Fell in the Highest Difficulty Dungeon 33

Chapter 33 – District 1 (T2) (6)

8. Zone 1 (2 tracks) (6)

Roost.

In The Long Terror, this space, represented by a fire-shaped icon on top of firewood, was actually very heterogeneous.

All places in the dungeon, except for the resting place, are not allowed to rest because of the mentality that continues to degrade even if you stay still. You cannot recover your physical strength or mentality unless you are in combat. You should be able to recover little by little by forgetting food, but since it was a waste of food unless you ate when you were hungry, it was like turning your credit card back by robbing your savings. There was also an experience of cursing at me, saying how the resting place could not come out like this, as I had fought monsters up to 8 times in a row.

However, when taking a break in the resting place, an exceptional space that existed in such a beggar dungeon, the mentality was not damaged. Even physical strength and mentality were able to recover to some extent.

If so, you might naturally think that it would be good if there were many resting places, but if you play The Long Terror for a little bit, that thought comes into play.

Why?

If you stop at the resting place a lot, it means you fought less, and you won’t get much out of it.

Countless The Long Terror gamers have done the calculations of the most appropriate number of breaks in an area through experience and data.

No.2. Plus minus one.

As the number of resting places reached 0, the warriors would fall into fear of destruction, and as the number approached 9, there was a saying that they would fall into the swamp of deficit, a fact that had been verified countless times.

In that sense, the resting place that appeared in 1-4 could be said to be a very timely appearance now that both the body and mind are in disrepair…

“…”

“…”

Despite the warm campfire, the atmosphere was chilly.

– What, no, what did I say? What weird thing did you say? Please answer me. Honestly.

– … You cursed chief.

– I? What?

– That…

– Fuck real fucking fucking trembling, fucking bitches. Say

After entering the resting place, lighting a fire, and seeing the two of them not saying a word even though they came to a safe place, and even avoiding me, I couldn’t stand it and asked directly. And after hearing Kaya and Shay’s answers, the atmosphere no longer knows the end and is stuck…

The first time she saw Shay’s profile, she was concerned about her seizures, which she didn’t even sound funny. I thought she was only thinking about it, but she thought that things that popped out of her voice only came out in comics or novels. There was no shame in myself.

[Mentality]
Shay: -61
Kaya: -59
Eugene: -60

How do I get through this swamp?

The fact that I didn’t have to worry about my mentality during the break gave me a sense of psychological stability, but the problem wasn’t solved by that alone.

The rapidly rigid atmosphere of the warriors had to be thawed and greased somehow.

“Kaya. Shay. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. I mean, all you have to do is listen.”

Neither answered, but neither seemed to chew on my words.

“First of all, I want to say I’m sorry. No sorry Even though I told you guys not to be eaten by the fear flowing out of the dungeon, don’t be conscious, I almost got eaten first.”

Tadak- Tadadak-

The sound of sparks barely filled the silence. Hey, even if it’s not my swearing, if you look at each person’s mentality, they must be in a very difficult mental state. I was barely holding it in, but I made it suddenly because I was in a hurry.

“I was seriously thinking until just now whether I should be evasive or tell a white lie. But compared to being honest, I didn’t think it was right.”

It could have been better to pass it off as a white lie for now. The target of swearing was ‘the dungeon’, ‘this situation itself’, or the target of nightmares was ‘women’. It was easy to create a pile of negative emotions that way. But this place was inside the dungeon. There was no guarantee that this would not happen again in the future.

– Hehe. Sick old people. Did you believe that You useless bitches! That’s four years, four years!

… Because the possibility that I, who went crazy later, would say something like that was drawn.

And I wondered if I had to set a precedent like this beforehand so that they would be honest.

Anyway, after I honestly brushed off all the things in my head.

Kaya and Shay still didn’t speak.

Did I even get a shock? I couldn’t read the expression on my face. It was quite bitter.

‘I thought I was building a good relationship…’

[Relationship diagram]
Kaya: 4
Shay: 1

His relationship with Shay was also off. I wondered why my relationship with Kaya hadn’t gone down, but I was very concerned about Shay, just like before and now.

But it was kind of like talking. When she asked, she didn’t even seem to give an answer. What should I do? It was a very difficult problem for a roommate from Asa.

‘There’s no way there’s a genealogy or strategy for something like this… Let’s go to sleep.’

In The Long Terror, pressing the eat button restored a certain amount of stamina, and pressing the rest button automatically restored a certain amount of the warriors’ mentality, but this was not the case here. I had to do everything myself.

‘I’ll be able to recover to some extent after I sleep. I’d rather talk about it then.’

I went inside the pre-set tent. Good night greetings were never heard.

**

“… Sister.”

“Yes.”

After Hendrick went into his tent.

Shay, who was still warming up at the campfire, opened her mouth after a while.

“My sister… Are you okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“When I had a nightmare… When the captain changed drastically. I mean.”

“It was scary. I was afraid.”

“But how can you be so calm?”

“Isn’t that the same for Shay?”

“I am!”

Shay, who had raised her tantrum, looked towards the tent Hendrick had been in, and she sighed, hushing her voice again.

“I thought I was going crazy. It still is today.”

“Aren’t you calm after all?”

“This is just. Grace. Yes. It’s just been put on hold. Because Kaya-san stayed calm, because the captain changed like that before I did anything. Huh. It’s been delayed for a while. It is not resolved.”

“It will be fine.”

“Why?”

“Finally, the captain came to his senses.”

Shay felt a strange feeling for a moment. He was a half-elf who had joined this corps of warriors before him, and he was showing a blind attitude towards a man who was obviously much younger than himself. Even so, he wouldn’t even be a few days apart from himself, but why the hell? What’s with that guy?

“I do not understand. I, I… To be honest, the nightmare was also a nightmare, but the captain’s eyes were so scary. The moment I saw those eyes, I felt like I had committed a mortal sin, and I felt like I had to kneel down in front of him and ask for forgiveness right away, and even commit suicide as a means of atonement.”

“Suicide, don’t use that word. Shay.”

“That’s what they say! That’s how I felt! But why is my sister…”

“Because the captain is my benefactor. And it’s my destiny that’s why I believe Because in the end it came back to normal. So it’s okay.”

Shay choked her speechless. Kaya, who usually talks little and is on the slow side, had a great ripple effect with her prompt reply, which contained confidence. She may not be a great person that Kaya deliberately lies about, but even if she puts that aside, every short sentence she uttered seemed to contain an immutable truth.

Thanks to her, she was able to calm down a bit. It was only a little, but

“The captain must have felt the pressure of leading the corps of warriors. Those of us who follow the captain’s plan probably don’t know. If the hardships we both go through are 1, he thinks that the captain is going through 1.5 to 2. When I think about it, the captain’s actions somehow make sense, and it’s unfortunate that there’s nothing I can do about it.”

“…”

“Besides, although we are still at a low level, aren’t we each following the goddess? Compared to those of us who have walked an unshakable path for a long time with great beings as milestones, the captain is not like that. He might be a little more swayed by fear, a little more tainted. That’s why I think Shay should support the captain well.”

Kaya took her compressed wood from her backpack and tossed it into her campfire. The bonfire, which had faded little by little, came to life again.

“My sister… It is strong.”

Kaya shook her head. She had a bitter smile on her face.

“I remember the first time I entered a dungeon. After all, it hasn’t been that long… Then I almost had a mental breakdown in the second room.”

“To.”

“It’s an embarrassing thing to say to Raella, but at that moment, the captain was my light. I only followed the captain.”

Kaya, who describes the goddess she worships as ‘light’ to another person, even a mere mortal. Shay’s mouth fell open in a daze.

“As a result, I was brought back to life where I thought I would die, I came to know my destiny, and I was able to cherish and believe in my true self. Also, I met Shay.”

“Unni, what the hell.”

“I am delighted. To follow the will of the captain and walk behind him. To find my true self, to share my true destiny, to meet my true comrades, and to fulfill my true mission. All kinds of trials will hinder us along the way. I believe that the captain will complete the course without giving up. Even if I am insecure, I believe in the captain who believes in me. So, even if it’s scary, scary, and difficult… It’s okay.”

“… IM jealous.”

“I am really envious of Shay.”

“Yes?”

“Almighty. If I had to describe Shay in one word, I think it’s all-around. Appearance, ability, personality, faithfulness. None of them are missing… I envy her because she seems like a woman that men can’t help but like.”

“No way. What almighty am I? My sister is more amazing. You have already followed God, loved yourself, and found your destiny. And it seems like we’re already in a big and deep relationship… No?”

“I am…”

Kaya slurred her words. Her face was quite red, but I couldn’t tell if it was because of the topic or because she had been close to her campfire for quite some time.

“The most enviable thing is that Shay’s race is human.”

“Yes? Why do you envy me for being human? It’s not that I don’t like or dislike me because I’m a human, but it’s a species that doesn’t live long and doesn’t stay young for long.”

“As you know, I am a half-elf, Shay.”

“Yes? But why?”

“Half-elves are congenitally infertile.”

“… Yes?”

At Kaya’s words, which suddenly revealed the flaws of her race, Shay involuntarily made a strange sound.

“Although the beginning of the captain and the beginning of mine coincidentally overlapped, it is my own greed to go deeper than this. I have seen countless times that a barren woman becomes a seed of discord if she is around long enough.”

“Hey, are you there? Sister?”

“Besides, neither the captain nor I, even now, do not know when or where our lives will end. So even more, I don’t want to be tied down by a flawed woman like me.”

“A flawed woman, what are you talking about!”

“Shay.”

“Sister!”

Shay huffed and jumped from her seat. Is it because of the topic? The negative atmosphere that enveloped Shay a moment ago had disappeared considerably.

Does Shay know? That Kaya cleverly changed the topic.

In contrast to Shay, Kaya, who was always calm, said while holding Shay’s hands.

“The captain has been caring about Shay ever since what happened in the room with the box. Just like Shay cares about the captain. So, Shay.”

Kaya smiled lightly.

“After tonight, my feelings will dissipate considerably. Before that, have an in-depth, one-on-one conversation with your boss. Exchange your feelings with each other, and resolve any misunderstandings.”

That way, you’ll be able to trust the captain even more.

Kaya swallowed her last words and led Shay to Hendrick’s tent.
