Chapter 80: You’re better off pretending not to notice that kind of thing

Oh? A dead end?

No, theres a door there. But

We just made it through a long corridor in the second floor of the dungeon.

What waited for us at the end of it was a massive double door.

Can it be the boss room?

Huh? Were already at the deepest part of this dungeon?

In every dungeon, without exception, there would always be a monster called a boss monster.

Compared to normal monsters, a boss monster was far stronger. So much so that they posed a threat even to those who have somehow explored the dungeon effortlessly thus far.

I always thought that dungeons were made up of many, many floors. But for the boss monster to be here, maybe dungeons are smaller than what I expected them to be.

Although theres only two floors, these two floors are quite complicated. If we explored it normally, we might still be in the first floor, maybe even going in circles. Its not an exaggeration to say that its thanks to Kamuru-donos guidance that weve made this far so quickly.

T-theres no way

To Philia-sans praise, Kamuru-san scratched his head, shyly trying to deny it.

As expected, the [Labyrinth Exploration] Gift was truly useful.

So, what do you propose we do, Luke-dono? As far as I can tell, everyone still has strength to spare, but it is a fight with a boss monster were talking about.

Hmmhow about we go in just to look at what kind of monster were up against? If it looks to be too tough for us, lets escape right away.

Thanks to my Gift, buying us enough time to escape shouldnt be that hard.

And so, we decided to open the doors. Inside was a space wider than any weve seen within the dungeon. In addition

Two minotaurs?

Over there

Selen sounded so uncertain when she said so.

Meanwhile, Kamuru-san pointed at something he noticed further in the room

When I looked at it, I saw some kind of extravagant box.

Philia-san spoke next.

Its a treasure chest. Likely the reward for overcoming the dungeon.

There doesnt seem to be any traps in it.

Both Marco-san and Kamuru-san said they didnt sense any traps from the chest, so we immediately opened it.

Its

An ordinary sword?

Inside the chest was a very ordinary steel sword.

Eh? Maybe its a sword that has some kind of special effect.

Doesnt seem like it though

This reward for completing the dungeon felt extremely cheap.

Mythical-grade items would obviously be preferred, but I thought that the reward should at least be legendary-grade items.

Oh well, at least its sharp. Lets just take it, I guess.

Hold on. This clearly isnt a suitable reward for completing the dungeon. I think we should negotiate with the dungeon master.

Negotiate?
