Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 150

 "I'm going into the dungeon tomorrow. I'll be leaving in the morning, so please be prepared."

"Huh?"

"Understood."

There was nothing particularly noteworthy during the nightly report. In the midst of it, Seriana's sudden words surprised me, while Elena and Alex immediately responded.

"What? Are you sure?"

I couldn't help but ask. People have died there recently, haven't they?

"It's not a problem."

I was the only one who seemed alarmed... Is it really not an issue?

"I want to get some exercise before we head to Lutor. Right now, there's no one in the dungeon who opposes me, so it's fine."

She reassured us once again. When I looked at Elena and Alex, they seemed unfazed, so I assumed it was alright. Maybe it's like going to the gym for her? Occasionally, she spars with Elena at the training ground, but maybe that's not enough for her.

A nearby place where Elena and Alex are present, ensuring a certain level of safety... I see. Plus, I'm here, so dealing with monsters shouldn't be an issue.

Considering we also know who enters and exits, the dungeon seems like the best option.

"Since you joined us, we haven't had the chance, but the young lady used to go into the dungeon once or twice a month for training. We'll only go to the upper levels, so there's no need to worry," Elena reassured me.

"We'll head down to avoid disturbing the rookies in the shallows, but we'll stick to the upper levels. It should be a breeze, right?" Alex added.

The shallows, of course, are no problem, and the upper levels are generally safe for small groups. As long as we remember that monsters will gather in open spaces, there's no danger.

With Alex as the tank and Elena as the mid-guard, even though I'm not sure how Seriana fights, if they hold off the enemies, I can finish them off. In case of emergency, we can hide or escape as needed.

"Okay. Got it."

◇

"We'll inform you when we return, so please come and get us then. Let's go."

We arrived at the Adventurer's Guild by carriage. Alex and Elena got off first, followed by Seriana and me. Usually, we would leave for the dungeon at dawn and return quickly, but today it was already past 10 AM. People were already lined up outside and watching us.

We stood out, arriving by carriage and with our conspicuous group drawing attention from the onlookers. A party of one man and three women—a harem party. Just like Luban's group.

Alex, with a large sword instead of his usual club, was heavily armed, unlike his usual self. Elena was in her usual light armor. Seriana wore her hair in a bun, leggings with culottes, a leather jacket, and a sword, looking more suited for riding than dungeon crawling. And I was in a maid outfit. I felt like I was the one taking the dungeon the least seriously.

Alex sent the driver away and opened the door. No sound came from inside. I thought there were adventurers present, given the commotion outside...

"Wow..."

Upon entering, I saw that the guild had been informed yesterday. The branch chief and several familiar executives were lined up, waiting. There were also many adventurers, but they remained silent in the presence of the officials.

It felt somewhat awkward, and I felt sorry for them.

"We've completed the procedures. Please be careful."

They informed us as we approached. I usually went through the formalities when entering, but this time it was a free pass.

"Just like always. No problem," Seriana said nonchalantly, passing the counter and heading towards the stairs leading to the dungeon, with Elena following closely behind. Alex stayed at the counter, talking to someone.

"Seriana, let's go."

I wondered what to do, but Seriana didn't wait.

"Okay. Shouldn't we wait for him?"

"He's probably being told to protect Elena and me as usual. Since you're here today, he's likely getting instructions about you too."

"Interesting..."

So, Alex is responsible if anything goes wrong. Being the knight must be tough.
