chapter 33
33. Shouldn’t I pursue shoveling in dungeons (5)
“Iguo Masita…Lose more…”
“Tell me after you finish eating everything in your mouth.”
I watched with pity as Milia ate the hydra salted meat until she shed tears.
I felt a bit pitiful because I ate while crying pitifully.
Should I throw it a little more slowly next time?
“Hey, Mila?”
“Mulia!”
“Yes, Millia. I have a question…Where do you go when you eat it?”
“Of course go with the body!”
What kind of structure is it made of? Is it a structure that warps into the stomach when eaten? We looked at each other wondering how Milia’s body, which ate salted meat with emotion as if she had eaten a top-notch steak, was connected.
I feel like I’ve run into a difficult problem. It’s a useless hassle.
We sat around after a salty meal on the camp. Of course, Millia was placed in the middle. Milia opened her mouth, a look that bothered us looking down at the same time.
“Never say anything about dungeons!”
“You gave me something to eat.”
“Do you want to be purified?”
“Looks like you want to get stuck in the dungeon wall again.”
“…What should I say first?”
Persuaded by a peaceful conversation, Milia lowered her tail like a frightened puppy.
What should I ask?
“Who is that guy?”
“Uh… !@*$#!&”
“What?”
“!@*(&$(!&(*#! Damn! Turner! Pervert! Who can’t even open a wine bottle by himself!”
“Has anyone heard of it?”
As I looked at the two of them alternately, they all shook their heads. Is it some kind of security device? To prevent information disclosure? If this is the case, there is no meaning in bringing them and feeding them.
“What is under that dungeon?”
“There is (!*@()!#$&(!@$ㅛ(!#!”
“Who knows?”
Is everything related to dungeons censored? Then about the aisle… Oh, I knew it with a glance. So, should I use it with a portable navigation? I couldn’t hide my regret at the fact that I couldn’t get information even though there was an informant.
After all, information is the most important thing to survive, but the information provider is unable to provide information. I felt like I was running into trouble again. If it goes like this…
“I have no choice but to collide with my body.”
“I provided information, so only one! One more!”
“I couldn’t understand a thing you said. Hey, didn’t that guy who you think was him do something to you?”
“I don’t know! That guy said !@*!#)(! And immediately got stuck in the wall!”
That bastard’s censorship. No matter what kind of guy he was, it was clear that he was a guy who was thorough in security. An opponent like that is the most annoying. Now that this was the case, it seemed that there was no choice but to slowly go down one floor at a time. Before that, I need to get some more supplies from home.
That chatterbox is ravenously eating our food.
“I’m going to go get supplies for a while. Let the two of you rest here.”
“Can you bring it by yourself? Me too…”
I reached out and stopped Lenny from getting up. I silently pointed my finger at Karina and Milia. Fortunately, Lenny noticed my message and he sat down straight away and looked up at me.
“Have a good trip. If you are in danger, even scream.”
“It probably won’t happen.”
Dangers It won’t be easy to be in danger on an island where all hazards have been removed. Unless I foolishly get myself caught in my own trap.
“Please be careful.”
“You must bring a lot of food!”
Did you leave something to eat? I pushed the head of Millia, who shouted proudly, and opened the door to the camp. The forest, which until recently had a stench, now felt only the fresh air unique to the forest.
I stuck my head out to check the floor and put my foot on the ladder.
———————–
“Today we will explore the second floor. Did you pack your things properly?”
“Yes! I got everything!”
Karina nodded her head in a bright voice. Because it’s always cute She turns her gaze and looks straight at Lenny. Lenny was staring at me as if he was asking when we were leaving, carrying a bag the size of his body.
“Wait, are you going that way?”
“Any problem?”
“I don’t know what’s going to happen, but going with nothing on top is kind of…Isn’t it?”
“Yes, that’s right! Why are you not wearing a top! There are three women!”
I don’t know how many times it was pointed out. There’s nothing strange about what she said. Because you don’t know what kind of danger lurks inside the dungeon, it’s right to wear at least leather clothes that can expect the minimum defense.
“Okay.”
I put on the leather clothes I made earlier in my bag. Since it was made using the bear head family, it must have minimal defense. When I put on my clothes and looked at Lenny again, he was looking at me with a surprised face.
“Did you really wear it?”
“Who do you know as a barbarian?”
“Uh, but…Every time I ask if you don’t wear it, you don’t wear it…”
Was it? I don’t remember very well.
It’s nothing special, so we should go down quickly.
“Is there anything more to pack? If not, I will leave.”
We walked straight out of the camp and into the dungeon. In the forest, only the occasional chirping of birds and the sound of trees shaking in the wind can be heard. The weather is so nice, it feels like a picnic.
The destination is a dungeon.
The entrance to the dungeon was closed just like yesterday. The door doesn’t seem to have been broken or broken while sleeping. I felt a sense of incongruity when the dungeon, which had always been so noisy, was so quiet.
Is there a structure where zombies stop appearing after clearing the first room?
In case of danger, I didn’t open the door right away and knocked on it with the back of my hand.
Knock Knock.
“It is quiet.”
It seems that zombies have not been regenerated. Come to think of it, how do zombies come about? I lifted Milia, who was munching on the dried meat with a question, and met her eyes.
“Milia. How do zombies come about?”
“I don’t know!”
…That doesn’t really help.
Putting Millia back on my waist, I opened the door. With the sound of hinges scraping, the same dark road as yesterday appeared. Grab a shovel, plunge yourself into the darkness, and examine your surroundings. There is no popularity. I immediately turned around and signaled to the group that it was safe.
Then, three lamps illuminated the dungeon.
“First, go around the first floor and go down to the second floor.”
The cave still looks the same as it did right after I destroyed the lights yesterday. It’s only natural that it’s only been a day, but this isn’t a place where common sense works. Right now, this place was also a trap that made me wander the road with strange magic. After such a boring lap, we went down the stairs to the second floor.
The stairs going down were quite long. How long have you walked down a road where you can only see darkness? The view from the lamp was blocked by the wall.
No, this is a door.
I grabbed the doorknob that reflected the light of the lamp and turned it.
And we reflexively covered our eyes.
“It is dazzling…”
“This is…”
The lights embedded in the ceiling are dazzling. The amount of light is different from that of the passage on the first floor.
And…
“It’s full of undead.”
“What is this…”
Undead here too. Undead there too. Zombies, skeletons, and ghosts roam the tombstone fields. It seemed that this was where zombies and skeletons were born. Fortunately, the location we came out of was quite far from the cemetery, on top of a hill. When I left the door and looked back, it seemed that the door was floating in the air.
I think I’ve seen this in an old cartoon movie.
“This island looks bigger than this island, right? Hey, how do you have all these spaces…”
“I have heard that a dungeon is a completely separate space from the world we live in. That’s why they said the size and shape were unrealistic.”
There is a status window and skills, so it’s no wonder that the dungeon is an instant dungeon format that is common in RPG games. Then, as Karina said, it wouldn’t be strange to see it as a space where the outside and inside of the dungeon were separated.
“Milia. Recite what you know about the second floor.”
“!*@&*!(#$”
“Just shut up.”
I can’t hear either. I brought it thinking it would be useful, but I think I should seriously think about throwing it away somewhere. Or, as Karina said, to purify.
“Why?”
“Don’t you know how others hear your voice?”
“What are you talking about? You’re talking weird again. Anyway, since I said something, give me something to eat!”
Miria really didn’t notice. If this is the case, it will be difficult to obtain information in words. I ignored Millia’s request, crouched down on the hill, and once again surveyed the view from the second floor.
I don’t know what the hell happened here, but tombstones lined up and hands sticking out of the ground like a scene in a movie. And even zombies that push the soil and raise their bodies. It was a floor lined with rather classic zombies. Zombies that seemed to easily exceed three digits even with a cursory glance were wandering the graveyard in rapture.
Mmm.
Where is the way down to the third floor?
I looked around, but I didn’t see anything crooked.
It’s probably like solving a gimmick for the door to appear.
I lifted Milia’s head and met her eyes. Milia looked at me asking why and opened her mouth.
“Why? Can you give me something to eat?”
“Where is the door to the third floor?”
“Umm~!*@&*#$(!$!”
As expected. And Millia is as expected. I didn’t miss the moment Milia’s eyes moved. Right. The direction Millia’s eyes pointed.
I turned her head and looked to her right. The land with tombstones just like the front. Outwardly, nothing is different. But since Millia looked that way, the door was probably on that side.
It could be that she is deceiving me with a high level of psychological warfare, but when she saw Milia staring at me as if she was still drooling and asking why she wouldn’t give me something to eat, that thought disappeared like snow.
I have no doubts.
No matter how you look at it, it’s as intelligent as a mutt in the neighborhood, but what kind of psychological warfare is it?
“What, what? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“…Nothing.”
I put her dried meat into Milia’s mouth.
“What are you going to do now?”
“I don’t think it would be a good idea to wipe it all out.”
“For now, we have to find the way down. You’d better hide first.”
Is there any other passage other than here for zombies to go up to the ground?
It would be nice if there was, but unfortunately it didn’t seem like that.
I pointed at the zombies and skeletons who suddenly started walking towards me.
“They are coming.”
