"Hahaha! There's no way I'm going to make a mistake in piloting this thing, brother.
Good work, well, well, but still, you know.
"Wow! Big ne!
"Hmm, nice dungeon.
The airborne flight was over without incident and had reached its destination.
The giant dragonfly landed at the far end of a canyon in the northwest part of the continent.
Perhaps because of our physical abilities, Amelia and I don't use a ladder, but we jump down and look at the imposing hollow entrance in front of us.
It's definitely huge.
The huge cave entrance makes you wonder why it's not collapsing, as it looks like a passenger plane could fit through it.
Mike says it's magnificent, but it's just as dangerous.
The fact that dragonflies are clacking their jaws to threaten the approaching monsters around the entrance is proof of this.
Moreover, the menacing monster beasts all seem to have their own peculiarities, so this is not funny.
You'll be able to see that scene and think to yourself, "I don't want to smoke today.
"And then? Where do we go from here? You don't mean to tell me that you're not going to just walk in.
"Hahahahaha! Brother, that's a crazy thing to do.
First and foremost, I'll crush my biggest fears.
I was going to make plans to beat the jolly pollywog if this question was answered in the affirmative, but it doesn't seem to take any extra effort.
"Don't worry, brother. My partner let me know we're here. Your ride will be here soon, brother.
"I thought it was a threat.
"Hahahahaha! This guy's menace is not this easy! See what if? Brothers
"No, thanks, it's not my hobby to get tired for nothing.
"I'm sorry, brother.
Who sadly yearns to see a real threat.
It's also a threatening effect, so just keep on clattering your jaws.
The menace of this vicious-looking giant dragonfly would be a lot more powerful.
I'm already tired.
I don't want to waste my time and energy on this place.
"Amelia, I know you're unusual, but don't go in there. Even if you're good, you're bothering your classmates that you're keeping afloat.
"Oh, heh, heh.
"Rest assured, Jiro, I will use Amy as a shield to protect them if the need arises. So don't worry about Amy, you can go in there, okay?
"That's my magic! If that happens, Mike will be in danger with you too!
"I don't mind, okay?
"I'll take care of it!
"Your brother's company is buzzing. Don't you think so, brother?
"Unfortunately, the mood of the parents precedes that.
Amelia was curious about the cave (dungeon) in Amelia, and she approached the cave to get a closer look.
When I stop her, she's being teased by an obsessed Mike.
Well, rather than being caved in, I just watch them.
The pollywoge talks to me.
I'm just going to talk to him and tell him how I feel, but still, I wonder if this guy needs to add a brother to the end of the word.
Ever since I came to pick you up, I've been calling you by your brother.
I've been calling Amelia "missy" and she knows that, but where does that leave us?
Unfortunately, there are no bugs in my family tree.
Hey, why do I call him brother?
"It's easy, bro!
Ask what you don't know.
When I did, the pollywoge gave me a thumbs-up and said in a serious voice: "That's because you're a great brother!
"That's why you're my brother, man!
I don't get it. I don't get it.
"Shock! Why can't you understand my passion, brother!
You can't divide us up with that.
Smoking a cigarette and looking at the pollywog who stands next to you.
No! I'm not sure why he's called me brother, but I'm not sure why he's called me brother, either.
Anyway, I don't know why this man calls me brother.
Not that I'd really like to know.
Maybe it's important to this man, but to me it's just a way to pass the time.
I won't correct you unless it's a very strange thing to call him.
You don't have long to ask the question you've been thinking about, and when you try to focus on your cigarette again, the ground rises with dust.
Hmm?
Lately it has begun to become a habit, reaching for the mineral tree whenever there is a change.
It senses the signs and stays alert.
I wonder if it's a Hexenbiest.
"I think we're coming for you, brother.
The pollywoman sensed it and looked at the ground, wiping away my fears.
As if on cue, it sprouted with tremendous force.
...... enemy?
"Nanny!
"Oh, I miss it.
"No, 'it' is the pick me up, brother.
It looks like a carnivorous plant to me.
That anxiety soon reappeared, but
As each reacted, a plant appeared suddenly, with a huge bucket-like object attached to the end of its thick, wispy trunk.
Its appearance resembles that of an earthly moray eel.
But in addition to its color, it was too agile to move like a plant.
At that point it would be a different species from the earth's moray eel.
I'm not sure we can even classify them as plants.
Look, the bucket has fangs at the entrance and you just said "kisher".
They won't attack, so I won't fight them, but I'll keep my hand on the hilt of the mineral tree.
It's a plant that crosses space, a dungeon elevator, brother. It's a great way to get to the bottom level if you ride in on this thing's vessel, okay? Brothers
"Eaten?
The pollywoge points to exactly the right place for insects to catch them.
There's no doubt they'll be melted and fed.
He looks at you wondering if you're serious.
"It's okay, it's okay! If it's not hostile, they'd rather send you home with glowing skin! Brothers!
"If we get hostile, we're in trouble. We can guarantee our safety, can't we?
Don't worry about it, go ahead and get eaten, brother.
"......
This guy just told me to go get eaten.
He thinks it's his business.
......
Scratching your head as you wonder what to do.
You can't make a snap decision.
I've experienced many fantasies in the past, but this is indeed unknown territory.
It's no laughing matter if you get in and say, "It's okay, I understand," and it's all digested.
Yes, it's all right. He's not lying about what he's saying.
"Really, Mike?
"It's no different than I remember. They'll get you there safe.
Will he try to dispel those fears?
Mike, who is obsessed with Amelia, will share his knowledge with you.
I heard how he came to meet Amelia on the airplane.
And I'm told by Amelia that she's not lying.
So it wouldn't be a lie to say that.
And I want to believe that it's company-provided transportation, no problem at all to .......
...... All right. But if you get bitten, I'll come out of there as a ghost.
"Oh! I'm waiting for you, brother!
"Don't wait for me, a**h*le.
"Aita!"?
We can't just sit here.
There's no way I'm going to charge into the dungeon.
I'm going to poke him on the head and ignore the pollywog who's in pain as I stand in front of the dungeon elevator, slowly lowering the bowl in front of me and cracking open the lid.
You can't feel the digestive juices or hypnotic gas that you had imagined as you peer into the dungeon to make sure it's safe to get in before Amelia and the others.
I look behind me to see if my fears were unnecessary.
I think I'm okay, let's get in.
OK!
I call out to Amelia and let them in.
I make sure the floating students are inside too, and finally skip the pollywoge goodbye.
Thanks for your help.
See you soon, brother!
That's all I have to say and I go inside.
It's dim inside, but reasonably spacious.
I thought it would be more crowded, but the feeling of entrapment is there, but I can stand it for a little while.
With a surprisingly light click, the top lid closes and the car is finally ready to go.
"I forgot to tell you! Watch out for a little rocking, bro! After!
And then, as if to tell you to keep on stepping, you hear the pollywoge's scream from outside.
You can see from the movement of this plant that it's shaking, and since it's going underground, it's only natural.
It's pretty slimy, so bear with me, brother!
"Ah?
Finally, I heard a disturbing word.
I didn't have time to react to those words, and something that looked like mucus filled the vessel with a force that made me sink into the carelessness of the situation.
Strangely enough, I don't have a problem breathing, and I can guess that the mucus is made of magic or something.
But
"You tricked me!
"That's weird!
I didn't expect to be shaken with the force of going downstairs with an overwhelming feeling of disgust beyond what I could bear.
As I entered the dungeon, I promised myself that I would beat the pollywoge next time I saw him, and I desperately endured the persistence.
You won't understand what I'm saying, but Amelia and I will scream through the mucus.
There's no such thing as a good seatbelt.
Every time we shake, we hit someone and the mucus absorbs the shock.
Although it doesn't hurt, it's still uncomfortable to have your body shaken.
The worst ride of all is the plant coaster, and the journey takes only a few minutes to complete.
Kapoli opens the lid and we're ejected as a bucket of water is poured out onto the ground.
How are you feeling?
"...... Worse is Memoria
I'm glad you're okay.
"I wonder how you can be sure you'll be safe after all this at the end of the day.
When you're in a big position, trying to drown your discomfort, someone is watching you like a peeping tom.
It's easy to see who it is.
I hold her silver hair mixed with purple with one hand and answer her question while letting out a wry smile as she looks into my eyes.
"But this mucus is terrible.
"In our country it's a luxury cosmetic product,
"Really? This mucus?
Yes, the mucus quickly dissipates as magic, but its magic is effective for moisturizing and aching skin. To put it another way, the dungeon elevator is a rare species, to the extent that the military and the Ministry of Economy fight over it, right?
Whether it's the operability to move through dungeons or the economy to free the wives of the world.
The demon king's army is in a lot of trouble.
I agree that it's convenient and economical, but I can't take that ride with that sickening combination of mucus.
In order to forget about the discomfort, I look at my palm to check the beauty effects of Memoria's suggestion.
As you look, the mucus left on my palm disappears cleanly as if it were volatile.
And the palm of my hand after it disappeared was as shiny as if it had been dipped in fine lotion.
Speaking of which, that pollywoge.
'All right, all right! If it's not hostile, they'd rather send you home with glowing skin! Brothers!
What did he mean by that?
My skin had become so beautiful that it felt unreasonable, but as a man, I had no way to measure its value.
I can't help but smile as a result.
I look in the quiet direction disgustedly, wondering if Amelia, being a woman, would know anything about it.
......
...... "...... Already Memoria
I didn't see Amelia, who is energetic, lively, and cheerful, quietly and silently struggling to apply mucus to her face.
"Where are the students?
Over there.
"Let's treat ...... a little more respectfully.
"I had to do it because the road is so narrow. Besides, it would have been too much trouble for me to get out of control.
"I see that too.
Putting aside the act of escaping reality, if you ask me how the results of my bait and switch were, Memoria will point to its existence.
You can see that the golems are silently packing something that looks like a black minnow into a container.
I knew that the minome was a group of students and that the container belonged to our company.
There's a good chance that Memoria's story about being violated was also true before she took them.
Then I'll have to say that this treatment is inevitable.
There's no need to go to the trouble.
You get up and sit on your haunches and silently watch the scene of crime.
"You ready to go home?
The passage of return hidden in this dungeon is also close to a loophole.
It's too small and thin to run an army.
That's why the dungeon elevator is placed like this and used only for spy operations.
The gate is almost ready, shall we leave now?
I'm tired of it, for God's sake.
"...... What will you do when you get home?
"For work, it's a report. If it's private, it's .......
I breathe a sigh of relief when I hear that I will be able to return home without any interruptions.
The feeling of finally being able to go home after your business trip is over makes you feel even better.
You wonder what you want to do.
You think you've been here for a few months, long enough to cross over from civilization to the world of fantasy.
As I listened to my desires, I naturally thought of Suela's face, which I hadn't seen or heard from her in a long time.
I broke out in a cold sweat during the period when I would normally be confronted with the reality that I had definitely been rejected.
I'm sure Suela will be fine. To begin with, a few months is no more than a few days for a dark elf.
"Was that on your face?
"Sort of. Would you like to meet in it?
"Yeah, I miss you.
"More than me?
"......
"Just kidding. I'll be happy to be ahead of schedule.
"Okay.
A woman's intuition is sharp.
And cunning.
When you are two-timing, you are at a loss for an answer at a time like this.
You can say that both are important, but they want an answer as to which one is best.
Well, is it just a weakness of love that makes you still love them?
I see you're ready.
"Oh, are we going to go home or do we have to go back to ......?
It's more efficient.
I see.
"A little bit more, just a little bit more!
"Amy, I know what you're thinking, but maybe I should read the air a little more?
We're done packing the container, all we have to do is get in it.
Still reaching for the mucus, I grab Amelia by the collar and pull her down.
The other students seem to have been stuffed into the container by the golems.
I throw the resisting Amelia inside the container and climb in.
We're all on board, right?
"Oh.
After confirming that everyone is on board, Memoria closes the door.
Then we will transfer.
And I touched something like a console by the entrance.
Dense magic, a sign of transference that I felt when I came to Ithal.
This is the end of the trip.
Amelia scurries around with great magic.
"Transition.
With the words of the memoria, you feel the old elevator start up with a bang, and then you feel a floating sensation.
You'll be able to go home in this, right?
Yeah, I'll probably be back home in a little while for a medical checkup and everything, but the next time I open that door, I'll be in Japan.
Before she could wonder what to do in the time it took to arrive, Amelia called out to her.
At the movement, Amelia was a different girl waiting restlessly for the door to open, as opposed to her earlier attitude of asking for make-up mucus.
I'm going to spend all my time with this, I thought, quietly looking at Memoria standing in front of the console, asking Amelia if she was ready yet, to which she replied that she wasn't.
How many times have I done this?
I'm here, sir.
Finally, after feeling like landing with a bang, Memoria quietly announced her arrival.
While there is a momentary lag in reaction, the door opens with a gear and Memoria exits first.
After a few seconds of delay, Amelia rushes out after it, too.
And I'm the last one to step outside.
Jiro-san!
But before I took that first step, I embraced a voice I hadn't heard in a long time.
...... I'm home, Suela.
"Yes! Welcome home!
Spontaneous words of return.
With this word and Suela's welcome back, my business trip was over.
Tanaka Jiro, twenty-eight years old, with a girlfriend
