Chapter 136: Ch 136: To Hell’s Fire- Part 4
’Is this what... inside of this dungeon is like? There are no monsters. In fact, it looks like a modern city. But I should not let my guard down.’
I reminded myself as I looked at the outstretched hand in front of . The smiling face that looked back at
was almost shining.
The man who extended his hand toward
seed to have no sha, not taking his hand back even after I gave him no answer. If anything, his smile widened even more.
"Co on-! What are you acting all shy for? I am not going to bite you. I just want to help you out."
The man told
once more, and he sounded even more genuine than before.
I would have believed him if not for my instincts that were telling
that he was not a good person and sohow trying to scam .
"What do you want
to do? Nothing in this world is free, be it food or help. And you do not seem like the person to do it for their own benefit either."
I asked the man, and he paused before giving
a startled look. Then, he let out a startled laugh and gave
a pat on my back suddenly.
"Oh my-! There is no need to be this cautious. I promise I am not here to scam you or anything. I was just short on dancers and thought you looked pretty. So I wanted to offer you a job. You don’t have to be so offended by it."
The man told , and from his relaxed expression, I had a feeling that he feared nothing... which likely ant that he had a lot of power at his command.
’Alright, I guess it won’t hurt to check the work this man is offering out. Besides, I am interested in his claim as well.’
The man had said that all ’lost souls’ ended up working at his establishnt. Did that an I would be able to see all the hunters that entered this place but were not able to find their way out?
"Are you done thinking? Then, let’s go."
The extended hand was not put down for even a second, and I gave it a look before I walked past the man.
I turned around to look at him but never once did I reach out toward the hand extended toward .
"Are you not going to start walking? I am interested to see the place you told
about."
I told the man, and he quickly followed . He was now sure that I was not going to take his hand, so he put it down.
But his gaze that looked at
changed because of this as well. He looked more cautious and way less friendly.
"I don’t know what you have against , dear friend. But you should have taken my hand when you decided to follow . That would have made your life much easier. Now, I might not be able to protect you."
The man told
with an almost remorseful voice. Not that I felt afraid because of that.
"Is that so? Well, I have good news for you. There is no need for you to protect
because I will be just fine. Now, shall we head out?"
I asked the man, and he walked in front of
with an unhappy look on his face, and we moved through the city.
People gave
startled glances, almost as if they could sll my strong scent and were startled by it. But I could not sense anyone’s secondary gender here.
These people did not have classifications like alpha, beta, and oga. The world here was much more equal and yet foreign to .
"We are here."
The man told
as he stopped in front of the tallest buildings around. I could not see the end of the tower even when I looked up, and the man I followed simply walked toward the tower before he looked back at .
"Are you not going to co inside? Rember, I offered you protection, but you are the one who turned it down. Whatever is going to happen now will be your fault."
The man told , and I nodded before I entered the building.
Even though I was already in a dungeon, entering the building felt like I was entering another dungeon. Once again, a new world waited for
in front of my eyes.
But the monsters here weaved themselves human flesh, and their eyes looked at
with curiosity, wanting to know who I was.
"Hey Kana, who’s the new face? One of yours? Man, he looks good. Can I have him for one night?"
Soone asked, and my guide, Kana’s face soured. I could not tell whether it was because soone dared to call out to him or it was because he was still sour about
not taking his hand.
Whatever the case was, my guide kept his face neutral when he answered the question he was being asked.
"My guest here isn’t open to getting courted by you all. So if you want to try and take him, you are free to try. Just make sure you do not cause
any trouble."
The guide seed to have abandoned
and was only leading
around to gain attention. I could understand that much for sure.
Clearly, he had felt offended because I had chosen to reject him, but I had no regret in my eyes, telling others that I did not feel bad about my decision.
"Huh-! Your guest... rejected you? The great Kana everyone ends up falling for? Is your ego alright?"
Soone taunted, and I watched as Kana clenched his hands in anger. Marks of crimson appeared on his hand, but he kept his cool as he worked through his anger.
"That was rather funny. But at least I still have people who are willing to associate with , unlike you all. Now, I should take my leave now. I need to get my guest settled in."
