We came upstairs. To find Charlotte and Iris.

Somehow the fighting subsided, and now there is a quiet time. Instead, more and more people are falling down... are you okay?

I feel like the people around me are looking at us. Probably because she wears a mask. This mask is eye-catching.

I didn't ask why I was wearing a mask. Maybe that's why you want to hide your identity.

"By the way, is Fine a new adventurer?

"Fine...?

"Ah"

She said so with a sad voice. Probably because I didn't throw it away.

"Fine... are you a new adventurer?

"Huh! I became an adventurer years ago."

You replied. You're a strange person...

I see. So you belong to some kind of guild?

Fine shook her neck to the side.

"I am not a member of an Alliance"

I didn't have a card on her chest, either.

"Then why are you here?

"Of course, to see Mr Lute!

"... hey, hey..."

I'm not glad to hear that from such a beautiful woman!

No, but....

Why would he want to see me like that? I was going to come in for help, but in the end, it just seemed like I was interrupting.

I don't remember. Is there something wrong?

"Here, please. We're having a party with a boy. So I'm sorry."

Hmm...? This voice...

For a moment, I heard an Iris voice, so I looked at you.

There's a crowd.

Going that way, I found Iris and Charlotte in the back.

They are surrounded by a large number of women, with a smile of affection in their troubled faces.

"Ah, Lute!

Iris noticed me.

They split up the crowd and rushed over here.

"What's going on? This crowd."

"Uh-huh. I kind of like it. I refuse...."

Are these people from "Hundreds of Flowers"?

When the women looked at me, they had a blatant disgust on their faces.

"He's partying with us. So I'm sorry."

"... you were really having a party with a man.... okay. Come whenever you change your mind. We welcome you."

That's what they said and pulled up.

Charlotte sighed relieved.

"I'm glad you're here... I almost got into the guild."

If you look closely, a lot of people are falling around. Was there a battle between Charlotte and Iris?

I see. I'm sorry I strayed. "

"Yeah, I'm glad we met soon. - Mr. Lute, who is he?

"Oh, you said you saw someone at the Monster House the other day. That's who he is."

"It's Fine. Thank you very much."

"Nice to meet you! I'm Charlotte!

"I'm Iris. I'm sorry about the lute during this time. I have the contents of the chest."

………

Fine won't answer. I wonder what happened.

"Ah, you know?

Iris said strangely, but Fine talked to me, not her.

"... Mr Lute, are these the same people Mr Lute was talking about earlier?

Yeah, that's right.

"... hey. That's right."

Hmm...? There was something unnatural about the sound of words.

But I didn't understand the expression because of the mask.

"Iris, Charlotte, please take that chest to yours. It was Mr Lute who took down most of the monsters, so don't worry about it."

"Really...? Well then, thank you very much."

"Yes. … So, Mr. Lute, are you just talking to these two people about the decision we just made?

There was some kind of deep suppression... And it's kind of powerful.

"Fine is going with us to the next dungeon. Ready?"

"Eh, why?

"... well, that's..."

I accidentally said it because I was pressed against my chest in a secret room.

"I mean, alone?... what?

Iris has sharp eyes.

"Well, that's what happened!

I told you.

"Hmm...."

Suspected. I'm starting to feel kind of backward.

"Of course I'm okay. Ehehe, I'm looking forward to it."

Charlotte smiled. You look happy.

"Is Fine's mask fashionable? It's cute."

Ah...

Charlotte heard exactly what I didn't hear.

I mean, it's not cute, it's cute...

"Yeah, that's right."

Is that true?

Hmm.... I can't read her feelings without knowing her expression.

"How old is Fine? Both Iris and Lute are fifteen years old."

"Which woman do you prefer, older or younger?

"Huh? Huh? Why?

"I suddenly wanted to know."

Why...

"Hmm. Nothing in particular."

Really? I'm fifteen years old. "

Bye!?

"Same age!

Charlotte seems to have believed...

I think Fine was more of an adult.

"Even though I'm the same age, my tits are amazing. That's nice."

Boo!

Charlotte. What a flat feeling you are... I mean, stop wandering around your chest... There's no place to lose your eyes.

"By the way, which one do you like better, Large or Small? It's very troublesome to be small."

Let's ignore it for now.

"What about Iris?

"Eh!?"

That said, Iris looked down at his chest.

"No, no, no. Natural? It's about the dungeon."

Iris bleached his face red.

"... koh, kohn! Well, if Lute and Charlotte say so, I won't disagree..."

However, does it feel that I do not agree with it?

Well, this mask looks suspicious.

"But we just became adventurers. I can challenge the dungeon with a solo. Does it suit your level?

"Well, then, don't worry. I only go to the beginner dungeon, and my rank is F."

"Really?

"Yes! I'm glad you understand. Fufu, that's great!

She quickly grabbed my hands and squeezed her chest.

"Wow! Fine, Fine?

"Thank you, Mr. Lute!

"Uh-huh. All right, get away from me...."

She let go of me. [M]

Hmm... Maybe this is how it's been all along?

That would be a big deal...

"... hey, Lute...?

Iris is staring at me.

"No, what is it?"

"... nothing"

Iris turned his back.

Oh, my God, I'm kind of mad at you.

"When are you going to the next dungeon?

"I haven't decided yet. I thought it would be better if I joined the Alliance."

Iris said that out of tune.

I see. If it was decided, we could meet... Ah, yes. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a place to stay?

"... no. Actually, there's a lot of lodging around here, and I haven't been able to get it yet."

"I'm so glad! Then..."

Fine slapped her hand.

"--Would you like to stay at my place? I think there were some vacancies. If you could stay with us until the next Dungeon Attack is scheduled, it would be a lot smoother!

The three of us looked at each other.

There is no particular reason to refuse, and we confirm each other verbally.

"Well, then, let's do it.... Shall we go?

"Huh? Enough?

"Yeah, I know you can join any guild."

That's what Iris said, taking something like a ticket out of his pocket and laughing hard and cool.

"Back to the tactical meeting!

…………

……

Soon after that, we left the welcoming party and came to the lonely inn with Fine.

An inn that was well built in the back of an intricate alley, it was a hideout.

The low price and the availability of two rooms meant that we decided to stay here tonight without any particular reason to refuse.

We sat down at the table in the lobby for the first time at a future operation meeting.

Of course, Fine is here. There's nobody here but us, but she was wearing a mask.

"So, what about the Alliance, what do we do? Hundreds of Flowers and Chaos is impossible because of Lute. There are only three guilds left, but you've already got tickets to join each one."

"Join Ticket?

"Yeah."

Iris lined up several pieces of paper about the size of a palm on the table.

"If you take this, you'll be in the guild. Lute who wasn't there will be applied properly, so it's okay."

I see. Thank you. "

Iris and Charlotte seemed to be doing a good job while I was at it.

"By the way, do I have to join an Alliance?

That's what I asked.

"Hmm, it's not like I have to go in, but it's good to raise my rank, it's good to earn money, and there's a lot more to it."

"Hmm. But Fine doesn't belong in the guild."

"Yes! Because I only want to belong to what I admit. I only want to belong to one person in the world, Mr Lute! Number one and only one!

"... ahahaha!

I laughed for now.

... uhh. Iris is looking at me.

What do you want me to do? I'm in trouble too.

"Does that mean that Lute didn't have any guilds to join?

"Hmm, that's right... The" Knights of the Sky "seems to be an organization aiming for [Dragon Knight], so I'd like to stop for a moment. That's why I wanted to do either" Hi Family "or" Split Horizon ", but there was a strange person in both."

Fighter Amon was in "High Family", and Detective Colette was in "Split Horizon".

I see. Let's make it "Hi Family". "

"Eh, why?

"I've heard a lot about it, but Split Horizon has the impression of limiting adventurers' behavior compared to High Families. Anyway, I don't think it's for Lute or Charlotte."

"Split Horizon" is an alliance that recommends attacking the dungeon in the shortest route, "said Leg, head of the Knights of the Sky.

... I see. Iris is right, I want to challenge a dungeon of high difficulty in order to be strong, and Charlotte wants to go to various places.

Above all, your rank must not rise too high. Because there is a possibility that we will be able to look at the country.

That's why the schedules Iris made are the best for us.

And when I compare Ammon to Colette, I still feel that Ammon can handle it. You just have to knock it down.

Colette is probably out of my hands. Like the stupid killer of mystery novels, everything will be exposed in the end.

"How's Charlotte? Do you have any ideas?

"Yeah, I don't know, Iris. I'll leave it to Lute."

"Yes, how's Lute?

"I don't mind" Hi Family, "but it's a lot easier to decide. Is that okay with you?

"Yeah, if it doesn't suit me, I'll just let it go. There are plenty of people who want to change into another guild."

Hmm, that's pretty loose.

All right. If that "Amon" fighter gets involved next time, we'll take him down. Enemy: If I don't know, I won't challenge you.

"Let's go to the base of 'High Family' tomorrow and make a final decision. Can we both do that?

Charlotte and I both agreed.

Well then, let's discuss the next Dungeon Attack!

Even though I couldn't see my expression in the mask, the feeling of waiting came from my voice.

"Actually, the dungeon has already decided on a candidate. The name of the dungeon is" The Puppeteer House "!

What is the name of the murder...? I'm a little scared.

"The number of hierarchies is' 5 '. The difficulty is slightly higher than the Blue Tower. It's not that far from this city, and the Dungeon drops are one of the conditions for a rank-up."

"Hmm. So, when are you going?

I see. Shall I go to the Alliance tomorrow and meet you at the bus station with my feet... around noon's yellow hour, "Koku"?

Yellow time is the time to noon in my world.

"Is that fine with Fine?

"Um, could you meet me at the dungeon stop, if possible? I will also go according to the bus arrival time. I really want to go with you, but I can't read it for a while...."

"... yeah, that's fine, but the number of buses is small, so if you can't get on the same bus, you'll miss the rendezvous time quite a bit. You want me to change it to another day?

"No, I'll be fine tomorrow. Because I have transportation other than buses."

Oh, I wonder. Do you have a car or something?

Well, shall we meet locally?

Yes!

Fine put her fingers in front of her chest to pray.

"... fun, fufufu"

I only know the voice, but it seems very happy. This happened somehow in the flow, but I think it would be good if you were so happy.

"Now, shall we leave our luggage in the room? I'm kind of tired today..."
