Chapter 117: Lower Floors

Ultimately, Ais couldn't resist the temptation of the snacks and indulged in the biscuit.

Unlike her happy expression while eating, after indulging, Ais sat alone in the corner, filled with regret.

Luke was responsible for cooking, so Ais typically handled the cleanup after dinner.

After tidying up and stowing the small pot used for boiling soup and the bowls for serving, Luke and Ais prepared to rest.

Both of them would enter the lower floors early the next morning, making it nearly impossible to get a full night's rest thereafter.

When spending the night in the dungeon, keeping watch is necessary.

A small team like Luke and Ais would take turns guarding the upper and lower halves of the night, alternating between rest.

Usually, Luke is tasked with guarding the lower half of the night.

Guarding the upper half is less taxing on the body, leading to a better feeling the next day, so Ais typically takes this shift.

Although late nights won't cause too much harm to their second-class adventurer physical fitness, Ais, being young, used to alternate shifts when Riveria was their team leader, sparing her from wasting her time.

Time flies while sleeping, and before they knew it, it was time to change shifts.

Luke awoke from his slumber very punctually.

'Sleep' is a compulsory course for adventurers, especially for high-class adventurers who have stricter requirements in this regard.

The middle floors are manageable, but in the lower floors and beyond, failing to fall asleep immediately or wake up on time could seriously hinder physical recovery.

Subconsciously calculating the time while asleep and remaining vigilant of their surroundings are also essential qualities of a capable adventurer.

"Ais, it's time to change shifts; you should rest for a while," Luke announced, rousing Ais from her daze.

After hearing Luke's words, she nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

They didn't carry tents, nor did they plan to use sleeping bags.

To ensure readiness for combat at any moment, they slept against the wall fully armored.

This somewhat leisurely camping style and good sleeping habits have nothing to do with their team of only two people.

Moreover, this habit was cultivated after venturing into the lower floors, where there was no time to set up camp in such dangerous places.

Watching Ais with her eyes closed, Luke couldn't help but reflect on her performance in the dungeon.

In the first two years after Ais became an adventurer, resting in the dungeon was a serious challenge for her.

With a vendetta against monsters, she couldn't sleep normally amidst their breath; even when she did manage to sleep, nightmares plagued her.

During that time, if Ais wished to rest in the dungeon, she needed someone to hold her to sleep.

At first, it was Riveria who provided this comfort.

However, after Evilus' activities led to Riveria stepping down as their team leader, it was Luke who offered solace to Ais. He had to gently hold her before she slept.

Recently, however, this problem has significantly improved.

Perhaps it's due to her leveling up, making her feel stronger,
