In order to avoid Charon, we parted with Yaju-san and went to the third layer.
No, it"s not like I dislike his personality, as long as he doesn"t give me more problems……
I would like to refrain from receiving damage at that condition. (EN: Not sure about this)
Besides, Alicia is looking at me with an ominous look.
“Yu-nee, you should have talked to me.”
“No thanks. I don"t dislike him though, but I don"t want to get involved with his personality.”
“Ehh, I thought I could see a “Romance” story.”
“This precocious child! Do that when you get bigger, to the person you like.”
“I have Yu-nee mon. And there are no children in the village.”
As she said so, Alicia seemed a bit lonely.
As expected, it would be better to have an experience of playing with children of the same age.
Then in this village …… it"s impossible after all. As expected I"ve to think about moving to town again?
“I will ask Hill-san, about living in Tarhan - it might be better.”
“Eh, are you going somewhere Yu-nee?”
“I wonder if I have to move with Alicia”
“Moving out from here, I feel somewhat lonely”
For her, this place is where she was sealed, and at the same time, it"s a place where her memories began……. in other words, this place is her hometown.
I guess there"s a lonely feeling in leaving this place behind.
“It"s still impossible right now. The adventurers haven"t dived deeply in the labyrinth, and even the village had not yet formed. A little bit more, until everyone can live a stable life.”
“Is that so, it"s still way ahead.”
“In the first place, we can"t cross the gra.s.sland with Alicia"s current stamina.”
“It will be fine if Yu-nee carries me.”
Well, that"s why I made a backpack.
Alicia"s physical ability is comparable to a male adult, but there"s some of them that were much higher.
But as expected of lacking stamina, its normal for children.
But just by pa.s.sing through the third layers, swimming in the fourth layers, and arriving in the fifth layer, it is already dreadful.
Then, I notice some doubts.
“Huh? I"m not exhausted, but Alicia gets tired? ‘
“Yu-nee…… it"s normal for humans to get tired you know?”
She talks while feeling amazed.
However, if she was transferred here with a character from a game like me, there"s no such things as fatigue ……
No, I don"t know a game that can be played with an avatar like a “child” in the first place.
At first, I thought Alicia is “a child in this world got trapped in a labyrinth”.
Next, I thought that she"s “transferred here with a character from a game” like me because she was able to use the status display and item inventory functions.
A child used a child character.
However, if you think carefully, if such character had this much physique you will get a penalty from it.
And a game character, it"s usual to use things that have grown to a certain extent.
Even yumir have the limit for a girl because the big sword on my back reached the floor.
“In the first place … Alicia, you knew a lot about this world right?”
“Hmm? I"m pretty knowledgeable”
Yes, her knowledge is unusual.
She knew any type of wild gra.s.s that is edible, how to handle prey and even the characteristics of monsters.
If you are not someone who lives in this world, it is supposed to be unknown knowledge.
“Did Alicia played a game of this world?”
“I don"t know, I don"t remember”
The race, a G.o.ddess displayed under her status (sealed).
Perhaps she is really a G.o.d in this world?
Because she is a G.o.d of this world, she is ignorant about worldly affairs and very knowledgeable … then it makes sense…maybe?
In the first place, if she is such an existence, why was she trapped in a labyrinth ……
“Ahh, jeez. I"ll stop thinking about something I don"t know!”
In fact, it"s foolish to find her true ident.i.ty.
Something like that is.. - It"s the same as trying to find someone"s real ident.i.ty on the net, there might be some violation in manners.
I shake my head and decided to start cutting logs.
Bang! The tree fell to the ground.
The tree collapses as if cutting weeds with a sword, it fell down and made a sound.
The third layer trees only extend about 10 meters in height, so it"s unnecessary to align the lengths.
Lightly cutting the branch, drop the leaves and collect it with ropes. Because I cut the thin part of the tip of the tree, the length per tree was about 7 meters.
The thickness is about 20 centimeters, so it should be no problem to use it for making a hut.
Then, I put 5 pieces together and put them on the cart. And keep the remaining 30 in inventory.
It should be good to pile this up on the side of the labyrinth at night when there is no one around.
“That"s why we are going to stay in the labyrinth today.”
“Ehhh, is it all right to not go back home?”
“It"s all right, no problem. Regarding the dining hall, I already asked the guild staff!”
The ingredients are already brought into the dining hall.
And saying “Please cook properly”, to the elder sister who is doing the reception will handle the kitchen.
Someday, if a real chef comes, I"ll gladly give him the dining hall.
“Anyway, I"ll put this cart down for the time being, and put the baggage, and camp at the fountain in the sixth layer.”
Transferring to the sixth layer seemed unavailable if you haven"t yet killed the Behemoth.
So currently, it"s only us who can use the sixth layer safety zone.
It"s a good place to avoid people seeing us at night.
As for the wood, I can pile it up after people are gone at night.
By doing so, it would look like “I collected timber all night”.
“Then, Alicia please ride on this tree and be vigilant with the surroundings. I"ll go pull the cart and bring it to the surface.”
“Understood”
“Because of the cart I can"t see the surroundings too much, so Alicia will be watching instead”
“Leave it to me, my eyesight is very good!”
Currently, the adventurers are diving until the second layers. There are also a few of them who can go to the third layer, but it seems there"s still no one reaching an efficient level.
That"s why there will be quite a lot who will be witnessing me pulling the cart.
This is already perfect. If there is a problem, then –
“I completely forgot about the stairs”
Stairs from third layers to second layers. And the stairs going from the second layers to the first layer.
The stairs which are over 10 meters in length have the same width as the pa.s.sage. So there is no problem getting through.
“The problem is how I lift it.”
“Can you do something with Yu-nee"s idiotic power?”
“Well, of course, I can … but if I go that far, as expected it will be a problem if we"re seen right?”
The people who came here already know that I have a strength that is beyond the limits of a normal human.
But right now, as the result of my growth, I already surpa.s.sed beyond that limit.
I can afford to pull the cart through the stairs, but as expected it would be bad if someone saw it.
“It can"t be helped. It"s troublesome, but let"s pull it one by one. No one will think it"s strange if it"s only that much.” [TN: just by pulling one and fully loaded I think it"s already beyond strange]
“It"s troublesome”
“Don"t imitate me”
I think that wood is a little lighter than water, so if I pull it individually it should be fine.
Pulling the cart one by one carefully. (EN: wait what?)
There is a choice to pull it with rope directly, but it will cause a scratch on the surface.
Of course, the wood will be sc.r.a.ped off later, but it would be bad if the wood cracks.
It is troublesome, but let"s transport it with a cart.
Wood has a weight of around 200 kilos.
Even with a cart, there is a considerable weight, and if it is an ordinary person they will be exhausted just by pulling the cart.
If you think so, this cart … isn"t it like you are carrying more than 1 ton? Aldo-san, it seems like you have become st.u.r.dy.
When I went around to pulling the woods, unexpectedly Alicia raised her voice.
“Ah, Oji-chan, Good afternoon!”
“O, Oji - no, it"s fine. Good afternoon, Young lady.”
When I looked back, Yaju-san and others came up.
Of course, it"s everyone. And there"s no sign of someone being injured.
Being able to go here steadily this far, they are excellent adventurers after all.
“Good afternoon. Are you guys going down to third layer today?”
“No, we"ll end here today. I heard that at the third layer the enemy will become stronger”
“There"s not much difference between first and second layer though”
“Instead, there are more traps”
In terms of enemy strength, it"s much easier to deal than the second layer. Both Elder Treant and Acid Slime don"t move so fast.
There are traps in the second layer, including pitfalls.
It"s hard to fight while paying attention to traps.
The enemy weakened but the difficulty of the labyrinth is rising. This is the difference between the second layers.
“Yumir is transporting wood?”
“Yes, but the stairs are a difficult place”
“All right, then I"ll help you”
“Eh, is that okay?”
“No problem. The exploration is already finished for today, it"s also good for physical training. And I"ve to pay my debts back.”
Even though I don"t mind about that at all. He is a righteous man.
Yaju-san"s party carry out the woods with shouting.
“Ugh, what"s this- it"s unexpectedly heavy !?”
“Because it"s about 200 kilos”
“And you are carrying 5 of them …?”
“Thanks to Aldo-san"s cart”
Even cars can be pushed by one person if the gears are not on. It would be possible with a cart.
Well, it is certainly not the power that a normal little girl can do.
“If Yumir-san is carrying it - then I"ll too!”
“Stop it, boy. Please quietly carry it with two people.”
“Ahhhh, my backkkkkk!”
Charon-kun got hurt because of doing something unreasonable.
A fragile figure healing his waist, what should I say …… it"s a pity.
“Even if you don"t overdo it in such a place …”
“No, but … there is still more stair ahead. I"ll show you that I can carry it next time!”
To Charon-kun who was hurt, W H Y is he sleeping on my lap.
Alicia strongly said “It"s a maiden job to look after a boy who was hurt!” and insisted.
Unfortunately, there was no woman at Yaju-san party, so I was supposed to take on that role.
“Even so … if you say a maiden, then isn"t it Alicia is a maiden too.”
“It"s because my lap is too small for someone head to get on.”
“Why am I"ve to do something like this…?”
“Older brother, Yu-nee"s lap, it feels good right?”
“Eh, awawa!? That"s-“
“What are you asking!”
As he was angry, he was clutching his fist, Alicia ran away while saying kyaa kyaa.
She is making fun of me. Well, it"s fine because she looks happy.
Thanks to carrying it with four people, I was able to transport it to the upper layer in no time.
I let Charon-kun sat on top of the wood with Alicia.
“Listen carefully, Charon-kun. Please protect Alicia well no matter what got it?”
“Please leave it to me, I"m good at protecting even if I look like this.”
“Also, you absolutely can"t do anything weird!”
“What will I do to a child like this …?”
“Naive, Alicia Punipni cheeks is at a level that makes people become useless”
The feeling of that supreme cheek, men should never experience it.
If I don"t stab a nail here, I don"t know what this flag maker will do.
Adrian-san proceeds and confirmed the safety ahead, I and Rivi-san pulled the cart, and Yaju-san pushes from the back.
With this combination, I was able to carry it out of the labyrinth much easier.
We proceed ahead as it is with Yaju-san, and headed to the small room.
Though they were worried about us, they trusted our word that we would not overdo it and went back to the village.
I"m sure it would be a big deal if an adventurer saw me using inventory, so after I confirmed the surrounding, we headed to the small room for camping.
