Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

The hall and courtyard are an area where most places are flooded. Except for a few platforms and roads above the water that are accessible, most of the time you have to pass through the waterway to continue moving forward.

Not only that, after arriving here, the types of monsters also changed, turning into monsters living in the water such as murlocs, mermaids, aquatic horses, flying blade fish, sirens, sea snakes, giant krakens, etc. .

During the few days they were active on the fourth floor underground, they would occasionally come here to eat and catch some flying blade fish to make fish soup. Sometimes there would be sirens singing as accompaniment, making the atmosphere much more elegant.

Of course, Siren's singing has the ability to enchant people's hearts, but she and Matthew can resist it. It is not recommended for ordinary people to do this.

Let’s get back to the point.

"..."

Looking at the Kabul team in front of him, Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The scene was almost the same as yesterday. Team Kabul and his team were arranged and placed on a platform exposed by the water. Monsters in the water would not come ashore, so there was no need to worry about them being eaten. They were in a safe area.

However, what was different from yesterday was that this time they were indeed wiped out by the group, all of them died, and there were obvious scars from the battle on their bodies, but it was unknown whether the targets of the battle were monsters or the group of adventurers they were chasing.

They were wiped out by the group twice in two days. Although it seems a little bad to think about the other party like this, but... could it be said that they are actually quite good?

"senior……?"

Hearing Mashu's call, Fujimaru Ritsuka came back to his senses, looked at them again and said:

"Anyway, let's resurrect them first."

——

"I'm really grateful that I was saved by you again."

After everyone was resurrected, Kabul once again expressed his gratitude to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, then scratched his head helplessly and said:

"But I'm really sorry for putting you in such a shameful situation, being wiped out twice in a row..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and comforted:

"No, exploring the maze itself is very dangerous, and accidents are normal."

"..."×n

Hearing this, everyone else showed expressions that were hard to explain.

The people who rescued them twice in succession were two new adventurers who they originally thought would not even survive the second underground level, which made them feel a little ashamed.

But at the same time, seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu had penetrated this place with just two people, and even seemed to be quite comfortable, they immediately understood that the strength of the two of them was probably unimaginable.

And when they heard the words "The maze is dangerous" from the other party's mouth, they really didn't know what expression to use in response.

Noticing that something was wrong with their expressions, Fujimaru Ritsuka had no choice but to change the topic:

"By the way, did you encounter any unexpected situation again this time?"

"No,"

Kabul shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"This time it is simply because we are not strong enough."

The story is very simple. After arriving in this area, they first fought hard with the flying blade fish, and then encountered the sirens. In order to prevent being charmed by the sirens, they blocked their ears and continued traveling.

However, it was this behavior that caused them to fail to detect the fishman sneaking up from behind in time. When they noticed something unusual, he and Lin Xia were the only ones left in the team.

In the end, Lin Xia desperately used magic to cause them and the fish-men to die together, thus avoiding the fate of being eaten.

As for why their bodies appeared on the shore——

"Elongated people, dwarves, elves, halflings..."

"It's still the same group as before."

After checking the smell on and around each of them, Xiao Hei replied.

Not only that, Bellmic shook his empty backpack and said frantically:

"And they also stole the food I was carrying! What on earth are those bastards doing?!"

Although they stole the food, they still had no less money, and this time they were kind enough to drag them to the shore. These strange things made them puzzled.

Kabul rubbed his chin and analyzed:

"Perhaps it's because we got those treasures that we don't value the little money in our pockets?"

"As for the food problem, it may be because their own food supplies are insufficient."

"It makes people angry...we must catch them!"

Lin Xia gritted her teeth, but after hearing her speech, Kabul shook his head and said:

"No, we're going back."

"What?"×n

Everyone's reaction was very resistant. Bellmick said in disbelief:

"Are you serious?!"

Daiya also hesitated and said:

"Are we just going to ignore those thieves?"

"Of course not,"

Kabul explained with a wry smile:

"But our strength itself is not enough to explore here, and the food supplies are not enough. If we go further, we will just die in vain, so we must return to the city to rest."

"..."×n

No matter how angry everyone was, they had to admit that what the other party said was the truth, so they could only accept it unwillingly.

However, at this moment, Lin Xia suddenly thought of something and turned her eyes to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu. Just as she was about to say something, Kabul put his hand on her shoulder first and shook her. Shake his head.

With a helpless smile, he comforted her and said:

"Don't worry, I will never let those guys go, and I will make them pay."

"...Okay."

Looking at Kabul's smile, Lin Xia's cheeks blushed slightly, and she agreed awkwardly, and did not make any other moves.

Hearing their conversation, Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed to the backpack behind him and asked with a smile:

"Can your food supplies last until you get back? If not, we can also share some with you."

There are still a lot of dry food purchased here in her backpack, but because the taste is not very good, she has not opened it a few times. All she ate along the way were the food and monster dishes of [Minister's Treasure].

"Thank you, but no thanks."

Kabul smiled:

"The remaining food should be barely enough for us to return to the ground, and for you who want to continue to go deeper into the lower layer, you may need these supplies more than us."

"Okay then."

Hearing the other party's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not say anything more.

Because from her personal experience, even if there is really no supply, relying on the edible monsters in the maze can actually survive well, so she is not too worried.

At the same time, Kabul on the opposite side suddenly shuddered for some reason and felt a chill inexplicably.

So the Kabul team prepared to return. At this time, Kabul seemed to remember something and suddenly asked Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"By the way, Miss Fujimaru. Although it is a bit presumptuous, I would like to ask you a question-"

"According to what the king of the suspected Golden Kingdom said, as long as you defeat the crazy magician, you can get everything here."

He watched the other party's reaction intently, still smiling:

"If you defeat the crazy magician and get everything here, what are your plans?"

"Well..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought about it and answered a little embarrassedly:

"We haven't thought about this issue before, and we don't have any ideas for the time being. If you have to answer, I can only say 'I don't know'."
