The new dungeon knights party with Serena (who Evan was still planning to return somehow, although, everyone else had given up) entered the dungeon . Despite the fact that the princess heading into the dungeon was practically a national emergency, the Marquis had been very calm . Rather, he wasn’t worried at all! Due to the events of the past few years, there was a widespread view that if Evan were there, it would work out somehow . And, unfortunately, that perception was largely correct .
“Hi, Belois . ” Only eight children were left in the dungeon knight HQ . Arisha came to check on Belois, who felt nervous since she couldn’t go with Evan . On her waist was the rapier that Evan had given her as a birthday present; it hadn’t been separated from her since she got it .
“…Yes, hello . ” Belois, who was practicing with the lamp alone in her room, greeted her with an expressionless face but with slight irritation in her voice . Belois didn’t like Arisha very much and had no intention of hiding it .
“Is there any reason for my lady to visit me? I am in training . ”
“I know you hate me . Actually, I don’t like you either . ” Belois stared at Arisha, who had arrived out of nowhere to argue . Could she be trying to fight for rank while Evan was gone? Or was she eliminating competitors? Either way, she was ready to accept anything . Belois energized her hand that held the lamp, but Arisha waved her off .
“I came because the two of us have something to discuss . ”
“…Is that so . Please keep it short . ”
“She… don’t you think she’s a bit dangerous?”
“…” She had arrived at the point faster than Belois had expected . The reason why Belois was irritated right now was, in part, due to ‘that woman . ’
“I think so too…please sit down . ” Belois let out a sigh and raised a hand . The chair opposite from the table moved back for Arisha to take a seat . Telekinesis was a basic type of magic, but it required a delicate sense of control to use properly . Arisha silently admired her as she sat down and let out a kindred sigh .
“Serena L . Silkline… it’s the first time I’ve seen anyone narrow the distance with Evan so quickly . ”
“I thought so too . ” Belois responded coldly, recalling the memory of when Arisha joined the dungeon knights .
“I’ve been reflecting on it, but if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have had a chance of joining . So, I’d like you to see my side a little . Besides, that woman is different from me . ”
“That’s…yes, but . ” Belois and Arisha were both reluctant to reveal their inner selves to Evan, who had always felt fearful of the opposite sex . They were afraid of being rejected . Besides, they were all still young . They didn’t need to be hasty, but rather they could slowly and surely narrow that distance with Evan .
“But she has a different way of thinking than us . If she wanted to kiss, she would just to do it . Why would she bother looking at the other person’s feelings?”
“That way of life is criminal . ” It was probably because she had been born with the status of a princess that she had such a dangerous approach . At first glance, she might seem clumsy, but she had already perfected how to use her identity and position cunningly .
“‘The maid Maybell is similar, but this one is more explicit and has her status to take advantage of . ”
“Does this mean you can’t deal with her?”
“Yes…and Evan weirdly stepped back from her . ” He was strict with those who approached him…except for Serena .
“I sometimes feel like there is compassion in his eyes when he deals with her . ”
“I felt charity… Evan must feel something about her future . He isn’t able to treat her harshly . ”
“And she knows it too . ”
“Yes, she couldn’t miss it . ” Their reasoning was sharp . In fact, Evan’s inability to resolutely defeat Serena’s advance was influenced by regret and sympathy for her .
“Rather than hesitating, she’s using it to cling to him…cheeky . I can’t tolerate
“We agree on that part . ” Belois stood up . When Arisha reached out, Belois took her hand and held it as the two exchanged a cold glance .
“It’s an alliance . ”
“Temporary . ”
“Sure . I have no intention of surrendering Evan to anyone . ”
“Then, let’s come up with specific measures from now on . ”

Thus, the two formed an alliance to keep one another in check . It would need time to see if it would work, but now, Evan should be very afraid .
A few days passed, specifically five since they entered the dungeon, and the dungeon knight party led by Evan successfully defeated the 10th floor . It was a new record .
“I’ve been used to it since I’ve been teaching . ”
“Then, had you expected this outcome?” It was clear Evan’s guiding skills had grown immensely; otherwise, it would’ve been impossible to conquer the 10th floor in merely five days . Even the hidden bosses on the 5th and 10th floors had been defeated .
“Wow, he’s reliable, isn’t he?”
“I was amazed by that monster that shot out sparks! Didn’t you block it with a dirt wall, Paul? Good job!”
“Everyone fought well . ” Evan examined the corpse of the Chimera as the children applauded each other for the battle . Serena stood there as well with three slimes on her shoulders and head, making an odd expression .
“No matter how much I think about it, the princess is too strong . ”
“It’s the master who made her that way . She could go around the dungeon alone . ” The children who had trained themselves accordingly were also strong, but Serena had definitely stood out the most .
“To be honest, I was surprised . It’s no wonder she defeated the knights . ”
“She didn’t look like a princess at all . ” Right now, Evan was a little hesitant to send the children down to the 11th floor, but he wasn’t about Serena . She would be able to handle up to the 20th floor, even if she were alone . Perhaps she could even take on the hidden boss while she was at it .
“Since slimes have different properties, most enemies can be attacked according to their weaknesses . ”
“It’s not just that . The lightning one is still weak since it was just born, but the fire and ice slimes have high defense and attack power . ”
“The princess’s tamer skill is too strong . It nearly doubled their abilities . ”

“Oh, Her Majesty’s judgment and instructions were amazing . She looks somewhat lacking, but I think her intelligence is really good!”
“As her unique skill grew, it seemed to have a positive effect on her physical abilities . If she practices the proper self-defense, she should be able to protect herself . ” As Evan and Shine chatted, Evan kept looking for a weakness he couldn’t find . There was a ridiculous difference from the princess’s abilities in the original game .
[Myooh!]
[Myahh!)
[Myooeh!]
“Everyone did a good job . ” Evan grimaced as he watched Serena patted the three slimes frolicking around her . When he first met the princess, he didn’t know she had such a talent . However, her own effort and tricks, as well as a special pet known as an elite slime, had combined to create such amazing results .
‘Perhaps the demons targeted her because of that talent . . ? No, but this is a great result . My own aptitude with monster taming is too low…’ He hoped that he had alleviated some of the weight of the destiny that awaited her . He now realized how dangerous the game’s skill guide was when applied to reality .
“…From now on, I really shouldn’t be teaching anyone how to train . I should only teach those who I’m sure of . ”
“But the princess is not just anyone, master, since she is now an important member of the knights . ”
“Huh…!” It was something that couldn’t be refuted any longer . Evan was convinced that a princess who didn’t know of the world wouldn’t be able to survive in such a filthy and dangerous environment, but she had remained strong . She wasn’t behind in combat power, adaptability, or situational judgment . If he tried to boot her out now, the dungeon knights wouldn’t last
long .
“Have I passed?”
“Ah…” Serena, perhaps overhearing their conversation, arrived at their side with a bright smile for Evan . It was a really nasty expression as she already knew the answer .
“Huh? Huh? Did I pass?”
“Wow . ” She was so gorgeous that it made him a little dizzy when they faced each other so closely . Evan tried to step back, but she merely stepped forward .

“…Yes, a promise is a promise . ”
“Hurray! I love you so much!” In the end, he sighed and told Serena the answer she wanted to hear . Her cheers subsided a moment later, however, as she seemed anxious .
“But the knights are just forming . It’s difficult to expect special treatment . ” It was what she was afraid of .
“But I’ve been doing a lot of research! If the knights achieve a lot, their rank will gradually increase, right?”
“…It won’t work as you think . And if His Majesty asks you to come back, we can’t protect you . We cannot fight against the royal family . ”
“It’s okay, I’ll fix it all!” Despite Evan’s somewhat chilly tone, Serena seemed unfazed .
“Alright, remember to be obedient to the commander . Keep in mind that you’re now a member of the knights who protect the dungeon city . You’re no longer a princess, but a knight . Okay? If you break that rule, you can’t join us . ”
“Yes . I came because I wanted to, and also because I wanted to protect what Evan wants to protect!”
“…” Serena replied with her eyes blazing . There seemed to be no deceit in her heart; rather, her mindset could be said to be rather good . That will that came from her longing was more steadfast than anything .
“Then, let’s go back! I should greet the other friends properly . ”
“They probably won’t like you very much . ”
“It’s okay because I like them . ”
“…You really live as you want . ” Evan sighed as Serena hung off his arm . First of all, he would have to take measures to prevent the attack on the princess that happened in Yo-ma Great War 4 .
Well, at this rate, he might need to worry more about the demons than her .
