“—What the hell is this?” [ET: Says ‘何だべーこりゃ？’]
And it’s not like I’m a native from north-west Japan.
By the time I jumped on the magic circle in-house …… I was completely fine.
That’s because the place I see in before, looks like a damn dungeon.
There is wall of stone and floor too along with torches like things on the walls. Though there are no windows present here. [ET: The mom is so great for making her son to start his journey through an adventure inside Dungeon.]
By the way, that magic circle can be used one-way only, so no way to return back. It’s not like I want to go back so it’s fine with me.
Anyway, it would be boring or rather damn silently boring if I don’t do a thing, so I decided to look around for understanding my situation.
Next, shadow training.
Punches, Kick, Flying Kick, Roundhouse Kick, Backhand Blow.
And with vigour tried to do a 3 turn flying kick, but gave up on it as I would collide with the ceiling otherwise.
So I checked my magic control.
Yea, I can use magic. Magic reload to hands and legs is also faster. No abnormalities.
Alright, Status Check Complete!
……So I’ve now run out of all things I could do.
Anyhow.
Now that I think about it, it ain’t normal to think about what to do inside an unknown dungeon.
Places like these, have some sort of purpose in them.
In that case, there is only 1 thing I need to do now.
If I want to do something else, and I want more information, and so it will be good to get out of here, right? Well then, now my next mission is to get out of this labyrinth like dungeon.
But,
After coming here, I met with a simple and serious problem and that stood in my way.
I don’t know what place this is and what sort of dungeon this is.
Before that, if this is dungeon is it filled with floors?
And it doesn’t has any windows, So I don’t know if I’m above ground or underground, and so I don’t fucking know if I should go down or up.
Hey mom, you there.
Ain’t this hurdle too high for you son who was departing for a journey.
Well, for the time being, let’s walk. I don’t know any route from the start, so there is no chance for me to get lost or so.
Yea, I’m serious.
(POV changed to???)
“What are you saying about? I am escorting a girl adventurer like you who has got no damn fighting power. This is much service is natural right?” [ET: Just what you can imagine.]
Ku, it was a failure!
No matter how much fast I needed to come here, I shouldn’t have taken a man like this with me!
I would’ve understood it before, if I was calm.
The rumour is about the ‘treasure rooms’ which were hidden before the strong earthquake from some days ago broke down the walls hiding them. In reality, many have already been discovered.
And even I felt uneasy doing so alone, so searched for a similar adventurer who seemed free, but looks like I failed in selecting the right person.
He didn’t show his true colours right after entering the dungeon. He can’t use magic, but can fight and has repelled many demons by now.
After moving a little more in dungeon and just the moment we came to a place with low monsters, this guy shows his true colours.
“Leave me you Pervert! To do it here, you sane!?”
I tried to push him aside, but he’s a man and to top it off he’s a robust well-trained adventurer. Even I am trained well, but the difference in power is obvious.
My clothes are made for moving easily, and due to that it has more exposure of skin than normal clothes. If one things of taking them off they can do so easily.
While I was looking in amazement, he tore off out garments and armour too now the only that is covering my upper body is under garments.
I found out cold sweat running down my cheeks.
“Sto-Stop it! He-Help me!”
I was also thinking the same within my mind.
This place is at the corner of the path in which even monsters rarely ever come. There’s no way a person who can save me will pass through……
……But, at that moment
“Now obediently Guboahh!!!”
—-Smack
“!?”
Suddenly the man sitting on top of me flies horizontally and crashes into the wall. It’s as if someone punched him flying away.
Eh, What? What happened just now!?
And then,
From my front, came an hysteric sort of voice.
“Noo!? It’s bad it hit someone!?”
…………Who is that man?
(POV changed to Minato)
In the beginning I was exploring the dungeon (?) by walking, but from the time I thought to try some skills, demons possessed me, ah damn it!
It’s a hassle to roam slowly, so I used magic to accelerate.
I gained a lot of pace and searched here and there while running, but know what, it’s kinda fun if you do it.
And then, that, Er, got elated and ran in full speed.
The basics of traffic rule. Stop at the corners for a moment and after confirming there’s no problem then move forward. If you don’t, in distant future it might turn into something bad.
I get even more elated and accelerate a bit more than my full speed. I sprinted at the speed of a vehicle and then when I thought ‘ah, crap, a corner’s coming, need to decelerate’……
But, after decelerating a bit, I tried to perform a daredevil’s stunt of making a sharp turn at good speed around corner and this is what happened
Ah, not so good sound
And the next moment, I sent someone who was at the blind spot of the corner grandly flying away.
And when I came to my senses a bit later I found that someone (It was shaved beard old man) sunk into the wall just like what I’ve seen in manga only. aaa, what a great pose it is! But I can’t laugh!
No you’re wrong! I never had the intention to kill him!
It’s just that while turning around the corner came a not so nice handsome old man and we clashed. It’s not at all an intentional murder! And this might be a character elimination, so sorry for that. [ET: Just can’t understand what it meant by last line in raws.]
and, just when I thought that.
“E-Erm……Excuse me?”
I timidly turn back, and there was a single girl.
Her face, has slightly sharp eyes, is HELLA pretty. Her face is full of vigor and what’s more she is wearing glasses.
……Nh? Breasts?
The down part is not like that, but the above part is only the under garments left, that if just dislocated a bit you can see a lot of things. [ET: Shangri-La]
And besides her, the clothes and armour are lying. It can be understood that she took them off just now.
Now then, what sort of situation is this?
Fumu……
Nice and handsome (?) middle-aged man……
Half-naked beautiful girl……
……’Kay, I got it to somewhat extent.
“Erm, I’m sorry for intruding……”
“Wait there!”
I tried to leave from there as if I saw nothing at all, but suddenly that beautiful girl stopped me. The girl stands up from her posture and bends forward while holding the nape of her neck.
“I know you have a lot to say, but you’re getting a wrong idea here!”
“That’s all the thing you’re getting the misunderstanding about! I was attacked! By this man!”
Ah, so that’s how it was?
So they didn’t have that sort of relationship, or some sort of agreement?
I think the way you’re giving me your gratitude is completely abnormal.
That girl looks toward the man who has sunk into the wall about 3 cm (He is twitching a bit so he is not dead!) with hateful gaze and returns her line of sight to me.
“Eh? Um, that, how should I say it……”
The girl looks at me with disgusted eyes.
Though she has thanked me, but she is still staying on her guard.
But, what should explain to her?
I came here by flying with the help of a magic circle, no, well it’s the truth but I doubt she will believe it.
Then, she herself speaks up
“Not something I can say, or rather, I don’t have anything to say”
“You a nomad or something? You got lost in this dungeon? …… well it’s alright.”
The girl quickly wears the clothes and armour while talking. And then checks the position of the dagger? like think hanging on her waist.
“What? Well, it’s getting out of here.”
“Eh, isn’t that alright?”
“Well, though this is the 1st floor, but it’s disheartening to roam around alone. I would love to go with someone else but this pervert is out of question.”
“Wha!? Wai, You, didn’t even check the route you came from!?”
“Even if you’re not an adventurer, but making a map when searching through the dungeon is the basic of basics!? If you don’t do it, then you can’t get out! Even if the level is low……”
“God, This is the first time I saw someone as optimistic as you? If you didn’t meet me, how would you have gone back home?”
If you can do it then do that to mom. No actually I will also help in it.
I seriously after so many years, couldn’t get what the hell is she thinking.
After completing her preparations, the girl said ‘come on let’s go’ and I in a panic followed her.
“It’s alright. I don’t have any obligation to save him. And his hand is standing up, so he will not die……And I don’t care even if he died (deadly stare)”
Well, what was about to occur to her, then her actions are normal.
Nh? Ah, Self-Intro is still not done. Due to all this rapid development I completely forgot about it.
Or rather, I’m already at my limit to call her ‘this girl’.
“Hmm……Unusual name it is. I’m Elk. Elk Caucus. Nice to meet you. ”
This was the meeting between me and the bespectacled girl……Elk.
