So fun scanlation fact: (At the time of the chapter being posted,) Reset Scans didn't include pages 4 to 9 (the six silent pages after the first double-pager) on their site.

So clever at noticing the signs of a very intelligent trap, not clever enough to notice that something intelligent laid that trap.

Perhaps you should vacate the area ASAP instead of analysing it. I would've turned around at "someone is using monster-attracting scent deep inside 2nd floor". Go back to the guild and report that.

They thought the trap was the body, not the whole area. What an amateur adventurers, a good saboteurs always put more than two traps for a single location
Nah, the Body was the Lure, they didn't notice they where already close enough for the Trap to spring. A well done Trap makes sure that if you notice it's a Trap it's already too late and I expect Vampires are probably reeeally good at laying traps. As we saw the actual entrance was the trap so that the noticed so early is the reason at least two got out. Still, they should have bailed the moment they noticed the scent so still foolish.

Fun side note: For some reason when I read the mention of Vampires hiding in the City my first thought was they probably capture Lina and force our MC to save her. I admit I didn't expect to be right.

:EDIT: Actually scratch part of this. The other two didn't fall but I didn't see the shadows behind them on the last page.

Exactly, the moment you found the fragrance you should have went back to report the oddity. That is what I would have done too

But even if we ignore it, the moment she realized it's a trap she should have told them to run. Not having a discussion in an eco chamber.

But then again it is weird they sent that group to do the investigation. Author probably did it cause the characters are those we know, but otherwise they have 0 scouts and their party isn't strong enough to beat a vampire either. It is like sending sheep to track wolves

They where investigating the missing person case and the Vampire thing came up "after" they already left as seen in the beginning of the chapter so they had no idea they would face Vampires. As a group they where plenty strong enough to handle that Labyrinth, just not a Vampire.

They were investigating missing person case because it maybe related to the vampires. They didn't know about the group but even 1 vampire would probably beat them

And again, they have 0 scouts. You know people specialized at tracking others.

No surprise, they dumped it on the Adventurers. Those usually have a different kind of skillsets and in that one they where also decent since they correctly identified the body as a trap on range. Hell the Boy might actually be a scout considering it was him that did. And I checked again to be sure and by their hefty reaction in the beginning they did not expect to encounter Vampires in the labyrinth. In fact once they knew they where told to recall them (too late). This really seems to have been a simple "missing person" search going by context.
If this would be someone's mistake then probably the Adventurer's Guild by failing to put 1 and 1 together but a reminder that even the Vampire specialist took a long time to figure the possible lair out and even then it was 1 of 3.
