We agree to exchange loved ones with each other.

"Thank you"

"There's nothing to be thankful for. It's not uncommon to kill each other if you live in a world like this. If you're weak, you die. If you're unlucky, you die. It's a shitty world, but there's only despair. It's not hell. The meeting sucked, but you don't have to suck afterwards. If we're good friends, it's easier to live together."

Well, ideally speaking, though.

"... Again, there is only Bae..."

Huh? What, all of a sudden?

"Bae, I need you to fold in."

Something gives me a serious look. You're clever everywhere, really.

……………

I didn't speak up, I encouraged ahead with my eyes.

"Bae, do you know the dungeon?

"Well, I know it's because it's my hobby to hear Adventure Tan, but I don't know him very well."

Some ancient ruins, ancient magician's laboratories, or places where demons have settled in the land that has sealed the demons, are called dungeons.

"Our Master is called the Dungeon Master"

Huh? Dungeon master? What the hell?

"... Wah, Wally, I have no idea what that's like..."

Is it the Lord of the Dungeons, Nushi, or is it administratorial?

"Simply put, it's the name of a species."

"... Race? Dungeon master is the race? Is that equimon?

What, that? I have no idea.

"I don't know how to analogize it, but the master's description says it's a non-organic organism, close to the golem"

Not at all. Refreshing wakalimasane.

"I'm sorry. As a matter of fact, we, no, the master himself, do not know very well. But I'm pretty sure the body is a dungeon where people say it is, and it feeds on life energy."

... What, the guy who can follow something strange is an even more unusual equimon thing...?

"As, well, okay, what about the area. Well, what does the Dungeon Master say?

"Please, save our master"

And even if you can keep your head down, this one's like, 'Huh?'. If anyone understands this, he's a pervert.

"... hey, that doesn't make any sense, it turns my head, why are you telling me? It's not normal. Admittedly, I'm just a villager. It's just a kid. Well, if you want me to eat something because I'm hungry, I'll have a full tummy, but from the way you say it, you're a dick, aren't you? What the hell are you telling me to save?

Tell that to a brave man or hero. Don't tell the villagers.

"I understand you're saying you can't. But no one is going to kill us and talk to each other like this."

"I just didn't kill him because I didn't need to, and if I could talk, I thought it would be quicker to talk"

You're not a demon acting like an instinct, it's what smart people do when they tell you to talk. It's a human strength.

"Yes, I'm asking you because you can think about it"

"It's against my doctrine to refuse a friend's favor, but I'm not arrogant enough to say I can't do it. Besides, I don't know anything about words like that. I don't know what that means!

There's more to the mess than that, not at all.

"Then, for once, meet the Master. Talk to the master. Please."

I have a feeling it's going to be some kind of sugamendo xee, but it doesn't feel good to abandon Dachi either.

"I get it. I'll meet that master."

"Thank you! Bae!"

Damn, what are you doing, I...
