Chapter 145 Strongest Sage, Explains the Situation

We immediately went to the guild after leaving the dungeon .

I put our baggage in the Storage magic since I knew that I didn't really need the mana right now, but my mana won't recover if I keep this on .

Fortunately, the guild is close by the dungeon .

"We'd like to sell some materials . "

" . . . You guys went inside the dungeon at a time like this?"

The receptionist girl looked at us like she couldn't believe it .

I guess entering the dungeon after so many people fell victims makes us look rash .

The dungeon cities in my past life got it even worse at their worst though . . . . Well, I shouldn't judge this world using the same standard considering the current technology is underdeveloped .

And since we've returned safely, there should be no problem here .

"Yes . That said, we didn't encounter any strong monster though . "

"Oh right, it shouldn't be that dangerous in the upper floors . . . You don't have a lot with you either . "

Looks like she got it .

The part about not having a lot is a mistake on her part though .

Guess it's faster if I just show it .

"We don't have a lot because of Storage magic . . . . See . "

I took out the materials we brought .

Seeing that . . . the receptionist girl's expression froze halfway through .

"Anything wrong?"

"E-err . . . . What are those materials?"

The receptionist girl pointed at the materials we brought .

We only picked up the relatively better materials with us as we descended through the dungeon . . . . but the ones that remain in the end are the materials from that bird .

Even though it was beaten into a mess, the materials are still in a whole different class compared to other monsters, which were just too weak .

"They're from a bird monster we defeated in the dungeon . . . . I didn't partake in the subjugation though, these three were the ones who did it . "

I pointed at Ruli and the others .

"It was Mathi-kun who made that magic circle though . . . . "

"I mean, I feel that Iris-san did most of the work . "

While saying that, Ruli and the others brought the materials so they could be better looked at .

The receptionist girl had a perplexed look when she saw the materials . . . then she turns around and shouts out .

"Branch Head! Big news!"

"What's wrong!"

"It's materials from the monster from yesterday!"

A middle aged man rushed out of the back to hear the receptionist's voice .

He's probably the branch head .

I don't remember us doing anything worth getting fussed over though . . . .

Or rather . . . What does she mean by the monster from yesterday? This bird monster?

We delved into the dungeon for the sake of defeating the monster who annihilated adventurer joint party . . . but we couldn't find that monster y'know?

I wait for their reaction next while carrying that doubt .

And the branch head . . . Asks this question .

"Where did you get these materials?"

"It should be from floor 11 . "

" . . . Why did you go to floor 11 at this day?"

It kinda feels like he's suspecting us in his confusion .

Yeah, I guess going to floor 11 without any reason is suspicious .

As I'd also like to report about our failure in finding any strong monster, I should tell them the truth here .

"We heard that there was a strong monster in the dungeon, so we went to see how it was . Well, we didn't find that monster even after getting to floor 18 though . "

"In the end, this guy was the strongest!"

"Right, most other monsters were done in one hit . . . . "

Iris and Alma gave their own impressions after I explained the situation .

Seeing that, the branch head . . . put his hands on his head while looking like he wanted to say, 『The hell they're going on about』 .

And then he muttered .

"W-what's with these guys . . . I heard that the Second Academy was bad news this year, but these kids are just too weird . . . "

What? Am I imagining things or did he just suddenly bad mouthed us .

I don't get what's going on, I should ask his story .

" . . . Is there any problem?"

"No, not problem, I mean . . . That thing is that monster . . . "

The branch head pointed at the bird materials we brought as he said that .

. . . Eh? This thing is?
