After reading Hilarion’s letter, Abel scratched his head then handed the paper to Rihya.

“You said your name is Natalie,” Lyn said in the meantime. “As in Natalie Schwartzkoff?”

“I am. Why do you ask...?”

“If I remember correctly, the house of Schwartzkoff is a distinguished one that produces water magicians...” Lyn trailed off in thought.

Water magicians... I think this is the first time I’m meeting another water magician... Ryo thought, keeping his excitement to himself.

“I’m personally not very skilled with magic yet, but...I study diligently every day.” Natalie looked down in shame as she spoke.

Hilarion’s letter passed from Rihya to Warren and finally Lyn.

“Hm...”

Ryo couldn’t decide if Lyn said that in response to Natalie or the letter.

“Basically, the Bureau of Royal Magicians wants backup in the dungeon, huh?”

“Backup?” Ryo blurted. “But I thought dungeon diving was suspended until further notice?”

“Yeah, it is, but the leaders of the research team are probably gonna try to get it open again. I have a feeling GuilMas will end up giving in since the national government deployed the research team. When that happens, it’s only natural they’ll wanna hire experienced adventurers... Which explains this letter. They’re using their personal connections to stake a claim on our services.”

Then Abel’s expression grew even more troubled.

“Abel, does that look on your face mean a dungeon after a Great Tidal Bore is super dangerous?”

“You’re half right. Originally, dungeons were supposed to be blocked off when a Great Tidal Bore ended. The practice started a few decades ago when an A-rank party didn’t make it back from the dungeon after the Great Tidal Bore. They weren’t just a normal A-rank party either. Their leader was an inhumanly powerful swordsman who could have been an S rank. So the fact that they never returned was a big deal and led to creation of the practice.”

“Then that is super dangerous... So how am I only half right?”

“Given the disappearance of the A-rank party, to this day, nobody knows what happens in a dungeon after a Great Tidal Bore. So the other half has to do with not wanting to go inside when we don’t even know what the hell could be waiting for us in there,” Abel said with a shrug.

Best not to go anywhere near it for a while then, Ryo swore to himself firmly. Then he stood. “Right. I’m off to eat breakfast.”

“Hm? Why don’t you just eat here? But, wait... No one’s eating at all...”

Puzzled, Abel turned his head and surveyed the canteen. The few other people sitting in the area drank only water, creating a bizarre sight for the dining hall.

“The research team took all the food this morning.”

“Wha—”

First Abel became speechless by this news, quickly followed by Rihya, Lyn, and the ever silent Warren. Though what surprised Ryo the most was Natalie’s shock. She rushed to explain.

“Th-The royal magicians are supposed to be paying for their own food supplies and cooks... So I’m aghast to hear something like that even occurred...” She looked apologetic despite knowing she wasn’t to blame.
