That Ti Where I t an Elf Wizard
My smart phones vibration feature had started to let know that it was ti to be getting up. Nevertheless, it was still dark outside, around 3 in the morning probably. I managed to untangle my arm from the Ria sleeping next to . Even after shifting and moving her around, she was still completely sound asleep. When I thought about getting up off the bed, I suddenly heard a faint sleepy voice.
Where are you going, Master?
The sudden voice caused to jump.
Oh, Shizuku?
Im sleeping together with Ria in this bed, but ever since Shizuku decided to live with us, she(?) also started sleeping in the sa bed with us. Well, after we start sleeping, she just copies the sheets and futon cover, so that her existence wont be discovered.
I just thought about heading into the dungeon for a bit, is all.
I wanted to grind to get so early level ups so bad that I couldnt stand it.
Please be careful out there, Master.
Well for the ti being, the iron gate is closed so its probably fine. Safer than the other thing at least.
Other thing?
Until I get back, its fine for you to turn into and sleep in the bed.
Understood! I will make sure that Ria does not get frightened when she wakes.
Exactly.
Shizuku imdiately transford into .
Ill be back in a bit okay.
Good luck, Master.
I went over to the front door and grabbed my headlamp off the shelf, equipped it, grabbed my ice axe, and opened the door.
Whats this?
The secret passage between the dungeon and my room had beco filled with nothing but slis. I imdiately closed the front door. Co to think of it, I did leave a blue sli in so Tupperware and left it as is. I wonder if it broke through the container and multiplied. Or maybe so other tinier slis all broke in and made their way here sohow. Well, either way, I should start by eliminating all of these blue slis.
I opened the front door and started swinging my ice axe. One after another, the blue slis jiggled and separated. The blue slis were really slow creatures. I had already eliminated 14 of them, but I couldnt lose my focus here. One ti I was bit by a small sli and it really hurt bad, so if I get bit by one of these bigger ones, I might get heavily injured and lose a lot of blood.
Hah.hahAlright, I wonder if I was able to get all of them. I also think I might have leveled up. Huh? No, waitugghh.
After pondering about it, I killed all these slis, but now there wont be any more to gain experience points from. After going through all the effort of getting this ready too. But whatever, its fine. For now, Ill just check my status.

Alright, looking good. My progress is coming along nicely now. Lets keep grinding and level up so more! But, no matter how much I looked, there were no more slis around.
None here. I guess I must have really killed all of them
I guess the only thing to do now is to open up the steel gate and let new monsters co inside. The gate was thick and massive, made of steel, and it only had a hole to look through. The entrance was designed so that when you pressed the button on the stone wall, the gate would start to rise up slowly, and then, when you pressed it again, the door would start to lower. Ria found this button, and we have been keeping the door closed so that the number of monsters that co in doesnt get too high. They were easier to defeat like that too.
We could preserve peace inside this room of the dungeon as long as the door was closed, and it seed like adventurers would sotis set up camp in here. In the deeper parts of the dungeon, past the door, there were traps and large quantities of slis. You could overstay your visit and run out of food and water easily, there were also countless dangers there. Ria had entered the room and barely was able to close the door, where she was then overpowered by the paralyzing poison. So, for now, its a closed room situation where there was nothing but tiny slis to attack.
So I guess that the slis that were helping contribute to my level grinding are all gone now. But if I were to open up this iron gate
What should I do? Should I open it? The feeling of wanting to level up won out over the feeling of danger.
Thats it! Because this gate rises slowly upwards when it opens after I push the stone button, I can look underneath the gate, and if I see any really strong looking monsters, I can go and imdiately push the button again to lower it.
At least by doing this, I could guarantee a certain margin of safety. And with that, I pushed the stone button. I got ready to peek under the gate and take a quick look around to see whether there were monsters there. The gates contraption made so noises and started to rise.
Huh? Whats this?
I quickly pressed the button again. On the other side of the gate, was just another stone wall. There was literally nothing on the other side. The gate closed.
W-What the hell is this? Ria said that she ca from the other side of this gate, I dont think shed tell a lie like that though to . Sothing isnt right.
Actually, now that I think of it, I thought of sothing that was similar to this situation. When Ria tried to exit out my window, she could only see the stone walls and wasnt able to go out into Japan. Dont tell , could this be similar to that? I wonder if it would be too dangerous to check it out one more ti.
I was kind of conflicted, but in the end, I decided to try it out once more. The rising and lowering of the gate was pretty slow, so last ti I only opened it so that it was a little above knee level. If the gap is only knee level, then even if there were strong-looking monsters, they might have so troubles coming inside. I pushed the button once more and the gate started to rise slowly. I quickly examine the stone wall on the other side of the gate. If it was an illusion, I would probably be able to pass through it, but it was an ordinary stone wall.
Shit. I knew it, its the sa thing that happened with Ria. I really thought that it looked like it would just be so dumb trick.
I tried attacking the wall with my ice axe. And when I did that, I heard a distant sound like sothing was running over to my direction.
This is bad! Its a monster!
I thought that a monster was coming and started to panic, so I pushed the stone button to close the gate. And then, the thing that I thought was a monster started to call out to in the sa weird telepathy language that Ria had used.
Get out of the way!
I thought it sounded like a human, and suddenly a white leg ca out towards and sent flying with a kick. When I tried to see what was happening, a black pointy hat, a black cloak, and a wooden staff being carried by a girl ca sliding in through the gap of the gate. By looking at her she seed to be a wizard. And it feels like she might have kicked in the face.
The wizard girl was on one knee and glaring towards the direction of the gate. It looked like she was injured. And gravely at that. The color on her face was bad, and she had sothing red dripping down the edge of her mouth. Dont tell that was her blood?!
Hurry and close the gate! A giant centipede is coming!
A giant centipede?! Thats when I realized it, no doubt about it. The next thing coming in was definitely a monster! I quickly stood up and ran over to push the button. The gate started to lower. I wasnt sure if Id make it on ti. The gate was lowering so slowly. I was nearly at the end of my rope and got irritated at how slowly it was moving. The gap was nearly at ankle height by now. Just when I thought that we might be okay, thats when the monster finally showed its face.
