"This thing above my shoulders isn"t just a beautiful ornament. But, ah, that"s the case. Even today we got exhausted just walking past the outer crater right? I understood well that if you run you get even more exhausted. By the time we all had reached the summit of the outer crater we were exhausted so we ended up walking back. And, that"s when I thought of it."
"Nn..Well, Zenom-san, Miduchi, and maybe Ral around that area are pretty up there but other than that..Whether it be Toris or Zulu, honestly speaking I think they"re not all that much different from us."
"Since we"re already the same allies isn"t it fine..Stop poking fun over every little thing...I~"ve always respected that person. If I can talk to him on friendly terms then I"d like to talk that way."
I guess it"s because Kevin is the same Dwarf, I already knew he respected Zenom.
"I see. Well putting that aside, I"ve understood it well from having consecutive battles on the 1st floor. Probably even when it comes to Toris or Zulu unless we can push them back during the start we can"t win. If they can endure it even just a bit I think we"d lose. They have some amazing guts. Even after defeating monsters and taking the magic stones they start moving right away with almost no rest. And then with composed faces they start fighting the next monster. They"re persistent even when it comes to the training after all."
"And then, returning to the running, but you know, that"s probably in order to build up the guts. However, it"s tiresome you know~ I think I"ll be satisfied in the {Butchers} for the time being. Our earnings are pretty decent after all."
"We won"t die but it"s exhausting to here you feel like you"re dying.
"I"m Henry. Henry.Okonneru. You sure are bad at remembering things as usual, Rokko."
"Ah? About what? Rather~ you don"t need to be so careful about talking politely like that. We"re not your master or the head slave. Let alone, we have no connection to something like n.o.ble-samas after all."
"Ah, yes. But the two of you are both older than me and I"ve heard that you"re first-rate adventurers so.."
"Come to think of it, you were made into a slave from that conflict the other day right."
"You were a knight right? Was no one willing to pay the ransom?"
Kevin..are you really asking something like that...And I guess it can"t be helped showing reservation towards a slave?
"I guess so. My family wasn"t a very wealthy one after all. It can"t be helped. I"ve decided to think I had good luck just that I was able to keep my life."
"It"s just as Kevin says. If he finds something with a price tag of several billion then Al is going to become a n.o.ble of some place right. And then wouldn"t all of his slaves now become commoners? Not just you slaves but even the route to become proper squire households could open up for us. I don"t know how things are in Devas but I"m the third son of a commoner. Since I don"t have any chance as the head of family if I were to normally marry like this then I"d end up as a Free Person. Even if I were to return to my household if I don"t pay a decent amount of money to my father or sister and the lord then I can"t make a new household after all, unless I remain single the entire time I"d eventually become a serf after all."
"I see. And, what was it again?"
"Yeah, about that..Nn? Come to think of it, Henry~ You said you were told to run every morning right. Who said it?"
Come to think of it that was the case. I don"t remember saying something like that and up until now I haven"t forced a single person along. I told Basutoral he should go running as well but didn"t order him to do it. I just said since he"s running if he should run together with us. Since he"s a reincarnated person as well if he"s noticed the effectiveness of it then he should run together with us. As proof of that Zenom still isn"t running together with us.
"It was Zulu-sama. Since master goes running daily in order to act as escort for him I was told to run together as well. But, they were running too fast so along the way I wasn"t able to keep up with them.."
"No, the four of us that were bought together quickly ended up being unable to keep up with them. Zulu-sama lowered his speed matching up to run with us but even then it seems he didn"t run half the usual amount."

Otherwise since the witness is just for the fraud portion it might be fine for just Binsu to do it.
Toris read it out for the members who can"t read letters but you could particularly feel the mood changed for everyone in the former {Sun.Ray}. I guess that"s only obvious.
"..And, in other words, since that"s the case we"ll stay in the dungeon a bit longer for 8 days next time."
After I declared that and everyone turned around to look at me before nodding. But, they quickly returned to grim expressions while whispering with the person next to them. That can"t be helped. Then I guess we"ll break things up here for today. Everyone eat dinner as you please.
