Serina Volume 4, Chapter 17

Chapter 17 - The Mystery of Metre and the Holiday of the Hero without Alec

 The next day we continued to explore and fill in the map.

 But considering the length of the first passage, the mapping is not even a quarter full yet.

 Alec says with a sigh.

「It's going to take us ten days to clear the ground floor.」

「That's right. It's really big.」

「Yeah. I didn't expect it to be this big either.」

 It seems the dungeon is bigger than even Ione, a local, expected.

「Isn't it bigger than the city above?」

 Lily said, but it might be true.

 Back at the inn, I talked about it with the innkeeper during dinner. She told me that she used to be an adventurer and had been in the Labyrinth of No Return.

「Yeah, anyone would be surprised at first. There aren't many dungeons of this size, you know. There are some narrower levels, but they're 10 kilometers square.」

「「 Ten kilometers! 」」

「Fuee~.」

「That's spacious. ......」

「Auhh ......」

 Kilos are also used here for units. I wonder if there are any heroes who brought the metric unit over here?

 No, but those magicians couldn't bring in clothes or phones, and I'm sure they figured out the length from their height.

 But .......it's hard when the labyrinth is ten kilometers long, the same as the earth.

「It would take me three hours just to walk from one end to the other.」

 I shrugged my shoulders.

「That's right. Well, it's better to take your time and be patient. Especially if you're a beginner. If you think you've gotten used to it and go ahead, you'll be outsmarted. That dungeon is」

 Oursmarted, huh.......

「Does that mean the difficulty level will suddenly increase?」

「Yes, it does. Even the same enemy can be difficult to defeat depending on its placement. You should be especially careful about the height of that labyrinth. The ceiling was high, right?」

 The landlady says.

「Yes, it was. I think it was about four meters high.」

「That's why, when enemies with bows and arrows appear on the tight steps, you can't get up there right away. If you have a party of only swords and no skills in hill climbing or range attacks, you'll have a hard time.」

 After all, a magician seems to be a must. Lily has a slingshot that can be used as a range attack weapon, but it's not very powerful since it's made of rubber and pulls stones.

「Nene, I'm counting on you.」

 Alec thought so too, and said to Nene.

「Eh, uuh. ......」

 Nene's hand stopped eating the bread, probably because she felt pressured. Oh, my oh my.

「It's okay. You'll be able to do it once you level up.」

 I said to her, encouraging her.

「Eating is still your first priority, young lady. It must be hard to walk with such a body.」

 That's what the landlady says, and she's right.

「Nene, you'd better eat your fill. Two loaves of bread is mandatory.」

「Y-yes ......」

「Well, I think that's good enough. Nene-chan, let's go to the food stalls tomorrow, shall we? Alec is going to an auction, right?」

「No, we can leave that to the guys from the merchants guild. ...... Well, we'll have the whole day off, tomorrow」

「Yaay!」

 Lily is delighted. Yes, everyone needs a day off, even the heroes.

 The next day, I invited all the ladies except Alec to go sightseeing in the royal capital of Grandsword.

 Alec is kind of reluctant to do this kind of thing, and he's very reluctant to go out.

「It's nice to do something like this once in a while.」

 Meena smiled as we walked through the city.

「Meena, if you ever get tired of Alec, just let me know. I'll do something about it.」

「No, I will never dislike my master.」

 I hope you're right, although you said it with a radiant smile.

「So, where are you going now, Serina-san?」

 Ione asks. She usually wears a silver breastplate, but today she's not wearing any armor, and she looks like a kind sister.

「I think I'll go with the Sakurada family to see the cow lady.」

 It's a famous tourist spot in Spagna.

「Oh, that's the place? I've always wanted to go there myself.」

「Look, I can see the Sakurada house.」

「Hoee~, that's a big house!」

 The house is so big that Nene looks up and admires it. The four spires that line the front of the house are distinctive, making it look like a castle.

「I heard that the house was built over a hundred years ago.」

 Ione also seemed to know a lot about it and told us about it.

「Eh, why did it take so long to build?」

 Lily asked, half in surprise, half in dismay.

「Of course, it's because it's complicated and big, and the whole Sakurada family is working hard on it.」

「Hmmm. Why don't they just leave it to someone else?」

「Well, there's a lot going on there.」

 I chuckle and smoke it out. The main reason is probably the lack of funds.

 Besides, the Sakurada family often has family quarrels, and every time they do, the construction work stops.

「Yes~~, the tour of the house is 3 gold. The souvenir Sakurada cookie is 1 gold!」

 In front of the gate, a dark-haired girl was working as a vendor, but she was a familiar face.

「Ai, what are you doing in a place like this?」

 I ask suspiciously.

 She is an adventurer from Vernia, a yuri demon who attacked me by a slight mistake and did something naughty to me.
