Episode Six: Dungeon Challenge Part 1

I also had a water bottle for Roy on my way to the dungeon. It was unusual when I gave it to him,

"It does make sense to rehydrate. Thanks."

and was normally appreciated.

I was so surprised to see if I could even come by storm.

We've had that interaction and now we're at the entrance to the dungeon.

I'm arriving, but I'm not in.

Is that why?

Because there are two gatekeepers.

It's like a cave in the middle of a mountain is the entrance to a dungeon, but there's a fully armed soldier on the left and right side of the entrance, watching at the entrance, and proceeding into the dungeon.

"Roy, what are you gonna do?

"Strong breakthrough"

... Huh?

Killing people for an arm test?

I just can't do that.

"What are you thinking? You're not gonna kill that gatekeeper, are you? The gatekeeper might come out of the dungeon, 'cause he's a monster watch."

You're not?

Well, good.

But as long as those two gatekeepers are around, it's hard to get in.

"So what are we gonna do?

"That's where Hal comes in."

Me?

What are you gonna make me do?

... Are you willing to go in there and take my place by saying you caught a bandit or something?

"So what are you thinking? Strengthen our bodies with Hal's magic, use magic without chanting, burn even a little in the trees, and break through while we're attracting the gatekeeper's eyes to you."

Ooh!

That's a good idea!

...... hmm?

But wait, okay?

"So it didn't make sense to disguise me?

"So think about it for a second. We're not the only ones in the dungeon, are we?

Oh, sure.

You're oddly smart even though you're the same age as Roy.

Let's admit it honestly there.

Yeah.

Roy, you're great!

"Okay. So you want to go?

That's what I do. I do the magic of physical strengthening to Roy and myself.

And... dokah!

Unleashing magic without chanting, he hit a tree a little further from the gatekeeper and burned it out.

"What!? The tree just burned out!?

"Is that a demon!?

The two gatekeepers were suddenly surprised that the tree burned, and they felt there.

At that moment we ran with a strengthened body.

I ran, and I ran!

And I threw it.

"Stay."

"Absolutely, what are you doing?

"No, 'cause it's hard to get light here and it's giddy, so it's cocky and cocky (...) It's just..."

"... don't say anything boring. Let's go."

I didn't say it in a chalet......

Looking back, there was no sign of the gatekeepers.

Probably still looking at the burnt tree.

In that way, we were able to safely enter the dungeon without the gatekeeper finding us.
