Prev  |  TOC  |  Next For a month, I had been idly playing games while watching the dungeon expeditions unfold. It was the same as always. Nothing ever really changed. In the No-Hunger Dungeon, adventurers were constantly running wild in drunken excitement, all chasing after the alcohol. Meanwhile, the Hot Spring Dungeon had become crowded with high-ranking people from various countries and their escorting attendants, all seeking the benefits of its waters. 　 In that same Hot Spring Dungeon, the female knights of Sepans were always bustling about—hauling water, carrying soap, and even soaking some mysterious parts in the Enhancement Spring, all while being made to train their bodies. By now, either the second unit had grown considerably stronger, or they had simply gotten used to the enemies on the 18th floor, because they no longer struggled against the red bear at all.

I wonder, if you just replicate the weaving method, would it really end up with the same properties?” Auf held the towel fabric up to the light, carefully examining its distinctive weave. Even after unraveling the towel and extracting a single strand, then closely observing its strength and absorbency, it appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary cotton thread. If anything, when looking at the thread alone, the fibers from Thread Dungeon—with their unnaturally high durability or bizarre quick-drying properties—seemed far more advanced. “So this must be something that was considered completely normal technology in the world where the Hot Spring Dungeon’s will once resided, right? Then it should be reproducible. The only difference seems to be in the way the cloth is woven.” She wanted to use this towel as a reference and recreate it using cotton thread from the Kingdom of Sepans, but unfortunatel...
