As the countdown ends, my yawning is over. I'm leaning against the wall, waiting for the time when we're released from the dungeon.
A breath later, we are in the territory of the Seven-Storey Hallway City. The first floor finally finished. It's all been half a day, but it felt like an entire year to me. I think my perception of time has shifted since I've spent a fair bit of my life trapped in dungeons.
"Hey! Are you the Raiders?"
One of the white-clothed people who ran the city approached me and asked a question I hadn't expected.
"Brother, do you live in a cave?"
"Sukrucuk, is there anyone who doesn't know us?"
Here was the strangeness, and the two lads of our party immediately spoke out loud and clear.
"You have a competition in the arena tonight!"
He said and left. Contrary to the general behavior patterns of the people of the city, this boy did not seem very polite.
