Chapter 16
Good morning .
Today is the third day since we entered the dungeon .
We have crisply advanced through the 12th floor yesterday and were able to find the stairs to the 13th in the evening . I have decided to stay the night before proceeding further .
Therefore, we are currently staying at the entrance to the 13th floor .
The plan was to head back to the town in three days, but I think we can capture the dungeon today or tomorrow if everything goes smoothly .
I have heard that once we defeat the boss on the 15th floor, we can use a transfer device that would take us directly to the first floor .
In the worst happens and we are not able to defeat the boss, we should be able to get back on the day before the next request .
Having decided to keep on advancing, I prepare the breakfast first .
Today’s menu has been decided .
I beat eggs, sugar, and milk together to create an egg wash, soak the bread that was within the food Syl prepared for me in it . I melt butter in a pre-heated pan, put the bread in the pan and carefully cook both sides .
Un . It’s the French toast .
I pour the honey we obtained yesterday over the dish . U~n, it smells nice .
Well then, itadakimasu .
Oh! Yummy!
I understand the deliciousness with just a bite . Even though there’s intense sweetness, it’s not too heavy . Giant Bee’s honey…… delicious . Indeed, this is worth obtaining by all means .
Allen and Elena also seem to be pleased with it . They are eating in a trance .
After I had observed Allen and Elena eat for a while, I wanted to resume my meal, but a group of Giant Bees suddenly appeared from within the passage . The prey came to us on their own .
「I will take care of it, you two eat up」
I stuff my cheeks with French toast, inform the two while trying to chew it down, stand up and face the Giant Bees .
「《Air Shot》」
First, I aim at the group and shoot a sphere of air .
I was able to shoot down several of them, but more than a half were able to avoid because of their nimbleness .
「《Wind Cutter》」
I shoot several wind blades this time .
The Giant Bees got shot in succession by the wide blades .
Yosh, I was able to defeat them all this time .
After beating all the Giant Bees, I went over and collected all drop items rolling on the floor .
Most of them were wings and stingers, but I was able to obtain two more jars of honey .
While returning to continue my breakfast, another monster emerged from the passage .
Are? It’s another Giant Bee . Let’s clean up for the time being .
But, why do they keep on appearing?
I take a look at our breakfast and suddenly realize . Did the bees smell the sweet scent of honey and came over?
Oh! Could the Giant Bees be lured out by any chance?
It may be worth trying it out .
After the meal, we started the 13th-floor capture right away .
While doing so, I carried an opened jar of honey in my hand .
Then――
「Tou!」「Ho!」「Nsho!」「Yaa!」
As a result, the fact that the Giant Bees are attracted to the scent of honey has been established .
They took the bait! A seriously big catch .
Giant Bees assault us in sequence surprising me in the process . This completely exceeded my expectations!
Of course, the Giant Bees are knocked down by Allen and Elena who fight them joyfully without getting exhausted .
「「H~on, h~on」」
Dozens of Giant Bees have appeared, but they were all defeated .
「「E~y, e~y」」
It seems that honey has ultimately become Allen’s and Elena’s favorite, their mood soars with every discovered jar .
They make an incredibly nice smile each time they pick a jar up . That’s too cute! Was that just now a Honey theme song? They make noises resembling singing while picking up the drop items, but that is also undisputedly cute!
「「Honey, was there~!」」
The Twins trot over to me with a smile and arms full of drop items . Because that was also too cute, I plentily patted their heads .
They should be my siblings based on age, but I’m just like a foolish parent since the beginning……
In the end, after a half a day of honey collecting, we smoothly advanced up to the end of the 14th floor where we found the stairs to the 15th floor .
Honey? Of course, we secured plenty!
