58 – The Uninvited Guest (2)

For now, I put my thoughts on Einberg aside and decided to enter the dungeon first. To be honest, there’s an 80% chance of meeting you, but it could be that you’re just flirting first.

A full-fledged social gathering begins after conquering the dungeon.

After cultivating camaraderie together in the dungeon, shouldn’t we get closer if we eat together? It was for this purpose that I came in the morning. From lunch to dinner, we plan to eat, drink, and play together.

Pour it, drink it, let’s have fun!

“Okay, let’s check each other’s equipment.”

Each of them nodded at me one by one, each holding their preferred weapon.

Excluding Rakkad’s one-handed sword and Professor Ruktae’s staff, there are only truly unique weapons.

Me and Aisha had a magic circle, Tinyashif had a subspace pouch, the saintess had a small bell, Myna had bare hands, and Serien had a sharp metal kite shield and a round buckler in each hand.

Seeing all the equipment worn like this makes me feel strange because it seems like a plausible party was organized.

‘Everyone’s personality aside, their abilities are good.’

That’s why it pisses me off even more. Are personality and ability inversely proportional?

“Master, I will be waiting outside.”

“Uh, the chefs sent by the principal will come later, so prepare well.”

“Please leave it to me.”

We left Ramina Sis, who bent her back deeply, and calmly moved her feet into the dungeon.

After Master and Aisha-sama entered the dungeon with others, they only raised their heads when they were invisible.

Then, I remembered once again what I had been wondering about.

‘Why?’

Why did the owner choose an artificial dungeon as a picnic spot? When I go on picnics with Aisha-sama in the ice castle, I go to the middle of the snowy field…

‘It’s from there.’

It seems that the standard for choosing a place is very different from others.

Actually, it doesn’t matter. It is the fate of a maid to willingly jump into the lava field of the west if the master commands it.

I immediately took a closer look at the things that the hairless human had prepared.

There shouldn’t be any inconvenience after the master returns from the dungeon. That’s the maid’s shame.

‘Perfect.’

There is even a bed to match the taste of Aisha-sama, who likes to sleep with the owner’s favorite ingredients. And it’s perfect to cover it with a cloth so that dust doesn’t cover it.

I thought I was a very unreliable person, but it would be okay if I raised my value a little. At this level, you can trust and entrust the care of the owner.

After completing all the checks, slowly opened the mana and spread it around. To do what my master asked me to do.

‘…Quite strong.’

I don’t know what kind of preparation the master has prepared, but I can feel two strong man’s energy in the dungeon.

That’s a bit stronger than the master who has both become weak. So, he’s weaker than me.

Still, I am not worried at all.

‘I’m sure you’ll be fine.’

Master, the original ability is also an ability, but when it really starts to get scary, it’s after using the ‘Sealed Divine Sword’ and ‘Summoning Magic’.

At least one summoning magic exceeds Aisha-sama’s skill.

When I thought of the image of my master commanding his own army in front of hundreds of dragons who were prepared to die, I got goosebumps all over.

“Power. Set.”

That one word you chewed dry and spat out still sometimes appears in my dreams.

I still can’t forget the feeling of seeing the dragons lined up during the war, frozen colder than the land of the cold and with emotionless eyes.

No dragon has ever experienced this.

The indifferent stare of one of the strongest, one who commits an idyllic slaughter, considering himself merely a target for slaughter.

Even I forgot my hatred for Aisha-sama and trembled in fear.

‘It’s really… Fortunate.’

Since the end of the war, thanks to constant efforts to get out of that time, he gradually stopped showing his appearance like a reaper carrying death.

I think the reason why you sometimes look too young is part of that effort. You’ve skewed to one side for so long that you can’t fathom the tip of the scale towards the other side.

When I thought of my master, I missed him again even though we had just broken up.

‘I also wanted to go with you.’

Suppressing the sad feeling that raised his head slightly, he clenched and opened his fists.

I wanted you to take me too, but today I wasn’t that sad. Yes, because I had a mission that the master himself asked me to do.

‘It was good.’

He renewed his mind and set foot into the woods.

What the master asked for was simple. It was a dangerous job that could not be entrusted to that shiny-haired person, so he dared to tell me.

“Ask for someone who can block the retreat. To the point where they can break through if they try.”

Capture strong creatures and block the entrance to the dungeon. It’s such a simple thing for me.

When I asked if I could bring a dragon that had just become an adult, he refused like a knife.

Why? There’s no way the master would use summoning magic, so wouldn’t it be just right if we averaged things including Aisha-sama?

Master is also in a weakened state, and he must fight while protecting the humans who get in the way in a cramped space.

First of all, I looked around to find an object suitable for the master’s words.

‘As a weaker entity…’

However, there were no animals to be seen in the forest. Even the trees are afraid to drop their branches toward me.

It’s like this even though I only released a little bit of my mana. Like weak creatures. This is why it is impossible to trust creatures that grew up in a comfortable environment. I had no choice but to go to another place.

As he released a little more mana, a pair of wings appeared from his back, and some horns grew. It came a little closer to its original form.

It spread its wings and soared into the sky, then headed for the desert beyond the mountains. I can feel the aura of mana a little stronger here.

At the same time as I lightly set foot in the middle of the vast sand desert.

“Kikiiik!!”

Two huge scorpions came out of the ground.

Also. The stronger the individual, the more sensitive it is to encroaching on its territory. Even if it is strong, it is relentless.

‘Something good.’

First of all, I like the momentum. It was definitely an entity called Quad Scorpio. Creatures that always come in pairs, each with four claws.

But two are too much. Even one is a bit ambiguous. While I was thinking for a moment, one of them swung a claw at me.

Slow enough to let out a sigh. After thinking about it for a while, I came up with an appropriate word.

“Wok(爆)”

Then, the mana containing her lightning seeped into her pincers, and immediately caused a huge explosion. Her scorpion, having lost one of her arms in the blink of an eye, kicked back behind her.

I haven’t lost my fighting spirit yet, but I don’t know when I’ll run away.

“Park(縛)”

As chains of electricity entwined their bodies and paralyzed them at the same time, they twisted their bodies grotesquely and collapsed into the sand. I was easily overpowered with just two dragon words.

I’m a little worried if this is enough. Wouldn’t the master be disappointed in me for not carrying out his orders properly?

At the moment I was wondering if it would be okay to take it as is, a new entity suddenly popped out from under me from the ground.

A scorpion that is 1.5 Times larger than these scorpions and has a black shiny carapace.

I realized right away. This guy is the boss

‘This should be enough.’

Even the owner will be satisfied with you.

“Paralysis”

So please don’t die.

I managed to catch the boss scorpion and return safely to the front of the dungeon. My heart was full at the thought that my master would already be satisfied and praise me.

“Kikki! It sucks!”

This scorpion still wanted to communicate with me rather than attacking me, a strong person, as if he had some intelligence. But do I have the jaw to understand that lowly cry?

‘How dare you interrupt my master’s time to think.’

It’s rude. It was noisy, so I hit it on the head a few times, and then it became quiet with a squeak.

That’s right. The owner doesn’t like noise. Although it is a little bigger than the entrance to the cave, it should be enough to block the entrance.

Now, the preparations are perfectly finished.

All that remains is to wait for the owner and any uninvited guests.

“And a strange man with a scythe and shouting ‘Einberg’ might come. At that time, you can call the dragon slaughter squad under your authority, so don’t let them inside.”

Einberg? It’s the first name I’ve heard of.

While preparing for the war, he had memorized at least the names of the continent’s strongmen. But the name Einberg is not on that list.

If it’s a name I don’t know, it’s probably just that the master told me to prepare for any unexpected situation. Also my master. He is a man without gaps.

“Squeak… Squeak…”

Now completely giving up resistance, the scorpion quietly crouched next to the cave. How could such an intellect exist in a trivial subject? Wouldn’t it be okay to keep it as a pet?

While waiting, I didn’t have anything to do, so I kept watching and he started to look cute little by little.

I should at least give it a name.

‘Because it’s a black scorpion… A black scorpion? Black?’

I couldn’t think of a name I liked, so I decided to call it ‘Kkamangi’ for now.

When the master comes back, I’ll have to get permission to keep him.

—–

Around that time, Laminasis was giving (?) Kkamangi something cute.

The members of the Cooking Research Club who entered the dungeon were all thinking the same thing as they watched the dungeon spread out in front of them.

‘What kind of dungeon is this?’

From nob le mt l. co m

Maina and Rakkad, who had never set foot in a dungeon in their lives, and even Tyr, who requested remodeling of the dungeon, thought so, so there was nothing more to say.

[ Welcome to the dungeon! Stranger! ]

A placard stuck on itself. It is shining dazzlingly as if it has been coated with magic.

I didn’t make the entire entrance to the cave like that as my last conscience, but that alone was enough to break the tension.

‘Principal…!!’

Tyr seriously contemplated whether to retrieve his hair again while washing his face dry.
