Chapter 68 (2/2)

「Also, you're going to end up back in this room The corridor is a dead-end, so your only option is the stairs At that point, you'll co about? You think a few h to make me flee back here?」

I'm confident I won't be done in easily by this place's monsters The year since I ca has been giving di returns, but that's all the et the EXP I can, day or night

Then again, that's the ardless of that, she was otten a bit huffy about her understanding of my situation, but she didn't respond to my question

「Hey, don't cry I understand well enough」

「Heh, you don't get it do you? I' back I won't be your personal chef」

「Go then if you want to so much When you come back, I expect you to make me twice asback!」

I never asked her about her level or her stats, but with her strength she's not going to be in danger

Still disgruntled at her mockery, I step onto the stairs and start to cli the way before ht I would estimate that I had climbed about 200 floors worth of stairs in my rush but the exit was nowhere to be seen

At least the er to cool off

「Ialone, I started to calm down and reflected on how hot-headed I acted No uy ould abandon a young girl alone in the eon? Even if she did s too far

Even asremorseful scenarios of ould happen if I went back, I kept pressing upwards

Click

「Huh?」

In an instant, the very steps I was standing on began to shi+ft one by one, and before I knew it, I was standing on a slope

Panicking, I try to stand firm, but the stairs were already made of a s from the cracks

Naturally, there was no way I could balance on such a slippery surface, so I wasn't surprised when I fell

「Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!」

I reach out to grab so, but there are no handholds I try to make one witha mark At an insane speed, I slide down all the stairs I just climbed up

「Koumei!」<sup class="footnote">1</sup>

I couldn't think of a better swear at the moment, all I could do was shout out insults at a completely unrelated fa how things turned out like this while covered in a strange oil-like liquid, ended up back in the rooh!」

My back slammed full speed into a soft pile that wasn't there when I left When I shake offopen up abovewaves of colorful flower petals down onnoise and turned to see a banner being unfurled It said ”Welco bubble letters

I got the distinct sense that I was being patronized

「Huh? Wait! What?」

「You got a lot farther than I thought you would on your first try, that means you're lucky!」

Those were the words which made their way into my still dazedabout not coain?」

I let out a wordless shriek and flipped around There sat the redhead girl with a rin on her face

「It's not like I ca off because I like you or anything Nah, I can't do very good i as if she just couldn't any up

Such an evil personality, is she a devil? No, she was already more evil than a devil when I first met her

「You… You kneould do that!」

「That's what I was telling you Now, onto the iive me double portions of food when I wake up, just like you promised, my personal chef」

And with that, the redhead went back to bed as if that was all there was to it

「But… You! This!」

My face flushed bright red I couldn't keep silent But at the sa, so I sealed e into my heart and swore

「Kou of stupid things about a completely unrelated famous person, I went to wash the mystery liquid off in the water

「I'll definitely return the favor when I get the chance」

I tried to stop thinking such childish thoughts, but at the saainst soet the opportunity, I will mock her mercilessly
