Chapter 339: Dark Demon's Three-Person Journey
The entrance of the stairway connecting the first floor of the dungeon to the second floor uneventfully stood at the end of a passage.
There was neither a gate to block monsters nor a boss to guard the entrance.
The entrance of the stairway was even rather low and small, to the point Professor Nini had to bend down a little to pass through it.
But just as the walls of the dungeon could actually be broken, it should also be possible to widen this stairway leading to the lower floor.
The party went into the stairway in succession, and after going down for five minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance hall of the second floor.
The area was similar to a circular hall, and located right in the middle, the frog "fountain" that was upwardly spewing green liquid seemed to be the magic energy mark of the second floor.Upon walking out of the stairway, Professor Nini flared her nostrils and sniffed for quite some time before announcing, "Take a break here, it's time for lunch."
"Alright!"
The students who had been waiting for this moment immediately cheered in excitement.
Getting into small groups, the boys and girls soon dispersed around the hall.
After more than an hour of trudging over a long distance, both their legs and their stomachs had been protesting non-stop.
To sit down and chat while having a meal at this time certainly felt absolutely wonderful.
Next to the frog fountain, Dark took out his [Magic Energy Compass] and recorded the magic energy before rejoining Dianna and Rose.
The three people sat in a circle and started their meal as if they were camping.
"Yosha~"
Dianna put down her huge backpack, a rain of snacks falling to form a pile as she shook it.
Rose hurriedly stepped forward to straighten up the backpack, tidying up the mess with a troubled look.
When Dark waved at DemiDevimon, it finally flew down and put the multi-tiered lunch box on the ground.
On the other hand, Gatomon had already obediently sat down beside Dark, totally well-behaved.
"What did you bring?" Dark casually asked.
Rose took out a square box from the pile of snacks and whispered, "I made sandwiches with bread, sausage, jam, and other things."
She opened the lid as she spoke, and a whiff of the sweet smell of jam wafted out.
Inside the box, not only were there homemade sandwiches, there were also cakes with cute shapes.
The cakes were safely secured in the box, not the slightest bit ruined by all the shaking.
After saying a few compliments, Dark opened his own lunch box and took it out tier by tier.
The exquisite dishes and rich aroma instantly drew attention.
Dianna reflexively covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Amazing!"
Dark chuckled, "If you guys had gone to the cafeteria, you could've gotten these as well."
"Cafeteria?" Rose asked in a low voice, "Did you ask the halfling chefs for these?"
Dark shrugged, "That's right."
Then, he took out three sets of cutlery from the interlayer of the lunch box. They were nothing more than three small plates, three forks and three spoons.
He divided the cutlery into three sets and gave one each to Dianna and Rose.
Immediately afterwards, he took out three pairs of thin disposable gloves from his backpack and handed them over.
Glancing at her dirty hand as she raised it, Dianna took the gloves with a pout.
Of course, she first washed her hand with water to some extent.
The three of them shared their food and drinks and happily began eating.
"Aah——"
DemiDevimon had been standing at the side for a long time before suddenly recalling something. Thereupon, it eagerly drew close to Dark and opened its mouth towards him.
Dark was a little taken aback. After a while, he finally moved the fork that was about to reach his mouth with a wry smile and used the braised duck meat on the fork to fill DemiDevimon's mouth.
Chomp chomp.
DemiDevimon immediately started chewing contentedly.
On the side, Gatomon's eyes spontaneously widened.
"Aah——"
The same sound came once more.
Very keenly, Gatomon quickly turned its head and saw that the shameless girl called "Dianna" had actually imitated that brass-necked DemiDevimon and opened her mouth.
Dark couldn't help feeling stunned again.
Rose covered her mouth and chuckled.
Helpless, Dark picked a large piece of meat from the lunch box, took it with his fork, dipped it in sweet sauce, then slightly leaned over to stuff it into her mouth.
"Wow."
Biting the large piece of meat into her mouth, Dianna proudly looked at the stupefied DemiDevimon.
DemiDevimon: Why are you, a human, competing with us familiar spirits?
The picnic atmosphere was running high.
……
However, not everyone was as happy as Dark's group of three.
White and Robert were still on the tenterhooks. Biting on dry biscuits, their eyes kept occasionally shifting onto the other students.
The two's target was a classmate who brought a [Magic Energy Compass].
But putting aside the few boys, those who brought [Magic Energy Compass] were basically the more scrupulous girls.
In fact, it was rather difficult for two boys to find a girl to team up with.
Even though one of them was "the Brave One's son", the reality was that the girls already had their own circles.
After failing several attempts, White and Robert eventually set their sights on Emma.
As more and more students successfully formed a team, Emma seemed to have become the only option.
White couldn't help asking, "Robert, what do you think of Emma?"
Robert couldn't refrain from rolling his eyes: "If she wasn't Emma, she'd be a good choice."
White: "Then shall we go ask her?"
Robert was startled. "No, hey, White, do you understand what I said? I said if it wasn't Emma..."
White: "It can only be Emma."
Saying so, he walked straight towards Emma.
Among those who owned a [Magic Energy Compass] and had yet to form a team, there was no one more suitable than Emma.
But at this time, Emma Mortis had basically given up on the plan to "move freely".
Since she didn't want to impose on her two deskmates and was also unwilling to randomly find two people to form a team with, she thought of giving up altogether.
There would also be gains by following Professor Nini.
Even so, when White took the initiative to approach her, it still spurred her on.
……
Beside the frog fountain, Professor Nini was sitting all alone at the edge of the fountain with her huge hand dipped inside the water, aimlessly swaying.
She did bring lunch, but she finished it in just a couple of bites.
Who made those foods way too small? It wasn't nearly enough to fill even a fraction of her tummy.
Look, she got hungry again just after sitting down for a while.
If she wasn't bringing her students along, she would've most likely already set out to look for food.
