We descended to the second basement level of the Earth Ruins.

There was no sign of the monsters we had encountered on the first basement level.

There is a small room there, I think. If we block the entrance with debris, we should be able to use it as a sleeping place for the night.

According to the magic clock, the time was just after 22:00.

According to the magic clock, the time was just after 10:00 p.m. It must have been dark outside by now.

For the first day, we might have pushed ourselves a little too hard.

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

We proceeded, relying on the light of the torch.

We entered the small room.

Loloi gasped.

Leroy gasped and braced himself.

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

There was a guest in front of us.

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

Don't worry about it, I was here two years ago.

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

The body was skeletonized. The bodies of an adventurer or a burglar.

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

There were three of them.

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

It's not so much that they wandered in and died. It was more likely that they had made this their stronghold and had run out of strength one by one due to some other cause.

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

All three bodies are lying side by side.

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

When we came here before, Fina had moved the third body, which had fallen alone, next to the other two.

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

And they were still lying there, in the same position as before.

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

It was clear that there was no danger.

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

Loloi was bowing with his hands to the bodies.

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

Chris felt a little sick.　

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

Burgess. Well, he must be used to seeing them.

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

He was preparing for the encampment, not minding at all.

Delos.

I chanted and activated my skill.

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

After storing the debris in the warehouse, I rattled it out in front of the entrance to the small room.

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

Then I made a simple protective fence.

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

'Whoa, that's handy. Warehouse skills.

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

'Loloi's warehouse doesn't hold that much debris,' he said. It's not so much the warehouse skills that are useful, it's Albus.

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

That's some exquisitely tricky phrasing, isn't it? Also, you can't put anything in my warehouse that can't be moved by human power.

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

I've tried all kinds of things, but that seems to be the way it's done.

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

With debris, the limit is about the size of something that can be lifted by two or three ordinary men.

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

Anything more than that probably falls outside the definition of an "item.

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

At any rate.

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

This is safe for the time being.

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

After that, Loloi started to get fidgety in the small room, so I made him a simple toilet space in the corner of the room with a rock tutelage.

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

By the way.

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

It is a jar with a lid and a cloth.

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

I also added a scaffold to elevate it a bit.

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

Albus is very convenient!

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

Yes, yes, ......."

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

Burgess wrinkled his brow and made a seriously weird face while standing there listening.

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

...Let's leave the pervert alone.

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

Then he took out his cooking utensils. I decided to make a pot for dinner.

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

"Whoooa!　What is this?　It's a new, evolved form of moo moo meat!

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

The nabe was a big hit with Loloi.

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

It's really delicious.

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

Chris also praised it.

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

Right?"

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

And for some reason, Burgess was very proud.

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

I hired him. I hired Albus, the baggage handler, guide, and cook!

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

Well, if that's the way it's going to be, I don't blame you.

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

I'll charge you for the cook, too.

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

We were tired from the first day.

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

After dinner, everyone went to sleep immediately.

In my bedclothes, I was pondering.

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

The first day of the treasure hunt went quite well.

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

At this rate, we would probably reach the entrance to the third basement level by tomorrow.

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

Levels 3 and 4 are labyrinths that prevent intruders from entering.

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

It will probably take at least four days to conquer the third and fourth levels.

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

After the labyrinth.

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

The fifth level is the ancient underground city.

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

There is an artifact "Omega Sun" there.

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

The fifth level is the best place to search for relics.

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

There were also many things to be found on the third and fourth levels, if we looked for them. I remember that there were various troublesome traps only in the labyrinth.

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

In my mind, I recalled the path I had taken with Ryan and the others.

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

I fell asleep, feeling a little nostalgic.

The second day of our expedition to the Earth Ruins went well.

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

There were not as many monsters as I had expected.

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

The route was just as I remembered it.

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

It's impossible that a 2,000-year-old ruin could have changed so much in just two years.

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

After crossing the narrow path, we came to a large room. There are two paths leading to the back of the room...left is the right one."

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

I called out to Burgess, who was ahead of me, and gave him directions.

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

And we were on our way...

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

We had arrived at the hall at the far end of the second level of the Earth Ruins, where the entrance to the third underground level was located.

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

But...

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

But there was someone there before us.

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

The troop of the great merchant Noppoi (......)."

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

I muttered to myself as I hid in the shadows.
