Chapter 94 – Careful Preparation (1)
14. Careful Preparation (1)
“… Are you going to keep doing that?”
A day has passed since the day I almost fell into Raella-sama’s arms. I recovered well, considering that I lost consciousness due to suffocation, and I tried to accept it calmly, thinking that yesterday’s incident was just something I had brought on myself.
But now, on the contrary, Kaya and Shay were overcome with tremendous guilt. Especially Shay’s guilt was no joke.
She almost suffocated me, and that almost killed me because she couldn’t breathe with her pussy, so she was so shocked that she couldn’t sleep or eat and kept kneeling down on me. Kaya, who wasn’t even that far, was copying Shay as well.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“Sorry. I am really sorry.”
Aigoo. In other words, my head hurt.
It was fortunate that the terrifying appearance was gone, but even this was not particularly nice to see.
“Kaya, Shay.”
“Sorry. Captain.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“I feel like I’m going to lose my mind, so stop saying you’re sorry!!!”
Hig.
After a moment of admiring their beauty, like foul play, which dried up their tears and messy hair, they still looked pretty, then gave a strong command to them.
“Now stand up.”
“…”
“Are you going to keep doing this? Too much. This makes each other more uncomfortable. Do you really want to You can’t talk, you can’t cross your arms, you can’t hug, you can’t kiss…”
“Ouch!”
Kaya and Shay, who were about to get up in a hurry, fell forward with a crackling sound. He had been on his knees for so long that his lower body was temporarily paralyzed due to lack of blood flow.
“Ugh… Really, what are you and me like? .”
“I have no face…”
No matter how much the story is told, the captain teased his dick, and after experiencing all sorts of horrors, he almost got suffocated. Have…
It was a skit that made others laugh when they heard it, telling them to sing phrases in moderation.
“Both of you, come here and lie down. I’ll massage your leg.”
“Okay, it’s okay. This much will get better soon.”
“Don’t make them order one by one. It’s because I’m sorry.”
“…”
“Hurry.”
So this morning went by in an instant as I massaged their legs and calmed their gurgling stomachs. It was a bonus that the whole day was deleted because I was taking care of the girls who had lost their mentality even though it wasn’t even a dungeon.
Did you eat cheaply in one day?

All of us, who were level 4 before entering the dungeon, were level 5. I didn’t get that much experience for the level of difficulty I felt, but considering the decrease in experience in dungeons and the existence of a level 9 healing nun, I accepted the level up itself.
What mattered, as always, was the character.
It hurt just as badly as Shay’s pussy press.
“A firm belief and a wavering belief… What are all these cases?”
It was not impossible to have opposite characteristics. For example, it meant that diligence and laziness could be attached at the same time. But that was rare. In most cases, one side was pushed and erased. Most of those conflicting features had similar effects. It meant that only plus and minus changes. However, Kaya’s characteristics were not like that. Effect was different. There was a * mark on it. This meant a special feature, or a fixed feature that would never be deleted.
‘My first feature, Wanderer, was marked with an *, but that’s probably because I’m from another world…’
I was confused as to how this happened. It wasn’t entirely unpredictable.
‘Things that happened in the dungeon must have had a big impact.’
Not even in a dungeon, but in a hidden space on the ground, fear bastards openly trying to descend, as well as the corruption of a large number of priests and the tragedy of Bestia… It must be a different feeling from the priest’s point of view. I overcame it in the end, but it’s not strange at all, even if the feeling of discomfort remains.
Another troublesome thing is…
‘Sadism… Oh my god. Shayya, maybe I like you?’
Maybe Shay opened her eyes to an area where she shouldn’t have opened them. She also had the nice trait of being a punisher, but she didn’t catch my eye at all.
‘It wouldn’t have been necessary to have such a Cestia-like trait.’
I took my eyes off the profile. Characteristics are important, but what’s in front of you right now is several times more important.
“Let’s see… HAT warrior squad? Is that correct?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“This is a formal confirmation procedure, so I will check it again in detail. Please check the documents one by one and then sign them.
Bounty Hunter Hendrik
Battle Vestal Kaya Epentzel
Crusader Champion Paladin Shae de Aurelye
Is that correct?”
That’s Shay’s full name. She seemed to want to hide it, so she didn’t ask, but she inadvertently gave it up. Her face stiffened slightly when her full name suddenly popped up, but she didn’t bother denying it. That would mean right
‘I vaguely thought she had a classy appearance, but wasn’t she really from an aristocratic family?’
An aristocratic lady who fell into hell because of heresy. She only knew her origins by her full name, but it feels like a few more spoonfuls of msg were added to the story she must have been through. She was curious, but she didn’t show it. She thought that someday the time would come to speak for herself.
“The signing has been completed, and everything has been confirmed. Under the guarantee of Lady Cestia, the guide of the Road of Tolerance of the Salem Branch of Raella, the Order of the Goddess of Mercy and Forbearance, all of you equipment can be raised two levels here.”
The first reward offered by Cestia.
“Here, here it is.”
“I’m a little behind schedule, so please come back in a week and present this token.”
“All right.”
It was an equipment upgrade.
I cherished the small piece of paper that the staff at the equipment support center gave me. I already felt empty because I had to live without weapons and armor for a week, but it was only a week. Even if it was not a week, but two weeks, I could have waited calmly. Just as I leveled up after clearing District 1, I naturally danced on my shoulders with the anticipation that my specs would be upgraded once again.
‘Hehe, how many gold coins is this!’
Of course, after upgrading with the money we had, we thought about using Cestia’s guarantee, but the staff said ‘Guarantor’s guarantee is two levels from the current level’, so we licked our lips. Still, wouldn’t it be worth 200 gold coins if I roughly calculated it now? The anticipation grew even bigger that this was not the end. Kaya and Shay were excited, though not as much as I was.
“Leader.”
“Uh?”
“Equipment will be raised to a certain level with this, our level has also risen one step higher, and the warriors’ funds have become a little more generous. Now, what is the fourth hero going to do?”
“I see. I wonder what kind of hero will come in.”
Fourth warrior.
On the way from the equipment support center to the warrior training center, I fell into thought for a moment about the topic that Kaya brought up.
Even before entering the dungeon, he searched for it, but useful talent, no, great talent, of course, did not roll around so easily. Is that all? I don’t know when I was alone at first and recruited Kaya on my own, but now there are three of us. The remaining one seat had no choice but to be restricted because of our union.
It was a class with excellent utility capable of long-distance attacks from the rear.
In a situation where Kaya and Shay are virtually fixed in rows 1 and 2, and I am almost fixed in row 3 if row 4 comes in, the class that can perform my best in row 4 drops to less than half of the 16 classes including the dlc class. Lost.
‘Treasure hunter, crossbowman, witch doctor, healing nun, bard.’
There were 5 of them that could play an active role in the main position in the 4th row.
‘Assassin.’
Although not the main position level, an assassin who could play an active role in the 4th row could not be ruled out at all. I don’t think I’ll be able to use it because there’s not enough utilities for our party right now.
‘Werewolves, dungeon merchants, reinforced humans.’
Since there is no specific information there, even the dlc additional classes that have been nominated for the time being. Judging by the name alone, it would be appropriate for a werewolf or a fortified person to stand in the front line, but it was forbidden to make hasty assumptions.
“Anyway, it takes a week to get the equipment back. It’s not long enough, but I don’t think it’s a very short time either.”
“You’re right.”
“And you are the fourth hero of our warrior squad. There’s no rule that says you have to recruit only me. If you guys think there are good warriors, I’ll bring them.”
“Me too?”
“Okay! Oh, let’s make a rule at this point. The fourth hero can join the corps of warriors when the three of us agree unanimously.”
“Leader. If you care about what we say.”
“No, that’s really my opinion. Of all the people in Salem who wear the title of hero, how many people do you think have truly set the goal of clearing the dungeon itself? Hardly any? So Shay, you wanted to join me too.”
“That’s right. The same goes for warriors from the Order. It’s just about ‘getting to know’ the dungeon. Because it’s dangerous Also, they think that the dungeon itself is impossible to conquer.”
“In the first place, Salem’s unusual prosperity is purely because of the gold coins that come out of the dungeon.”
So my co-workers were outliers. No one said retreat. Even if I said it in my mouth, I would not have been able to roll and suffer and retreat in the highest difficulty dungeon because of my restrictions, but it was a different story to have an attitude of not retreating from the beginning doing what I wanted to do but not doing. They didn’t let go of their weapons until right before they died. Looking back, I did not yearn for retreat.
Why?
Because gold was not their primary purpose. The driving forces of the two were different, but they had a common desire to break heresy and break through the dungeon.
Like me.
“That’s right. So, in order to be with us, at least we have to cross the passing line.”
They both agreed with me. However, Kaya’s face, which had been nodding his head, became slightly sullen. Others would have wondered if there had been a change in expression, but I and Shay, who shared joys and sorrows, recognized it right away.
“Sister, why are you suddenly like this?”
“That is…”
Kaya mumbled.
“I am… Except for the two of you and Cestia-sama, I don’t know anyone…”
“Ha, not even one? Not even one?”
Nod…
Ah…
Shit. I totally sympathize.
