Volume 3 Chapter 0 prologue (2/2)

Luna starting clinging to my body. This girl is definitely being spoilt.

[When we reunite at Flaregard, I’ll play with you so please be patient and buy souvenirs for me.] (Youya)

[Luna will endure. Youya, hurry up and come back.] (Luna)

Luna looked up at me with wet eyes. If she continues like this I’ll have to try hard to stop my heart from crumbling.

[Selene, I’m counting on you to take care of the two of them.] (Youya)

[Yes. Since I am older, I’ll be sure to take care of them.] (Selene)

Initially she was quite difficult to handle in public, however recently Selene has become much more mature and it has become much easier to trust her.

[Once you arrive at the town, head to the guild and report to the receptionist at the guild. Have her take care of the arrangements such as the inn and other essentials. Be sure not to go to the dungeon until I arrive. Dungeons level 30 and above have many traps and monsters that are capable of annihilating adventurers. Many adventurers who have gotten past their mid-career crisis have lost their life like this being unprepared.] (Youya)

I am currently asking them to utilise the city navigation system from the guild in Flaregard. It is expensive however utilizing the guild’s navigation service will ensure that there is no mistake.

(Note: Raws say the guild in greenwood however I am assuming it meant flaregard.)

[Uhn. I promise.] (Selene)

[Wahwahwah. Why would you think that we would enter the dungeon without you. We would have never become this strong without you you know.] (Til)

Til said a joke. I firmly grasped her shoulder and stared straight at her eyes.

[I am serious. Stop that. Death is nothing to joke about. The difficulty of dungeons jump up at level 30. I don’t want to lose you guys. Okay? There aren’t many adventurers who are above level 30 for one simple reason. Because most adventurers who do reach that point die. If I’m not around, I am afraid of that happening to you.] (Youya)

[Uwah. I understand, so don’t make that face please. I promise.] (Til)

Til diverted her head with a red face. It’s good that she understands it. Although Luna,Til and Selene were talented, it is still possible for them to be killed in a high-level dungeon just by overlooking a small detail or dying without understanding the characteristics of a monster.

[I’ll depart at dawn tomorrow morning, so if any of you have something you’ll like to talk about then be sure to tell me before then.] (Youya)

Everyone nodded as we began our normal conversations. After awhile, Luna raised her hand.

[Whats wrong?] (Youya)

[Since Youya won’t be around for 8 days, Luna wants to sleep with Youya for tonight.] (Luna)

That was a request that I have been refusing except for the matter with the Magic Egg. Initially I was going to refuse her request, however watching her teary eyes grow wetter and her fox ears slowing falling made me change my mind. As expected I can’t be cruel enough to make her more depressed than this.

[…. I understand, since this is a special occasion.] (Youya)

[Luna loves Youya!] (Luna)

Luna jumped into my chest while shaking her fluffy fox tail.

[As expected from Youya, you have a huge heart. You will be sleeping in our bed tonight.] (Til)

[Wait a minute. How did you come to that conclusion.] (Youya)

[I want to sleep with Youya too, and the sofa is so small. Wait, could it be that you planned to drive me out of the bed to the sofa? Or maybe you are going to make Luna sleep with you on the sofa?] (Til)

There isn’t’t any getting away from this. As expected, Til’s slyness came through. Selene had an envious back in the back as she looked at the situation. However she didn’t say anything as it would be embarrassing. It is really regretful but I can’t ask her for help. Disregarding the two girls, there are many problems with sleeping with Selene.

[Youya, let’s head to bed early.] (Luna)

[Fuu,fuu,fuu. Be sure to love us plenty tonight okay.] (Til)

The two girls grabbed my hands and we headed towards the bed. On the bed, Luna and Til slept on my sides and cuddled against me tightly. It felt bad in many ways but whenever I looked at their peaceful faces, I felt secure as my anxiety disappeared. This must be what it feels like to be a father.

Seriously, such hopeless children.

It’s time for me to sleep as well. Once I’ve gotten comfortable to the current situation I should be able to have a good night’s sleep.

As soon as the sun appeared on the horizon, I departed from Greenwood.

[Youya, catch up with us as soon as possible!] (Luna)

[If its possible, then be sure to overtake us!] (Til)

[We’ll be waiting for you in Flaregard!] (Selene)

Currently, I was riding on the two legged reptile, Raptor and am on the way to pick up Phil from Rumberg. I could feel Raptor’s body throbbing from excitement as we were finally able to go on a trip again.

[Let’s push ourselves to the limit and bring Phil with us to Flaregard.] (Youya)

I hadn’t consulted everyone about this, but I am planning on informing Phil about my secrets. About the level reset. Then, we are going to reset her level and head to Flaregard after obtaining a job for her at Rumberg. Having Phil at level 50 would be a reliable force for us, however if we are thinking about the future, it’ll be better for her to have a level reset.

In order to clear the Tower of Trials, having just level 50 isn’t enough. I firmly grabbed Raptor’s reins as I instructed him to go faster.

[We can finally go on an adventure together.] (Youya)

My dream of going on an adventurer with Phil will finally come true. It’s lonely having to separate from the girls however, I am looking forward to reuniting with Phil again.
