Chapter 121: Into the Dungeon
We sohow managed to convince Ranze-san to let Louis co with . I was taken by Treasure Chest using his transportation magic to co here, but on my way back to Barbadora, I used my own magic.
The teleport destination was the stadium where they held the in-school tournant, as there was nobody around.
Both Louis and Lutia were taking in the change of environnt.
「How amazing… Even though just teleporting one person consus a lot of mana, ntor teleports three at the sa ti, and across such a great distance no less. Isn’t it supposed to be a hard feat to achieve?」
「Yes. Even nigh-impossible, they say, since it obviously requires a trendous amount of mana. Even so, Seiichi doesn’t even show symptoms of mana exhaustion, he sure is sothing else.」
For so reason, the two gave a delightful look. Their stares felt itchy on my skin.
「 … Co to think of it, what gave you the idea that I was amazing, Lutia? I haven’t shown you my strength, right?」
What suddenly appeared in my head was the fact that Lutia put so high in the pedestal without any obvious reason.
While it was true I was the one who lifted her 『curse』 back then however, just like that white haired iken demon argued that ability wouldn’t prove useful in direct combat.
For Louis though, I fought her first hand, so of course she would know…
Exposed to my question, Lutia instead just tilted her head.
「Hm? Did I say sothing weird? I just said so because I can feel Seiichi is aweso. There isn’t any other reason.」
「Hmm, what a mystery.」
What did she an she could feel it? Did I release that kind of aura? If I did, I can’t see it.
「Well, that’s fine. Either way, it seems like everyone is gathering in the class I’m in charge of, so let’s go there.」
I brought the two with and headed towards the classroom.
◆◇◆
「——For that reason, let introduce you. This is Louis, the 【Sword Knight】 of the Wimburg Kingdom, and this is Lutia, currently seating as the representative demon lord.」
「And I’m telling you, for what reason!? Rather, we did this convo for the second ti already!」
As soon as I reached the class, I walked towards the podium and told everyone so, with Louis and Lutia in tow.
When I did so, Helen gave my crude explanation a big retort.
Saria and Al were more surprised that Louis ca with , their eyes opened wide.
「Eh! Louis-san! Why are you here?」
「No, rather than Louis-san, who’s the other girl? He said sothing like a representative demon lord, but… 」
「Hmm… It’ll take too long to explain, you see… 」
But I still had to explain it, whether I liked to or not, so I told everything from when I was kidnapped by the Treasure Box to the fight with the Demon God Cult.
Helen, done hearing all I had to say, facepald.
「Y-, you… just how many strange things do you want to do before you are satisfied…」
「I’m the victim here, actually.」
「Excuse , Seiichi-sensei. From how you said it, does that an the two of them are going to live here as well?」
Asked Beatrice-sensei to .
「You’re right. If we just look at the conclusion, Lutia is indeed saved, but she’s still being targeted by the Demon God Cult, and the demon folks say that her being with would be the most reassuring, so…」
「Etto~ If the demons, or rather… from what I can take, if the generals of the Demon Army say that, it makes think~ What do they an by having her with you would be the most reassuring, Seiichi-sensei~?」
「Rachel, don’t waste your breath trying to talk with that teacher. I an, look, that woman nad Louis, she is called as the strongest knight of Wimburg, the 【Sword Knight】, and she’s Seiichi-sensei’s disciple. Trying reason with him will only make you sound stupid.」
「I can’t refute that, but please, be gentle with !」
Trying to objectively analyze would only make feel even more out of the ordinary!
「Now that’s my Aniki! Your won are increasing by the day!」
「Co on, Seiichi-sensei, just tell what’s your secret to snipe down won!」
「The fact that you genuinely think that hurts the most.」
My image received yet another heavy blow when I was attacked by Agnos and Flora with their gleaming eyes.
「A, ahem! Eeh, to make it short, Lutia is here because I’m the one guarding her, and Louis is here because she wants to train all over again so she followed . Also, I apologize in advance, but I won’t be able to teach you guys for a while.」
「Eh?」
「Ah, it’s about that matter.」
The students weren’t inford about it, but Beatrice-san had guessed what I ant and nodded.
「It’s a direct request from Barna-san, the headmaster. Apparently, a dungeon appeared in the nearby forest, where the man from Demon God Cult hid before. In order to investigate it, I along with Louis and Lutia, as well as Saria, Al, Rurune, and Olga-chan will head there. The four are my adventuring party in the first place. But, this might pose dangerous for all you students, so you guys will have to standby for now.」
「Th, then, during the ti Aniki in the dungeon, Beatrice-neesan will handle all the classes?」
「That will be the case.」
「But, since it’s impossible for to hold a practical class like Seiichi-sensei, every class will be a theory class.」
「NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNN!!!」
Agnos crumbled on the place he’s on. Umu, do your best.
「I don’t think I need to say this, but…do your best studying while I’m gone, okay!」
『Yees』
「NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!」
Everyone except Agnos answered energetically.
◆◇◆
「So this is the dungeon, huh…」
「uwaah! So the entrance is like this!」
We ca here under the premise that I would bring Saria and the girls with without even asking for their confirmation, but they completely agreed with their roles without complaint.
And now, what was in front of us was a cave that really shouted the aura of “Here is a Dungeon’s Entrance!”
It’s that, you know, the sa feeling that I got from when I was about to enter Zeanos’ cave back in the 【Forest of Endless Love and Sorrow】.
That being said, it sure was hidden well behind the trees.
From an interrogation with the demon god cult mber, apparently the area was buried with a grotesque ss of monsters’ corpses before, although now they are gone.
Evidently, as the result of it, the ecosystem in the area collapsed and a dungeon along with ferocious monsters erged.
By the way, this would be my third ti entering a dungeon, but the second ti I’m entering from the entrance.
「Louis-san! Lutia-san! Best regards!」
「Yes, Saria-san. Thank you for having .」
「Best of regards. …Just like Seiichi, you too have a weird presence around you.」
「Is that so? But, I’m matching with Seiichi, so it’s okay!」
Saria and her cheerful-as-ever attitude managed to close her distance with Louis and Lutia in no ti.
After which, Louis directed her eyes on Olga who’d been loitering around silently.
「It has been a while, Olga.」
「 …Nn. It’s been a while, Louis-oneechan.」
「Have you been well?」
「 …Nn. I’m Gucchi.」
I didn’t know where she learnt that word, but Olga-chan gave Louis a thumb-up.
「A black cat beastman…. that girl is another rare individual to et.」
Lutia who watched the exchange between Louis and Olga-chan opened her eyes a bit bigger.
「So, a black cat beastman is rare, after all?」
「… Un. But, rare, because… they’re a target of persecution…」
「Ah…」
Just because she was born as a black cat beastman, Olga-chan was thrown away by her parents and brought up to be an assassin.
…….Really, what a joke.
While I was crestfallen in spite of myself, Lutia then directed her eyes to Rurune and Al.
「 …And when I look at it, the girl over there has the sa aura as Saria and Seiichi as well. Also, though different, the girl next to her seems to have received a blessing from soone.」
「Mu? I, is that so… the sa as milord…」
「Blessing? Did I get a blessing from soone…?」
Putting Rurune aside, Al was visibly confused.
Well, for her case, Al’s curse should’ve been reversed by the ring we got from Treasure Chest’s loot, and its description also said Blessing written on it.
That being said, it seed like Lutia was capable of sensing the aura and atmosphere of things and people, like mine and the others.
After all, she even noticed, not only Saria, but also Rurune who had received the effect of 『Fruit of Evolution』.
That very Lutia then, after scanning all of us, looked back to the Dungeon in front of us.
「 …… This dungeon…. It gives…. a very sad aura…..」
「Very sad aura?」
「Un. Although, I don’t know why it is giving off such an aura…」
All I could see was just a normal cave, but as I guessed, what Lutia perceived was different.
「….Well, no use thinking about it. Let’s delve in right away.」
As everyone gave their full consent, we took our first step into the dungeon.
