The dungeon has been parasitized

Chapter 105 Cargo Handling

Yanami followed the guard through the small door. Inside the brick and stone building, Yanami walked along the corridor for a while and then stopped in front of a room.

"This is it. There is tea and snacks inside. Please take your time to relax."

The guard did not follow them into the break room. After opening the door, he returned to his post.

Yanami walked into the lounge, where she was all alone.

The lounge wasn't particularly luxurious, but at least it had wooden floors and chairs. The chairs were made from the skin of some kind of monster, and the table was just a simple wooden table.

It seems the rat tribe took refuge in a temporary stronghold because of the demonic tide, which is why the stronghold is relatively crude.

However, the city walls are very sturdy.

"Ah, cookies! I haven't had them in ages!"

Yanami excitedly went to the table and picked up a cookie.

There was tea and some kind of biscuit on the table. It was hard to tell what kind of tea it was, but the biscuits were brown with large black specks on the surface, which reminded Klein of cookies.

However, they shouldn't be the same thing, right?

At this moment, Yanami had already put the biscuit in her mouth and was chewing it with a look of enjoyment.

After Yanami finished eating, Klein poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down in one gulp before speaking to her.

"Is it good? What does it taste like?"

"It's alright, it has a slightly sweet taste, it's probably made from wheat flour, but it contains some kind of dried fruit, this is it."

Yanami pointed to the black particles on the surface of the biscuit.

"Oh, it's dried fruit."

"I'd like to try making it when we get back, Klein. Shall we buy some wheat flour?"

"Sure."

Klein was slightly disappointed; this cookie wasn't the kind of cookie he remembered, just an ordinary cookie.

After all, putting dried fruit inside cookies is something anyone in any world could think of, right?

If this is a cookie, Klein thought that maybe there were other time travelers, and perhaps it was a time traveler who made this kind of cookie.

However, reality shattered his expectations.

Time travelers aren't that easy to find...

Yanami sat in the lounge for about half an hour, and then the door to the lounge opened, and two familiar faces came in.

"Yana Mi! You've come!"

"Ah, it's been a long time, hyacinths and daisies."

"Hello, it's been a long time."

The two rat-like beings who had been in contact with Yanami all along came in.

In fact, their relationship is getting better and better.

"We rushed over as soon as we heard you were coming. The leader instructed us to be your guides."

Yanami put down the plate of cookies she was holding; she had almost finished them all. She had been eating cookies to pass the time while waiting.

"Hey, how are these cookies?"

"It's delicious!"

"That's good, I like it too."

Seeing Yanami's smile, Hyacinth and Daisy also smiled.

"You wanted Rock Smash to transport the goods, right? We've brought them for you. Now let's go out together."

"Okay~"

Yanami stood up and took another cookie, but instead of eating it, she held it in her hand and put her hand in her pocket.

Is this something you plan to carry around and eat anytime...?

Then, Yanami followed Hyacinth and Daisy outside. As they walked, Hyacinth would turn around curiously and ask questions.

"By the way, do you have that much stuff to take? Didn't we already trade most of it with you when we went to your house before?"

"Only... the magic core remains, right?"

Daisies joined in the discussion.

"Hehehe, a lot has happened lately, so I've acquired a lot of new things. Don't be too surprised when you see them!"

Yanami raised her chin smugly.

"Haha, is that so? Then I'll look forward to getting a big scare."

"Let's look forward to it."

They came out through the small door they had come in through earlier. Hyacinth looked at Shadow Wolf in surprise and noticed the bags hanging all over Shadow Wolf's body.

"So many things... I'm already surprised just by seeing this."

"You'll be even more surprised when you see what's inside."

"Then, without further ado..."

Hyacinth smiled at Yanami, then turned around and shouted at the city wall.

"Open the door!"

crunch...

A sound came from inside the wall, and the stone fence was slowly pulled up until it disappeared completely, clearing the passage.

Behind the stone fence was a guinea pig that had been brought to the plantation earlier, also known as the rock-breaking rat by the rat-like people. It was being temporarily led by a guard.

After the stone gate opened, Daisy walked to the Rockbreaker Rat, took the reins, and led the Rockbreaker Rat to the Shadow Wolf.

"With so much stuff, no wonder they need Rockbreaker Rats to transport it."

"yes."

Yanami approached the Shadow Wolf, took out the cookies she had brought earlier, and then used telepathy to call out to Klein.

"Klein, would you like to try some?"

"Huh? You brought this for me? I thought you were planning to take it as a snack."

"How rude of me, I'm being very thoughtful. Klein seemed quite curious, so I thought I'd let him try it too."

"Then I'll give it a try."

Klein personally controlled the Shadow Wolf, and then opened its mouth.

Yanami smiled and then tossed the cookie in.

Klein tasted it and found nothing special; just as Yanami had said, it was a very ordinary taste.

"How is it?"

"I feel the same way as Yanami."

"Hehe, same as always."

Hyacinth and Daisy, standing nearby, felt a little strange watching Yanami chuckle at Shadow Wolf.

"You're so kind to it."

"After all, it's a gluttonous creature."

As she spoke, Yanami patted the Shadow Wolf on the head.

Are you the glutton?

"Then we'll help you transfer the items to the Rockbreaker Rat, and then we'll go into the city."

"Me too, I'll help."

"Okay, thank you."

Hyacinth and Daisy came to the Shadow Wolf's side, but their bodies were trembling slightly, and they seemed a little restrained and afraid.

"What's wrong?"

Yanami, who was about to take the things off, looked at them curiously.

"I didn't feel anything when I was watching Yanami interact with it, but when I got closer, it was... well, it was still a bit scary. After all, it's a Shadow Wolf."

Is Shadow Wolf actually very strong?

However, it is indeed a very useful monster.

"Don't worry, it's very obedient."

"...Can I...feel it?!"

After a moment of silence, Daisy suddenly looked at Yanami with shining eyes.

"Ah, no problem, feel free to touch."

"Daisy...you're quite bold in subtle ways."

"Because I've never had a chance to touch it!"

Daisy's tone was somewhat excited, her large, round ears swaying as they peeked out from her head, and her tail wagging behind her.

And he stopped stuttering, was it because he was so happy?

Was it because you were excited, not scared, that you were trembling just now?
