The entrance to the dungeon was located in the middle of the mountain.
There are no guards - or, as expected, it's impossible to go to the lowest level of the dungeon in a few days and get the magic sword, so do you think that's not necessary?
Or do you think that you can just attack the place where you brought back the magic sword?
Well, it doesn't matter either way. Let's just be vigilant.
''The last thing I would like to ask you is...''
At the entrance of the dungeon, Leticia said.
''In the end, what are you going to do if you can't summon the magic sword?''
What are you gonna do? I'm just gonna walk away.
What?
...... Why do you look so pompous?
Oh, wasn't your goal to get the Count to take a swing at you?
Yeah. But it's not like the Count is my nemesis. At the most, it's something that bothers me when I leave him alone - a half-eaten lunchbox lying in the corner of my room, a scrap of paper that I threw away but didn't fit in the trash, and that's about it.
The most important thing for me is that we make it to the next town in peace. If it gets dangerous, we'll turn around and go home if it gets too much trouble on the way.
...... pfft.
For some reason, Letitia held her mouth and started wiping it off.
''Fufufufufufufu! I see. Now I kind of understand why everyone is following you.
Leticia snapped her longsword in its scabbard with a kacha.
''But I won't be your slave, will I?
It doesn't have to be.
If you add more dependents, you're in big trouble.
So this is for Aine.
I handed the broomstick to Aine.
"Just as I taught you how to use it. Rita and I will take care of the ones who missed a shot.
I understand, master.
It's not just a matter of time before you're able to get your hands on a new one.
It's a loose-fitting piece of clothing with a chain or brimstone inside. I asked the toolmaker who sheltered me to find something that looks good for Aine, and he gave me this.
This is why it looks so good on you.
The front guard is Rita, Aine and Leticia. The rear guard is me and Cecil. The first and second levels will be the same. Is that okay?
Yes, sir! All right. - All right. - I understand.
Each of us will get an answer.
Come to think of it, this is the first time I've been in a dungeon.
They say it's bright inside because of the hickory moss.
I have the map in my head, so let's just get it over with in the shortest distance.
It seems that the first and second levels of the dungeon were originally mines.
Inside, the rock surface is exposed, and the moss stuck to it is emitting a light blue light.
The dampness is probably because water is leaking from somewhere.
The black shadow that appeared there was a one meter long...
I'll take care of it, Hey-kun!
Before I could check the demons, Aine's broomstick drew an arc.
''Demon wipe out LV1!''
Shuppah, shuppah, hyuuuun!
The three demons that had been blocking their way flew through the air.
'Giant Toad.
A big toad. They love water and damp places.
They have a habit of trying to chase out people who come into their territory.
His special skill is to use his huge body and jumping ability to hit people with his body.
The giant toad flew through the air and crashed into the dungeon wall.
Betcha, crushed, and fell.
Yes, it's done.
Yeah, keep going then.
We begin to move forward at a fast pace.
Aine's broomstick sweeps the floor and walls of the dungeon from one side to the other.
Each time a demon appeared, it hovered in the air and slammed into the wall, leaving us motionless.
I bought two skill crystals at the skill store yesterday.
Most of the goods in the store were bought up by the Aristocrat Guild, who had stopped exploring the dungeon, but there were still a few low-level common skills left.
I also have the Hard-hitting Lv 1 and Cleaning Lv 1 that I had when I first came to this world.
I've done this combination before.
(1) 'Clean up' skills to 'clean up' 'low level monsters' with 'cleaning tools'.
(1) Demon Sweep Lv 1: Blows low-level demons away with the cleaning tool.
(2) "Powerful Damage" skill for the room.
STRIKE LV 1: Deals severe damage to the walls and interior of a room. The destructive properties of bricks and wooden walls.
There is no need for a 'building bang'. We're keeping it because it's too dangerous to sell (and can be used for trespassing).
Our goal is to speed up our dungeon attack, so we'll need the Demon Clearing tool. It's been tested that this thing can blow up low-level monsters.
By the way, it was his wish to install it on Aine.
The demons that touched Aine's broomstick fluttered through the air in an interesting way.
They fly with a whirr and fall crashing into the rock wall. If it wasn't for the underground passage, they'd be flying several hundred meters. It's amazing.
The success rate of "Demon Clearing Lv 1" was about 30% to 50%.
Rita, Leticia and I dealt with the demons that didn't fly (my friends were stunned when they were suddenly blown away).
We push our way through the dungeon at a fast pace.
The rate of appearance of demons is surprisingly low. I mean, there are guys hiding in the corner of the tunnels and staring at us, but they're not coming near us anymore. I wonder if this is what the first level is like.
...... Even demons don't want to deal with these bullshit skills!
...... It's going to destroy the whole concept of dungeon-catching.
Behind Aine, who was waving a broomstick around, Rita and Leticia murmured.
It can't be helped, it would take too long to capture the dungeon properly.
Thanks to "Demon Cleanup Lv 1", the dungeon capture RPG became an action game where you only have to swing your broomstick when enemies appear, so we broke through the first level in less than an hour.
We went down the rope ladder that led to the second underground level.
"Do you want to take a break?
I say, and Aine says, buh-buh-buh-buh! I shook my head.
'Aine, I'm fulfilled right now.
Enough?
I feel alive. I've been doing nothing but backing up adventurers all my life.
Aine gripped the custom-made broom (the handle is iron and the brush is animal hair) that the toolmaker had prepared for her. The handle is steel and the brush is animal hair), which was custom-made by a toolmaker, was gripped tightly.
It feels good to feel that I'm using everything I have for someone I care about.
And he's got some kind of glazed look in his eyes.
I've been holding my chest impatiently as I let out a hot breath with a huff and a puff.
'Nah-kun is using Aine for me. Nah-kun is asking Aine to do a favor for you. It's a good idea. It feels so good. Nah-kun's look, his words, his commands, and everything else is ...... a reward for Aine.
Aine?
Use more Aine. "Let me use my body and my mind to serve you. Let me serve you. Let me serve you, so that you can see that everything about Aine is yours. More, more, more.
Your workaholicism is all over the place.
Because if I don't do my job perfectly, they will complain.
Aine nodded her head curiously.
'I get complaints if there's a typo on the quest paper. If there's a demon left to hunt or something like that, the client gets angry. I'll have to ask for another quest at my own expense. They get angry when the tavern doesn't have enough alcohol in stock. I have to do my job well. That's why Aine has to fight so hard like this. It has to be that way.
This isn't work.
...... Huh?
Going to get the magic sword is just a hobby. I'm just keeping people company for my hobby.
Maybe Aine still hasn't gotten over the feeling of working 22 hours of black labor in The Common People's Guild.
As Leticia said, "A fast spinning water wheel". She's addicted to working. You're high and your mind and body are spiraling out of control. I've been there myself.
It's just like Letitia said. Aine can't take it anymore.
"Trying to acquire the sword is just a hobby of mine, a way to spank the Count. I'm serious about it, but it doesn't have to be desperate. It's just like a game.
'So what should I do about Aine? Nah-kun.
I guess I'll just have to pace myself.
'What if it doesn't work? What if it doesn't jump the demon? What if I bother everyone?
We'll be right behind you. You'll be fine.
Is that what Aine's master ordered?
It's more like hope.
Is Aine allowed to do what she wants to do?
I'm not surprised.
'Can I say I need a break if I'm tired? Wouldn't you tell me not to spoil it if I said it was like water in the middle of work? Wouldn't you get yelled at for being lazy if you squatted down because it's hard to stand up?
I don't.
How hard were you working on Aine, Aine's uncle and the adventurers of the "Commoners Guild"?
I'm lonely, so if I asked Nay-kun to pat me on the head, would you do it for me?
'Yeah, ......, eh?'
We're going to miss you so much and we need you to pat us on the head, Master.
The maid looked at me.
She looked up at me and clutched the broomstick anxiously.
Let's see.
"...... Okay, okay?
Whisper, Whisper, Whisper.
I touched Aine's hair with her pure white headdress on it.
It felt soft, as if I had put my hand on a luxurious down comforter.
''Hmph.''
And Aine closed her eyes impatiently and cleared her throat. Just like a cat.
She touched my hand on her head, and then brought it to her cheek. It seems to mean "pet me".
I can't help it. ......
Wow.
"...... haha ......
You know what?
Every inch of Aine wants to be touched by every inch of her.
What are you talking about?
Nai-kun said he wanted me to say what I was thinking.
I told you.
That's why Aine's words are pouring out of her chest and threatening to spill over.
Let's wait until after we leave the ...... dungeon.
Yeah. Okay. Well, I think that's the end of the break.
Aine carefully retied her untied hair.
When I adjust the apron of my maid's uniform, her large breasts sway and sway. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
''Nay-kun──Master, I want you to remember one thing.
Setting up the broomstick again, Aine says.
"To my sister (Aine), what is done to her is a reward without a single exception.
Aine laughed as she whispered in my ear.
...... like some kind of dangerous switch was flipped.
