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

Somewhere

"Ugh! hm? Where am I?" The elf open his eyes as emerald pupil surmise after noticing the unfamiliar stone ceiling and realize, he is still inside the dungeon.

He's here a couple of hours ago, so trying to remember what happens, he hold his head.

"Argo-dono, you're awake"

"Ah, Mikoto-chan, actually your smell wake me up from my deep slumber hehe" Argo jested as Mikoto and him are only inches away after lifting up his upper body

"Argo-sama has a room to joke so I'm sure he's alright now"

"A-Argo-sama, thanks for saving us, because of your magic that we still walking in two legs right now"

After replying, Lilly and Haruhime from his field of view, talked

"Ahh such bliss, I woken up being circled by two beautiful missy and loli pallum—ack!"

Lilly thereafter pinch his leg, "Argo-sama, please stop joking around!"

"Kahah—A-alright alright by the way, where are we? And the others?" Argo then rub his aching leg

"Welf-dono and Bell-dono are scouting the whole 20th floor area. We were here to take shelter and guard you but were still at 20th floor"

Mikoto answers the elf at the same time he stands up while Haruhime gave him his 2 weapons. "Ah thank you Haruhime-chan. Alright ladies take the lead, we'll follow our comrade" after exhaling deeply, he ordered whilst Lilly and others is at the very front.

'Tiona-san, and that talking monster, what are they up to?' While thinking deeply, Argo followed suit.

"Are you really sure, Welf?"

"Yeah, I'm really sure. I haven't yet to see her engravement but I'm pretty sure, because that very sword is the first sword of Catana-san's worksmith and I am there. Oh yeah, I remember she will give that to her captain!"

Catana is not only just an adventurer, she's also a blacksmith from half bloodline of a werewolf and her development skill manifested after ascending. Because of this that she decided to not just become the backline support but also the blacksmith within their alliance and her familia when she realize that only having Welf as the sole blacksmith within the alliance is time costly and consuming and weary. So she decided to learn them under his tutelege.

"Maste—no. Commander Zetta?" Bell asks again, calling Zetta their commander is because he is the party leader of 'Godhood' Alliance expedition even though he never participated even once. But then, all of them can venture deep floor thanks for his plan bringing an alliance, so them calling him a 'commander' or 'leader' is deeply engraved within their thought everytime he is the topic

"Yeah I'm sure is, because the werecat is very happy after making that weapon" Welf then remember their conversation unside his workshop—

"Catana, thats not how blacksmithing works" Welf taught her a couple of times already on how to hammer with much strength but her strength isn't passable to even lift the newly tempered metals. he's worried so he help and guide her.

But noticing her hand is flickering and hammering the tempered metal nonstop with only light hit, he wanted to stop her but then she said a word that not a normal blacksmith would

"No, this is how 'I' did my work, this is 'my' worksmith" Catana instead answers.

"But thats not how—" he look at her but she is resolute and as if the 'I'm sure of what I'm doing' word is written within her face.

She then replied "Its alright, even if I dont have a strength for hammering, as long as I accurately and swiftly hammered them. Then I am a blacksmith. As long as I finish them with my hearts content. Then I am a blacksmith" and continued "Like captain said. Just like how I accurately and swiftly destroy monsters on my own way. I can hammer on my own way—"

"—But this time I'm not a destroyer but a creator"

"I have my own way, just like how we adventurers have our own adventures. I'm not a Crozzo but the skill of the legendary blacksmith from ancient time is only what I have, The bloodline of blacksmith is running through my vein, yes. But I have my own way of doing things—"

"—As long as I created weapon; Swift and accurate. Then I am a blacksmith on my own way"

That simple word made Welf smile with satisfaction and let her do what she want. He too has his own adventure and a blacksmith just like her, but they are different.

He hated his bloodline and instead creates normal weapon but that didn't change the fact that he love blacksmithing.

But this girl, not only she didn't care what kind of bloodline she has and not hating nor boasting it, she even created her own way of doing things to compensate what she was lacking, on her own way.

The man who forgot and/or wanted to forget where he came from and the girl who doesn't care where she came from.

Its the difference not in bloodline or their skills, but their will and passion to do the works that others cannot and love it with their hearts content. As long as they finish their work and the wearer loves it. That is

So remembering the word of her that she will gave the said sword to Zetta made the red haired blacksmith grind his teeth in frustration and anger

"Catana's blood and sweat! How come?!—" Theres no way their commander has been defeated by that minotaur and snatch away the sword because; one, he is too strong to lose and; second, he too has an inventory like what he gave to Lilly, so theres only one thing and that is for sure

"—he gave that thing to a minotaur, goddamnit!!"

"Welf" the blacksmith's shivering shoulder who cannot contain his anger feel the pat from his shoulder as his captain speaks. On the contrary, the little rabbit is very compose "I know, theres no way that minotaur could defeat him but—I'm sure master has his reason"

"F.u.c.k that reason! I don't care what reason he has! I will punch his face the next time I saw him! I don't care if I was beaten thereafter!"

"I know, but did master even try to harm us ever since? Did he even threat us to do the work for him? Yes he is stronger than anyone we encounter but he didn't order us to do the biddings for him and that minotaur is also. . .I think. . .b-but I'm sure he has his reason, for the present or for the upcoming future" the rabbit then continues "So welf. . .this event especially about that sword. Please keep it a secret from everyone. Only the two of us should know about it"

The red haired boy clenched his fist. He too knows what harm it cause if he blindly tell it to others. He cannot help it because that man, named Zetta is unpredictable and think about the future but— 'F.u.c.k! That bastard! Is he playing Catana's heart!?' the frustration is hitting him like a searing hammer.

"Ah you're here" Bell then look behind his back, hearing and saw Argo's group arrived made Welf snap back up.

"Whats the plan?" Lilly look towards them. This two person from Hestia Familia scouted the area to check if the amazoness or the minotaur is in here but they cannot find a bit of their track as if—

"Did they vanish?" Mikoto look from left to right and towards Bell and Welf. The two then shakes their head and confirmed

Argo sigh in defeat thereafter and look towards Bell, "so, Bell here is the little rookie huh" —'and the Argonaut Tiona-san are talking about' and thought so. Remembering how she merrily tell the story of an amazing adventurer, killing minotaur during level 1. Though he could do that because of his current equipent, he's abit of jealous towards this boy. . .

"Ah yes, he is. Our captain is the little rookie, did something wrong Argo-sama?" Lilly answered

"Ah no. . .t-theres not much time so, lets resume?"

" " "O-okay!" " " though they wanted to ask him a few questions, they only agreed for now.

Above the Surface, from the [Antares Mansion] at Deadalus area

"Artemis-sama! They're here again!" Before the voice reaches the goddess of the hunt, she's already looking below where many people are dispersed as if finding someone or something but one could see clearly that they are far too many. From different familia at that

"Its alright, don't make any more fuss" she said so towards the one of many loyal maid they hired who overlook their mansion's health and other major and miscellaneous job such as from cooking to cleaning to the gardening or teaching Al-miraj and goblins some normal means. Though at first, these maid are frightened, after noticing that they are harmless and so they try to make friendly and so this day came, as if the distance between monsters and human has dwindle down. . .

Artemis who look at the specific man, looking towards their mansion from time to time until their eyes met. But the man only nodded.

"Loki, Hermes and Ganesha Familia. why not any of them seeking any help or questioning us? are we that hopeless when Zetta-kun isn't around?" She said so.

Right now other than Zetta, her other familia members are outside the orario doing punitive quest. And only members remained is Musica and the blood elf, Ran who just arrived a couple of days ago.

But still, atleast she have to know what they needed in this area.

"Artemis-sama" Ran walks beside her and look the people from below. "Its almost been a week since they were searching here, right? what do you think they're doing?"

Artemis then replied "I too don't know what they want. But I hope this area is not going to become the battlefield"

She saw the pallum, Finn while commanding nonstop. Sometimes they gone and pop up again. Another thing is the tremor from below as if the ground is going to split apart, Artemis felt it and came to conclusion "is there another entrance here?"

Her muffled voice, Ran heard them and asks "Want me to investigate them, Goddess-sama?"

"No, don't. Its dangerous for you alone. Atleast not now"

Ran then nodded. Afterall she's not fitted for this scouting works. So Artemis decided to wait and see

BOOGOOM——!

Again, slight tremor could feel from below them like an heavy impact. Artemis frown and feel discomfort.
