Volume 11 Chapter 3 Part 6

「Is that so?」

Just like Sherry and Miria, Vesta seems to have something that she would like to do during her day off.

Oh? Is Roxanne the only one who doesn’t have a clear plan in mind then?

No, it’s not like this is the only time. Even when it comes to going up the floors of the Labyrinths at our current pace, the greedy Roxanne might also be in the minority.

That absolutely has to be the case.

「I think I am going to go and look for more herbs that can be used for our baths.」

So Vesta is going to go herb-hunting, huh? But what exactly does she mean when she says that she’s going to go look for them?

「Do you have some specific target in mind?」

「I was going to ask the lady at the hardware store about it.」

So you are also going to depend on the landlady for that, huh? I just hope that she won’t start leaking some sensitive information to her during one of such meetings between them.

But well… if that is what Vesta wants to do, then who am I to deny her the freedom to do so?

「Alright then.」

「Ahh, in that case, I would also like to hear to what the landlady is going to have to say about it, and then I will tend to the garden for a while.」

So Roxanne is also going to participate in their meeting?

Well, if she is going to be there as well, than maybe I would not have to worry about any of our sensitive information being leaked to the outside. Or maybe if I determine that some of the info is not that secret after all, they might be allowed to disclose it if they are going to feel that it is going to be necessary.

「I see.」

「Well, if we are going to have enough time left then I would like to go to the Labyrinth as well, but…」

I thought as much.

In other words, it would seem that everyone managed to decide on what they want to be doing for their day off.

「If you decide to go to the Labyrinth of Quratar, then you will have to pay the money for the entrance fee.」

「But if I defeat monsters and gather their items, I’ll be able to cover the costs of the entrance fee. Now that I think about it, we should still have some spare Cape Carp Livers, right? Would it be alright for me to use them?」

Cape Carp Liver is an item that is capable of transforming any monster that gets hit with it into a Drive Dragon. Does she really want to use it?

No, it’s not that. It’s just that I never even considered the possibility of her using it. So what does she even want to do, transform a bunch of low-level monsters into Drive Dragons so that she could fight them?

Nah, there’s no way~~.

「Ah well, it should probably be fine, so go ahead and take them. You can also borrow the Estoc of Petrification from Miria if you want to.」
「No, that won’t be necessary, because defeating monsters in such a way wouldn’t be any fun, especially since the purpose of my training is to keep improving my evasive abilities.」

So for Roxanne fighting monsters for training purposes is what she considers to be fun?

「Mabream, desu!」

「As expected of you, but isn’t that going to make things too hard for you?」

Miria says something strangely out of place, so I asked her instead. Would that not really be too tough on the higher floors? It would be, right? And besides, if she wants to train in order to improve her evasion, then even while fighting such enemies, Roxanne should still be able to achieve an easy victory.

「I see. If you are willing to that far, then that really might be a good bit of training for you.」

「No, no, not at all. There is always the risk of getting surrounded by monsters because I won’t be able to keep up with the speed of annihilating them.」

Roxanne is saying some strange things, but I can see that she has become greatly motivated.

That being said, I would definitely liked it if you refrained from doing any sort of dangerous things on your days off.

「There are going to be no additional monsters in the Boss Room. Only two of them.」

So she wants to fight in the Boss Room as well? Does… does she want her battles to get even more dangerous?

No, it cannot be. She is Roxanne, the one who can avoid any and all attacks coming her way, so there’s no way that she would ever be in danger.

But still, I feel like allowing her to go to the Boss Room alone might be a bad idea.

「Mmm…. Black Diamond Tuna…. Mmmm. Fishing…」

Miria looked as if she was troubled about what she should be choosing. Does she think that If she goes with Roxanne, then they will be able to fight the Black Diamond Tuna together?

I wonder if right now she prefers fighting fish-like monsters to actual fishing? And also, girls, what is this? You are telling me that you want to go to the Labyrinths on your day off, which you are supposed to be spending away from the Labyrinths?

「No, no, stop it, stop it. The basic thing that I want to do today is gardening, and even if I wanted to go fight against the Black Diamond Tuna, it would be only if we had enough time left for it afterwards. That being said, fighting it might not be such a bad idea, because then we could get some red fish meat as Drop Items.」

「Mmm… Drop Items, desu!」

Did Miria give up the idea of going fishing entirely? It’s okay, Miria, you don’t have to force yourself to go along with Roxanne if you don’t really want to. And I do have to say that staying in the Labyrnths for too long without a full Party to back you up might be dangerous.

「Yes, I will be sure to bring a lot of Drop Items back home.」

Oh, god damnit! Now Miria ended up getting Roxanne unnecessarily fired up.

Ah well, even if she didn’t do that, I am pretty sure that Roxanne would resolve herself to fighting the monsters in the Labyrinth entirely of her own volition.

So things should be fine, or rather, I want to assume that they are going to be fine.

Shaking off my anxiety, we finally went to have a bath after we finished eating our dinner.

After fully enjoying the sensation of rubbing the girl’s bodies from top to bottom, we were just sitting there, enjoying the sensation of soaking in the hot water mixed in with herbs.

It felt so good, and their green color was easy on the eyes as well, and it partially hiding the girl’s skins from view only made them look that much more glamorous.

An unexplored area hidden in the softly swaying hot water and greenery that seems to be visible but not visible was working wonders for my imagination.

Occasionally the smooth and silky skins were peeking out from beneath their covers shyly while shining brilliantly at the same time.

Eros in clothes. The ultimate in the art of Chiralism that moves the senses!

I couldn’t help it but to continue stealing glances in their direction all the time.

This sight is bad for my eyes. It is bad for my brain as well.

The stimulation from the sight before me is like a direct shock attack straight to my head that then channels the counterattack straight to my groin, prompting me to charge ahead and unleash a follow-up attack against all of them in the bed.

And on the morning of the next day, after the whole night of continuous rapid advancement, we entered the Labyrinth properly in the early morning just like we planned to do.

「Yesterday there was an admission exam, and today you are going to have half of the day off, so it should be fine for us to stay on the same floor as yesterday, right?」

「Yes, since it can’t be helped. And besides, we are going to go up another floor tomorrow, so it is not like we are losing all that much anyway.」

Yes, today we’re not going to go up, no matter how hard Roxanne is going to want us to do so.

There is no place to argue about that.

Today is today, and tomorrow will be tomorrow.

Let’s positively interpret it as Roxanne’s approval.
