　I explored the sea in the 66th layer, cut the Sea Serpent's body in two thirds and scattered a lot of blood, so I heard that demons had come, so I ran away.

　Three days have passed since then...... and I have been diving in the sea at the sixty-ninth layer. The sea is much wider than I had imagined, and it is hard to narrow down the points to search, so it takes time to search. As a result, each of us decided to split up and explore the sea efficiently.

"Yuta, I found Belle!　The Treasure Chest."

　While we were waiting with Sylphy and Dineh on the islet, Belle jumped out of the sea full of energy.

　Belle spins around with delight at my words. There is no prize, but it would be more fun to play a game, so we all head for the treasure hunt at once, competing to see who will be the first to find it.

　The one who finds the most is Rain, who seems to be an expert in underwater activities because he is a water spirit. Belle and Tamamo are about the same, and Tulu has found the fewest. The reason why Tulu is not found often is because he sometimes follows behind Tamamo.

"Okay, I'll summon the others."

"Yes, sir."

　Rain and the others are summoned, and Belle leads them to the treasure chest. After three days of fighting, we know how to defeat the demons that appear, and we are able to take them down quickly and easily. I decided not to fight the Sea Serpent like a knight in a duel because I was afraid to do so. It takes a little time, but it is easier to defeat them by fighting normally.

"Here..."

　Bell proudly points to a ...... hole?　There is a hole under the rocks at the bottom of the sea. Bell often finds treasure chests in hard-to-find places like this. It's a strange talent. When you look into the hole, you'll see a golden treasure chest. .......

"It's a golden treasure chest. That's great, Belle."

"Heh. Belle, that's great."

　Not only me, but also the other spirits praised her, and Belle was overjoyed with a big smile on her face. Gold treasure chests are rare. In games, there are rainbow-colored treasure chests, but what about in the labyrinths of this world?

"Well, Rain, please."

　The treasure chest is lifted up by Rain's manipulation of the seawater and carried out to sea. Some treasure chests have traps, and above all, if you open a treasure chest underwater, the treasure inside will be covered with seawater. At first, I opened a treasure chest normally and the gold and silver treasures were covered with seawater. I cleaned them with cleaning magic, but there is a possibility that they may be broken depending on what is in them. It is safer to take the treasure chests to the sea and open them. Especially gold treasure chests are likely to contain good things, so we must be careful.

　The treasure chest floats up from the bottom of the sea and comes to the surface. Dine enchants it so that it can stand on the sea and the surface of the sea is flattened. The attention to detail makes you wonder if it's the real Dine. The water spirits are so great in a watery place. I thank her and she is in a very good mood.

"Well then, Sylphy, please..." she said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay."

　I ask Sylphy to open the treasure chest. Treasure chests in water are completely sealed, so we have no idea what's inside. In my experience, treasure chests with locks and traps have a one-in-four chance of being opened, even if you don't have the skills to ...... unlock them, you might want to trust your luck.

　When I move away from the treasure chest, Sylphy wraps the chest with wind and opens it. When I open it, a clear liquid spills out from inside the treasure chest. Is it poison?　Looks like the treasure chest came with a trap this time, albeit a small one.

"Oh, Yuta, this is great!"

　Deanne froze the liquid in a sphere.

"What's so great about it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, it's poison from poison dragons. If this much of it dissolves into water, it will kill all life around it in an instant. Even if it evaporates, it will cause a lot of damage.

　That's more disturbing than awesome. I knew it was toxic, but it's dragon venom, and it's super potent. That wasn't too shabby at all. And I'm supposed to store it.

　I've got some weird stuff here. It's a powerful poison, and it might be useful in some ways, but I doubt I'll ever get to use it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yuta, do you want some of this?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was thinking about the poison, Bell spoke to me. Do you want some?　I looked at Bell and the others, who were peering curiously into the treasure chest. You forgot about the treasure.

"Was there food in the treasure chest?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Food treasures?　Intrigued by the first time pattern, I looked inside the treasure chest and found a large muskmelon. It glowed with some kind of magical power, but the shape and color of the melon were the same as a muskmelon. A muskmelon in a golden treasure chest. ...... If I eat it, will I become unable to swim or acquire special powers?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, that's the fruit of the spirit tree."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　Is that what this is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I'm sure of it.

　In other worlds, muskmelons grow on spirit trees. ...... is very different from Earth. Well, it's only natural that they are different when the fruit is shiny. In the first place, ordinary muskmelons would be rotting in a treasure chest. I wonder if this treasure chest has a time stop function.　I'll check later.

"But you can get it from Dory if you ask her, so it's kind of a bummer."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, maybe so. But it's not like you can't have it, so why not keep it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That too. If we could make a contract with the spirit of life, we could manage most things, but a fruit that can cure anything if it is not dead is not a waste. I thought for a moment about selling them to Marie, but after all the fuss over the magic grass and the almighty grass.... I wonder what would happen if I offered her the fruit of the spirit tree. I'll have to put them in my magic bag until I have a chance to use them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll keep it.

Want some? Cue?""" Tasty?"" Coooo?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Bell and his friends are very interested in the fruit of the spirit tree. Shall we eat them now?　I'm a little nervous about letting Belle and her friends eat the fruit that has been sleeping in the treasure chest for years, though I'm sure it won't upset their stomachs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The same thing as this fruit will grow on the spirit tree at our house, so we can eat it then. Can you wait?

　Good, as long as they're edible. He pats the belles on the back. I'm a praise-and-stretch kind of guy. I was praising them a lot when Sylphy came over to talk to me.

"So what are you going to do now?　Shall we continue our search for the treasure chest?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I don't know. We've seen a lot in the sixty-ninth layer, so there's not much to lose. We got a lot of Jinryokusa, but we'll come back when we run out, so we don't need to find everything this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not as if the Wings of the Labyrinth and Muscle Star people are going to find treasure chests at the bottom of the sea one after another. We've been in the labyrinth for quite a while now, and I'm wondering about Sara and the others. It's time to go back.

"We've found the staircase at the 70th level, so we should beat the boss and go home, since there's a lot to do in the labyrinth city.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, that's a good idea. Shall we head out now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Everyone is fine except for me, and I can afford to just sit back and wait while everyone else explores. Let's just go get them.

"Yeah, let's get going right away.

"You're going to fight the boss, so why don't you put on your natural armor?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Well, from what I read in the book, the heroes had a hard time, so I'd better put on my nature armor. I mean, since Bell and the others are already prepared, we have no choice but to wear it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well then, I'll take nature's armor."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes... cue... safety... coo...

　Wearing the armor of nature, I ask Sylphy to fly to the stairway leading to the 70th layer.

"Is that a variant of the Sea Serpent? It's kind of yellow.

　The boss room is not as large as the sea in layers 66 to 69, but it seems large enough for the ...... Sea Serpent subspecies to run amok. It's like a big lake.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From there, a scything subspecies of sea serpent is looking at us. I was surprised when I read in the book that the boss is not a dragon. It seems like a water dragon or a sea dragon or something like that.

　The fire dragon in the 50th layer is special, and the next one will appear in the 100th layer or something?　How many layers does the labyrinth have to begin with?　Will it continue after the hundredth layer?

Rain, Tulu, please do as I teach you.

Cue. - I'll do my best.

　Yeah, he's motivated and dependable. As soon as I answer, a wall of water appears in front of me, and on the other side of it grows a number of sharp spears made of minerals. Yes, the plan is perfect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While I was satisfied with Rain and Tulu's work, a subspecies of Sea Serpent shouted "Shigya" and shot several electric blasts at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The blasts that came toward us with a flash of light hit Tulu's mineral spear as if they were sucked into it, and flowed deep into the ground. It seems to be all right. I wonder if the netting of the minerals in the ground had an effect?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The wall of pure water that I asked Rain to build for me did not even allow the blasts to reach it. I had a very hard time explaining pure water to Rain. ....... I was so proud to tell Sylphy and Dine that pure water hardly conducts electricity, but I'll be sad if it all ends before I can show its effect.

"Wow, it turned out just like Yuta said. I didn't think you could avoid thunder like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sylphy nods in admiration. I know this is like a science experiment, but I'm glad you are impressed. Now the attack is the problem. I heard that getting into seawater can cause an electric shock, and I thought about having them wrap their bodies in pure water, but decided against it since it would not completely cut off electricity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are not satisfied with the fact that the electric shocks were blocked, and they continuously fire electric shocks at us. Waiting for the Sea Serpent's subspecies to get tired and approach us is also troublesome, so we don't need to use our pioneering tools this time.

Belle, Tamamo, get him.

"Yessir!" "Kookoo!"

　Belle and Tamamo salute and fly away. The sea serpent subspecies splits to the left and right and attacks the neck all at once. A blade of wind and a blade of seaweed cut deeply into the neck of the Sea Serpent's subspecies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it seems that it was impossible to cut off the head with a single blow, since it is a subspecies of an A-ranked demon. It seems to be a very strong demon. Even so, it was a complete surprise blow to the neck, and blood is spraying like a fountain. Confused by what has just happened, Bell and Tamamo deliver another blow to the sea serpent subspecies, completely decapitating it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we don't mind using pioneering tools, even this class of demons can be easily defeated. What a dilemma! I'd better stow the sea serpent variant and get back. But first, I have to give a big pat on the back to Bell and the others for their hard work.
