Chapter 118
Good News and Bad News
A little while after brewing the tea, Frank-san and Virna-san who had gone to scout the surroundings were back.
“There’s good news as well as bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Frank-san plumped down to the chair as soon as he returned, then he took the cup that was prepared and drank up the contents in one go.

“Then, let’s start with the good news.”
Looking at Ar-niisama who answered with a side glance, Frank-san put down the cup that he was holding.
“There is no sign of monsters around this open space as of this moment.”
“Then, there’s the option of returning here and wait for rescue when push comes to shove.”
“That’s right.”
When I brought another cup of tea to Frank-san, he drank it in one go once more, without even waiting for it to cool down.
Won’t Frank-san get scalded this way?
Ah, I got it. Frank-san is a priest, he can just cure himself if he were to get scalded. Perhaps that was why he didn’t seem concerned about it.

“And, what about the bad news?”
“We found the way out. However, there is only one exit, and the slope is downwards.”
“In other words, there is no path going towards the labyrinth’s entrance, right?”
“Yeah.”
“In that case, it’s not bad news at all. The exit to the surface should appear after we defeat the labyrinth’s master.”

Hmhm. Judging from Ar-niisama and Frank-san’s conversation, the master of the labyrinth seemed to be the dungeon’s boss, and therefore defeating it would make the warp point to return to the surface appear, I guess.
I see~ This aspect is the same as the game, huh?
But why would the exit appear after defeating it? What a mystery.
I had no question when it happened in the game, but when I think about it, it’s a very convenient phenomenon for the adventurers.

“What’s the matter, Yuuri-chan?”
As I was deep in my thoughts, Amanda-san peered into my face.
“Ah… That, I was just thinking about how mysterious it is that the exit to the surface would appear once we defeat the labyrinth’s master…”
“That’s right. Why is there such a cause and effect, huh? It’s one of the labyrinth’s mysteries that hasn’t been properly uncovered yet. Surely, there will come a time when it is solved. But that is the job of researchers like Karin’s elder brothers. As for us, I guess it’s alright as long as we have knowledge that such a phenomenon exists.”
I thought back about it upon hearing Amanda-san’s explanation in a light tone.
It’s already hard enough to go to the undermost layer of the labyrinth, defeat the boss, and afterwards we still need to return to the surface.
I took the cup that was on the table and drank the slightly lukewarm tea.
“Let’s rest for a while and begin the exploration after that, shall we? Proceed towards the exit, and if there are a lot of strong monsters, let’s return here at once.”
As expected of Ar-niisama, the vice leader of the Izel fort.
His figure as he quickly instructed was so reliable.

“Perhaps it’s better for Noir to be in its big mode. Weak monsters won’t approach us that way.”
“Nyau.”
In response to Ar-niisama’s words, Noir tilted its neck and meowed as if asking, ‘Is it alright for me to turn big?’
“I think that Noir is cute even when you’re in your big mode.”
I smiled as I said, and Noir’s tail swung as if it felt relieved.
Even if it turns big, Noir is still Noir. Its cuteness doesn’t change even for a bit.
“Then, let’s depart after a little while.”
“Yes!”
“…Virna, what’s wrong?”
Ar-niisama’s line of sight stopped at Virna-san whose ears restlessly moved.
The round leopard ears on top of Virna-san’s purple hair were rapidly moving here and there.
“I am hearing some sounds that I have never heard until now.”
“Sound?”
“It’s as if the earth is roaring… It’s a low and reverberating sound.”
“Is that so? …I can’t hear it at all, but if Virna said so, it’s better for us to be more careful.”
Frank-san also looked grave as his arms were crossed.

“Could it possibly be that the big cave-in hasn’t ended yet?”
“Then, does that mean there will be another cave in?”
Amanda-san looked at her feet in shock, and Frank-san scratched his cheek with his finger.
“The possibility isn’t zero.”
“If we were to fall from such heights again, we would be in danger, let alone Yuuri-chan.”
Amanda-san’s line of sight was drawn towards the ceiling, and I also looked up towards the hole that was wide open there.
Certainly, we were safe falling from such heights all thanks to Maximillian Jr.’s slime cushion. However, Maximilian Jr. has exhausted its magical essence due to it, and it had turned small, so we couldn’t expect to be saved again by the slime cushion.
“Indeed, it shouldn’t have accumulated its magical essence back by now, so it’s impossible for it to do it the second time.”
Karin-san affirmed my prediction as she brushed the blue slime that was riding on top of her palm gently.
“It would be good if we could sense the big cave-in before it occurs, though…”
As Amanda-san put her hand on her cheek, Purun who was on top of Frank-san’s head suddenly made a noise.
“Kyuuu–, kyuu–, kyuu–!”
“Huh? Just what can you do?”
“Kyuu kyuu kyuu!”
“You’re still so small, so you should just be quiet now.”
“Kyukkyuu–!”
Luan, who was trying to appeal to Frank-san about something, suddenly jumped down from the top of the corn-colored hair.
Then, it began tapping the ground rapidly with its large hind legs.

“What are you doing?”
“Kyukyuu–”
Luan marched forward as it continued to tap the ground further.
Looking at it, Noir then followed behind Luan.
“Nyauu.”
And behind Noir, Purun also followed.
It was as if they were marching in a parade. Looking at them like that, it suddenly hit upon me. Could it be…?!
“Could it be that they are trying to ascertain whether or not the ground will collapse with this?”
As I said that, Noir cried, “Nyaan!” as if saying that it was exactly what they were trying to do, and its tail stood up and swayed.
