Chapter 257 – In the Dungeon

#

After that, the march continued without incident. In the middle, Yuri stroked her tail as if to ask for attention, and there was nothing special about it, except for Lenny occasionally flashing her eyes of her.

Just as it was about to end, Tina stopped her group.

“Hmm. You can’t be a noble. You show up as soon as the story comes out.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Look over there.”

I looked in the direction Tina pointed her finger at. In the middle of a sheer cliff, there was a huge stone gate that could only be seen in a documentary. It’s embarrassing. An artifact like this out of nowhere in a dungeon?

“What is that?”

“Did you tell me yesterday? In dungeons, mysterious ruins sometimes appear.”

“Aha.”

“Is that it?”

A huge gate dug out of a cliff. It is a huge and magnificent figure that can be seen in ancient Egyptian ruins.

“Hot!”

Lenny made a startled noise and pointed to the center of the door.

“What’s the matter?”

“That… Is clearly the pattern of the church. Although the shape is slightly different.”

Indeed, the pattern decorating one side of the door was worn and faint, but there was no great difficulty in recognizing it.

It is the pattern of the church. Why is there a sign of a church in a place like this?

The sign of the church here looks like a cross extending from top to bottom with several diagonal lines drawn on it. Overall, it can be seen as rectangular or elliptical. According to Lenny, it was shaped like light or something.

However, the pattern here looked like a circle or a square.

“I can’t be so disrespectful… “

I heard a low voice, and when I turned around, Lenny was unusually displeased.

Is it strange that the church’s symbol is in the dungeon?

“It’s not like that. Look at that.”

At the opposite door were concentric circles, hollow inside. A simple form without any decorations.

“What is that?”

“It is the symbol of the demon.”

How dare you put the symbol of the Demon God on the same level as the Goddess? Well. Lenny felt a little seriously angry.

So the Christian cross and the Islamic…Islam doesn’t have a symbol. Anyway, is it the feeling of putting opposite poles against each other together? It’s a sensation that I can’t understand unless I don’t believe in God.

However, the scale was too large to see that it was just for the purpose of disrespect and displeasure. It was a door that took a lot of effort.

No, it’s not something at the level of hard work. Seeing something like this and saying ‘You’ve worked hard’ is the same as devaluing the pyramid and saying ‘It’s just a big tomb’.

So, who made such a large-scale history?

“Dungeons not only create monsters, but also ruins like this?”

“It could be. Or maybe someone left it. You’ll know that when you go in.”

I was taken aback by Tina’s answer to her.

“Do you want to go in?”

“A. No way. Do you know what will happen to you if you go in?”

Tina shrugged her shoulders.

“It would be suicidal to enter a place like this without preparation. Once you enter some ruins, you may not be able to come out until certain conditions are met.”

“Specific conditions?”

“Yeah, something like killing a monster in the depths, or picking up an item. Conditions are all different from time to time. It’s none of our business anyway.”

Tina said and glanced at the door.

“We have work to do. Just checking the location and reporting it. In the first place, these large-scale ruins are not something we can touch. Zinnia?”

When Tina called, Zinnia quickly marked the map. This idiot still wasn’t taking on the role of leader in her form. I thought she was indecisive and reckless, but she’s also cautious in her own way.

…But why was he so humiliated in the slime dungeon?

“Great. Then, since it is late, shall we camp here tonight?”

Cheer. Yuri’s eyes are fierce. This is it. It means that you have to continue what you did yesterday and continue today.

Like an idiot. Don’t you think she’s going to pay the price for harassing me like that at dawn? Or does she think taking her turn is more important than that?

In any case, I am also a child. In addition, since there is a penalty for estrus, I can’t just skip it today.

“Hmm. Hmm. Then, as we said yesterday, we will keep a vigil today. I’m sorry that I’m always indebted to you.”

“Are you okay? Somehow, I feel like I really want to stay vigil…”

Okay. To be precise, I’m interested in the side effects that follow while staying vigil.

Tina tilted her head.

“Are you… Old?”

“What do you mean?”

“No, why do old people say they don’t sleep at dawn? And there are also rumors that black hair has a lot of baby face. Then, should I raise my words from now on?”

“…”

“It’s a joke.”

Tina patted her on the shoulder and went off to unpack their things.

Like this damn guy. I heard a suffocating sound from the side, so I turned around and Yuri was holding back a laugh. OK. I know you’re not kidding today.

“If something happens, don’t hesitate to wake me up.”

“Yeah, don’t worry.”

After dinner, everything that got in the way went to his tent. Now is the time to do the most important thing of the day while staying vigil among ourselves.

Great. I’ll let Yuri and I stand first. Then Lenny, then Ariel.

Even if I didn’t have to tell you why, I would have understood this. While standing with Yu-Ri, he had a lightly enjoyable time, and after passing it over to Lenny, he enjoyed it in earnest and went to sleep.

You may be a little tired, but with Sex Recovery, you can stay up all night for a day or two. Come to think of it, even when I was in the mansion, my sleep time was short. The kids took turns spending the night, but I didn’t.

Ariel had a pensive look on her, and Lenny’s lips were slightly pouting in displeasure.

“Sister, wait a minute.”

“Yes?”

“Just try intervening today. If you keep being mean like this, next time it’s your real sister’s turn, I don’t know what.”

Guy Yuri, after grabbing Lenny and talking about something, he’s putting in useless restraints again… Well, honestly, Lenny intervened a lot without her front of her.

Lenny’s expression became a little teary-eyed.

“It wasn’t anyone’s turn yesterday!”

“Huh, heh. That’s why you stayed quiet yesterday! I’m talking about the overall attitude!”

“Isn’t Yuri-ssi being secretly selfish?! He talks like he’s only going to sleep next to him, and then secretly…! I even stayed out all night without saying anything before!”

“Well, why are you talking about that?!”

Miss Lenny. I seldom lose. Miss Lenny who is serious about sex…

But who is selfish to whom?

He also cuts in line whenever he has a chance, and he says that he took a chance on a topic like that. Normally, when I was shot at by Yuri like that, I would beg for help. Will Lenny grow up too?

“…”

No. It’s not like that. I’ve seen that attitude before. When we’re together, it’s as if something’s not working out, I’m subtly in a bad mood, and I’m dissatisfied with something…

Lenny is frustrated right now!

I’ve been in a bad mood since before!

“Hmm. Hmmmm.”

“Yes?”

While I was thinking about whether I should intervene between the two of them, Ariel suddenly pulled me.

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s about the area where we have to keep watch and keep an eye on it… “

The place where we were located was moderately away from the ruins, with the back of the cliff. It is a location where there is enough distance to react to anything protruding from the ruins, but there is not too much difficulty in monitoring.

“Isn’t it dangerous to watch at night with only your eyes? So I’m thinking of using the magic to detect the surroundings.”

“Sense magic?”

“Yes.”

Ariel continued her explanation. It was possible to lay fine threads of mana around it like a spider web and make a sound when it sensed movement.

“Hmmmm. Something like that. Unless an artifact is used, magic can only be used when the caster’s consciousness is clear, but in the case of this magic, it can be used even while sleeping.”

Ariel kept glancing at me and dragging her words her. What? Do you mean praise?

“Well. Okay. That’s great.”

– It’s okay.

“…”

Isn’t this

Ariel was still staring at me blankly.

But if you look at me like that, I have nothing more to say. No matter how much I’ve mastered women’s hearts, that’s limited to sex. If you want something, you don’t know unless you say it in words.

Returning her blank gaze, Ariel gave a small sigh and opened her mouth again.

“…I’ve said it before, but I’m devoting most of my mana to Niel through mana sharing.”

“Yes.”

“But if you use detection magic, it’s certain that your mana will run out soon.”

“Is it? That’s right.”

Since Ariel is getting all her mana her from Niel, it would be difficult to use any kind of magic continuously. Ariel confirmed my understanding and continued.

“That’s why, it sounds like you need a way to expedite the recharge of mana overnight.”

“What is that… Ah.”

Now I get it Is there any way to expedite the recharge of mana? If it’s a wizard, they say there’s something called mana charging, and physically, there must be a mana potion. But he had only one reason to bring me up. He said It’s telling me to use sex recovery.

“Uh, um, so… You want to sleep together?”

Ariel turned her head away, but it was clear what she meant by the redness in her ears. She has a habit of talking back to this guy too. But today um…

Ariel, seeing my hesitation, added.

“There are bigger problems than that.”

“A bigger problem?”

“The duration of the amplification.”

“Duration… Ah.”

Right. Come to think of it, the maximum duration of the buff is 72 hours. And Ariel… It’s over soon.

This is embarrassing. If we don’t do it tonight, Ariel will have to walk around all day tomorrow with no buffs. A wizard who can’t use magic. Besides, he has no guarantee that even if it is tomorrow night, she will be able to cast amplification.

Mmm. It’s not just one or two problems.

Originally, it was Yuri’s turn today, but Lenny seemed in a bad mood to let it go. But what about Ariel?

Lenny is dissatisfied because his needs are not satisfied, Yuri is dissatisfied that his turn is delayed, and Ariel is anxious that the buff will end soon.

….Then there is only one way.

I opened my mouth, trying to calm my trembling voice.

“Hmm. Hmm. Then, shall we all do it together?”
