Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka volume 2

Among these, there exists Monsters that require a certain period of time and will temporarily not appear after death.
In addition, it was confirmed that there will only be one of these special Monsters in each floor.
Is it because of its strength, or perhaps it is too huge? Reasons aside, on the floor that it was born on, only one of them are allowed to wander around.
The guild that had survived from the ancient times, had begun to call these special Monsters as:
“Riveria, don’t help”
Aside from having a special time interval, the other common point for these different forms of
It was said that, based on the floor’s Lv., you would have to add 2 to it.
They were feared by Third-Class Adventurers and above, who seemed to have given it the name of the Floor Boss. Normally, you would need a large amount of Adventurers to form a party. This was an existence that required all of them to attack it together.
“Aizu, do you really intend to do it by yourself?”
With a dangerous gaze, Riveria asked.
Aizu only lifted her silver sword, and quietly approached the Monster
“No problem”
Called by the Gods as
“It will end quickly”
A week later, a rumor about the

“……”
Bell stopped walking.
Just when they were walking up the stairs that connected the 2nd floor to the 1st floor, he turned around and looked towards the bottom.
“What is it, Bell-sama?”
“……Just now, didn’t the dungeon shake?”
Being stared by Lili, who was following closely, he stared straight at the 2nd floor’s ground, no, even further down. it should be the wider floors below, and cast a gaze towards there.
“Shake, was it? Lili did not feel anything at all?”
“……Was it a misconception?”
Bell attempted to rouse his mental state, but even when he had waited, nothing had happened. Although he tilted his head as if it were strange, but then he still accepted the conclusion that it was just misconception.
“Today was rather long”
“Yes. In some ways, that is correct. After all, it is already 12 o’ clock midnight now”
“Eh, it can’t be!?”
Yes, Lili replied with a golden pocket watch in her hand.
The short hand and long hand perfectly overlapped at the location of the number 12.
“UWAAA, I completely didn’t notice it……”
“Because at the last moment, we were still being eyed upon by groups of Monsters”
There was no time to spare to confirm the time, Lili shook the luggage on the back while saying this. The large-sized backpack, which was filled with large amounts of Loot, was currently about to explode.
It has been several days since the two of them had signed the contract.
Under Lili’s assistance, Bell can be described as having successfully passed through every day. Or perhaps, it should be that he was finally on the right track as an Adventurer, and it gradually settled down. The efficiency of hunting Monsters also increased each day, and the amount of income each day could not be compared with when he was alone. He was currently in a readiness posture to rush towards his goal.
Just by adding a Supporter, there was actually such a difference. Bell frequently expressed his surprise.
On the other hand, to Bell, who was obviously still a rookie Adventurer, he was constantly breaking his record of monsters killed each day. Lili could only be amazed.
“So that’s about it Lili. Today’s income is also split equally okay?”
“……Bell-sama, it would be better if you understand more about common sense and being more materialistic. Although Lili, who gratefully accepted this, should not say such things……But you’re too nice”
“But, doesn’t Lili also need money now?”
“Although that is true……but, perhaps Lili is worried about Bell-sama’s situation and cannot stand it anymore, or perhaps it would be like how I’ll be overly concerned about an acquaintance’s rabbit that they requested me to take care of……Nnnn~, in short, it feels like there is a sense of being misguided.~”
Recently, the number of complaints seem to have increased, Bell thought.
Not long ago, she had decided by herself to set the boundaries of Master and Follower. Now the feeling of regarding me as an outsider was gradually disappearing. Was it because their relationship was becoming more intimate, Bell felt that the gap between Lili and him was constantly being filled.
While dispersing the attacks from Goblins, Bell and Lili headed forward on the 1st Floor, and shortly, they left the dungeon. After taking a shower and running to the gold exchange, they finally stepped through the main doors.
“UWAAAA, really. It is completely dark……”
The sky surrounding Babel’s central square, the night had already fallen.
Inside the glamorous streets that had Magic Stone Lamps, the Lamps were leisurely emitting a bright light. It enveloped the silent night that was completely different than the morning.
On contrary to the time, the bars far away had only just begun to lit up like lights.
“……As expected, it really is big”
Bell, who had finished looking at the central square completely, finally fixed his sight behind him.
The huge tower that pierced through the dark night. The leisurely standing white wall skyscraper, was overlooking at Bell and the others.
The dark night was gradually becoming darker and now it was impossible to confirm the corners and edges. But Bell knew, this huge tower was embodied with ingenious concepts even to the tiniest details.
It was difficult to connect the internal functions together to the beautiful and artistic-like outside appearance. This was Babel’s serious appearance that the Gods had played around to the very limits. Bell continued to fix his gaze at the very top and let out a sigh.
“Babel, why is it so high? Although I heard that it leased out shops, but isn’t it bad to still continue to build it upwards after 50 floors……”
“Bell-sama, the guild only leases it to tenants up to the 20th Floor?”
“Eh……I…Is it like this?”
Towards Bell, who had his eyes turned into dots, Lili used her small lips to make a wry smile expression.
Bell, who was feeling a bit embarrassed, bluntly asked.
“If there is no shops there, then what is above the 20th floor?”
“God-sama lives inside, Bell-sama”
“……God-sama?”
“Yes. Although it is only limited to only a few
In the huge tower that could be called the symbol of the Labyrinth City, a few noble Gods that enjoyed luxury lived inside. To a certain extent, this was extremely natural.
Each room was decorated to the very limits of it being gorgeous and luxurious. Especially the view that they could look from, it will absolutely not be blocked. They will be able to watch the superb view of the majority of the city.
Since it was rented under the guild’s management, it would require a large living fee. Looking at this fee, you could already buy the most comfortable and high-class residence in Orario.
In other words, it is a high-class object that only permits the rich Gods to live in.
“Ah……, so there are some God-sama that do not live in their residence and specifically live somewhere else.”
“Just think of it as the territory of the God-sama, isn’t that okay? If there are God-sama that enjo
ys communication with Lili and the others, just like in the past, then there also exists God-sama that enjoys being aloof”
I see, Bell nodded as if he understood.
“Originally, Babel wasn’t such a huge tower. During the period where it only functioned as the
“Then, why did it become so big now?”
“When the gods have first descended upon this land, the tower was crumbling before……Just like this, the God-sama that was falling like a meteor, hit the top of the tower”
“……”
They deliberately ruined it, it cannot be helped if one thinks so.
The tower was finally completed. Just when the people on the streets were celebrating it with tears, it was suddenly struck and crushed by the Gods severely……Towards the old residents of Orario, who had their mouth half-opened, the appearance of Gods laughing while apologizing appeared in front of their eyes. Bell issued a dry laugh.
“Since then, the tower seemed to be called the
The Gods that destroyed the tower, in order to apologize, they recreated the tower……Why not say that they did a large contribution in suppressing the dungeon, Lili said. There was no other, it was the
Until the Gods had established the concept of
As a result, Babel has reached its present height and the side of it continuing to be the God’s home was also left behind.
“Anyways, I finally understand it a little……Uuueeeee, but just when I heard these rumors about the God-sama, I wanted to ask, is
“Perhaps they became annoyed with their work and wanted to escaped from it?”
Bell, who was originally looking up at Babel, turned to the direction of Lili after hearing such an unfamiliar way of saying such things.
“It is said that there are Gods in Heaven that must carry out their obligations repeatedly. The most representative example is that they manage the Lower World children like Lili and the others after they go on a long sleep.”
“In other words……”
“Yes. The whereabouts of the people after death.”
Just by listening to this, Bell suddenly felt that his heartbeat interval become shorter.
Although it was just words that was unrecognizable, but because since it was a destructive fate that is unavoidable, so he could only listen to it.
In short, the words that Lili had said is that Gods seem to be responsible for the Lower World people after death.
If you would have to describe it using words, then it would be the
It was said that it varies according to the Gods. The encounter after death could vary in many different ways. Allowing to live in Heaven, being awarded unimaginable pain and blame, being forced day after day to do meaningless heavy labour task……If it was to be listed out, the examples are endless.
The children from the Lower World that was liberated was managed singly by the Gods. It was completely irrelevant to whether if your actions in your lifetime were good or evil.
Whether the Gods like you, or dislike you. At that time, it will be based according to whether the God’s mood was good or bad. At that time, your fate was already decided on whether you would have good or bad luck.
Casually, without any rules and just based on their own arbitrary and biased opinion, that was the
“Nnnn, in the end most people are still able to reincarnate……In short, because of these things, in order for Heaven to compensate for the holes due to the sharp reduction of Gods, the remaining Gods have to work nonstop around the clock without any breaks or rests. It feels that their murderous intents are leaking out? The candidates that can go back to the Lower World was also based on these heavy
I do not want to go to that place, no, I don’t want to die……Bell seriously thought.
Right now, if he was to be in attendance with the Gods in Heaven, it feels like it will be just like the proverb that he would be welcomed to hell without any explanation. Just as a way to kill time.
Was this thought seen through, Lili looked at Bell’s face, shook her shoulders and secretly snickered.
Bell was also revealing a slightly poor and weak expression while laughing.
It feels that it was quite funny.
“……But, Lili had once also looked forward to death”
So that’s why.
This sentence undoubtedly became the wake up call for Bell.
“……Eh”
“Once, if I could return to God-sama’s side……Will the Lili that will be born next time become slightly more superior to the current Lili, what……”
Looking at Babel, no, looking at the endless night sky, Lili muttered.
Her hood tilted, and her chestnut color bangs were also separated, the big eyes that were revealed was currently looking out into the distance.
It was as if towards the endless pitched-black sky, she was embracing a painful yearning.
“Li……Lili!”
Bell called out once he had noticed.
It feels that if he didn’t call out, Lili would head towards an unknown place.
Lili slowly closed her eyes, she looked away from the sky, and turned her face, while being covered by her bangs, towards Bell.
“……Sorry, I said something weird”
“……”
“It was all in the past. Please don’t take it seriously. Even if it is this Lili, she is also still filled with vitality. Right now that kind of thing, I have never thought of it again”
Bell could not say anything.
That must be true. Yes, from the actions of the girl stretching her chest, there was no trace of any feeling of grief. She must have cheered up again.
However, because of this, Bell could not express his extra emotions that he carried or, moreover, convey it to Lili using words.
“Then let’s go Bell-sama, it is already that late. We must hurry back. Lili also must return to the
Accompanied by a bright smile, Lili turned her back towards Bell. Her tiny pace slowly walked forward.
Looking at her shoulder. Compared to the heavy backpack she was carrying, her shoulders seemed to be too slender.
Looking at the figure of Lili, who did not suit carrying the large backpack, Bell suppressed the choking feeling stuck in his chest, and desperately chased.
× × ×
“Is it. He has become stronger again”
A whisper echoed quietly in the air.
Looking at the distant white figure far below. It was chasing after another figure and gradually running into the distance.
She seemed to be indulged in excitement. Her burning gaze was tightly following the figure that was leaving.
The fluttering clouds, and the moon hanging from the night sky lit up the dark colored surroundings of the room’s interior.
It occupied the entire surface of the rectangular glass wall. It shined cleary upon the figure standing next to the window as if it was under a spotlight.
Wrapped by a slim, black evening dress was a slim and busty figure.
And bathed by the slight chill from the moonlight, was a layer of mystery white and delicate skin.
Her silver hair that was almost all the way to the waist was brilliantly shining, as if there were numerous ice crystal pieces drifting around.
“This is good. As long as you become more dazzling……”
Towa
rds the window that reflected her overly beauty, she ——Freya, seemed to be stretching her hands out as if she was grasping something, Kari, the glass issued a screech.
On the top floor of the huge tower Babel.
In one of the most superior rooms of this tower, she, as the owner of this home, was currently looking below at Bell.
“More and more dazzling? You, have this obligation after making me fall in love with you at first sight……”
In these pair of eyes, it contains a deep love, and it established the absolute sense of superiority between her and the existence that was inferior to herself.
Freya was already captivated madly. By Bell.
Abandoning these details, and simply allowing the fiery-like infatuation to be completely released, to this extent, the Goddess of Beauty was longing for this male day and night.
Freya has eyes, which should be called as
Although it was announced between the Gods that they were banned from using their
You could also call them as collectibles.
Those pair of eyes, that could grasp the color of the souls that are dead, earlier than anyone, had always collected the person she had liked.
After death, the people that had been accepted by
While waiting for their death, the people that were halted by her pair of eyes would receive supreme happiness.
Because they would be loved by her, who was known as the
Even though they would absolutely never be free, and would be chained down forever.
The Goddess, Freya, who was in charge of both Beauty and Love.
Holding both positive and negative sides, the bold and brutal Goddess of Beauty.
