"Hey, Sister Yuriko, let's go eat!"
"Mhmm! I'm hungry!! "
In response to Yui and Flan's request, Yuriko suddenly remembered the crystal-like relics left behind by the monsters that disappeared after they defeated them in the underground city.
Flan was interested in these shiny things, so the three of them collected some.
[I seem to have seen many adventurers collecting those things along the way. It seems that those are valuable.]
If they were valuable, they could be traded.
[Although I'm not sure how much they are worth, but those people were fighting monsters to collect these things even though they weren't that strong. It shouldn't be too cheap.]
With this in mind, Yuriko decided to use these things as payment for the time being.
Yuriko put her hands on Yui's and Furando's heads, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Okay, let's go eat!"
○
"Welcome to the 'Mistress of Abundance'!!"
Yuriko, who was looking for a suitable shop with Yui and Flan, found a shop that seemed to be a tavern after turning a corner.
Two cute girls in green waiters' uniforms with white aprons stood at the door.
When they saw Yuriko with two little lolis at the door, the two girls immediately put on a bright smile and went forward.
Flan and Yui skipped in front of the two girls and looked up at them.
"Eh? Yui, look, they have ears and tails! "
"Sister, are you Nekomata too? Just like Orange Meow? "
Nekomata? What's that?
The two cat-people girls looked at each other, confused.
Yuriko patted the two little lolis' heads and said to the cat-people girls apologetically, "I'm sorry for the trouble."
"Ah meow! It's okay meow! "
The brown-haired cat-person girl immediately tilted her head and waved her hands.
"We're cat-people meow, not 'Nekomata' meow! By the way, what is' Nekomata 'meow? "
"Anya! Don't always ask strange questions! It'll cause trouble for the customers! "
"Hey … Luo Luo, you're always like this meow …"
After being reprimanded by the catgirl called Loluo, Anya, who seemed to have a cheerful personality, immediately lowered her head. Even her cat ears drooped down.
"My three guests, please follow me."
After saying that to Anya, Luo Luo led the three into the shop.
"Please wait."
"Hmm? Is there anything else I can help you with? "
"It's like this — —"
Yuriko stretched out her right hand, and there was a dark purple crystal in her palm.
"Because of some reasons, we don't have any money on us. Can we pay with this?"
Luo Luo and Anya looked at each other with a troubled expression.
"Can't I?"
"No no no! It's not like that, meow! "
Aniya waved her hands repeatedly.
"It's just that Luoluo and I don't know how much these things are worth, meow! It turned out that this servant girl was also an adventurer, meow! Can maids also be adventurers, meow? Can a waitress like Anya also become an adventurer, meow? "
"Anya! You're acting like this again! "
After lightly knocking on Anya's head, Luo Luo immediately bowed to Yuriko and apologised.
"I'm very sorry, my guest! Dear customer, Ania said that we aren't sure of the value of the Dungeon's products, so we have to consult the store manager. "
"No problem."
"Then, my three guests, please follow me!"
After instructing Anya to continue receiving guests at the entrance, Luo Luo led Yuriko and the other two into the tavern.
"Manager Miya! I have something to trouble you with! "
Although it was close to noon, there weren't many guests in the tavern.
After all, a tavern like this would only be lively at night.
At that time, adventurers who had returned from their adventures would mostly go to the tavern in twos and threes to have a drink and boast to their companions about their experiences during the day.
"Oh? Chloe, what's the matter? "
Behind the bar counter was a tall and burly woman with a ponytail.
"It's like this …"
Luo Luo told Miya about Yuriko's request.
"I see …" Miya looked at Yuriko and said, "Can you show me the Magic Stone?"
[Magic Stone? Is that called a Magic Stone?]
With that thought in mind, Yuriko casually handed over a magic stone.
"This is —?"
Miya raised her eyebrows when she saw the Magic Stone.
"— I didn't expect you to be so powerful. This Magic Stone can only be found on the 18th floor and deeper."
"The 18th floor?!"
Luo Luo exclaimed.
"But since you have the Magic Stone, why don't you go directly to the Union to exchange it for money instead of using it for a transaction?"
Miya looked at Yuriko and asked.
"Isn't it because the two ladies are hungry? If we go to the Union, it'll be delayed. It won't be good if we starve the ladies, so we want to deal with it first. "
Yuriko casually gave a reason.
[Union? Can this Magic Stone be exchanged for common currency in that place? Looks like I have to ask around when I go out.]
"Is that so …"
Miya was still puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it. Instead, she looked at the crystal wings on Flandora's back strangely.
"Using this Magic Stone for a transaction? Which clan are you ladies from?"
[Clan? What's that?]
Hearing another unfamiliar term, Yuriko secretly memorized it in her heart.
Miya turned around and walked toward the kitchen while throwing the Magic Stone back.
"Crowley, these three guests can order whatever they want to eat. Anyway, with the value of the Magic Stone, you don't have to worry about them not being able to afford it."
"Okay! Manager Miya! "

Night.
Standing on the hills on the outskirts of the city, Eight-cloud Ink sighed as she looked at the brilliant starry lights below.
In order to connect the Fantasy Town's Jianmu with the other world, she had to stay in this world.
Once the connection was successful, the Fantasy Power of this world could be quickly absorbed by the Jianmu — this speed was much faster than before.
The absorbed power could accelerate the growth of the Jianmu, and the growth of the Jianmu could in turn accelerate the speed of connecting with the new world.
This virtuous cycle would allow the Jianmu and Eight-cloud Ink to grow faster and faster.
At the same time, it could also speed up the search for Yui and the others.
"Really … a troublesome girl. I hope she didn't encounter any danger."
Behind her, there was a sudden movement.
"Hmm?"
Eight-cloud Ink turned her head slightly.
In the bushes, a green-haired girl wearing a student's uniform but a white coat draped over her shoulders came out.
The girl's heavy dark circles and listless appearance reminded Eight-cloud Ink of someone.
Haruyo Kiyama.
After the green-haired girl saw Eight-cloud Ink, she seemed to be stimulated by something. She sat down on the ground like a duck and raised her head to stare blankly at Eight-cloud Ink.
The night wind blew and the Yin-Yang Jade made a crisp sound.
The sound seemed to make the girl come back to her senses. She got up from the ground, ignored the dust on her body, and walked quickly to Eight-cloud Ink.
Eight-cloud Ink could not help but sigh inwardly. Because it was night and they thought that no one would come here, they did not activate the camouflage magic and did not use mental interference. As a result, they were discovered.
The green-haired girl stared at Eight-cloud Ink, opened her mouth, and said something that surprised Eight-cloud Ink.
"Can you teach me how to make a child?"
