Chapter 16

Good morning .

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 b.u.t.ter 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 .

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 pa.s.sage . 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 pa.s.sage .

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?

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 a.s.sault 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!
