Dungeon Renovation ch7-2

I'm back... on the first floor...?

...

Maho...

...

No... I can't just sit around feeling sorry for myself!
If Maho were here, she'd take action right away.

Wait for me, Maho... I'll be sure

to get you out of this place...

!!

Who's that!?
...Nothing there...?

...No...
There is!

I can't make it out, but there's definitely something there!
There shouldn't be any adventurers coming to this dungeon anymore, so... is it a monster?
But first floor monsters don't move like that...

Did defeating that dragon cause the monsters that appear to change?
I've never heard of such a thing... but nonetheless!

It doesn't matter what I'm up against.
I swore that I would save Maho.
Whatever stands in my way... I'll defeat it!

Focus...!

You've Been Pranked

Focus...!!

FOCUS!!!

There!
WOOOOOOAH!?

Eh?
Maho!?

How are you... eh? I-Is it really you!?
Yeah, for real, for real! It's really me, I swear!
15 years old! 153cm tall! Born and raised in Japan! It's Saeki Maho in the flesh~!

...Man~ Sorry about that... I figured it was the perfect opportunity for a prank.

It's fine. I was hiding things from you too, after all...
But how did you get to the first floor anyway?
A bunch of stuff happened. It really took me by surprise.

Now then!
No time to be sitting around!

It's solo play from here on out, so I've gotta give it my all!
First, I should head back and get ready to clear this thing...
...

Actually, I should probably give this teleportation monument a try first.
I'm not doing a speedrun here, so saving is important.
What was it she said again? It records your magic...?
How do I do that?

Hah!
Nothing, huh...

BONFIRE LIT
Figured as much...

Now recording to the Adventurer's Log...
Ah, this is water-based.

Enough playing around...

A good ol' whack should get it working!

Uwah~

...!
1 5 10 15... ...90 95...
This is...
...101!?

...And there you have it.
Y-You're kidding me... What's that all about...?
Beats me.

p10

...

Hah~...

Eh?
Wh-What's wrong...?

Stupid Maho.
Huh!?

I was so lonely.
I thought I'd never see you again.
...But...

p11

Thank goodness~
Sorry. I've been making you cry a lot today, huh?
Uwaaaah~

p12

...Is this really the first floor?
You'd think there'd be more people here.
Like I told you before, this place isn't popular at all.
Double meaning, huh?

More importantly, look! We just gotta climb up there...
You're right! Let's hurry!

p13

We're outside!!

From the bottom floor to the surface at last!
