Is It Wrong For A Gamer To Be In The Dungeon? Familia Myth Of Zetta

The next day after Zetta awaken from his 3 days of slumber.

"Mind if I aks what happened before and after I lose my conciousness? all I remembered is.. urgh!?" Zetta are alone with Ryu, afted coming at Hostess of Fertility just this morning and talk to big dwarf, Mama, about borrowing her sole elf maid. She refuses him but approved afted telling her he'll eat later along with his Familia.

And so they arrived at the fountain near Babel and asks Ryu one question—thats bothering him— to start the conversation. But he's mind turned numb and can't remember what happened 'the f*ck!? I can't remember   a single detail after killing Goliath!! how is it possible?'

"You, remember now?" Ryu find herself looking straight at Zetta and hold his forehead, whilst made the latter turned red as tomato. He stiffened. He coudn't let himself fl.u.s.tered but he turned cold

"No.. I.. I mean.. not a single thing!" he replied and at the same time Ryu contract her hands. He then look at her "did you know?". Ryu nodded "a little bit before you lose your conciousnes for good"

"Would you please tell me?"

"No. It was you who said them yourself. That I won't tell them to you, 'again"

"Ha!? how come I know what I was doing from that time but I forgot!?"

"Well if thats all of what you want, I should take my leave, then" she stands up and walk away. But she felt hurt

when Ryu walked towards the Hostess of Fertility away from Zetta. She freshly remembered what was happened..

The time after the battle of celebration. Adventurers are gathered towards Bell Cranel and his party, tossing them up in amazement. And because Ryu can't communicate with others and she still has bounty on her head, she distanced herself away from them, she smiled that even Mord, the one who jealous from Bell Cranel's achievement as 'Record Holder' and beaten him the last time was also happily celebrating his feat with the party. When she look at Artemis as if looking for someone, she move towards the Goddess. "Did you see him?" who the Goddess talking is about her sole male member, Zetta.

The elf then decided to find him. for the Goddess not to get worried.

After hearing voices not far away after she dash out to find him, she stealthily came in "...you know! Then why did you did that!? whats your purpose!?" It was the irritated Zetta that was talking to Hermes

"Yes, it was my doing. You should know, a God should not be here inside the dungeon. I release a tiiiiiny glimps of my power but never would've thought to be that powerful who should came off. and thus created Calamity. I'm veeeery sorry" and followed "But I didn't regret what I did. The era of Heroes are coming. and we need 'more' Heroes as timely as possible, otherwise, the lower world will.."

"What Heroes? Even Gods are fantasizing about mere Heroes!? About fairy tales!? then, was it okay for you to die here just to create those sh*tty Hero you're talking about!?"

"Haha, sh*tty Heroes my ass—and yes. I'm happy to sacrifice myself just to create the mere Hero you're talking about." Hermes sneer at the same time. Zetta didn't know if he's serious or joking.

"If you want to get killed then die. Leave my Goddess or Hestia away from your trouble.." Zetta warned him as his hands are trembling.

Seeing his face, Hermes then said "I'm sorry. Truth is, it was I who should only here. but Hestia insists on coming, so does your Goddess. You saw it too. before we came out of Hestia Familia's residence" at the same time, Zetta felt that Hermes return his composure, he then followed, "Once more.. you did it one more. and I'll send you to heaven for sure!" Zetta then leave the God alone

Hermes look at Ryu's hiding spot and move his heel thereafter.

In a place near where Ryu bathed the last time—Zetta climb atop of the highest tree and lean his body in its trunk and let his legs lay in straight. Ryu are keeping herself hidden while looking at his calm demaenor but his face are still troubled. Sighing, Ryu move towards below him. Feeling her presence below, he looked at her and smile "yoh!~ why are you here?"

Ryu at the same time leaped up and land near his feet. She uncover her hood and look where he look.

"You heard my confession and my sin to Bell Cranel. But once you never look away or detest me, even during our raid." she opened up. And look at his face to change but didn't. He only look at her like usual

"why would I?" Ryu was surprised by his words. "whats important is the current Ryu, the current you. Ones harship will shape the person become a person." his words made Ryu confused "Adventurer have their secret or two.. if I detest you. then I should detest myself too."

"what... do you mean?" She's now are more confuse than the last time 'is he a murderer too?'

Zetta then looked at her for a couple of minutes and change the subject..

"This is the first time I felt it.. would you mind I hold your hand?" Surprised by his words, she subconciously move her hands away "its alright. This is the first and last favor from you, this heart of mine. is keep on thumping just watching and talking to you..", 'that even in my past world, Asuki and Rumi are only friends for me'

"..why? I have an item here to destroy the memory of mine, for half an hour during its activation"

"Destroying, you mean you won't remember them anymore?"

"Yes, I have it after killing the Red Goliath"

"Why? why would you do that!? Then, you, talking to Hermes just now. You won't remember them too!"

"I don't care. I'm sure will threaten him again just to protect my Goddess. and its only you and me who know what he says. minus one, means he can freely move again and I don't care. Because, I can't digest what he said. So maybe firgetting them is the best course of action for me.. what you heard is only the surface of reality. So forgetting them might not trouble me in the future"

"Then.. why do you want to forget what happened today?"

"Hehehe, thats my selfish d.e.s.i.r.e. I told you, no matter your answer, I'll destroy this memory" Zetta follows "I saw how you attached and intimate you are to Bell Cranel. if its only affection or—" Zetta didn't stop his hand touching Ryu's ",—love.. I'm in love too.. thank you" she holdbher two hands as his heart didn't stop thumping instead it raised higher the he touches them.

"This isn't happened.. after this.. please forget about it too.. forget what I said.. Forget everything.. if you want.. you can forget me too.. don't talk to me again. Well I was happy if you didn't detest the future me.. but I'm sure won't stop myself from loving you. The current you! The current Ryu! but please.. never tell to the future me of what happened today" He then jumped down and swept his face. 'I don't need weakness more than my Goddess, protecting both of them at the same time, I'm not a super human.. too bad, I already created feelings for her before the battle of Red Goliath'. and so he rush away from the dazed and silent Ryu who, for the first time in her life receive a heartful confession. After that, Zetta found unconcious. And at the same time, without doubting herself. Ryu fetch him in princess carry and dash outside the dungeon and have him at Dian Cecht Familia.

Return back to the present.. Ryu are still walking towards her work "Baka! how should I forget all of that!?" as she silently clenching her fists
