135 131 If you ask for help, its a different question whether you can help or not (1/2)

He took the cloak I offered him and put it on honestly, so he could look at me properly and face me.

The angel looks at me as if nothing special happened, showing large wings on her back, as if she doesn't have any thoughts about her previous outfit.

And then?　Why are the angels here?

Are you sure it's a question of why I'm in the dungeon?

”Yes, it would be helpful if you could explain to me what happened before you were attacked, but I'd be happy to spare you the trouble.

”Hmm, it's my job to explain the situation to the brave men. And there's not much to it.

No, I'm not a brave man, okay?

Why this angel thinks I'm a hero doesn't matter now.

I can see the mess we're going to get into later anyway.

You'll hear about it then.

You turn your hand to urge him to withdraw his denial.

I apologize for being a little crude, but time is running out. Let's get straight to the point. I was sealed and powered by this dungeon, from which I escaped.

”......

”Why do you look at me like I'm there again?　Normally I should be surprised if an angel like me is taking the place of the dungeon core?

Frustrated by the lack of a convincing reaction, the angel in front of you has a bit of a glazed look in her eyes.

But unfortunately, it's all you can do not to let out a sigh.

No, I mean, what can I say? I've been thinking a lot lately that I should do an exorcism when I get home. I'm kind of out of stock on the feeling of surprise.

As expected of a four-star lucky person, I'm in trouble again.

I've been thinking that something might happen when I was refused entry to this dungeon, to be more specific.

I'm sure he's not some kind of trouble type of protagonist, but I remember that things were rarely smooth, and I've been in trouble every day since I was at my previous company.

It's a sad reminder of the sad reality that it's just that kind of thing that has changed.

”Okay, I didn't see anything. We didn't meet. Okay?

”No, wait, why are we talking about breaking up with me?

”Understand, no, you don't need to understand. I don't need you to understand or understand anything. Just be satisfied and let me go through with the schedule. Earnestly.

”Not so fast. I'll help you to repay the debt, and I'll help you to repay the debt.

”No, I don't want that kind of obvious trouble.

!

No, that's a ridiculous look that won't change your answer.

You want to break up with her quickly, but she won't let you.

You'll be thinking that this is a compulsory event, and you'll see an opening and try to leave, but the angels will try to bite you to prevent you from doing so.

You've been taking advantage of the maintenance of the dungeon core for 200 years, and you don't think you can help the weak angel who finally escaped after accumulating a lot of hard work!　You're still a brave man!

”I'm not a brave man!　How many times do I have to tell you to understand!　I've been denying that it was different from the beginning, haven't I!　Enough is enough, let's get away from the brave!　Even deaf protagonists will listen a little more decently!　And look at the devastation around you!　How can you say I'm weak!　Sealed this power, no matter how you look at it, you don't need my help!　You'll be able to handle it on your own!

The whole area has been gutted by the iron ball and the terrain has been changed.

If the dungeon is functioning normally, changing the terrain would be impossible, but this angel is taking over for the dungeon core, and the dungeon core is not there right now.

That would make the functioning of the system unstable and interfere with normal operations.

It's a bit of a stretch since it wasn't properly controlled to begin with, but even so, the terrain shouldn't be able to change.

But the angel in front of me accomplished it with physics alone.

That alone proves that this angel is not a weak being.

”Hmm?　Wait a minute, weren't you just 200 years old? I heard this dungeon is much older than that. Even if we were to accompany the heroes when they invaded and somehow got sealed up in time, wouldn't that still be too late?

”Two hundred and thirty-five years, three months, and two days, to be exact. Your question is understandable. That's how long I've been awake, to be exact, and I'll leave out a little bit before that, but before I became a dungeon core, I was wounded in a battle with the dungeon master here and I was asleep for a long time. Well, the next thing I knew, I found myself connected to a dungeon and was about to be forced to rewrite some information about the dungeon, but I refused to do it all!　I'm an angel. I will not help you with demons.

You can boast that I'm a big man, but don't go too far because you can see the white navel through the cloak.

Fine. I mean, is the administrator of this dungeon stupid?　You must be an idiot. No, I'm pretty sure he's an idiot. There's a thin possibility that it's a paper-thin possibility that it's something, but I'd like to think it's not.

Whoever is managing the dungeons here using the three levels of utilization is an idiot.

No matter how powerful and long-lived the angels were, they still had no idea what they were thinking about incorporating them into their function.

No matter how much they are restrained, there is a possibility that they could have taken over the dungeon if they were wrong.

Why are we using a life form hostile to our dungeon control? There are too many nitpicks.

According to what he said when he was conscious, this dungeon core was damaged in the battle with the heroes and had a low lifespan. But whoever was in charge of the dungeon at that time was afraid of losing power and incorporated me into the dormant state at their discretion. And now it's been in place for generations.

I was tempted to tell him to get up, but he made up for it by guessing that it must have been a very bad fight, and then proceeded to tell the story.

I'm convinced it's a rather likely story. Also, from what I hear, how long have you been on the run?

”It's been three days now, or so, and it's been a painful climb up the hierarchy from the deepest part of the city to here, relying on magic detection in a blind state.

...... Yeah, I see the real reason why they were so upset. The reason for the family's downfall is right in front of you.

”Me?

What else is there?

And I finally understand why the explorer's guild was in such a hurry to get to that point.

Amilicia's story was not wrong, but it wasn't a perfect answer.

The escape of the angel that had been diverted to the dungeon core at the same time that he was aiming for the seat of the seven generals.

Moreover, the angel is powerful enough to maintain the dungeon.

What kind of liability issue will be raised if it's revealed that she let that thing out of the dungeon?

It's scary to think about.

In addition, as you can see from the way this angel spoke, it was the sole decision of the person in charge at the time to incorporate the angel into the dungeon, and whether or not it was illegal to use the angel's power is unknown, but if he did it on his own and didn't give his consent, he'll probably get away with it.

If someone like me comes in at this juncture, well...you'll be in a hurry.

I'm sure they have guards and researchers in the dungeon core, which is probably their top secret, and they're probably hurrying to deal with the reports coming in from there.

From this angel's point of view, he was being unfairly restrained and his magic was being exploited, so he just made and carried out elaborate preparations to get out of there.

However, from the point of view of those who had been managing it with a sense of security because it was safe and sound, they would have been in a panic like a child poking at a beehive.

The nerve of the angel, whose expression seemed to indicate that the gravity of the matter was not a big deal, was impressive.

And once you realize that, it's easy to act.

All right, I get it. Then good luck getting out.

”Wait!　So why do you avoid me so much!　Isn't this the place to reach out!

”You know what I'm talking about!　No matter how beautiful she is, it's a different story if she's carrying a bomb called trouble!　My priority now is personal safety over a man's ulterior motives!　That's what a man who is going to be a father needs!

It's good for us to know the whole story.
