Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~ Chapter 420

Dungeon of Scorching Heat

Before heading into the dungeon, we listened to Syl and the other Gods requests. After imdiately making and delivering what they asked for, we finally decided to head to the Dungeon of Scorching Heat.

Ojiisama, we are off!

Obaasama, we are off!

Take care of yourselves.

Dont push yourselves too hard and avoid getting hurt, okay?

Ye~s.

Perhaps because they knew we were going to an advanced dungeon, both Matthias-san and Rebecca-san had worried expressions.

Takumi-kun, make sure to contact us imdiately if anything happens.

Takumi-san, take care, okay?

Yes. Well then, were off.

We had inford the mbers of the Ruven and Risner families about the teleportation magic tool and were instructed to contact them imdiately if anything happened. Moreover, arrangents were made for exchanging letters between the two families and us through the royal family.

The efficiency of these arrangents left speechless.

We are off~

With that, we departed and, after a few hours, quickly arrived at the location of the Dungeon of Scorching Heat.

We are here~!

(Im looking forward to it~)

(Niichan, lets go in quickly!)

(Krrr~)

As soon as the children reached the entrance, they tried to enter inside.

Now, now, take a short break first!

Though they might not have exhausted their physical and ntal strength, it was still not advisable to rush in like that.

Lets hydrate first. What about snacks?

We will eat them~~~

So, we took a rest before continuing our journey.

Can we go now?

Yes, yes. Since this dungeon is hot, make sure to drink water frequently even after entering.

(((((Okay~)))))

(Krr!)

Just as I was about to say, Lets go, a problem arose.

Ah!

Whats!?

Uwah!

As we reached the entrance, we collided with people coming out of the dungeon, and they let out surprised voices.

These are my contracted beasts!

Seeing them preparing their weapons with surprise, I shouted to stop them.

Contracted beasts?

Yes. Im sorry for startling you. They wont attack without reason!

I reassured the adventurers, who still seed half in doubt.

Phew~ that was close. I thought I was going to die!

We were just about to exit the dungeon, so we let our guard down.

Although we were also completely off guard, it seed the other party had been careless because they were leaving the dungeon.

This is amazing~

Its my first ti seeing A-rank and S-rank monsters up close like this!

Nono, seeing them up close would an early death!

The five male adventurers cald down and began to observe Joule and the others.

Ah, sorry. We didnt an to stare like that.

Umm its your first ti seeing them, so

I think its natural for the people we introduced Joule and the others to be curious. After all, creatures like Fenrir and Celestial Tiger are rarely seen.

As long as they dont have malicious or disdainful looks, both I, Joule and the others wont get upset, of course.

You, are you Setsuna by any chance?

Huh!? Ehh!? Why!?

Oh, did I hit the mark? The rumors were just too spot-on, so I thought it must be true.

Rumors.

--- ---

It seed they knew about from the rumors.

They seed to know about through the rumors.

Well when talking about a black-haired man with a blue-haired twins and several familiars, then that would be , I suppose~

Yeah, thats right. Theres not so many people who would fit those exact conditions. Oh, Im Siegfried, the leader of the party Ice Blade. Call Sieg.

The other mbers greeted us one after another.

They were adventurers stationed in the town of Gista near the Dungeon of Scorching Heat, forming a B-rank party with two A-rank and three B-rank mbers. They all had a friendly vibe, and the conversation flowed easily.

Your nickna, is Ice Blade, Sieg-san!?

Yeah, our partys na doubles as our leaders nickna!

Oscar, youre so loud! Warren is like that, too!

Warren-sans nickna is Absolute Zero because of how cold he is to everyone~

It seems there are various reasons behind peoples nicknas.

In that regard, Takumi-kuns Setsuna is pretty cool.

You think so?

I always thought it was just embarrassing, so I never considered if it was cool or not.

Well, I dont think its uncool, though.

Nicknas tend to stick and spread without you even realizing it. Theres nothing you can do about it.

Thats true.

Sieg-san sighed deeply. He didnt seem completely satisfied with his own nickna.

By the way, I assu you guys are here to enter the dungeon? You are taking the kids with you?

Yes, thats the plan But is the dungeon really that hot?

Well, at the beginning, its not so bad, but it gets hotter the deeper you go. We manage to progress thanks to our ice and wind magic, but its still challenging.

I see.

So, the dungeon lives up to its na.

Weve prepared so counterasures, and we have a child who can use ice magic, so well try to go as far as we can safely.

Dont push yourselves too hard.

Of course not. Sorry for keeping you guys here for so long. We should be on our way soon.

Sorry for keeping you too. If we et in Gista, lets have a al together!

Sure, wed love that.

As the kids were still waiting impatiently, I decided to wrap up the conversation with the Ice Blade party.

Sorry for making you wait.

After parting ways with Sieg-san and his party, I approached the kids who had gathered in one spot, and they seed a little uneasy.

Eh, whats wrong?

(Niichan, Im sorry for being careless.)

( We knew there were people in the dungeon, but we couldnt tell where they were.)

(I never thought they would be this close.)

(Im sorry, Takumi Nii!)

Joule, Feat, Bolt, and Mile seed down because they couldnt sense the presence of others until we bumped into them.

Radian, being a child, didnt understand why everyone was feeling down. Thats fine. But is it okay for Vector to be so nonchalant about it? Well, hes Vector, after all Can I just leave it at that?

Dont worry about it too much. I didnt notice either

Alen didnt sense anything either~

Elena is the sa~

I tried sensing the inside of the dungeon from the outside, and while I could faintly feel the presence of people, I had no idea where they were.

Joule, could you try entering the dungeon for a bit? You dont have to go far.

(Sure thing~)

I had a thought and asked Joule alone to enter the dungeon. As he did so, it beca harder to sense his presence.

Ah~ so thats how it is after all.

Lost track of him!

Joule was clearly visible to my eyes, yet the location of his presence was distorted.

Joule, its okay now. Thanks.

(No problem at all. But its strange. Even from my side, I couldnt really sense you guys well~ And not just your presence, but even your scent!)

It seems that sensing each others presence from the outside to the inside of the dungeon and vice versa is difficult.

Truly, dungeons are mysterious places.

See, its not sothing to worry about. Its not anyones fault. From now on, whenever we enter or leave a dungeon, lets rember that this can happen.

(((((Okay!)))))

(Krr!)

I reassured everyone that they shouldnt worry too much and let the matter rest.
