We entered the boss room on the final floor.
Normally, Hakua would be waiting here in her dragon form, so the room was overwhelmingly huge compared to the other floors up to the ninth.
The room was wide enough for a dragon to fly around while fighting with the dungeon challengers.
By the way, Hakua was the final floor boss, but right now, her figure was that of a cute little girl, and she was currently walking in front of us. She didn’t have the heart to fight with us, it seed.
I didn’t have any qualms fighting her if she was in her dragon form, but it was quite difficult to fight her now that I knew about that dragon being this petite girl.
I was worried that Hakua would transform into a dragon as soon as we step inside the boss room and say things like ‘No, you fight with !’.
The object I was aiming for stood at the furthermost corner of the room.
It was a colossal, black stone monunt.
I already confird that there are words written in so kind of characters on it. It probably contained the information that I wanted — the na of the Guardian Hero who challenged and tackled this dungeon alongside Tina. I’m sure it was written there.
I briskly strode towards the stone monunt.
With this, I’d know why Tina’s mories were sealed.
That’s what I thought, but —
“I-impossible, right…..”
I couldn’t read the words on the monunt.
I drew closer until I could properly scrutinize the characters, but the recorded words were written in a language I had never seen before. It was also different from the book that Luna got from the transferred hero’s bonus room.
“People finish the dungeon, write nas there. But no-no read it.”
Hakua said that as she drew nearer to . I had gone ahead towards the monunt on my own earlier. Even the Dungeon Master Hakua couldn’t read these characters.
Words were automatically recorded on the monunt using so kind of characters when you completely tackled the dungeon.Those letters were considered as the nas of those who finished the dungeon course.
Hakua only heard about this from soone who belonged to her race, and she didn’t know what was really written on it.
She also knew about Tina because rumors about her had spread among the dragon clan, furthermore, she was already listed as ‘Dungeon Completer’ on the Dungeon Control Board, so she understood that Tina was one of those who cleared the dungeon.
However —
“So, does Hakua know the na of the Guardian Hero?”
“Guy travelled with Tina, finished here? Sorry, no no.”
Hakua also didn’t know the Guardian Hero’s na.
The Guardian Hero’s na that wasn’t written in any book — I thought that it would surely be written here, so I’ve had co this far.
But, it was all futile.
It was true that the hero’s na was written here. However, if I couldn’t read it, I wouldn't know the na of the Hero.
“False hunch, after all……..”
Words unwittingly spilled from my mouth.
I led everyone here, trusting my intuition that I’ve recently gained the ability to use.
I had a feeling that the clue to Tina’s mory was in here, and that it would be better to take everyone else with , so even though we only had a little ti left here in Vestier, I partly forced them to co with to this dungeon.
“Halt-sama, are you okay? You look pale, though…”
Tina ca later after , and was worried.
“No, I’m fine. It’s nothing.”
I can’t talk to Tina about that Guardian Hero’s na. She might collapse again if she noticed that she didn’t rember his na.
“Is that so…. If there’s anything bothering you, please feel free to talk to about it, okay? I’m Halt-sama’s wife and exclusive maid, after all.”
I saw a shadow of sadness pass through Tina’s face, but it was fleeting. She probably noticed that I was hiding sothing from her.
But sorry, I’d be keeping this to myself.
“Thanks, Tina. I’m really alright.”
I stroked Tina’s face after saying that.
“Halt-sama, you cleared dungeon. Please touch stone monunt?”
Hakua was right beside the stone monunt, and she turned around to call out to .
“Yup, got it.”
I walked to the spot beside Hakua, then touched the stone monunt.
—!?
Sothing poured inside my mind.
It was the _mory that I touched _the stone.
That’s because I —
“Ah, Halt’s na is added to the stone!”
“Eh!?”
I doubted my ears when I heard Luna’s words.
The characters appeared on the stone monunt when I touched it. But, they were the sa as the previously recorded letters on it, and I wasn’t able to read it, either.
“Luna, perhaps you can read the characters written on this stone monunt?”
“Yes, I can read it….”
Quivering for a bit, I drew closer to Luna. Her face turned red. She seed surprised.
But now —
“T-then, can you please read everything that’s written here?”
“I-I understand. The first character on the top is [Dungeon Completer]. The second one was the one added just now, Halt’s na [Halt Ernol]. The third na is [Tina Harivell] — Teacher Tina’s na, right?”
Tina probably touched this stone too when she cleared this dungeon a hundred years ago.
Her na at that ti would be Tina Harivell.
Moreover, there was another line of characters recorded on the stone monunt. That was probably the na of the Guardian Hero who cleared the dungeon alongside Tina —
“The last string of characters is the na of the Hero-sama who ca from the other world, it seems.”
“W-what does it say!?”
“[Saijou Haruto]....It’s similar to Halt’s na..”
