Episode 5.2-3-4

"Co on in, co on in! We've got all kinds of potions, for cheap! Not to ntion normal dicines. You'd regret it if you don't get them here!"

"Is there anyone who can attack from a distance! We are a five person party looking to recruit soone with ranged attacks if possible!"

"You can find guides here! Leave it to us up to floor 10! Oh so you have maps? Do your maps have info about magic beasts' weak points? Do they tell you what equipnt you need for the next floor? Do they teach you the knacks to raise spawn rate of treasure chests? We can even carry your luggage! How about it, how do you like veteran guides!"

It's really lively.

Lecan is not familiar with dungeons like this.

However, he doesn't dislike this atmosphere.

Lecan has just arrived at this town. By chance, he got up early, left early, and ran too fast in high spirits and ended up arriving before noon.

There is no entry tax to enter this town. There's not even a wall nor guards. Only a huge signboard, written with at the town entrance.

There was no need to even ask soone where the dungeon was. You'd naturally arrive at it if you just followed the flow of traffic toward the liveliness.

At any rate, the dungeon's entrance is extraordinarily wide. It's split in two, with the right side being the entrance, and left the exit.

The entrance has been fenced for about 50 steps. The space inside the fence seems to be a trade-free area, filled with four guards, people coming into the entrance to the right flow endlessly, as do people coming out of the exit to the left.

The area outside the fence is filled with people selling equipnt, doing maintenance, looking for companions, and people selling food, consumable goods and information, and further outside of all these are rows of shops. Shops selling stuff indispensable for dungeon explorations. Lecan was tempted to take a peek at the weapon shops and drugstores, but managed to convince himself to save it for later.

The space outside the exit fence is populated with those seeking to buy materials, calling for people who need treatnt, and offering appraisal service. And outside the area is a jumble of material processing shops, purchasing shops, dical centers, rest area, repair shops, and eateries. The purchasing shops have signboards signifying that they're specializing in magic gems, weapons, and stuff. And further apart from there the buildings get bigger and bigger, forming into a relatively big townscape that's like a fusion between pleasure quarters and artisan district. There's also so temples. And even further from there is a building complex where huge carriages are coming in and out.

This is truly a dungeon city. A city made up of those drawn by wealth obtainable in the dungeon, who then proceed to process, consu and export those wealths.

The town itself is not that big. It's probably only around a tenth of Vouka.

However this town has the upper hands in density and liveliness of the downtown. And even though this is a small town, there seems to be a slum outside the downtown. Now that he thinks about it, Lecan has never seen a slum in Vouka even though it's a big town.

There's a lot of young adventurers, more than he thought. And their expressions are beaming.

After hearing Chaney's story, he was worried for a second about what would happen here, but at least he sees that a lot of people feels this place is worth living in. Of course, there's probably dirty stuff being carried out behind all this. But that's the sa everywhere.

There's another thing that makes Lecan happy.

Mages.

This town is filled with mana possessors. Several of them are even among those who are going to enter the dungeon right now. Soone may not necessarily be a mage just because they possess mana, however considering they've gathered around so close to a dungeon, there must be many adventurers who employ magic among these people. He's caught sights of adventurers wearing mage-like attires as well. Dungeons really gotta have mages after all.

Lecan paid no heed to the barkers and walked toward the entrance. And then a soldier who was standing guard called out to him.

"Ooh, you look like the real deal eh. And ain't that you've got there. Whoa. Where'd you co from."

"From Vouka."

"Vouka? Well okay, go on and explore inside. Be sure to grab lotsa stuff and load them off in our Golbul Town. May you have a good adventure (La Jitto Jiit)!"

"Thank you (Narou)."

Contrary to his expectations, Lecan took his first step into another world's dungeon while feeling pretty good.
