「Wah! Is… is it really okay for to do that?!」
「It’s fine, because it’s master that we’re talking about.」
Is Roxanne really trying to persuade her like this? Because I don’t even have the energy to follow her up anymore.
「Since we enter the Labyrinth pretty much every day, we need to take care of our health and always have all the energy that we can, so you’re expected to do the sa. Taking the proper care of your own health is important for a healthy and long life, after all.」
To escape from this matter before it grows needlessly complicated, I go inside the Adventurers Guild, cast Warp, and return ho.
「All right then. Since we’re already back ho, then why don’t we go to the Labyrinth for a little while?」
「Go to the Labyrinth? Right now?」
Roxanne asks when we arrived at ho.
「Yes. I know that it might be a bit soon, but I think that Vesta should experience it as soon as possible.」
Since we ended up concluding our shopping for clothes and cooking ingredients faster than I have expected, we still have so ti left before I have to go pick Sherry and Miria up, so we might as well use that ti productively.
「All right.」
「Uhm, actually, I think…」
「Don’t worry, Vesta. Even if we were to go to the eighteenth floor, then we can deal with the monsters there without any issues, and since master is going to go with us, then it’s going to be a really smooth sailing.」
Whoa there, Roxanne, hold your goddamn horses! The eighteenth floors of the Labyrinths are the highest one that we are able to explore right now, but going there with just the three of us, and with low-levelled Vesta at that might be too much for us to swallow right now!
Well, I an, Roxanne would probably be fine even on her own, but since she’s the only one who can do that, she would just create more unnecessary problems for the two of us if she really wanted to go through with that plan of action.
After all, as a responsible Party Leader, I have to make sure to pick the floor that’s going to be comfortable for Vesta to be in and that would have monsters that would serve as a good demonstration of mine and Roxanne’s abilities…
「It’s alright, master. I want to go to the Labyrinth with you and Roxanne, no matter which floor we’re going to choose as our destination.」
I wanted to protest so more, but if Vesta herself says that she wants to go and that she should be all right, then I guess it should be fine?
「*Sigh* Fine, if you want to go with us to the eighteenth floor then we’ll go, but the more people are going to go with us, the better, so before we go there, let’s go and grab Sherry and Miria first.」
The Labyrinth is a dangerous place where we don’t know what might be waiting for us behind literally every corner, after all. If we were to go to just first or the second floor then there wouldn’t be any problems with that, but then the experience that Vesta would receive would suffer from it because it would all go too easy, giving her the false picture.
If she started taking the Labyrinth lightly because of that and ended up getting herself hurt or worse as a result, that would be sothing that I would have never forgiven myself for.
For that reason, we should go to the floor where Vesta can get the real Labyrinth experience, but at the sa ti where there wouldn’t be that many people who could see using magic or Durandal.
That being said, Sherry is definitely going to go with us when I explain the situation to her, but when it cos to Miria, I am not so sure. If she still going to be in the middle of fishing, then she might hate the idea of stopping, but I guess we’re going to see about that once we go pick her up.
「Understood!」
After receiving Roxanne’s approval, I open the warp portal on the wall in the living room and transport us to the Library in the Imperial City and walk halfway inside. No sooner than then, Sherry imdiately finds us, and cos out. Thanks to being the Party Leader I knew that she was near, but now that I think about it, Sherry always seems to be exceedingly near the entrance to the Library whenever I am coming to pick her up, so I wonder whether that is simply a coincidence or is there sothing else behind it?
Whatever the case may be, before Sherry reached the gateway of the library she stopped right next to the exit and beckoned to co closer to her with the movent of her hand.
I wonder why is she doing that instead of coming back to our side? Maybe the library of Imperial City operates on the sa principle as the the parks in my old world, by which I an that you might move around the entire facility after paying the entrance fee, but after you leave the premises, you’d have to pay the entrance fee once more to go back there again?
Anyway, I was approaching Sherry exactly like she wanted, and then…
「Drop dead and perish.」
Sherry’s lip movent seed to have suggested that this was what she was saying, but because I have been away from her I couldn’t hear if thar was exactly what she said or not. Could she really said sothing like that to … no, of course she wouldn’t do that. It must be just my imagination.
I don’t know exactly what she said because her lip movent suggested it to be Brahim… but it couldn’t have been it, right? It must have been so kind of illusion.
By chance, is it even possible to translate the movent of lips in this ga in order to understand what a person was saying when you didn’t exactly hear them all the way? Because I could really use such an ability right now.
「S-Sherry, this is Vesta. Starting from today, she is going to be our new companion.」
「Drop dead… ah, are you perhaps from the Dragonkin tribe? Because that height of your definitely indicates it…」
「Yes, I am, and you must be Sherry, I presu? Please take care of .」
「Is that so? Alright, please treat well, too.」
I don’t know why, but Sherry’s attitude beca a lot softer and gentler all of a sudden.
It would be a good thing, though, if both of them were to have a good relationship, just like Vesta has with Roxanne.
「Vesta. This faint sll of liquor is coming from Sherry.」
「Okay, master.」
「Sooo… what’s up with you coming here with her, master?」
「Roxanne suggested that we should take Vesta to the eighteenth floor of the Labyrinth, and I decided to agree to that suggestion. That being said, are you going to go there with us, Sherry. You know, since that is the eighteenth floor and is therefore very dangerous?」
I decided to paint Roxanne as the one responsible for the current Labyrinth outing, but Sherry looks like she’s dead-drunk this ti, so even if she goes there with us, is she going to be of any use?
「I understand. I just finished reading a book anyway and I was thinking about what I should do next since I was running out of ti, but now that you ca here I guess I can go with you.」
「I see.」
So Sherry is also going to go with us. That’s great to hear. However, even if she might be sowhat resistant to the harmful effects of alcohol, I should still remind her that while she’s in a drunken state, she’s prohibited from acting overconfidently.
「Here is the deposit money, master.」
Sherry passes the gold coin to while looking at with strange eyes. Is she really that drunk?
「I ask of you to take care of Vesta, okay?」
「Okay, master. If you ask so nicely, then I’m going to comply.」
「Well then, let’s go to Hafen and pick up Miria?」
「Yes, let’s go.」
I didn’t warp us right inside of the Hafen village, but rather to the forest which is close to the
Seashore where I left Miria at.
As expected, she was still fishing on the reef, and there seem to be other people nearby her, too. She seems to have attracted a lot of attention to herself.
