"What do you think of the stairs over there?"

　The lays, who had kept their hands on long-lasting foods such as dried meat and dried fruit in the warehouse, went straight down the passageway of the underground facility.
　The Lays were walking down the passageway of the underground facility, when they saw the steps down the stairs.
　Of course, since he suddenly appeared in this situation, there is no proof that it is real...
　But... it's only natural to think that it's not a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap, it's not a trap, it's not a trap.

"As long as there's no other staircase going down, I think there's no doubt about it." Oh, of course, if you ask me if there are any other stairs, I think it's more like a hidden staircase than a hidden passage."

　As he spoke, Ray remembered the information he had extracted from the man.
　On the second basement is a prostitute pregnant with a giant. and the story that there is an institution on the third basement to give birth to giants.
　If that's true, I'd like to go to the facility as soon as possible.

(Sentimental... I see.)

　You can't help a prostitute pregnant with a giant with your own power.
　Even though he knew it, Ray was deeply dissatisfied.
　They are forcibly brought in from their villages and towns, forced to prostitute themselves with slave collars, and then pregnant with giants, they die.
　Ray understands that he is by no means a hero of justice.
　That would be evidenced by Ray's past actions.
　It was obvious to everyone that he could not be called a friend of justice by slashing the arms and legs of an opposing aristocrat and stealing the treasure he had accumulated instead of being attacked by a thief.
　Still... there's no stopping the intense anger in Ray.

"If there is a hidden staircase, it is necessary to examine all the other rooms... surely it will take some time?"

　Marina's words are by no means wrong.
　There shouldn't be hidden stairs in an easily accessible location, so it was only natural that it took time to find out where they were.
　Moreover, that kind of expert Bune is a combat-focused thief.
　I don't know for certain if I can find a hidden staircase.
　Given that we understand that we are carrying out a surprise attack on this underground facility, it is only natural that we didn't want to spend too much time here.

"Yes,"

　Bune doesn't disagree with Marina's words, perhaps because she understands her ability properly.
　It's still a small veneer, but being able to make accurate judgments about it is a testament to a high level of judgment.
　It's even smaller... No, you didn't try dungeon by yourself from a young age.
　The only moment of vexation on her face was Vichela, who had known her for a long time.

"Well, then, we have no choice but to move on." -- here we go."

　Everyone nods to Ray's words and goes down the stairs.
　The stairs are quite long, lest the basement floor should come out.
　The stairs, which continue straight down, go halfway without any particular problems... and then suddenly the steps disappear and turn into just a slope.
　If this had only just come down, we could have quickly returned to the ground floor.
　But the Reys have already gone halfway down the stairs.
　Even though I was wary that there might be some traps, it must have been completely unexpected that the stairs would suddenly disappear and turn into a slope.
　It's still close to 10 meters to the second basement.
　In order to prevent underground facilities from collapsing, each basement floor needs to be built very thick, and the stairs that move downstairs will naturally become longer.
　I'd like to use it to roll the lays down to the second basement and cause them even a little damage. Jaya's aim is to kill him with this trap, if possible.
　But... I could only say that the idea was naive.

(They set the trap as if they had guessed us halfway up the stairs. So, does the guy who moved this trap see us? Watch camera... No, if there's a magic item close to it, it might be strange.)

　At the moment of the slope, Ray was jumping half reflexively down the stairs.
　...and under normal circumstances, jumping down 10 meters would cause one injury. Failure to land could even mean loss of life.
　However, it was only normal, and in many ways it was wrong to classify Ray as normal.
　Since I was going down the stairs in the first place with the suspicion that there was a trap, I can't be hesitant about what to do in case of emergency.
　When I activate Slapnil's shoes in the air, I step on some air and go down to the second basement.
　Having anticipated a trap, Ray had no confusion whatsoever, and on the contrary, he could afford to check the surroundings.
　Elena, like Ray, has activated Slapnil's shoes and is falling toward the second basement, turning the air into a scaffold.
　The marina had fallen to the second basement by the spirit of the wind at what could be called gliding speed.
　Vihela was falling in the air, grabbing Bune with one hand.

(It's Vichela that's just falling, but that's no problem.)

　Originally Vichela had a very high level of physical ability, it now has a higher level of physical ability due to the absorption of Ambris.
　Furthermore, Vihela uses fighting as a weapon and is good at physical activity itself.
　I don't think there's anything wrong with falling from this height.
　In addition, there is absolutely no problem with the feathery yellow.
　As a result, everyone successfully lands on the basement floor without any apparent injury.

"I'm a little surprised to trap the stairs like this,"

　Vichela, who first arrived at the second basement floor, muttered, lowering the veneer.
　When Ray looked up the stairs again at the words, the steps that had already disappeared were undone and they were worthy of being called stairs again.

"Well... well, nobody was hurt after all." It must have been a very large trap, as far as the stairs go."

　Ray says he must be frustrated, but a smile comes to his lips.
　Are you laughing at the superficial wisdom of the Jayans who thought they could kill themselves at this level, or are you imagining someone who would be frustrated at not being able to hurt them, let alone kill them?
　At any rate, Ray had a smile in his mouth.

"... Ray, that little smile..."

　Marina, watching Ray's condition, says something difficult to say.

"Huh? What's the matter?"
"No, if that's all right with Ray, I don't mind." Ray is Ray."

　Eventually, nothing more is said and Marina looks around again.
　I had heard above that there were pregnant prostitutes in the second basement, but it didn't look much different to Marina's.
　No, the passageways and doors are the same as those on the first basement floor, but they are very different in that the number of doors is extremely small and the doors are quite large and double-open.
　The first person to open his mouth while looking at such a door was Vihela.

"What should I do? Do you want to open the door? I think there's a trap."
"...that's the big door,"

　Elena retorted to Vihela's words, but their opinions were in favor of course

(Two meters wide... No, three meters wide? It's about the same height.) Why is it such a huge door... a giant?)

　If this is where pregnant prostitutes gather to give birth to giants, there's a possibility that some trouble will cause giants to give birth in that room.
　I wondered if that was the reason.
　Of course, Ray doesn't know whether a giant who has just been born has the right body to call a giant from the beginning.
　However, if you were still pushing yourself to give birth to a giant, you could have had that kind of irregularity.

"What should we do? Let's take a look inside. It's not always possible to get some information."
"Well... I don't feel like it very much."

　Marina responds to Ray's suggestion.It's probably the same with others that they'
　Still, they decide to look inside that door and move to the front of the huge door.

"How's Bune?"
"Yes,"

　Vihela asks if it is locked, but Bune mutters as usual.

"It seems to be unlocked,"
"...unlocked? Why? All the doors were so locked in the basement. Jaya must know that we are already in this cellar."
"Otherwise, I would not have acted like setting a trap on the stairs."

　Elena mutters to agree with Ray's words, but it's only natural that you wonder why it's not locked here.

"Do you think we can watch it? Anyway, if it's unlocked, why don't you open the door?"
"... I see. Bune, get out of the way."
"Yes,"

　At Marina's words, Ray pushes Bune away from the door and reaches for it.
　Since the door is three meters long by three meters long, its weight is considerable.
　Originally, a few people would work together to open it... but for Ray, it's not a problem.

(Maybe the reason why the door was unlocked or not kept was because he thought it would be all right?)

　The door was heavy to the extent that I thought so.
　As long as there is a pregnant woman inside, this door cannot be opened. It was no wonder that I should have thought so.
　The door gradually opens as metal scrapes around it.
　It was Ray's first smell that floated through the gap in the open door.
　It's not a particularly unpleasant smell, it's a kind of relaxing smell.
　Smell that, and then open the door completely.
　And so Ray's eyes came into the room, how many... dozens, or even more than a hundred pregnant women.
　Nevertheless, it's a pretty good sight to call silence from inside the room.
　Of course it's not really silence.
　Each pregnant woman on the bed seems unconscious, moaning faintly, and some say something in their sleep.

"What's going on with this...

　Vihela, who entered the room from behind Ray, muttered, looking around the room.
　Sleeping... or perhaps just unconscious, the pregnant woman on the bed felt unusual to everyone.

"I don't think you're sleeping because you're sleepy. I don't think all these people will sleep the same way."
"Really? I understand what Vihela means, but everyone here is a prostitute. So you've been living in Mejogo, haven't you? So maybe you're sleeping normally at this time of day."

　As Marina said, it's just after noon.
　Then it's clear that it's usually the time when prostitutes are sleeping, and if you think so, it's not surprising that everyone is sleeping.

"But everybody? And even though we came in, there was no sign of waking up. It was rather noisy when the door opened."

　Everyone is silent at that remark.
　In fact, the sound Ray made when he opened the door was rather high-pitched.
　That's the sound that would normally happen.
　Nevertheless, there is no sign of anyone waking up in the room they are looking at.
　It was no surprise to wonder what was going on.

"Then, if you think it's normal, you're being put to sleep?"
"What for?"

　It was a word that somehow came out of Ray's mouth, but Vihela looked at the crowd of pregnant women in the room and asked.
　However, Ray was not particularly sure of what he said.
　That's the word from the simple question of perhaps.
　In the end I couldn't answer Vihela's question, I just stared at the scene in front of me dumbfounded.
