The forest was not a very familiar place to Woo, who was born in the grassland and lived in the grassland his entire life.

    Of course, because Woo had an excellent sense of balance and flexibility, he never took a wrong step and fell like Sarah did, but the maze-like forest seemed uncomfortable.

    “How many times have you entered the forest chasing after enemy soldiers who had retreated into the forest?”

    While heading towards the dungeon, Wu suddenly looked up at the sky and frowned when he saw the green roof covering the sky.

    “Obviously, Yeo was winning in terms of speed, but when I came to my senses, I had missed the enemy.”

    “They were probably a race accustomed to the forest. Because I memorized the entire route, I was able to easily outrun him even if I was outpaced.”

    For reference, when I asked what the name of that race was, I was told it was the maple fox race.

    It was a familiar name, as if I had heard it somewhere, but I couldn’t quite remember what it was.

    “Were those guys strong?”

    “Okay. He wasn’t weak, but he wasn’t Yeo’s opponent. If I had done that in the first place, I wouldn’t have run away from her.”

    It is said that they were a race of people with scarlet fur reminiscent of autumn leaves, and the sight of them when they fled after completing their goal was memorable because it looked like autumn leaves running across a meadow.

    Wu’s maple fox was evaluated as being okay, but Wu’s level was close to the highest level in his prime, so no one can know what he actually was like.

    There was quite a bit of longing on Woo’s face as he told me the old story.

    Does she miss the family she will never see again, or the battlefield she has lived in all her life?

    “Do you want to go to war?”

    When I asked that question vaguely, he seemed to realize what I meant by saying that, and he laughed and shook his head.

    “Yeo has lived her entire life on the battlefield, but not because she particularly likes war. And now that I have you, it is like heaven compared to when I was in prison. of course… .”

    Wu, who stopped mid-sentence, spoke sideways with a sharp look in his eyes that made the hairs on his entire body stand up.

    “Recently, it seems like the attention that was only paid to women has gone elsewhere.”

    “… Do you still want to have a baby?”

    “Do you think that women are creatures that never feel lonely as long as they have babies?”

    Wasn’t it?

    Wu turned his head as if that thought was reflected on his face, sighed, and quickened his pace.

    That’s a mess,

    As an expert in dating, I could tell at a glance.

    “Wow, are you upset?”

    “I didn’t get upset.”

    “I didn’t really mean that, I just said it because I wanted Wu to give birth to my child!”

    “Sound with the right mouth… . I guess he probably said the same thing to that woman.”

    “Huh? You didn’t do it to Sarah?”

    Wu stops walking.

    She glanced back, lowered her body, and made eye contact with me.

    “Look into her eyes and say it. Is it true?”

    “Really?”

    Woo’s eyes were very harsh and sharp as he asked if it was the truth, but he didn’t really say anything, so he didn’t have to be discouraged.

    There is no way in the first place to ask a woman if she would give birth to a baby.

    Not a perverted bastard.

    He must have sensed the sincerity in my eyes and closed his eyes tightly, but still did not take his eyes off me.

    “Then did you ask to be allowed to smell it?”

    “done.”

    “… … .”

    Woo’s eyes narrow.

    It was easy to predict that she would be angry if I said this, but it was inevitable.

    No matter what the case may be, I do not lie about things related to body odor.

    I couldn’t break the oath I made to my own soul and tell a lie.

    Perhaps reading these thoughts from his unwavering eyes, Wu let out a deep sigh and raised his upper body.

    “… It would be better if you just shamelessly lied.”

    “Lying is not good. Still, I didn’t let you smell it, so don’t be too disappointed! The reason you took my scented virgin is because she cried!”

    “I didn’t want to have something like that.”

    “Ah, I don’t hate it~!”

    He said that and clung to Wu.

    Since there was a height difference between me and her, from the side it would have looked funny, like a koala clinging to a tree.

    “It’s hot. Get away.”

    I didn’t feel much force from Woo’s hand, which was pushing my face away as if it was inconvenient.

    As expected, she doesn’t just hate it.

    ‘I got angry. Yes, I’m a master at dating.’

    When I saw that Woo’s anger had subsided, I got away from her and took a step forward.

    The target location is the Insect Queen’s Nest, which contains the Insect Queen’s scepter.

    After slaughtering all the monsters that stood in our way and wading through the bushes, what we encountered was a huge hole with no end in sight.

    Around the hole, things like tree branches and plant stems were woven in a circle, and it looked like a bird’s nest.

    “Here… .”

    “Yes, that’s right.”

    This is the Insect Queen’s nest where the Insect Queen’s scepter sleeps.

    It is a dangerous dungeon with an average level of 40.

    *****

    “I tell you in advance, this time, you must not kill the dungeon boss even by mistake.”

    Dungeons are divided into several types depending on their appearance and internal structure, and each has different characteristics, but there are some that do not change under any circumstances.

    One of them is the dungeon boss.

    Even if you hunt all the monsters in the dungeon except the boss, the dungeon will not collapse as long as the dungeon boss survives.

    In other words, not defeating the dungeon boss was the same as giving up on conquering the dungeon.

    She tilted her head at the contradictory statement that she should not defeat the boss when she came to conquer the dungeon.

    However, the reason was not asked.

    He must have thought that he had a good reason to trust me.

    “Got it. Is there anything else to be careful about?”

    “Yes, if possible, I hope to avoid large attacks that will likely collapse the terrain.”

    As you can see from the outside, the ground in this dungeon is very weak, so if you make a mistake, the ground or ceiling may collapse and you will be crushed under a pile of dirt.

    Of course, this is what the dungeon boss intended.

    Since all the monsters in this dungeon were bugs, digging and moving through the soft ground was not a task.

    Also, even if the ceiling or floor collapsed and you were trapped in a pile of dirt, you could escape on your own, so getting crushed in a pile of dirt was not a problem.

    “One Then, how should we fight? If what you say is true, isn’t the enemy attacking from all directions?”

    “Don’t worry about that.”

    Of course, countermeasures were put in place.

    If the problem is that the ground is weak, all we have to do is make it stronger.

    The earth spirit possessed various powers related to the land, including one that could make soft ground hard.

    “If you make the ground solid, it won’t be able to attack you so easily. However, it is structurally designed to be prone to collapse, so large technologies should not be used.”

    “I understand.”

    “And among insect monsters, there are many that can remain active for a short time even if they lose their heads.”

    In the last episode, there was a time when I got into trouble because I wasn’t aware of this.

    Since then, whenever I defeat an insect-type monster, I always attack its stomach or chest.

    If the heart or internal organs are injured, movement is blocked as the person struggles in pain.

    Since important organs are usually located in the torso, it was not difficult to target them.

    “Then let’s go.”

    “Okay.”

    After a brief explanation, we threw ourselves into a hole filled with only darkness and silence.

    The world lit up for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, we arrived at a crude, narrow passage that seemed to be made of clay.

    “Summon intermediate spirits.”

    This time, because there was Wu, I summoned the Earth Spirit to the rear instead of the front and solidified the ground as I said in advance.

    While I was moving forward, paying attention to the monster, I heard a sound like metal colliding from beyond the darkness.

    “You came.”

    There is a monster called Chungin.

    This monster, which is an evolution of insect-type monsters such as giant hornets or army ants, has different forms depending on which insect it evolved from.

    Chung-in, which evolved from ants, has a hard exoskeleton and strong strength like ants.

    Chungin, which evolved from a praying mantis, evolves with forelimbs sharper than a sword forged from steel.

    There are a variety of loyalists in this dungeon, but the ones that mainly appear are ants.

    This was because the leader of this dungeon was the queen ant, and they showed excellent coordination like a well-trained army.

    When I extended my hand forward, wary of an ant-shaped insect coming out, two insects with heads similar to ants appeared along with a sound like metal colliding.

    The ant-headed insects clinked their jaws together and made threatening noises.

    Both of their bodies were covered with a hard exoskeleton, and unusual strength was felt in their hypertrophied upper bodies.

    There were only two in number, but because the passage was narrow, it seemed like the passage was full even though there were only two.

    [Our queen’s territory――!!]

    “Frost Dance.”

    A cold wind carrying a chill struck the ant soldiers in an elegant curve.

    The level of the ant soldiers was higher than mine, but they were weak to cold and fire attributes, so an attribute attack that hit their weak point was enough to tie them down.

    They immediately moved their bodies and tried to move forward, but unfortunately the opponent in front of them did not allow this.

    “Penetroscope.”

    The deadly fist hurled at the stomach went through the exoskeleton and crushed the ant soldiers’ soft internal organs.

    While I was unconsciously cringing at the bloody sound of internal organs being crushed coming from beyond the exoskeleton, Wu turned his head and said.

    “It’s easier than I thought.”

    “Yes, let’s go to the queen’s room before the sun sets.”
