In a forest about a day's journey away from Labyrinth.
A large number of people were moving back and forth across a clearing.
In the middle of the clearing created within the woods, the entrance to a hidden dungeon had been revealed on the ground.
Several tents had been set up around that dungeon entrance. It was the base camp for the investigation team tasked with exploring the dungeon.
Even now, loads of exploration equipment and supplies continued to arrive at the camp.
Inside one of the many tents there.
Ian and his members were waiting for the exploration preparations to be completed inside a tent specifically set up for the mercenary group.
A dungeon exploration.
Rin, who was recalling the details of this request and imagining what the inside of the dungeon would be like, asked Ian.
'Is a dungeon like the place we went to during the promotion exam?'
'That was an abandoned dungeon where all the traps and mechanisms had been deactivated, so it's a bit different.'
