Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~

Chapter 512:

Dungeon Marathon

(Ice Needle)

"Take that! This one's leather!"

(Wind Cutter)

"Here I go! This one's meat~"

Joule and Feat defeated the Black Alligators they encountered with magic, and the moment they turned into loot, Allen and Elena caught it midair.

"You two take them down so skillfully~"

Joule used ice needles rising from the water to strike the monster from below, and Feat used wind blades to lift the monster upward. Both managed to float the monsters’ bodies in the air as they defeated them. Thanks to that, the loot didn't sink into the water, and the children could catch it.

(The way Joule and Feat use magic is very educational.)

(Joule and Feat are amazing! Allen and Elena are also picking up the items skillfully!)

(Ughhh. I could never defeat them like that!)

Bolt, Mile, and Vector were watching, clearly impressed.

"Still, it's really hard to run~"

Since they had to run while splashing through the water, it was extremely difficult to move forward.

Joule and Feat were adjusting their running speeds for me, so I could keep up, but honestly, I couldn't help thinking, "Can't we just not run in such terrible conditions?"

That said, I was the one who had given them permission, so...

(Keep them coming! Ice Needle)

(Hehe, I'll do my best too. Wind Cutter)

"Allen's side got a gemstone~"

"Elena's side got leather~"

This time, it was Red Alligators. Come to think of it, wasn't this floor filled with nothing but different-colored alligators?

"“Wow, they're coming, they're coming~”"

(Joule Oniichan, Feat Oneechan, gooo~!)

Next, we saw Black Alligators, Brown Alligators, Red Alligators, and other types of alligator monsters swimming toward us en masse.

(Ice Needle.)

(Wind Cutter.)

Maybe because of the sheer number of enemies, Joule and Feat stopped in place and started firing spells one after another.

(Still going strong!)

(Oh dear, I can't fall behind either~)

Despite there being a huge number of alligators, with Joule and Feat getting fired up, they managed to finish them off in no time.

"“There's so many~”"

(Radian's picking some up too～)

Allen, Elena, and Radian, who had gotten off Joule and Feat’s backs, headed over to collect the loot.

"There’s a lot of different things~"

I also joined in to pick up loot and saw crocodile meat, crocodile leather, gemstones... a lot of them were either sinking into the water or floating.

"The meat isn't wet, is it?"

"Can we eat it?"

"It's wrapped up tightly in leaves, so it's fine."

"“Yay, that's good~”"

Worrying about the meat first really showed how much our kids loved food.

Still, the loot really was mysterious—food items were always wrapped in something to prevent contamination, and liquids were neatly stored in bottles and the like. The system was incredibly considerate toward those retrieving them.

"There’s a ton of gemstones too~"

"“What kind of gemstones are they?”"

"Uhh, they all seem to be onyx. There's black, white, red, blue, gray, and even yellow ones~"

Gemstone drops were supposed to be rare, but there was a lot.

Since it was Joule and Feat who defeated them, it shouldn’t have been influenced by Allen and Elena’s extraordinary luck... but still, it was mysterious.

Maybe Joule and Feat were lucky too, or maybe Allen and Elena's luck was affecting the area.

Either way, luck was on our side.

"“Ohh~”"

"Let's bring them back as souvenirs~"

"We’ve got more souvenirs now~"

"You can use them to make something too, you know? It doesn’t have to be just souvenirs."

"“Huh?”"

Allen and Elena seemed completely ready to make all the gemstones into souvenirs.

"“I don’t really want to make anything~”"

Allen had no interest in jewelry, and surprisingly, even Elena, who loved pretty and cute things, didn't seem very drawn to it.

They handed all the collected loot over to me.

"If you think of anything you want to make, just tell me, okay?"

"“Okaaay~”"

The kids responded obediently, but honestly, I doubted they'd come up with anything.

When we returned to the royal capital, maybe I could ask Matthias-san or Rebecca-san to craft something for them.

(Alright! We’re still going!)

(Allen-chan, Elena-chan, Radian too, hop on!)

"“(Okaaay!)”"

"Oh, so we're continuing?"

The marathon was apparently still on, and the kids climbed back onto Joule and Feat.

(Are you holding on tight?)

"“Ready to go!”"

(All ready~)

(Alright, let's go!)

(Ah, wait up! Don’t leave me behind～)

As Joule and Feat started running again, Vector frantically chased after them, and I hurried along too, bringing Bolt and Mile with me.

(Ice Needle)

(Wind Cutter)

"“Take that!”"

(Ohh, go for it~)

When there were only a few monsters, Joule and Feat defeated them on the run, while Allen and Elena caught the drop items midair.

Watching them, Radian was happily frolicking about.

(Ugh, I wanna join in too～)

Vector, following behind Joule and Feat, was whining, wanting to join the battle—or rather, just wanting to be part of the group, it seemed.

"Vector, they said it's just for this floor, so you'll be able to join from the next one."

(Really? It’ll really end with just this floor?)

"… Huh?"

(If it were me, I'd definitely say I want to keep going! Absolutely would!)

"……"

Vector seemed convinced that if it were him, he wouldn’t be able to stop at just this floor, and guessed that Joule and Feat might say the same.

If that happened, they'd probably ask me for permission to continue…

Would I be able to firmly refuse? Hmm... I had a feeling I might just end up agreeing.

After all, the kids weren't throwing tantrums or being unreasonable—they just genuinely wanted to play.

For normal people, the idea of playing in a dungeon might be unthinkable, but well… we were anything but normal.

"Vector, do your best and get them to let you join."

(If it were that easy, I'd already be part of the group～)

For now, who knows what’ll happen on the next floor, but for this floor, I'll just watch over them warmly.
