While we were talking about the future story with the guy, a drunk guy suddenly appeared, and the conversation between him and I stopped, and I, who was already in a bad mood about Ethan and Princess Laney’s engagement, ended up spitting harsh words at him. It was a natural result.

“Well, what the heck… ?”

“When you come out of your mother’s womb, the cub that couldn’t even keep the hair on it is asking you to be a brat. If you’re drunk, you should go home and sleep well.”

“This crazy bitch went crazy!”

A giant adventurer with a head of about 95% transparency who belatedly understood the meaning of what I said and swung the ax on his belt at me.

The guy’s ax curved through the air in an arc toward my shoulder.

-Aaaah!!

“You should know that if you make a mistake in a place like this, one of your shoulders will be blown off!”

“Really? Then, since it didn’t fly away, I guess I made fun of it properly? Did you admit to yourself that you have newborn-level hair?”

“You fucking bitch!”

He blocked the ax swung by the bald man, who easily fell for even a shallow provocation, with a dagger and struck it away, then straightened his stance.

Usually, the guys in 『Luminor Academy』 who openly pump their muscles like this are just ordinary people who are a bit hit and in reality there is nothing special about them.

In this world, people who actually know how to fight train their energy, not their bodies, and people who have trained their energy properly have compressed muscles and increased muscle density, so they don’t have bulky muscles like that.

As expected, the guy who challenged me swung his ax with a force that seemed weak compared to his size, and I could only respond by blocking his blade with a silver sword.

‘It’s a sword I don’t use often, so it feels a little awkward.’

I’m not saying that Lizzy’s silver sword is a bad sword, but the object of comparison was the dagger that Seraphine gave Luke as a gift and my custom-made dagger that Ethan made himself.

If you hold one in each hand, the other sword will be used relatively less. Because you can’t use a three-sword sword with a dagger in your mouth.

However, in preparation for entering the dungeon, the Seraphine dagger and the Blackwood dagger were left to Ethan for maintenance, and this emergency silver sword was the only weapon that could be used.

Of course, even with this, these miscellaneous mobs of the adventurer’s guild… No, it wouldn’t be that difficult to subdue at least one drunk person.

-Aaaah!!

“Ugh, this little bitch… !!”

‘Now!’

The guy completely absorbed the impact of the dagger I threw at him with his wrist and then slightly relaxed his grip.

The moment I was about to stab Lizzy’s silver sword, thinking that if I stabbed the right arm holding the ax at the right time, I would be able to subdue her in an appropriate way… .

-Whoops!!

“Ugh, turn it off… ?!”

“… … .”

The bald man in front of me lost consciousness and fell backwards as a result of a sword strike from a gunman who suddenly appeared behind him.

– Clap!

“… What is this again? Was there a villain like this in the original? Lilith, are you okay… .”

“Hey, you bastard! It’s not a last-hit steal!”

“En… … ?”

“Ah, why are these guys like this these days?! Why is it that whenever I try to fight properly, this guy and that guy just give the last blow and take it away?!”

“Hey, Lilith. I’m sorry, so please lower your voice first.”

“… … Ah.”

Still, I was reminded of the last-hit steal that I got in Hobgoblin’s Forest two weeks ago, and I was so offended that I even said some harsh words to Gemmo, but when I thought about it, I didn’t think I could get angry out loud here.

I hurriedly came to my senses after hearing Gomeo’s words, and tried to ignore the gazes of the people in the adventurer’s guild and quietly walked out of the guild with the hero. After we had walked some distance away from the building, Gomeo looked at me with a cold look, as if I was embarrassed. Sent it.

“What are you doing all of a sudden?”

“… What.”

“You could have easily gotten over those annoying drunk people. That braided hair right there… Oh, no, did you have to provoke the man?”

“What should I do? I’m the type of person who needs to give a reason for the bastard who treated me like a dick to act like a dick so that I can relax, right?”

“No, whatever. Considering what you did at Ruagall, I guess so… .”

Gemmojoshegigot’s gaze towards me. To be precise, the guy was feeling a little unfair because he was looking at me like he was looking at me like he was crazy, so he shook his head and said.

“Well, I’m not in a position to give advice to you, who is a regular at 『Luminor Academy』, but wouldn’t it be better to tolerate that personality for a bit if possible? You’ve been in trouble a lot because of that personality.”

“… … .”

“What I saw right now was that you fought with a student from the swordsmanship club using a real blade at the academy entrance ceremony… . And you got caught saying the wrong thing to McHart. Of course, I know that McHeart is a bit of a dog to you, who has a unicorn temperament, but… .”

“… I don’t know. Anyway, it’s good that I got rid of it quickly before the Part 4 boss awakens.”

“That’s true, but… . Well, you can’t live your whole life just swearing at people you don’t like. And I don’t think I’ve ever cursed or said anything to Ethan like this.”

“… … .”

No, I did.

In fact, I thought that the person who scolded me the most was probably Ethan when he was young. At that time, I held it in for a while before finally bursting out and spitting it out. If it were true to my original personality, Ethan would have only received about a tenth of the insults he actually received from me.

“This is my sincere advice, but you should kill that personality. If you keep that same personality even after you become a duchess, you know that it will be a real problem then, right?”

“… … .”

“Anyway, I’m going. Still, it was nice to talk comfortably for the first time in a long time. As I said before, I will do my best for Angela’s love line, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“… Yes.”

As if he took the fact that I didn’t reply and stayed silent as a positive rather than a negative, he just said what he had to say and disappeared.

Since I already knew that a future like becoming the Duchess of the Blackwood family was impossible, I could only give a weak answer to that guy’s back.

After going to the adventurer’s guild to buy a map for the inside of the dungeon, I received advice from Gomjoshegigot to tone down my personality.

Ethan felt something was strange when he saw me coming back to the dorm in an exhausted state, but that was it. That day, both Ethan and I were tired from the long carriage ride, so we fell asleep.

And the next morning. I walked towards the dungeon entrance, wondering if the dungeon would be empty, but as expected, it turned out to be empty. In the two-person small dungeon, there was still a long line of students with tents pitched.

“I came here just in case, but it seems difficult to get in today.”

“Yes, Master Ethan.”

“I can’t help it. Instead, would you like to explore the dungeon and take a look around the city today? I heard a rumor that there was a restaurant in Dungeon City that was good at pasta.”

“Good idea, Master Ethan. Since local specialties are usually related to local specialties, you may be able to indirectly check the ecology within the dungeon.”

“… Well, I’m not saying to go around for such a grand reason.”

I didn’t really mean to go around with Ethan to find out about the dungeon’s ecology. I was just giving lip service a reasonable excuse to go on a date with him.

Since it would be absolutely impossible to enter the dungeon today anyway, Ethan and I walked to the other side of the dungeon entrance, intending to spend the day leisurely.

‘It looks like he went in last night.’

Since the 8-player large dungeon is a dungeon that requires careful planning and attack, it seems that they prepared as quickly as possible and entered the dungeon.

Now that I know him well, I wasn’t particularly worried. Not only did I not have to worry about it, but I was able to progress through the story on my own, and from this point on, it would be pointless for me to intervene.

As I was leisurely walking around the dungeon city holding hands with Ethan, it was clear that this was a large area that could be called a ‘city’.

Unlike yesterday, when I just wandered around the temporary commercial district built near the dungeon entrance, as I went a little deeper, I was able to find quite a few facilities such as high-end clothing stores and large restaurants.

Apparently, there were a lot of shops to pick out mulberries from adventurers who came out of the dungeon city after having a good time. The best way to promote the dungeon, maintain it as a tourist attraction, and sustain the economy was to somehow get the money earned in the city to be spent back here.

‘Or, like me and Ethan, they extract money from students from various academies who visit a few times a year to explore dungeons.’

While I was leisurely walking around the streets with Ethan, a store with a sign saying ‘Dungeon Reward Market’ caught my eye. After checking the sign, I grabbed Ethan’s arm and naturally directed his gaze towards it.

Having played 『Luminor Academy』 24.5 times, I roughly know the rewards from the dungeon, but in many ways, I thought it would be better to show it to Ethan in person.

“How about going into that store over there, Master Ethan?”

“Dungeon Reward Market?”

“This is a store that buys and sells reward loot obtained from dungeons, so you may also be able to check the rewards that can be obtained within the dungeon.”

“Definitely. There won’t be any harm in checking as Lilith said.”

Ethan nods as if what I am saying makes sense and walks towards the ‘Dungeon Reward Market’.

I took Ethan with me, thinking that there might be weapons or armor that could be obtained in the dungeon, but it wasn’t until some time later that I found out that the ‘Dungeon Reward Market’ was a facility for purchasing items that had nothing to do with weapons or armor. It was.
