Because Rosen and his group were quite cooperative, Senshi volunteered to join their party.
On one hand, it was because Rosen's group had a complete party setup, and on the other hand, it was mainly because they weren't resistant to monster cuisine.
He had tried to find other parties before, but they all politely declined monster dishes.
After the break, everyone continued forward.
Rosen and the others had no intention of hiding their intentions from the natives of Delicious in Dungeon.
"The plot is the plot. Although everything so far has been as you've seen, it cannot be denied that the situation might change. If the Red Dragon's stomach acid digestion ability is stronger than what you've seen, it might digest Falyn without leaving a trace."
"If no part of Falyn's body or skeleton can be found at all, even black magic wouldn't be able to revive her, right?"
Upon hearing this, Marcille completely panicked.
"Then... then what should we do?! Falyn can't die, I still want to save her!"
Looking at the flustered Marcille, Fubuki couldn't help but look at Laios and Senshi, who were catching monsters in the forest ahead.
"Speaking of which, the most obvious drawback of your party is a lack of sense of crisis. And even though you're veteran adventurers who have delved deep into the dungeon many times, your performance against some monsters is no different from that of a novice."
"It was like this in the anime, right? You're going to rescue someone, but you often waste time on various trivial matters."
Hearing this, Frieren, who was nearby, strongly agreed.
"For example, stepping on overly obvious traps, or still not being able to cleanly defeat monsters you've fought several times."
"There is indeed such a problem. If it weren't for resurrection magic, you probably would have been wiped out long ago."
Saeko Busujima, who lived in the apocalypse, said.
"Is... is that so?"
Marcille was a bit speechless from being lectured.
However, before joining the chat group, she truly had no reverence for death.
At the same time, she felt a bit embarrassed for dying during her first dungeon delve by getting her face covered in slime.
"It's good that you realize the problem; let's discuss the main business first."
Rosen glanced at Gabriel, who was also happily catching monsters with Laios and the others.
"It's not difficult to enter the lower levels of the dungeon."
He had learned Godspeed.
As long as he knew the exact location of the dungeon's lower levels, he could take people into the depths of the dungeon at any time.
All the girls also thought of the special ability Gabriel had used in the previous world.
"So, next, we'll just go directly to the lower levels and find Falyn, right?"
Fubuki pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Marcille.
"But just being able to go to the lower levels isn't enough; we also need to confirm the Red Dragon's location first. Do you have any way to do that?"
"Uh... this..."
Marcille scratched her head.
"Dragons don't stay in one place; they migrate between several floors of the dungeon to hunt.
However, it's only been a day since we last escaped the dungeon, so even if it left its original floor, it wouldn't be too far.
Therefore, if we start searching from a few floors above and work our way down, there's a high probability we'll find the Red Dragon's tracks."
"Then let's go directly to the uppermost area where the dragon frequently roams, find it, and kill it immediately.
Let's make it a quick battle."
Rosen suggested.
Everyone had no objection, but Frieren was a bit disheartened.
"We might miss treasure chests."
"It's okay, once Falyn is revived, we can stay here for a while longer.
Then, if you're interested, you can explore from the beginning."
"Alright, it's settled then."
Frieren raised her head again.
And at this moment.
Gabriel and the others also returned with a full haul.
The second floor of the dungeon was much wider than the first.
It was more like a forest than an underground area.
Therefore, the number of monsters inhabiting it was also considerable; they brought back a pile of prey after just a few minutes.
Gabriel dragged a Walking Mushroom with one hand, and with the other, she pulled several Mandrakes, plants whose roots resembled human figures.
These plants emit a scream when pulled out that can drive people insane if heard.
To prevent them from screaming, their heads must be cut off with a dagger before pulling them out, but this causes some loss of flavor.
"Everyone, I plan to take these back and eat them slowly!
Senshi even taught me how to cook them!"
Although Rosen doubted Gabriel's cooking skills, he actually intended to bring some monster ingredients from the dungeon back to eat.
"The young lady is very interested in monster cuisine, and she even said she'd give me a lot of modern seasonings.
It's incredible that you all are from another world."
Senshi said in a muffled voice.
"But I'm very curious what dishes made with seasonings from another world would taste like."
"By the way, everyone, what do you plan to eat for your next meal?
Are goblins okay?"
As he spoke, Laios held a green-skinned humanoid monster whose head had been severed, with green blood still oozing from the wound.
"Absolutely not!
No humanoids!
No demi-humans either!
The Walking Mushroom is already delicious enough!
Why do we have to eat that kind of thing?!"
Marcille immediately retorted.
And more than these strange ingredients, she wanted to eat sweet cakes and pastries.
Then, she looked at Laios and said, "Instead of this, aren't you worried about Falyn?
If she's completely digested by the dragon, she can never be saved."
After being enlightened by Rosen and the others, Marcille also realized the problem.
But the key was that this was a common problem for all adventurers.
Hearing this, Laios was momentarily stunned, but then he scratched his head and said, "But even if you say that, we can only move slowly to the lower floors.
If there was a way to reach the deep levels instantly, I would certainly wish for it."
One minute later.
Rosen led all members into the Red Dragon's activity floor.
Laios, Chilchuck, and several other natives opened their mouths in astonishment.
Although they had seen spatial teleportation magic, it was difficult and generally only allowed short-distance teleportation of inanimate objects.
Or there was 'Escape Magic' that could directly exit the dungeon, but they had never seen magic that allowed free teleportation within the dungeon!
