Living in Another World by Commissioning 〜Healing Mage’s Relaxing and Fluffy Manpower Agency〜 - CH 67.2
A rabbitkin rearguard, with good ears, put her ear against the wall to listen for vibrations and pointed to a passageway facing west.
「There might be two or even three boars there.」
「Alright, let’s go!」
Everyone’s heads turned to the west and the intense light created by the magic construct cut through the bewitching darkness of the dungeon.
A lukewarm wind was blowing from the back of the dungeon filled with a beastly smell.

By the time we’ve reached the lower floor, we had already killed seven boards and without a magic wagon that moves on its own, it would have been quite difficult for a group of twelve to bring them back.
The four eyed boar, which is stuffed with meat, is heavy. If we plan to bring back not just the magic crystal, we would be only able to bring back one.
「You know what, the fastest way to rise is to have children and have them become master and madam’s children’s retainers.」
「But if they are our children, wouldn’t they be slaves?」
「No, before that, the child will have madam’s blood too, right? What if the young lord is impudent? 」
「Well, that’s true」
「You better get a man first before thinking something like that.」
「I guess that’s the biggest problem….I’ve already saved enough for a wedding.」
「Me too, I can get married anytime I want.」
「If only I had a partner…..」
My team were walking while talking nonsense until one of them said “Be quiet”.
The one who said that was Impa, a dogkin vanguard.
「The smell has changed. Birds are flying around this place.」
「Aiyo!」
Yambo, the spearman, spun her spear around her hand and made one loud whoosh sound.
「Put the net on!」
「Yeah!」
The four vanguards held their poles tied to a net up and moved forward.
It’s hard but birds don’t have footsteps.
We have no choice but to let them do this in order to avoid being ambushed.
Behind us all is someone resting while riding the magic wagon. She’s monitoring the path behind us while illuminating the path.
Nothing is absolute but being over geared is great.
「Here it comes!」
「Uuoooo!」
「Giiiii!」
「Gee! Gee!」
In the net set by the vanguard were oni sparrows that are as big as a human child.
Their beaks were sharp and their claws were sharp like blades as it claws the iron net.
「Deiii!」
Two thrusts from Yambo, delivered at lightning speed, stabbed the oni sparrows in the head. Two corpses fell to the ground.
The vanguards lifted the net and stepped over the oni sparrows. After that, they returned to their previous stances.
「Incoming!」
「Gii! Gii!」
From the darkness came a screech and sound of flapping wings.
Yambo spun her spear around again and shouted “Bring it on” to the darkness.
It was not long after that oni sparrow, perhaps provoked, flew to our field of vision.

After running around the dungeon until noon, we returned outside. The long, slender, built for dungeon use magic wagon was already full of prey.
Today, there are three teams in the dungeon so there are also three magic wagons.
We called the deputy of the dungeon autonomous region to confirm the number of magic crystals and the number of preys we hunted. After getting their signatures, we brought the magic carriage to Torquiva.
The preys will be dismantled in Torquiva and they will be processed into clothes, food, and other items that will be sold at the Schenker family store.
As one would expect from a merchant, nothing will be wasted.
「Food food, what’s going to be today’s food?」
「I’m looking forward for today’s lunch.」
Every day, the dungeon group is provided with a special lunch box.
The lunchboxes are plenty, tasty, and most importantly, they are specially made for us.
Today’s lunch includes tender pork stewed in a sweet and spicy sauce, a well-seasoned boiled egg, and noodles that have been boiled and seasoned.
They’re the kind of foods that are easily digested and will give you strength fast.
