The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter

Going south of the city, there is a mountain called Amora, where a source was found a year ago. They also use the royalty, saying that the accommodation was built quickly and now the guests are constant.

But it's a mountain that's been around for a long time, so why have we found a source by now? One reason is because people don't get in and out much. So there's a cunning demon living there.

With that background in mind, Dr. Erna puts life into it against students in a floating mood.

"You know, you guys. This is a trip training exercise. We're not just going to dip in hot water."

"I know what you mean."

To the student who replied with a lot of joke, the teacher approached him with a smile on his face and threw him away.

"Gu..."

"When I was a mercenary, I saw many hella guys. But, you know, the guy who does that before the mission goes undecided. You know why?

"... I don't know, señor"

"Because you're going to die. Don't take it personally. Don't be alarmed if your opponent seems weak. That's what I want to tell you. Okay, let's go."

As always, the teacher is cool. Seems like someone else when I'm massaging. The men, who were out of their minds, also look a little tight.

We will go for the hot springs of Mount Amora.

The place will get there in half a day's walk, and the mountain itself is not expensive, so the climbing itself will be easy. To the foot of the mountain, it goes on busily with Wye. It's like an excursion because it's a journey of more than twenty people.

The problem is after entering the mountain.

"Fine, demons get out of here normally too. Let's all set up an operation to see how we fight."

Because of our growth, it seems the teacher has a policy of not saying much. We all get together and the consultation begins.

"How about we each do it freely in a way we're good at fighting?

There are several students who nod at the boys' suggestion.

Um, I think that's tough. Large numbers confuse me. Maybe some magic will strike my people.

At a time like this, a highly communal Emma exerts her full power.

"There's a better way. A few people who are good at melee harden up, on all sides. Magicians gather in the center to support you when it comes to battle."

"Oh well. This mountain also has many trees and slopes. We respond to surprises. That's Emma. You're not only cute, you're smart."

"That's not true ~"

While humbled, Emma makes a V-sign with her fingers. It's for me, so I'll smile. Emma, you're studying in a book written about strategy and demons. He said the hard-working side had shown strength. A couple of people who are good at melee fight front and back, then solidify the side. What should I do? Ask Emma.

"Which one is Emma?

"Fit Knoll!

"So why don't we go forward?

"Okay, come on."

From the standpoint of levels, combat experience, etc., me and Emma are also at the top of the S-class. It's harder to make mistakes if you're in the position where you're most likely to encounter enemies.

"Bad scaffolding, so let's be careful."

"Oh. By the way, the demon here is Pixie and, what is it?

"There's a spear lizard. He likes spears, Lizardman."

They'll flock, so I don't like it if they come in a group. The lodging is near the top, so be prepared for the encounter.

You don't have to run into demons for an hour or so.

There's no such thing as demons.

"Right."

"Dangerous! Knoll, don't step through there. Back off!

"What... Ha"

My body reacts aggressively to someone's advice. Backstepped down. I wonder if anything will happen, but nothing in particular.

The long-haired boy I just shouted... you're a yolt.

"Did you feel anything in that place?

"Hooff, Knoll. I saved your life."

He raises his long forehead, picks up the larger stone that was falling and throws it forward. The moment I fell where I was about to step earlier, the dosar and dirt collapsed and the pit was exposed.

Liar...... you mean there was a trap?

"... thank you, Jolt"

"Oh, I don't need a reason to help my people."

Yort-kun thumbs up and sends his gaze toward the flickering and the girls. The girls seem to be pulling a little, but I really appreciate it. Because there were a few bamboo spears planted at the bottom of the hole.

It's not weird if you're injured if you fall.

"Thanks for saving Nor"

"E, Mr. Emaa... so, okay, heh, no big deal at all, heh"

Wild characters are crumbling, Yolt. Anyway, I tilt my neck.

"But who would do this?"

"Someone who doesn't want you to go to the hot springs, maybe?

"You mean the other guests? No, you don't have anyone to do this. I think Pixie is suspicious."

"Pixie is small. You can't make a hole like this."

Emma's right, isn't she? Pixie, where fairies are said to be corrupt. I've never seen it before, but the size of a palm ride is a famous story.

A soft woman's voice abruptly reaches from over our heads that haunts our heads.

"I know, I know."

It's the dwarf with transparent feathers who's been speaking up...... no, it's too small to describe it that way. She was a girl whether she was twenty centimeters tall or not.

My skin is light brown and my hair is saggy. Would you be as old as us if you were human?

She keeps talking as she slowly flies in front of my face, losing her words.

"You dug that hole, you bad people. People called bandits."

"What about you?

"I'm a monster called Pixie. But don't get me wrong. I swear to God, I won't do anything wrong."

Is it because you're trying to get in on us? But I'm pretty sure I found the mini size and attitude to go hand in hand cute.

Looks like the other students felt the same way.

"It's cute, but..."

"Well, Pixie tricks people."

"It's out of my mind... because even Pixie has good and bad. Even humans don't?

They put their rough, crushed eyes at me, and everyone apologizes. Intelligence may be equivalent to or more than human beings. This kind of opponent can only be looked into first.

Name: Pixie

Level: 5

Skill: Demonic Motherfucker

Simple strength is what it looks like, but I'm concerned about [demonic manipulation]. It is quite convenient and powerful to manipulate as you wish. But can a five-level pixie manipulate the upper limit?

I'll check with the doctor first. You laid your eyes down. We don't give advice, so it's up to us.

"What do Emma and everyone think?

"I... I don't know if I can believe it for just a little while - I don't know"

"Don't I look like a bad guy?"

"I want to believe you, too. In fact, there are bandits around here."

Is Kawaii great justice? Everyone has a tender eye. I try to tell him about [demonic manipulation] but he moves first to Pixie.

"Everybody loves it! I love humans. Hot spring accommodation, right? I'll show you around."

Follow me, and Pixie flies to the lead. We stay in formation, we follow.

"Hey, Nor, I'm glad you look like a good demon."

"... oh yeah"

That doesn't mean everything about demons is evil. Some beings follow or get along with humans. Even Tiger Maru is a monster.

But I can't forgive them because they're pixie. Let's set the rules there.

1, guide Pixie off the road

Two, there's a demon out there, and Pixie's one of us, so I'm gonna say it's okay.

If this unfolds, I will certify her as a bad demon.

"Hey, what's your name?

"I'm Nor."

"You're the leader?

"It's not like that. You look weak, don't you?

"Ugh, maybe. By the way, Nor, why don't we stop by? Actually, I know the secret. There's another hot spring."

"Even Hot Springs!?

Yort-kun also seems to have no eyes in the hot springs, and reacts with great admiration. The other students say we should go, so I'll be careful. [M]

"Isn't it dangerous... We can go to the hot springs anyway, and hurry to your original destination."

"I'm fine. I have trap detection. If there's a dangerous place, I'll let you know."

"But you can't sense everything, can you?"

"Then let's take a majority."

Yort-kun asks everyone if they want to go for an inn or stop by the border. Raise hands, there were clearly many factions who wanted to come to the secret border. Emma mentioned it to me in the first place, shy away from me, and then lowered it. I'm sorry to bother you.

"I don't know, follow me"

"Guys, come on!

Pixie and Yort-kun move forward in Norinoli. I followed them with a little discontent in my chest, hoping that I might enjoy the secret without anything. [M]
