After handing over the jackal to Caria, I led my friends and headed to the dungeon I was targeting.

That place was the territory of a baron belonging to the Kingdom of Soladdin.

The Barony, which does not have a long history and is not very powerful, could not refuse us to attack a medium-sized dungeon.

From a prince, a duke, a count, to high-ranking church officials. The moment they go against their will, they have all the power gathered in one place to easily wipe out at least one baronial family, so what can they do?

“If there is anything you want, please tell me! We will do our best to cooperate!”

Baron Leeds couldn’t stop sweating when he saw us visiting to say hello. We didn’t really threaten anything.

The difference in status is what makes people so miserable. As he was looking pitifully at Baron Liz, whose lifespan seemed to be decreasing in real time, the grandfather let out a laugh.

…hmm. That too.

There is no need for me to say anything.

To those who don’t know Joy well, she appears to be a villainess with a dirty personality.

Frey seems cold-blooded if he keeps his mouth shut.

Arthur is a person who can only make a stern expression from beginning to end.

It is understandable that Baron Leeds kept looking in Faby’s direction.

The intention was to please save my life.

I felt like I would faint if I talked to Baron Liz any further, so I suggested that I go, and the Baron said this in a servile tone.

“My son will be with you, so if you need anything, please talk to him.”

no. hey. You too are a person with a hole in your stomach, so you are sending your son here? Are you still a father?

‘It wasn’t a waste of time, was it?’

I almost thought he was a bad dad who was trying to pass on tasks he didn’t want to do.

‘…Weren’t you representing that person?’

I was complaining about what my grandfather was saying when I interpreted it positively, but I tilted my head when I saw the eldest son of the Liz family who came to guide us.

what? Have you seen him somewhere?

This is definitely the kid who was with me during the academy entrance exam.

So the name is…

I can’t think of it.

The only thing I remember is the nickname Mesugaki Skill used to call me!

That stuck in my mind so strongly!

“Liz Youngsik. See you here again.”

As I was hesitating, Joey came to the front and said hello to him.

“Lady Patran remembers me. It is truly an honor.”

“It is not good to be too humble. Jacob Reese. You are a person worth remembering because you succeeded in being promoted to second grade with acceptable grades.”

ah! okay! Jacob! It was Jacob! It was only after hearing Arthur’s voice that I remembered the memory and stepped forward with a bright smile.

“Hello~ You poor bastard~”

“Lady Aln.”

Is it because I heard compliments from the two people earlier? Jacob’s eyes were full of anticipation. As I looked into those eyes thinking that I too would be praising him, a sense of playfulness naturally arose.

“Why are your eyes so disgusting? What do you want to hear?”

“Stir. That.”

“Honestly~ If you speak honestly, I might be honest with you too.”

I looked up at Jacob while grinning, and his face turned red and he lowered his head.

The reaction is fun. Usually, the kids around me don’t get offended because they’re so used to this kind of tone, but maybe it’s because he lacks tolerance, so when I touch him, he reacts the same way.

As I was thinking about playing with it some more, my voice was interrupted by Joey’s hand.

“Dear lady! Expression management!”

You didn’t say much when you were at the mansion, so why are you making such a fuss now? Can’t we play with some responsive toys?

I expressed my dissatisfaction with my eyes, but Joy did not release the hand covering her mouth.

“…Haha. ah. that is. First, I will guide you to where the dungeon is!”

Jacob, who belatedly regained his composure, quickly turned his back to hide his red face and then moved forward.

I furrowed my brows in disappointment as I looked at the back and exhaled into Joy’s palm.

“Hiyak?!”

Joy, who made a screaming sound that was unimaginable from her appearance, hurriedly took out a fan and covered her face as many people looked at her.

And he glared at me with just his gaze revealed above, and when I saw that, I giggled as if to see it.

“…Lady!”

“It’s fun.”

Hehehe. So why are you just watching and blocking my mouth?

This is your fault. Idiot.

*

Is it because Alsatin came earlier and sought cooperation in advance?

Not only had decent lodgings already been built near the medium-sized dungeon in Liz’s territory, servants, guards, and even people to cook were waiting.

I felt burdened by the harsh response from my family, but not from my friends. They seemed accustomed to this kind of response and made their demands to others.

‘I’m not like that.’

I feel awkward being treated like this because I have lived a fortunate life without being treated badly or even cursed at.

After we finished preparing with the consideration of the Liz family, one of the knights belonging to the family came out and tried to explain the dungeon to us.

“Before you begin the dungeon strategy, I will tell you about the dungeon in advance.”

I tried to listen to the explanation as little as possible. Because I was tired of answering questions about how I knew so much about a dungeon I had never been to.

“This dungeon has a total of 8 patterns.”

no. Including special variations, there are a total of 14.

“In cases such as distinction of traps, they are distinguished by a mark.”

Neither is this. Marks have nothing to do with traps. To identify a trap, you have to look at the floor.

“In the case of boss patterns…”

…no. This is a mess and that is a mess too. Are you really the ones who manage this dungeon?!

under. Siyiba. I just can’t stand it. It’s an excuse and it’s a blatant thing to do, so I have to throw it away.

“Hey. Stupid trash article.”

“…Yes?”

“Shut up. Listening to your idiotic explanation makes my ears feel like they are covered in dirt.”

After much patience, I finally stood up, took the textbook the technician was holding, and corrected each and every error.

In the process, I was bombarded with all kinds of criticism containing my sincerity, but I didn’t feel even the slightest bit of guilt.

It’s right to give a shout out to the guy who believes in this kind of idiotic strategy!

As I completed the textbook with a sigh, I remembered that what the old sage had said was right.

If you want to get a proper answer, don’t ask a question, but make the other person angry so they can’t shut up.

shit. I got hit this time, but not next time. In the future, I will use this method to make other people burst into flames! certainly!

With that promise, I left Liz’s knight alone and led my friends to the entrance of the dungeon.

“Lucy Alln. What are you doing?”

As if it was obvious, the moment he was about to enter the dungeon, Arthur frowned.

“It’s not like you don’t have eyes, but don’t you know when you see?”

“Isn’t the limit for a medium-sized dungeon up to four people?”

ah. right. I haven’t told them that yet.

…But how do I convince them that the dungeon’s number of people limit has been increased by one? Where should I start explaining?

After thinking about it for a while, I decided that it would be better to show rather than just tell, so I semi-forced the three people, Arthur, Joey, and Frey, into the dungeon and joined them along with Fabi.

Arthur, who was almost thrown away, looked down in frustration and froze when he saw Faby next to me.

“Are my eyes wrong? How can there be five people in a medium-sized dungeon?!”

“Don’t think it’s difficult. Poor prince. This is possible because I am a very special person. Poor Prince, can you just say it’s okay and ignore it?”

“What is that… no. done. Even if I say it, my mouth will only hurt.”

After easily convincing my friends, I took them with me and proceeded through the dungeon at a fast pace.

Dealing with each and every mob is just a waste of time. You have to reach the target location as quickly as possible.

Just like I did in the Academy Dungeon, I followed Rotten Water’s unique route and arrived in front of the trap on the second floor within 10 minutes.

“Is this the trap the article was talking about?”

“They said that if you step on this, monsters will come.”

Is it because of repeated training in the Knights’ Order? Even though I ran with a lot of heart, Arthur and Joey seemed quite relaxed.

Frey, well, she used to be able to keep up with my speed, so there’s no need to say anything. Fabi is panting slightly, but it doesn’t cause any problems in moving.

After checking everyone’s condition, I immediately stepped into the trap.

Then, the exit to the outside was blocked and several magic circles appeared in the room.

The monster wave, a trap unique to this dungeon, has been activated.

“Dear?!”

“Lucy Arlen!? What are you doing!…”

“If you have time to complain, why not get ready to fight?”

I leisurely raised my shield and raised my divinity while watching the various monsters that appeared above the magic circle.

“Damn it! What I’m saying is, prepare your mind at least!”

“For now, I’ll prepare with wide-area magic! Fabi! Blessings!”

“Preparing! Please wait a moment!”

“This looks like some fun.”

Let’s see how far our current friends can go.

It would be nice to be able to activate all the traps in the dungeon once you enter.

Only then will you be able to work efficiently.

‘Are you talking about Agra’s intervention? That doesn’t matter. no. Rather, it is better to intervene.’

‘It’s obvious that he could cause trouble in this dungeon.’

I hope you will please intervene this time as you always do.

That way, the rewards you can get from this dungeon will increase.

After replying to my grandfather that there was no problem, I raised my shield when I saw a group of monsters rushing towards me.

First, let’s take it easy and work hard for about half a day.
