Year 7446, Month 10, Day 19
The teleport room of the 3rd floor. Among several parties that were camping out, there was luckily one spot open along the walls. There's a reasonable number of people so you can hear voices coming from here and there. It's been quite a while since the majority of the people had already become acquaintances.
"How is it? Are you tired?"
Gwine hands the tea Miduchi made over to Kamu and Kimu while asking them.
"Thanks. Hn~ not that much I guess? The pace isn't all that different from the {Butchers} after all."
Kimu smiled while saying.
Well, I'm sure. Now not just the {Butchers} but even the {Exterminators} are clearing through to this teleport room on the 3rd floor on the first day and camping out here after all.It's just the pace that differs a bit and it shouldn't be all that different. Ah, I haven't dispatched Gwine before so they might not be able to get a feel for it~ They might just be making comparisons to how slow other parties than the {Slaughterers} clear through the dungeon.
Other than that, Zenom and others were resting their tired bodies while talking and waiting impatiently for the dinner Giberuti was making.
However, Basutoral and Angela weren't participating in that, they're still enthusiastically whispering about things along the edge of the wall.
Somehow, the challengers Kamu and Kimu seem to have more composure. The side that should be taking them on isn't holding back at all in making preparations almost like the challenger, and thinking that it was a bit amusing. It's fine, if you just calm down and do it the same as usual you won't lose so easily. On the contrary if you get impatient and try to implement some strange strategy you don't usually do, it's more frightening when that falls through.
Well, it's nothing for me to comment on right now. Do whatever you please.

Year 7446, Month 10, Day 20
We smoothly cleared through the 4th and 5th floors and arrived at the teleport room on the 5th floor so we're taking a short break.
The campsite that {Black.Topaz} used is covered in dust but it's been expanded quite a bit. The amount of bags in the spot the {Verdure.Brotherhood} uses has increased quite a bit as well. And then, it's not a corner of the room but there's a considerable amount of bags in the spot {Gehenna.Flare} uses as they seem to be smoothly developing it as well.
On our route through the 5th floor this time we didn't end up with a course that passes through any altar rooms. Our pace at clearing through the 5th floor is obviously faster than the {Butchers}. Or rather, you could say it just doesn't differ much from our pace yesterday though.
I guess since Kamu already experienced a faster pace during the incident with {Black.Topaz} the other day, she wasn't having any problems in particular. But, as expected she isn't used to this pace either so her expression was a bit more serious. On the end of Kimu she hasn't moved at this pace past the 4th floor so the amount of talking she was doing had clearly decreased and her expression was dark. I'm sure it's not exhaustion from lack of stamina for the two of them but mental fatigue. It's good to see that they've properly increased their abilities. After that is just experience.
Once again today Basutoral and Angela were discussing things every time we took a break and there wasn't any particular change.
Just like that, I was watching as Kamu explained things about the traps on the 6th floor to Kimu so they don't have any problems tomorrow.
"In regards to those teleport traps. The {Slaughterers} have already made an almost perfect map from walking around the 6th floor. If we pass through the edge of the hall in order then it's easy to get by them. That's why it seems fine if you don't think about it so carefully."
"..I've heard that a number of times already. But.."
"It's alright. I thought the same until the other day. But, it's already fine. It's not like it's the first time for you either, you've already passed through them a number of times right?"
"That's right but..Even if you tell me the range where you'll fall into the trap...No one knows if it's the same for all of the traps on the 5th floor after all..When I think that I might disappear.."
"If we enter the {Slaughterers} then I don't think that will be allowed. We can't always be taking our time around there forever after all."
"If sister says so then.."
If sister says so huh? It seems there's still not enough trust, in me as well. Though it can't be helped since the length of time they've been together is no comparison though.
After finishing our break, we teleported into the 6th floor.
