Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~ Chapter 82

Chapter 82
Chapter 82 – Dungeon of Ripples・Capture 9

Because the alligator meat from yesterday was far easier to eat and more delicious than I thought, both I and the children liked it, so they decided to get even more alligator meat today .
I stopped them in panic . We already have plenty of alligator meat, I somehow persuaded them .
That being the case, we have promptly descended the staircase we have found today and started the capture of the twenty-second floor .
《Let’s get in high spirits and go~!》
「「Ohh~」」
『Nnaa~』
Because the twenty-second floor’s passage also had a knee-height water level, I put Allen and Elena on Joule, held the small Feat in my hands and we departed .
《Ah, alligator discovered~!》
「「Yay~ Joule, do your best~」」
《Here I go~!》
Just as we set out, a White Alligator has appeared and Joule who discovered it vigorously broke into a run .
《Tooh~!》
「Gyaahーーー!」
Joule easily trampled the White Alligator .
《Meat get~》
「「Get~」」
The dropped items are alligator meat and…… this is a topaz!
A rare drop jewel right from the start…… seriously, where did the low drop chance go to? Aren’t they dropping too much?
《Ah, another one discovered~!》
「「Meat~」」
Allen and Elena love sparkly things, but they were happier about the meat this time . Do they like the alligator meat that much?
「Next, Allen!」
「Elena too~」
《Sure~ Can you go from here? Shall I approach a little bit more?》
「「Is fine~ ――《Water Jet》」」
《Yay~ It’s meat again~》
「「Yay~」」
Before I come to myself, the children defeated an alligator and obtained meat again .
The meat won’t rot because it’s stored in the《Infinite Storage》, but we got enough meat to eat it regularly for a few years . But, while that may be true, the children would get angry at me if I sold it, right? No, they won’t get angry…… I feel like they would be sulking .
I would be troubled if they sulked, so as I thought, I can’t sell the alligator meat~
Ah, I could gift it to Cedric-san and others! The children wouldn’t tell me not to then .
But, I should confirm with them first .
「Oy~ Even if you get so much alligator meat, I won’t be able to use it all~ What do you say about gifting Cedric-san and others some?」
「「Un, gift~」」
《Okay~》
『Naa~』
I heard the words of approval from everyone . With this, the stock of the alligator meat will decrease .
Then, while thinking such――
《Then, we have to defeat more alligators!》
「「Ohh~」」
「………… Excuse me?」
It appears they intend to get even more alligator meat .
No, wait a moment! Even though we already have plenty of alligator meat, why are you set on obtaining even more!?
「「That way~」」
《Alright, here I go~》
Without being able to stop them, Allen, Elena, and Joule ran off to get more alligator meat .
Huh…… I feel like it would be useless even if I stopped them? Ah~……
『Naa~』
While dejected over the different plan, Feat snuggled up to close in order to comfort me .
While being healed, I hastily followed after the children .
After that, we were alligator hunting all day long . Though I wanted to stop them…… I couldn’t .
Understandably, we obtained a massive quantity of alligator meat . Alligator meat of such quantity…… seriously, what to do……
◇ ◇ ◇
The next day after the second consecutive day of alligator hunting, we stepped on the twenty-third floor .
There, the knee-deep water level returned to the ankle depth .
It’s not necessary to let Allen and Elena ride Joule, but they said that they want Joule and Feat to go with us, so I decided to take them along .
Ah, Feat is being carried by me as usual though .
The journey was smooth and we favorably progressed . The reason being the children instantly killing all the monsters that appeared . My turn has quite not come yet, but I’m enduring, the children are enjoying themselves and I can’t barge in uninvited, after all~
While thinking such, we have discovered a treasure chest hidden along the path .
We haven’t found one that wasn’t in a hidden room, but it was magnificently placed in the middle of the path .
「「Treasure~…… huuh~?」」
Allen and Elena rushed up to the treasure chest, but they stopped in the middle for some reason .
「What’s wrong?」
《What, what?》
『Nnaa?』
「「Somewhat weird~?」」
「N?」
Allen and Elena pointed at the treasure chest and proclaimed it weird .
I immediately used【Appraisal】on the treasure chest . Doing that, I found that it’s a mimic――a monster that camouflaged itself as a treasure chest .
「That is a mimic . A monster」
「「Mimic~?」」
《A fake~?》
『Nnaa~?』
Even though it looks like a treasure chest until the moment you open it, the two noticed it well . As expected of them .
「Right . It’s a fake treasure chest . It pretends to be a treasure chest and assaults those who approach it」
『Naa~』
「N? Ah, Feat wants to defeat it? It would work with magic . Sure, go ahead Feat」
『Nnaa!』
When I give permission to Feat who wanted to defeat it, Feat immediately fired《Wind Cutter》and attacked the mimic . Then, with a bang, a white smoke escaped from the mimic and the pattern on the treasure chest changed .
It appears that this is a genuine treasure chest .
「Allen, Elena, want to open it?」
「「Un, will open~」」
Since it seemed that there are no more gimmicks, the two opened the chest and when I looked inside, there was a Transfer Magic Tool (simple) inside .
「「What is it~?」」
「A transfer magic tool」
Speaking simply, it’s that . That thing which the guild uses to send letters .
It’s a convenient thing, but it’s useless without the recognition code of the recipient .
However, should I sell it or hold onto it? It might eventually become needed . Besides, if I got another magic tool of the same kind, I would be able to exchange with whomever I liked .
「「Transfer~?」」
「Right . Remember how we instantly moved from the hall to the tenth floor?」
「「Un!」」
「This can do the same thing . This fellow can only send letters or small things to a person with the same thing though」
「「《Ohh~》」」
『Nnaa~』
The children raised their voices of admiration .
Do Allen and Elena properly understand? But, I feel like Joule and Feat didn’t understand at all, but somehow raised their voices in consent . Well, Joule and Feat are monsters, so it might be possible that transfer equipment wasn’t necessary for their daily lives until now .
「Alright . Then, shall we keep going?」
「「Un! That way~」」
With Allen and Elena pointing out the direction, we soon discovered the staircase to the twenty-fourth floor .
We continued the capture and were able to find the staircase leading to the twenty-fifth floor .
That was all for the day . I decided to rest before descending .
By the way, alligator meat was used for today’s dinner . We ate it deep-fried with soy sauce . Un, it was immensely delicious .
