「Rin-chan, there’s nothing in the next room」

During a run on the 2nd day of dungeon clearing, Nana who ran ahead clearing the path suddenly stopped and called out.

A combination of her detection skill and her accurate sense of hearing. It also might have been because she already started to memorize the paths. Nana’s detection gradually increased in precision.

「What do you mean?」

「Usually there are monsters or items on the ground, right? The next room, there’s probably no traps either」

Her expression is sloppy as always, but compared to yesterday, her tone of speech is clear.

Stardust Labyrinth is not a rogue-like dungeon.

The map is not randomly generated, but formed by selecting ten out of the twenty-one available floor plans and arranging them. The stairs aren’t placed in a room. In the first place, rooms are rather rare here. It’s basically a cave type dungeon.

We are only calling the huge spaces on the maps as 「room」 out of convenience.

Though, if you go to a 「room」, then there’ll be a monster or item, so it actually does feel like a room. Compared to the passage it should be a rather special area.

So saying that there’s nothing there, Nana should have felt something dangerous.

「What do you guys think?」

『Even if you ask us that』

『I think it’s a trap』

『One chance rare monster』

『Me thinks rare monster too』

『Trap』

『Trap』

『Great God Chikuwa』

『It’s a trap for sure』

『Oi, wasn’t there a strange comment just now』

Certainly I too, if I grasp the danger beforehand then I can put up my guard in case there’s something there.

For example, just like what a lot of the watchers think, a trap. Many of the traps set around the dungeon have been easily discovered by Nana and evaded, so I don’t really mind it.

Since Nana who keeps on finding traps says that there seems to be no trap, then at least the probability of a physical trap is low.

Considering the map outline in my mind, the next room is unusually spacious. Even if we don’t go through the room, there are other routes toward the stairs, so it’s possible to backtrack toward a different route.

Or maybe there’ll be an appearance of a strong rare monster. Sometimes there are cases like that, if it’s like that then advancing through will be correct.

If this is a trap, should we avoid it or take a chance in the case of a rare monster.

The choice is tempting. If I’m with Nana, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

「Let’s go. At worst we can repeat the run again」

「Nn, got it. Then I’ll go ahead」

And thus, I regretted this choice.

The moment Nana’s foot stepped into the room, where there was previously nothing, a huge amount of monsters warped in.

In a big wide spacious room the monsters continued to spawn. The number had already surpassed fifty, a huge number that might even reach a hundred.
