of Leah?

"Yes, try it. Good quality rear fruit is actually very sweet"

"Heh... yeah, it's true. Nice sip."

I'll grab hold of Leah's fruit, which is in my hand, as Urania says. That said, I feel like a hamster because my mouth is small.

The taste is kind of sweet. I wish I could just take a bite, but if I eat all of this fruit, I'm going to get heartburn.

"Well, you took it better than I did."

"I was lucky. Usually this third or so."

"That's lucky for you. Do you know who Muffled Grass is anymore?

"Leave it to me."

Urania starts to concentrate again while she's sticking a dozen rear fruits into [dream storage]. Looks like it took a little while this time, but I think I found it. But apparently, trouble.

"I found it, though."

"But?"

"There's a demon on the side. What are you going to do?"

Apparently, there's a demon on the side of the muffled grass. I only talked to him a little bit, but because of this, I decided to see how the opponent was doing and have a fight. I don't know what a dungeon demon looks like, but there will be my magic and I won't be in danger of my life. I decided to fight here once and for all, even in the sense of trying to make Urania more combative.
