Kyuuketsu Hime wa Barairo no Yume o Miru

near Ara, capital of the Amitian Republic.

20 tiers of a huge underground labyrinth (dungeon) consisting of 70 layers commonly known as "The Princess's Pitfalls".

Located at the deepest end of the beginner (Newbie) hierarchy, on the floor where the first floor boss, also known as a beginner killer, reigned, an adventurer who still left the boy's face in colour had slashed a swarm of skeleton dogs under one knife.

"Damn, you mess around!

It's frustrating but not disturbing.

A boy who handles skeleton dogs accurately that are attacked one after the other.

I should say the power of the sword rather than his arm.

Deep underground, you can clearly see it under the lights of the subterranean labyrinth (dungeon) of the strange structure where the ceiling itself shines. The long sword was a demonic sword of exorcism that emitted white magical light.

Normally, the only thing that can hold a demon sword is a knight or a nobleman. Rich enough, or an arm-written adventurer, but the boy's identity is simply a simple outfit that protects the standard leather armor of a common adventurer with protective equipment reinforced with metal plates to his essentials.

For an adventurer of this age, it is first and foremost a superior category, but nevertheless the Devil's Sword in his hand is irrelevant.

Eventually, as he swept away the skeleton dog that was around him, the boy wiped his face sweat with the back of his hand and sighed looking around.

"... did you haggle with the assault dosa after all? Ma, Fiore's guy was with the Johnsons team, so I'm sure he'll be fine..."

But you'll be worried - at the same time, I think I left my luggage and food with the baggage carrier (porter) of the team over there, and I'm currently at an unknown admirable loss. I'm starting to feel just as dark thinking about going ahead.

"That? What are you doing, Joey? In here?

To such a place, a voice rang the silver bell to which I was accustomed.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"- Delicious. Delicious."

Looking more obsessed than a hungry little ghost (goblin), he watches Joey tuck in one sandwich after another taken out by Scarlet Snow with a mixed look of awkwardness and emotion, pouring pot of tea into the container removed from the storage back and giving it away.

"I'll stuck you in your throat with so much guts. - Yes, tea. Don't burn me because I'm hot."

"Whoa, Thankyou! Yeah, this is delicious, too. And I feel tired."

Joey carries a pile of sandwiches and shoe cream into his puckered mouth with momentum I don't know if he's tasting it or pouring it in.

"Well, because they both have a slight healing effect on HP.... By the way, why are you in an underground labyrinth?

"Hmm? Yeah, it'll be longer if we talk. We talked about killing 20 tier bosses in conjunction with other C-rank, D-rank buddies, and we got here, and a bunch of skeleton dogs attacked us."

No, thank God. Tasty ~, Joey restarts his meal again.

"... so? What's next?"

"-? No, that's all..."

Scarlet Snow put the story together herself, letting it down to a story that didn't get the guidelines on top of not being long at all.

"In other words, the underground labyrinth (dungeon) here is on the 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th and 60th floors each with a boss room, so it was time for adventurers who wanted to graduate from the beginner (Newby) to join forces to make a team and challenge them.

So, I first thought I'd shoot the boss on the 20th floor so he could use the transfer magic formation and make it a bridge headrest to try the lower floor further in the future, where he got off well until the 20th floor and was unluckily attacked by a massive flock of skeleton dogs before finding a boss room. So with the Devil's Sword of Light, you're the most warriorly effective one to say, 'I'll take on the aftermath, you guys back off!' Or hustled, and when I realized it, I left it and ate it - something like that?

"... were you watching?

"You don't have to look. Not at all... courage and recklessness are different, huh? If I lived that way, then I'd die - oh, you've already been through it. Then you can't fix it anymore..."

Scarlet Snow sighs, looking at Joey with his eyes at an incurable patient.

Joey's didn't have the wind he noticed, and when he finished his last sandwich, he said, "A treat. It was delicious!" I rubbed my fully rounded stomach.

"Oh dear.... oh, you have cream around your mouth or something"

I don't know if I'd keep it about the eighth minute of my belly on a normal battlefield, or something like that, Scarlet Snow was a race handkerchief, and I wiped around Joey's mouth in a worthy way with the intention of even dealing with my handy brother.

"Oh hey!?... don't do it. With such a tall handkerchief..."

"I don't mind. Handkerchiefs are filthy."

To the smell of handkerchief perfume and the sweet scent of the girl, her supple posture at a distance that she could hold if she reached out, Joey's eyes, lost sight everywhere to mislead her doggy, reddened face, found a heavy stone door visible right at the end of the woods there.

"That. - Could it be the boss's room on the 20th floor?!?"

Follow that gaze. Scarlet Snow also returns to his posture and turns to you.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah. This is the boss's room. Stay away from me because it's dangerous."

"Heh..."

Joey gets up and starts fluttering and walking in that direction.

Gassi! and his shoulder grabbed from behind.

"What are you listening to? You just took care to stay away from me because I'm not in danger of solo!

"No, why do you want to see it nearby because of it? And that's... uh... I'm off the team team, right? Then you'd have to be in a prominent spot to rendezvous with the team, wouldn't you? Hmm, the most prominent thing here would be over there. Oh, yeah, that's more or less what we're here for. Then why don't you just wait over there?

It's simply Joey's excuse for wanting to go out of curiosity and just having thoughts in his mouth, but it's also certain that it's the best way to think rationally.

Well, it would be safe if Scarlet Snow came with me and turned back, but I'm not going to interfere with the adventurer's work that far, and it's like being the boss behind an underground labyrinth (dungeon) in the first place, so it's a funny story if you think about treating adventurers as if you know them.

Scarlet Snow, who decided so, probably agreed.

"... sure. But never go inside the gate."

"'Cause it's okay. Trust me."

Scarlet Snow walked out after Joey, a bouncing foothold, feeling a not-so-slight anxiety on her face like a child who had received a new toy.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Hey, is this the gate that leads to the boss room? You're a little out there."

At the end of climbing a staircase at the wall, Joey mouths his thoughts with a rare view of a gate about 2.5 meters high - a completely open one with no doors to say.

"Well compared to the labyrinth of dust. Going downstairs is gonna cost me more and more. - Where are you going?!?

Scarlet Snow rushes to stop Joey, who began to climb the stairs, but with a flat face when he was there,

"No, because of that, let's take a look inside."

At the end of the gate, point to the end of the stone aisle.

"So even if I have a demon sword that says it's your strength, I'm telling you not to go in there because it's hard to solo!

Scarlet Snow walks past Joey at once and arms him up the stairs.

"Whatever you say, it would be dangerous to be rolling outside.... maybe the guys on the team are here before me, and it would be bad if you didn't check it out?

………

Joey passed by a light foothold, beside Scarlet Snow, who seemed silent when he could not argue.

"... mmm. Just a little bit."

"Daijbu. Because it's just the entrance. Just get in there for a second, and you'll never get in the back."

It's like a conversation with your beginner daughter, a woman, a bad man, but the person is an extremely weather capable thing, and there is no such thing as this, no malice or calculation.

Its naturally deceived scarlet snow followed Joey by loosening his arms in a shabby, broken form.

There was no such person as happiness or unhappiness, although if there were a third party in the world who cared less about the inadvertence of the boxed itself, it would almost embarrass (but) the courtesy and its lightness.

The stone corridor, by the way, is lit by magical canteras, so the sight is not so bad, but still there is a shade out of the light.

Vigilant of the unintended blow, Joey asked Scarlet Snow, remembering.

"Hey, can't you use that light magic you used before?

"I can use it... but if you seem to be careful, why don't you turn around? I've come all the way back here, but nobody seems to be here."

I know you're worried about me, but I feel like I'm being treated like a child, and Joey, half-witted, went ahead with Zunzun without asking me to do any more.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Is this where the boss is?"

Luckily there didn't seem to be any monsters along the way, a little hall where we went to the deepest without any problems and a stone door with a kannon opening at the poke. I guess it goes hand in hand with the rest stop, there was a compartment lined up in front of the hall.

"That's right. Open up here and meet the boss. If it's your gear, there's not a single one."

"Yeah, I know. Are you sure the boss is a golem?

"You're a metal golem. It's basically the same as the guy in the dust labyrinth, but on top of being two times bigger in size, it's made of steel, so it doesn't go through a normal sword or anything. If I were to kill him, I'd have to deal damage with a heavyweight strike weapon, or make a move with the magic of a powerful lightning strike system and attack my weaknesses. - Then that'll be enough. Let's go back."

Oh, okay - Joey's reply was inadvertently blocked.

"Whoa, I don't think so."

"In front of you, I want you to go ahead"

"Don't move. I wish I could spare this woman's life."

When was it sneaking behind my back, three poorly resembled men with blades in their hands, surrounded by scarlet snow?

"- Friends?

You don't know what's going on, Scarlet Snow leaning down on swallows with his sword tip flanked by his neck and heart.

Meanwhile, some familiar guy somewhere, Joey, frowned in surprise, but saw the face of one of them and there was something flashing.

"You guys...... Schmidt!! of the team Red Scarf Brigade!

"You remembered, kid. It was worth the effort."

A man who was a former adventurer's team leader gave a distorted laugh.

Unlike just a short while ago, when he was an adventurer, that rough figure and look is that of a bandit, no matter what.

"... What you were up to, was it me? Then Hyuki won't have anything to do with it, get that hand out of my way!

"Stupid or not, you don't know where you stand. You think I'm in a position to give orders?

That's right, Schmidt. He moves his sword against the neck of Hitahita and Scarlet Snow.

"Knock..."

Joey is shown the critical situation we are currently in again and gets a groan out of our mouths.

I guess I lowered my drink to the look of Joey like that. Schmidt perplexed that he hadn't even been asked.

"I was kicked out of the Alliance because of the others in front of me, and whatever rank I raised because of it, it's Paa. I was going to clear my grudges one day, but I heard you'd conveniently enter the underground labyrinth (dungeon). I've been watching you for so long. It's convenient to break up with the team and be alone with the woman. I hid in the small room while they were snuggling and watched for a chance. The place is the place, no one will suspect you even if you're dead in front of us here.... Well, I'm sorry I wasn't with the other woman."

"No, no, brother. This is a hell of a lot better than the sorceress over there."

"Oh, I'm sorry about your chest."

For a moment, Joey's eyes caught the blue muscle floating on Scarlet Snow's forehead, looking directly in the front.

...... yeah. Let's not talk about breasts in front of him.

Or should I say I prefer tiny breasts?

Scarlet Snow opened her mouth, in a somewhat white tone, troubled by the idea of being dumb - bored by the appearance of being taken hostage.

"... er, which one of these should I do as far as I'm concerned?

Joey, who returned to me all the time, shouts a sad cry.

"Evil. It's on me. I'm sure I'll help! So just stay still now!

"Still, yeah. Yes, yes."

"Hang on. As always, just the momentum is good. Well, I think it's time for you to get screwed before then. - Open the back door. Let's get the boss's golem opponent. They say if you kill the boss, the chest will come. Good fight at best."

Daimyo, I'm sure we're alert to being fought back with our own hands directly.

Indirectly, it would be a stomach to take a high look at Joey getting killed by his boss and lower his drinks, or, in case he seemed to kill him, kill Joey from behind and plunder the crate if the corresponding damage was done.

Joey, who bit his lip off, puts his hand on the door behind his back, as he is told.

The door opened more lightly than I could imagine from the thickness of its appearance.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

At the end of the door, which was left open (this floor and the boss room on the 30th floor are retractable; after the 40th floor it will not be possible to escape until the door is closed and the battle is mounted), a metal golem, squatted in the middle of a stone room about the size of a theatre, rose in response to the approaching Joey, in an unexpectedly smooth motion.

It's more like a black iron sphere joint doll than a golem. Its head captures Joey.

In the middle of his head, which had no eyes, no nose, no mouth, was fitted with a red stone of clenching fists, which reflected the brilliant downpour of light from the ceiling, emitting a heterogeneous glow.

Joey, pulling out his hipster demon sword as he advanced to the center of the room, accidentally roared as he saw that red stone half way above his own gaze.

"- Is this the metal golem? He said he had a weakness... where is it?

"" "" You'll see (you will)!!

Four people who were watching from the entrance accidentally zucked and at the same time put in a scratch.

"It's in my head! Red stone! That's the weakness!

Scarlet Snow tells Joey, who twists his neck, the answer directly.

"... hey, aren't you tired of hanging out with a guy like that?

Schmidt with smudges and sympathy for some reason.

"... Indeed. I'm dying to quit my future relationship."

Scarlet Snow also agreed by holding back around the temples.

At that time, Joey, who ran out with the voice of temper, waved down his sword at the foot of the metal golem.

Kickin '! and the sound of a golden floor and a hammer meeting caused a slight scratch on the slashed area.

The painless golem waves his right hand down unconstitutionally.

A blow from his swinging arm puts a hole in the floor and creates a crack in the wall, but Joey puts a haircut through it. Sometimes he waves his sword, but of course in his arms he does not have the power to be given an effective attack.

The situation has fallen into this state of clothing, but what has irritated me is the three idiots of the former team, the Red Scarf Brigade, who was watching.

Seeing that it was not revealing, he pressed his sword tip hard with a slight elasticity into Scarlet Snow's chest.

"What a troll! Let's get this over with!

Sigh scarlet snow. The dress I'm wearing right now is not as good as "The Rose of War," Ann of Guyastein, "but it's clean LV99 equipment. There's no way I can scratch one of these Namakuras.

But the moment Joey's attention missed, not knowing it, the metal golem tackle was properly decided and the boy's body jumped like a bow.

Scarlet snow tried to get forward by shaking off the people around him, but he sighed relieved at how Joey stood up as he fluttered.

"You bitch! Why don't you be quiet!

I look back with my bottom cold eyes at the threesomes sticking out their swords towards Scarlet Snow, who tried to move on their own.

The eyes glowed red.

"You're the ones who get in the way. I was wondering if you could keep your mouth shut for a moment."

As soon as that happens, Schmidts immobilize upright on the spot as if they swallowed a stick.

"- Moo-yao. I'm sorry, but will you dump them around where they have the right carnivorous monsters?

In response to his voice, the shadow at Scarlet Snow's feet turned into a long, dark knight.

The kneeling dark knight thanked him and grabbed them all together with one hand unconstitutionally, pulling them straight out with cheats.

Then in a hurry to try to join us, I noticed Joey's increasing light of the Devil's Sword.

- You're waking up to your skills? If so......!

"Joey! Put up your sword and swing it out with the willingness to squeeze your whole body out of your body!!

"Oops!

As they say, without thinking, Joey waved down the Devil's Sword with his whole body.

In a moment, the light of the Devil's Sword became intense for a time, from which the slaughter of light flew, hitting the head of the impending metal golem - the red stone of weakness, crushing it brilliantly.

When Joey, who pulled back in recoil, managed to raise his head only, the metal golem fell apart on the spot like a broken doll, a fanfare rang from nowhere and a chest of "whatever” came out from under the floor where the golem was.

"... someone, this is what I thought. You ruined my nervousness."

Stopped by Joey, who collapsed with a bump, to cure Scarlet Snow.

"Sa, Thankyou. - Is that it? What about them??

"Oh, you won, so I ran away with no fear. - To hell, specifically."

"Hmm? Where?

"It's nothing. Because of that, why don't you open the chest?

With a face I noticed when I was told, Joey gets up and makes sure there's no abnormality in her body and approaches the crate.

"What's in there?

"Come on? It's random around here."

I was so excited to open it, it contained metal upper body armor.

"Whoa, that's protective gear! I wanted this."

From Scarlet Snow's point of view, it's just iron armor and hassle, but, well, he's happy in person, okay? That was the feeling.

I was smiling at Joey, who was quickly removing the leather armor he was wearing and equipping him, and the shadow at his feet inadvertently dawned.

"... Oh, thank you. Hmm, to the nest of carnivorous spiders.... Oh, I see, that must be the main team"

If you look from the side, Joey looks suspiciously at Scarlet Snow like he's bumping into himself.

"What's wrong?

"No, apparently there are signs that your team is approaching this entrance, what are we going to do? The boss here plays in 15 minutes though. I guess it would be more convenient to go back and fight the boss again on the team and sign up for the metamagic team in the back first."

"Oh well. Then I'll sign up and then I'll be back. What are you gonna do?

Joey asks while checking the weight and ease of movement of the new armor, wondering why Scarlet Snow is here.

"I have business going down after this. I'll do something else here."

Scarlet snow gently shrugging her shoulders.

"Oh, well, be careful."

"That's my dialogue."

With that said, the two of us go all the way to the back aisle.

With his hands on the central crystal (crystal) of the Transition Magic Formation, which was in the poking chamber, Scarlet Snow hung his feet on the stairs descending to the next floor, confirming Joey, who had registered his magic.

"Then I'll be back before the boss springs up again!

"Oh, be careful"

Well, Scarlet Snow waves at Joey trying to turn her back quickly and run out of this scene, thinking that the Devil's Sword is now available and will be fine.

"Bye!

This one waved back, and Joey gently went back the way he had just come.

"- Joey's getting more and more alone, too. Well, how far has this array grown?

In anticipation of the evolution of the intended opponent, Scarlet Snow also went down the underground labyrinth (dungeon) in footsteps like a walk.

By the way, it's also a good experience that Joey, who was a sucker for running out of MP in an earlier blow, failed to use the same skills in his second boss fight to show a gap and was lightly beaten up by a metal golem.
