Chapter 58: The Demon Forest’s Underground Ruins

Plot
Katharina apologizes to the group for her earlier comments. After the apology Wilma nicknames her "Frilly" due to her attire. As they arrive at the ruins the door is locked with a type of combination lock. The group uses rock, paper scissors to determine who will try to open the lock. Erwin is the loser and fortunately, he is able to figure out the combination and they enter the ruins. Armstrong takes the lead as they enter the ruins. The ruins seems to be some type of warehouse and as they proceed they come to a second locked door that Katharina is able to open with a lock picking spell. As the search the ware house they find leaflets and are able to determine that the warehouse is a large commercial city that is like a mall. The building is a magic tool that has 20 floor and just like a magic bag it stops the items stored from degrading. Katharine is hoping that this discovery will help her restore her families peerage, but she is told since she is a woman it won't happen. Wend is worried that she will defect to the Urquhart Holy Empire, but she lets Wend know she has retainers and their families she must protect. As they prepare to leave the warehouse Wend stores some of the items is his magic bag so the Adventurers Guild can appraise the value and they secure the entrance before leaving.
