After Being Exiled From the Country, I Became the Fourth Enchanter in the World!

Chapter 95 Reason and Emotion Are Two Different Things

We started our labyrinth exploration… or rather, Purgatory hunt with the guild master.

It would be a problem if the Purgatory guys saw us together, so we asked the guild master to hide his mouth.

We also decided to change the way we call him from Guild Master to Dan-san.

「If it gets tough, please don’t force yourself and tell us. We will let you rest at that time.」

「Sorry~. It’s pathetic, but I’m probably going to be a burden, so I’ll be in your care at that time.」

It seems that Dan-san has recovered from the previous damage, and he’s returned to his usual self.

Or rather… maybe he’s being considerate so as not to make the atmosphere worse than this.

Other than me, the three are quite angry with Dan-san this time.

According to Ian… 「There is a high possibility that the guild master has been overlooking the wrongdoings of Purgatory for many years. Setting aside their relationship with Nazar, there’s no way he wouldn’t notice that kind of shady organization in that position!」, or something like that.

As for Esther, he expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, 「If he had taken action earlier, there would have been no assassination attempt on Onii-sama…」.

I have the same perception as Ian, but I think he probably had to keep quiet due to certain circumstances.

Ian and Esther probably understand this, but… reason and emotion are two different things, and there’s no way they wouldn’t get angry if our lives are being targeted.

The anger of the three is understandable, and I think Dan-san deserves it since he was unable to fulfill his role as the guild master for many years.

That’s why I won’t force them to get along.

「Sorry. It’s about time I reach my limit. Can I take a break?」

Since we’re still on the upper floors, there’s no need to be wary of monsters and traps.

We kept moving forward without minding the difference in status, but Dan-san gave up on the 14th floor.

Well, it’s like a normal person running at the same pace as a marathon world record holder, so it’s a natural result.

On the contrary, I think he did a good job so far.

After all, we were running nonstop for about four hours….

「Understood. Nina, do you want to take a break too?」

「Yes!」

「Hm? Aren’t you all going to stop and take a break?」

Dan-san, who didn’t know about how we take a break, asked so.

「That is a waste of time. Besides, we can use them on this floor….」

「Whoa!?」

When I brought out two metal golems while answering his question, he let out a surprised voice.

At the same time as he made such a big reaction, I could see a few hairs flying from his head, so I almost burst into laughter.

「You will rest in the basket that this golem is carrying!」

The golems will carry the two of them while they’re resting.

But well, it’s faster to run on our own, and if everyone is in the basket, we can’t deal with incoming attacks, so we only use this method to rest.

「I understand that you guys are out of the norm. (Most magicians can’t control golems while moving…. Even if they can, they won’t do it since they will run out of magic power….)」

Dan-san looked at me with an amazed face.

I think it’s a good method, though….

It’s hard to take a long break on the 16th to 20th floors, so we decided to eat on the 15th floor.

「There are hardly any adventurers around here, so we can rest without any worries~」

「We’re just going to eat, right?」

Well, there won’t be any problem if we just eat dried meat and hard bread like Dan-san, but… our meals are made with great care by Nina.

Nina’s cooking has always been delicious, but after successfully leveling up her cooking skill… the scent alone began to attract adventurers.

It’s fine if it’s a place with not many people like the tropical floor, but it’s fatal if it’s a place where many adventurers pass through.

The people who tried to buy it with money are better, but… there were people who attacked us to steal the food, and there were people who kneeled on their knees and beg for the food.

Aside from adventurers who want to get along with us like Luke-san from <Elder Tree>, most of them were good-for-nothing,

We either refused or kicked them away when we got involved with them, but… doing that in front of the guild master is bad in various ways….

Stewed green calf meat, homemade bread, gelato, tarts, etc… many foods are spread out on the table and everyone eats them leisurely.

Of course, we also have a full line-up of drinks, such as goman juice, white cow milk, and fragrant black tea.

「The white bread soaked in stew is superb as usual~ ♪」

「We’ve moved a lot, so the stewed food tastes even better.」

Dan-san is staring at the table while drooling, and he sometimes slaps his face as if to restrain himself.

…… And near him, Nina and Ian are eating in a way as if to show off the food.

Both of them have been casually harassing him since the exploration began.

It’s clearly intentional again this time, and I think it’s quite a mental breaker.

Esther is glancing at Dan-san, perhaps he’s feeling sorry for him.

However, his anger seems to be getting the better of him, so he doesn’t try to help him.

I also felt somewhat displeased with the matter this time… that’s why I presented the mean conditions of zero compensation and no food.

Still, Dan-san himself is a good person, and I feel sorry for him if he’s being bullied too much… so I guess it’s about time I patch things up.
