“Rohan. I have a water bottle with a little bit left. I feel ashamed and should reflect on my carelessness of not replenishing water before returning from Academy City···.”

This is a place where food and water availability are uncertain.

So, let’s collect urine while we are healthy and not dehydrated.

That was the meaning of Zion.

‘indeed.’

If it were true, I would have had to squeeze out my shallow knowledge and think seriously about the situation.

But Rohan is okay.

‘Because there is a store.’

If it were Abyss City, it would have been a skill that ended up just replenishing consumables that were never used, depending on proficiency and control. In the dungeon where it became reality, it became a skill that shined brightly.

Even just the monsters that were already dealt with on their way here are enough to provide the girls with food and water.

Possessing shop skills is literally a human right in the dungeon. The water that Sion is worried about can be purchased with 2P.

As Zion finished speaking, a hand tugged at his collar.

“Brother···.”

Clara, with her lower body gathered into a pigtail, is trembling and looks like she’s about to cry.

I find it admirable that even this kind of reaction seems to move the decision accordingly.

Actually, Clara’s reaction was cute and funny, so I was going to watch a little longer.

If he played around with this, he would get into trouble. Rohan quickly made a decision.

“Zion. The drinking water is fine, so go with Clara. There’s a way.”

“Okay.”

“All right, I’ll be back···!”

After Zion was convinced without a word, he started moving around, looking for a safe location.

Clara followed Zion, glancing back at Rohan with a red face.

“If something happens, shoot or scream!”

The two girls show their own big and small signals to show that they understand.

Rohan went back with him and opened the shop. He scrolled down and bought the item at the bottom.

[ I bought bottled water . ]

I put my hand into the swaying air and take out a glass of cool water.

The first bottled water I bought was plastic, unlabeled, and 500ml in size.

Rohan felt relieved and satisfied with the shop skills working without any problems.

‘I can’t go hungry for even a few days.’

The number of people you have to take responsibility for in the dungeon is not that large, and the expected time until escape is not that long, say several months.

It is also beneficial for Rohan himself to make sure that the two girls are in top condition.

‘I think it’ll be understandable if we end it with a light remark. We’re both tight-lipped.’

There is no way to hide it from Clara and Sion, let alone anyone else.

If you think about the future.

[ +1P ]

[ +1P ]

[ +1P ]

Rohan chuckled at the notification window that appeared while he was pondering.

‘How far have you gone?’

A small noise that you wouldn’t even notice if you weren’t paying attention. Just hearing that gave me points for catching a monster.

It was a light compensation for the goods consumed by the girls who were away.

How long did Rohan stand in the shade, avoiding the sun?

Zion and Clara appeared in good health.

“Nothing happened, right?”

“There were monsters, but they were weak so it wasn’t a problem.”

“···.”

Clara’s expression, with her mouth closed, was a mixture of relief and indescribable embarrassment.

Rohan wanted to comfort her by saying that it was natural and that it was okay, but he was worried that it would be poisonous to the girl’s heart, so he handed the water he was holding to Sion.

“Here’s some drinking water.”

“It seems like I was away for only a few minutes··· It’s amazing. There’s no impurities or foreign substances visible.”

Zion’s eyes could see that the water was clean. When he opened the lid, there was no particular smell.

Rohan told the truth while watching the girl going through the verification process.

“My skill. You won’t run out of food or water until you escape.”

“!”

“···You have incredible abilities.”

“But you can’t take it out indefinitely. There has to be a price.”

“That’s right. Even so, I’m grateful that you even revealed this skill.”

“Brother. Thank you···.”

Clara literally had a close call. Just thinking about it made me dizzy, but it was a blessing in disguise.

I don’t know about anything else, but how can you stand the shame of Rohan drinking his own urine?

Rohan quickened his pace and added a word to the girls.

“Still, I’m thirsty, but it’s not to the point where I have to save water. I’ll try my best to maintain my condition.”

“Yeah!”

“Keep that in mind.”

Aren’t Zion and Clara quick-witted in this regard?

The girls wouldn’t ask what the price of exhaustion was unless Rohan asked first.

It doesn’t even ask whether this living water was created or whether it was something that was stored up.

I know very well that it is not polite to delve into your opponent’s skills.

··

··

I also thought about going in a straight line to the destination to save time.

However, if they are unable to shake off these monsters and are swarmed by tens or hundreds of them, even these two cannot guarantee a complete victory, so it is rejected.

The group moved steadily and quickly.

As the three of them walked along, the monsters gradually began to grow stronger.

The population also began to increase.

“Ugh!”

───Kuuung!!! The refrigerator that had been walking on vines as legs was smashed by Zion’s three-tiered peak and rolled around.

[+2P]

At some point, the number of points earned also increased from 1 to 2.

It must be affected by the level of the monster.

“Look at this. The parasitic form is obvious.”

Zion called out to the two as he watched the monsters stop their activities. The refrigerator door flew off, revealing the inside clearly.

The form in which vines extend internally like blood vessels. The same is probably true for the invisible internal parts.

There is no other word that would describe a product that activates without power supply and makes strange attacks other than monster.

“Because it’s not an ordinary plant, it’s probably some kind of monster.”

The real Rohan knows.

The name of this plant-like monster is Parasitic Ivy. As the name suggests, it is a parasitic vine.

The strength varies depending on what object it is placed on, but of course there is a limit to that.

After finishing his appreciation, Zion wiped the sweat flowing from the heat and put the seal away.

I said out loud the guess I had been thinking about.

“And personally, it feels like they’re trying to stop us from going in this direction.”

“I feel like I’m going to the center.”

“Oh, I guess the place that oppa suggested we go to first was the right one···!”

Rohan agreed without giving in to the wild speculation.

Isn’t it important to maintain a positive attitude and atmosphere at times like this?

Besides, this path is the right one.

““···.””

Before I knew it, more than 5 hours had passed since I fell into the dungeon.

The room was still swelteringly hot. At some point, it was clear that the temperature had passed 40 degrees.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

The three moved faithfully without stopping.

In repeated battles, sweat dripped from the tips of Rohan and Zion’s hair.

Even Clara, who doesn’t suffer from heat, starts to sweat a little.

“Brother.”

“Huh?”

“Well, I was just wondering···.”

“Tell me more comfortably.”

It’s precious to hear Clara speak out like this.

Rohan listened with a smile even while sweating, while Clara looked up at the sky, hesitating.

“Here··· It seems like the sun isn’t moving···.”

“I see. Hasn’t it been quite some time?”

Zion also felt something strange and looked up.

‘You’ve never even shown the time. How clever.’

Rohan wiped the sweat dripping down his face with his sleeve and looked up at the sun in the sky.

As the saying goes, this world is a place where the sun never sets.

The moment I decided to agree with Clara’s guess.

Rohan recalled the curiosity he had buried in his consciousness as he focused on the current situation.

‘But why is this a dungeon related to Solarea?’

This is something I never thought about when playing as the main character.

I also filtered out the speculative posts written by users without reading them because they were not confirmed.

But since Rohan himself is involved with Solarea, it cannot be ignored.

‘It’s related to the country, but it didn’t move south either…’

Rohan rolled his head and chewed over the relevant information.

For some reason, the temple I first opened my eyes to came to mind. I remembered it without rejecting its background.

A country that serves the sun. It was the moment when I continued to ponder over a gap related to Solarea.

[ Rohan’s story is opened . ]

Cognition and awareness.

The anomaly appeared based on Rohan’s awareness of the matter.

‘ah···.’

A sentence seeped into my head.

Spit it out and repeat it clearly, it forces you.

“When the dark races committed their persistent sins, we were sure.”

Murmurs poured out of Rohan’s mouth.

The girls shook their heads.

“Brother?”

“Huh?”

Zion and Clara’s eyes were focused on him, not understanding the words that suddenly came out.

Rohan was still looking at the sky with blank eyes.

“···They fear this power.”
