There was something at the entrance to the dungeon that we reached after rock climbing.

A strange creature with a black spherical object attached to its torso.

In addition to the eyes and mouth, its black mass, which appears to be the head, is lined with three many-round noses and cheeks.

"Welcome to the Cave of Courage! Brave men need what they need most! That's courage! So let me test your courage from now on! Oh, I'm Ann Amman, the mascot character of this trial!

"Anne Ohnman?

"No, I'm not! It's Ann Amman!

Apparently, that head, it's all made of filling.

"By the way, you're out there, you're crushed inside!

I wonder why I wrapped the filling in the filling......

Acorns shine their eyes,

"Wow! If you're hungry, will you feed me a thousand pieces of your face?

"Huh? It's my parents' job to raise dinner, isn't it? Why would I have to do that?

... They won't give it to me.

"And he cuts his face a thousand times or wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"

Ann Ohn Man is so dis......!

"I mean, why is there such a parocharacter in this world!? And it's terrible!

"... it's going to be a trauma for the kids"

You should apologize to your teacher.

"I don't want you to be the only one dressed like that, though, do I? That's brave enough already, isn't it? You don't need a trial, do you?

Even I didn't want the guy stripping out the filling just to tell me.

'Master, these are the words. "Both."

"... rather than being courageous, it's just a broken function to feel ashamed...?

And Megumi is the toughest.

"Come on, it's your first challenge! If we can get across to the other side, we're clear!

What was ahead, which Ann Amman pointed out, was a giant hole with a bottom that was like invisible.

Several pillars pierce it, and if you scaffold it, you're going to be able to cross it.

"Wow, I'm scared."

"Ko, this, if you fall, you're going to die...?

"... Hih"

The scaffolding of the pillars is large enough for one person to manage to stand.

The distance between scaffolds is about a meter or two at best, so jumping seems easy to fly around.

Fear, however, stifles your feet.

It does seem difficult to get to the other side if you don't have the courage.

"Don't go from me."

Acorn flies from pillar to pillar.

"Hey, you can often be so flat..."

"Oh, Sy, because she doesn't have the head to just feel dangerous..."

……

Scared, but followed by Kyoko and Megumi.

Acorns are already more than half.

Kyoko is also doing just fine with [Swordsman].

The most frightening Megmi I've ever seen, but I've managed to keep going.

All three seem fine in surprisingly high places.

And speaking of me, I was still at the starting point, lying on the ground trying to peek into the skirt that rolled up the moment they jumped.

Punchy! It's a real JK raw punchy!

By the way, right next door, Amman is trying to worship a punchline in the same position.

Oh, my friend of heart!

"What are you doing?!? Die!"

The sword that Kyoko had bun thrown pierced Amman's head.

All four of them safely crossed over to the other shore.

"Well done! The first assignment is complete!

says Amman with a sword stuck in his head.

I guess it doesn't hurt because it's made of filling, but it was so surreal.

"Well, there's going to be a few challenges like this, so good luck with it. (sniffles)"

Amman drops me off wearing a filling nose crap.

Apparently, his role is only in tutorials.

Don't go in there saying you don't need that.

"... that mascot, you didn't need anything else..."

Uh, I said it.

Moving on through the cave.

Then suddenly, my vision darkened.

"Oh, hey, what!? Blackout!?"

"No, there's no electricity from the start."

Until just now, my vision would have been secured with dungeonal mysterious power.

But now it's total darkness.

"Apparently, this is our next challenge."

"This is scary..."

"I don't know which way to go."

"Hey guys are here!? Are you there!?

"I'm here. Sounds like you can hear me for now. Let's go with each other's voices."

"Why, never, don't you leave me!?

Kyoko was fine in high places, but apparently he doesn't like the dark.

"Hih!? hey, i got my hands on something soft!?

"Don't worry. That's me."

"Hey, what is it, you..."

"Except it's my ass."

"No, no, no, no, no!?

"If you're scared, you can grab it, okay?

"Why are you saying this like you're holding hands!?

The darkness lasted for a while and eventually became brighter.

"Complete the second challenge. That was easy."

Furthermore, after that, the challenge will be attacked smoothly.

I'll discount the specifics, but let's just say they were all trial-like challenges of courage, yeah.

And finally, we're on our last assignment.

"You got here a lot. This is where the last challenge comes in."

"Oh, it's Anne Oomman."

Amman appeared again.

Looks like he was ahead of us.

"So, what's it about?

"Heh heh heh, that's... beating me down!

Suddenly Amman's body began to expand.

My muscles swelled up.

The clothes I was wearing bounce and fly.

"This is... O Turtles!

That's right.

Exactly, it is a Turtle ○ person when it emits waves with full power or ○ fitting.

So you're the boss of this dungeon?

"Exactly. If you can defeat me, you will have attacked this test of courage completely. However, if you lose -"

Amman, who became a mucky, tells in a lower voice.

The tone also changed.

"- I'll have you dead here."

Even the ambient air changes.

I mean it.

"Hey, hey..."

"... one, looks strong..."

Unexpectedly lagging behind in its intimidation, Kyoko and Megumi.

But the entrance door is tightly closed and you can't get out of the boss room.

"You can't defeat the Demon King with that?

Mukimuki's Amman steps forward.

and at that time,

"Firelance!"

"- Oh no!?

A flaming spear struck Amman directly in the head.

It is, of course, the acorn of the [wizard] who let it go.

"Hot, hot, hot!?

With his head on fire, Ann Amman tries desperately to extinguish the fire by gobbling over the floor.

"... Huh?

……

Successfully extinguished the fire somehow, Ann Amman stood up.

"Ho, ho. Some of you are quite brave..."

He's strong, but his voice looks painful.

They took a lot of damage with just one blow.

"I'm going to take another shot!

"Oh, hey, Tamma -"

"Firelance!"

"Geez!?

Ann Amman screamed and ran away confused.

"... Could that be him, weak?

"Looks like it."

"I'm telling you to wait!?

"Fire......"

"Ko, surrender! I surrender, no more!

Ann Amman has raised the white flag lightly.

But Acorn ignored it.

"Firelance!"

"You're telling me not to!?

"A filling is delicious when it's cooked and eaten."

"Are you going to eat me!?

"Yeah."

"No, no, no, normally, I would lose my appetite if I saw this look!?

"Nothing?"

"Get rid of it!

Ann Amman has gone back to where he was.

"Huh, not at all, this is why the younger ones these days...... Anyway, I'm very weak on this street. In short, that's a lesson not to be fooled by appearance. Never be frightened and never give up, no matter how mighty they seem to be. This is very important to the brave."

I feel like I'm saying something surprisingly decent.

Apparently, the only thing that seemed strong was appearance, something that could easily be broken through as long as you had the courage to stand up to it resolutely.

"That means..."

"Yeah, the test of courage, you're brilliantly clear! Congratulations!"

Now the first trial seems to be a safe break.

"Hey, I knew I shouldn't eat it?

"I'm telling you no!

"Don't. I baked it because it looked delicious!
