10-24 Explorers

Satou's here I reure of so with a spoon in sootten the rest of the movie, but for some reason, only that scene leaves a deep on』 for their rescue! And for our safe return, today let's drink the night away!"

"""YEAH!""

The feast begins with the leader-shi's greeting His name is Koshin, and he seems to be the leader of a veteran explorer party called [White Horse Mane] Gatheringto the labyrinth deep like this time isn't their first tiathered ahead of the street with bungalows that's 300 ate Around 30 food stalls and 10 drink stalls are lined up The light froicians are using ic to illuminate it

Besides us, there are also other explorers and day laborers-like people like carries who are enjoying the food and liquor fro ladies with sensual clothes and strangely sexy youngtheir charms Either of them seem to be prostitutes

One section of the square has been occupied today It seems they've reserved one liquor stall, and three food stalls for the party

There are no chairs and tables, it seeround Lulu and Liza have put a sheet on the corner for the place we're sitting now

The rilled meat, dried meat, boiled beans, and boiled potatoes They're probably not shabby since Koshin-shi said teasingly "These are soician-san, thank you for the clothes that tis] co that look like folded clothes Since Mia who looks troubled seeks help from me, I act on it

"Please have those clothes if it's fine with you If you expose too s could come after all"

The two are forced to wrap few cloth on their body, so although they can hide the important places, their shoulders and stoht?"

"Thank you very much, Chevalier-sama"

The two must have been embarrassed, they readily wear the cheap shirts They leave the mantles folded since it's hot

"Hard~"

"This h nodesu"

"Haha, chibi-chan, you won't chew it if you eat like that You thin it with a knife and then eat it"

Pochi bite through the meat with a 'pssh' sound The ave her the advice looks at her in wonder

"Is it tendon meat?"

Lulu cuts a thin slice of the meat, puts it on a plate, and passes it to ht It could be softened if it was boiled in a pressure cooker With some peculiar bad smell, it's hard to say that it's delicious, but it's also not bad enough to ht be not to noble-sama's palate since it's et used to it when you eat it everyday"

Looks like these grilled meat and dried meat are made from insect-type rilled, and it's as tough as tendon meat of animals As to what kind of insects they are, even the explorers only call it [Insect e everyday It's extremely cheap, one skewer of the meat only cost one penny

"When I've just beco party from behind and collect theit off the h it did become cash, it was quite nasty huh"

It seems there are a lot of explorers who only collect the shells or the claws that can become money from insect-type monsters, and then there are also explorers who specialize in collecting the meat from the leftover The people who collect such monster meat are called [Corpse Retriever (Looter)], and seen as the lowest What a strange story considering it's a fine job that supportssword dance-like acrobatics in the center of the explorers circle When that was over, Pochi and Tama came to the center

"Pochii!"

"Tamaa!"

"Tou!"

I wonder if so the jump like the one they've done to the mantis' back Whoomph, toward Ta froht the fallen Tama Pochi and Tama, and also the spectator who plead the two to do the jump were scolded by Liza since they made dust enter the meals, they were downhearted

"These beans and potatoes are soft"

"Nn"

There are a lot of vegetables even though it should be expensive in the labyrinth city
