The taste in Kain's mouth seed to explode.
Previously, Kain didn't pay much attention to the so-called cream that was spread on top of the cake. Although the taste wasn't bad, it was just the sweetness of sugar, adding to the sweetness of the cake.
But now, Kain knew that although their nas and appearances were quite similar, the two were fundantally different.
Here, Kain feels the soft texture, the delicate mixed flavors lting in the mouth. He could sll the milk, along with a hint of egg, as if they had been mixed and distilled in a cold environnt to achieve the desired effect. These additions made the sweetness of the ice cream no longer coarse and boring like the ice cream that ca with the cake, but could stand alone as a separate dish, and of course, very delicious.
"It's still the sa basic ingredients, but under the boundless creativity of humans, the things we can create seem limitless."
Kain sighed, but his voice was filled with admiration.
Suddenly, he turned to ra who was sitting there smiling, frowned slightly and said.
"Why are you suddenly taking out for ice cream?"
"Didn't you say before that you've never tried these dishes?"
ra replied naturally.
"So I'll take you out to eat."
Hearing that, Kain was slightly moved. He chuckled, then scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and brought it to ra. The unexpected action made her freeze for a mont.
"It's not good to let you watch eat alone, do you want to try?"
"Ahh…"
ra unconsciously wanted to shake her head, because she had previously visited many different ice cream shops to try the flavors.
In other words, her stomach is a little bloated now.
But seeing Kain's expectant look, ra couldn't bear to refuse, so she opened her mouth to receive Kain's offering of ice cream.
"Isn't it amazing?"
"Yes yes."
ra nodded vigorously, it wasn't as bad as she thought.
As it turned out, she wasn't as full as she thought.
Just like that, the two of them shared the rest of the ice cream.
Until finally, ra suddenly spoke hesitantly.
"Uh... Kain..."
"What's up?"
"I want to say this... and... you won't be angry?"
"Why should I be angry?"
Kain had a puzzled expression on his face, causing ra to suddenly realize that she was worrying too much.
"I just don't want to make you feel like you're being disrespected."
Looking at the girl's serious eyes, Kain was suddenly stunned.
Such a small thing... she even noticed?
Kain was moved by this action a second ti.
He may "pamper" ra, but ra also "pampers" him, doesn't sh"Hau
"Just say it, whatever it is."
"You should withdraw from this expedition."
ra spoke in a serious tone, but there was a faint fear in her eyes.
"Not this ti."
Kain refuses ra's request.
"That place... is too dangerous!"
'That's why I have to go, you don't want to be in danger, but I don't want you to be in danger either.'
Towards Kain's sincerity, ra was montarily unable to get the words out of her mouth. But in the end, she still blurted out.
"Don't treat like a three year old child who needs to be taken care of anymore, I'm much stronger than before, you know."
"I didn't an it that way."
Kain shook his head, he knew ra still had a certain basis for confidence, but this was no joke.
"ra, just trust , okay?"
ra sighed, finally nodding.
And to reinforce his conviction, Kain continued.
"I want to ask you and Myra a favor. I want you both to invite as many people as possible to join this expedition."
"What do you want to do?"
"I have a plan, and it needs the help of others."
…
After convincing ra, Kain returned to his dormitory.
In fact, this plan was only sketched out in Kain's head, and not even its skeleton was complete.
But that's enough.
He walked to the wall where he had pasted countless notes, then began to sketch out the layout of the lonely fortress based on his mory.
The lonely fortress, except for the four directions of east, west, south, and north, is divided into living areas and garrison areas. That is, if we separate the structure of the fortress, Kain would have eight different areas.
Each area is separated by walls. This is to prevent monsters from entering or appearing inside the fortress, although the chances are very small. After all, the fortress is already part of the Dungeon, which makes it possible for monsters to appear inside the fortress.
The fog had obscured all visibility anyway. Making it much more difficult to spot the monster early on.
Perhaps, the reason this place is abandoned. Because even a high-class Magus cannot protect everyone completely.
However, Kain did not need to control such a large area, he only needed to defend in one area.
The location he chose was the western living area.
The living area has more open space, making it easier for Magus to attack, and there are also fewer hiding places for monsters if they invade. This place is also less complicated, even if everyone lives at a distance from each other, they can still quickly gather together.
Given the limited foresight, these were the best Kain could co up with.
As for the Magus, their firepower far exceeds that of the Crawlers, so they need open areas to attack.
At the sa ti, the living area is also located inside the lonely fortress, which will reduce the rate of monsters entering from outside. Or at least there will be a buffer zone to guard against.
Actually, any living area would be fine. But Kain chose the west because of his backup plan.
The backup plan is to risk escaping to a truly safe area.
The west side of the main fortress is the direction that leads straight to the end of the Dungeon floor, which is the room of the guardian monster.
