Chapter 46

CHAPTER 46 – DUNGEON OF RIPPLES・CAPTURE

After finishing our lunch, we immediately start with the capture of the first floor.

「《Light》」

When I turn on the light and peek inside the entrance, there was a culvert-like place. A waterway with flowing water in the center. And a pathway people can walk on both of its sides.

Because it’s a single, straight path we don’t hesitate to advance. I was just concerned on which side of the waterway to walk, but because it was a jumpable distance between both sides, I have decided to walk on the left side for now.

With nothing happening for a while, the waterway split in the shape of T.

「Which way shall we go?」

「「There~」」

「Yosh, left it is」

Allen and Elena pointed to the left simultaneously.

When I inquire which way to go just like I did during the previous dungeon capture, the two point without hesitation.

Left means that we don’t have to jump across the waterway.

As we advance, an obviously poisonous purple frogs with yellow dots jumps out from the water.

E-Rank monster, Poison Frog.

「Allen, Elena. Because this fellow has poison, use magic. I leave the one in front of you in your care. ――《Air Shot》」

To make it easier for Allen and Elena to aim, I clean up all Poison Frogs except the one in front of them with a wind bullet.

「「Ye~s――《Wat~er Ba~ll》」」

They have practiced magic on rocks. Therefore, it’s Allen’s and Elena’s first time shooting a moving target.

Allen and Elena aimed their water b.a.l.l.s straight ahead and shot and the Poison Frogs.

However, because of a slight movement of the Poison Frog, the water b.a.l.l.s missed. Was it truly accidental that the water b.a.l.l.s the two shot landed at the same place?

「「Muu~」」

Allen and Elena make slightly frustrated expressions.

I know I shouldn’t laugh in this situation, but because the two’s expression was so adorable I broke into a smile.

「Cough…… Allen, Elena. Try aiming one more time. You can do it」

「「Un. ――《Wat~er Ba~ll》」」

This time, the two’s water b.a.l.l.s. .h.i.t the Poison Frog.

「「It hit~!」」

「Good, good~ Well done」

A bottle filled with Poison Frog’s poison appeared at the place of the Poison Frog. Allen and Elena swiftly pick it up and jump at me.

Seriously cute~

「Shall we practice magic like this for a little more?」

「「Un!」」

When I ask while stroking the two’s heads, they cheerfully answer.

After that, we smoothly advanced, and when a monster appeared, Allen and Elena defeated it with magic.

What appeared next were slimes. Fruit jelly made with the slime jelly it drops is quite delicious. Because I have a certain feeling that slime jelly can be used for something else besides fruit jelly, we a.s.sertively defeat it and collect the drops.

Which reminds me, all slimes here we have defeated until now were light blue in color. The slime jelly it drops is semi-transparent, odorless and tasteless, but the color of the slimes here is different from the previous dungeon. Is the slime jelly dropped from different colored slimes the same?

I’m afraid to say that Syl’s implemented knowledge doesn’t have anything on this. Maa~ On the contrary, if there was a detailed knowledge about the ecology of slimes, that would actually be quite unpleasant……

Because it doesn’t look like we will come across slimes different than the light blue ones here, I’m looking forward to the next dungeon.

Allen and Elena beat the monster that appeared one after another.

Water Lizard, Sand Crab, Big Lobster…… Only when there were a lot of monsters, I reduced their numbers first and let Allen and Elena fight one on one as much possible.

But, they are already getting used to it, so it will be alright to let them deal with multiple enemies soon? The amount of magical power they have left is still okay. Shall we try without thinning out the numbers next time?

「「Found~」」

About an hour after entering the first floor, Allen and Elena found a staircase to the next floor.

This Dungeon of Ripples seems to be slightly bigger than the Dungeon of Earth. But, I feel like the difficulty in this Intermediate Cla.s.s dungeon isn’t that different from the Beginner Cla.s.s one.

The monsters appearing are of F and E ranks……

Is it like this because this is a lower floor? Will the degree of difficulty gradually increase from now on?
