But then Tasia burrowed under the covers, only her head peeking out. After a moment, she said, "Master, the bed is warm now. Please come in."
Warming the master's bed is one of the basic duties of maids on this continent.
Tasia lifted a corner of the blanket, her face expressionless, and waited for Linda to change and go to sleep.
"This is so unhealthy!"
With a determined look, Lia pounced on the bed, and to Tasia's astonishment, she slipped under the covers and took over the spot that originally belonged to Linda.
"Now that I'm here, I won't allow you to do anything obscene! Besides, I'm a patient, how can I sleep in that sleeping bag? What if I freeze to death at night?"
The enclosed secret realm at night is shrouded in a menacing [cold wave], so intense that even Lia, who possesses fire-type battle aura, feels the cold.
That natural climate is a kind of magic that can disregard the power of adventurers, allowing them to experience the most primal awe of nature.

"I'm a patient!" Leah used her body as a shield.
"Stop arguing, or you'll attract monsters and cause trouble."

Only wisps of pale red moonlight peeked in through the gaps in the vine curtain.
Tasia and Lia have stopped arguing. Although Tasia is dissatisfied, Linda has given the order, so she won't say anything even if she dislikes Lia.
The two stood back to back, neither wanting to see the other's face.
Tasia faced the wall, while Lia looked outside.
What came into view was Lin Da, who had moved a stone bench and was sitting in front of the vine curtain reading a book.
"What are you doing?" Leah couldn't help but ask.
"Killing the rock serpent was too noisy and might attract some monsters, or... other adventurers."
The mention of the word "adventurer" sent a glint of cold light through Linda's eyes. He wasn't naive enough to believe that everyone would join hands to overcome difficulties; sometimes, adventurers were more dangerous than monsters.
