”Here we are, bro! This is the end point!
Good to hear about your safety.
”Hahaha! There's no way I'm going to make a mistake in piloting this thing, brother.
Good work, well, well, but still, you know.
”Wow! Big ne!
”Hmm, nice dungeon.
The airborne flight was over without incident and had reached its destination.
The giant dragonfly landed at the far end of a canyon in the northwest part of the continent.
Perhaps because of our physical abilities, Amelia and I don't use a ladder, but we jump down and look at the imposing hollow entrance in front of us.
It's definitely huge.
The huge cave entrance makes you wonder why it's not collapsing, as it looks like a passenger plane could fit through it.
Mike says it's magnificent, but it's just as dangerous.
The fact that dragonflies are clacking their jaws to threaten the approaching monsters around the entrance is proof of this.
Moreover, the menacing monster beasts all seem to have their own peculiarities, so this is not funny.
You'll be able to see that scene and think to yourself, ”I don't want to smoke today.
”And then? Where do we go from here? You don't mean to tell me that you're not going to just walk in.
”Hahahahaha! Brother, that's a crazy thing to do.
First and foremost, I'll crush my biggest fears.
I was going to make plans to beat the jolly pollywog if this question was answered in the affirmative, but it doesn't seem to take any extra effort.
”Don't worry, brother. My partner let me know we're here. Your ride will be here soon, brother.
”I thought it was a threat.
”Hahahahaha! This guy's menace is not this easy! See what if? Brothers
”No, thanks, it's not my hobby to get tired for nothing.
”I'm sorry, brother.
Who sadly yearns to see a real threat.
It's also a threatening effect, so just keep on clattering your jaws.
The menace of this vicious-looking giant dragonfly would be a lot more powerful.
I'm already tired.
I don't want to waste my time and energy on this place.
”Amelia, I know you're unusual, but don't go in there. Even if you're good, you're bothering your classmates that you're keeping afloat.
”Oh, heh, heh.
”Rest assured, Jiro, I will use Amy as a shield to protect them if the need arises. So don't worry about Amy, you can go in there, okay?
”That's my magic! If that happens, Mike will be in danger with you too!
”I don't mind, okay?
”I'll take care of it!
”Your brother's company is buzzing. Don't you think so, brother?
”Unfortunately, the mood of the parents precedes that.
Amelia was curious about the cave (dungeon) in Amelia, and she approached the cave to get a closer look.
When I stop her, she's being teased by an obsessed Mike.
Well, rather than being caved in, I just watch them.
The pollywoge talks to me.
I'm just going to talk to him and tell him how I feel, but still, I wonder if this guy needs to add a brother to the end of the word.
Ever since I came to pick you up, I've been calling you by your brother.
I've been calling Amelia ”missy” and she knows that, but where does that leave us?
Unfortunately, there are no bugs in my family tree.
Hey, why do I call him brother?
”It's easy, bro!
Ask what you don't know.
When I did, the pollywoge gave me a thumbs-up and said in a serious voice: ”That's because you're a great brother!
”That's why you're my brother, man!
I don't get it. I don't get it.
”Shock! Why can't you understand my passion, brother!
You can't divide us up with that.
Smoking a cigarette and looking at the pollywog who stands next to you.
No! I'm not sure why he's called me brother, but I'm not sure why he's called me brother, either.
Anyway, I don't know why this man calls me brother.
Not that I'd really like to know.
Maybe it's important to this man, but to me it's just a way to pass the time.
I won't correct you unless it's a very strange thing to call him.
You don't have long to ask the question you've been thinking about, and when you try to focus on your cigarette again, the ground rises with dust.
Hmm?
Lately it has begun to become a habit, reaching for the mineral tree whenever there is a change.
It senses the signs and stays alert.
I wonder if it's a Hexenbiest.
”I think we're coming for you, brother.
The pollywoman sensed it and looked at the ground, wiping away my fears.
As if on cue, it sprouted with tremendous force.
...... enemy?
”Nanny!
”Oh, I miss it.
”No, 'it' is the pick me up, brother.
It looks like a carnivorous plant to me.
That anxiety soon reappeared, but
As each reacted, a plant appeared suddenly, with a huge bucket-like object attached to the end of its thick, wispy trunk.
Its appearance resembles that of an earthly moray eel.
But in addition to its color, it was too agile to move like a plant.
At that point it would be a different species from the earth's moray eel.
I'm not sure we can even classify them as plants.
Look, the bucket has fangs at the entrance and you just said ”kisher”.
They won't attack, so I won't fight them, but I'll keep my hand on the hilt of the mineral tree.
It's a plant that crosses space, a dungeon elevator, brother. It's a great way to get to the bottom level if you ride in on this thing's vessel, okay? Brothers
”Eaten?
The pollywoge points to exactly the right place for insects to catch them.
There's no doubt they'll be melted and fed.
He looks at you wondering if you're serious.
”It's okay, it's okay! If it's not hostile, they'd rather send you home with glowing skin! Brothers!
”If we get hostile, we're in trouble. We can guarantee our safety, can't we?
Don't worry about it, go ahead and get eaten, brother.
”......
This guy just told me to go get eaten.
He thinks it's his business.
......
Scratching your head as you wonder what to do.
You can't make a snap decision.
I've experienced many fantasies in the past, but this is indeed unknown territory.
It's no laughing matter if you get in and say, ”It's okay, I understand,” and it's all digested.
Yes, it's all right. He's not lying about what he's saying.
”Really, Mike?
”It's no different than I remember. They'll get you there safe.
Will he try to dispel those fears?
Mike, who is obsessed with Amelia, will share his knowledge with you.
I heard how he came to meet Amelia on the airplane.
And I'm told by Amelia that she's not lying.
So it wouldn't be a lie to say that.
And I want to believe that it's company-provided transportation, no problem at all to .......
...... All right. But if you get bitten, I'll come out of there as a ghost.
”Oh! I'm waiting for you, brother!
”Don't wait for me, a**h*le.
”Aita!”?
We can't just sit here.
There's no way I'm going to charge into the dungeon.
I'm going to poke him on the head and ignore the pollywog who's in pain as I stand in front of the dungeon elevator, slowly lowering the bowl in front of me and cracking open the lid.
You can't feel the digestive juices or hypnotic gas that you had imagined as you peer into the dungeon to make sure it's safe to get in before Amelia and the others.
I look behind me to see if my fears were unnecessary.
I think I'm okay, let's get in.
OK!
I call out to Amelia and let them in.
I make sure the floating students are inside too, and finally skip the pollywoge goodbye.
Thanks for your help.
See you soon, brother!
That's all I have to say and I go inside.
It's dim inside, but reasonably spacious.
I thought it would be more crowded, but the feeling of entrapment is there, but I can stand it for a little while.
With a surprisingly light click, the top lid closes and the car is finally ready to go.
