Loki just poked his head into the back alleys and sparsely populated places, and occasionally asked questions at shops or residents on the avenue, which made Bert very impatient and swung his gray fur tail vigorously.

"Um……"

Loki, who was holding a cloth bag in his hand, responded slowly and glanced around.

"Actually, I've been doing some research on my own since yesterday... I'm now doing a final check to see if there's anything I've missed."

Including today, these two days after the Monster Festival ended, Loki investigated East Street alone.

After a secret conversation with [Freya, the Goddess of Beauty], Loki concluded that there was a third party besides her, and perhaps the piranha monster was released for some purpose.

Ais and others were affected, and Lefia was seriously injured. Even if it was just to settle a score with the other party, these reasons alone were enough for Loki to take action.

She limited the scope of her investigation to East Street, but so far she has not found any strong clues.

Located on the street where the piranha monster broke through the ground and appeared, the big hole has been filled in and the surface has returned to calm.

"In other words, do you want to investigate the kind of monster that Tione and the others have dealt with? It's troublesome enough...doesn't the guild or Ganesha have any information on it?"

"I wanted to inquire, but they were busy cleaning up the mess for the celebration and dealing with residents' complaints and protests, so they didn't have the chance to ask me questions."

While talking to Bert, Loki looked up at the huge amphitheater that asserted its existence in the corner of his field of vision.

The East Street area is located in the East District of the city, including the amphitheater, and the facilities managed by the guild are concentrated in this area.

Almost all the festivals hosted by the city are held in this place.

Subsequently, many hotels were opened to provide accommodation for tourists from outside the city who came to visit the festival.

Leaving the street, the two walked into complex alleys that were different from other areas where high-rise buildings and hotels with three floors or more were particularly conspicuous.

As they walked further, the red-brick luxury hotels gradually turned into wooden cheap hotels. Soon Loki stopped.

In front of the narrow alley is a small space surrounded by buildings.

In the corner of the space were some dirty equipment piled haphazardly, and there was a single-family stone hut built there.

"We've generally checked the streets... and this is the only one left."

After speaking, Loki reached for the heavy wooden door.

She thought it must be locked, but she didn't expect that there was no resistance when she pulled it. She just pulled open the rusty iron door knocker, and with a low friction sound, the door slowly opened.

The cabin was empty, save for a spiral staircase that led beneath the floor.

She stepped on it without hesitation, made a "click" sound, and stepped down the stairs.

After walking a few circles along the spiral, Loki and Bert came to the dark underground sewer.

Burt muttered tiredly as things were getting more troublesome.

"I really should have given this job to Raul or someone else..."

"Although Raul does a lot of things, he is not a tool man. Don't leave everything to him, Bert."

"Oh, you asked him to clean the restaurant yesterday."

The small magic stone light that was about to end its lifespan, the sound of water flowing into my ears, and the sewer where endless darkness spread.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely reward you later. I will introduce you to any girl."

"No need, just give me wine."

"Did you guess it in advance... That's great, Bert."

"Tsk..."

Unexpectedly, Bert curled his lips as he guessed correctly.

Loki took out the portable magic stone lamp from the bag he was carrying and lit it. The lighting fixture, somewhat resembling a kerosene lantern, immediately illuminated the dark surrounding space.

"Tiona and Tione helped me investigate on the day of the celebration, but it's better to be cautious. They were just following the traces of those monsters, and there might be something missing."

"Let those two brainless Amazons check it out. There will definitely be a lot of things missed."

After advancing through the narrow passage for a while, the two came to the broad main waterway with gurgling water.

This is a tubular tunnel made of stone with a diameter of about six meters.

There is water running through the center, and there are footholds and passages on both sides of the tunnel for people to move forward.

Loki and the others walked along the narrow passage on the right side of the sewer.

The sound of water flowing was loud enough to hinder the conversation between the two.

Branch waterways merge from various places, making the sound of water echo in the sewers.

But on the other hand, although the air in the sewer is indeed turbid than the ground, it does not have the unique smell of sewage.

Loki used a magic stone lamp to illuminate the front, and placed several crystal pillars emitting blue-purple light in the ditch of the slender branch waterway.

Its shape is like an iron fence, which does not block the flow, but allows the water to pass directly. It is one of the magic stone products that the labyrinth city [Orario] is proud of.

The purification columns arranged at intervals like fences can purify the sweat flowing through and turn it into clean water.

In other words, it is a water purification device.

The water in the ditch is so transparent and clear that it is impossible to imagine that it is sweat discharged from the urban area.

Such purification fences placed throughout the waterways prevent the sewers from flooding the sky with odors and prevent contamination of the brackish water lake in the southwest to which the sewers lead.

"You really know how to invent some convenient tools."

Loki admired the inhabitants of the Nether.

"But these intricate passages and this atmosphere... it's really a bit like a dungeon..."

"How can it be."

Burt, who went into the real maze every day, sneered at Loki's words.

He laughed at the fact that an artificial maze was so small that he wanted to call it a dungeon.

There are countless horizontal roads and stairs on the wall, as well as bridges on the other side.

Bert was very good at exploring the dark sewers, and whenever Loki encountered danger, he immediately fought it off.

Perhaps coming from the brackish lake through the sea, the fish monster "Raider Fish" once jumped out of the water and attacked, but was immediately kicked to death by Burt.
