Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

Year 7447, Month 7, Day 2

It was evening when we returned to the surface.

It seems like we'll somehow be able to manage the guardian of the 10th floor.

But, the 11th floor...

Completely different from up until now it's a vast world that spans an entire floor.

It's believed to be around 10 km in diameter so the total area should be about as wide as the Oota district and Shinagawa district in Japan combined.

Though I only vaguely remember the top and bottom 5 districts in terms of area so I'm not too confident.

We met up with Cathy and the other members of the {Slaughterers} who were gathered together at the entrance plaza.

I already told them that we were going to try and break through the 10th floor of the dungeon this time so Kamu reserved Murowa for us. For the time being we returned to our inn to change and then all of the {Slaughterers} gathered together.

After confirming that everyone was gathered I gave a report on how we succeeded in breaking through the 10th floor.

Hearing my report everyone started cheering and congratulating us.

I took out the magic stones from the 2 {Great.Underground.Vodyanoy} and showed them.

Since the giant stag beetles this time weren't close enough to being human to call them humanoid we weren't able to obtain any weapons or equipment from them but I explained how we found magic horseshoes and the frightening abilities of they had before moving on to the sights we saw on the 11th floor.

Everyone who wasn't able to see that sight made expressions of admiration and a bit of yearning as if they were greatly interested in it.

It seems like they don't have much interest in the magic horseshoes.

I said I don't have any intention of selling them so I guess it's because there won't be any bonuses?

Though it would be fine if they just immediately realized how useful of an item they'll be in the future and thought they weren't anything worth making a racket over right now.

And~ Miduchi and Toris are talking about them.

Well, I guess that's fine.

But, putting aside those giant stag beetles, everyone might eventually be able to see the 11th floor.

After all supposedly the {Exterminators} were able to arrive at the teleport room on the 5th floor by 4:00 pm on the second day this time. Even though they lost two members and should have had a reduction in combat strength it's quite the miraculous record. It's not all that much different from when Ginger and Hisu were with them.

Though I'm sure one of the primary factors for it is that Rodrick and my combat slave Mekku's magic levels increased but I'm sure it's also because their progressive nature in combat even surpasses the {Butchers} filled with veterans. They've accumulated quite a bit of experience and because their levels were originally the lowest they're the party that's grown in levels the most over the past two years. In just a bit longer, I guess, if they can shorten their time by about 2 more hours then they should obtain the ticket to explore the 6th floor.

Of course, the {Butchers} aren't losing to them either. Since it seems they were able to arrive at the teleport room on the 6th floor by just past 8:00 pm on the second day as well. On their end if they can arrive before 8:00 pm on a stable basis then that would be plenty as proof of their abilities. I'd even be willing to give them permission to enter the 7th floor.

After all the results this time were without a leader from the former {Saviors}. In the first place making it to the teleport room on the 6th floor in two days is a high speed that beyond the {Saviors} not even the {Verdure.Brotherhood} has managed.

Their faces are colored with confidence.

"Now then, we'll be going back into the dungeon from the 6th but next time Zenom will go to the {Butchers}. Take over command of them. And then for the {Exterminators} will be..I guess so. Basutoral, you try going."

"Eh? Me!?"

Basutoral replied with a surprised face.

"Yeah, that's right. Isn't it about a good time for you to gain experience with things like that?"

"..Yes. I'll try doing it! By the way, would it be no good for me to bring along Maru and Rinbi?"

..This guy, don't get so nervous over something stupid~

Maru and Rinbi who I let sit at the lowest seats are looking at me with sparkling expressions.

Their eyes are so radiant I can almost hear the sparkling sound effects.

Ah, Basutoral has a relationship with these two from when he taught them at the sausage factory so I guess he wasn't just nervous but just wanted to make use of them even sooner?

"..Obviously that's no good. I'm afraid to even let these two fight against goblins yet."

After I said that Maru and Rinbi both lowered their heads. Of course~ if it's one-on-one then let alone goblins they might even be able to manage against a gnoll. If they're prepared to suffer injuries then while they might not be able to win they may even be able to hold their own against an ork or hobgoblin. But something like that, if any random adult gets desperate enough they could probably manage it. In the first place, there's aren't over in the dungeon after a single battle.

"Hey, Maru, Rinbi. It's still too soon for you two. Putting aside your skills you need to grow a bit taller."

Ruttsu said that to try and cheer them up.
