Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka volume 1

by volume 1

  “Don’t let it bother you Kami-sama! Our Familia is still in the beginning stages, it’s still developing. Although at the beginning it may be indeed difficult, but as long as we get through this, our life will become better. At that time, we will also have free time and people will come and join us!”

  “Bell-kun, you…!”

  And there you have it! I stood up from the couch while I was talking. From Kami-sama’s hopeful eyes, I can tell that she was completely moved by me. But in reality all this was what I’ve recently heard from Eina. So my heart felt sore.

  But no matter what, I still wanted to make Kami-sama a little bit happy.

  At that time I was dreaming of a harem, but in reality, when I came to the city I was completely lost, and it was Kami-sama who gently extended her hand to me. She is very important to me. I wanted to help this goddess.

  This promise that I made the instant I encountered her was deeply engraved into my heart. It was also my first promise I made to myself.

  “Oh, oh, to have an encounter with such a person must be my fortune. Then, for our future, let us first update your !”

  “Okay!”

  Kami-sama also stood up from the sofa. Those boobs, that did not match her tiny body, slightly shook. I was suddenly frozen for a bit, and allowed myself to smile, then I immediately turned away. Since I’m a shy person, the impact was too much for me.

  It seems that the other Gods sometimes joke around and call her . What could “Loli” mean…

  “Then, as usual, take off your clothes and lie down.”

  “Understood.”

  While heading to the bed inside the room, I removed the light helm that adventurers use, then I removed my top underwear. What was on my upper body was completed taken off. Afterwards I tilted my head to look behind.

  The wall had a mirror. What the mirror reflected was my figure with elderly white hair and the light skin color. What was particularly striking was the black text engraved on my back.

  These are all things that Hestia engraved on my body. This is the God’s Grace ——A Gift from God.

  “Okay, Okay, lie down, lie down.”

  After hearing Kami-sama hurrying me, I relaxed my entire body.

  Once I lied down on my stomach, Kami-sama jumped up and sat on my waist.

  “Anyway, you just said that you nearly died, what exactly happened?”

  “It will take a while to explain it……”

  When I began to explain, Kami-sama kept on touching my back. Once, twice, she went over the same places over and over again, as if she was telling me to relax, and gently stroked it.

  Then I heard a metallic sound. That was Kami-sama taking the needle out.

  I lifted my head slightly, turned back and looked. Kami-sama first used the needle to pierce her fingertips, then she let the blood flow out and drip slowly down onto my back.

  The red blood that landed on my skin spread like a ripple and completely entered my back.

  “You went down to a lower floor in order to have an encounter……Your fantasy about the dungeon really is amazing. Anyway, in such a messy location, it is impossible to have an encounter with the kind of pure and innocent girl you imagine.”

  “Innocent girl….! If there isn’t one, then wouldn’t there be no hope for the others? I mean, I’ve heard that elves do not even hold hands with others if they do not approve of them!”

  “Don’t yell now. Although there are races that are similar to the elves, there are also races like Amazons that would give their bodies to strong males for strong children. Also, I believe that those with your unrealistic way of thinking would eventually come to a bad end.”

  “……Yes.”

  After being informed of these heavy matters, I buried my head into the pillow. At the same time, on my back, Kami-sama used the spot that the blood had dripped down onto as the center, and painted her fingers. From the left side, she began to apply additional engravings.

  Now, what was engraved on my back is the ——it is also a .

  Kami-sama used the sacred text and engraved it on my back, using her blood as a medium. This is a power that only Gods have and can greatly improve the ability of the target. Of course, there are also things like . Those are gained through experiencing a variety of events so, just like their name implies, they are based on your own experiences in life.

  Of course this is not visible, nor could it be created by hands of a Lower World human. If we need to explain it, it is equivalent of the history of your own experiences. Gods would take the event hidden in the history, let’s say , extract it out, and allow it to become food for growth.

  The value of completed events in quantity and quality is the .

  To Gods, these are visible and can be controlled. Perhaps it is similar to the ancient rituals, that is after defeating enemies, you would be able to get praises and blessings.

  Once the sacred text on my back has a sufficient amount of , a Level Up happens and the ability values rise.

  This power is basically what the Gods gave to the Lower World humans.

  “Also there is the one called Aizu Wallenstein? That beautiful, yet strong girl must have lots of males that like her. If I was her, there would be many males in my surroundings.”

  “How could it be……”

  “Fuu. Okay, Bell-kun. Just give up on that momentary infatuation. Pay more attention to your surroundings please. There must be beautiful and gentle people that care about you around.”

  I was blamed for thinking of things that I should not have thought of, and I immediately began to cry. Kami-sama began to continuous scold Wallenstein. I thought that her mood was good, so could it be that I stepped on a landmine?

  Kami-sama said this, but the only females around me are Eina and Kami-sama herself. Eina will most definitely not accept me, as for Kami-sama ,who is an eternal existence,……Forget it, even if you tear my mouth off, I will not be willing to say it. It’s completely impossible for Kami-sama to be my partner.

  And Eina had always said this: Gods are all realistic and cold.

  “Once she became a member of Loki’s Familia, you became unable to marry Wallen-whatever.”

  “……”

  She directly hit the mark.

  Overall, people who joined a Familia can freely choose to marry within their Familia. But let’s say that you married a person from another Familia and had a child. Which Familia would the child belong to?

  Although that is a special case and is not all, but if you maintain a overly close relationship with another faction, it can easily cause abuse. In order to regulate the rules, Gods’ management of their Familia is very strict.

  Also, if the Gods themselves have a poor relationship, and had a hostile relationship with the other Familia, then they will not allow their members to bring danger to their Familia.

  Although Eina had also advised me, if I, from the Hestia Familia, and Wallenstein, from the Loki Familia, wanted to date each other, there will be a lot of difficulties in the middle.

  “Okay, I’ll put it bluntly. Forget about that girl, and look for your encounter in the vicinity.”

  “……Kami-sama, you’re so mean.”

  Ah, I won’t give up. Although I have not done anything, perhaps it is that nothing hasn’t been done. So I haven’t been disappointed yet.

  My relationship with that person hasn’t been developed yet.

  I renewed my resolve again and put on my clothes. At the same time, Kami-sama wrote down the status on the prepared paper. Because I basically do not understand the sacred text, Kami-sama used the language from the Lower World and wrote it down to tell me the details easily.

  Also, it’s difficult to see words written on one’s back.

  “Now, Look. Your new status.”

  After saying my thanks, I caught the paper that was handed to me. My gaze immediately fell onto it.<

  Bell Cranel

  Lv. 1

  Strength: I 77 —> I 82 Endurance: I 13 Dexterity: I 93 —> I96 Agility: H 148 —> H 172 Magic: I 0

  This was a summary of my status that was recorded on my back.

  The general abilities have five categories — the categories are strength, endurance, dexterity, agility and magic — each category is represented by ten stages from high to low S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I. The higher the stage, the more powerful your ability is.

  The number besides I is the proficiency value. 0~99 is I, 100~199 is H, Generally it is to link the specified formula to basic ability’s rank. Also there is a upper limit of 999. The more effort you place on a category, the faster the proficiency rate goes up, working hard to achieve the maximum value 999——which is also the S rank ability so it isn’t a bad thing.

  Lv is the most important. Even if it is just an increase of one level, your basic abilities will be greatly enhanced. It can also be said to be a huge enhancement mentally and physically. The current Lv 1 and Lv2 have a gap of immense power. So that’s why the chaotic Lv 2 Minotaur caused me, a Lv 1, so much trouble.

  In conclusion, you become stronger when your level goes up.

  Kami-sama called a

  …Eh? This time dungeon exploration increased my strength, dexterity and agility… And agility increased that much! ? From H 148 it increased to H 172, so I gained 24 points?!”

  Could it be because I was running everywhere to escape from the Minotaur……?

  The proficiency system is simple: if you do not use a related ability, that basic ability will not increase. Example given: endurance. If I wanted to increase its proficiency, I would need to withstand the enemy’s attacks. I always avoid my enemy’s attacks, so this will basically almost never go up.

  Although using a weapon or a defensive gear to block the attack will also count, but no matter what I will still try to avoid it. Because it hurts!

  “……Kami-sama. When do you think I’ll be able to use magic?”

  “About this I’m not too sure. It seems to be based on related to Cognition……Anyways, Bell-kun, you don’t read books right?”

  “Yes……”

  From the Kami-sama engraved, what everyone cares about should be whether they can use .

  Before the Gods descended to the Lower World, Magic was a privilege of certain races. But there are also people who have never accepted a God’s gift but still discovered they could use magic.

  At least one, at most three, there is a fixed number of how many magics they can discover. Being able to use one is average, but if you can use two or more magics you usually get quite popular.

  Not only this, the existence of magic itself is very important. There is a legend that long ago, a wind elf controlled magic and mowed down hundreds of people. In short, magic is a trump card. It is an ultimate skill that can reverse a situation.

  Generally, if they are able to release a wave of flames, even if their enemy works hard and swings his sword to attack, they would not have any chance of victory. This is the base of the concept of ‘Magic’.

  I confirmed the , there was nothing inside the magic section, so naturally I cannot use any magic……?

  “Kami-sama, what about this skill section? It feels like it has been wiped……”

  “……Ahhhh, just now my hand slipped. It was blank as usual, don’t worry.”

  “So that’s what happened…”

  Basically I had some expectations.

  and values are slightly different, they are special effects that are placed onto the body under certain conditions. If represents the strengthening of the body, is the special reactions happening within the body.

  Although it isn’t like magic where you can see how amazing it is, the discovery of a is a lot more rare……No, there are almost none.

  After confirming the updated again, I looked at the clock on the wall, then I turned my head towards Kami-sama.

  “Well, Kami-sama. Should we prepare for dinner? Even though it is a potato croquettes feast, we should not only eat just this right?”

  “Yes, then I’ll leave it to you, Bell-kun.”

  “Okay.”

  Giving Kami-sama a slight smile, I turned away and headed towards the kitchen. Although I can only make simple dishes. Yes, just like Eina said, from now on I must consider money issues … … .

  I felt that Kami-sama’s gaze was still glued onto my back, so I suddenly felt confident about saving money for the future.

  × × ×

  Hestia watched as Bell-kun entered the kitchen battlefield, and quietly adjusted her breath.

  Placing the she had written in her hand and comparing it with the one on the boy’s back.

  (These children really change easily…It is completely different from us who won’t change)

  Even if it was just a small change, it will still create an impact. It will spread from the physical body and mental state and flow outwards.

  It was neither desire or culture. , this was the essence of the residents from the Lower World.

  (……Ah, no no! I cannot accept that he has begun to change because of others, I absolutely do not want to admit that!)

  Hestia’s two hands made her dark hair all messy.

  It is too much ——After Hestia’s two hands held onto her head, she once again looked at Bell’s back.

  Correctly speaking, it should be looking at the back’s engraved —— at its window.

  Chapter 2: And So I Ran

  “……Mmmm.”

  The base of is in an unknown room within a church.

  Because it was built underground, the sound of the morning birds chirping couldn’t be heard here. I confirmed that it was morning and woke up from my bed at the stated time.

  Because my home country was at the countryside, I had developed a habit of doing farm work in the morning, so I already had this biological clock.

  (……It should be just five o clock.)

  Just in case, I stuck out my head from the sofa to confirm it with the clock hanging on the wall.

  The “Magic Stone Lamp” ,that was developed from the magic stone technology, was shining dimly on the ceiling, so even if it was underground, the room wasn’t completely surrounded by darkness. It had the effect of allowing the naked eye to observe the surroundings.

  Kami-sama had also praised the human technology of this “Magic Stone Lamp” as “really handy and flexible.” Just because it was an object that made even gods exclaim, you could realize the greatness of the magic stone products that once were known as the “Century’s greatest invention”.

  Yesterday, after finishing the small feast with Kami-sama, as usual, I gave the bed to Kami-sama and slept on the sofa. It was narrow, but I was already accustomed to it.

  After I blinked a few times, I prepared to get up to wash my face……when I suddenly noticed.

  Besides the blankets, there was a round object pressing onto my body. Very soft. Because I wasn’t mistreated by it, I didn’t notice it earlier.

  With a question mark inside my heart, my hand reached out towards the unknown round object……and I instantly understood. It was Kami-sama.

  She
had buried her head in my chest and was fast asleep. Although I was shocked, I immediately leaked out a wry smile.

  (A dream……Is it?)

  I could only sigh and think that anything could happen in this world. Okay, now it’s trouble, what should I do.

  It was easy to escape from the sofa without waking up Kami-sama, but how should I say it, I didn’t want to let go of this warm and comfortable existence. It was simply beyond a high-class pillow and worthy of the name god-class pillow.

  I completely understood that even that hold powerful weapons or items didn’t have anything that could surpass this pillow. Kami-sama is really amazing.

  I was a bit afraid, but I still put my hand around Kami-sama’s back and gently hugged her. The feeling was very soft.

  It’s over, I really can’t escape now.

  Once my face was facing towards Kami-sama who was filled with a fragrance, Kami-sama issued out an “Mmmmm……” sound, shifted her lower body and rubbed her cheeks on my chest like a baby.

  Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, she really is so cute……!

  Within my heart, I was crazily infatuated ——Suddenly with a “Mmm-Chu” sound, Kami-sama’s twin valleys with the overwhelming mass was completely flattened on top of me.

  After that, I moved swiftly. I immediately removed Kami-sama, who turned from a god-class item into a dangerous item, and as if I was exchanging our positions, placed Kami-sama below and escaped from the sofa.

  (Kami-sama was actually trying to kill me……)

  At that moment, it was the first time I felt fear towards Kami-sama.

  If I was even one second too late, I would have suffocated.

  After placing the blanket on top of Kami-sama, I prepared to go out. If I continued to dawdle here, it would feel very strange. After thinking about it calmly, I really should have died, as I was actually being very rude to Kami-sama.

  I swiftly and quietly went through the door and left the room.

  “……Bell-kun, you idiot. Hmmm”

  (This actually occurred early in the morning…….)
