Apprentice Alchemist Bakes Bread - Relaxed Collection and Forest Workshop Life

"Iris, Ignis, let's get right back on the ground. If this is a change in the labyrinth, it could hinder your way home. I'll refill the water just in case, and then I'll leave."

"Yes."

"Then Ignis, can you dry this mud off because we're gonna drop it first?

"Let me do it ~! Put some water on with Zabun!

Indeed.

I tried to get up and noticed, but the clothes soaked in mud to my hips are very heavy. If you want to hurry, you should drop it because it's easy.

Iris, get some water on this first.

"Oh, thank you"

I will ask Mr. Letterio to lend me a spare water bottle from his wonder bag and draw on "Butterfly Sweet Water".

"Wow, the fountain here is very warm."

"It's mundane, isn't it? Thank you for exploring at this temperature."

"Don't you cook a lot in the labyrinth?

"Hmmm...... I mean boiled and cooked, I guess I'll only do enough to warm and broil. Basically, we don't cook."

"Heh..."

Then I'd like to make you something good for your portable meal.

It should have been a casual 'day labyrinth exploration' today, but this is the trouble. If anything happens on the way home, it could be a camp.

I was enjoying the collection at ease, but I recognised once again that the labyrinth was a dangerous place.

"I knew you wanted something light, bulky, nutritious, and warm if you could..."

"Hmm? Oh, cell phone food? That's right...... Iris sandwiches are delicious, but I don't know if they're very suitable when diving for days. You can bring it with you until the first few meals... but it looks like you can have such a convenient portable meal for the long run?

"For once, I'm bringing a candidate... hope I don't get a chance to reveal today"

That's what I said, Zabun! and jumped into the fountain.

Really, I'm glad it's not cold water to say Ignis will dry it right away!

"Iris - Leku - Mmm!

As I squeezed my wet clothes up from the fountain, Ignis with the butterfly flew in again.

"You know - the butterflies say it's better to hurry! 'Road' is stretching ~ ~ I'm saying ~"

"The Road" is stretching? What do you mean?

"Letterios…"

"Okay. I want to go back to two layers at least. Let's hurry."

"Yikes!

Ignis shook one tail and dried our wet clothes at once.

Yeah, the muddy smell hasn't fallen out, but it's comfortable getting the hockey to dry!

"The labyrinth... the night is coming"

The sky now, just a little orange dragged purple. The west is seeing the white moon.

There is also a "White Pebble Road" here, so there is no getting lost. And yet, already, we walked twice as long as we did when we came.

"Yeah. There's wind and weather changing hierarchies."

"It's a mundane"

"Really. The labyrinth is still full of things I don't quite understand. Some hierarchies are the same as the time and climate on earth, while others are the opposite of time, season and truth. Tiny weather, too. It's like you're connecting a box called The Labyrinth somewhere else... but I don't know the truth."

"Heh... If Koko was somewhere else, wouldn't he be able to go to some city?

"You don't have that, do you? Not all floors, but someone checked to see if there was fruit (...) and (...)? I even walked straight and said there were fruits (...) and (...). However, the scenery lasted a long time, and I couldn't take a step from a certain point as if it were a wall."

End of story...

It has different characteristics or is limitless for each layer. What the hell is a labyrinth? Where is co (...) co (...)?

"I don't know... it's like a boxyard"

"Box garden... Create a place for all sorts of conditions to see and enjoy - don't be frightened when you think someone is having fun doing it."

Somebody...

I never thought about that, but is it something the labyrinth naturally occurs or someone made it? Mr. Letterio, I'm guessing the Labyrinth Expedition is looking into that.

"Ah, Leku ~! There was a staircase!

It's a long-awaited voice from Ignis who was ahead of us.

Me and Mr. Letterio looked at each other and ran back in charge of the slime bag on their shoulders.

"Mm-hmm. Over the stairs.!?

"Really...... It wasn't this long when I came..."

It wasn't this color.

I look under my feet, I look at the wall and I think so.

When I came down, the stairs were made of sturdy white stone. Probably the same stone as' White Pebble Road '. But now underfoot is a black stone with a jarring and coarse surface. And even if you look up there, it's long beyond sight.

When the hell are we going to get to the second level? No, can you wear it?

My anxiety swells at once, but I take a deep breath and manage to quell my feelings.

I still have food. There is also water. There's fire because there's Ignis, and there's something edible about the herbs we collect. It's not like there's no way, the butterflies said 'the road is stretching'. If you're just stretching, you should get there someday.

It's okay, it's okay...

"Iris!"

"What..."

Mr. Letterio's smile in front of him with his face up. And the right hand offered.

"Here we are. Two layers."

Mr. Letterio takes up the slime bag first, then pulls me up the dark stairs.

"Ah... thank you"

"I'll just walk a little longer. If I go to the hill where I took a break in the morning, I'll take a short pause."

"Yes."

That hill through the woods of tall legged spiders?

If we get that far, the staircase to the first floor is just around the corner, and from what I've seen, there's no change in these two floors. Almost to the ground. And I exhaled one foot sooner.

"Take a break from Ignis here. I'm gonna have a little chat with the others."

"Yes! Please"

"Come on in."

Besides us on the hill were hunters and knights who came together in the morning, about 20 human beings.

When I was up the stairs, I was surprised to see this many people because there was no sign of people back and forth, but well, I guess this is also a labyrinth wonder.

"Ignis, do you want honey dice? Or do you want some sweet water?

"Both ~!

"Yes, sir. Look, open your mouth?

"Ahhh."

I'll choke honey dice in my kappa open mouth. The butterfly sweet water I had just drawn was poured into a cup like a pork mouth for Ignis.

And I pick one, honey dies.

"Huh."

The intense sweetness that spreads with trollies twitches and swells down my throat.

"Oh, this is the one with the orange peel ~...... yummy"

It's a whimsical hidden flavor. Slightly bitter, the refreshing acidity that spreads when chewed makes the tiredness soothingly lighter.

"Oh, isn't that Lek's junior?

"Huh? Oh, really. Did you come from upstairs?

Running from the high legged spider forest is one of those busy junior knights. By the way, I can see those two and three surrounding Mr. Letterio under the hill.

"Mm-hmm? Oh, it's like they're calling me something. ~? Iris, are you okay on your own? I've been going for a while.

"Yeah, I'm fine! Go and get him."

"Ha! - Nah ~ ha ~ Lek ~"

Ignis squirts his honey dice and puns! and flew over.

"Talk to Ignis? What the hell?"

With that said, Ignis was sensitive to the concentration and flow of magic vegetables. Labyrinth butterflies were also able to communicate with their will...

"Would you even talk to a tall legged spider...?

I drank warm sweet water.

♢

"Iris, thank you for waiting"

"Ah, Mr. Letterio! Yes, have a mouth."

I stopped my hand in packing and offered Mr. Letterio a cup of sweet water.

"Thanks"

"The knights were gathered... is something wrong?

"Yeah. From the results, I was supposed to stay here today. My guys have been scouting my way home, and apparently the stairs from one level to the ground aren't connected."

"Eh..."

Is that what happened...!?

"But I'm probably fine - I'm just unstable right now, and I think I'll be back in a little while ~!

"- Because Ignis, the Spirit of Fire, says, and even from the precedent, it will stabilize in the near future, I'm going to camp here, which is relatively safe... Iris, are you okay?

The sky is about to start spreading deep blue nights. Oh, I think I see a good starry sky today. (even though it's in the labyrinth)

"Oh, yes, I'm fine! Eh...... thank you for the night!

"Yeah...... nice to meet you"

Mr. Letterio has a somewhat subtle smile.... Why?

"Ah, hey, Leh - juniors, you're on your hands.?

"Are they coming... you look like you're having fun..."

Mr. Letterio smashed his tongue with a "chip".

Yeah. Senior Letterio must be having a lot of trouble with something.
