The information had reached Abel’s ears yesterday. After he’d come back from the dungeon and made his report to the guild, a shadow approached him from behind...and whispered.

“Abel, the password is, ‘The color of the magic stones was light,’” the water magician whispered.

“What?”

“The password is, ‘The color of the magic stones was light.’ Repeat after me please. Come on. The color of the magic stones was light.”

Baffled, Abel repeated the words as instructed. “...The color of the magic stones was light.”

“That’s right. The color of the magic stones was light.”

“The color of the magic stones was light.”

Satisfied, Ryo walked away.

So of course Abel had gone straight to Guild Master Hugh to verify the color of the magic stones harvested from the monsters defeated during the Great Tidal Bore. Then the mysterious conversation finally made sense. The monsters hadn’t come up from the lower layers of the dungeon. They had come to life only recently.

“Considering the large number of goblins, we should assume that the outbreak originated somewhere in the upper layers, down to the fifteenth layer,” Abel said.

For convenience, Layer 16 and below were known as the middle layers and contained powerful monsters incomparable to those in the upper layers. It was unlikely for goblins to break through those sections...but...even so, the mayhem of their numbers was frightening. Though they also couldn’t completely eliminate the possibility of the monsters having stormed up from below the middle layers.

“As far as I’m aware, the layers goblins inhabit until the fifteenth are the fourth, fifth, tenth, and eleventh,” Arthur replied.

“Right. We didn’t see anything on the fourth and fifth. No monsters, traps, nothing. The only trace so far...”

“Yes, the trace of a massive concentration of magical energy a few days prior...located a bit farther down. Nothing aside from that, eh?”

“A bit farther down might mean...” Abel began. “Layer 10, where the goblins would normally be... Timing-wise, there’s a chance it could be related to the Great Tidal Bore...” As he spoke, he stared at the magical equipment the research team held. If Ryo saw them, the first thing he would think of was that they looked like metal detectors.

“I’m still amazed those alchemical devices can detect traces left by magic days ago.”

“Hm. Supposedly, the information they pick up is sent to the team on the surface for analysis. The creators told me they used the principle of the air magic spell Probe, but frankly, I couldn’t make heads or tails of their explanation. The Royal Center for Alchemy and the University of Magic worked on it together apparently. A collaboration between two talented alchemists.”

“Alchemy, huh...”

“Oh, what’s this, Abel? Don’t tell me you’re interested in alchemy?” Arthur’s surprised expression indicated he never would have expected that of Abel.

“Nah, I’m not. I’m definitely not, but my friend is, to an insane degree.”

“You have a friend, Abel? Even more shocking.” Arthur seemed truly stunned by this news.

“What the heck? I have friends too, you know.”

“Hm... Well, maybe it was a good thing after all that you became an adventurer,”: Abel murmured softly, a slight smile on his face.
