by volume 2
After Hestia, who was panting breathlessly, stopped in front of Bell, her cheeks were dyed red and she nervously asked.
“H…How is it, is it suitable? I slightly changed my appearance……”
“……Ah, yes, suitable, very suitable! Um, how should I say it, I should say that Kami-sama is more dignified than usual……Anyways, it means that it is very beautiful!”
While blushing, Bell desperately tried to use his poor vocabulary and praise Hestia.
Probably, these praises also included the side of respecting the Gods, but the beginning phrases leaked out were due to his own embarrassment. Indeed at that moment, Bell was fully absorbed in looking at Hestia.
Good, Hestia did a victory sign within her heart.
“I originally wanted to come earlier. Sorry Bell-kun. Did I keep you waiting?”
“N…No, I also just arrived.
As expected. He was trembling unnaturally.
Towards the dialogue that seems just like a real date, Hestia felt that as if her strength was currently flowing to her cheeks.
Even if she hates the developments later on, her chest still throbbed, and her emotions soared.
“Then what’s next Bell-kun? You have to protect me well tonight, okay?”
“Y…Yes”
Then he smiled and stretched out his hand, Bell’s leadership was about to be bestowed to her ——But right before this moment.
Suddenly, a commotion stirred up in a corner of Amor’s Square.
“Ah, found her…!?”
“Hestia is there!”
“In other words……The one next to her is!”
It was the Goddesses. Without exception, a group of beautiful females was currently heading here to launch a massive attack.
Next to the stunned Bell, Hestia widened her eyes to the very limits.
“Seizedddddd!!”
“Ah~Eh~, it’s quite cute!?”
“So Hestia like this type of child”
“Mu…Mubuuuuu!?”
The wave of Goddesses instantly pushed Hestia away and swallowed Bell.
Numerous hands constantly pulled Bell’s body and alternately hugged him tightly inside their chest.
Within this heavenly cage that did not guarantee any breathing, Bell’s face instantly flushed and burned up.
“W…W…What……!?”
“Sorry, Hestia. We were still so curious about your child, thus we followed you over……Ahhhh, I can’t stand it, he really looks like a rabbit”
“Nnnnn ————, Nnnnnnnnn——————!?”
“B…Belll————kun————!?”
Hestia’s cries burst out.
Being tightly sandwiched by Demeter’s overwhelming boobs, that were unmatched compared to the other Goddesses, Bell’s life was already fading away like a lit candle in face of the wind. Every time Demeter’s hands lovingly stroke Bell’s hair, Hestia’s chest would feel a pull, and her eyes seemed to be leaking out bloody tears.
Her own dependent, under the curious fingers of other Goddesses, was currently being ravaged without mercy.
Then, just when Hestia’s mental state was about to collapse…
A ragged Bell, who had half of his body still engulfed by the Goddesses, appeared between the gaps.
“Kami…Sama……”
“A…Are you okay, Bell-kun!?”
“……I, already, have no more regrets…….”
Dogooo, towards Bell’s legs, Hestia kicked out with her toes.
“I’m very sorry……!!”
“Okay, we have to escape now!”
Forcibly pulling one of Bell’s leg, Hestia began to flee.
Taking advantage of the gap where the Goddess was frozen due to their prey disappearing, she escaped from Amor Square.
In order to get rid of the stubborn pursuit from the Goddess, Hestia and Bell were fleeing towards the center of the city.
× × ×
“Ah~Ah~, so that’s why I say Gods, these group of people!? They are all too faithful to their own desires!”
“Ha, Haha……!”
Next to Hestia, who was shouting loudly, Bell only gave a wry smile.
Even though they had finally gotten rid of the pursuit, they were currently located at West Main Street Area’s outskirts in a certain old clock tower. The brick constructed, single floor tower had already lost its function and the clock that could not issue a chime was currently hanging over their heads.
After hurriedly rushing into this clock tower in order to hide from the pursuit of the Goddess for a while, Hestia and Bell was finally able to obtain brief period of rest.
“It is already this late……Ha, since it was rare to have a date with Bell”
“D…Date?”
There was not much time before the date changes. While she was using her hand to comb back and forth the messy hair, which was because of running everywhere, Hestia let out a deep sigh.
Why is there so much trouble today, she let out a powerless sigh.
“Ah……K…Kami-sama, please look!”
“……?”
Bell issued a clear voice and pointed at a certain direction.
Just as Hestia turned around, what entered her gaze was the labyrinth’s city’s night scene that was like the stars shining brightly within the sky.
The numerous Magic Stone Lamp emitted different colors of light, and lit up the entire city.
Even in this dark night, the huge tower with white walls in the center was currently heading forward endlessly into the sky.
To this beautiful night scene that could be seen from the clock tower, Hestia’s gaze was temporarily taken away. She wordlessly looked next to her, Bell, too, within his eyes, was staring at these bright lights as he watched the scene.
Soon, Bell, who noticed Hestia’s gaze, had his cheeks filled with a gentle excitement. As if his own feelings were overflowing from his chest, he moved his lips to slowly weave out the words.
“That, Kami-sama……One day, let’s go together again. Next time, we would, absolutely would”
“Bell-kun……”
“Until that time, I will work hard to save more money than now. Then we’ll go to eat delicious food, drink tasty thing……Then, we’ll come here together again”
“……”
“Today we were very lucky to see such a beautiful scene……That, we should come see it again, just the two of us”
That’s why today looks like it wasn’t in vain.
He was very happy to be able to come here together with his Goddess.
Bell seemed to encourage Hestia as he spoke. The words were not to comfort her, but rather to express the feelings from deep inside his heart.
Looking at the blushing face as if there was a fever, the carefree smile of the boy, Hestia felt that something inside her chest was currently throbbing. Then she quietly narrowed her eyes.
It was not like he was saying one thing, but meaning something else. This snow-like purity, and the incurable idiotic smile, instantly made her his prisoner.
Towards Bell, who made the memories of today as a promise for tomorrow…….This Goddess felt that she was deeply in love with him.
“……I’ll look forward to that, Bell-kun?”
“Yes”
She also let off a blooming smile, Hestia and Bell looked at each other and smiled.
Not long after, they would look at another direction and once again look at the scene outside of the clock tower. It was a time period that was silently committed to just the two of them.
Hestia, who moved swiftly and successfully, reduced the gap between Bell. Her cheeks became slightly red and the corner of her eyes also gently relaxed.
(I originally wanted to hear more about the things about that Supporter……Fine, I’ll forget about it just for today)
Hestia, who did not want to do anything that would destroy this atmosphere, stared out at the night scene in front of her eyes and thought.
While feeling
the warmth from the close proximity of the boy, she smiled and closed her eyes.
The cool night wind blew past the hair ornament on her wrist, and the tiny bells were gently shaking.
Chapter 3: Magic is a Magic that will summon a Lap Pillow
A silver flash rushed past.
“Guoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!?”
The skeleton Monster
On top of the bones that were based off a human, the Monster was covered by a armor-like bulging figure. It was proud of its sharp shape. On its hand, there were varieties of white bone weapons so that the figure was enough to directly call it a bone warrior.
Stuck within the range of
“……”
The swordsman that released the attack, whichfelt like a cold night evoking into the depths of the heart. Swiftly, following the sound of the wind, lowered the tip of the rapier towards the floor.
Bones, Bones, Bones, Bones.
Within the current range of the field of vision, numerous bone fragments were scattered. These already unrecognizable white remains were undoubtedly the end of more than 10 Spartois,
Golden Hair and Golden Eyes.
A female with an appearance not inferior to the Gods, was currently standing in silence at the center of the Monster cemetery.
“In the end, she defeated it all by herself……”
“Even though if she struggled a bit more, then she would look more cute……”
To the grumblings of her companion, whether she was listening or not, the girl with long golden hair ——Aizu Wallenstein, silently placed her rapier back into its sheath and turned to their direction.
“Okay okay, Good work Aizu~! Did you bring recovery potion? Elixir? How about sharing Aizu’s favorite red bean, cream taste potato croquettes!?”
“No problem, Tiona. Thank you……I want the last one”
“Anyways, since there were no injury, there is absolutely no need for the recovery potion”
“No matter what, most of the Monsters have already been dealt with……What should we do next, Finn?”
“Nnnn…, shouldn’t we head back soon? Originally, today was just for fun. However, since we stayed here for so long and Monsters will continue to emerge when we are heading back, it will be difficult to deal with. Riveria, your opinion?”
“It was currently at the 37th floor. In the depths of the dungeon that was called as the Deep Floor Area, a few members of the
Just as the word “Fun” described it, this was different than the
Actually, it also had the purpose of wasting some time.
Being able to say words such as fun in the Deep Floor Area, where many Adventurers never took a step inside, their strength belongs to another dimension.
“If this is the captain’s commands, then let’s do that……Everyone, time to retreat!”
The elf, Riveria, who was surrounded by an aloof atmosphere, shouted.
The wheat-color skin of the Amazon sisters indicated their understanding. Aizu, who was holding carefully the broken fried potato croquettes, could not help but be depressed.
While heading to the depths of the dungeon, if you do not carefully manage the state of the food, then it will often have its drawbacks.
“Also, if Bate had also come this time, he would chatter nonstop, making others dislike him~. That kind of pretentious feeling will completely wither in front of Aizu!”
“When he sobered up after the feast that time, and was then politely told about the news of Aizu rejecting him, he became impressively depressed”
“UWAAA!? I really wanted to see! Why didn’t you tell me Tione~!”
Although they were preparing to retreat, there was almost nothing to do. The recovery of Magic Stone was the job of the Supporters. The earlier battle was completely taken by Aizu. The two Supporters, who had recently leveled to Lv.3, were currently collected the Magic Stone of the Spartoi. With the twins as the center stirring up things, a relaxed atmosphere flowed.
In the middle of this, from Aizu, who lifted her face from the potato croquette-kun, caused a ripple.
“……Finn, Riveria. I wanted to stand here by myself just for a bit longer”
The two people that had their name called out revealed a slightly different expression. Finn only widened his eyes slightly. Riveria instead, with an unchanging face, closed an eye.
Ignoring Tiona and Tione, who suddenly stopped all their actions, Aizu continued to talk about her opinion.
“It is okay to not give me food. After all, I do not wish to cause any trouble to others. Please”
“W…Wait a minute~! Aizu, the moment you said those words, you already caused us trouble! If we were to leave Aizu by herself in this kind of place, we will always be worried!”
“I also have the same opinion as Tiona. Even if the Monster level here is lower, the act of leaving a companion in the Lower Floors, I absolutely cannot do it. It is too dangerous”
Facing Tiona, who had both hands on her hip and even leaned over so that her nose was almost in front of her face, Aizu slightly revealed a perplexed expression. She could not parry the assistance attacking from Tione either.
The content of what they just said was, without a doubt, the correct choice.
“Why is Aizu so keen to fight? Aizu is such a beautiful girl, what a waste~. If you were more girlish~. I, who’s an Amazon, would prefer to dress up instead!”
“For me……This sort of thing, ah, forget about it”
“Why? A strong male……you’ve never encountered a male that you fancied? Is Aizu’s beautiful face just only a decoration?”
“You. About the things that even you are powerless against, don’t try and force it on others”
Towards the stubborn Aizu, who lowered her head, Riveria, who stepped in from the outside, sighed.
She then turn around to Finn and said.
“Finn, I’ll request you as well. Please respect Aizu’s will”
“ “Riveria!?” ”
“Nnnn……?”
The Hobbit, who was shorter than anyone at the scene, looked at Riveria as if he was trying to inquire the true meaning of her words.
“This child has this kind of stubborn personality. I hope you accept my suggestion.”
“That type of feeling of a parent protecting their child would only reap what you sow, Riveria. What Tiona and the others said is more reasonable. As the one responsible for the team, I cannot permit it”
“I am conscious that I am spoiling her……Then”
Riveria, who sighed a second time, cast her gaze towards Aizu.
Seeing that the girl, who rarely shows any emotion, revealed an ashamed gaze. This time she was self-ridiculing herself.
“Then I will also stay too”
To serve as Aizu’s support, Riveria wanted to convey this intent.
Finn, who was looking into her eyes, placed his hand underneath his jaw. Then he slowly nodded.
“I understand, permitted”
“Ahhhh~ Finn~. Convince them~”
“Riveria leaving words about staying behind was unexpected. With this, they should not experience any big mistakes. Instead, it’s possible for our side to encounter danger when heading back.”
“I am not that good at attacking and healing, captain”
After a while, the team had made their decision.
Finn, who joined the side of support, split apart from A
izu at that spot.
At the only exit of the room, when Tiona left, she would still whistle and wave her hands substantially.
“Thanks, Riveria”
“Originally I wanted to talk to you alone, but now even more. I will not intervene, but at least allow me to complain a few sentences.”
“……Sorry”
In the depths of the dialogue, which started without looking at each other, you could vaguely see the feeling of trust.
The 37th floor was shrouded by a thin layer of darkness that was distinctly different than the floors above. The space above their head seemed to continue endlessly, and it is impossible to use the naked eye to see the ceiling. It was occupied by a despair-like darkness.
The white walls would emit lightly equally, and by relying on this candle-like light, you can ensure your vision.
Both of them were not moving temporarily and just stood there. Just when Riveria revealed a surprised expression.
As if she noticed something, Aizu pulled out her sword.
“Coming”
“What?”
Towards the beautiful face that was slightly bandaged, just when Riveria was about to inquire, what did you say—— She also quickly noticed it.
The floor of the dungeon that they were standing on was currently shaking.
“It can’t be……”
As if she was agreeing with the whisper-like phrase, Aizu’s gaze was currently looking at the center of the room that was gradually bulging.
In the next instant, the earth was torn apart.
Being pressed by a large amount of soil pieces, a never seen huge head seemed to have his face come out from the ground.
“——OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”
The ferocious wails were fired off directly above.
The monster that was screaming towards the sky was enormous. It was over 10 meters.
The entire body was a huge body with pitched-black bones. It’s lower body was still underneath the ground. The giant monster that was like a scaled-up version of the Spartoi, and had its Magic Stone floating outside in midair.
“I see. It has already been 3 months……”
Normally, the amount of Monsters on each floor was to be determined based on each type.
It will not increase past a certain number. Reducing it is the only way the dungeon walls will give birth to new Monsters. Although the time a Monster is born is different on each floor, the longest it can take won’t be longer than a single day.
