The most vicious thing about this [Ant Hell] dungeon was that at least one person had to take the attack from earlier.

In other words, this attack alone will only lower your health to 1, and you will never die.

I remember going in as a newbie and almost getting lost.

The reason I stepped forward and got hit was not because of consideration or anything like that, but because my stamina was at its lowest here.

HP 50->1 is more cost effective than hp 200->1.

It would be difficult if Zena or Riche got hurt.

When the weapon baptism was over, blood poured out from all pores of the body. But no one lost consciousness or died.

It hurt enough to make me fall, but I didn’t fall behind, so it’s okay.

I opened the potion I had prepared in advance and gulped it down.

I feel like I’ve regained half my stamina.

What if Zena or Riche were hit by this attack and their health became 1? Even if I consumed three of these potions, my blood tank would not even be half full.

Feeling happy that my plan was successful, I savored the potion.

“It tastes good.”

With those words, I was grabbed by the collar.

Richie grabbed me and kept shaking his arms. At the same time, my body shook as well.

This much strength can be achieved with just this thin-looking left arm… I’m scared!

“You crazy bastard! How can I get back to you if you leave!”

Richie held my collar tightly with a truly embarrassed expression.

Considering that in the original work she never showed much concern for anyone, it was quite a touching moment.

Isn’t this what camaraderie is all about? doing.

“Don’t worry, Richet. Just enough to kill you.”

“What kind of bullshit is that? I should lead the way! How the fuck can I go on without you..! I don’t know the way!”

“……”

Was that what you were talking about?

I suddenly felt dizzy and saw Jenna running behind Richet.

“Why do you always get hurt?!! Is it because you want to see people fall apart?!”

iced coffee. It’s annoying to explain.

.

After telling Jenna and Richie the whole story, I continued heading forward.

What was unique was that their reactions were distinctly different from each other.

“…For some reason, I thought a senior would do that. That’s the kind of person he is by nature…”

“Aren’t you always this kind of guy? They say that if people change, they die…”

Realizing that they were saying completely different things, the two people turned their gaze to each other.

“What is this kid’s nature? Did I hear wrong?”

“What kind of person is your senior?”

The women looked at each other with expressions of incomprehension and then slowly turned their heads towards me. I guess I couldn’t stand the awkward atmosphere.

Anyway, the two don’t really suit each other.

Anyway, as we move forward, the number of ants that appear is increasing.

Of course, the size of the ants was also a large army of black ants, well over 1m long.

Kiiig! Cheek!

“There are still a lot of people behind.”

“Stay behind me, Senpai.”

Richet adjusted his sword and Jenna stood solemnly in front of me.

Having said that, he is still only a kid, but he is quite reassuring.

As a supporter and ADC, I applied a speed buff to the entire party from the back and a power increase buff when hitting.

Even this is difficult for an eunuch with 14 horsepower.

“[Thousand-killing slash-slash].”

“[Anti-monster crusher – 1 piece].”

“Huhhh!”

“Kk! That’s right!”

“Crack! Crack!”

Richet cut off the ant’s neck, Jenna pierced the ant’s body, and I burned the remaining remains.

What puzzled me was the number of ants. It was really endless.

“Hey, Dyers. There really is no end to it? I think I’ve sorted out about 200 of them now.”

“Hold on just a little longer. It’ll be quick.”

From what I remember, 70% came. The problem is that the number of ants has increased by at least five times compared to the original. This party, which includes Richet, Jenna, and the sneaky-looking me, is by no means weak.

Even before Chapter 4, Odium, I was able to pass through it with ease…

Dire Wolf is the same, and if you look at the number of these monsters, this level is not even hard, but crazy hellfire difficulty.

If you go later, only real monsters will come out… What should I do?

As he was moving forward while sorting out the ants, Richet hesitated for a moment after cutting down the ants.

In the game, her destructive power was enormous, but each and every move was great. The method Richet chose here was to just hit the minor attack and hit him again with a tough approach.

Her unique way of enjoying the fight itself.

It was still the same now.

While swinging her sword at another ant, she planned to just hit the ant’s attack coming from the right side.

I can’t tolerate that style.

When the difficulty level increases this much, you need to get to the boss as smoothly as possible.

Don’t get even minor injuries.

I stabbed the ant on the right that was running towards her with a wolf staff.

When Richie confirmed that it was I who disposed of the ants, he was a little embarrassed, but quickly turned away without saying a word.

Meanwhile, Jenna picked out the ants that were running towards me and swatted them away.

I high-fived Jenna and then continued killing ants.

All those guys are starting to see the end.

.

After breaking through the ant army wave, I settled down to rest for a while.

Richet glanced at Dyers.

He built the camp with skillful workmanship. Not only Riche, but even Jenna, who ate the mercenary jjambap, was amazed and amazed.

It was quite the theme of pigs.

Perhaps sensing Richet’s gaze, Dyers took out a basket from the backpack he had brought with him.

“Oooh..! Sandwich..!”

“Hey, this is a bit sensible? Where did you get it?”

Even Richie, who unlike other girls her age was not very interested in food, seemed to sell this sandwich.

It was thick and had a good composition of ingredients.

Of course it must have been bought.

But the words that came out of his mouth were different.

“I made this after shopping yesterday.”

At those words, Richie was shocked and his head throbbed.

You made this yourself? That Dyers? Even go grocery shopping?

Once again, nightmare-like memories come flooding back.

Even though she was a Latina whose plans were rejected by Dyers several times, there was one project she was really passionate about.

‘I ate it last time, but this is different. ‘Did you make it so that Senior Dyers had no choice but to give permission unconditionally?’

‘…Latino. So what is this agenda?’

‘Hmph. I’ll tell you later! Please watch over me, Senpai Richet!’

After checking later, the agenda was ‘A report on the grand plan for holding a student council pear cooking competition together’…

‘get out.’

‘I got robbed again! Huuu-!!’

no. Latino. Common sense suggests that someone who doesn’t exercise can cook? The words rose up in my throat, but I held them back.

How can I tell someone to leave this world?

‘Even this time, the only thing you said was ‘Get out’…! My perfect plan…!’

‘Yes, yes, Riche. You know that guy is basically a cheap guy. Drop it, drop it. I’ve prepared a handkerchief this time, so unwrap it here.’

‘Hmm… yes…’

‘hey!! ‘It was crazy!’

‘I’m sorry!! Hmm!!’

“…..”

I don’t know why that memory came to mind, but I wasn’t particularly angry.

The more you think about it, the dirtier it gets, so let’s stop thinking about it.

Richet reached out and tried to pick up the delicious sandwich.

At that time, Dyers handed me a drink and said.

“Riché. This is yours. With this.”

“What..? Aren’t they all the same?”

“It’s different, so take it.”

What are you talking about? Sandwiches are there.

I was skeptical, but I figured it out after taking what he handed me.

A sandwich filled with boer meat and tomato juice. Even the mustard sauce was made entirely of things he liked.

‘…what is it really?’

Are you taking care of me?

It was hardly a coincidence that Dyers had felt this way more than once or twice recently.

I tried to just hit the ant attack earlier, but Dyers, who was behind ‘coincidentally’, came to the front and dealt with it.

Even when we confronted each other, didn’t you say that you ‘accidentally’ used the wrong magic in my direction?

No matter how insensitive and simple Richet was, there were at least one or two parts that felt off. No, I don’t know if it’s just one or two things, but it’s confusing because it’s accumulating.

Especially since the target is Dyers.

There was something more strange.

He suddenly calls himself a meat shield. It must be his first time in this dungeon, but he knows the entire geography by heart.

Obviously, Dyers is Dyers, but it has changed a bit.

To put it negatively, I feel like I’m likely to get scammed, but to put it positively, I feel like I’ve become a better person.

Anyway, it was a good thing. Richie grinned.

‘I don’t know~’

Her originally simple thoughts stopped here. Regardless of what Dyers takes care of or not, Mt. Geumgang is also a sight to behold after a meal. Shouldn’t the sandwich come first?

As I took a bite, my mouth trembled at the combination of the juiciness of the properly cooked meat and the sauce.

The tomato juice was also very clean, not too sweet or dry.

what is this. Wow, it’s so delicious.

It felt like I found an oasis after not having water for three days. Richet ate the sandwich like it was water.

Before I knew it, the sandwich was gone. Richie became slightly depressed.

The red kid next to me had a similar reaction. Unlike himself, the little boy had no hiding his facial expressions.

During a satisfying meal for the first time in a long time, Dyers opened his mouth.

“Xena, Riche. The wave of black ants is not over yet.”

“…Tsk, I expected it, but it’s annoying. I’m going to bleed a bit.”

“I’m fine, but I’m worried about my senior.”

“So…”

Dyers looked around for a moment and then continued.

Where he looked, there was an oil drum that looked like it had been picked up by ants.

“Do you like fireworks?”

Richie, who heard those words, smiled and said.

“Ugh. Damn.”
