(TL:By Rafael)

After the extra time we had spent on the Besio Salas case, we made preparations for our re-entry that day ...... in a great hurry.

After all, Simon and the others had taken away my weapons, and I didn't have my magic bag, which I mainly used.

I really had to start from scratch.

On top of that, the Adventurer's Guild seemed to be a bit reluctant to help me with this.

In the first place, the Colorless Darkness is not a labyrinthine dungeon that is open to the public, even though it has been temporarily unsealed.

I know that it is an objective judgment that rescuing members of Thunderpike, who are now criminals and have snuck into the labyrinth with illegal magic tools and artifacts, is just a useless risk. ......

"I've finished preparing the weapons. The armor is being repaired and adjusted."(Marina)

"We've got all the medicines on the list. We've got enough food for six people for three days!"(Silk)

"The magic scrolls are ready."(Rain)

While the rest of the team was getting ready, I was making some magic artifacts and magic scrolls, which are hard to find in the market.

Some things are faster to make than to search the market.

"I'm ready, too! We can leave right now!"(Nene)

"Don't be in such a hurry. The most important thing is not ready yet."(Yuki)

Yes, the most important thing we need, the Scroll of Exit, is still unavailable.

It's a rare item, and one that no party with an alchemist would be willing to part with.

It's not the kind of thing you can easily find by asking Guildmaster Benwood.

As I looked out the window, the sun was beginning to set and I was growing impatient, I suddenly heard a knock at the door.

I was a bit defensive because of the incident with Besio Salas, but the guest immediately introduced himself and asked us a question.

"My name is Lucent, from the party "Scordia. Is Yuki Ferdio with you?"(Lucent)

When we opened the door, there was indeed Lucent, the leader of the A-rank party "Scordia".

"It's nice to meet you in person. Yuki Ferdio."(Lucent)

"Yes. I've  also heard a lot about you."(Yuki)

Scordia is one of the top-ranked parties here in Finis.

They are a party of quality and sturdiness, and they participated in the investigation of the Colorless Darkness.

" I heard a rumor that you were looking for this."(Lucent)

He took out a scroll from his bag: ...... [Scroll of Exit].

"Are you going to challenge the Colorless Darkness again?"(Lucent)

"Yes, I will. It's just not the same as before."(Yuki)

"That's what I came to ask. It seems that the Guild intends to reseal the Colorless Darkness."(Lucent)

I haven't heard anything about that yet.

"Would you be willing to give it to me that......?"(Yuki)

Lucent is not the kind of guy who comes all the way down here just to show off.

Scordia is the embodiment of a good old-fashioned adventuring party.

Even now that they are ranked A, they still accept requests for a single copper coin.

"Yuki Ferdio. I ask you. For what purpose do you challenge the Colorless Darkness?"(Lucent)

"To save my friend."(Yuki)

"Are you referring to the Thunderpikes?"(Lucent)

I shake my head at Lucent's cold words.

"You could say that,  she was in Thunderpike." Still, ...... she saved our lives and I've got to go."(Yuki)

"─ Okay, go."(Lucent)

Lucent tosses me the Scroll of Exit and turns his back on me.

"What's the price for giving me this...... thing?"(Yuki)

"If you know what an adventurer needs to take care of the most, that's fine. If you can get it back, go get it back."(Lucent)

(TL:Lucent respect +++)

Lucent disappeared into the crowd, leaving behind a line I had heard somewhere.

"He's a weird person, isn't he?"(Rain)

Rain, who was watching our exchange from behind, nodded her head.

"I'm sure he understands how you feel, Yuki-san. I heard that when Lucent-san was just starting out, his party was once half destroyed in a dungeon."(Silk)

"...... I see ......"(Yuki)

I might still be able to make it.

I'll gratefully accept the senior's favor here.

"We'll all take a break when we're ready."(Yuki)

"Shouldn't we go right away?"(Nene)

"If we're going to adhere to the theory of labyrinthine dungeon work, we'll have to do our own pre-entry maintenance first. We'll get six hours of sleep and head for the guild as soon as the sun comes up."(Yuki)

Those six hours could ruin Jamie's life.

If I was alone, I would have left at this time, but if the four of them were to follow me, then as the leader of Clover, I would have to be fully prepared for their deaths.

"My preparations are complete."(Silk)

"Me, too."(Marina)

"I'm ready to go, too!"(Nene)

"No problem."(Rain)

They nodded to each other, confirming that all preparations had been made.

"I'm going to bed."(Marina)

"Me too."(Nene)

Marina walked up the stairs in a hurry.

Nene followed suit and disappeared down the stairs.

"You should get some sleep too, Yuki-san."(Silk)

"I know."(Yuki)

I nodded back to Silk and  followed them up the stairs, while I checked in the corner of my mind the items I was unprepared for.

...... As if she knew what I was thinking, Rain grabbed my hand and pulled me along.

"I'm still a little busy  ......"(Yuki)

"No. Yuk is the one who needs to be in top form."(Rain)

Rain gave a small sigh, then stood tall and ...... pinched my nose.

It seems like a long time ago, but I think she did the same thing to me before we took on the Colorless Darkness.

"Come on, let's go. If you're scared, nervous, or anxious, let's do it together. No matter what happens, I'm ...... on your side."(Rain)

"Oh, okay."(Yuki)

I went up the stairs with Rain holding hands and fell asleep.
