Chapter 3: Tyrant Swordfish

The chilled pasta I made ended up turning into a very early dinner for our party. We were all exhausted thanks to the charybdis incident (well, “all of us” meaning “all of us except for my familiars”), so we went straight to bed after the meal was done. I, for one, was out like a light barely a minute after lying down and closing my eyes, and I suspect the same was true of Ark’s members.

I had a nice, restful night’s sleep, and woke up bright and early the next morning feeling thoroughly refreshed. The members of Ark seemed to have slept like logs as well, and were in considerably higher spirits when they woke up.

In Gaudino’s words, “Even if we wanted to turn around and go home, we’d have no chance of making the trip out of this place on our own. Plus, I now have a new appreciation of the fact that as long we’re with you, we’ll make it through this in one piece. We’ll be sticking with you to the bitter end.” All of his companions smiled and nodded in emphatic agreement as well.

I wasn’t sure if they’d resigned themselves to their fates, or if they were just looking at things from a more long-term perspective than before, but either way, I couldn’t help but feel a little awkward about the whole situation. After all, I knew very well that my familiars wouldn’t be satisfied unless we cleared the whole dungeon from top to bottom. Unless we found a teleportation circle or some other means of getting back to the surface in a single jump, there was no way we’d be pulling out part way through.

“W-Well, anyway, let’s have some breakfast!” I said, for lack of anything more encouraging to contribute.

For breakfast, I decided to make a light, western-style assortment consisting of plain omelets, consommé with veggies in it, and buttery bread rolls. That, needless to say, was the menu for Ark and I. The gluttonous quartet got gigant minotaur steak bowls instead, at their request. Then, after everyone had finished off their breakfasts—and everyone other than me had seconds on top of that—Sui grew to its massive, enlarged form and we set out into the ocean once more.

The sun’s brilliant rays beat down upon us, and the sea shone a calm, beautiful shade of marine blue. If it were just us and the ocean, then I really couldn’t have asked for nicer circumstances. This, however, was a dungeon, and that meant it was only a matter of time before things started going wrong.

“Hey, did anyone else see something move out there?” Sigvard said as he pointed off into the distance at what seemed to be some sort of shadowy presence in the sea, just barely visible as it drifted along.

I looked out in the direction he’d indicated and squinted as I tried to make the shadowy something out more clearly. “Yeah, whatever that is, it’s moving all right,” I confirmed.

“I see it too,” said Gaudino, who’d turned to look as well.
