Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children While Being an Adventurer~ Chapter 173: Request

“Sorry for calling you all of a sudden.”

“No, it’s fine. What do you need from ?”

Today, we were called to the Knights Order by the second prince, Felix-sama, who also acts as the Knight Commander.

“I have a request for you, Takumi-dono.”

“A request, is it?”

“Yes, I’d like for you to go together with Alfried to the at Dungeon.”

“at, dungeon... is it?”

There, he asked to accompany Al-sama to a dungeon, but... I was puzzled by the na of the dungeon that was unknown to .

That’s because I have no knowledge of this “at Dungeon”. The knowledge I possess has been inserted by Syl, so I was sure there were 108 dungeons in total.

That’s why even though I am aware of dungeons the people of Aetherdia aren’t, the opposite shouldn’t be possible.

“Your Highness, Takumi-san might not be aware of the dungeon’s popular nickna.”

“N? Ahh, I see. Pardon , Takumi-dono. The at Dungeon I am talking about is the 65th Dungeon ‘Huge Animals.’”

When pointed out by Isaac-san who was also present, Felix-sama corrected himself.

I see, it was a nickna. Yep, that would explain why it isn’t among my knowledge.

... Rather, I have been going to the castle (eting with the royalty) quite a lot recently, and Isaac-san seems to have been nominated as the person in charge of , but is that just my imagination? Moreover, he followed-up for many tis already too~

Is it perhaps because he’s from the Risner family that beca our guardians... or sothing? But, Wald-sama would be in the sa position then, but Wald-sama is not here. Well, I am sorry to Wald-sama, but I would not like being followed-up by him~

“That dungeon is full of large monsters, you see. Additionally, the dropped items are mostly edible ats, that’s why it’s called ‘at Dungeon’ by the public.”

“Heeh~”

“Dungeon of Huge Animals” is one of the interdiate dungeons, it has no attribute, it’s a dungeon of a special class, and it’s apparently very close to the Capital.

Still, for at to be the common drop? That’s quite an interesting dungeon if I say so myself.

“Al-sama is going to that very dungeon? A prince is?”

“Yeah, there are so circumstances because of which Alfried has to go personally.”

“Would it be better for to not ask what those circumstances are?”

“No, it’s not like it’s a secret or anything. That... a cunning, nagging old man has assigned duty for Alfried to complete... then this and that happened, you see.”

“?”

I don’t know what that cunning old man said, but Al-sama has to go to the dungeon because of that?

Yep, I don’t get it. Well, looking at the evasive Felix-sama, I can tell it’s nothing worthy.

After all is said and done, he nad the other party as a cunning old man.

“And so, the request for is to act as his guard?”

“Yes. We intend on adding a few Knights as guards too. There’s a difference between the having the knowledge and experiencing the dungeons for yourself, after all. I would like you to accompany him as well, Takumi-dono.”

So we aren’t the sole guards?

In that case, were sothing to happen, we can keep the monsters company while the Knights protect Al-sama. Sothing like that?

“Is capturing the dungeon not the objective then? Do you have a number of floors in mind?”

“Far from capturing the dungeon itself. The objective this ti is to obtain the at of Flasaurus that resides on the twelfth floor.”

“Flasaurus at, is it?”

Flasaurus, huh. A C-ranked, huge lizard that bursts into flas.

“”Tasty~?””

Allen and Elena who were obedient up until now showed great interest when talking about at.

They have not eaten Flasaurus at before, after all~

“N? The Flasaurus at? It’s quite delicious at.”

“”Ohh~””

“Allen wants to eat~”

“Elena too~”

“”Let’s go, to the dungeon~!””

Hearing that it’s delicious, the children were suddenly eager to go.

And, they pulled on my clothes as if saying “Let’s go imdiately.”

“Hey, hey, we are still in the middle of the talk, no?”

When I cautioned the children, they both stared fixedly at Felix-sama.

“... Err, so, may I believe that you have accepted the request?”

Felix-sama’s words were clogged up after being silently stared at by Allen and Elena, but he imdiately continued the talk.

“Yes, if you consent for the children going too, then I will accept.”

“Naturally. Thank you for accepting.”

After accepting the request from Felix-sama, we went to et with Al-sama straight away.

That’s because Al-sama will be the one telling us the details and the date of departure.

“Sorry about this, Takumi.”

After eting up with Al-sama, his first words were those of apology.

We really just t, so I stiffened for a little in surprise.

“Eh? Wha, Al-sama? What’s the matter?”

“What are you saying, did I not get you involved like this, this ti?”

“Get us involved? How did it turn out like that? I was only offered a request, which I accepted, you know?”

The reason we are going to the dungeon is because I heard the story and decided to accept the request. I definitely wasn’t dragged into the matter, and definitely not coerced.

“That’s true. However...”

Although I did not bla him, Al-sama felt complicated and couldn’t consent.

“”Let’s quickly go, to the dungeon~?””

“As you can see, my children are this eager to go, so you don’t really have to mind it. —— Allen, Elena, it’s not your first ti eting, but you should at least introduce yourselves.”

When I urged the children to introduce themselves to Al-sama after recalling their first ti eting with him, the children cheerfully introduced themselves.

“The yummy at~”

“Will gather lots~”

And, they exposed their appetite.

“at is certainly this ti’s objective, but... we won’t be getting that much, you know?”

“”No way~ lots~!””

“You are going to get many?”

“”Yeah, many~!””

“... Takumi, these children seem to be in extrely high spirits.”

Al-sama was slightly dumbfounded by the children’s state.

“Yes, that is so. And so, have you decided on the ti of departure?”

“I am ready any ti as long as the Knights that are going to accompany us are decided.”

“Your Highness, please excuse for cutting in your conversation, but the Knights that will accompany you to the dungeon have been already selected.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, we were already officially notified by His Highness Felix-sama.”

Najack-sama inford us that the knights who will be accompanying Al-sama to the dungeon as guards were already selected.

And since he said “we were already officially notified” it ans that Najack-sama will be going as well. Well, Najack-sama is Al-sama’s personal guard, so it’s only given that he’s going, right?

“I see... but, Takumi heard about it only today, right? Don’t you have preparations to make?”

“No, we are ready any ti. Even if you say ‘Let us go right away’ that is.”

“Going right away might not be that wise, though.”

“Hahaha~ I know.”

Even though we would be good to go even if Al-sama said “Let’s depart right away then” I understand that it would not be possible.

“Then, how about three days later?”

“Yes, I understand.”

The day of departure to the dungeon has been settled on three days from now on.

“”Ehh~ we are not going today~?””

Allen and Elena were dissatisfied with these three days.

The two definitely want to go to the dungeon right about now.

“Don’t you guys want to have delicious als in the dungeon?”

“Delish.”

“als.”

“”Want~””

“I will prepare many tasty als before going to the dungeon. Look, I might make so snacks too, you know?”

Although I could cook sothing on the spot, having sothing ready to eat in the Infinite Storage would make more at ease. Besides, it might be good to prepare so snacks for when they get hungry.

“Got it~!”

“Three days~!”

When I pulled the trump card that are snacks, Allen and Elena imdiately agreed with the three days.

Being raised by who loves to eat, the two also cannot win against food~ I have to repeatedly teach them not to follow strangers that offer them delicious sweets.
