Chapter 66
Chapter 66: A Dungeon Inside the Labyrinth? (1)
When they returned to the dormitory, there were some sneering remarks from the losers saying they had barely managed to hold on, but since no one in Dohyun’s party cared about such things, they just ignored it.
Anyway, when they returned to the dormitory and were about to rest immediately, Ihae-in came out and spoke to Dohyun’s party first.
“Seeing your skills today, I don’t think our party needs to stick together. If you want, you can freely explore on your own tomorrow.”
“Ah! That sounds good.”
As expected, Dohyun readily accepted with pleasure, and seeing the expressions of Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who looked somewhat relieved, Ihae-in also had a slightly dejected expression, but he thought that people of this caliber deserved to feel that way.
Since Ihae-in’s party was a safety-oriented party, there were frustrating aspects, so they didn’t really match well with Dohyun’s party.
Their tendencies were too different from Dohyun’s party, who moved forward boldly.
Anyway, after Ihae-in said that, he took out an old parchment from his chest, and Dohyun could recognize it immediately upon seeing it.
‘Oh?!’
It seemed to be an item, not just a map.
When Dohyun seemed to recognize it at first glance, Ihae-in was convinced while looking at it. This was an item that one wouldn’t know well unless they came directly to the D-rank Zone, but to recognize it immediately – this was proof that Dohyun was definitely well-informed.
So Ihae-in spoke with conviction that Dohyun was an agent.
“You probably know what kind of item this is, but let me explain briefly – it’s a map that automatically records the narrow paths that the person who owns it travels. It’s a map with a small range that only records around Sector 53 Corridor here, but it should be useful.”
“Ah, thank you. You’re giving me quite a valuable map.”
“Haha, our party has one more that Jinhyeon is carrying, so we’re just giving you the spare one.”
Ihae-in spoke while acting unusually jovial.
In a way, it was a gift close to a bribe asking to be looked upon favorably, so when Ihae-in looked with slightly nervous eyes, Dohyun, unaware of such intentions, smiled and nodded.
“Then I’ll gratefully accept it. I’ll put this to good use.”
“Yes. Then we’ll also go rest now. You all worked hard today.”
“You worked hard too.”
“Thanks to you, we hunted well.”
“See you again next time.”
“You were amazing.”
After parting ways with Ihae-in’s party at the dormitory, Dohyun put the map into his magic pouch with a satisfied expression.
Hanalin and Jiyuchan were looking at Ihae-in’s party with somewhat strange expressions.
It wasn’t bad or anything unpleasant, but Hanalin tilted her head while looking at Ihae-in.
“It kind of feels like giving a bribe?”
“Hmm, I had similar thoughts.”
“A bribe?”
However, Dohyun could only tilt his head at those words.
Now that it was just the three of them, he asked back as if it was strange.
“What would they gain by trying to get on my good side? Ihae-in’s party is also affiliated with the Association anyway, so there’s nothing like that, right? Besides, Ihae-in’s party is actually our senior.”
“Hmm, that’s true, but…”
“There’s something strange about it.”
“Aren’t you both being too sensitive? But if they gave it as a bribe, I can just help them out later.”
“…” “…”
When Dohyun said they were both being sensitive, neither Hanalin nor Jiyuchan could retort since there was some truth to that. Besides, Dohyun’s words were also correct.
If it’s a bribe, they could just help out later, right? They would naturally refuse difficult requests, but they could accommodate reasonable ones.
At Dohyun’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan also nodded, saying they understood.
With the Elves’ matter and all, they might have been too sensitive as he said.
When the two didn’t say anything particular, Dohyun returned to the room, quickly grabbed his clothes, and shouted.
“I’m washing up first!”
Based on his memories of living with his younger sister at home, he quickly claimed the bathroom in the room.
For things like this, getting in quickly was the best strategy.
Dohyun rushed in like that.
Since it was a labyrinth with lots of dust and stuffy air, Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who wanted to wash up quickly, were startled.
Especially Jiyuchan, who fought at the front as a swordsman, couldn’t avoid getting splattered with blood, so he was currently in quite an uncomfortable state.
Hanalin was also in quite an uncomfortable situation with dust and small spider webs clinging to her while using magic.
“Ah! I, I’m first!”
“Nope, me first.”
When Dohyun coldly rejected Hanalin’s words and went in first, Jiyuchan asked as if trying to persuade him.
“At, at least washing together…”
“Nope, too cramped~.”
Dohyun spoke like some kid and quickly closed the bathroom door.
As the two people stood helplessly staring at the bathroom door, only then did Hanalin smell the monster bodily fluids and blood from Jiyuchan’s body and wrinkled her face before saying.
“…Yuchan oppa, how about waiting outside for a bit?”
Though he was somewhat hurt by those words, knowing that it would also be unpleasant if the smell of these bodily fluids and blood permeated the room, Jiyuchan answered with his head down.
“…Alright.”
With those words, Jiyuchan trudged out, and Hanalin went outside to properly shake off the dust clinging to her clothes before taking the opportunity while Jiyuchan was away to gather her clothes.
Though this was her first time sharing a room with men like this, it felt strangely exciting, like living in a guest house or boarding house.
As Hanalin was preparing her clothes, she suddenly looked at her cute character pajamas and pondered for a moment.
“…”
Dohyun had already seen Hanalin’s character pajamas before, so it didn’t matter, but why?
Hanalin put the character pajamas deep into her bag and took out a t-shirt and shorts from her more comfortable casual clothes.
Thinking it was good that she had brought them just in case, as she was stacking her clothes with underwear discreetly hidden among them, suddenly.
Slam!
“Next person, go wash up.”
Dohyun came out faster than expected, making her flinch and tremble.
Hanalin hastily closed her suitcase, and Dohyun looked around the room and asked her.
“Huh? Where’s Yuchan?”
Seeing Dohyun speaking while slightly wet, Hanalin subtly turned her gaze away and answered.
“Ah, he smelled too bad so I sent him out.”
“That’s harsh, but I guess it had to be done. Go wash up then.”
“Yes.”
Hanalin hurriedly entered the bathroom with her clothes, and Jiyuchan, who belatedly heard Dohyun’s words, opened the door and came in.
“I, I sme…”
“You’re back? She went in first.”
“…Sigh.”
Hanalin, being a woman, would obviously take a long time, so he wanted to wash first, but Jiyuchan hung his head low at being late.
Looking at Jiyuchan, Dohyun also frowned as if he smelled and said.
“I’ll let you know when Nalin comes out, so get out.”
“…Got it.”
Jiyuchan trudged out after being kicked out again, and Dohyun finally smiled with satisfaction as he lay on the bed he had claimed and took out a novel from his magic pouch that he had brought to read when bored.
It was a quietly flowing daily routine, but Dohyun smiled as if he was quite pleased, and so the first night in the D-rank Zone passed.
* * *
The second day in the D-rank Zone went much more smoothly than the first.
With the map and Analysis’s amazing navigation, Dohyun’s party now had no hesitation at all.
After sweeping through the Labyrinth Goblins and clearing them out in an instant, Dohyun looked back at Hanalin and Jiyuchan and asked.
“The D-rank Zone is definitely stronger.”
“…?”
“I don’t think that’s something the person who just swept away ten goblins alone should say?”
When Hanalin also nodded at Jiyuchan’s point, Dohyun looked at the two as if it was absurd.
Then he said.
“Anyway, tadpoles never remember when they had tails. If we didn’t know Thought Magic or Golden Sword techniques, it would have been quite difficult, right?”
“Ah. That’s true.”
“Hmm, even their hide feels like it has considerable resistance.”
As Jiyuchan said, starting from D-rank monsters, unlike E-rank ones, they gradually developed resistance to mana and their bodies became much sturdier, showing surprisingly tenacious vitality.
Moreover, it wasn’t just that their vitality was tenacious – their strength also far exceeded E-rank, which is why he said that.
Even the relatively weak Labyrinth Goblins moved around in groups of at least seven to ten when weak, and often more than fifteen when numerous.
Monsters that traveled alone were much stronger, so Dohyun’s words were correct.
But the context was a bit strange compared to what Dohyun said next.
“Still, it seems like we’ve adapted to the 1st Floor, so shall we gradually go to the 2nd Floor?”
“…” “…”
Dohyun’s attitude changed as easily as flipping his palm, but when had this been just a day or two thing.
Both shook their heads as if they couldn’t stop him and sighed before answering.
“Sigh, you’d understand even if we just said it that way. Anyway, I’m also in favor of going down to the 2nd Floor. We actually finished adapting yesterday.”
“I’m also in favor. It seems hard to grow here.”
Anyway, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan agreed with Dohyun’s words.
Although the hunting went smoothly, there was a feeling that something was lacking, so both gave permission, and Dohyun nodded with satisfaction.
Honestly, he was getting tired of hunting here, so Dohyun began guiding the way with satisfaction.
“Well then, everyone follow me well.”
Saying that, Dohyun guided the way, and they were able to quickly find the stairs going down to the 2nd Floor. Indeed, Analysis’s navigation performance was excellent.
While moving like that, Dohyun had entrusted the unnecessary map to Hanalin to help her learn pathfinding skills, and she spoke as if something was strange.
“Huh? There’s a door near those stairs going down that’s not on the map?”
“Huh?”
“It’s true.”
At Hanalin’s words, Dohyun and Jiyuchan reacted, and while looking at the newly appeared door with curiosity, they realized it was somehow strangely familiar and were all looking at it with puzzlement.
The door painted pitch black like coal was similar to the Black Gate, so they were looking at it with confusion when information visible only to Dohyun’s eyes appeared.
And seeing that, Dohyun told the two.
“It’s a Dungeon entrance?”
