You always wondered what the other parties did in their adventures. What pushes a person to enter in a monster-filled dungeon where, even if they can't die, nothing spare you from the pain of dying, the pain of seeing someone die, the feeling of being lost with the pangs of hunger that slowly eat you alive. Is it money? Is it the feeling of adrenaline? Of wanting to get hold of answers that on the surface you won't find?

You had a lot of time, in your lonely journey, to wonder about this question. How do other parties work together? Did they fight monsters everyday? Explore unknown places? Everyone works in different ways. So what is gonna be the next action of Laios, the leader of this party that you have joined?

You were ready to fight exhausting battles, defeat strong enemies and monsters. You were ready to rescue this Falin, the beloved sister of your blonde leader. So once that is done you can focus on your dear friend.

Yea. . .exhausting battles. . .strong enemies and monsters. . .

Your blank gaze analized the orange pigment of the vegetable in your hand. The poor carrot matched back your 'done-for' look with the same enthusiasm. But maybe that was because it was an inanimate object. Harvesting vegetables. . .never in your life you would have thought of harvesting vegetables from golems in a dungeon.

"It's been a while since we've eaten real veggies!" mused Marcille glad to finally put something that didn't came from monsters, or were the monsters themselve, inside her mouth. You looked at the pile of vegetables sitting in a corner. It came out that Senshi had a base inside the dungeon itself and that he was using the Golems as living fields for his little farms. Also it seems that when that door regurgitated you inside that castle hall, you ended up near the 3rd floor of the dungeon.

You were so close to the surface! Maybe the dungeon really decided to have mercy on you after all.

"Bring the weeds over here. If ye pile them up they will wither away in no time" called Senshi taking a big chunk of weeds before approaching the practically death golems "As for the old ones. Put them back into the golems and they will decompose back into the soil" and so he did as he said, dropping the weeds into the golem. Then he took a spoon full of fertilizer "There! Now we put it into the golems too!"

"I knew it!" shouted Marcille pointing her finger at the dwarf "You knew where the golem core was because you yourself put it there, didnt you?!" she crossed her arms in disbelief "I'm shocked! Activating magical creatures without permission is a crime, you know?"

Sheshi looked at her before tilting his head, clearly not understanding where the problem was.

Which made Marcille angrier.

Pushing the plow you let out an 'huff', amused by the whole ordeal "This is surely an. . .innovative way to grow vegetables" by your side Laios hummed, finishing to plant another seed "Isnt it awesome? I didnt know monster could be used to grow plants! I wonder, what other monster have the same usage?" He rambled out and you swear you saw stars appear near his head illuminating his joyful expression. Its actually kinda cute how much he is excited when the topic of monster came up.

Somewhere both Chilchuck and Marcille felt a shiver run down their back.

"By the way, you don't look tired a bit now that I think about it! Did you have any experience with harvesting?" You nodded, wiping away the sweat from your forehead "I told you no? I'm more resilient than I look like, but to tell the truth maybe its because my father used to be a farmer and I helped him a lot when I was a kid" you thought back to your childhood with fond memories before your expression suddenly dropped into a grim one.
