Day 41 Evening, White Weirdo Inn
It was revealed when everyone was reporting today's finds from their respective dungeon surveys.
Since listening to him usually doesn't bring any good, we put off his report, and so, for closure, we ended up listening to an absurd person that never makes sense. Of course, his story didn't betray our expectations, and was absurd, making no sense whatsoever.
It appears that he killed the dungeon that he went to inspect. Or rather, flooded it.
The person that committed the inundation testified I kind of flooded it?. Kind of, he says.
And then, he made no confirmation or follow-up check, stating as the reason Well, it's damp in there, chests can wait until tomorrow, right?, and went back just like that.
And? Did you drain the water before going back?
Yes, so I have to return there tomorrow. Aquatic monsters should still remain there, and I think undead also didn't die? Probably?
Looks like the new dungeon at a nice spot not so far from the town didn't match Haruka-kun's criteria, so he flooded it with river water, killing the dungeon and its dungeon master. Though half of the story was about BBQ?
After that, followed a talk about humidity, discomfort levels, mold, and water damage?
It seems that he is seeing dungeons through the prism of construction.
What we are seeing is an issue with Haruka-kun though?
An issue with his criteria for dungeons.
And then there is that dungeon master, that died without us finding out even their species or even seeing their face.
By the way, Haruka-kun's friends, who knew him for a long time, commented I knew he'd do it one of these days.
Both Haruka-kun and the villagers were overjoyed with him buying up their whole stock.
You see? There is a point to sightseeing as well? Trading is also important? And also records of agricultural information?
I'm sure even Marco-san would've been impressed with my observations? [2]
And so he kept bragging, talking about the farm village, and with the talks about the village and croquettes, the matter with the dungeon was completely forgotten. Yeah, looks like the dungeon really was killed just incidentally, while he was at it.
I mean, more than half of the remaining story was about potatoes. The first half was BBQ, the second half potatoes. During the course of a long, long story of today's events, the only line about the dungeon wasI kind of flooded it?.
Just in case we also tried to get testimony from his accomplice, Angelica-san, but all we got is her awkwardly and yet happily saying stuff likeThe scenery was beautiful, or I never tried barbeque before, but it was very delicious, or I tried grilling meat for the first time, or Cold river in such nice weather felt really goodand so on, just speaking joyfully.
Yeah, looks like they were just having a picnic. Well, good for them?
What we managed to understand is that while the newly made dungeon lot he went to see was very shabby, the nearby village was nice and had a lot of potatoes, so the trip was worth it.
And that the person that went with him enjoyed the picnic, and is very happy about today.
And also, the dungeon was destroyed through flooding.
I guess thats all? I wonder if the guild will be fine with this? Will the lord understand what they are talking about when they report this to him?
Even so, the meeting was over.
And the lecture on the outrageously outrageous matter with the dungeon was avoided. Everyone had their mouths sealed with sweet potatoes. Potatoes are girls' enemy!
Yeah, one more set?
