Deep within the labyrinth in Dycat.
From the place where the statue of the goddess stood, a horde of monsters overflowed, and there was no stopping their movement.
The monsters that appeared from Dycat's labyrinth were mostly beast-type, but despite being a labyrinth for beginners, the strength of these monsters ranged from intermediate to advanced classes.
Amidst this horde of monsters, a sheep with golden fur was walking towards the exit.
This sheep, known as the Golden Fleece, was a rare monster that rarely appeared.
However, monsters were appearing at several times, dozens of times, and even hundreds of times the normal rate.
The Golden Fleece, with its legs entangled by a silver metal whip, was led into a dead-end corridor, deviating from its original route.
The Golden Fleece let out a cry of "Baaaah!" but the other monsters paid no attention.
What the Golden Fleece saw was a woman holding a whip and three men pulling it.
They were Elise, Joffrey, Julio, and Suzzino.
"Go, go, go!"
Once it was dragged in sufficiently, at Joffrey's signal, the men attacked the Golden Fleece with their weapons.
The Golden Fleece was not aggressive and was one of the weaker monsters in the intermediate-class labyrinth.
In other words, it was a level that could be defeated by three people working together.
Even as Joffrey's Excalibur inflicted a final blow after being kicked in the face by the Golden Fleece's hind legs, leaving a bruise.
The Golden Fleece dropped lamb meat, a golden fleece, and a rare medal.
"Hehe, it's here again, Julio, the golden fleece."
Suzzino picked up the fallen golden fleece as if cradling a baby.
However, the look in his eyes, filled with desire, was different from that of a parent looking at their child.
The amount of fleece was enough to make three sweaters.
It was a very valuable item, favored by nouveau riche nobles and the wealthy.
With this much, it could sell for 10,000 cents. It was no wonder Suzzino was excited.
"Are you sure it's okay? To take it all for ourselves?"
"Hey, in exchange, we're taking this."
Joffrey picked up the rare medal and fed it to the Slow Donkey Centaur behind them.
"Make sure to eat it well, Centaur."
"Chew it well, Centaur."
The Centaur opened its mouth, took the rare medal, and swallowed it.
While monsters enjoy eating rare medals, the request to chew well was a bit unreasonable.
"It's growing again. I think we can go soon."
Milky, observing the changes in the Centaur's body, muttered.
Among the five people and one creature here, the Centaur was undoubtedly the strongest.
Therefore, to escape from here, the Centaur's strength was necessary. However, in its current state, it was not strong enough, so they decided to defeat rare monsters and feed the Centaur rare medals.
"Are we reaching the limit?"
"The limit hasn't been reached yet."
"Then, let's have it eat a few more. We still have some food left."
Joffrey took out a white bread from the item bag and spoke.
"Joffrey, let's grill the lamb meat!"
"Sure, it's mutton!"
Elise picked up the lamb meat that had just fallen and said with a smile.
"Yeah, but we don't have a mutton grill pan, vegetables, or sauce!"
"Then, it's a mutton grill without the pan, vegetables, and sauce."
Milky wrote a pattern on a card and placed it under a rock.
Heat was emitted from the card, heating the rock. Elise used a fork to arrange the lamb meat on top.
"A mutton grill without the pan, vegetables, and sauce... it's just grilled lamb meat, right?"
Suzzino said in a cold tone.
Even as the smell of grilled meat filled the air, not even herbivorous monsters, let alone carnivorous ones, approached.
Feeling a sense of crisis from this abnormality, Milky watched the Centaur eating the bread Joffrey had placed.
As mentioned earlier, the Centaur had not yet reached its limit.
This was abnormal.
(Normally, a regular monster would not grow any further after eating two rare medals. Even for a dragon, which has a higher limit, it would reach its limit after eating five to ten rare medals and would not grow any further.)
The Centaur had eaten two rare medals given by Joffrey earlier, and now seven more, totaling nine rare medals.
Yet, it did not seem to be reaching its limit.
(What is this monster... is it really just a Slow Donkey?)
Milky looked at Joffrey and Elise, the owners of this mysterious monster.
Joffrey was using a fork to pierce well-cooked meat and feed it to Elise.
(Are they aware? Of the abnormality of this monster...)
Should I ask?
Just as she thought this,
"Julio, eat this, open your mouth."
"I can eat it myself!"
"Just open your mouth."
Joffrey forcefully inserted the meat on the fork into Julio's mouth.
Seeing this everyday scene,
"Hehehehehehe..."
Milky's yaoi filter kicked in, and her mind drifted to a rosy realm.
