Chapter 110
A Labyrinth Where Monsters Live
Dungeon–It’s a labyrinth inside places such as caverns or towers, where monsters live. As one proceeded further, stronger monsters would appear. After defeating them, one could obtain raw materials.
It was said that one could obtain strong weapons or armors inside treasure chests that rarely appeared, and if one defeats the boss that lives in the innermost area, they’d be able to obtain precious treasures that couldn’t be obtained anywhere else.
Therefore, people who aimed to make quick bucks and those who wanted to test their abilities would head towards dungeons.

According to Karin-san, dungeons seemed to be created due to the accumulation of magic essence in places close to the spirits’ world.
Moreover, the power of the boss in the innermost area seemed to be different depending on the amount of their accumulated magic essence.
In other words, bosses are the strongest in the very beginning, and they’d get weaker the more they get defeated. And bosses that haven’t been defeated for some time will be strong again because it has accumulated plenty of magic essence.
The Earth Labyrinth only has five levels, so the boss inside can be defeated quickly. However, it will take quite some time to reach the boss’ location in the bigger dungeons, so it seems that the boss there will be stronger because it hasn’t been defeated in some time.
Even the boss inside the Earth Labyrinth that’s been said to be relatively easy to defeat seems to be quite a trouble to defeat after it was left alone for some time when all the adventurers went to fight the Monster King during the Monster Flood that happened eight years ago.
“Then, does that mean the boss has become very strong since it’s been left alone, undefeated after quite some time?”
“Yeah. There are new dungeons being discovered from time to time, but putting aside the shallow dungeons with only one or two levels, it’s said that inside dungeons that aren’t discovered until it reaches five level and above, the bosses are very difficult to defeat.”
“That’s why it’s said that the bosses are the strongest in the very beginning, right?”
“That’s right.”

Does that mean the boss won’t be that strong if we could defeat it while the dungeon is still shallow?
Huh? Do dungeons grow?
“Is it possible for dungeons to grow to have more levels?”
“It seems that it hasn’t been clearly proven, but it’s said that once enough magic essence has been collected, the dungeon will undergo a big collapse, and then a new level will be formed.”
Is that so? I didn’t know!

Thanks for reading at convallariaslibrary❁ᑕ♡m
“If I remember correctly, Karin’s big brother is doing research under that topic.”
“Karin-san has an older brother?”
Karin-san’s older brother, huh? He doesn’t seem to be a normal… person. After all, he’s the big brother of someone like Karin-san.
“By the way, how long does it take for a boss to revive after being defeated?”
“There doesn’t seem to be a fixed duration for that.”
I see. I wonder if that kind of thing is random?

“Does a boss exist in the Earth Labyrinth right now?”
“Earth Labyrinth is a shallow dungeon with only five floors, so the boss will revive relatively quickly. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about that. It’d be nice if the key really appears.”
“Yes.”
If it’s a dungeon at the level of the Earth Labyrinth, the adventurers won’t have too much difficulty in order to defeat the boss that dwells at the innermost area.
If I’m not mistaken, it’s a dungeon that’s famous even among the people who have just become adventurers because only weak monsters like slimes or horn rabbits appear at the low levels.
Besides, it’s not going to be just me. Amanda-san, Ar-niisama, Frank-san, Virna-san, and Karin-san, also Noir will be there with me, so I’m not worried whether or not we’d be able to defeat the boss. The thing I’m concerned about is whether or not the [Key to the Sage Tower] will really appear after we defeat the boss.
It’ be nice if it appeared.
“Even if there’s a hidden room just like in the cavern where Livyatan appeared, I think it will be okay if it takes us two to three days to conquer it.”
“Then, as long as we prepare enough food for one week, it’s going to be fine, right?”
The most challenging things when confined inside a dungeon are the place to sleep and food. We could just put a cot in the room where a treasure chest is in, but the problem is about the food.
We could just bring some preserved food, but that’d only be fine for one or two days. If we were to stay more than that, we wouldn’t be able to bear it with only preserved food.
That’d be where my item box can come in handy. Unlike the storage pouches that the people of this world have, my item box has an effect that could preserve the item’s condition, so it’s possible to store and preserve the condition of the newly cooked meal.
But the problem is that one frame of my item box can only be used to store one meal.
Although it’s been expanded from its initial state so that it can store a lot more items, it’d be nice to pile up the same kind of items whenever possible.
So, I came up with the idea of setting the meals on trays and putting them into the item box while categorizing them as either breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
I won’t be able to stack up the trays if the meal variety isn’t the same. For example, in case of breakfast, if breakfast A set contains soft bread, sausage, and scrambled egg, while breakfast B set contains a slightly harder bread, ham, and sunny-side up fried egg, the two sets can’t be stacked up and must be separated into two types.

We are preparing two sets of breakfast and lunch, and three sets of dinner, so we will be able to enjoy our meals without getting bored of the menu for the whole week.
I don’t understand why the plates can’t just be stacked up together while we’re able to stack up the trays containing meal sets, but with this, we won’t have to worry about our meals later.
Moreover, they were the meals made by Louise-san, who’s running a bar in Abbot town, so tastewise, it’s delicious.
Frank-san requested to have his own [Tauros Ardent Jerky] and [Large-Beaked Bashi Rotisserie], but aren’t they snacks that usually accompany sake? They certainly look delicious, though.
But Karin-san surprised me the most. It was a given that elves would love to have the bounty from the forest, but going as far as to prepare only mushrooms-based food is a bit…
“Feel free to look, and feel free to eat them as well.”
So she said, and as I wondered what she meant by that, I saw that the mushrooms were shaped like slimes, and it seemed fun to just look at them.
…As expected from the slime mania.
Regarding this matter, the meat-loving Virna-san and the sweets-loving Amanda-san were being their usual selves.
As for Ar-niisama, he didn’t seem to have anything he particularly liked or disliked. Just like me. Ehehe.
“The rest is just the snacks, isn’t it?”
“Yuuri-chan, we’re not going out to play.”
“Ehehe.”

Although it’s not a picnic, I’m feeling excited and hyped just the same.
I slightly calmed myself down.
Now that we’ve finished our preparations, it’s finally time for us to depart to the Earth Labyrinth!
Let’s go–!
