Athena dived into the dungeon that morning.

The dungeon was connected to a shallow groundwater vein, and magical water erupted from everywhere.

In an environment where water was soaked down to the waist, Athena ran a short run and advanced from back to back.

"Hahhhhh ... oh, finally we can move while defeating monsters."

And behind her was Karen, who easily walks through the water.

"Congratulations, Princess Athena. It's a step forward."

"Yeah. Thanks for watching over, Karen. I didn't think fighting while moving was so hard."

Until now, Athena has only practiced increasing the power of magic.

But when I dive into the dungeon, I realized that it was not enough.

"I'm getting rid of my sister and monsters easily, but it was difficult."

"That's right. Dianaia has the power to shoot down dragons, so she is outstanding among humans."

"Yeah, I have to be an apprentice."

Athena moves forward, nodding to Karen's words, but each step is heavy.

It was the musician that, even though he was exhausted due to the water at his waist, the water contained magical power.

"... I'm surprised again that the magical water feels so heavy."

"Because it's normal for a normal person to get drunk or squeezed by the magic in the water and get stuck when he / she immerses his body ... Princess Athena has become quite strong."

Athena recalls that she didn't run well in this dungeon at first.

The body responded to the magical powers in the water, making them stiffer and trying to absorb the magical powers excessively.

"If you don't have such a dungeon, I was going to buy lots of cheap potions to build a water hole and train in it, but the natural ones are still the best."

"Ah ... it was sudden, so it took a while to move."

Even now, Athena thinks dungeons are a scary place, as if you're still losing your attention, you're likely to get lost.

"I mean, is there anyone who can move freely in this? Your sister seems to be OK."

"Dianaia is okay. And if it's something that isn't a person like us, will it be?"

"Is that the King of Dragons?"

"Yes, it's almost the same as ordinary water for us. After that ... if you're more than us, it would be easy to move freely."

Karen looked up at the void and said,

Athena knew who she was thinking by her actions alone.

"Ah, Daichi's brother seems to be fine. He brought me juice of great magic before."

"It's really out of standard because you can drink it and stay calm."

After saying that, Karen looked at her hands and squeezed.

"If you're talking, you'll want to meet Daiichi. It's likely you'll soon be withdrawing."

"Ahaha. Karen is excited to recall Daiichi's brother at night. It looks like Anne-san."

Speaking, Karen looked a little bitter.

"It's kind of weird to be compared to that girl, but I'm not going to deny it."

Karen, who had always calmed down when he was in the first royal capital, has become very expressive since he took the power of Daiichi.

The thorns are gone and it looks like it's very round.

: Just because it's round doesn't mean it's not severe.

I think this is a favorable change for Athena. in addition,

"Yeah, I understand Karen's feelings. I also want to meet Daiichi."

It's hard not to be able to meet someone you long for, even though there are so strong and gentle people nearby.

But I know that it is not good to throw this training halfway

... I can't go to see him in such a sad state.

So Athena thinks we can do it to be stronger.

"... for the moment, is the back of this dungeon connected to the forest?"

"Yes, it's quite advanced."

"Then, if you do your best, you can meet Daiichi!"

When you think so, your motivation is back.

Athena gets up after exhaling.

"Now, the break is over. Karen, I'm going a little further!"

"Yes, I am also watching closely. Please do my best, Princess Athena."

Then, Athena and Karen go deep into the dungeon.
