Shiro's Great Adventure 1
We've come to the 5th level in search of potato starch.
"Something doesn't seem right......"
"There's not a single soul here......"
Shiro answers me.
I don't know why, but there's not a single person on the 5th level.
"What should we do? Do you want to go to the upper level?"
"That's the only way..."
Me, Shiro, and Ori Hime went up to the 4th level, but as expected, there were no adventurers.
"This is strange..."
"Is something happening in the Amru dungeon?"
"For now, let’s go up to the first level!"
"I understand!"
To conclude, there were people in the first level.
However, even though they were people, there were many soldiers who looked different from usual.
We haven't taken any major action to find out what's going on.
"There are a lot of adventurers who don't belong to the Amru Adventurer's Guild and soldiers from countries I don't know..."
"Are they not soldiers from this country?"
"No, they are not. I know a soldier from the Harman Kingdom when I see one. After all, I was a citizen of the Harman Kingdom!!"
"Even though you're a monster?"
"I'm not a monster! I still am a human being!"
"I know. I'm just saying."
I definitely feel like Shiro is making fun of me...
I was a little annoyed, but since I didn't have a brain, I quickly changed my mind.
"What should I do… I want potato starch, but there’s a disturbing atmosphere, and this is just not right…"
"Shall I go scout?"
Shiro makes a proposal to me.
"You're a monster, right?"
"Do I look like a monster?"
"No..."
I'm jealous of Shiro, who doesn't look like a monster at all.
Why is it that even though I want to go back to being human, I can't turn back into a human no matter how long it takes, and Shiro is the only one who can turn into a human!
I was irritated again, but since I didn't have a brain, I quickly changed my mind and asked Shiro my next question.
"But the people on the first level aren't adventurers who belong to the Amru Adventurer's Guild, right?"
"Then, I will go to Amru Fortress City and ask questions!"
"W... what!?"
"I'm going to see the outside world!"
"You're betraying me by saying that!"
"I will not betray Master!
After all, I am Master's best servant!"
"I see, that's right..."
I know Shiro won't betray me, but I still feel uneasy.
"Besides, I’ll also buy some potato starch!"
"I see. Then I'll leave it to you!"
A Lich only has bones and skin, so I want meat. It's also my favorite side dish in a bento box. I couldn't resist the temptation of fried chicken.
"Then I'll go right away.
Master, please wait on the 5th level, which seems safe. There are a lot of people on the first level."
After saying that, Shiro was about to leave.
"Hey, wait, you're going to look suspicious to soldiers from the other country in that outfit!"
"I agree"
When Shiro said that, she changed from her maid outfit to a robe like the one that mages often wear.
"Next, take this too!"
I gave Shiro the staff that I had previously obtained from a Lich on the 21st level.
"Do I look like a mage?"
Shiro spins around.
"Perfect. No matter where I look from, you look like a fashionable magical girl!"
Yes, the robe that Shiro made is too fashionable.
The base color is Shiro's favorite color, white, and it is richly sewn with intricate gold embroidery.
It is a masterpiece that you can tell at a glance that it was made by the Arachne.
"Okay, Master, I'll go!"
"Hey, it's fine to be fashionable, but is it okay to wear such flashy clothes?"
"It's okay!"
After saying that, Shiro started walking toward the exit of Amru Dungeon.
ーーーー
As Shiro was walking toward the exit of the Amru dungeon, she was noticeable, so as expected, soldiers from other countries started talking to her.
"Hey! Didn’t you hear that from today onwards, the Amru Dungeon will be reserved for the Lester Kingdom?"
A soldier from the Lester Kingdom warned Shiro in a strong tone.
"Ah! I see. I was also wondering why there were no adventurers at all!"
"The Amru Adventurers Guild should have told you about it five days ago!"
"Ah! Then I don’t know!
I've been holed up in the Amru Dungeon for a week!"
"I see. There's no problem then. Hurry and leave the dungeon."
Apparently, the soldiers of the Lester Kingdom were easily convinced.
Perhaps there have been adventurers like Shiro before.
Shiro nods slightly and leaves the place.
After a couple of such exchanges, Shiro finally went outside of the Amru dungeon for the first time.
ーーーー
"Is this the world outside of Amru Dungeon?"
The world outside the Amru dungeon was lined with buildings and filled with the energy of people.
Shiro takes a big breath of air and takes a deep breath.
"It's not much different from the taste of the air inside the dungeon..."
Shiro thought that the air outside the dungeon must be delicious, but she was disappointed because it hadn't changed so much.
Of course, it's not like a musty stone labyrinth stage, but compared to the forest stage on the 5th level or the 22nd level.
Well, let's put aside Shiro's impressions for the moment and talk a little about the Amru Fortress City.
Amru Fortress City is a fortified city built around Amru Dungeon.
You could call it a city of adventurers.
The Amru Fortress City has the Amru Dungeon at its center, and main streets spread out in the shape of a cross, dividing the city.
With the main gate to the south, the city is divided into the noble district to the northeast, the resident district to the northwest, the merchant district to the southeast, and the adventurer district to the southwest.
Well, even though it's divided, it's basically an adventurer's town, so there are adventurers living everywhere.
Simply put, there are more adventurers living here than in a normal town.
Since it is such an adventurer's town, there are stalls selling light meals, tool shops, weapon shops, and other stalls around the entrance to the dungeon, making it a lively place.
After passing the street stalls, a proper town appears, and in addition to adventurers, there are also many town residents and merchants walking around.
And right now, what is more noticeable are soldiers from the other country.
At first glance, it looks like there are 5,000 people.
Soldiers from the other country form a formation on the main street of Amru Fortress City, standing ominously.
The people of Amru Fortress City don't seem to think well of soldiers from the other country.
In particular, the adventurers belonging to the Amru Adventurer's Guild were glaring at the soldiers with bitter eyes.
"I see... The atmosphere seems strange after all."
As Shiro was walking and observing the city while eating the skewered food she got at the stall in front of the dungeon, she came across a magnificent three-story stone building.
Inside the building, people who appear to be adventurers are constantly coming and going.
"Is that the Adventurer Guild that Master also belonged to?
Let's go and collect some information!"
Shiro said that to herself and headed to the Adventurer's Guild feeling excited.
