Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

After a blissful meal, we began to inspect our equipment and supplies.

I was looking at the notebook as usual, but that's when my finger touches the cover wound.

When I closed the notebook and looked at the wound, I kind of felt like it was getting bigger than then.

This wound...... still bothers me.

Levi also said there were no such scratches, and I hope nothing...

"Nooo..."

Mr. Grawdy is roaring when he sees the blade spilled sword "Tsugu".

Apparently it was higher than the sword I broke in the final of the martial arts tournament, Tsugu, but it seems to be getting pretty rattled in the streak against the monsters.

"I don't know if this is going to be a replacement... but it's taking longer than I expected. I've never seen a monster so active."

I've been using Richvek and my powers to avoid monsters, but still, we've been under constant attack.

Sometimes it's more inevitable than being in a limited space called a dungeon, of course, but it seems to be targeted precisely from time to time... I even feel that way.

That seems to have been felt by Mr. Graudi as well, who usually said he would never be so attacked.

"But you don't come when you're stopping like this, do you?"

"Yes... I don't know that"

Jill shakes her neck as she brushes her spear.

In fact, now neither me nor Richvek feels a monster approaching.

I have stopped many times before to take a break, but I have never been attacked.

"The influence of the god beast... or power."

"Does Master Grawdy think the Divine Beast is manipulating it?

"Oh, this has never happened before. If you're gonna give me a reason, that's all I can think of."

If this is the ability of the Divine Beast, it will still have tremendous power.

Suppose the first winged claw dragon species (Wyburn) and Zoilerve were also manipulated by the divine beast...

"The god beast has already noticed us... so we should think and move"

"Right...... okay, let's take turns sleeping. Lord and Levy go to bed first. Me and Jill, I'll keep an eye on you in Richvek."

"I don't mind being alone..."

"There is, but you don't move your thoughts and your body satisfactorily when you wake up. You should stay awake half the time."

"I see. Yes, I do..."

"You should rest upstairs. Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on him."

"Then sweeten to your words...... let's go Levi"

"Yes, Lord"

Go upstairs, open the door and enter the bedroom.

I don't know how, but the dusty floors were cleaned clean and perfectly clean to the bed.

I take off my armor and roll into bed and next to it Levy lays down too.

Levi pillowed on my arm and was small and round to lean against me.

... cute.

"You're almost there... Dear Lord"

That's how Levi shrugged in a voice that seemed to disappear.

The Divine Beast is probably pretty strong.

I guess Levy knows that too.

"Right..."

"I knew I was worried. Lord will soon be impotent."

"Mm... sorry"

"Pfft... so I will protect Lord"

"Ha... thanks... Levi"

"Yes... Ah, so to speak... you've got an increased level of life magic"

"Oh, I knew it. I knew it somehow... but it's like being able to do magic without having to touch it... like that?

"Yeah, it's about three meters in range, but it can give you life without touching it."

"Three meters... could be quite convenient. I need to practice."

"Right. But let's take a break now... huh?

"Oh...... right"

That's how we fell asleep after layering our lips.

――――――――――――――――――――――

"Hey, Jill."

"What?

Grawdy looked at me with rare and serious eyes.

This... is his eye when he fights.

"Worst case scenario... I'm going to miss just those two. It's good to see you then."

I see......

"Fine. But the god beast is also on the road. I'm just gonna die."

"I know. I'm sorry I wasted my life, too. Besides, it's not bad with you."

"Ho... I didn't expect such a line from you. Have you fallen in love with me?

"Ha... stop it, idiot. It's just the old rotten edge."

"Huh... well, don't you mind..."

"Is that it?... Are you in love with me?

"Let it soak..."

Grawdy was on my side when I was accused of Siege and when my mother died.

I appreciate this guy for a few things.

"Those two are... I believe that the world needs them. I guess that's why I'm here now..."

"Sure... I feel similar now"

I didn't trust him very much at first, but now I'm ashamed of myself then.

A few days ago, the spectacular past of Lord heard from Grawdy after the two slept, as they do now......

I couldn't believe it, but I could understand it to be true because of the seriousness of Graudi.

The load is strong, gentle, and always forward.

I guess Levi saves it and watches over it.

With me tied up in the past...... I'm just ashamed to compare.

"How'd it go talking to your dad a while back?

"Mm-hmm... well..."

"It wasn't even a maniac, was it?

This guy... can you even read in people's minds?

"Shit... that's weird"

"Ha ha... well, I guess your dad had some thoughts too... I don't think that guy would throw it all away without thinking about it. You know that, don't you?

Sieg said "don't move" at first.

But when I tried to leave, I said, "I can't move."

Still, I couldn't forgive it.

But it's a little different now.

"I can't believe the world condemned me... I guess I didn't care for that guy. There must have been something more... including your mum."

"... oh"

Now I want to talk to that man... again with my father.

When this is over......

"Hey, when this is over, let's go to your dad. I'll follow you, too."

"Hey, why...!

"Nice. Nothing. Well, that's settled."

"Kim, you're on your own!

"Hey, if you make too much noise, you two will wake up. Hey, Richvek."

"Phew... and you two are like lovers to each other"

"" Please don't. ""

I'm not kidding...

――――――――――――――――――――――

Having taken a break, we followed the private house with the dawn of this dungeon.

Mr. Graudi said that the goal of the urban dungeon is in the heart of the castle, which stands in the centre.

There's a giant demon stone there, and when you touch it, they move to the deepest part.

Mr. Grawdy saw the Divine Beast moving ahead with its demonic stones... I mean, if only he'd crossed that castle, he'd be the Divine Beast...

"I can get to the castle without a problem, but there are dragons flying around it, and there's a lot of demons inside. It's like we're even fighting a siege. They keep fighting. They don't get along well here either. I'm going in with that gap."

"It's quiet for that... I can hear you squeaking"

"Oh...... it's not weird to hear more combat noises usually. I mean..."

"The influence of the god beast… we have to think about dealing with him at the same time"

"That's likely. Come on, keep your head down."

"Expel the Divine Beast by the end of the day. I'm gonna go with that."

We nod at each other and continue towards the castle, visible from the gap of the building.

For some reason on the road, there was no monster at all, and as Mr. Graudi said, we could reach the castle without any problems...

"This guy... that's more than I expected..."

The centre of the city is an open space, with a large castle sitting in the middle of it.

And it wasn't just the dragon around it... it even looked like a demon.

Dragons and demons surround themselves to protect the castle without attacking each other.

It's an impossible sight.

"Are all the monsters in this urban dungeon concentrated...? I've never seen anything like this before."

"We work together to protect the castle... this god beast has so much power... no, so much existence?

"Levi...... can a god beast do this too?

"I don't know...... what I relative was like a giant pig or lion, but it was supposed to be the righting of destruction like destroying a town and immersing itself in joy...... It did have powerful powers, but things like being able to follow demons and dragons..."

What is God Beast doing in the dungeon in the first place?

Sounds like something different from what the world calls a god beast...... I feel that way.

When it suddenly appears, it wields mighty power, a catastrophe that does everything possible to destroy it.

That must have been what they called the Divine Beast.

But this guy...

"My lord, it's Taruji."

"Back in sight."

Fragarach and Hadith, who were putting them out for reconnaissance, returned.

Fragarach has a perimeter, Hadith has a look inside.

"How'd it go with you both?

"Ha... the surroundings are filled with monsters and I was wondering if it would be difficult to break through..."

"It's amazing inside. If you don't get rid of the signs and you can fly, you'll be turned into a piece of meat in an instant."

"Really... is it possible to break through with the power of Hadith alone?

"Uhm... because my power will be lifted if I touch it... even if there are demons in the narrow castle! That's about it. I can't say for sure."

"There's only one entrance to the castle... there's probably a hell of a square in the center with demonic stones. Now, what are we going to do..."

Isn't it still so sweet?

Then we just have to call it out and reduce the number.

"Mr. Grawdy, Mr. Jill... Levi, please"

"Dear Lord..."

I'm sorry, Levi.

"No way you......!

"Yeah, I'll take them."
