Chapter 72: Yeah...this is a dungeon

Selen, now that its spring, theres something Id like us to look into.

And that is?

That day, I came to ask Selen a certain favor.

To the west of the village, theres a rocky area, but theres something a little unusual about it.

In what way?

For some reason, this place isnt recognized as under my control.

Each time the village levels up, its area expands.

When it became level 6, the majority of the wasteland was considered part of the village.

However, the place I mentioned was not part of the village, even though the nearby areas and beyond were. I noticed this in the middle of the winter, but because of the snow, I decided to hold off any investigation.

By the way, I knew it was a rocky area because I was able to see it partially from an observation tower.

So, Id like us to take a closer look.

Oh, I see.

By us, I mean

No.

Before I could even say I wanted to come as well, Selen refused.

But why? The hunting team will be there, so it should be safe, right?

Even so, no. You do know youre the reason that this village even exists, right? What do you think will happen to it if you get hurt badly out there?

Come on, youre treating me like a helpless baby

Another valuable member was the one who had the Gift called [Danger Perception].

I still dont smell any monsters though

Maybe monsters are not the cause?

I dont know, but Im certain theres something going on there.

Alright, everyone, proceed cautiously.

Like that, they moved as a group toward the large boulder in the center of the rocky area.

When they eventually reached the place, they discovered something.

Is this

A cave?

At the foot of the large boulder was a large hole.

The opening was about 3 meters in height and 2 meters in width.

The group was wary, but they decided to take a peek inside. The hole sloped downwards gently and continuously. Yet, for all its depth, there didnt seem to be any kind of obstacle in the way.

Im getting a strong sense of danger from inside!

I wasnt able to before weve come here, but nowI smell the scent of monsters deep inside

Hearing those reports, Selen and Philia looked at each other.

They seemed to have arrived at the same conclusion.

theres no mistake about it, right?

Yeahthis is a dungeon.
