"What are those?"

"Those are dungeon inns."

The dungeon has finally reawakened.

Lecan was surprised to find rows of buildings around the entrance of the dungeon just as they were about to enter.

Food stalls are crowding the gaps between those buildings as if stitching them together.

"What's dungeon inns."

"They're inns where adventurers who go back above ground every two three or even every day stay at. Those adventurers will then fill their stomach at the food stalls, and stock up on so portable food before going down the dungeon once again."

Dungeons in this world are furnished with Floor Teleportation magic which is usable to anyone, even those without mana, with , enabling them to go back above ground anyti they want.

Co to think of it, Lecan overheard sothing about adventurers sleeping on ground floor at Dungeon Golbul. He also found it weird how there weren't many who camped inside the dungeon despite the number of adventurers exploring inside back then. That must be because most went back outside.

But, going back outside every single day huh.

Can you truly explore a dungeon by doing that.

Lecan asked another question to knightess Heles while thinking that.

"Do adventurers who go down the depths not camp inside?"

"That depends on the party in question. and ."

"Got it."

Eda readies her bow. Having already been used to it, she quickly poured her mana to form an arrow, and let it go hitting the magic beast's lower part.

"Ooh. A magic bow. Nice shoot."

"That's a really nice bow."

"Eda."

"Yes."

"Go fetch the magic stone."

"Yes!"

She swiftly got down, took a dagger out of her , cut the spider's abdon, grabbed the magic stone inside and ran up the hill in no ti.

"I got it here."

"Well done. I'll hold on to that."

Lecan casually dumped the magic stone in .

Eda had mastered the process of killing a magic beast and taking out their magic stone before Lecan knew it.

"Next, kill so spiders with a short sword without using your bow. Go get the two over there."

"Got it."

Eda put away her bow in the on her back, trotted down the hill, effortlessly killed the two spiders, and swiftly retrieved their magic stones before running back up. Those spiders looked small from afar, but the swollen sections on their legs are bigger than Eda's head.

They're still about a tenth the size of spiders Lecan saw in Dungeon Golbul though.

"All right. Nicely done."

"Ehehe."

"Well then, next go collect so threads."

"Ah, Lecan-dono."

"What is it."

"You need to wait for quite long before the spiders on this floor would spit out their thread."

"She doesn't have to get a lot. Just a bit will do."

"Is that right. I have prepared this here for storing magic beasts' materials."

"That'll help. Eda. Go get it."

"Un!"

Eda provoked the spider below and proceeded to keep dodging the spider' attacks for a while.

The spider eventually stopped moving, turned around and began shaking its rear toward Eda.

Then after quite so ti, pyuit, it spat out a little piece of thread.

Eda killed the spider and imdiately climbed up with the thread on hand.

The thread lost its stickiness after a while, still wrapping her hand.

Eda put the thread inside the for materials Heles prepared.

As they arrived at the stairway down on the first floor, Lecan turned around, closed his eyes and slightly hung his head down.

"Hey, Lecan. You did the sa thing before, didn't you."

"Hum?"

"That slightly bowing your head with your eyes closed thingy. You did that during the ti we were escorting Chaney and that ti we went to Vantaroy. You always do that after fight. What's that anyway?"

Being asked that, Lecan started pondering just what is the aning of this odd habit of his.

"Gratitude, I suppose."

"Gratitude?"

"For the fights and lives."

"Does everyone do that in dungeons?"

"No. Never seen anyone else besides do this."

"Oh really."

Mimicking Lecan, Eda closed her eyes and slightly hung her head down toward the first floor where she had been fighting.

Arios was listening to the conversation silently, but he too imitated them, closing his eyes and bowing slightly with his left hand placed on his sword's grip.

Heles put her right fist on her left chest and closed her eyes without bowing.

This was the mont this odd form of gratitudes toward the floor they conquered beca a tradition to this party.
