Chapter 22-Unaware Weak Magic and Magic Bags

(TL:By Rafael)

I stepped into the "Ione Ruins Labyrinth" with the "Cantera of Discernment" in hand.

The Labyrinth of Ione Ruins is an oval shape, almost rectangular, with each level having the same shape.

The center part is a large atrium, like a distorted donut.

Along the outer edge of the passageway are rooms of various sizes, reminding us of the remnants of a huge commercial facility that this place used to be.

However, now that it has become a labyrinthine dungeon, we are greeted not by smiling shopkeepers, but by demonic monsters.

"It's brighter than I thought."(Marina)

"Yeah, because the ceiling collapsed and the sun is shining."(Yuki)

Maybe that's why the labyrinth is quite overgrown with plants.

You have to be careful not to be taken by surprise by demons.

"There is one usable staircase at each end of the labyrinth, east and west."(Yuki)

"That means we have to get to the end. Wouldn't it be faster to take the rope down the stairwell there?"(Marina)

"There were others who thought so, but you should check out ......."(Yuki)

I picked up a reasonable stone at my feet and threw it into the stairwell.

The stone that was supposed to fall downward twisted in the middle and eventually disappeared.

"Wow, ......, did something go wrong?"(Marina)

"In ancient times, it was probably really a stairwell, but it's probably because it's ...... labyrinthine, and the phases are distorted. Be careful not to fall in.

Marina nodded her head.

I'm glad you're being so honest.

"There are many small rooms and no escape. It's hard to avoid encounters with demonic monsters, so be careful."(Yuki)

"Yes."(Silk)

"Okay."(Marina)

"......"(Rain)

Rain still seems to be in bad and sulky mood.

What the hell is causing this?

What the hell did I do ......?

(TL: I can tell but what's the fun in that )

"Rain. If I did something wrong, I want to apologize, so tell me what you're upset about."(Yuki)

"Mm. ......"(Rain)

Marina and Silk gushed lightly at my troubled face.

"No, Yuki. I think she's mad because you didn't do anything."(Marina)

"You don't know what a woman's heart is, do you, sensei?"(Silk)

"Hmm?"(Yuki)

What do they mean?

Rain walks in front of me, bewildered, and spreads her arms as if to show me her new outfit.

"What do you think?"(Rai)

"It looks good on you. You've changed the color of the ribbon to match your outfit, right?....It's also very cute."(Yuki)

"......!"(Rain)

Rain's face turned red, and she gave me a hug.

"Oh, hey, ......, what's wrong?"(Yuki)

"Yuki, you've gone too far. Don't put a weakness spell on Rain."(Marina)

"That's right, sensei"

What the hell did I do to deserve this ......?

(TL: Nothing much, just a mc of harem novel)

◇.

Once we had regained our composure, we proceeded smoothly to the first and second underground levels.

We encountered some demonic monsters along the way, but we were able to eradicate them without much trouble, and the items we found in the treasure chest in the small room on the way made Rain's mood even better.

"Ehehe ......"(Rain)

Rain patted the pouch on her waist in a good mood.

Yes, luckily I was able to get my hands on a magic bag.

It's not a lot of capacity, but it's a magical artifact from the labyrinth, and it has a high performance and quality retention feature.

"Good for you, Rain!"(Marina)

"Yes. But are you sure you want me to have it?"(Rain)

"Of course!　　Besides, it's better for the rear guard to have these things, right?"(Marina)

Marina seems to not be thinking about it, but surprisingly, she understands it very well.

Indeed, even if a vanguard like Marina had a magic bag magic bag, it would be difficult to use it in battle, and more importantly, it could be damaged by a demon attack.

If that's the case, then it's better if Silk or Rain should have it.

I gave it to Rain this time, but eventually I would like to prepare a magic bag for Silk to store arrow shells.

"Whoa, everybody stop. It's a trap."(Yuki)

A phosphorescent light rises from a part of the floor illuminated by the blue light of the cantera.

It's probably the type that causes some sort of phenomenon when you step on it.

Now, can we avoid it?

"...... No, let's pull it out."(Yuki)

It would be silly to leave it there and get caught on the way back.

I pull out a ten-foot pole from my magic bag magic bag and turn around.

"Back up a little. I don't know what kind, but I'll activate it and eliminate it."(Yuki)

"Are you sure about this?"(Marina)

"Just make sure you're ready to move at a moment's notice."(Yuki)

After making sure that the three of them were at a distance.

I poked the floor in question with a stick, heard a click, and immediately realized what the trap was.

Suddenly, a large number of spears shot out from the floor in random piles.

It was a relatively common trap, but if you got caught in it, you wouldn't get away with it.

It was a good decision to crush them.

"Okay, we're good. ......"(Yuki)

When I illuminated it again with the cantera of detection, the triggering part of the trap had disappeared.

Fortunately, the gap between the spears seemed to be safe enough to pass through, so I'd let him go through.

Just in case, I'll go through first.

"No problem. Please go through."(Yuki)

"Yes, sir."(Silk)

Silk, Rain, and finally Marina come through the gap between the spears.

This new armor is designed to fit the body relatively well, so it may be able to handle such situations.

It might have been a good footage for the client.

"The stairs are just around the corner. Let's take a break for a bite to eat when we get there."(Yuki)

"What's the soup of the day?"(

"You'll have to ask the [Regular hot potSoup stock] ."

Chuckling, he smiled softly as he replied, "I hope Rain's favorite food is served."

Good, good, Everything seem to be back on track.

"No, it's not fair if it's only Rain! I'm having my favorite dish today!"(Marina)

"I'd like milk stew."(Rain)

In the midst of this relaxed way of going ......, there were some not-so-good people in front of the stairs we were heading for.
