The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard

49. Self-study week (2)

The dungeon exploration went very smoothly, to the point where it was colorless to be nervous.

Despite several encounters with monsters, the party was proceeding without difficulty.

“Two spider-type monsters in front, prepare for battle.”

A monster is caught by dark-type search magic.

As we prepare for battle and wait, two hideous man-sized spiders appear.

Koyono charges straight ahead and knocks on her shield to draw aggro.

“… … !”

When Koyono draws attention, Evan immediately flashes his longsword.

A mass of energy condensed from his sword, which radiated into sword energy, and a spider died as it was.

Kiek-

A spider monster that collapses while splattering green blood.

In the battle with Ryan, Evan showed a bad figure, but

It shows a good appearance when the formation is equipped.

There is only one left.

Wedge liquid!

The ice spear created before I knew it penetrated the spider’s body.

With a terrible sound of cutting flesh, the spider started to go mad…

“Oops, be careful!”

Because he couldn’t kill him in one hit, his aggro is directed towards Arlot.

A spider that frantically moves its feet to approach you.

It was a dangerous situation for Arlot, who is in a wheelchair.

That would be if she didn’t have a proper evasion method.

“… Kiek!?”

When Arlott pulls out a mirror from her bosom, her doll disappears in an instant.

The spider looked around in bewilderment, and I didn’t miss the chance.

My hand that grabbed the turn moved faster than anyone else and headed for the guy with the waist.

A monstrous dagger obtained from the treasure house.

The sword’s eyeballs grotesquely roll their eyes and cut through the air.

It created multiple alter egos in an instant, and-

It penetrated the disgusting spider’s face.

thud-

Only then does the giant spider’s body fall to the ground.

It was a perfect victory with no injuries.

“Look over there! It must be the end of the dungeon already!”

Having had a chat with the spider monsters five or six times, the dungeon was already over.

The place he reached was a huge hollow in the deepest part, where the huge dungeon core floated and geometric patterns flashed.

It seemed that the monsters had been dealt with roughly, so there was something I wanted to do.

“Everyone will be hungry, so let’s eat here and go home.”

“But, is it possible to light a fire here?”

Arlott looks back in amazement.

Certainly, to her eyes, this place looked like a closed labyrinth, but in reality it was not.

“It’s no problem to light a fire in the lowest room in the dungeon. Monsters don’t even enter this room. If you look below, aren’t there traces of a fire?”

“Come to think of it, it is… ”

In addition to the dungeon core, there were many miscellaneous things in the room on the lowest floor.

The most notable thing is that the branches of the trees, which looked like they were burnt, were scattered in a mess.

The lowest floor of the dungeon is judged to be a ‘rest room’ that cannot be entered.

Monsters can never enter, and it becomes a resting place where you can light a bonfire.

“Everyone put down their luggage or armament. I skipped lunch, so I’ll prepare a quick meal. ”

I put down my exploding backpack and skillfully prepared my meal.

Since these were the cooking utensils that I brought while sweating, I wanted to pull out the minimum number of mulberries.

First of all, it will start with the material handling.

I approached the spider monsters that had been dismantled.

“Ugh… Schmitz, why are they suddenly… ?”

“It may look a bit small, but it will taste good.”

“…Schmitz, can’t that be…”

“Because I learned how to take care of it. I’ll cook for you, you can trust me.”

Remove the manastone from the spider’s corpse and cleanly separate the poisoned sac.

It is a combination of Sebas’ survival education and the cooking method he learned in the kitchen.

Well, it’s not that Arlott and the other people around him couldn’t understand the reaction.

I had a similar reaction when I first encountered him in the wild.

“Mr. Evan washes the ingredients in the stream over there, and Ms. Koyono helps me prepare the dishes.”

“… … ”

“… I will help you for now.”

They are the party members who move in an orderly manner while not hiding their doubts.

“Then I’ll prepare the tableware. If I watch it any longer… I think I won’t trust Schmitz.”

It was a pity for her weak stomach.

One real taste would be awesome.

The menu will be stew and grilled leg.

The fragrant body is boiled with prepared vegetables and stew,

The chewy legs will be served grilled with spices and direct fire.

It would be nice to fill it with normal dry food, but isn’t there still romance?

As we were wrestling with the spider corpse, Evan brought the washed vegetables.

“Now, Mr. Evan, watch over the bonfire so it doesn’t go out. Koyono-san, could you cut the vegetables and meat into bite-sized pieces?”

Leaving Evan at the bonfire, he approached Koyono.

It was to hand over materials to be trimmed, and to share stories about the strange behavior he showed in battle.

“Miss Koyono. That thing you’re hiding in your waistband is a sword, right?”

“… ! this, this… ”

A sword about half the length of a katana visible through the gap in the armor at the waist.

She desperately tried to hide it, but it was too late.

I looked at her without speaking, and Koyono lowered her head and opened her mouth.

“… Do you remember what I said to the girl earlier?”

I retrace my memory in her words.

I touched on my trauma, she told me about the past, and I also confided in it.

And at the end…

[It’s not that Koyono-san holding the sword is weak, it’s that Koyono-san who couldn’t overcome that time is weak.]

In her appearance, I unknowingly reflected on my past, and gave her a lesson.

Now that I think about it, it was pretty embarrassing.

“You are trying to overcome the past. well… It won’t work.”

Koyono smiled wryly and raised her hand to the katana on her waist.

Just pulling it out is quite a dragon.

‘It was a bit strange even in the previous battle.’

She was the one who kept putting her hands on her hips when the war situation was favorable.

At first, I thought there was an injury, but when I looked closely, there was a sword there.

Through this, it was inferred that she was trying to use a sword.

“That’s a good attitude. But don’t overdo it. The most important thing is the safety of Koyono-san and everyone else.”

“… I’ll keep that in mind. Girl, you will definitely overcome it.”

I mean, I don’t want you to overdo it.

Koyono opened her serious eyes and was building up her will, so I just let her go.

She is the one who can barely face the past.

All I can do is cheer

After the conversation, we quietly prepared the ingredients and smoothly put the stew on the bonfire.

All preparations were completed by skewering the legs and grilling them.

At first, all three of them looked at it fearfully, but…

As the rich aroma of the meat rises, you start staring at the bonfire with sparkling eyes.

“It seems ripe. It’s still hot, so take it slow… ”

As soon as the story is over, Koyono picks the leg off the skewer.

Blow in your breath to cool the meat and crack open the skin, revealing the juicy meat inside.

He took it to his lips without the slightest hesitation, to the extent that his previous doubts were colorless…

“It’s delicious. The savory gravy is like grilled shrimp…!”

Koyonoda enjoys the meat while making pleasant sounds.

Arlott, who has been watching this, works hard with a spoon for the stew in the bowl.

In proportion to the speed of the spooning, Arlott’s expression gradually brightens.

I was glad to see that, so I poured another ladleful of stew into her bowl.

“I didn’t know that Lord Schmitz had a talent for cooking. Great.”

“Because I worked at the mansion all my life. That much is no problem.”

“Hehe, Schmitz is an all-around butler.”

I get compliments, but Arlott is more excited.

The servant’s virtue is also the master’s virtue, so he thought so.

“Come to think of it, Schmitz, haven’t you eaten yet?”

“My eyes are drawn to seeing everyone enjoying their meal.”

“Now, here.”

Arlott hands me a spoonful of stew laden with ingredients.

The spoon she used to eat was about to enter my mouth, so I’m a little hesitant…

“Su, the stew will be delicious even if it cools down a little, so please eat the meat first.”

Before I knew it, the skinned lean meat appeared in my field of vision.

It was a while to admire Koyono’s quick grooming speed.

Embarrassment prevails as the two women bring food to their mouths as if competing.

“Schmitz, you have to eat the stew first…!”

“You don’t have to eat meat first…!”

It feels like something is sparking, but it was a courtesy that I am grateful for both of them.

I put the stew and the meat in my mouth at the same time so as not to offend anyone.

Stew with the subtle scent of meat based on sampling,

Grilled meat that is well-balanced with spices.

Putting the two together in my mouth seems like such a luxury.

But why do the two of them look so bad?

I looked at Evan, wondering if he had done something wrong, but he just tilted his head and chewed his head in silence.

At the meal that followed, there was a strange chill in the air,

Everyone had a full meal, so the atmosphere soon became drowsy.

With that in mind, I was thinking about my next plan.

‘Go to the Hidden Boss Room.’

Most dungeons have boss rooms, but this dungeon does not.

Didn’t you come to the lowest floor after fighting a few battles with spiders?

The reason is that the boss of this dungeon exists in a hidden room.

And I was determined to go there.

‘I absolutely need that item to prepare for the midterm exam.’

Midterm exams are less than a month away.

A special item was needed to make it go smoothly.

And, I was able to get it from the hidden boss room of the dungeon here.

‘Was it like this… That’s right.’

Chuck tidying up the dishes moved along the wall of the restroom.

Among the rooms engraved with geometric patterns, there were several that only one block protruded.

As I carefully pressed the tiles in the order I remembered, a change occurred in the room.

Koogoo Palace-

“Whoa, Shu, Schmitz!”

“What happened!”

The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and the dome split left and right.

Eventually, the earthquake stopped and a passage large enough for several people to pass was created in the place where the geometric pattern had been.

A secret passage was opened.

“I think it might be a hidden room in a dungeon.”

“Sue, the hidden room… ? If we are the first to discover… ”

“All the by-products from this will be ours, and it will be quite advantageous when writing the report.”

Bondi by-products obtained from dungeons had to pay a certain percentage to the area,

The by-products of the first dungeon we discovered were 100% ours.

Besides, if you say a hidden room, you can get good materials and items.

They must be aware of this fact.

“What do you think, Prince Arlot?”

“If you go in and think it’s dangerous, can’t you leave?”

Koyono and Arlott’s eyes twinkled.

Seeing the scenery for the first time strangely stimulated the adventurous spirit of the two.

“Then, prepare for battle.”

Just as you attacked the wave of monsters you’ve encountered before without any problems,

The boss monster on the other side of the room will move as expected.

I stepped forward with such expectations…

I realized belatedly that such an expectation was just my wish.
