Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka - Volume 03 (4 page)

“Lili, who is still a member of cannot go to Bell-sama’s headquarters. If the fact that Lili had entered Bell-sama’s headquarters is exposed, then it will bring unnecessary trouble to the two of you. Lili absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing to happen.”

“T…Towards that kind of thing, I……”

Bell, who refused to give up, attempted to persuade her, but he seemed to have remembered something and closed his mouth.

This was not a single person’s problem. There was indeed a possibility of dragging in the entire Familia.

Bell painfully closed his eyes, and then he looked at Hestia, who was thinking about something.

“Supporter-kun, the condition for leaving , no, is leaving banned? Did your Main God say anything?”

“Although Soma-sama did not express anything about it clearly……But probably, a large amount of money is necessary.

“Money, is it……”

Following the amount of members, money was another resource that the overwhelmingly lack.

Although Bell had made remarkable progress towards the situation in the dungeon, and they had earned far more than a month ago, but after all, it was still half-baked. At most, they could only bring out around 100, 000 Varisu.

Moreover, even if the two of them had the ability to pay off the fee for leaving the Familia, Lili will also never accept it.

“Then, leaving the is such a troubling thing……? From the people that I know, there are people who have left a ……”

“It depends on the Main God. If there is an God that is willing to accept the application, then there are also Gods that ignore it.”

Leaving a , not only will it bring trouble to the person that was leaving, but it will also bring trouble to the other that they were leaving for. The best example was disclosing information.

No matter how indulgent the God was, only the ones that manage their factions minimally will do it. In most cases, the Gods hate members leaving.

“Your acquaintance may also have a secret that could not be told to anyone”

After Hestia had glanced at Lili after saying this, Bell also understood what they were talking about.

Just like Lili, leaving while they still belonged to the faction??It was a state of escape. They became a wild cat, a homeless Adventurers.

Putting aside boss Mia, who was already forgiven by the God, from , including Seal, whose history was extremely vague, perhaps it was also like that.

Even if they do not ask, you could still see it. The people standing in that situation have very difficult lives.

“……Even if it is a person that was unwilling to join the they are still not forgiven?”

“A noble’s child is a noble, a farmer’s child is a farmer. It is simply like that, Bell-sama.”

A child born from between members, that child must also have a duty to join the .

From a God’s perspective, the moment this crystal was created, it had already become the responsibilities of the party involved, even if the child was not willing and argued back, nothing will change.

Speaking irresponsibly, this was already something that the Gods have no connection to.

The permit of leaving, it ultimately still belongs to the God. Having a kind god determines everything.

If your luck was bad, some gods may request large sums of money. Some gods may forcibly give difficult problems to you and watch the developments while smirking.

Bell stared at Lili, who was smiling, with a mixed expression.

“If I do not get the assistance of Soma, I will not be able to change the ……Updating will also become impossible.”

“So it’ll become like this……”

“But, you aren’t preparing to go on like this, right? You are planning to look for opportunities?”

“Yes. Although it is impossible right now, I plan to meet Soma-sama when the timing is ripe. Whether he will accept is still……”

The conversation suddenly stopped. Everybody revealed an expression filled with myriad of thoughts.

The warm light seemed to shine nervously and Bell asked a question towards Lili.

“Then Lili, what are you planning to do later? Are you planning to find an inn alone……”

Actually there is a shop that I frequently go to……Ah, Lili said it a bit wrong, but in short, there is a generous Gnome grandpa. I plan to stay there for a period of time. Ah, I will of course work? I plan to not use my transformation in order to be truly recognized by my efforts.”

There was no trauma inside the speedy response of Lili. Bell, who understood her determination, calmed down.

(Next time, I should also explain it a bit to Eina-san……)

It was ashamed to say, if Eina did not help about the problem regarding , there will have been little progress.

Originally, the guild will not interfere with the ’s problems unless it was a significant case.

They are the managers of Orario and absolutely not the charitable organization for Adventurers and Supporters.

The guild will assist the Adventurers. This was all to increase the efficiency of recovering interest from the Dungeon, and they will certainly not manage personal problems about Adventurers and Supporters.

Is he relying too much on Eina’s intimacy and kindness, Bell thought while he used a hand to press his temple.

“Hey hey, don’t force yourself, is it really okay? If it doesn’t work out, I can introduce you to the place that I work?”

“No, no. Towards the mistake regarding the method of using Magic Stone ignition device and causing a huge explosion in daytime at the shop, Lili politely refuse about this action. Please allow Lili to solemnly decline.”

“How do you know about this!?”

“Although I only accidentally heard about it from the surrounding noise, due to the mischief of the Loli Goddess, the rumor of the natural disaster at North Main Street is already very famous……”

“WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!? Don’t say anymore in front of Bell-kun AHHHHHHHHH!”

“Muguuu!?”

But isn’t it fine, Bell thought.

If it was for the noisy girl in front of his eyes, he was still willing to lower his white head no matter how many times.

Bell continued to look at Lili, who finally showed her real smile, and he, too, revealed a smile.

* * *

I was currently walking on the in the North-West Main Street Area.

After separating with Kami-sama, I prepared to head over to the guild headquarters. I was thinking about reporting to Eina-san and then talk about the situation regarding the .

It was already time for the shops to open. Looks like today, the shops on both sides of the street were also very lively.

This street that Adventurers frequently walked upon was almost packed with shops. If you look further ahead, you can see numerous buildings had a very majestic style. For example, there is the accessory shop that decorated the entrance elegantly and the item shop that was constructed with sturdy gray stones. Even the arrangement of goods in the display window, all of them seem to be very high quality.

Looking around, did they temporarily stop the Adventurer’s work today? The figure of the demi-humans, that often removed their defense gear and wore light equipment, were currently shopping around the street. It looks like there were many teams that gathered here and moved forward. It seems like they were laughing at an interesting topic.

This isn’t bad. I was a little jealous towards the scene of the comrades, that explores the dungeon together and shopping with each other.

Shortly after, what appeared on the street was a large temple, no it was the Pantheon.

I headed towards the courtyard with the white pillars that connected to the guild headquarters.

Another reason why I came at this time was because it was right before noon??It is the time that most Adventurers were beginning their Dungeon Exploration??The white marble lobby was extraordinarily wide. There were completely no peers that I had to originally shove out of the way and I quickly found Eina-san.

“……?”

There was already an earlier guest located at the reception window of Eina-san.

An Adventurer that was holding an item wrapped with white cloth and was discussing something over the counter.

I only saw one side talking carefully and the expression of a seriously thinking Eina-san on the other. I did not pay much attention to that person and headed over. I looked at the long golden hair slightly and quickly walked over.

Shortly before I was close to the front, Eina-san noticed me. Her jade-colored eyes opened in shock.

Then, as if the reaction was followed.

The person, who had her back facing to me, slowly turned around.

(……Eh?)

Her long golden hair swayed, and in the middle , a pair of clear golden eyes were exposed.

Slender jaw and slender neck. Her tender white skin completely did not match her female race. It was simply beautiful.

With an appearance that does not lose to a Goddess, I, who suddenly showed up, was slightly surprised.

Aizu……Wallen…stein-san.

The three of us completely forgot to issue out a sound and our postures were completely fixed at the scene.

“……”

“……”

“……”

Mostly my and Wallenstein-san’s gaze intersected, Eina-san’s was looking at both sides crisscrossing.

I could not breathe normally. My head was completely blank due to the pair of golden eyes staring at me.

The lengthy silence continued.

I, with an unmoving face, slowly turned my body to the right and faced away from them.

Eh, the instant an unknown whisper was leaked out, I began to run with all my strength to the exit.

“B…Bell-kun!? Please wait!”

Ignoring Eina-san’s discouraged voice, I ran and ran and ran.

Kicking hard onto the white marble floor, I swung my arms greatly and looked straight ahead at the entrance to the headquarters.

??Why…Why would that person go find Eina-san!?

??What on earth had happened!?

My neck and face, followed by the ears were all being dyed red in a ferocious momentum, I continued to accelerate based on my instinct.

Just when the confusion reached the limits, I passed through the courtyard and attempted to leave this place.

But at the next moment, a godspeed wind passed by closely.

Surpassing me, and then in the form of blocking my way, a golden hair person appeared in front of me.

“??Huh!?”

My eyes widened to their limits and I could not break and collided with her.

“Bell-kun, Wallenstein!?”

While hearing Eina-san’s footstep constantly approaching, I continued to close my eyes forcibly……Then I noticed it did not hurt.

Ha, I opened my eyes, my abdomen and back was completely wrapped by slender arms, as if I was being supported through a hug.

I lifted my head stunned, that person was currently looking at me.

“……Sorry, are you alright?”

“??S…Sorry!?”

My face had turned to a higher level of red, and I left her by jumping backwards.

Even the sudden assault completely obliterated my momentum and sense of violation, but was I being hugged earlier?

My heart was, patapata, and the beating could not stop. At the same time, I felt shocked by these series of unimaginable developments.

“What are you doing! Don’t you know it is extremely rude to suddenly run away!?”

“S…Sorry, Eina-san……”

Although I could only reflexively apologize to Eina-san, who came over scolding in front of me, but my gaze still stayed on Wallenstein-san’s body.

The instant her gaze intersected with mine, I looked away in panic. I asked Eina-san unclearly.

“T…That…Th…This…What is this situation……!?”

“Ha……Wallenstein seems to be looking for Bell-kun for something.”

“Eh!?”

I sighed while looking confused, Eina-san told me the bare minimum about the matter.

I reflexively turned away and Wallenstein-san opened the item that was wrapped in the cloth.

What was exposed was a jade-colored hand armor.

I stared.

“She picked this up in the Dungeon and said she wanted to directly hand it back to you. That’s why Wallenstein came over to talk with me?”

While Eina-san was talking, I was completely stunned once again.

This hand armor, it was something I dropped when I was being constantly attacked by Monsters on the 10th floor. At that time, I was desperately trying to head to Lili’s side and it became harder and harder to recover it……

Then I noticed. At that time, the person who lent a helping hand to me must have been this person.

“……Bell-kun, then you two can talk about it on your own.”

“Eh!?”

Towards the words that was disclosed by my ear, I looked over at Eina-san.

While doing clumsy actions I whispered back to her and tried to appeal.

“P…Please wait Eina-san!? I beg you, I beg you to stay here ……! I will die……!?”

“What are you saying, you are a man, right. The words that you must say are enormous, so you must convey them by yourself. Understood?”

Good luck, Eina-san whispered as she placed her face nearby.

Towards her care that probably wanted us to be alone for my sake, I could only cry. I could only watch the figure that headed back as if I was an abandoned animal.

“……About that, this.”

“!”

I was being talked to, I turned around and quickly accepted the hand armor that was handed over.

Wallenstein-san, who was a bit shorter compared to my height, continued to stare at this side.

My entire body became a red statue and as usual, I could not speak.

“Sorry.”

“Eh……?”

“It was my fault about the Minotaur that I defeated. I have given you lots of trouble and also caused you to suffer many injuries……I always wanted to apologize. Sorry.”

Looking at her bowing her to me, I held my breath. The current state seems as if the raised voice was like a lie.

“N…No! It was my fault for running stupidly down the Dungeon floors. Wallenstein-san, you are completely not at fault!? Rather, you should be my savior, who helped me! If we have to talk about who has to apologize, it should be me, who ran away without thanking you……S…Sorry!”
