The pungent smell tormented my lungs.

The smell alone gave the impression that the inside of the dungeon was dangerous.

But Sabrina’s attitude was not like that at all.

“This dungeon is pretty high level for a dungeon around here.”

Contrary to what I said, I wasn’t nervous at all.

You can tell by looking at the face.

It’s like they’re going on a picnic.

“Be careful.”

I think Nabi’s worries are pointless.

Because the person listening was listening with the other ear.

Actually, he had the skills to do that.

It’s an adventure that you wouldn’t have to worry about at all.

You could say that it felt like a field trip.

That is, if there is a clear guarantee that the person accompanying you is an ally.

“···This is the dungeon where the investigator died. The inside might be of a higher level.”

“If the investigator had died… the rating wouldn’t have been determined yet.”

“That’s right. So, there may be some danger lurking in the future.”

“I think your skill level should be enough, right?

“It would be safer if Sabrina helped me.”

Sabrina just laughs.

It didn’t look like he was going to take any active action.

I wonder if you’re teasing me.

My doubts about whether he would help grew stronger.

“Kikigik···!”

“Kkwok···!”

“From here on out, it seems like monsters are swarming around.”

A monster that appeared from beyond the darkness.

Even a child could tell that it was a hostile expression.

It took on a lunging stance with an appearance that looked like a mix of a bat and a goblin.

Naturally, there was no room for negotiation.

Navia was the first to take action.

“God’s vitality! May it dwell in the traveler···!”

A light separate from the surrounding light appeared.

The newly appearing light seeped into my body.

Nabi’s divine power has pushed my physical abilities to their limits.

“We will proceed while processing.”

He draws his sword with increased evil power.

He cut down the guys standing guard at the very front with one blow.

“Kkiiwick···!!”

Starting with my attack, the monsters started rushing in all at once.

However, it was easy to deal with as it was smaller than a person.

Of course, even so, the act of rushing in at the same time was quite tricky.

“Kkiiik···!!!”

“Kkikkik···!!”

It is no lie that the divine power has become stronger.

I actually felt it with my body.

I was able to deal with several of them rushing in at once.

If it weren’t for Nabia’s assistance, the battle would have become chaotic and difficult.

“As expected, it was handled quickly.”

Dozens of corpses strewn across the floor.

Sabrina didn’t even glance at him as if it was a given.

“Aren’t you willing to help?”

Nabia is in charge of recovery and buffs.

Sabrina, on the other hand, the sorceress, doesn’t seem to have anything in mind to do.

Now that I’ve accepted you as a colleague, I hope you do something for me.

“Unfortunately, as I said, I’m the type that launches powerful attacks. I hate doing small things over and over again because it’s annoying. And your current skills are more than enough to handle it, right?”

“A strong guy might appear soon. Besides… My skills are woefully inadequate in the eyes of a high-level adventurer, right?”

“Huh··· You think so? Surprisingly, it doesn’t look so bad to me either?”

You said you were a squeaky-squeaky adventurer.

In particular, it seems like the teasing attitude has no intention of stopping.

“Aren’t you just trying to pass off the annoying task to me?”

“Well··· I can’t say that there aren’t any, but it’s not a lie. If we just look at physical ability, it wouldn’t be lacking compared to a high-level adventurer, right?”

“If we only consider physical ability?”

“I guess I’ll be left behind in terms of experience.”

“I guess we’ll have to wait for Sabrina to fill in the missing parts.”

Sabrina still smiled faintly.

As if asking me to leave it to you if anything happens.

I’m honestly not sure if I can trust it.

But I couldn’t force it.

If there is conflict now, I will be at a greater disadvantage.

“Don’t worry. And I have my reasons for not taking the initiative.”

“What is the reason?”

“I have strong magical powers, so if I run wild in this cramped underground dungeon, something bigger will happen instead. It would be more efficient for you to catch the small ones.”

It’s not an unconvincing explanation.

There are many different types of wizards.

While there are wizards who provide small assistance like Nabija, there are also wizards who can completely turn the tide of battle with one powerful blow.

Perhaps in Sabrina’s case it’s the latter.

Of course, this requires the premise that what you just said can be trusted.

“···Then I’ll ask you to do it when I need a big room.”

In the end, I had no choice but to move forward and handle it myself.

Sabrina walked leisurely down the path filled with monster corpses.

“Squeak···!”

“Kikigik···!”

“The number suddenly increased.”

As Nabiah’s impressions progressed, the number of monsters increased.

But it was a little different from sensing me and coming to me.

It looked as if it was running from within.

“Is there something?”

“The way he jumps out and runs looks like he’s running away from something.”

“There is a relationship of eating and being eaten within the dungeon··· so we should assume there are strong monsters. Let’s proceed with caution.”

Nabi’s prediction was right on target.

As we went deeper, a vibration reverberated from the ground.

Boom! Boom!

“This is···”

What appeared was a huge lump of white flesh.

Although it was a humanoid monster, its size was incomparably large.

A difficult monster commonly called an ogre.

“Of all things, I just met a tricky monster.”

Ogres are large creatures with high regenerative power.

It’s too difficult to deal with with a sword.

If you don’t have the skills to cut down a huge body at once, it will become a long-term battle.

If it goes into a long-term battle, you will be at a disadvantage in regeneration and endurance.

“Ogre! What should I do?”

“Let’s aim for the vital point first. Please wait safely behind.”

Ogres also inflict damage to vital points.

Although it is a bit disadvantageous, with improved physical abilities, there is a good chance of winning.

“Wait a minute.”

The moment when you want to rush in quickly.

Sabrina stopped me unexpectedly.

It stopped so suddenly that my whole body jerked for a moment.

“···?”

“You showed me your skills, so I think it’s my turn to step up. If I drag my feet here, it’ll just get annoying.”

Are you finally coming forward?

Of course, now was the perfect time to step forward.

Honestly, I didn’t expect much.

I thought I would stay still, so I tried to rush in without asking.

“···I thought you’d stay still?”

“I’m also accompanying you as a colleague, right? I should do this much~”

Sabrina stepped forward in a languid voice.

It’s the face of someone who has no choice but to deal with annoying tasks.

Still, the skills beneath the calm expression aroused curiosity.

So, what is the level of skill of a high-level adventurer?

“It seems like this guy is the boss, so if we just deal with this, it’ll be over quickly.”

“Kuuu···!!”

Even good looks are of no use to an ogre.

Rather, he seemed angry.

He took a stance as if he was going to charge at Sabrina.

But Sabrana’s attack was much faster than that.

“Fire··· Burn a path through the enemy’s body!”

At that moment, I felt a tremendous wave of magical power.

A huge vortex of flame pierced through the ogre’s body.

Wheee!

“in···?”

“Oh, the ogre··· completely···”

There was no such thing as an ogre’s scream.

Realistically speaking, it was impossible to scream.

Because there was a huge hole in the upper body.

It was virtually instant death.

Even though the flames passed quickly, the heat was still felt.

If you think they’re targeting me, it’s terrifying.

The magic Tristan used was child’s play compared to Sabrina’s.

“Haam~ I’m sleepy···”

“···”

Sabrina yawns as if she has brushed off some dust.

I was in awe of the sight.

The body was burned so overwhelmingly that even the regenerative power was ignored.

“···As expected, you are a high-level adventurer.”

Nabia is speechless.

I was so embarrassed that I just opened my mouth.

“A monster with such regenerative powers… Huaam~ It’s easier to solve it all at once···”

It feels foolish to worry that it might be the enemy.

If it had happened to me without me knowing, I would have been helpless.

As a result, it was a good choice to choose companionship.

“I think you’ll agree that this is helpful enough, Mr. Peep-Pee-Pee-Pee Adventurer?”

This time, there was no way to refute it.

It’s not just because of the mysterious charm like last time.

It was a skill that was enough to make such a statement possible.

But the fundamental question has become deeper.

With such skills, why did you decide to come with me?

I wanted to ask, but I just saw the incredible results so I hesitated a bit.

“···I guess I have no choice but to admit it.”

“Hehehe··· But it’s hard for me to write like this often, so I need your help.”

“I’m a little skeptical about whether I really need help.”

“Really? Isn’t it true that she might actually be a fragile woman, despite her appearance?”

I can’t accept it at all.

Rather, she is just a woman who appears weak on the outside.

In reality, he is a dangerous wizard with incredible skills.

So much so that she is worthy of the nickname ‘witch’.

“I understand why she’s called the Witch of Sloth.”

Although frequent yawning may make you look lazy,

Everyone who saw his skills had no choice but to acknowledge him.

“Is that so? Rather, there are a lot of misunderstandings because of that nickname.”

“At least you won’t misunderstand my skills.”

“What if I need help?”

“There’s no way you’d need my help. Honestly, even if the little things bother you, you can just sweep them all away and move forward slowly, right?”

She never said it was impossible from the beginning.

I just said it was annoying and took a long time.

It means that it’s not like you can’t fight small battles.

“Ugh···”

Sabrina walking gently.

She whispered in my ear like a playful cat.

“Actually··· I need a little help too··· ♥ ”

“···?!”

My body flinches at the strange and ticklish voice.

But Sabrina’s face just keeps smiling.

The atmosphere was thick with a sense of playfulness.

“Okay, we’re almost there, so let’s hurry up and finish it.”

Sabrina’s buttocks swayed as she walked forward.

The aftertaste of the whisper still lingered.

It was a normal reaction to have secret fantasies.
