________________________________________________

When the magic power surrounding her dissipated, a woman who looked closely Japanese with black hair and eyes and wears a witch outfit took form. The woman slowly approached and talked to .

Id like to praise you for doing great, but sorry that the dungeons defence chanism caught you at the end. Thanks to that though, Id say Im lucky that you ended up here. It makes really happy

Ummm

Ah, Sorry about that. I got a bit too excited not eting anyone for quite a long ti. Rest assured because I am currently holding back the system surrounding us. That one is also coming to help you using that string on your wrist. You will be able to return later

Umm, who are you?

I asked the person who suddenly just went on a barrage talking non-stop. After all, it felt like she would just continue on and on without stopping if I didnt intervene.

Ah, that was bad of . For now, let us introduce ourselves

Is what she said after bowing down realizing her mistake.

My na is Cerberica Akabane. I am one of the 16 great witches that created this dungeon and is a descendant of a Hero

Oh, an unexpected character showed up. I didnt expect to actually et the creator of this dungeon that the old man ntioned. I wonder if I should be careful about how I word myselfno, I dont think I need to and I want to hear more about this place.

I see, Im Aidle. I have a lot of other things to ask, but first of all. Whats with the chanism of the floor after 20?

It was my masterpiece

No, that was just insanity!! I even thought I would die, you know!!?

Fuhahaha, thats just the privilege of a Dungeon MakerSorry about that, but I had to do it. I really have to, anywayAidle, could you handover the Holy Armor for a bit?

Eh, okay, here

After reluctantly taking out the armor and handing it to her, Cerberica touched the armor as if observing it. I could also feel as if she was holding onto sothing dear to her.

I seeit has finally returnedyoshi, that should be good enough. You can have it back

Are you okay with that?

Its fine, Im just a bit fond of it. I would like to thank you for purifying it. Now then, shall we proceed to the main subject. That armor would also be quite relevant to you in the future

The witch then waved her hand and sothing resembling a video screen appeared. It seems like it was set in the past. It was about the humans that have disappeared from the records of history.

I was born from a person known as the Sage and was partnered with the a Hero. During that ti, a few Heroes would be summoned but usually they are alone, in order to counter the Demon King. A lot of things happened in this world and the Hero did long for the previous world, but two people fell in love and I was the result. But at the ti they fought the Demon Kingthey died

Did they failed?

No, it was because they were betrayed by another Hero, it was a real tragedy

After the fight, black smoke erupted from the remnants of the Demon King and possessed the Holy Armor of the dead Hero.

Normally, a Holy Armor would lose all of its power in order to not be exploited by others and would only be activated by other Heroes. However, while the holy armor was still in the middle of diminishing its power at that ti, the Demon Kings soul possessed it. The Demon King was able to do it because it possessed powerful skills under the Curse Branch. As a result, the Armor was transford into a hideous monster

Monts after, the possessed Armor went berserk Killing the remaining heroes one after another and standing in front of the Demon Kings throne after murdering everyone. As the video continued, the view changed into a tattered royal castle and a cityscape full of monsters.

This is

It was supposed to be a Country, yes. But it has now turned into a dungeon

Ah, as I have expected

And so in this world where the Hero that was supposed to wield it disappeared, a Cursed Armor was left behind. A pitiful possessed armor that couldnt rest and would only curse and kill everything that cos near it.

After that event, the world went into turmoil. None of the heroes ca back after all. Everywhere was a hellish picture due to the damage received from monsters. But I wanted to save that armor, the armor that was left behind by my father. It was the only keepsake that remainedthats why along with my friends, we developed it. The Dungeon Creation Magic

Wait, arent dungeons a created via natural phenonons?

Thats right. You could consider a dungeon a mutation of a monster that manipulates Space and was created by absorbing the surrounding environnt into it. In exchange though, a Dungeon Core would also be created along with it. One wont normally find it, but there will always be one within it.

And we got a hold of those dungeon cores she continued. And then using the altered dungeon core and its features, they encapsulated the armor and sealed it in the depths of the dungeon that was created. Never to be seen by anyone again. They then altered the dungeon to make it look like a naturally generated dungeon.

The 20th layer is supposed to be an area that no normal humans would be able to pass, and would even trouble Heroes unless the possess a skill called Trap Removalat EX rank. I was really surprised by a small group of people, and with great montum clearing the area. And with the non-stop montum even reached the point of defeating that Armor alone. I couldnt help but laugh at the hilarity being presented to to the point that my stomach was hurting.

O, Oh, is that soby the way, why do you call yourselves witches?

The answer is si. A Dungeon is a Monster that is harmful to humans. And we created such a munster, thats when we got labeled as Witches. In actuality though, there are those who supported us knowing that the people would hate us to the point that they would want to eliminate us. I dont know how my other friends passedwhich is my only regret which I was not able to witness. After all, I used myself to beco a pillar managing this dungeon.

Hmm? Managing?

Eh, wasnt that the old mans job?

Hearing , her happy expression was lost and beca a bit dark. Her tone of voice also changed to that of a depressed tone. She then turned off the video with her hands, and with a voice as if wanting to make a confession to atone, she answered.

About that kidit was just an unexpected incident that caused it. There was no way for us to have expected that a fairy would actually manifest in the dungeon core. And because of that happening, the administrative controls that I handle were suddenly taken away from . Halfway from being born, he was rged with the core and and because the administrative functions was taken away from , I was not able to interfere or do anything about it

Thats probably how her biggest miscalculation started and also the beginning of the old mans misfortune.

But, cant you communicate via the dungeon core?

Didnt I tell you already? I am nothing but a soul now. I was able to take shape now because of the influx of magic power, but I was not able to do that at the ti he was appointed as the managerit was really vexing. All I could do was watch that one desperately learn things as he watched the adventurers that enter the dungeonthats why, this ti because I have the chance, I would like to do everything I could possibly do. Its kind of ironic that the being that was able to help the both of us was from a similar race as him. That little has finally been freed

Because of the forced removal of the administrative functions, Cerberica was able to return as the administrator, and laughed happily from the bottom of her heart.

Is this what she truly feels though. Her story was bitter, tragic and painful only to end up like this. Is it really alright to let it beno, I isnt this just the right ti to turn things over?

Alright, Ive decided. I will also take you out

Ha?

Its simple, Ill just have to remove about 90% of this place to remove you

Do you even know what you are sayinghow are you even going to do that?

Well, you should take note of this from now on and keep it as a souvenir, there is nothing impossible when it cos to Fairy Magic

And so, using all of my power, I took control of the system around us and forcefully created a new core. Using the skills of the dungeon fairy as base, I forcefully fitted a similar skill structure to replace what was needed. This ti, there are no functionalities that would bind a soul in this place anymore.

but

She was about to say sothing bad again, but I silenced her with my reasons.

At this point, of course I definitely want you too. et with the old man, talk to him, and tell him you are her first friend ever in this world. You were also alone in this place after all. I dont want only one of you to have a happy ending. I wont ever forgive such results. And fairies never admit defeat. Thats why

Monts later after completing the rewrite, a hand of light grabbed from the string in my left hand. I then offered my empty hand to the witch that was sobbing and couldnt do anything on her own.

Co on Cerberica. I want you to na that child after we leave.

Ugh, haa, fine I give up. Its really amazing, fairies that is

Finally after grabbing my hand, our bodies were sucked into the string, and the space we ca from was crushed by an intense bright light

Gramps, youre back!!

I got her. Help pull her out!!!

The old man ca halfway out of the dungeon core, and then her best friend was holding his hand.

Aidle!!

Master, you were safe!!

Everyone imdiately rushed to confirm Aidles safety, but Aidles hand was still inside the dungeon core. Everyone was wondering what was happening?

Aidle?

Ah, sorry Arena. Wait for a bit as I pull this idiot out. Co on now, dont be shy, or do you have so kind of communication disorder. Dont tell sothing like being embarrassed appearing in front of many people now. What happened to that rapid non-stop talking you were doing earlier? Co- on- now- and- just- co out!!!

After a bit of ti, Aisle forcibly pulled out what seems to be a human from the core leaving the core with creaking noises after she pulled her out. However, the old man seems to be the most surprised seeing who it was.

Creator?

After a while, things have finally settled down. The normal Arena and a loli La Veil was now with sitting on Maurice that transford into sothing like a sofa. The children were seated on chairs prepared by the old man while he and Cerberica was surrounded by everyone. This is to prevent both sides from running away. As we were doing so, Mika started talking to .

Hey, Aidle, is that person Japanese?

Id say half. You could say that her parents was married into soone from this world

Oh, isnt that kind of romantic

It does sound like a nice romance story. I also like those kind of stories. Now then, right now Cerberica was looking at gramps as if she had done sothing terrible. I already told Gramps about all the things that I have witnessed inside the core, but he calmly listened.

Um, how should I start this, nice to et you I guess? I didnt expect that Creator was actually in my imdiate vicinity not to ntion that I was actually given the chance to et her in the imdiate future

Well, about that, it just couldnt be helpedI also wanted to communicate with you, but I just couldnt do anything

Ahaha, that is really embarrassing. When I was younger, I definitely did a lot of things that would make look like I was making a fool out of myself

No, no, I am actually quite that you were able to get that far, not to ntion that you were actually able to help us get out of the core under such circumstances, you are way more amazing compared to and Im really sorry for not being able to do anything. Im sorry

Gramps did not respond to her apologies and just went and pat Cerbericas head gently. Cerberica who was a bit terrified raised her face to look up at Gramps who greeted her with a gentle smile.

Its alright. You did try to protect the world even to the point of giving up your life and being worried by a lot of things. Whatever the results, I also thought that you did what was right. We definitely both felt lonely because of that. But Im more happy by the fact that I could share that experience with soone else, so please dont look like that anymore. After all, I also wanted to give my thanks to you

I see. Then I would like to thank you for all you have done so far. I want to give a gift to you who will walk in a brilliant future from now on. As the first and last parent who created you

I will receive it with great respect.

Cerberica who then lifted her hands to his cheeks while the old man kneeled down and bowed his head in front of her. The two were now both smiling.

Then I shall give you your na, your na will be Quad . It was a na that according to my father would have the aning Innocence. And as your parent, Ill also add my na to it. So from now on, you shall be known as Quad Cerberica. I want you to accept this in happiness and continue to pursue the of happiness in your future endeavours

After doing so, Cerberica started fading from her feet. It seems like the excess magic power that made her materialize was now starting to vanish. Arena attempted to supply her again with magic, but this ti I held her back. Sorrybut,

You must not prevent it those who are already satisfied to pass on, okay

un

I hugged Arena as I watched over the fate of the two unfolding before my eyes.

Gramps wrapped held both her hands as he said in tears.

Yes mother. I wish you a peaceful restplease have a good sleep

Yeahfarewell then, my beloved child

Just as Cerberica was about to disappear, she turned towards and bowed a little saying her last farewell.

Aidle. Please, I ask of youwould look after my child, Quad?

Un. I swear I wont let him live a life of regret. Thats whyyou may take a peaceful rest, Cerberica

YeahIll do so

And so, the descendant of the hero who has lived for over 10,000 finally had a peaceful rest, and the existence she left behind laso satisfied while feeling their love for each other even after they had parted
