Day 102: Which passage is the right one?
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Seven Night Horses, 24th day.
Weather: ???
We somehow managed to enter the dungeon, and so we would explore it today while relying on Mr. Bran’s map. But the layout was a little different, so we had to proceed carefully.
This dungeon was similar to a cave.
The walls and floor were rough rock.
It was difficult to walk in the darkness, but thankfully, there is some light in this dungeon.
Apparently, the walls and ground contained some glowing ore.
This really was an unusual dungeon.
And so I was quite happy that we would be able to navigate it easily, but…
A problem occurred as the passage branched out in front of us… There were three on the map.
However, there were eight in front of us now… That’s five too many!
…Did I read the map wrong?
I wondered as I looked at it frantically. However, there was no passage that split into eight on it anywhere.
In other words, they must have been created after this map was issued.
Relying on an old map while going into a dungeon really was no good.
Things had gone well in the abandoned mines, so I had been hopeful… I very much regret it now.
As I tried to think about what to do, Mr. Mavro walked on ahead.
Hey!? Wait a minute!
While I looked surprised, he just snorted smugly.
Don’t tell me… You can tell by the scent?!
I asked, and then Mr. Mavro chuckled… D-do you mean it?
In any case, we decided to follow Mr. Mavro into the middle one.
After walking down the passage for some time, Mr. Mavro suddenly stopped.
Ms. Noa and Mr. Bran also seemed to notice something…I had a bad feeling about it.
I put my hand on my short sword, ready to unsheath it if necessary.
Ms. Nico took the kelpy and waited behind us.
After some time had passed, what appeared from the shadows was a demihuman with a boar head.
An orc!!
Such things appeared on the first floor in this dungeon!?
Without a moment to even look surprised, the orc ran straight towards us.
And it was carrying a giant axe!
As it approached and swung, I dodged it by a hair’s breadth.
I tried to cut the right hand that gripped the axe, but the orc stopped me with his left hand.
But while it was open, Ms. Noa targeted its stomach with her attack magic!
A giant ice spear pierced into it!
However, the orc did not fall. It let out a shout and then raised its axe into the air once again.
But just then, a shadow came up from behind!
It was Mr. Mavro! He leapt and sunk his fangs into the orcs neck.
The orc groaned and fell slowly to the ground.
Once he was sure that it had stopped breathing, Mr. Mavro let go.
That was amazing. So this is the ability of a Cu Sith.
As I was stunned by the bravery, I heard Mr. Mavro mutter to himself about being able to eat good meat today.
…Wait, did he choose this path because he wanted to eat meat?
When I asked him, he turned away with an innocent expression… Hey! You!!
Hmph! We have to get out of here as soon as possible!!
Today’s earnings and expenses:
Nothing.
