“Wheeik!! Swish!! Whip!!”

“Wow!!”

“Clap clap clap!!”

A group of people receiving the torch is so splendid that it is safe to say that it is a triumphal procession.

The people making up the procession looked diverse.

First of all, the workers who are responsible for carrying out the chores of the envoys, such as carrying luggage or carrying it on a carriage, are ordinary workers.

And there were mages wearing Groden-style robes and swordsmen walking confidently in heavy armor.

Lastly, even the engineers, each with various types of pods, walking around with their livery coats waving.

And before their eyes, a round, dark disk-like gate that seemed a little larger than other dungeons was swirling like a whirlpool, sucking in the surrounding light.

Yui, who was looking sideways at the citizens around her who were cheering while standing between them and looking somewhat bored, seemed to be following the procession as if she was being dragged by Carla, who had her arms around her.

Not only did she already have dungeon experience, but was it because Yui had experienced the dungeon intensely under extremely harsh conditions?

Yui seems to have already given up halfway, muttering to herself in a soulless voice into the air.

“Dungeon… Another dungeon…

why… How did I end up in a place like this again? ”

“Again?”

“I said something wrong… …

Are you not worried about Carla?

That’s a dungeon… ?”

Soon, while she was smiling, she was shaking her head violently in response to a question from Carla, who seemed to have heard her talking to herself.

In response to Yui’s subsequent question, Carla just made a natural expression as if asking why.

“Huh? We’ll only be at the outpost, right?

You said it was definitely safe there, right?”

Should I call this naive or something?

Carla, who was stroking the top of the ‘Spider-kun Mk-2’ that was crawling next to her, raised her thumb towards Yui with a bright smile and no worries.

Yui smiled awkwardly and nodded, looking around again and becoming lost in thought.

‘…Because I can’t send Carla alone… ‘

That’s right, she had first-hand experience of being lucky when things didn’t go well in the dungeon.

Suddenly, the dungeon’s wall collapsed, causing a tectonic shift, and countless monsters rushed in, attacking the people who had trusted in the wall and felt safe.

Fortunately, she had strong allies in Vivien, Ranie, and Henia to protect her, so she only had to endure the hardship of taking care of the many patients brought in alone.

But at least if you look at it alone, it is not true whether you can really call it fortunate.

‘really… Is it okay… … ‘

For Yui, it was rewarding to somehow save people and overcome the situation, but if she had to go through that again, she wanted to refuse.

In the meantime, Karla was looking at her with bright eyes, saying that she had suddenly gone to a dungeon, so it was inevitable that the feeling of suffocation and suffocation was due to her mood.

“Stop!! We will begin our entry!! Magician!!”

“Yui!! Deal to get in!!

The gate is opening!!”

“Ugh… yes… … ”

In the end, Yui is inevitably led by Carla and engulfed in Madoujin’s light.

While her body was slowly disappearing.

Yui’s remaining gaze suddenly caught her eye at a place she happened to be looking at.

It was a familiar back, shining in gold, as if I had seen it many times before.

“Hold hands.”

“Ah… I might feel a little dizzy somehow… … ”

‘I can’t believe it was there.’

.

.

.

“Are you going too?”

“You too… No… ?”

“Rani decided to join the investigation team there.

As a combatant. Talent is also good… ”

The day before they left for the dungeon.

Yui arrived at the den she had stopped by because she wasn’t planning on coming for a while and was able to meet Vivian, who was looking around the den with her tentacles.

Yui’s eyes widened at the unexpected words that came out of Vivian’s mouth and she had no choice but to ask her a question.

“But Lanier is Floraz’s…

And don’t you go to that dungeon too?”

“It’s my first time doing something like this, so I’m not sure.

He even asked for a seat on his own?

Because if it’s an opportunity, it’s also an opportunity…

I have no intention of stopping him from trying it.”

“Ah… Right… … uh… ?”

At that point she was about to nod to Vivian’s answer.

A memory suddenly passed through her brain, causing Yui to flinch slightly and stop in place.

The expression on Ranie’s face as he laughed happily while chatting with him while eating at a luxury restaurant.

‘Antonio… ‘

Of course, Ranie, who has absolutely nothing to do with Warmhausen’s dungeon exploration team, can suddenly join the investigation team as a combat agent.

There was no doubt that the position had been created through a back row of key personnel.

Since we were going to go on an expedition anyway, we were going to take plenty of supplies, so adding one or two more people wouldn’t even be a problem…

If it’s just the representative’s assistant, it wouldn’t be a problem to increase one or two positions in the process of handling the work.

Moreover, at least in Yui’s opinion, Ranie wasn’t the kind of kid who would get scolded for hunting monsters anywhere.

Of course, at least from what she knew, the fact that her status was still just a student at the academy did not change.

But she had something that other students did not have.

That’s because he had the strength and strong body he received from Enik, and Nemea, an invincible shield and armor that had never been able to defeat anything other than the use of poison.

Excluding the Guardians who run on the front lines based on that, in a sense, Lanier can be seen as one of those who has the most experience hunting monsters in dungeons.

“That… Is it okay?”

“What?”

“That… Ranie…

It’s not really anything special… ”

Yui was wondering whether she should tell the truth to Vivian, who seemed to be unaware of Ranie’s situation, but in the end, she couldn’t open her mouth due to her discomfort and ended up vaguely saying something.

“Bland. Because I trust that they will take care of it.

If we meet in the field later, I would be grateful if we could help each other when needed.”

“That… !! all… Of course it should be!!

It’s not like we don’t know each other… ”

“Okay. Then, I guess I’ll have to make some time to move out.

You came to see him anyway, right?

It’s okay if you use my room.”

Vivian smiles and turns away.

As she slowly turned back and prepared to go back to the queen’s room, she secretly looked back and let out an angry voice towards Yui.

At the same time, Yui’s face was blushing and her body was shrinking slightly as Vivian looked at her with a subtle look.

“Oh… that is… Something like that… ”

“It will be for a while, but I won’t be able to come back as I want.

Wouldn’t it be better to fill your mind with peace of mind right now?

Well then, let’s see next week.”

Should we consider this as consideration in the sense that he is asking Ranie well?

Even though he did his best to deny it in front of Vivian when she was around, in the end, when she left, he quietly watched her.

The door closed behind Yui, who swallowed her saliva as if entranced and entered the queen’s room.

“Uuuut… ♡”

It wasn’t long before the girl’s desperate voice, as if she was running out of breath, was leaking stickily from the gap in the tight door.

.

.

.

Anyway, that’s how it happened, and Yui, who spent the day filling up her tentacles, was able to safely join the exploration team with Carla the next day.

“Wow… !! It’s a dungeon, Yui!!”

As if you have already experienced it once, a natural scenery begins to appear as the halo of light fades and your eyesight becomes accustomed to it.

As if to indicate that it was clearly different from the place they had been in before.

Looking at the cloudy sky in slightly gloomy weather, Yui quickly grabbed the back of Carla’s neck as she jumped forward slightly in excitement.

“Yes. It’s a dungeon.

So be careful… ”

However, just before Yui’s hand reached her, Carla had already jumped forward and accidentally bumped into someone.

Unlike the cute hiccup she made as if she was startled, the person she bumped into seemed to look back for a moment, but then looked straight ahead again, as if ignoring her.

“It… !? crime… sorry… !!”

“……”

“Carla! So calm down!!

We didn’t come here to have fun, right?”

“Ugh… sorry… … ”

Yui, who puffed out her cheeks as she listened to Carla’s sullen apology, was thinking that there might be a problem in the future, so she went up to the quiet person in front of her and started talking to her to apologize again.

“I… Sorry again.

My friend made a mistake… ”

However, Yui was puzzled by the other person’s unresponsive appearance and was about to step forward and show herself.

“……”

Yui was momentarily taken aback by the sight of the other person silently passing by her, moving forward, and the entire exploration group starting to move forward, but immediately returned to the procession.

“Yui!! We are this way!!”

“Ah… is it so. Come on, let’s go.

Don’t crash into me this time?”

Yui stared for a moment at the unknown person walking ahead, but soon, Yui’s steps, being dragged by Carla, were leading to where she was supposed to be.

‘The smell of medicine…

I think I smelled it somewhere…

That robe… A mage?

Why did the mage use the medicine…?’
