Lesson 2 Let's Make an Underwater Dungeon-3

"Here, I want, here, I want."

"Right, it hurt. Hey, it hurt. Okay, okay, okay."

Marie holds Sophia, who cries and cries, and continues to stroke her head. If she finally thought it had subsided to cry, Sophia complained that it hurt to show her nose as she stared at the oul.

"Sama Oulu"

"... bad"

Marie urges him, and Oul bows his head to the baby as he has subtly unconvincing thoughts. Then Sophia smiled with a full face as if there had been no crying face until earlier.

"Pa! Er, Ri"

"... I'm home"

Even though he is baffled, Oul hugs Sophia.

"You just called me Mom about Marie."

"Stay!"

If Lil asks, Sophia stares at Marie and declares she's good at it.

"So, here it is."

"Pa!"

Oulu distorted his expression with dissatisfaction when he was fingered.

"So what about me?

Lil was excited to point himself at the

"Riru!

"Why not!?

I shouted at Sophia's words.

"... So, what's this all about?"

"I'd rather hear it."

If Oul asks, the faithful user demon points his lips in trouble blurring, "Why am I the only one calling away..."

"Until now, I was just a baby, and suddenly I started standing and talking"

"Then again, it doesn't just mean you're growing faster"

Sophia, whom Oul saw in the morning, was a newborn baby who could neither stand nor speak. But now she walks on her own feet and speaks a word, though one.

"Yeah. Suddenly, I grew from about a year old to about three."

"… possible possibilities are the effects of sea dungeons"

"Because of the influx of magic, you mean?

To Lil's inquiry, Oul nods.

"Dungeon seeds planted in the ocean work as spare cores, but the majority of the magic flows this way.... That doesn't mean it's in the dragon vein, so it's probably not that much, but it's not zero."

"So you're saying that with more magic, Sophia will grow more and more?

"I don't know. I've never heard of anything like a growing being if you instill magic in it in the first place."

If you have magic, you'll be so mighty. If you are, Oul knows too. of spirits and demons. But it was the first time I had seen or heard that intelligence developed according to the amount of magic.

"What the hell are you?

Even if we try to hold our sides and look each other in the eye, Sophia just laughs if she thought she could get us to play. Kids these days still don't have the ability to understand those abstract words.

"I wonder if I'd know if I could grow some more"

"Nevertheless, we can't create a dungeon too aimlessly..."

"Well, let's just have lunch. I tried using this room as a dining room."

Pushing the troubled Oul's back, Lil raised his voice all the brighter.

"Speaking of which, can this kid have dinner?

With a slight eye on Sophia, Lil questions.

At least I haven't spoken of anything since we met, but I haven't even complained about hunger.

"With magic pouring in, you won't starve to death... well, give it a try"

With this year's decree, you should be able to eat something that's not so different from an adult anymore.

Moving to the dining room with the fragrant smell of Lil's baked bread, Marie sits down with Sophia on her lap.

That's when it happened.

"... there he is!

Suddenly, Sophia raised her voice.

"What's going on? Does it hurt anywhere?

"There he is, there he is!

Even as Marie peeks into her face, Sophia repeats the same words, staring at Oul's face and slapping that arm.

"... No way"

Oulu noticed that there was one and hurried back to the dungeon seed.

The magic at your fingertips passes from the dungeon seed to the entire dungeon, echoing.

"Intruder."

Existence as I thought it would be, was there.

"Huh!? I haven't done anything yet!

You must have remembered when Eunice broke in once.

Lil's screaming was the best thing to do.

"It doesn't look like you just got lost... I'm pushing the waterway straight this way."

There is very little to know about the existence of dungeons in this new continent.

"Is that... the guy who was breaking the ship?

"That's likely to happen."

To Marie's inquiry, Oul nodded. That's the only possibility I can think of.

"Wait, I broke the ship!? My demonic ship!?

We'll talk about it later.

Ignoring the noisy lil, Oulu waves, and the domed tsuwasa gathers to become a plate, where a phantom emerges. I saw someone swimming down the waterway at an awesome rate, like a bird flying in the sky.

Bad vision in the water, not knowing who he is because he moves too fast, but it plays the arrow ejected from the wall with ease, snaps the spear coming down from the ceiling, and pushes the tiger child's electric trap without even being an object.

Moreover, he was aiming for the exit of the labyrinth in the shortest possible time that he could only think of a perfect grasp of the structure of the dungeon.

"Not good here. I'll intercept you downstairs. Lil, I asked for Sophia."

"Wait. I'm coming, too."

Lil's body then splits into two parts, one holding Sophia back and one holding a stone fire arrow.

"This would be nice, wouldn't it?

"... good job"

Oul laughs niggardly and cones the ground with a cane-shaped cube. Then the ground glowed in circles and disappeared the next moment.

"Yikes!

I scream and Marie falls to the ground, Lil flutters down and finally comes down the stairs that Oulu was made of cubes. The room expanded greatly to interact with it, transforming itself into a large hall centered on the passage to the sea dungeon.

The hole in the ceiling is closed, and the only way you can call it an exit is through the aisle behind Oulu.

"... Coming"

Water blows out like a geyser from a direct vent and spreads to the ground. What popped up at the same time was a woman with a lower body like a fish.

"Mermaid (Marfolk)...? No. What the hell is this?

It looks like a mermaid, but from the head it grows horns like deer.

Though Oul's known mermaid barely wore clothes that would stand in the way of swimming, the woman was dressed in strange clothes like thin clothes.

And most importantly, the surrounding atmosphere and the amount of magic it possesses are distinctly different digits than just mermaids.

"Tagada, Yuwero!

The woman shouts up and screams something.

It was something even Oulu, who manipulated hundreds of languages, had never heard of, and none had understood the meaning of it on the spot.

I don't even know if it's hostile or friendly.

The only thing I'm sure of was that it wasn't just a howl or a roar that didn't mean anything, it was clearly a word with some intent.

"Who are you? I walked into my dungeon."

Behind Marie and Lil, who stand guarded, Oul asks the woman.

"Tagada, Yuwero......"

Half a fish woman repeats the same words as earlier, but it's also not understandable.

"Lose it. You're stepping into my habitat."

Oul's cube changes shape as he makes a crisp noise, pointing sharply and pointing at the blade as if it were two sickles. It's a clear indication of hostility even if the words don't make sense.

"Ferenanivo!"

Then the woman raised her voice sharply. In response to that voice, splashed sea water around her flies toward the oul as if it were an arrow.

"... okay"

Automatically deployed cubes serve as shields to play and fly water arrows,

"I'll make you regret what you poked at the Demon King."

Oul said so arrogantly.
