Extra: What Uzoh and Muzoh Are Doing Now

Lake Izamu is in a cold area . There is a dungeon on the lake’s solitary island that can only be accessed during the winter when the lake is frozen over, [Ice Mirror Labyrinth] .

This dungeon also had talks of magic swords being easy to acquire in it, so it was a pretty popular dungeon .

There were currently a pair of adventurers advancing their exploration through its mysterious corridors while paying careful attention to their surroundings .

“Hmm…”

“What now, Uzoh?”

“Well, doesn’t look like we’ve found a magic sword, Muzoh . ”

“… Well, maybe it’ll appear on its own if we keep going?”

The Uzoh Muzoh duo where looking for a magic sword to pay back the person who saved their lives .

Although they were the ones to set the one year deadline, they hadn’t found a magic sword yet .

They were also saving up, but they didn’t have enough to buy a magic sword yet either .

“Well, Kehma-san said that we shouldn’t overwork ourselves . ”

“[Return the magic sword even if it takes two years, just don’t do something unreasonable and get yourselves killed] was it? That message we got through the guild… Seriously, Kehma-san’s on another level, Uzoh . ”

“I want to work harder and pay him back! Muzoh!”

“Rather, Uzoh . Seems Kehma-san’s turned into a village chief?”

“Eh, he stopped being an adventurer!? I didn’t hear that, Muzoh!”

“No . He’s still an adventurer . At the usual dungeon… [Cave of Desires] yeah? They set up a village around it… ah . ”

He easily brushed aside a snowball-looking monster that started attacking him .

It was a monster that appeared often in this dungeon, a snowball . They were very weak alone, but they turn into pretty troublesome enemies when they group up into a snowman .

“But man, that dungeon seems to have turned into a pretty good one, Uzoh . ”

“Really? Muzoh . ”

“Like there’s iron golems popping up there now . Magic swords too . ”

“… If magic swords are showing up there, shouldn’t we head back to [Cave of Desires]? Muzoh . ”

“Could we show our faces to him without a magic sword? Uzoh . ”

“Nope! Stupid question, Muzoh!”

Strolling through the ice labyrinth, Uzoh and Muzoh searched for a treasure chest . They exterminated several kinds of cold-type monsters that appeared on their way, like ice goblins, blue lizards, and cold wolves . They weren’t a pair of C-Ranks just for show .

They were on their guard for traps, but this dungeon didn’t have many of them . The worst of it was what they were standing on was slippery due to ice, but it wasn’t much of a problem since they wore spikes .

And so, on the second day of their exploration inside [Ice Mirror Labyrinth], they finally came across a treasure chest . In two days, just one . There were so many parties diving into this particular dungeon that even though they’d just found a single chest, they were the lucky ones .

“… This is a pretty normal pace ain’t it, Muzoh . ”

“Even though we saw a lot of treasure chests when we first dove into [Cave of Desires]…”

There was also the inn stuff, so [Cave of Desires] was incomparable to other dungeons in various ways . That’s what Uzoh felt .

“So, what’s in it?”

“Give me a sec… Yep, no traps . Uzoh, you wanna check it out too?”

“Yeah . Excuse me from getting locked up in a room again, Muzoh . ”

After their time spent being trapped in the [Magic Sword Test Room], they’d both been studying traps to deepen their understanding of them . As they’d had to live through what it felt like to almost lose their lives while diving into a dungeon, not just Muzoh, but Uzoh also had enough scouting skills now to work as one .

After taking some time to carefully check whether or not it was trapped, they took a bit of a distance away and used a pole to open the treasure chest .

… It appeared as though there really wasn’t a trap .

“… So, what’s in it?”

“Let’s see… eh, there’s no sword . A magic tool? Uzoh, you wanna check them out?”

Muzoh passed the magic tool in his hand to Uzoh .

It was shaped very closely to a baseball . He couldn’t figure out its use, but there was a spot to put a magic stone in, so he knew immediately that it was a magic tool .

It was probably an ice-producing magic tool as those appeared in this dungeon quite often . If so, they’d make a decent amount of money by selling it .

“Hmm? What kind of magic tool is this? Maybe we could sell it to buy a magic sword?”

“Best thing to do would be to get the guild to appraise it . Well, how about we stop here this time? Uzoh . ”

“Yeah, even without the magic tool we’ve picked up a lot of monster materials on the way, so let’s head back . ”

Uzoh and Muzoh decided to head back . It was even colder than they’d thought it would be, so they wanted to hurry up and get back to town to eat some warm soup .

That in mind, they retraced their path at a quick pace .
