What should I do? I got separated from my family.
"Where are we!?"
"Calm down, Rio"
Leon is the only one with me. He’s still clutching his rice ball.
After the attack, the Sea Serpent Dragon tried to attack us again, so we evacuated the temple-like area.
However, the floor suddenly opened and I fell through.
And so I found myself in this cave-like place.
"Where are our parents? What about Marie?"
"Umu. We must’ve gotten separated."
Leon was alternately eating a rice ball in each hand. His cheeks are puffed up like a squirrel. His pretty boy look was ruined.
"It's not the time to be eating onigiri!"
"You can't fight on an empty stomach."
A saying from Hinoshima.
"Leon is always hungry."
"It would appear, then, that I am always hungry."
After finishing his onigiri, Leon turned into a cat.
"We need to get out of here and find the others as soon as possible."
"It won't be easy to get out. This place is a dungeon."
A dungeon means there are monsters, of course. Do we have to defeat the last boss somewhere to get out?
"Uh oh, there’s a problem. How many days will it take to conquer the dungeon? We don't have any food."
"That's the thing."
After all, Leon was only thinking about the food problem.
"If it comes to it, we can cook the meat of the monsters? Do you think the monsters are edible?"
Luckily, I have my small sword hairpin that Sotaro remodeled for me as a magical tool. There will be no problem dealing with meat. And fire can be started by using "convergence of light",.......
"If you defeat the monsters in the dungeon, they will only drop items."
"What about capturing them alive and processing them?"
"... Rio sure is bold."
Fortunately, this dungeon is brightly lit, so it seems we won't have to rely on the mind's eye.
There is a pleasant crackling sound in the resting spot.
The reason for the noise is because we are barbecuing…..
A number of sea monsters appeared in front of Leon and I as we began exploring the dungeon. As we defeated them, they would drop unusual items such as "fish sashimi" and "shellfish meat".
When I appraised the drops, I found that they were edible, and furthermore, they seemed to be "exquisite seafood."
When Leon heard that it was edible and tasty, there was no way he could keep quiet, so he began to hunt aggressively.
I can use spatial magic, so even if the drop is a living creature, there is no problem if it is stored in space. Because space doesn't experience the passage of time, it stays fresh.
I was lucky enough to find a resting spot while I was exploring, so I started cooking the food drops. The "fish sashimi" is supposed to be eaten raw, but I decided to grill it just in case.
"I have to say, I am amazed that you have a grill and a wood burner."
"I just happened to have them stored in the space."
That’s a lie. I just forgot to take them out.
"Oh, well. Thanks to you, we have food."
The food seemed to be cooking nicely. I took out the soy sauce that I always keep in my space and put it in the shell as a plate.
"It smells good. It's tantalizing."
The fish meat and thick shellfish pieces danced on the grill.
"Is it ready?"
Leon changed into his boy form.
I placed the grilled fish meat and shellfish on the shells and hand them to Leon.
"The fish is hot, so eat carefully."
The moment he put the fish in his mouth, Leon's eyes widened.
"Delicious!"
I dipped the fish meat in soy sauce and ate it.
"It's delicious! Is this really monster meat?"
"To be exact, it's a dropped item. Umu. Makes me want some sake (rice wine)."
Leon stared intently at me, I could somewhat guess what he wanted.
"Unfortunately, I don't have any liquor stored."
I didn't miss the way Leon turned his head to the side and clicked his tongue. I was expecting that.
After enjoying "seafood", I became sleepy.
I don't know what time of day or night it is in the dungeon, but my body clock is accurate. It was probably night on earth.
"Is everyone okay?"
We were lucky to find a place to eat and rest, but not everyone had the same luck.
"I'm sure they'll be fine. They are all top adventurers. They're good at what they do. And the monsters here don't seem to be that strong."
"I hope so ..."
I hope my fears are unfounded.
I fell asleep with the lion-form Leon as my pillow.
"Leon's a liar!"
"Did you call god a liar?"
"Who said the monsters here aren't that strong?"
"I didn't say they were weak either."
We are currently being chased by a giant crab monster. It's a monster called the Giant Killer Crab. And they attack in swarms.
"The shells are too hard to cut with a single sword! Moreover, you can't fight a pack by yourself!"
I struggled with a small sword, but the shell was too hard. Since the blade was made of mithril, it wouldn't break, but the Giant Killer Crab couldn't be defeated unless three sword slashes were applied to the same spot.
"Aren't you lacking in training?"
"Excuse me! I'm licensed in the Kirijuin style!"
However, Tojurou-san and my brother can probably defeat them with a single sword strike.
"Seeing as it’s come to this, I can only do this."
I stopped and help up the small sword and put magic power into the blade.
"Kirijuin! Rapid Light Burst"
This special move broke the body of the Giant Killer Crab.
"Yes!"
"Don't let your guard down! There are more of them!"
A few drops landed in front of Leon. It was the Giant Killer Club's most valuable claw. The color of Leon's eyes changed when he saw it.
"I'll stop them. Rio, take them out one by one!"
Leon put his hands to the ground. A magic circle floated out and several vines headed towards the Giant Killer Crabs. Amazing how forest plants can be created in the ocean.
The vines swarmed the giant killer crabs.
"'You're asking me to finish it off, but do you want me to slash all of them with my special move?"
"'You have to strike at the heart. Their hearts are in the middle of their bodies. The underside is softer. Start from there."
"Eh! If they have a weakness, why didn't you just tell me? Stingy Leon!
"What do you mean, "stingy"? I just appraised these guys."
Leon turned his head with a huff.
He definitely knew that from the start because God's eyes are all-powerful.
I couldn't do a thorough appraisal cause I was being chased.
I went about the somber task of stabbing the heart of the giant killer crabs.
Some drop items have fallen, so I will appraise them.
"Giant Killer Club's claws, exquisite food, and mouth-watering taste"
I let out a sigh softly as I realized why Leon's eyes had changed color.
The "seafood" is delicious.
I enjoy them every time I eat them.
But no matter how exquisite it is, I still want something sweet!
"I want to eat sweets!"
"Once you get out of here, you can eat as much as you want."
There’s not enough sugar. I want to eat a cake with lots of strawberries and fresh cream. I want a crispy macaroon.
"I want to eat Marie's scones!"
"Did you call me milady?"
"Eh?"
I heard Marie's voice Did I just hear hallucinations because of my desire to eat sweets?
"Rio! Leon-sama! You’re alright I take it? Thank goodness!"
"I can hear my brother's voice. Is this a hallucination?"
"It's not a hallucination. I'm here, Rio."
The voice was coming from the left side. When I turned toward the voice, I saw my brother and Marie sitting beside me in a hole.
"Brother! Marie!"
