Chapter 15 Part 1 (2/2)
When I went back, the girls were happy to see me.
”How was it, Master? was there something in the back?”
”I found some things. There's this bottle, it seems to be some sort of elixir. There was also a locked box that seems to be promising.”
”I didn't know there were still objects on this floor! Well done, Toru-Sama!”
”Marianne-San, you are standing a bit too close to my Master!”
Kaede pulls Marianne away from me by pulling her arms. I can't help but feel disappointed, the feeling of softness and warmth has disappeared.
Suddenly, I feel a sharp look and my consciousness returns.
Kaede looked at me with a scowl.
”What?”
”My master is mine.”
“I see…”
Is she angry?
Well, I don't really understand a woman's feelings.
”Toru-Sama, you need to show some male discipline.”
”Umm, I suppose...”
Urara looked at me with narrowed eyes.
What the hell is going on?
There are three danger zones on the second floor, one of which we have already completed.
We went down to the second floor and opened the map again to know where to go.
”There are danger zones here and here. And here is an area that hasn't been investigated yet.”
”Hmmm, I guess this area is not much bigger than the second floor. I was wondering, does this place belong to the old race?”
”According to one theory, it was a subterranean fortress. It is not clear what kind of enemies they were fighting, but a lithograph has been found that describes the defense at this site”.
Kaede and I said ”Wow” in unison, as we were impressed.
If it is a subterranean fortress that resembles a dungeon, then what exactly is a dungeon?
So far I've immersed myself in them as a matter of course, but when I think about it, those structures are full of mystery, aren't they?
The other day, the dungeon we explored simply disappeared.
I wonder where it went.
”By the way, Toru-Sama, it's about time you taught me how to fight.”
”.......Really?”
Not only I, but also Kaede and Urara were surprised.
I looked to Urara for confirmation, but she shook her head vigorously.
“The agreement was that we would come if you would join us, but you didn't say anything about teaching you to fight.”
”Just a little bit, please. I am tired of being protected by Urara and rescued by Toru-Sama. I am tired of being a weak girl.”
”But...”
”Please! Please!”
She hugged me and pressed her chest against mine.
I managed to keep my mind from turning to mush at the feel of her breasts against mine and focused on what I should do.
If you want to get stronger, I can do it with my skills. But the problem is that you could get hurt.
If something were to happen, it would be irreparable.
The story would be different if there was at least one way to heal the wound.
”It can't be helped. Since master is in this situation, I will make an effort to heal Marianne's wounds if she gets hurt.
”Can you heal wounds?”
”Yes, my healing waves can easily remove even the toughest wounds.”
So there would be no problem?
”As a servant of the Crown, I strongly oppose it. If anything should happen to the young lady...”
“I'm glad you feel that way, Urara. But this decision was made with the future in mind. There is no guarantee that the demons will not attack again, and I have to become stronger in order to help my father.”
”My Lady...”
She is certainly right. If you have great physical strength, you are less likely to be caught by the enemy, and if you have a high level, you will not be hurt easily. You can even avoid situations like this.
”Let's train you, Marianne.”
Paki. Paki.
A sound interrupted my words.
