Chapter 80 – Episode 74 – Hands Off!?
Three days have passed since I started preparing for the creation of the guild.
The documents were written in words, application form, and in fact, instructions for guild establishment were written on them, and there was nothing very difficult about them, as they were only at the level of signing them.
The most troublesome thing is the design of the guild crest, but I still haven’t decided on this.
I tried drawing a few with a pen, thinking about what shape to make, but I couldn’t decide easily because I felt a bit unsatisfied when I was thinking about using this.
I mean, there’s nothing quite right about it. Women wearing this sentence are my females.
According to Lisbeth, she said that she could make small letter-level changes to each sentence of the guild members, but it was more difficult for her to decide after hearing that.
If it was the right size, it would be engraved like a vulva on the lower belly… It’s an ambiguous size, so it feels like a waste to engrave it there.
So, that side decided to engrave it separately later as a tattoo or something, and decided to engrave the guild crest on the back of the hand or a place where it could be easily seen.
But in fact, the thing that bothered me more than the design of the sentence was Lisbeth’s reaction.
When I said that I was preparing to establish a guild and asked about the sentence, Lisbeth answered with a smile, but her expression seemed to subtly feel lonely.
I wanted to tell Lisbeth to follow me on the spot, but… Lisbeth’s expression seemed to be thinking, ‘I want to follow Sema, but is that okay?’
Establishing a guild still takes quite a bit of time… More than anything, Lisbeth feels that she has one more step left, so she would feel less guilty if she betrayed Ars after taking that one step.
Thanks to that, he had a rougher night than usual and satisfied Lisbeth as if to soothe him.
And today is the day Als decided to challenge the new dungeon assigned to her.
A dungeon one level higher than the previous Soulic dungeon, assigned the name Leafy.
After entering and looking around for a bit, the monsters’ aggression and movement were definitely better than the previous Soulic Dungeon.
He shows his own avoidance behavior, and his attacks are quite sharp, so it feels like he could get hit if he misses.
Above all, it feels like a dungeon that can be called a real dungeon now, with forks coming out unlike the simple straight passage.
“Wow!”
When he swung his blunt weapon like a baseball bat, the monster’s head, which was shaped like a wolf with sword teeth, exploded and scattered into smoke. Although the monsters have become stronger, it seems that my strength is still at a level where I can beat them in 2 or 3 generations.
And I thought it would fit better than a bladed weapon, but it felt like a blunt weapon stuck to my hand much more than expected.
I just need to swing it as hard as I can without considering the direction of the blade or the direction of the cut, so it’s definitely fine… But if you look at me now, wouldn’t it really be a monster itself?
Also, it’s fortunate that the monsters I’m catching now don’t have corpses left behind, but if they were monsters, the corpses would have been quite miserable…
I’m wondering if I should continue using this or not.
“Is the blunt weapon better than I thought? Other adventurers say that you really have to wield it all day to catch a monster or two… Because you’re strong, you’re definitely different from others.”
Lisbeth came over laughing and touched my arm muscles, she said.
“I think I’m okay too, but I’m worried about catching monsters later. The corpse must be completely miserable.”
“Hmm. It must be difficult to catch monsters whose leather is money. Well, it’s the same even if you use a sword.”
At the same time as Lisbeth laughs, she caresses my arm while making a somewhat ecstatic expression.
Mmm. Als is also by my side, too bold. Even though he satisfied me that much last night… No, is it like this because he satisfies me?
Looking at Ars with a bit of concern, Ars doesn’t pay attention to us and looks around with a serious expression.
Why are you like that? As soon as I thought about it, Ars called out to us in a serious voice.
“What? What’s wrong, Als?”
“…It seems like someone entered the dungeon first.”
“Uh? Could it be… An illegal adventurer?”
Lisbeth, who had been blushing right next to me, suddenly changed into a nervous expression, she asked.
Illegal adventurers… I’m sure they were criminals or outlaws who didn’t qualify as adventurers. I think I heard that most of the illegal adventurers are erratic because the more skilled they are, the less reason they have to commit crimes.
“It’s been about an hour since I entered the dungeon, but there are no points to collect, and the number of monsters is subtly small. It’s probably…”
Are there guys who didn’t even get permission to raid the dungeon? No, maybe he already packed only enough money and got out of there.
“If you’ve already escaped, there’s nothing you can get from the dungeon… But if you stay, you’re saying you’ll run into it, right?”
After hearing my words, Ars nodded and continued with a tense voice.
“If you encounter an illegal adventurer in a dungeon, it is not a crime even if you kill it. The best thing to do when you encounter one is to subdue it and drag it to Radia… But this is the first time we’ve all met an illegal adventurer, and the other side will risk their lives, so I’m not sure if we’ll be able to subdue it…”
Are you saying that there will be no retaliation because they are criminals? It’s kind of embarrassing that it can definitely kill people.
“…Should we just go back?”
“Hmm… If you say you found traces of an illegal adventurer and returned, the guild’s rating would be bad… In the kingdom, it’s recommended to just kill illegal adventurers and bring back traces.”
The fact that the kingdom encourages murder is a bit scary even for an Amman criminal.
Ars pondered for a while, then looked around me, Lisbeth, and Clea before asking.
“…Sema. Lisbeth. Are you okay?”
This could kill people, but I guess it’s okay to go further.
But I’m not that nervous. Is it because I heard that it’s awkward? My level is level 18, but honestly, I feel like I can easily overpower anyone below level 20.
I’m not sure if I’m still in the dungeon or not, so I wonder if I can go inside a bit more. If you have to, you can just burn them all and run away.
When I said that, Lisbeth nodded in agreement with me.
“If it is Sema, then there will be no problem. They’re criminals living in hiding anyway, right? They are people you will meet at least once in your life as an adventurer, so let’s think of it as an experience.”
Ars nodded, then looked at Clea and said.
“Miss Clea. If you encounter illegal adventurers, you may end up killing them. Are you okay?”
“…I want to avoid murder as much as possible…But it’s better than putting you in danger. If possible, please subdue them.”
She wondered if she would be against Clea as she is a nun, but she doesn’t seem to be like that either.
Well, it’s Essentia that’s different from common sense on Earth. Her perception of criminals must also be different.
After deciding on her course of action if she met illegal adventurers like that, she started exploring the dungeon again with a little nervousness.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
That’s how she explored the dungeon for a while, but only monsters came out little by little, but she didn’t meet any illegal adventurers.
Has she already left? As I thought so, as my body relaxed, a room with a strange feeling appeared in front of me.
It’s a dead-end room with no exit… The color of the walls is different from the previous walls, and the floor is divided into three compartments.
“What is it? Do you feel a little different?”
Saying that, she looked around from the center of the room.
“Sema! Gotta get out! This is…!”
At that moment, a dazzling light enveloped the room, and I suddenly felt as if my body was floating.
And when the light disappeared and I slowly opened my eyes… I was standing alone in a place other than the room I was in just now.
Looking around the room where water was flowing in a small corner, I began to examine the situation.
‘Could it be… A trap?’
Seeing Lisbeth screaming urgently to get out… Maybe that’s the kind of thing. But it’s a trap that changes location so quickly. It’s definitely like a dungeon in a different world with magic, right?
‘I need to find three people… They all got blown up somewhere…!?’
For a moment, the thought of Clea, who was blind, sent chills down his spine.
I was trying to find out if there are illegal adventurers in the dungeon right now… What if Clea was alone like me?
No, leaving aside the illegal adventurers who don’t know if they exist or not, what if Clea moved to the place where the monsters are?
Lisbeth and Als are still wizards and warriors with combat abilities, but her nun, Clea, has no combat skills other than recovery skills and blessing skills.
If Clea, who can’t even see her eyes, flew somewhere alone…
I was admiring the teleport trap and taking my time, but I was running away recklessly as I thought of Clea and felt her heart sink down.
‘No! Humanoids are too slow!’
After transforming into Malborghini form, I started to break through the dungeon at full speed.
As they changed, the clothes and weapons flowed down, but the dungeon won’t disappear until all living things are gone anyway.
There should be no problem with finding Clea first and then joining the other two.
‘Please… I hope all three of them fall in the same place!’
While praying earnestly for the three of them to be safe in my heart, I ran with all my might.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
Clea, who was engulfed in the feeling of floating for a moment, suddenly stopped feeling the energy of the other three people around her.
She is startled and tries to sense her surroundings, but she feels nothing but herself.
Is it a type of dungeon trap? If so, he is now alone with the three of them… If the three don’t find him… There is no way to get out of the dungeon.
As she recalled that thought, Clea began to feel fear as she broke into a cold sweat.
‘Oh, no… I believe in three people. It’s more about whether the three of them are safe…’
It seems that he has moved to a place where there is nothing around him, but there is no guarantee that the three of them will too.
Even the illegal adventurers couldn’t confirm it, so in that case, all three of them could be in danger.
Thinking so, Clea sat down in his seat and joined his hands and began to pray.
‘This is more than just wandering around… Goddess… Please, three people…’
Clea prayed for a long time and waited for the three of them. As his legs went numb and his fatigue increased, he began to feel three signs in the distance.
‘…Uh? This…’
It was Clea who thought it was Al’s party for a moment, but the Esser felt from the three presences was a completely different aura from the three Esers.
‘No way…’
As tension spread through Clea’s body, he thought he should move away from the approaching signs and started moving… But moving in a dungeon where the walls were all the same color was quite difficult for Clea, who had trouble with her eyesight.
“Uh? Brother. Why is the woman alone?”
“Is that so? Is that a nun too?”
“Heh heh. Sister. Did you catch a dungeon trap?”
As Clea searched for an exit while groping along the wall, three men who felt an ominous energy approached her with a smile.
“…Uh? Brother, this girl’s eyes…”
“…No way…”
The three people who approached seemed to be taken aback, then suddenly started to laugh out loud.
The three Esers who laughed like that felt a fearful Esser that Clea had never felt before.
“Puhahaha! Hey what is this! What is all this going on?”
Haha! The boss will really like this!?”
“It’s worthwhile secretly hiding in a dungeon like this!”
One of the three who laughed so much approached Clea and asked in a mocking voice.
“Lady… Sister Clea of Ladia. Right?”
“…!? Uh, how…?”
When Clea, who was nervous, heard his name unexpectedly, he asked back without realizing it.
What the hell is Esser felt by these three people…? And does he know himself?
“Ku-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-! Oh this…! Miss. Speaking of nuns, how are you going around dungeons without fear? Kuk-kuk…!”
“Thanks to that, our work has become so much easier.”
“The boss will take care of this.”
The three of them giggled for a while with the confused Clea in front of them, and then one of them started talking.
“Ah~ I live here, so all these things happen. But this nun. Doesn’t it kill her body and her face bro?”
“Hey you two? I was thinking that too.”
Clea began to tremble as she began to feel her occasional unpleasant feelings in the three of them.
It’s a little different, but somehow… The feeling she felt from Sema… That is growing little by little from the three scoundrels in front of her.
“Everyone, don’t come closer…”
“Quack-quick. Sister Clea, where are you going when you can’t see?”
A person who looked like the leader stepped forward and spoke to Clea in a mocking voice.
“You’re going to die here anyway, so go have some fun before you die.”
Saying that, the three beasts began tearing Clea’s nun’s uniform.
************************************************** ************************************************** *******
“Ugh…! Ugh…!”
How far did it run I think I ran at full power for over an hour, but I only encountered one or two monsters, but I haven’t found a single one of the three yet.
What to do If Clea fell into danger from the start, she’s by now…
“Quaaaaa!!”
As her uneasy feelings overtook her, she heard a woman’s tearing scream in the distance.
Realizing that the voice was Clea’s, she ran to her four feet as if exploding, and three men surrounded Clea in front of her eyes…!
“Hey, don’t do this!”
One of the three is seen ripping Clea’s nun’s uniform.
Could they be… Illegal adventurers? Are those guys tearing Clea’s clothes?
Screaming woman. And men surrounding her tearing her clothes.
The moment I saw that scene, I felt the blood vessels bursting in my head, and suddenly a boiling fever began to rise in my body.
“Hey, you bastards! Won’t you take your hands off right now!?”
I shouted curse words and rushed at the guy tearing Clea’s clothes.
