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

“I understand! I already understand!?”
Towards the barely rational expression, Lili shook her head.
This is already not the time to have a grudge, while thinking about this, she handed out a small key jewelry towards the man.
“What is this?”
“Located at the east side of Orario, the key to the rental safe for the Gnome……”
“You mean a safe? How much money could be placed inside the tiny box……”
“What is inside are Gnome’s gems……”
“……I see”
The gems and minerals of Gnomes are all extremely expensive. There is a definite value and credibility to it. Lili turned the difficult to carry money into generally accepted gems and just incase, hid it into a rental safe.
Kanu, who revealed a thin smile, nodded and grabbed onto Lili’s skirt to carry her up. Then, she moved that light body in front of her eyes.
“K…Kanu-san……? Is there anything…….!”
“This looks a bit bad. Look at that side. It is already surrounded”
There were a group of almost over twenty Monsters that were gradually surrounding Lili and them. Luckily, there was still one exit that was still not blocked.
Lili, who was hanging from his shoulders could only, patapata, move her slender legs, but she could only swim in the air.
“Go be bait for me”
“!?”
“Arde, if you were to divert the group of insects, then we will be able to go out from the passage. Once we get there, there will not be a lot. As long as we were willing to take some time, we would be able to dispel them.”
She used fearful eyes to stare at Kanu.
Suddenly, she turned to the surrounding men, they, too, had a despicable smile on their face.
“You are useless if you do not have money. At the very least, you should still support us, right Supporter?”
She was thrown.
She depicted a parabola in the air and flew past the heads of the Killer Ants.
The Monsters made a sensitive reaction to Lili, who was flying past them, and stared at her.
Time had already stopped for Lili as she watched her companions escape with a big smile. Soon, she hit the ground.
Although the impact caused her breathing to stop, but that was it.
“……Ha…hahaha”
While lying down onto the ground and staring at the dungeon’s ceiling, Lili issued out a broken laugh. The Killer Ants move their claws towards her and turned around.
Finally, this last old trick, Lili could not help but want to laugh.
As expected, Adventurers are not to be trusted.
If this is how you treat me, who had done the same acts, then it has gone too far. This is what Lili thought.
(……Ahhh, but)
This, if it was the punishment for deceiving that youth, perhaps it may not feel as bad.
If it was retribution for that boy Adventurer that does not seem like the Adventurers Lili knew, she made be able to calmly accept it. If that’s the case, perhaps it would be alright.
“Giiahhh……!”
Countless Killer Ants were crowding towards her like a wave.
At the location where she was thrown to, there was already no escape path for Lili. She could only stare at the empty space between the wall.
In the form of side walls, Lili, who was lying down, was surrounded by Monsters.
“……I don’t want to accept it”
The quiet mutter was also destroyed by the sound of the Killer Ant’s footsteps.
A Professional Supporter. An object that they scorn.
Even if it ruins the Adventurers, but yet these people simply carry the luggage without any pain. They were completely useless in the battlefield.
The career of Lili, that could not do anything by herself. Simply, it was Lili herself.
The slow Lili.
Lili absolutely hated herself.
“God-sama, why……”
Who would call for Lili. Who would rely on Lili.
Not being used, but treated as if she was necessary.
She was disgusted by her weak self. She hated herself for being used by others.
Lili wanted to become someone other than Lili.
After learning Magic, perhaps this thought had materialized.
“Why did you make Lili, create Lili like this……?”
Up till now, she did not know how many times she wanted to die.
Wanting to go back to the side of the Gods, she could not recall how many times she had wished for everything to reset.
Lili was not praying for her current self, but the other, more reliable Lili.
The cowardly Lili still had not taken a step forward in the end.
Inside Lili’s heart, there was still a continuous longing for her own reset.
“Gigi……!”
“……That’s right. It already does not matter”
The semicircular space created by the Monster slowly and slowly shrunk.
Boto, Lili, who had her cheeks stick tightly on the ground, revealed a smile filled with despair.
From her sideway’s vision, the Killer Ants were gradually become bigger.
The final moment has arrived.
“……Really lonely”
Lili was shocked towards the lightly blurt out words she said.
The final and last true thoughts came out from her chest.
So this was it, she was actually extremely lonely.
She was already accustomed to not being needed by anyone.
Although she was accustomed to it, the feeling of loneliness was not completely eliminated.
So lonely.
Towards not relying on others and being relied upon, she felt loneliness.
Although she was accustomed to being alone, she felt loneliness.
“So this is it, Lili……”
Wanted to live with someone else.
Lili was happy that she was finally able to recognize the feelings inside her chest.
“SHIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
The Killer Ants swung their claws. Bathed by the light descending from the ceiling of the dungeon, it was brightly gleaming.
It was over.
She could finally die. She could finally finish everything. She was finally able to return to Heaven.
Finally and finally, she would be able to reset it.
She will not be able to do anything and not be able to be herself. She would finally end her weak self.
Her thin and weak self that was not able to help, the invaluable her and the lonely her.
She would finally be able to reset it.
(Ahhh, Lili finally is……)
…….Finally, she will be able to find someone who is willing to live with her.
(Finally……Am I dying?)
Lili cried as she exposed her tears.
Following,
“Fire Bolttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!”
An explosion.
“……Eh?”
Scarlet flames were rising from inside the room.

“It’s no use”
Hestia stared at Eina and replied with a sigh.
“Ha……?”
“It is really no use. Bell will not abandon that Supporter-kun, this was what he decided”
While Eina was still in a state where she was unable to react due to the unexpected response, Hestia sighed again.
Hestia slightly lowered her eyelids and recalled the scene last night.
“Kami-sama, I……Even if it is like that, that child is still in trouble, I want to help her out”
Bell, who was reminded about how that girl was not credible, gave off such a response afterwards.
Towards Hestia’s stubborn tone of “did you not listen to me”, he still did not change his views. No, he hadn’t changed it. He desperately explained.
“That child. It seems like she
is very lonely. Although she seems to be very slow in this regard, although she still hasn’t seem to notice it, and was just smiling cutely like an idiot……Even if she was showing an indifferent expression.”
Bell told her everything he had seen, over and over again recounted the things that Hestia had not seen.
Above that, he even revealed his own thoughts.
“Didn’t Kami-sama help the lonely me?”
Before encountering Hestia, he was wandering around Orario alone and was almost destroyed by the anxiety and loneliness. The loneliness at that time was seen by her as well.
“It is not a problem if it is a mistake, but if it isn’t a mistake……this time, I wish to help that child.”
Just like Kami-sama, who saved him. Bell ended the conversation like this.
“……That child, Bell-kun, he is the type that would give the gentleness that he received to other children. Because he had also experienced that pain, so he would be able to notice it.”
Hestia, who was staring at the ground, raised her head to stare at Eina again.
“Don’t look at him like that, but Bell-kun is actually very stubborn? He would not be shaken, that child.”
Towards Hestia, who informed her with huddled shoulders, Eina revealed a puzzled expression in a panic. From the corner of her mouth, she seemed to have something she wanted to say.
“Do you refuse to accept it?”
“No, if it’s Bell-kun’s words……If it was him, he might have really said this. But what is the basis for it……”
Towards Eina, who revealed her uneasiness, Hestia slowly folded her arms.
As if she was extremely regrettable for saying the words she was going to say, she pouted and said.
“And, Bell’s insight on the opposite sex is genuine. Just like a God, that must be true.”

“Liliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!”
The voice that called for Lili torn through the group of Killer Ants.
A roar that was composed of explosions inside of explosions. Towards the sudden sneak attack that came from the rear, the Killer Ants attempted to turn around, but they could not move due to them being crowded together.
Continuous burst of flames seemed to drill through the group of insects, the moment when Lili’s eyes widened and clearly see the lightning flames……A white-haired boy cut through the monsters’ wall and flew through it.
“GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEEE!”
“GIGAAAA!?”
The boy wielding the dagger and short sword, Bell, roughly dispersed the group of giant ants.
He maintained a fixed wrist posture at Lili’s side to keep the Killer Ants in place. If they move, he would cut off their heads.
“Lili! Are you okay!? Do you recognize me!?”
The person who held her own body, Lili did not react initially.
The crimson eyes were quivering anxiously. The fingers clasped onto her shoulders were tightly grasped to the extent where it is painful.
He hurriedly pulled out a recovery potion and lifted it near her mouth.
Lili, who was being stared at as if he would never let his eyes go away from her, slowly opened her mouth and drank the blue liquid.
Quickly, cough, cough, her cute cough sounds echoed.
“……Bell-sama?”
“Yes. Are you alright?”
Bell, who was just like Lili who had her face filled with tears, smiled and raised his tone.
Right now, what was frozen inside Lili’s chest seemed to be held tightly that it hurts and became very hot.
After Bell confirmed the safety of Lili, he soon raised his face.
Facing the sharp eyes of the group of Killer Ants.
Lili unconsciously moved her petite hands and handed out the pitched-black dagger that was hidden inside her bosom towards Bell.
His expression did not change and he accepted the
“Just wait there like always?”
He said this at the end and Bell stood up.
Angry roars echoed throughout the room. The scattered smoke from the flickering flames were the remains of the fire from Bell.
There was no situation that was more isolated than this.
The number of monsters that surrounded Bell was around 30. And through the entrance, more and more were constantly coming.
Towards the clumsy action of the group of Monsters that want to rush over, Bell was not afraid.
A few days ago, Bell will still be afraid of this amount of enemies. No, even if he was to face them head on, there was no guarantee for him to win.
However, right now, Bell has
“Let’s go……!”
He took out an citrus-orange color liquid tube from his pouch around his leg.
Knowing the existence of Magic being restricted by the Mental Power, Bell decided to use his trump card that he purchased with the resolve of death at the price of 8700 Varisu.
Bell unplugged the embolus and drank it in one go.
“……SHIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
“!”
The moment one of the Killer Ants rushed forward, Bell also positioned his right wrist in front.
“Fire Bolt————!!”
The instant the light burst from the lightning, the Killer Ants was also blown away.
Towards the Killer Ants that moved together, Bell continuously roared.
Rapid-fire of lightning flames.
Each time Bell called out, the raging flames would gush out and illuminate the dungeon.
The scarlet lightning indeed sent one Killer Ant to the grave, and occasionally, it would puncture two of them.
Due to the aftermath of the explosive cyclones, the Killer Ants were unable to approach Bell.
The difference of overwhelming numbers were covered by using Magic from the Grace.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Towards the group of Killer Ants that were decimated, Bell wielded his weapons.
His two hands respectively held the
Each time the dagger reflected a brilliant flash of purplish-blue, the Killer Ant’s head and body will flew into the air.
“……”
Lili could only stare at the scene in a daze.
The white figure swiftly tore through the monsters and shortly, the decapitated body’s fluids splashed everywhere.
Swift, Sharp, Strong.
When she noticed it, the large group of Killer Ants were already silenced. What was standing in the room was the boy.
Bell placed the two daggers back into their sheaths, turned around with a worried expression and jogged towards Lili.
“……How did you find this place”
“It is not that, there were a lot of Monsters gathered, probably by other Adventurers. The mist was too thick so I could not see carefully, but the amount of monsters really decreased……”
That’s why he could quickly catch up to Lili, this exposed the truth of being able to catch up to her that was originally impossible.
Towards Bell, who placed his hand on top of his head as if nothing had happened, Lili felt that something inside her body was broken apart.
“……y”
“Eh? What is it, Lili?”
“Why?”
When she noticed it, Lili’s mouth had already arbitrarily moved.
Even though she had something she wanted to say to him, but what she said was something completely different.
“Why did you save Lili? Why didn’t Bell-sama abandon Lili?”
“……Ehhh?”
“You can’t possibly haven’t discovered that you were lied upon, right? In order to steal the dagger, Lili surprised Bell-sama. You can’t possibly still be thinking about such foolish things, ri
ght?”
Towards the stupid face made by Bell, Lili’s voice gradually became more violent.
Feelings that she could not suppress gushed out from her mouth.
“WHAT ON EARTH IS BELL-SAMA? IS YOUR NERVES TOO BIG FOR YOU!? IS THAT HEAD ON YOURS JUST AN INCOMPARABLY IDIOTIC PUMPKIN!?
“Idiotic…..!? Huh, Lili, calm down……!?”
“IMPOSSIBLE!! BELL-SAMA MUST NOT HAVE NOTICED ANYTHING YET!? WHEN EXCHANGING FOR MONEY, I DID SOMETHING BEHIND THE SCENES! BELL-SAMA AND LILI DID NOT SPLIT THE MONEY IN HALF, BUT RATHER 4 TO 6! WHEN I GOT CARRIED AWAY LATER ON, IT WAS EVEN 3 TO 7 A FEW TIMES! EVEN WHEN I REQUESTED YOU TO USE AN ITEM, I HAD LIED ABOUT THE PRICE BEING SEVERAL TIMES HIGHER! IN TOTAL 12 TIMES! WHEN SEEING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING VALUABLE TO STEAL IN THE EQUIPMENTS OR ITEMS, I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED!!”
The truth that was exposed continuously caused Bell to tightly close his lips.
Lili’s voice did not stop. Although her brain desperately told her to
“DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW!? LILI IS BAD! LILI IS A THIEF! SHE IS THE WORST HOBBIT THAT DESTROYS THE PRIDE OF SUPPORTERS AND HAD LIED TO BELL-SAMA!”
“T…That……”
“Even if it is like that……Even if it is like that, Bell-sama will still save Lili?”
“Nnn, yes”
“WHY!?”
Lili watched Bell with bated breath.
What Lili was expecting from the next sentence from the boy, she did not know.
Only that her heart was throbbing like an idiot.
Bell, who seemed to be oppressed by Lili’s menacing expression, slightly panicked. Just like a reflex, he uttered that sentence.
“B…Because you’re a girl?”
——Kaa, her entire body begins to become heated.
When her eyebrow was lifted to the angle where she was angry.
Although she did not know the reason, her body was boiling up.
Although she did not know the reason, the feelings that she could not explain using words continued to gather.
The unknown meaning of discontent exploded outwards.
“IDIOT! BELL-SAMA, YOU IDIOT!! YOU ACTUALLY SAID THESE WORDS AGAIN, ISN’T IT THE SAME AS THAT TIME!? SO AS LONG AS THE OTHER SIDE IS A FEMALE, BELL-SAMA WILL HELP THEM OUT!? I CAN’T BELIEVE IT, YOU’RE THE WORST!! BELL-SAMA, YOU LADY-KILLER, WOMANIZING SCUM, PERVERTED MALE, PUBLIC ENEMY TO FEMALES!!”
She did not know why she had the impulse of wanting to burst into tears while she was screaming.
