Chapter Index

    The four of them stood in a line and continued exploring the dungeon.

    In the meantime, monsters and traps appeared, but nothing special happened.

    This is because Lime, who was in the lead, easily blocked everyone.

    In a way, it could be said to be a truly pleasant exploration.

    “… … .”

    But in the meantime, Younghee, right behind Lime, kept hesitating.

    It felt like I was wearing shoes that didn’t fit.

    Unable to bear it anymore, Lime looked back.

    “….Why are you doing that earlier?”

    “Yes?”

    “You’re restless like a dog that wants to poop.”

    “A puppy that wants to poop… … .”

    Younghee’s shoulders slumped slightly at the direct way of speaking.

    Younghee hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth.

    “Well….it feels awkward to have Mr. Lime in front of me.”

    “……Am I that unreliable?”

    Younghee hurriedly waved her hand left and right.

    “Oh, no! That’s not it. For some reason, I feel like the person who should be in front of me is someone else.”

    “… … .”

    “There was a light that I always looked at. It feels like it has disappeared. It felt like there was something really precious… … .”

    “Hmm… … .”

    Younghee, who was speaking, scratched her head as if embarrassed.

    “Ehehe! Strange, right? How can you say something like this without even remembering it? sorry! Never mind!”

    “……I hate humans. There is one thing I also admit.”

    “Yes?”

    “That’s the heart.”

    Lime pointed to Younghee’s chest with her finger.

    “You don’t have a monster that preys on even your own people. A strangely powerful force that comes from thinking of a precious person. It’s the kind of thing that even a genius brain can’t explain.”

    “Your heart?”

    “Well, that’s the way it is from my perspective. Anyway, remember that feeling well now. Because it will be the most important clue to regaining your memories.”

    Younghee clutched her chest.

    mind?

    Does this vague feeling exist in my heart right now?

    “Lime Seed.”

    “Huh?”

    “It’s cringy.”

    Quick.

    Lime, who had blood vessels on her forehead, tickled Younghee’s armpits.

    “They look at me so favorably that I just climb up!”

    “Ahahaha! stop! stop! I was wrong-!”

    Lime released Younghee only after she had been crying for a while.

    “Hehe, just kidding. thank you! Lime always says nice things!”

    “……And don’t keep talking to me. Because you and I will become enemies later.”

    “Ah~ Why are you doing that again?”

    We walked forward side by side, laughing and chatting.

    Suddenly, Lime stopped.

    “What’s wrong?”

    Eugene, who was at the back, looked alert and asked.

    Lime raised his hand instead of answering.

    It was then that I heard a voice.

    “What, what! Who are you?”

    People were walking from the front.

    It was an adventure party consisting of three men and one woman.

    The reason I immediately judged them to be an adventuring party was because they were armed with swords, bows, and staffs.

    A man who appeared to be the leader at the front shouted.

    “Look, this is not a place for kids to hang out.”

    Are you relieved that the other person appears to be a human being?

    The man walked forward without any sign of hesitation.

    “How did you guys get here? Who is the leader?”

    At those words, all three women in front turned around.

    Eugene, who was suddenly pointed out, blinked.

    uh? Me?

    Ah, can’t I just stay stuck?

    “Are you the leader? What, wasn’t it a party made up of women?”

    The man hesitated, as if slightly embarrassed.

    Eugene is tall and looks fierce.

    Even without the name Heukcheon, it was enough to be scary.

    ‘Tsk, I was thinking of coaxing her and giving her a taste, but she’s annoying me.’

    Still, the opponents are beginners who still look young.

    The man coughed and tried to compose himself.

    “I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s dangerous here. Things go well when you say nice things, right?”

    “What should I do if I don’t say nice things?”

    Eugene asked, still expressionless.

    In fact, Eugene was closer to asking because he was genuinely curious.

    No, rather, I was nervous and said it without thinking much.

    However, depending on the listener, it could be seen as an argument.

    “No, do you want to be kicked out by your own strength? If you enter the dungeon without permission, the association will punish you… … .”

    “Our leader is right.”

    The class leader next to Eugene said.

    She was already in a bad mood, so she crossed her arms and looked at the man crookedly.

    “This is not an officially registered dungeon. I guess they didn’t specifically get permission to come here, right? Or are you threatening me now?”

    “Oh, no, we’re just worried about that… … .”

    “Oh, as you can see, there are no injuries whatsoever. We broke through it very easily. Looks like you had a hard time over there, right?”

    The class president grinned.

    The man’s face turned bright red.

    From earlier, these people dare to look down on adults.

    They also have a C-class hero license!

    “These…..!”

    The man who was about to get angry suddenly stopped.

    He looked Eugene up and down and made an expression that reminded him of something.

    “Are you… Kim Yujin, the successor to Heukcheon?”

    “But.”

    Slam!

    The adventure group behind the man took a stance.

    As if reacting to this, the class leader took a stance.

    Lime looked at them as if he was astonished,

    Younghee was also preparing with a nervous look on her face.

    The only person who did not change was Eugene, the person in charge.

    ‘I heard that the heir of the Black Heavens is attending the academy. Did you bring in a harem at that age? ‘Insolent bastard.’

    The man smiled wryly as he looked at Eugene like that.

    “……What business does the Master of the Black Heavens have up to here?”

    “I have something to look for.”

    “Why go all the way here? Could it have been okay to have a subordinate?”

    “……There was a method like that.”

    Eugene nodded as if he hadn’t really thought about it.

    The man frowned at the unexpected reaction.

    what? Is this guy really the successor to the infamous Black Heaven?

    ‘Is he perhaps a little lacking?’

    The man glanced back.

    All of my colleagues were ready to fight at any time.

    On the other hand, no one over there is even properly armed.

    The leader is a stupid guy over there.

    He blurted out the information that there were no other subordinates there.

    ‘Isn’t this an opportunity to cut off the head of the Black Heavenly Master?’

    Second only in terms of notoriety is the sorrowful Black Heaven.

    If you defeat the master there, the value of your name will increase immediately.

    Isn’t it literally like a pumpkin rolled around on a vine?

    gulp.

    The man put his hand on the sword.

    ‘No, wait!’

    Then the man’s hand suddenly stopped.

    Soon, he smiled and spoke as if he had a good idea.

    “Ah~ Ah~ I’m sorry about this. We were really worried. I didn’t know your skills very well. I apologize for this.”

    No one was willing to let down their guard after hearing those words.

    Lime was looking at Eugene’s thoughts to see if it would be okay to cut off their heads.

    The class president also prepared to deploy his tent as soon as a fight broke out.

    “Hmm! hmm! Don’t be nervous. As you can see, we are adventurers. If it’s okay, I’d like to suggest collaboration to the leader.”

    “Collaboration?”

    “This dungeon consists of two paths. If you want to conquer the dungeon anyway, you have to clear both.”

    As he said that, he winked with one eye.

    What if the other person is a cute girl?

    For an adult man to do it, it was just terrible.

    “Wouldn’t it be more efficient if we each took our own path?”

    “We came here aiming for the items in this dungeon, so that would be difficult.”

    “Ah, then you take that item! We’ll apologize for the quarrel and make that much concession.”

    The class president frowned.

    At first glance, it seemed like a very good proposal.

    That makes it even more suspicious.

    Above all, it was far from the standard adventure strategy.

    “Is there really a need to do that? According to the rule, for the sake of safety, it is better to attack together-”

    “It’s okay.”

    The person who interrupted the class leader’s words was Eugene.

    Eugene answered indifferently.

    “Then let’s do that and meet at the end.”

    “Oh, great! Perhaps because we come from a good family, we communicate well.”

    After reaching an agreement, they walked side by side to the crossroads.

    “Oh, then we will go to the right, so can you go to the left?”

    Eugene asked, remembering Suhyun’s words to always go to the right.

    The man nodded as if it was no big deal.

    “Okay, whatever. Because we don’t care either way.”

    After shaking each other’s hands, the two parties parted ways.

    The man smiled wryly as he watched Eugene and his group enter the road on the right.

    ****

    “Hey, leader. Why did you just let those guys go?”

    10 minutes after we parted ways with Eugene and his group.

    The wizard of the adventure party asked.

    “I honestly thought I would have a game there.”

    “Me too.”

    Other colleagues also nodded dissatisfiedly.

    “Honestly, if we had fought there, wouldn’t we have won?”

    “It would have been better to have the title of defeating the successor of the Black Heaven than to conquer a dungeon like this.”

    “Tsk tsk, you idiots. This is why you are third-rate for 10,000 years.”

    The leader of those third-rate people shook his head left and right.

    “Hey, when did someone give up on being the successor?”

    “Hmm? But you even suggested collaborating first.”

    “Of course that’s a lie. It’s a dungeon you’re going to conquer anyway. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to kill them all, including their necks, after they’ve drilled all the holes?”

    The wizard blinked for a moment.

    Soon, he burst into laughter as if he understood the situation.

    “Ahahaha! Wow, the leader is evil, evil! Isn’t this really too much for kids?”

    “Let’s kill that guy in the dark sky, tie up the girls, and then play with them. There are quite a few things that look smooth, right?”

    The man burst into laughter.

    “In particular, there’s that girl with really big breasts tied behind her head. I need to hear that cocky bitch scream.”

    “Kkkk, I’m going to have some fun for the first time in a while.”

    “Hey~ You still look young, isn’t that too much?”

    The man shrugged his shoulders.

    “That’s just how the world is. I’m just giving a true education to a young master who doesn’t know anything about the world.”

    “Kyahahahaha! It’s really too much!”

    “Tell me I have good hair.”

    “Ahahahahahahahahaha!”

    “Don’t laugh too loudly. Don’t be suspicious for no reason.”

    “Kihyahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

    “…….No, crazy. Why are you doing that-”

    The man who looked back froze.

    My colleagues were laughing together.

    as if one was crazy. The eyes are lined with blood and shed bloody tears.

    “What, what is it? What happened…cough!”

    The man vomited blood from his mouth.

    Still, he belatedly looks at his hands.

    His hands were already turning into those of a reptile.

    ‘Mo, turning into a monster?’

    There are several traps in the dungeon.

    Most of them are of the physically damaging type.

    However, there are rare cases where such a curse is cast.

    Once caught, it cannot be released without a considerable blessing.

    Of course, there was no way for a C-level party to have a talent like that.

    ‘Uh, why is there a curse in a low-level dungeon like this… … .’

    The man stumbled.

    Could it be that choosing the right side at the crossroads was the correct answer?

    Shit.

    It was a mistake to not search properly because I was preoccupied with the Master of the Black Sky.

    ‘Damn it. After all, there is only half a chance of getting caught. I’m out of luck…’

    Suddenly, the conversation we had earlier flashed through the man’s head.

    -Oh, then we will go to the right, so can you go to the left?

    -Yeah, whatever. Because we don’t care either way.

    that’s right.

    Clearly, Heukcheon was the one who chose the path first.

    What if he knew this was a trap?

    What if you had already predicted your thoughts?

    ‘Could it be…that it was us who suffered?’

    Now that I think about it, it was strange.

    The opponent is the infamous Black Heaven.

    An organization that worships absolute nothingness where only force is justice.

    The successor to a place like that is such a naive guy?

    And that’s not enough, you believe in his own suggestions without question?

    ‘Ha, that was all an act?’

    Why did he come out so obediently?

    Even so, it is extremely scary.

    In that short period of time, I figured out their thoughts,

    They came up with a way to dispose of it without spilling a single drop of blood.

    Moreover, Eugene has done nothing legally wrong.

    No, this is a hidden dungeon.

    It is doubtful whether the fact that they are dead will ever be revealed.

    ‘This is…the successor of the Black Sky…’ … .’

    Regretting the past when I looked down on people I shouldn’t touch.

    The man turned into a monster along with his colleagues.

    “Kiyaaa!”

    *****

    Meanwhile, on the left side of the dungeon.

    Eugene said with a bright smile.

    “Wow, they even give away items. They are very kind people. Right?”

    “Well, really?”

    Younghee nodded awkwardly at Eugene’s words.

    The class leader was still lost in thought with a suspicious look on his face.

    Lime walked ahead, smiling as if he had just heard a happy song.
