When I hand the Ancient Green Dragon En-san the Ayuyu.

「Umu umu. The raw material matches with the salt exquisitely. I can’t get enough of the fusion between Ayuyu and salt」

En-san starts talking.

Indeed, a thousand years old dragon is fussy about food.

En-san eats joyfully with melting cheeks.

「Lord, do you have more? Things like this?」

Ah.

The way it calls me changed.

From Tokugawa-san to Lord…

It may have recognized me as the main.

「Nothing else in my item box beside some monster meat」

「Nu, that is bad. It’s necessary to be devoted to food everyday」

It’s not Heroes Trial anymore, but Chef Trial instead.

But, the quality of the food is important.

I have to fulfil the clothes, food, and house.

「I will be more careful. Apart from that, En. Magic is overflowing from this room, do you know about it?」

「Nu, if it’s magic then… it’s that thing」

Tekuteku Tekuteku

En walks towards an altar and picks up a cup?

A cup leaking a light smoke?

「En-san, this is?」

「Magical Goblet. I was supposed to hand this to the hero who beats me」

Hee~

What is this wonderful item?

The aura around it is different.

I get out of the pyramid on Ado’s back.

Dragon En-san is flying nearby.

Flying looks so convenient.

「What will you do now, Lord? Going directly to the 48th floor?」

With Ado and En-san on my side, that would be quite possible.

We have met only a few monsters so far, but I don’t think these two would loose.

「Let’s do that? En-san, do you know the way to the 48th floor?」

「・・・・・・・・」

Are?

A silent response.

I was certain for an instant reply, but En-san is playing ignorance.

「That… En-san. The way to the 48th floor, are you aware of it?」

・・・・

・・・・

Maa, the gate is on the 40th floor… that’s quite the distance.

I can think about it slowly.

The problem now is, how to get to the next level.

No choice, but to blindly look for the entrance…

「Goshujin-shama~ Goshujin-shama~」

「What’s the matter, Ado?」

「Kitsune-sans are calling us~」

「Hoou. Are moon foxes also obeying you? Good going, Lord」

There’s certainly a pack of foxes in Ado’s line of sight.

Did something happen?

Everyone looks restless.

「Ado, quickly go to them」

When we approach the foxes.

「Tokugawa-san, Tokugawa-san, it’s terrible…」

The Fox boss Tsukitarou says flustered.

What happened?

When I ask about the reason…

「In the back… Isn’t that the supreme ruler-sama…」

Tsukitarou gazes behind me.

The Ancient Green Dragon was apparently noticed.

Although it’s a baby dragon right now…

They may have sensed it from the aura.

「Yes, it became our companion. I would like you to get along well」

「I don’t dare. A respect must always be shown to the supreme ruler-sama」

「Nu, good attitude. Respect me」

「Waha~」

Tsukitarou lowers its head.

En-san’s influence in this jungle might be quite high.

Enough to be called a supreme ruler-sama.

「Tsukitarou, you said there’s some trouble?」

「Yes. In fact, the Triceratops Tortoise came to the den…」

Triceratops…

That huge tortoise, huh…

We hurry towards the den.
