c306: Bear-san Receives the Request.

I somehow got the gist of the story.

The magic stone was damaged. You have to go deep inside the labyrinth to replace the magic stones. To traverse the labyrinth, you need the crystal plate map. Who can use the crystal plate map was already decided. The crystal plate map was dropped by Karina in a pit. Karina wants to get the crystal plate map beneath the pyramid.

These details are what I understand so far.

But whether Karina wants to go with me, remains to be seen.

Well, the map may be a secret, but you should hire some good adventurers to go with you and get it. It’s no wonder Karina feels responsible, but it doesn’t change whether she’s coming to look for the crystal plate map or not.

On the contrary, it would be better if she doesn’t set foot inside.

[Why is Karina trying to pick up the map herself? I think you should ask an adventurer to do it.] Yuna

[What did you say?] Balima

Balima-san frowns at my words.

[Well, because Karina…] Yuna

[Yu- Yuna-san.] Karina

Karina, who is sitting next to me tried to stop me.

[Karina! Be silent! Yuna-san, could you explain?] Balima

Balima-san shut Karina’s mouth and urges me to continue.

Did I perhaps do something wrong?

[Um, Karina was in adventurer’s guild, asking the adventurers there to take her to the pyramid.] Yuna

[Karina!] Balima

Listening to my words, Balima-san lifts his eyebrows and stares at Karina.

At first Karina was looking down and only listening, but then she looks up and faced Balima-san.

[Father! This is my responsibility. And I know where the crystal plate fell.] Karina

Karina made a persuasive statement.

But does she really know where the crystal plate is?

[That’s a different matter!] Balima

Now I can’t ask about the crystal plate because Balima-san shouted.

Apparently, Karina made a request to the adventurer’s guild, instead of the injured Balima-san.

Originally, the request was to recover what was in the bottom layer of the pyramid. It seems the rest of the details were to be told to the person who received the request.

It seems that Karina took it upon herself without permission and added the escort job to the request.

[So you went to the adventurer’s guild alone.] Balima

Balima-san asks Karina with a slightly stronger tone.

[Dear, please don’t be so angry. This child also felt responsible about it.] Ristil

[That’s why…] Balima

[You musn’t. Karina had been excitedly talking about her role since she was young, so she felt responsible for the mishap.] Ristil

[Mother….] Karina

Well, it’s kinda difficult.

Karina feels responsible. Her father got injured because of her and she dropped the crystal plate map that had been passed down for generations.

Moreover, it may ruin the city because of it.

This burden may be too heavy for a 10-year-old girl to carry.

However, it is another matter whether that action is correct.

[So then, Balima-san is the one hiring adventurers to find the crystal plate.] Yuna

[Yes. No parents would let their daughter go to such dangerous places.] Balima

[But even though Karina was there, every adventurer was refusing.] Yuna

Everyone refused.

I think it’s fine to have some adventurer parties.

[It’s probably because of the phenomenons happening in the pyramids.] Balima

[Phenomenon?] Yuna

[Since the water magic stone has broken, monsters have gathered around the pyramid. If you don’t have the ability, you may not be able to get close to the pyramids.] Balima

[Monsters are gathering?] Yuna

[Maybe it’s because the water magic stone was broken, since then the number of monsters around the pyramid were starting to increase.] Balima

Ah, maybe that’s what the guard trying to tell me at the entrance of the city.

I thought he was just saying that the water magic stone was broken.
