Isnt it strange?
Roxanne says when we resume our morning hunting routine.
What is strange, exactly?
Theres a person ahead. At such a time as this no less. This person was there yesterday at the same location and the day before yesterday as well.
Its indeed strange for someone to be at the same location in the Labyrinth everyday. Well, we too hunt at the same location for quite an extended period of time as well, so I guess were not the ones to talk about it so casually, huh?
Is it perhaps a monster that smells like human?
I havent heard of such a monster, and if it really existed, then it would have been pretty scary. So far, I have been avoiding that location because of masters orders to stay out of the places that are frequented by humans, but at this point I think that it might be unavoidable for us to go there if we want to proceed any further on this floor.
I dont think the Knight Order will help anyone other than the Duke and his family, even if they asked for help.
Sherry advises against asking the Knight Order for help.
They wont help? Whys that?
Because protecting people like master is not their duty.
Because Master is a Freeman.
Roxanne supports Sherry with her words.
I see. So they have no obligation to help the Freemen?
Yes, because Freemen are supposed to protect themselves. That way, they can preserve their privileges as the Freemen. If a Freeman requests protection from someone, they lose their rights as a Freeman. For them, asking for protection is not the best idea, because it would be the same as selling yourself into slavery.
Sherry explains further. I dont quite understand this but it seems to be a bad idea. What I do understand though is that theres no such thing as police in this world, so I am forced to protect myself if anything happened to me.
Protect myself? I have to protect myself, without counting for anyone to come to my aid? But, Isnt that my right? Isnt that the Knights duty to protect anyone equally?!
Well, Its not like I actually need protection, but having them on my side would certainly help. However, help from anyone is never free. If I want help, then Id have to pay for getting that help. So instead of asking for protection, cant I just have them listen to me? Even though I am a Freeman, even though I am supposed to protect myself, if I say something in this regard, then maybe theyll at least listen to me?
Is that so?
Therefore, I think it would be best if we broke through on our own.
So Sherry is in favor of doing something brave as well? Is such an attitude considered rational in this world?

Miria says that shes in favor of breaking through as well.
Okay then.
When Roxanne translates our discussion to Miria, she nods as well. Im not sure anymore whats right and whats not, but if thats what they want, then thats what well do.
Itll be alright, master. Theres only one Bandit. And we are not that weak either.
I think so too. Bandits set up ambushes with the strength of normal Parties in mind. On the twelfth floor, Parties normally take considerable time to take even one monster out. We, on the other hand, take monsters out a lot quicker. Miria and I may be weak links of the Party but against Bandits we should be able to hold our own against them just fine.
When Sherry says the same thing as Roxanne, it really begins to sound rational to me.
Should we break through on our own then?
It seems normal course of action in this world, at least. I killed Bandits in the very first village I appeared in.
