Fell in the Highest Difficulty Dungeon 25

Chapter 25 – Between Heresy and Forbidden (6)

7. Between Heresy and Forbidden (6)

[The speed of the Altar Guardian Knight and Kaya are the same.]

[Speed ​​roll]

“Ah.”

It wasn’t until the speed roll message appeared that some sanity returned. Of course, that slightly returned reason couldn’t control the current situation.

It’s just that I realized that the reflection attack that was poured out on Shay earlier happened during ‘Shay’s turn’… I just realized that knowing that is useless.

Altar Guardian Knight: 4
Kaya: 4

Thankfully, the roll was a draw like Shay did earlier. It was nerve-wracking to have the roll roll over again, but it was still much better to roll over than to lose right away.

[The altar’s guardian knight’s turn precedes Kaya’s turn.]

“Why!!! Why, this time!!!”

Even in the midst of this, I hated myself for analyzing the reason with my head. At most, it’s because of something resembling intimidation, or because of that repulsive shape. However, even after knowing that, the stolen turn did not come back.

“Even if I die, you guys will pay the price.”

The monster’s blazing blade pointed at Shay.

“It will hit.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to Shay.

I couldn’t even close my eyes or scream.

I just blankly stared at the blade.

Like this, it really goes like this.

Really, this is how Shay dies?

Kaya. Crying in a mess You have a lot of veins on your neck. Okay. You won’t even move I know, but it’s embarrassing. Ah. Me too?

I know.

Her eyes feel like they’re about to burst, and her whole body feels like it’s going to tear. Your neck must already be resting a lot.

[Blade of Revenge]

Even though Shay didn’t officially join the hero’s squad, she still fought alongside her. It was a short time, but I was glad that Kaya would have another friend besides me. His outbursts of verbal abuse were frightening, but he was trustworthy when fighting.

No. Can’t die whoever you want I can’t let you go like this

No way.

Do you think you will send it like this? You are a talent that has already been predetermined that I will lead you to the end of the dungeon.

So, don’t die. Can’t die

You called me boss So, as a captain, it’s an order. Do not die.

Please.

[The altar’s guardian knight’s attack misses.]

Silence.

The altar’s guardian knight’s attack passed through Shay’s body, which was wandering between death and death. To the point where people who don’t know the circumstances would ask what kind of joke she was playing.

“…”

It must have been my fault that, just before her swords collided, a faint silvery glow seemed to protect her momentarily around Shay’s body.

She didn’t feel it. It felt like someone grabbed me by the hair and forced me to ride on a roller coaster. Hopes and despairs and hopes jumped from pole to pole in an instant. But what had to be done had to be done. My rationality, which I had resentful of before, played its part this time.

Suppressing her emotions, she gave instructions to Kaya.

“Kaya.”

“… Yes. Leader.”

“Kill.”

Nod-

Kaya roughly wiped her tears and approached the monster. The sound of her boots broke the silence, and the area presumed to be the monster’s eye was shaking violently.

What would you do if you looked at me like that?

Your ultimate kill has failed in the end. Shay survives, and you die again.

There is a saying that all the pain that doesn’t kill me makes me stronger, so thank you for giving me a strong warning.

Thanks to you, I can’t get excited even when something good happens.

“Cylinder, do it…”

[Everything according to God’s will]
[Kaya dealt 6 damage to the guardian of the altar.]
[Remaining HP -5/69]
[The guardian knight of the altar has died.]

“Dad!”

Odo dodo- wow-!

“Oh, my daughter. How have you been?”

“Huh!”

“Haha! Did you listen to your mother?”

“Huh!”

A tall, handsome blonde man held my daughter up to her chest. The man, overflowing with grace and splendid appearance, passed by the servants who politely bowed to him and walked inside.

“Did you study a lot?”

“Chit. Studying is no fun!”

“This. Didn’t you say you wanted to be like your dad later? In order to work where Dad works, my daughter must study hard~”

“It’s okay because I’m Daddy’s daughter!”

“What?”

“It’s good to see you often, Dad! Even better at home!”

Haha!”

The man who was walking to a house that could be called a mansion and enjoying a meeting with his daughter accelerated when he saw his wife standing in front of his house with his hands folded neatly in front of him.

“You.”

“You have worked hard, honey.”

“What is suffering? I’m gone.”

“**, You shouldn’t bother Dad. Come down.”

“No…”

“**.”

“No… !”

“**!”

“No!”

At some point.

The eyes of the woman and the man who had been smiling brightly were empty, and maggots were crawling in their place.

“No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!”

**

“No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!”

“Shhh… It’s okay. Are you okay.”

“Aaaaagh!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Are you okay. Are you okay.”

“Ah… Mom… ! Dad… !”

“Are you okay. Are you okay. Are you okay. That’s right.”

After a battle with an elite monster, Kaya and I managed to retreat from the dungeon. To be sure, it was a miracle that Shay came out alive. Shay couldn’t regain her consciousness after the battle, so I had to carry her on her back. On her way back, she encountered trash mobs twice and she encountered another poisonous gas zone.

We turned Shay into 3 rows in the trash mob and somehow we got hit and kept her Shay.

Shay regained her consciousness thanks to that, but she couldn’t move much and lost consciousness again.

We managed to get back to the inn, and we healed and nursed her Shay with all her might. That was just a few hours ago.

Shay tried to come to her senses, but she was having severe nightmares, and she continued to talk in her sleep.

“Kaya. Wouldn’t it have been better to send him to a monastery?”

Kaya shook her head.

“That’s for sure. Because the sisters who walk the path of tolerance are much better at healing than I am. But if you do that, you may end up in trouble.”

“Am I getting into trouble? Why?”

“This is a crusader from another denomination. It was probably dispatched to find out where the heresy is and to monitor us, the captain to be exact… Didn’t the captain know about this?”

“That’s right, I won’t doubt you unless the denominations are trying to do it.”

“However, although we are not in good condition, we can still be said to be safe, but if the Church of Justitia finds out that the crusader who entered together is wandering between death and death. What does it look like to a third person?”

“… You mean it might look like we’re up there two-on-one?”

“It is a story of possibility. I’m not familiar with such intricacies, but I’ve witnessed quite a lot of how things related to heresy are handled, even as a novice nun. She may find it absurd that the nun would say this, but… When denominations deal with heresy, reason and rationality are put in a considerable subordinate position.”

I’m sorry, but isn’t religion far from the concept of reason and rationality in the first place?

I wasn’t a man who couldn’t read the atmosphere. He kept his mouth shut and only nodded his head.

“If it were the La Ella Church I belonged to, I wouldn’t know, but in the Justitia Church, I am a nun of another denomination. If you witness the incident where their crusaders passed the brink of death without very clear and significant evidence, I could also be accused of heresy. Heresy to the Church, that’s what it is.”

“That’s why we, or more precisely, you are going through this hardship.”

“… I don’t think it’s hard work. I think I got out of there thanks to Shay.”

“… If I say that, what am I going to be? That’s right, I think so too. Without Shay, we might all be dead.”

Nod-

Kaya ran a hand through Shay’s hair. Sweat was beading on her bare forehead. I wiped it off with a wet towel. The cold towel quickly became lukewarm.

“Kaya.”

“Yes.”

“She almost died.”

“Yes.”

“It was scary.”

“…”

I changed the towel and continued talking.

“This was also the first time. To see someone almost die. I’m determined, I did it from the beginning. You don’t know when you’ll die. That I am no exception. But seeing it in real life is different.”

“Is that so.”

“Uh. The first time I met Shay, I almost died, but the world resents me and I felt like my future was collapsing. I’d rather be right, I’d be the tank. No, I shouldn’t have gone there in the first place…”

The words came out more calmly than I expected, probably because I was very tired.

“Don’t die. I’m your captain, so it’s an order. I don’t know how many times I prayed in that short time. It was definitely burdensome, and even though there was a bit of a creepy aspect, the thought of dying in front of my eyes made me very desperate.”

“Me too, I was.”

“Kaya.”

“Yes. Leader.”

“Don’t die. At least, don’t die before me.”

“… Leader?”

Shit.

It’s not that he’s grown taller or anything. It’s just, I’m still drowning in the intense emotions of that time.

But I couldn’t stand the words I had already spat out once.

“If you die, I might go crazy.”

“… !”

“I kept thinking that I might get frustrated and give up.”

Kaya’s half-closed eyes widened from her fatigue.

“Very well, chief. Why would you say that…”

“I know it sounds useless, but just. I wanted to tell you.”

“…”

“And Kaya.”

“… Yes.”

“If you want to quit. Whenever…”

“I don’t like it.”

Kaya’s eyes sharpened. She even looked angry.

“Are you testing me?”

“No, it’s a test. Not like that.”

“I was a colleague that was only that much. Did I just give the captain that much trust? Wasn’t I not worth holding onto eagerly?”

“On the contrary. I feel like it’s too much for me. Besides, it’s not compulsory. You’re a person who has the freedom to do as you please, so that’s what I meant.”

“Yes. Well said. I will be with the captain until the end. At my will. On my own.”

When she came to her senses, Kaya was holding her by the collar and pulling her face. Her eyes and lips were too close.

“Unlike the captain, I am a very good follower of fate. There’s no way I can kick my fate away.”

“… Is that so?”

“If you repeat the same words to me one more time, even the captain will be angry.”

“That’s really scary, so I must protect it.”

“Yes. I will be terribly angry.”

“… Haha.”

Is this kayasik consolation?

The moment she was about to thank her thanks for making her heart feel better for a little bit, she met her eyes.

Gulp-

Although the situation is the situation.

After that day, neither I nor Kaya had any skinship to speak of, so it seemed that her recent encounter was the trigger. Didn’t she go through the crisis of death as well?

It seemed to be the same for Kaya, and her face and I got closer at the same time. I can see Kaya closing her eyes, and I’m about to close hers as well.

“Wow.”

“Omg!”

“Huh?!”

“Oh, sorry. It’s my first time seeing something like this… Lol.”

Shay, who had been sleeping soundly until just before her, blinked at her and smiled bashfully.

“I’ll sleep again, will you continue?”

“Would you like to?”

Kaya became a stone statue of a tomato, and I laughed.

Thank god. Shay.
