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

by volume 1

  A staff employee was preparing the open-air seats, a two-man team of beastmen were standing at the corner of the alley. The girl, that could overlook the road through the window on the second floor of the store, could not be seen.

  “Heyyyy——That white-hair, wait a minute, nyaaa!”

  I reacted to the phrase white-hair, and was shocked, I could not help but stop.

  I turned around to the direction of the voice, at the ’s entrance, there was a female cat person with cat ears and a thing tail, she energetically waved her hands.

  ……She was the employee that was together with that elf?

  Because I had been called a so I remembered her clearly. I looked around, pointed at myself and confirmed by saying , she kept nodding.

  I should have already returned Seal-san’s lunch basket……I wondered what happened while I rushed over to the her who was dressed up like a waitress.

  “Good morning, nyaa. I apologize for suddenly calling you, nyaa.”

  “Ah, no. Good morning……About this, what’s the matter?”

  Facing her while she hurriedly bowed, I also exchanged a greeting.

  I do not know why her actions seemed to be very educated, then she immediately raised her request to me.

  “I have something to request of you, nyaa, it is just a slightly annoying matter, nyaa, this is for you.”

  “Ha?”

  “White-hair is Seal’s close friend nyaa, so I wanted to request white-hair to hand something to that careless fellow nyaa.”

  Currently I was able to look carefully at what that female had handed to me, it was a bag loaded with money.

  It was a purse in a bag-shaped with a metallic buckle, on top of it was an engraved emblem that I have never seen before, you can tell that this isn’t created by a random , the purple purse was designed very delicate and cute.

  Ah, although it is so cute……However, I do not understand the progress of this topic!

  What does it mean by handing this to Seal-san……?

  “Anya, if you just say this and do not fully explain, Cranel-san will also be troubled.”

  This time it was the elf shop personnel to appear, she was about to prepare for the open-air seats and walked over to our side.

  Although this wasn’t the time, but being called by my name by the elf made me feel somewhat moved, she remembered my name.

  “Ryuu is an idiot nyaa. It was Seal-san’s turn to watch the shop, but she slacked off and ran off to visit the festival, I wanted to hand her forgotten purse to her nyaa, even if I don’t say up to this point nyaa, white-hair should also understand nyaa. Nyaa, white-hair?”

  “So that’s it. I apologize for not explaining it clearly.”

  “Ah, no, I understand. So it’s like this.”

  The shop personnel called Ryuu magnificently ignored the cat person employee, who had an assured expression, and apologized to me. My doubts had also disappeared.

  At that instant, the female called Anya that had been excluded from the conversation, who was proudly shaking her tail suddenly droop her tail, her face turned red and she lowered her head. Her body started tremble and shake, I started to sweat.

  “Please do not take notice of her. Thus can we request you? Anya and I along with the other staff have to prepare for the shop, and there are no empty hands, although I feel bad about requesting you who was about to head over to the dungeon……”

  “It doesn’t matter to me……However, is it true that Seal-san slacked off?”

  “Slacked off isn’t exactly correct, Seal’s situation is different from the ones who were left here.”

  Hearing that Seal-san, who always look so serious, slacking off, I could not imagine it, so I had to ask. Looks like she used her vacation and was different from the ones who was in front of him. It was not because Seal-san was working diligently at the pub, but it seemed to be because the female boss allowed it.

  The main reason is because Seal-san comes to work from her own home, so she was an exception and was able to have a vacation.

  Then Seal-san seemed to have used this time’s vacation to visit the ……

  “……Monster Festival?”

  “Yes, Seal went to see the events that were organized today.”

  It was a phrase that I heard at the Babel.

  To me, who did not understand anything, suddenly became interested.

  “Is it the first time you heard about it? It is impossible for the people who lived in this city to not know about it.”

  “Actually I had just recently arrived at Orario……If you could, can you please explain it to me?”

  “——Then nyaa, let me explain it to you nyaa!”

  The moment my words came out from my mouth, the cat person employee suddenly jumped between us as if she wanted to restore her reputation and said.

  “Monster Festival is held once a year, it is an super large event that is organized by the nyaa! Occupying the coliseum the entire day, and taming the Monsters that were dragged from the dungeons nyaa!”

  “Eh……What, TAME? !”

  Listening to the shocking things she said, I was deeply surprised.

  Taming……as in domesticating it? Those violent Monsters?

  “Taming the Monsters is not that surprising, white hair is an Adventurer, nyaa, so you should also have the experience, nyaa. The instant where the Monsters that had been beaten stood up and exposed eyes that wanted to form a team……”

  “No, about this, I have never seen it……”

  I do not know what kind of eyes that the elf shop personnel was looking at me, but she did not doubt it and interjected.

  “Taming is a skill that exist, although it differs from each person’s qualities, but it should be allowing the Monster to witness the strength and causing it to be obedient.”

  Causing the monster to be obedient……This sounds like another world’s topic.

  “The monsters in the dungeon have harsh personalities and are difficult to tame, so generally most would tame the creatures above the ground nyaa……But because the ’s core members’ strengths are not weak, so it was even possible to tame the Monsters living inside the dungeon.”

  Even if it was me, I have heard of the name of the , even within the in Orario, their strength is proven.

  “That means they fight the Monsters, and the process of taming them is the show?”

  “That’s the case nyaa, honestly it is just like a circus show nyaa.”

  However, the scene is extremely intense, the shop personnel added one final phrase. As expected, it was still dangerous.

  “We actually also wanted to see nyaa, but mama did not let nyaa. Seal said that she will buy some souvenirs, smiled and bowed……but she left her purse inside the shop nyaa, Seal is such a clumsy fellow.”

  “Anya, I feel that you are not in the position to say that to her.”

  “Haha……”

  Well, I probably understand. Leaving aside the topic of the gifts, not bring any money will also be troubling. I have received a lot of help from Seal, so I should repay it.

  “Connecting to the Coliseum, the East Main Street should be quite crowded, please head over there first so you can follow the flow of the crowd and effortlessly arrive.”

  “Seal had just left, so if you leave now, you should be able to catch up to her nyaa.”

  They said that my bag will only get in the way, so I should just store it in the shop.

  I, who was as light as a feather now, took the purse, stared at the direction of the East Main Street which was even further than the skyscraper.

  Monster Festival……How does it feel?

  I thought that I wanted to see it if I have time, while I headed out from the entrance of the shop.

  × × ×

  Currently the street was filled with loud noise and excitement that made others want to da
nce.

  The current time was around nine in the morning, a lot of Adventurers had dove into the dungeon, right now, the East Main Street had gathered a large number of people.

  Countless stalls were placed either in the middle of the road or by the side, it was filled with a fragrant smell, the sound of food being cooked constantly echoed in the crowd. The street seemed to be decorated with ribbons and flowers, making it look more busy than usual.

  Above the heads of the people walking on the street was a rope that connected colorful flags, swaying as the wind blows. The flags had two different patterns, one represented the Monsters, which looks like a ferocious lion’s figure and the other emblem was the ’s elephant head.

  The beastman children, that was flushed with excitement, constantly pulled their mother’s hand, I heard the melody created unintentionally by the footstep sound of the crowd. From the sky, the sunlight that shone down also seemed to be celebrating today, it was bright and dazzling.

  Today, the East Main Street was filled with an festival atmosphere.

  “……”

  The crowd in the Main Street continued all the way to the end of the city’s coliseum. A pair of silver eyes overlooked the crowds of people that wanted to see the Monster Festival from high up.

  In the café facing the Main Street, Second Floor.

  The shop interior used wood to create a warm atmosphere, and she was sitting by herself in a position near the window. Here you can see the entire street. In order to not let others see her face, no, in order for her white skin to not be exposed to the gaze of the crowd, she deliberately wore a blue, long sleeved female coat.

  However, this cloth could not conceal her .

  The evidence was that despite covering her face, the attention of the people in the shop was still focused on her. Every time her slender fingers traced the cup on the table, every time her thin chin was slightly exposed from inside the hood, everyone in the surrounding would be shaken up, there were quite a bit of people that would become motionless after seeing this.

  The Freya did not have to do anything, yet she was able to capture the hearts of the surrounding people. She quietly looked outside the window while wasting her time.

  “……”

  The large amount of Lower World people were covered on the street……A large amount of children.

  Human, Beastman, Dwarves, Elves, all kinds of different race were inside the crowd, you can also see a few of the Adventurers that were mixed along with the civilians.

  Freya seemed to be confirming each and one of their faces while looking from a distance, suddenly a loud banging sound.

  Following the loud sound of stepping onto the wooden floor, a few breathing sound approached this location.

  She stopped and looked at the person she was waiting for.

  “Yo, did you wait long?”

  “No, I just arrived.”

  Raising her hand to quickly greet her fellow Goddess, Freya gave off a shallow laugh beneath her hood.

  It was different than the bright red hair of Hephaestus, her hair was a light scarlet color. She put the sunset color hair that she was reminded of behind her head, wearing an old shirt and shorts, giving an impression of a sloppy man.

  Loki endured her yawn while her eyes was filled with tears of laughter.

  “Hey, I still haven’t eaten breakfast, can I eat it here?”

  “Please help yourself.”

  Loki held onto the chair while speaking bluntly, Freya revealed a slight smile, her expression shows that she did not mind. The atmosphere between the two seemed like they were old friends that knew the ins and outs of each other.

  “After the banquet, you slept sufficiently right. Who told you to drink alone by yourself and even get yourself drunk and pass out. Hoho, Hestia really is something ah?”

  “Hey, smelly big boobs, where did you hear this kind of news.”

  “Your lovely members seemed to have cause a big racket? No matter who talked about this, your members are fully concerned about you.”

  “Damn, those mischievous brats, they really did it.”

  Loki was the one who called out Freya, she was also the one that decided on the location.

  Currently, the had passed for a few days, the reason for meeting here was also for this.

  “Anyways, when are you going to introduce that child to me?”

  “What, I still have to introduce.”

  “It is still my first meeting with her.”

  The ones who came beside Freya was not just Loki, there was still one more person.

  This beautiful blonde girl with golden eyes had a sheathed sword, standing in a position as if she was protecting Loki, even Freya who was called a Goddess of Beauty still narrowed her eyes and smiled.

  “Nn, this is my familia’s Aizu. Is this enough? Aizu, this fellow is also a goddess, go greet her.”

  “……Nice to meet you”

  Sword princess, Freya muttered this name and stared at the female in front of her.

  Aizu Wallenstein. Even amongst the gods, it had become a topic about , she was a highly anticipated swordswomen. Her name and valor was spread beyond Orario and even to the world, thus, there was actually no need to introduce her.

  Her lovely appearance did not match with the dangerous profession of an Adventurer, the people that do not know anything and stand in front of her would have never imagined that she had stepped through numerous Monster corpses.

  The female’s face was exceptionally slim, Loki urged her , she listened and sat down beside Loki.

  “How cute, and……ah, I understand the reason why Loki fancies this child.”

  The golden eyes and Freya’s silver eyes exchanged a gaze, Aizu’s cold expression did not change and immediately bowed politely.

  She seemed to not resemble a female, Freya could not help but revealed a smile.

  “Can I ask why you brought the here?”

  “Eh he he he……! Hey you, since it was rare to have a festival, then I can have a perfect and lovely date with Aizu-chan until I am satisfied!”

  Loki loudly exclaimed while revealed a wretched smile.

  “……Oh, and I thought that after this princess’s was over, she would finally return and calm down, but she immediately wanted to dive back down into the dungeon.”

  “……”

  “If you do not take a short break, then you would not rest for the rest of your life”, Loki said while she stretched out her hand to the side and gently touched the girl’s head. Aizu seemed to admit her mistake and looked down, allowing Loki to do whatever she wants.

  Freya saw that within Loki’s thin and scarlet eyes, there were warm colors inside. Knowing how destructive Loki was up in heaven, Freya thought, she really have changed.

  “Then isn’t it about the time you explain why you’ve called me out?”

  “Yes, there has been a long time since we just gossiped.”

  “Your mouth is filled with nonsense.”

  Under the shadow of the hood, Freya revealed a shallow smile, Loki also suddenly changed her joking attitude and revealed a courageous smile. The atmosphere between the two suddenly changed.

  The shop personnel, who was bringing the menu over, really had bad luck, the pressure created by the two Goddess——The silent and tremendous pressure caused him to have a facial spasm, as if he was tied down to the place, Aizu’s expression did not change and in order to not hinder the two, she observed the situation directly.

  “Let me listen, what on earth are you planning.”

  “What are you talking about, Loki?”

  “Don’t act a fool, you idiot.”

  Freya’s gently smiled at the unmovable male shop personnel, he widened his eyes and stared, it seems that he had gotten slightly red on his face as if he had gotten a little fever, then suddenly turned around and fled.

&nbs
p; When there were no one in the surroundings, she turned her head back. Loki’s thin eyes revealed a vicious and sharp gaze.

  “Your recent actions are quite big, appearing at a that you hold no interest to, from the tone of your recent conversation, you seemed to be collecting information……What are you planning?”

  “Noisy.”

  —— Loki’s words seemed to reveal this. If it will affect my side, then I will hit you, the scarlet eyes seemed to confirm her intentions.

  They continued to fight against each other’s gaze. Freya’s slight smile seemed to directly face against Loki’s gaze that was filled with murderous intent. There seemed to be a dangerous divinity exuded from the two of them that could not be seen. Noticing this, who knows when the shop only had them left. Aizu was concerned about the two and felt that this wordless dialogue will continue forever.

  Slowly, Loki released her strength.

  She made the atmosphere that was there vanish, and said convincingly.

  “Because of a man?”

  “……”

  The goddess did not reply, but only gave off a smile underneath her hood.

  However, Loki seemed to treat the slight smile as if she confirmed it.

  Loki uttered a sighing sound that would make others feel amazed.

  “Ha……That means that you took a fancy to a certain ’s child, is it because of this?”

  The passionate Freya……This also means that she had loved males, it was already a well-known fact among the gods.

  If she found a favorite within the opposite sex——Even if it was a child from the Lower World——She will immediately approach them and use her incomparable to make the other to become her own thing. There were many that had been captured by her magic-like beauty and became a prisoner to her.

  This time Freya seemed to have taken a fancy from another ’s core member.

  Participating in the was also to identify the
