Fell in the Highest Difficulty Dungeon 112

Chapter 112 – Mindset (5)

15. Mindset (5)

“No, what the hell is this? Uh? Who is this. Who did this!”

“Lol… Master.”

“I, I did.”

“Huh…”

“…”

After a long time, I was laying down and resting in bed, and around dinner time, some beggars came into the room. No, to be precise, it was Kaya, a beggar, and a living corpse who were relatively intact.

It’s normal for Shay to have bruises all over her body, and the fact that her legs are limping makes her muscles and bones look like they’ve been damaged, and Illumina… She was such a mess that I would have mistaken her for dead if it wasn’t for her drooling.

“Until this…”

“I’m sorry, chief. Because it is a necessary process. It’s also a position where I’m learning by shoveling, and my teacher is originally a monster-like person. Lol.”

“Sorry. Leader. Illumina’s will was so firm, she aimed for the least injured area as much as possible…”

“I don’t mean to say anything, but no. Lie down once each patient. Me and Kaya let’s pitch a tent on the floor and sleep.”

“Gwa, it’s okay!”

“It didn’t end with today, did it? Do you have to go tomorrow too? I will have to go the day after tomorrow.”

“Yes…”

“Then you should sleep comfortably. And Shay, even if you say it’s okay, Illumina seems to have completely tasted it, so you should be considerate of Illumina as well.”

“Ah.”

Kaya took Illumina and went into her bathroom first. Kaya carefully laid the grunting Illumina on the bed inside. Her red hair, down to her waist, was spread like silk on her bedspread, and the skin and tail that her gown couldn’t cover were very suggestive, but… Bloody bruises that appeared here and there covered everything. I went into the bathroom with Shay as Kaya took her ointment out of her drawer.

“Captain, I can wash myself.”

“Uh huh. She can’t even move her arms properly. Her leg is also badly lame.”

“Yeah, but… I am very shy.”

“I’m sorry and thankful to Shay, so I want to wash it myself… No? I can’t help it if I don’t like it.”

“Ah.”

Shay became restless as she pretended to be sorry for her and blurted out her words. As I tried to leave her real bathroom again, she grabbed me by the sleeve.

“I don’t like it, I don’t… I don’t hate it, boss.”

“Okay?”

“It’s so bright, it’s not enough to show my body, so even washing me… I did it because I was very shy.”

“Mmm.”

It could be. Shame was a separate issue from her body being full of scars.

“Then I can take it all off. Right?”

“Yes?”

“Then you wouldn’t be ashamed. Right.”

“Wait, boss!”

She was already wearing only one thin layer of clothing, so it was an instant to undress. Shay covered her face with her hand, but her fingers were all apart. Her eyes met. Her eyes were on my lower half. Her startled look raised her gaze, but… You’ve already been caught, Shay.

I approached her hardened and carefully removed her clothes, layer by layer. Soon, her solid yet pitiful naked body was revealed.

‘Never, never make a sad face.’

I calmly turned on the water and checked the water temperature. It was still warm, probably because Kaya and Illumina used it a while ago. I adjusted the water pressure and sprayed it on Shay’s back.

“Yes.”

“Is the temperature right?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Tell me right away if it’s hot or cold?”

“Yes.”

Shay let out a small groan as the hot water soaked every part of her body. A hot shower after a hard workout seemed to relax her body.

Gathering her hair down to her wing bones and tucking it in front of her neck. There were also dark red bruises on the part of her that was covered by her hair.

“What skill are you trying to learn while doing this, Shay?”

“Um, after learning everything, I want to do it for fun later… Can’t we?”

“There’s nothing I can’t do, but I’m worried. I’m sure you’re learning something that will help us. I know that… Prepare carefully now, but I hope you don’t overdo it.”

“Worry… HeheAlas!”

“Don’t laugh like an idiot.”

“Ah, aww!”

“Be patient. You should wash it properly.”

I put foam on my back. Every time the fabric touched it made a sound of pain. I didn’t know she was pretending to be okay, but looking at it like this, she might be in a more serious situation than Illumina.

Swish Swish-

For a while, the sound of scrubbing cloths filled the bathroom. The sweat on her body would soon be washed clean, but the numerous bruises and scars would not. That was so sad

“Here, chief.”

“Uh?”

“I want to ask you something.”

“Ask any number.”

Meticulously rubbing her Achilles tendon and even her heels, I grabbed Shay’s arm and slowly turned it around. She met her eyes with hers.

“Captain. What I said, do you remember? My goal.”

“Of course. How could I forget that.”

How could I forget the words of wanting to destroy the dungeon?

“What if. Really if.”

“Okay.”

“My goal has changed… For example, what would it be like if the goal changed to living in a good way with the boss while earning a decent amount of money? Aww!”

“Oh sorry.”

“Okay, it’s okay. Lol.”

Oh, is there such a thing as a coincidence?

Didn’t I have a thought like that for a while in an indungeon a while ago? I folded it right away, but I didn’t expect Shay to say such a thing.

Considering Shay when we first met, it was an unimaginable remark.

“Wow, are you mad? It’s not really like that, it’s what if!”

“Angry. I’ve thought about that too. Then I wanted to know how happy and good it would be.”

“… Really?”

“Okay. Would I want to buy and do something crazy like this?”

“Then.”

“But it closed right away.”

“Why… ?”

That’s because I have to ‘Clear’… Should I say this?

Her chest was tight.

If you don’t clear it, you die. Why? There’s an unidentified bad guy who dropped me here. Drop it? Who is that? Just talk! I’ll catch you! You know the boss too, don’t you? I’m good at tracking! No, something like that…

I imagined the conversation that would come and go.

‘Really… It’s difficult and annoying every time to have to make up the words to suit the circumstances.’

She has gathered up to the 4th member and has become somewhat close with Illumina, so wouldn’t it be okay for her to be honest about everything?

There were times she wanted to reveal it to Kaya and Shay as well. About the origin of her name, ‘Eugene’, the only thing Kaya knew about, and how she was unusually knowledgeable compared to her and Shay, even though her career as a hero was identical to Kaya’s. Compared to the vast majority of people in this world who believe in and follow one god, I wonder if they are paying attention even though I openly pray to two gods (though this is just a guess)…

If the reason why I am trying to clear the dungeon is for my survival, no noble mission or anything else, how will my colleagues react?

Before that, did Illumina become close enough to tell this story? It wasn’t just looking at the relationship.

Imagining how his colleagues would react, he hesitated, citing various reasons himself.

“It’s a goal. You and my goals. I will break through the dungeon to the end and get rid of it. I haven’t achieved it yet, so I can’t give up on my own, can I?”

So, in the end, she had no choice but to answer like this.

“… Is that so?”

“That’s it.”

“As expected, the captain is the captain.”

“What are you talking about?”

“That sounds good. Lol.”

Shay stared at her body for a moment, then she gently hugged me.

“Shay?”

“What a relief.”

“Shay.”

“Because the captain is here. Because the captain is my captain.”

Her chest crushed against her bare skin. Soft bubbles and warm water brought us closer.

“With the captain, I can never give up.”

“Huh.”

“With the captain, I can take down the attacks of the monsters.”

“Okay.”

“Because the captain is still the captain… I can entrust my wishes, I can entrust my destiny, I can entrust my life.”

“…”

“Captain.”

“Uh.”

“I hope the captain is safe. Oh, and of course Kaya and Illumina. So she is learning hard. Definitely, I will definitely protect it. Let no one die.”

Even if

Even if my goal is not achieved.

I was about to ask what Shay was muttering, but her mouth was blocked by her kiss. A faint iron taste came from her lips.

Somehow, hearing her words made it all the more difficult for her to confess.

**

It’s night.

Illumina said she was barely conscious from the time she came to the inn, and after Shay had a shower and dinner, she collapsed right away. Kaya and I set up an upgraded tent in her corner, one layer, no.

“Hey, it’s worth the money. Much wider and stronger.”

“My back seems to hurt less.”

“Surely.”

The previous tent was almost full when two people lay down, but now it seems that four people can sleep together. It was well twice as wide, but me and Kaya were stuck together. No one said She was very natural.

He took Kaya’s hand. She flinched just for a second, then she too took my hand in hers. For a moment she listened to her quiet breathing and felt her hands, soft and callused all over.

“Kaya.”

“Yes. Leader.”

“Kaya.”

“Yes.”

“Kaya.”

“… Eugene?”

I turned around and hugged Kaya. She felt her mind and body calm as she smelled her subtle body scent. Caught snugly in her arms, she looked up at me, then stretched out her arms and began to pat her on my back without saying a word.

Pat- pat- pat- pat-

I liked the way her hand patted my back with her steady beat, so I inadvertently hugged her tighter.

“Are there any unspeakable worries, Eugene?”

“It’s an unspeakable worry.”

“You may or may not confide. If it’s a secret, we’ll keep it, if not…”

“Otherwise?”

Instead of answering, Kaya lightly bit my neck. I laughed at her blunt aegyo.

“It is half true that it is an unspeakable concern. I’m contemplating what to say or not to say.”

“What is the reason for your concern?”

“Um… I think it’s ultimately right to talk, but I’m afraid of your reaction. Does that sound like a coward?”

“Why are you afraid?”

“I’m afraid the current relationship will be shaken.”

“What kind of information is such shocking information that it shakes our relationship?”

“I think that is highly likely.”

“I don’t think our relationship is that weak, Eugene…”

Kaya bit again as if dissatisfied with my words. It was cute and lewd to comfort her with her lips and her tongue, as if she was sorry for biting.

“What great sin have you committed?”

“No.”

“Did you make a big mistake, if not a sin?”

“Not even that.”

“Then there won’t be any more shaking between us.”

If it’s Kaya.

If she were to say that her own destiny is her own destiny, wouldn’t she accept it as she is?

It was about to pop out of her mouth. But at that moment, the conversation she had with Shay in her bathroom, her mindset, came to mind.

Wouldn’t it be a real coward to guess the reaction of the girls and secretly tell it only to Kaya? Even Illumina, who has just joined, is working hard like that.

“Thank you, Kaya.”

“Yes?”

“Thanks to you, I can decide.”

“Ah… Is that so.”

“I will tell you. However, not now, but later. I will tell everyone.”

“Fortunately, the. I think Eugene’s worries have been resolved a little bit.”

“Thank you, so.”

Side- Jjook- Jjoohok-

“To do this.”

“Yu, Eugene.”

“No?”

Kaya, like Kaya, she swallowed my lips instead of answering.

Kaya… Have you ever been very hungry?
