It was about twenty minutes after Buehne's release of the string trap set in the cave that Ray said there was a magic "thin flame" useful for releasing the trap.
　Bune, who had released some traps, looked a little tired.
　Naturally, it doesn't mean physical fatigue, it means mental fatigue.
　As a matter of course, releasing a trap requires a lot of concentration, which is very exhausting.
　That's why Ray asked Bune if he would magically replace him...

"Yes!"

　Surprisingly, Bune himself was the first to reject Ray's offer.
　Ray asks Vihela with a look.
　Vichela opens her mouth with a smile on her face.

"You often hear that a real fight is equivalent to a few months of training, though the number of days around it varies greatly from person to person."
"Well... do you mean that's what Bune does?"
"That's true. Bune has a great deal of fighting power as a thief, but he's not bad at all, but he's not good at all, as far as his skills are concerned. ... He's average."

　By the way, Bune is a bandit specialized in combat bandit.
　It's not a bad thing, and there are many other thieves of similar style.
　But Bune does not consider himself a combat bandit.
　No, that's what they think, and I understand that there's nothing we can do about it, but Bune still doesn't specialize in fighting... he wants to be an ordinary thief who has the skills to be a thief.
　For such a Bune, the experience of finding and releasing traps in places like this is more than anything else.
　That's why Ray refused to say whether he would magically release the trap at once.

"What are you going to do? Ray is the party leader. Please decide."
"Even if you say so..."

　When Marina told him to decide what to do, Ray looked at Bune looking at her expressionless... and nodded.

"Okay. I don't have to rush to capture this dungeon. I'll leave it to Bune for a while. But it's only for a while."

　Regardless of Ray's personal interests, considering the interests of the party as a whole, there is nothing wrong with Bune's skills as a thief.
　...though for Lerieu, who is hoping to capture Dungeon as soon as possible and return to his wife in Gilmoo, there seems to have been some dissatisfaction.
　Nevertheless, as long as I was a helper this time, I had nothing to disagree with Ray's words.

(Shumin... I'm sorry, I think I'll be home late, but I'll be back by winter somehow.)

　When will you realize that if you've wasted an hour or two here today, it's only an error.
　It was more likely that he didn't notice it until the end, as he would lose his grip in many ways when it came to his wife.

"Yes!"

　Crucially, Beune is delighted with Ray's words, slightly arched around his mouth and begins to search for traps that might be around him.
　The others, too, have no particular complaints about Bune's actions, and follow him slowly, exploring his surroundings.
　Keep going for about an hour.
　While releasing some traps along the way, the lays were still in the cave.
　With the Gamerion season approaching, Ray takes a skewer of Gamerion out of the misty ring and eats it.
　Not surprisingly, Ray would like to eat a set if he was eating a Gamerion skewer, and others would be interested in it.

"That's last year's Gamerion, and I'm sure you'll get it."

　It was a very simple skewer with only salt, but it was very delicious because it was simple in terms of bringing out the taste of Gamerion's meat.
　the fat and salt of meat
　By combining these two in the mouth, one bite is not enough, one bite is not enough, one bite is not enough, another bite is not enough.
　Then you realize that all the meat on the skewer disappears, leaving only the skewer.

"It's an item box? I envy you. If you do, the food won't go bad, right? And considering the food you've eaten, it's only natural that everyone wants it."

　Again, Lelieu mutters, eating Gamerion skewers.
　For Rellieu, who works solo, the item box would be a very enviable thing.
　Ray casts a mystified look on his face.

"Relieu is also a notorious high-ranking adventurer. You can buy a magic bag or a magic pouch, can you?"

　Magic items, which can be called simplified mass production of item boxes, are very expensive, but it's not difficult for a well-known adventurer to buy them.
　Being a notorious person has that much ability.
　But Reilly shakes his head at Ray's words.

"I've thought about it for a while, but it's going to take some time to put it away. If you put the freshly cooked food in it like Ray, it'll cool down quickly. That's a little too good. I want to eat the food that Shumin made while it's still good."
"Is that the standard?"

　No one could blame Ray for pushing him so hard.

"You don't have to be particular about hot food, don't you think you can have sandwiches?"
"I thought about it. I thought about it, but... you'll get tired of just sandwiches."
"Hmmm. I'm tired of the food that my beloved wife cooked for me. That's about it."
"What!"

　Vichela's words stop Lerieu's movement.

"My... my love is that much? No, no way. I love Shuminine the most in the world. Then... Shuminine's food must taste so good. I'm sure that'
"Then it doesn't matter if it's not an item box. Sandwich or something like that might take up some space, but it's not that heavy."
"No, but... wouldn't it be natural for you to want to eat hot soup or whatever?"
"That can't be helped. If you really... really want to eat hot food, is that Shuminine? We have to have a party with Lerrew's wife as an adventurer."
"You can't do that, can you?"

　Without even a momentary consideration, Lerieu immediately dismisses Vihela's words.
　Sure enough, Lerieu's wife, Shuminine, was not a former adventurer, but a very ordinary Guillum resident.
　...however, for the people of other towns and villages, just being a resident of Guillum is sometimes a special treatment.
　It is not uncommon for people who don't know much about Gilm to be recognized as a special existence just because they live there.
　However, even if they live in Gilm, they are actually just ordinary people, especially those who live in other cities.
　Because it was a remote guillem, it was large enough to easily accept the presence of Seto.

"Then give it up. You're happy enough with just a sandwich, aren't you?"
"I don't deny it... Huh?"Relieu was interacting with Vihela, but suddenly he turned to Bune and told her in surprise.

"Oh... look, we've even lifted that trap, your bandits."

　At the sight of Rellieu's eyes he saw a sharp blade from above... that was a long sword without a handle, and that Bune had released the trap of such a blade falling down, and was collecting it.
　It goes without saying where the collected blades will go.

"Yes!"

　Be careful not to cut corners with the blade, Bune hands Ray the collected blade.
　Ray doesn't seem particular about it, so he picks up the blade and puts it in a mistling.
　This blade belongs to Bune, as long as Bune is the one obtained by releasing the trap himself.
　It was a short conversation, but it was a premise.
　...however, for Ray, I was a little curious about how Bune would use that blade.
　The Battle of Bune is essentially about speed.
　Dagger, long hand, no longer in use, used to use crossbow.
　Therefore, there are other people besides Ray who have such doubts about how to use the blade of a long sword.

"Hey, Bune. How are you going to use that blade? If you don't mind, can you tell me?"
"Huh...huh!"

　Bune immediately replies to Vihela, but Ray doesn't know what Bune is talking about.
　However, Vihela understood the story as a matter of course.

"I hear you'll sell it when you get back to Gilmoo?"
"...that's it,"

　Ray didn't know why this happened in the previous conversation, but he understood how to use the blade anyway.

(I don't think you've ever had a hard time since you started working with us.)

　Is it possible that Bune is struggling for money to sell his blade?
　That's what Ray thinks, but I'm wondering if I should listen to it in this situation.
　Eventually, with nothing more to ask, the Rays began to move on again.

"Bune, don't you think you're finding and releasing traps faster?"

　Marina says so, looking at Bune as she moves around looking at the cave's ground.
　When Ray said so, he looked at Bune and found out that he was a little...It seemed to me that Bune was moving faster, if you say so.
　This action did not dramatically improve Bune's skills as a thief, but it was a gradual but certain proof that they were improving.

(Actual warfare is the biggest part of everything, after all. ... That doesn't mean you should neglect your training.)

　Thinking so, Ray looks to Vihela.
　Vihela likes to play mock battles with the Rays, but that's also because she thought she might start training.
　However, in the case of Vihela, it would be more appropriate to say that the simulation battle is not for training, but for satisfying one's fighting desire.
　I often hear that hobbies have become jobs, but I wonder if they are the same.
　In fact, Ray's idea is far from wrong.
　At least that's what Ray thought.

"What? What's the matter?"

　Vichela naturally notices Ray's gaze.
　Since it's the gaze of a lover, Vihela, who is already sensitive to the gaze of others, must not have noticed it.
　However, it was easy to predict that there would be no such thing as Vihela expected in the dungeon.
　And, in fact, Ray didn't say such words as Vihela expected.

"No, it's nothing. But when I look at Bune, I think from now on I should let him train as a thief as well as a combat drill."

　It was an instant remark, but it was surprisingly to the point.
　As for Bune's combat training, Ray and Elena have been associated with him, but Vichela is still the one he keeps the most company with.
　This was in part the longest association with Bune, and it was in keeping with Vichela's disposition to fight -- in this case, to describe it as a propensity.

"Well... combat training alone is fine now, but it's obvious that you'll eventually slow down as a thief. Maybe you should learn from someone who's good at it. Do you know anyone?"
"... are you saying this knowing my friendship?"

　Ray, who is basically bad at socializing, prefers a narrow and deep relationship.
　As a result, many people know Ray by reputation, but not many people he knows.
　In the end, Vichela looked dumbfounded at Ray and wondered how to find someone to teach Bune the art of banditry.
