261 – Fight Fire With Fire #3

Mirna’s attitude seemed somewhat brusque and angry, though I already knew the reason. So, to calm her down, I spoke up.

“Mirna-nim, it wasn’t my true feelings; I was just reciting the activation phrase. There’s no reason for me to say that I like naked women in public.”

“... Who said anything? More importantly, why is the dungeon’s activation phrase like that?”

“They say dungeon activation phrases are set to words that aren’t commonly used in everyday life. That’s probably why.”

“Humph.”

Women’s hearts were difficult to understand. Now I got why the kings of Angmar, who took many wives, often met short and tragic ends.

To change the mood, I said cheerfully.

“Mirna-nim, let’s start by reading the dungeon entry rules. It says we should repeat them out loud before entering.”

「32nd Street Central Market Dungeon Entry Rules」

「1. No gossip or horseplay in the dungeon.」

「2. Return the manual and hourglass found inside the dungeon to their proper places upon exiting.」

「3. Be sure to fill out the entry register...」

Was there a manual for the dungeon?

Looking around, I saw a small booklet tied to a pillar.

Opening it, I found it contained information on the flora and fauna that inhabited the dungeon, the boss monster, and the drop rewards.

How surprisingly thorough... Was this what a managed dungeon is like?

As I was scanning the notice posted on the pillar...

“I’m not a novice like you, Sir Theo. I’ve received an A twice in the Introduction and Understanding of Dungeon Studies!”

A motivated Mirna ran # Nоvеlight # off without even reading the rules.

I wondered if it was okay not to read the precautions, but judging from the manual, there didn’t seem to be any monsters that could harm Mirna.

━Crab, crab-.

━Crab-.

Click, clack.

As we walked through the old ruins of a collapsed temple, giant crabs covered in gray lime swarmed us.

They were called Trap-Crabs.

Their size was about half my torso, making them quite intimidating. If caught by one of their two pincers, it could cause serious injury.

“Lady Mirna, be careful. It said that any magic below the 2nd rank will just bounce off their hard shells. Also, you need to be careful of...”

“With guys like this, a sword is enough!”

Sreung.

Mirna drew a longsword from her waist.

She deftly maneuvered between the crabs, gracefully slicing through the thin joints of their limbs.

“Kyaah!”

Her peculiar battle cry was unusual, but Mirna seemed quite skilled with a sword. Was it because swordsmanship was a basic discipline for high ranking young ladies?

Paseuseuk-.

Just then, something emerged from the ground and grabbed Mirna’s ankle.

━Crab-. Crab-.
