After being healed by Lunaire, I was kneeling in front of her.
「My apologizes… I missed my chance to explain my situation before but, uhm, the truth is…. I was directly sent towards this floor.」
「Sent…. Directly? 」
Though she was as expressionless as usual, Lunaire was slightly shaken by what she heard.
I knew that fact due to the minute change on her face.
「That’s impossible. This 《Cocytus》 is a place that functions like a tank to contain powerful demons. There’s powerful barrier covering this place since ancient tis to prevent anything from bypassing the level.」
There was such setting to this place, huh…
But then, Nyarlhotep was a god after all.
Slipping through the ancient barrier didn’t seem to be a big deal for that guy.
「In fact, I……. might be sent from another world by the monster who proclaid himself as a God…」
I decided to tell her the truth regardless of whether she chooses to believe or not.
Even if I were to try to deceive her, I simply wouldn’t have enough knowledge to do so.
Though I was so scared when she told that she was a human hater, or the fact that she was a lich, or her expressionless face combined with her wicked aura, Lunaire didn’t feel like a bad person to .
Honestly, I felt telling her the truth was for the best.
「Person from another world, is it? So, I….. am the first person you t in this world.」
Muttered Lunaire, as she used her hand to cover her mouth.
She didn’t seem to doubt .
Nyarlhotep himself said that he periodically sent humans to this world.
That’s why this kind of an occurrence was perhaps normal for an immortal being like Lunaire.
「I see now… that explains your unusual features and appearance, including the reason why you don’t know about the existence of the magic pouch.」
The flow of the conversation headed towards a positive direction.
「That’s right! I was sent to this world without even knowing why…. Moreover, I didn’tdidnt on’t even know that I was sent to the90th floor of the dungeon… And speaking of floor, I am a Level 1, so I can’t defeat those demons even if I had that sword…」
「Level….. 1? 」
… Cold air drifted from Lunaire.
I could feel her rising rage, despite her usual expressionless face.
Rather, since the change in her expression was barely noticeable, this was perhaps how she looked when she was enraged.
Did I just…… stepon a landmine?.
「M-My apologies! Please forgive ! But still, I still don’t understand, but that….! 」
Lunaire approached , bringing her face quite close to mine.
C-Close…. You’re too close!
「Why didn’t you say anything about you being a Level 1? Are you sowhat convinced that you can do sothing just because of a re few items? In the first place, for what reason did those guys have to send you straight to this place? 」
「M-My apologies! I’m just afraid of inciting your wrath by asking more from you since you said that you hate humans! 」
「That’s….! 」
Lunaire quickly distanced herself from .
「…. It seems I was mistaken. I’m sorry」
Lunaire looked down as she apologized to .
…. A-As I thought…. Could it be that she is in fact…… an extrely kind being?
「But then….. What should I do in that case? As of now, you won’t be able to leave this place no matter what I give to you.」
Lunaire asked .
「Since I will only beco a hindrance if I stayed by your side, I think it’d be fine if you could accompany just till the exit…」
Unless you want to devour .
If I only beca a burden by staying with her, wouldn’t it be just fine if she abandoned to the rcy of fate…?
Co to think of it, rather than a lich, wasn’t she more like a Saint.
Why?! I really couldn’t understand why the self-proclaid human hater Lunaire went this far for .
「You… should’ve died from sothing along the way, you see. That’s why I was astonished to find you were still alive against all odds.」
…. She’s right. Not to ntion climbing ninety floors, just considering those terrifying demons, I should’ve died for sure.
Lunaire placed a finger on her lips as she pondered over sothing while tilting her head.
It suddenly occurred to that there was sothing called “Power Leveling” in “Net Ga”.
The stronger one took along the weaker one to hunt with them; it was a technique to increase the weaker one’s level in one go.
Perhaps, it was possible to do the sa in this world.
「Uhm, excuse …. You have amazing skills but, can you…… Train instead? 」
「… Train? 」
Lunaire stiffened.
「Ah, I-It’s impossible. I-It’s just a passing idea of mine. 」
Lunaire kept her silence and stared daggers at .
「U-Uhm, M-My..! 」
「You… aren’t you scared of ? As for training until you are strong enough to leave this place, it will definitely take a long ti, and you’ll always be by my side throughout the training, you know. 」
「Eh, not at all. To be honest…. I was rather scared when you said that you were a Lich but…. I think you’re a nice person. But, even if it’ll take a long ti….! 」
After that, Lunaire didn’t say anything for a while.
She kept glancing at from ti to ti, as if she were probing. And soon enough, as if she’d decided on sothing, she did sothing akin to clearing her throat.
「…. It can’t be helped then. Though I detest the fact that I have to get along with sothing like a HUMAN… I will train you till you can at least leave this place by yourself. I an it’s not like we have any other option.」
Lunaire easily granted my wish.
「EH, F-FOR REAL? 」
「…. Are you going to refuse? 」
「No, ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD REFUSE! 」
「Then it’s decided. Since I would hate a human like you overstaying in this place, I guess I have no choice but to train you. Yes, this is the only option.」
Said Lunaire, emphasizing the last part.
「Y-Yes, I understand. Since it can’t be helped, then there’s really no other way. Really, thank you very much」
…. Since I had no idea how to reply to her, I would have to go along with what she said.
「As long as I raise your level to 100, it won’t be as easy for you to die from a mishap or stray bullets. Since I’ll accompany you when you’re about to leave, I reckon you won’t et any misfortune along the way. That shouldn’t take a long ti I guess.」
A-As I’d thought…. She is too kind.
Though I didn’t dare say it out loud, since she seed to hate it, I realized that half of her was made of kindness.
「Well then…. I guess I’ll allow you to tell your na. Though I am not interested in human nas, not knowing your na has its own inconvenience. Since undead can curse you just by knowing your na alone, feel free to tell your alias.」
「K-Kanata Kanzaki…. or maybe… Kanzaki Kanata in this world? In my world, the first na is my family na.」
I was sure it was reversed when I checked my status.
「Even though I said you may use alias, I can’t imagine what kind of hardship you’re going to et later with such a low level of wariness, you know.」
「That’s just how much I trust you, Lunaire-shisou.」
「…. Let remind you, I am a lich, and I just find you loitering around to be troubleso-… Lunaire-shisou? 」
Lunaire asked .
「If you don’t want to be called that way, how about, uhm….. Lunaire-san…. Or Lunaire-sama, whichever one is to your liking? 」
「…. Call as you wish. No matter how good it might feel to be called “Shisou”, let tell you that I am not one bit interested in being called by such a title by a human.」
「Y-Yes, I understand.」
「Well then, co a little bit closer. I’ll do a little demon hunting while returning to my base.」
Lunaire walked ahead with her back to .
Her steps were…. light.
This person, in fact, she could be an extrely emotional person, and yet couldn’t show it on her face.
She might be pleased if I called her “Shisou”.
Let’s call her “Shisou” then.
