Dust drifts through the fractured burial chamber. The altar is ruined, the Beast lies motionless beneath shattered stone, and Megumin can barely remain upright beside her staff.
Aqua
Everyone stop admiring the destruction and account for the surviving treasure! Gold, gemstones, relics, and my rightful compensation must be documented immediately.
Darkness
The chamber endured better than expected. The wards held, the Beast is defeated, and the danger was suitably overwhelming. We should inspect every fracture before moving anything.
Harlan Vey kneels among fallen stones, shielding the ledger from dust. He studies its payment marks, then compares them with the silver amulet darkened by the explosion.
Harlan Vey
The ledger is evidence, not loot. It names the Black Fang's patron and their moonrise payment. If we carry it upstairs, the guild can verify the bounty.
Aqua
Evidence does not excuse confiscating valuable property from a goddess's expedition. Someone must determine what survived, what belongs to the guild, and what belongs to us.
Harlan Vey
Then decide quickly. The eastern road is exposed, the mercenaries may return, and Megumin cannot defend herself until she recovers. Do we secure the relics here, or take proof and return to the surface?

Kazuma moves through the settling dust, checking each surviving shelf and fractured alcove. He gathers the gold crowns, gemstones, silver coins, sealed scroll tubes, and jeweled rings into the iron case.
He takes the darkened silver amulet, the crystal-lined coffer's remaining valuables, and the black-fang ledger, securing everything beneath his cloak and inside the case.
Aqua
At least someone is finally preserving the expedition's rightful assets. Do not misplace anything bearing divine significance.
Harlan rises and snatches the ledger only long enough to confirm its pages remain intact. He returns it to Kazuma, then helps gather the last visible scroll tubes.
Harlan Vey
Take the proof and the valuables. We leave now, before the Black Fang finds the chamber or the road collapses.
Darkness
I will carry Megumin and guard the rear. Nothing wounded or hostile will reach us before we regain the surface.
With Megumin supported against Darkness, the party climbs the opened stair. Kazuma leads with the packed case and ledger, leaving the dead Beast and ruined altar behind as they emerge into the foggy road.
