　As I was checking my backpack, I told Reverend Halhammer, and he looked terribly disappointed.

"It looks like you can't take it out of the dungeon," he said.

"Is the key magic stone safe?"

　I took out the key's magic crystal stone, which seemed to be in good condition. It seems to be in good shape.

　Just to be sure, I read the information on the "transcription" scroll, but I see no change.

"It looks fine. But what in the world does this mean? We all saw the plate that said time was up, didn't we?

　I ask Ary and Roa.

"You did see them, didn't you? So that's the translucent plate you always talked about. It's a strange thing, isn't it?

　Roa and Ary respond to me verbally.

"Hmm. Sailor Lake can't get in. And monsters that disappear when you defeat them, and gold coins that appear. The scrolls of alchemical beasts cannot manifest. Time limits. Plate display. Gold coins that can't be taken out..."

　I'll try to lay out what I learned after entering the dungeon this time.

"For now, I just want to identify what I need to do within the time limit. Is there a box at the end of the transition? Or maybe there's something else that will take us to the next step."

　In response to my mutterings, Rabbi Halhammer tells me.

"Yes, I think so. ...... or gold coins."

"What do you mean?"

　Ary's curious face.

"No, I just thought that if we can't take out the gold coins, then we have to collect the required number of gold coins within the time limit."

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

　I tell him what I suddenly thought.

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

"I see, that might be a possibility.

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

　Reverend Halhammer's face was filled with admiration.

"In any case, it needs to be verified. It is not just a matter of collecting them. In any case, let's go back to the headquarters of the advance team. We need to check the progress there as well.

　After telling everyone this, we decided to leave the underground ruins.

"Hey! Welcome back, Rust. Our progress is on schedule. How was it over there?

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

"Right on schedule, that's great. We're having a little trouble with this one.

　A pen held by a vine growing out of the device crunches sentences on a piece of parchment.

　Once there, I look around at all the faces in the headquarters. They are all looking at me.

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

"Let's surprise them when they come. "They just came here, and now they don't have pioneering jobs anymore.
