Chapter 188.2
Chapter 188.2. Ranch Dungeon Adventure
-Miu’s POV-
The spacious grounds are surrounded by walls made of magic concrete. Half of the grounds have been turned into a parking lot, which can accommodate around 300 cars.
Several lined up transport trucks, and a large freezer warehouse in the back. Next to it is a three-story building with a souvenir shop on the first floor and a restaurant on the second floor, as indicated by the stickers on the wall.
There also seems to be a food corner, with a banner announcing the start of matcha soft-serve ice cream. The freshly steamed potato butter looks delicious.
[Welcome! Welcome to Kamakura Ranch!]
There is a cheap-looking sign in front of the gate. It gives it a typical tourist spot vibe.
“A service area?”
“Yes, that’s right. The Kamakura Ranch Dungeon is famous for having weak enemies among the managed dungeons.”
As Mii-chan murmurs with disappointment, Yamiyo consoles her. So that’s why it’s called the Ranch Dungeon.
“In a place like this, it’s possible to conduct safe magical experiments. What do you think, Yamiyo-san?”
“Magical experiments? Since the Ranch Dungeon is very rare, I don’t think they would allow anything that could ruin it.”
“Yes, you’re right. If something like that were to happen, it would be a huge loss.”
Yamiyo curiously replies as Sena asks in a stiff tone, showing slight nervousness.
“It’d be troublesome if the Ranch Dungeon were to get destroyed! We haven’t even come close to recovering the money we invested here!”
It would be a massive loss. We spent so much money on constructing buildings, laying roads, labor costs, and other expenses. I’ll never forgive the enemies attempting to destroy the dungeon core.
Not forgive them? Oh no, that possibility exists. It would be perfect for harassment. I should give additional instructions to Frigg-oneesan and the others.
“Alright, kids, let’s go in!”
“Yes!”
Guided by Kongou-neesan, we follow her eagerly. Only Nimue unsteadily walks toward the food corner to buy soft-serve ice cream.
Next to the building is a small but sturdy dome with [Entrance to Kamakura Ranch Dungeon] written on it.
“Um, did we already buy tickets for the group?”
“Yes, young lady. I have already purchased tickets for the number of people and the duration of our trip.”
“Thank you, Ranko-san.”
She’s truly a capable maid. While holding Nimue by the neck, she bows respectfully.
“There’s grape picking with multi-shot projectiles and a rocket sweet potato digging course… There are various other activities too!”
They all seem like suspicious courses. I wonder if they designed it for magicians.
.
However, there are quite a few ordinary people here as well.
A crowd of ordinary people lined up at the entrance. Families, couples… everyone seems to be having fun. But they wore gloves and thick clothing.
“The grape picking course just involves throwing grapes at you, and the rocket sweet potato course only has sweet potatoes flying out of the fields at about 10 kilometers per hour. As for the Poyopoyos, even ordinary people can enjoy knocking them down if they have a metal bat. That’s the charm of the Kamakura Ranch Dungeon.”
Kongou-neesan kindly explains.
“So it’s like a theme park where you can experience thrills.”
“The disclaimer states that any injuries are the visitor’s responsibility.”
Well, I walk alongside the queue with a pitter-patter. There’s a passage for high-ranking nobles. Sorry for those who are waiting.
The dungeon entrance opens up with a gentle slope, and the interior is bright.
The ceiling is high, and bright as if sunlight is shining through. A gentle breeze blows, and the surroundings are filled with plains.
“Ohh, so this is the Ranch Dungeon!”
The plains are divided by fences, with fields, rice paddies, and orchards. In the distance, Poyopoyo is bouncing around, and little chicks are flying in the sky.
It’s a peaceful landscape, one could say. But there are flying chicks. I wonder if those are real chicks.
“It would be peaceful if it weren’t for the crowd.”
It’s not like the bustling beach in summer, but it’s crowded. Ah, I know, it’s like the outskirts of a newly started online game, where everyone is hunting weak enemies and it’s crowded.
“The druids manage the fields, so the taste here is better than other ranch dungeons.”
“And despite having 10 floors, the monsters that appear don’t vary much and are weak. Even ordinary people can progress up to the 5th floor.”
Ranko-san and Kongou-neesan explain, and I see! So there’s a dungeon like this. It’s a type that didn’t exist in games.
“But it’s still dangerous, so it seems ordinary people stop at the 2nd floor. Mii-sama, let’s go up to the 6th floor.”
“Yes!”
Yamiyo holds my hand, and I nod and proceed down to the lower floors.
As we progress, most monsters have already been hunted by ordinary people and adventurers, and I can’t even see them. Well, strict restrictions on the number of people are necessary, huh?
And then, we arrive at the 3rd floor.
“Ah! There’s a Hornbear Cow!”
Tamamo’s voice made Mii-chan’s eyes widen in anticipation.
A family is sitting on a leisure sheet. Only the father is standing in front of the monster. It seems they’re hunting Hornbear Cows.
“Is that the Hornbear Cow?”
“Yes, that’s the Hornbear Cow!”
“Ohh!”
It’s my first time seeing it. So that’s the Hornbear Cow.
That’s it? It looks familiar. It’s not my first encounter.
