Chapter 91 Information Can Make More Money Than Deliveries

Nina made Gorman Juice for us, so we all sampled it immediately.

「……! It’s completely different from the goman juice I used to drink!」

Esther’s eyes widened at how delicious it was.

Then, I’ll try it too.

「It sure is delicious. I thought it would be overly rich because it wasn’t diluted with water. It’s rich but fruity and easy to drink. There’s no bitter taste at all and the aftertaste is refreshing…」

I didn’t have as much money as Esther, but I’m also a former high-rank noble.

I had the opportunity to eat goman several times a year.

Before my memory returned, I neither liked nor disliked it, so I ate it casually, but… the taste this time is completely different…

「It’s a collaboration of Nina’s cooking skill and a high-quality ingredient. Goman is delicious even if we eat it as is, but the charm was brought out many times when Nina squeezed it.」

Ian, who didn’t have many opportunities to eat goman, and Nina, who had never eaten it before, were so surprised by the taste that their bodies froze.

According to Leon-san’s information, the tropical floor is affected by the labyrinth that the trees will bear fruits again after a few days.

So, we’ll be able to harvest the fruits again after a few days!

Other than Esther, it seems that everyone has been fascinated by goman… so we need to finish the map as soon as possible to cover the consumption of the party.

Compared to the first time, we’re getting the gist of things, so the pace of the exploration is faster and the amount of information written on the map has increased.

Moreover, I’m a former Japanese who’s used to taking notes and Ian is an honor student, so it’s easy to read even though there’s a lot of information.

「If we complete this information and sell it to the guild, we can get dozens of platinum coins…. There will be a big uproar for sure.」

That’s right, Ian.

The structure inside the labyrinth basically doesn’t change, so we’ll at least get dozens of platinum coins….

If the survival rate and delivery rate of high-ranking adventurers increase, the guild’s earnings and reputation will rise, so the guild will get back their money sooner or later.

As we were exploring the tropical floor, the stock of snow was running low, so we went back to the ice Floor to replenish it.

If we run out of snow, we can’t use the simple air conditioner, and our energy and stamina will drop to the bottom….

Of course, we changed clothes in advance and passed through the safe area!

Leon-san and the others looked at us suspiciously, but it couldn’t be helped.

Only we can use the simple air conditioner, so they’ll only be envious even if we talked about it.

「I know it’s difficult, but I think we’ll need more snow in the future, so collect as much as you can!」

「「「Yes!」」」

While the three are collecting snow (by using golems), I’m using alchemy to create removable cooling devices, put water into them, and freeze the water.

Until now, the method was to put the snow directly into the cooling device, but that made my hands cold when I put it in.

It was also inefficient in terms of time, so I improved it to a cartridge type.

There is a high possibility that the metal will distort or expand due to the temperature difference, so I make connector parts that can be readjusted with alchemy when replacing them.

The snow that the three are collecting can be used to make cold towels, and we probably will need it on the 36th floor and beyond, so if there’s any leftover, we can use it at that time.

After nearly a month of hard work in the tropical area, the map is almost complete!

Also, we managed to secure a large amount of tropical fruits along the way, so our fruit situation is safe for the time being.

「After replenishing the ice, let’s head to the 36th floor!」

Ian, who was on guard duty, instructed us to be quiet with his hand….

After confirming the details, it seems that two groups of adventurers are arguing nearby.

Ian is frowning with great displeasure.

Again, huh…

When I fully changed into equipment enchanted with Presence Detection and then eavesdropped… I heard an unexpected conversation.

「I’m telling you that my disguise can deceive even his appraisal!」

「It’s all over if you fail, you know!? If we fail to assassinate that enchanter, not only <Beyond the Purgatory>, but it might cause harm to our beloved Nazar Kingdom as well. Let’s just leave it to the first army.」

I see….

Those purgatory guys are from Nazar, huh?

One of the best clans that compete for the top position in the labyrinth city of Quall Kingdom is from Nazar… isn’t that pretty bad?

「But, I’m sure His Majesty and Her Highness want the enchanter, who will bring harm to our country, to disappear as soon as possible!」

「That’s true, but…」

「Don’t worry. My disguise is perfect! That’s why I’ve survived until now as one of the best assassins in Purgatory!」

The information is leaking to the assassination target, though.

「Besides, we have acquired Quall citizenship as a precaution. I’m sure he won’t know that we’re from Nazar even if he has an appraisal.」

Sorry.

I just found out about it even without using appraisal.

After that, the members of <Beyond the Purgatory> leaked various information without knowing that we were eavesdropping.

Unfortunately, we had to stop our exploration.

We must return to the surface and tell the guild and the king about this….
