36 Chapter 36 ~ Game Starts - P2 (1/2)

Shiro and Alicia landed safely on the ground. Falling down, Shiro did not use a single spell, except when they already got close to the ground in which he used the low-tier spell: ”Float”, a spell that can stop falling objects and even players mid-air.

[ Uhh... ]

Shiro and Alicia are now standing on the ground without a single scratch in their bodies.

The room they're now in is dark for Alicia's eyes, but for Shiro, the view is as bright as the day.

[ Flash. ] Shiro muttered the name of the spell, and instantly, the room was covered in bright light, leaving no shadows behind.

Shiro used the spell with no means of helping himself see more clearly, but to help Alicia with her vision. Shiro thought with the room so wide and large, Alicia's light magic will not be as much of a help as it only brightens up a rather small amount of area. It would be dangerous if monsters who use range attacks approaches her as she would not be able to see them attack at all in a distance.

And now, opening her eyes to the bright room, Alicia exclaimed:

[ Thi-This is! ]

[ Yes, I've already guessed it will turn out like this. It's called ”Ancient Ruins” for a reason. ] Shiro voiced as he gazes at the view in front of his eyes.

Cracked walls of sturdy looking bricks appeared before them. In their right, left, back, and front, are entrances to large corridors, while on the ceiling is a huge hole now covered and sealed with muddy brown dirt.

( The dungeon is controlled by a master, huh? ) Shiro guessed.

In the game, dungeons that can revive itself means that it's being controlled by one or two dungeon masters or bosses. Hence Shiro had reached such a conclusion.

( But nevermind that... )

[ Are you okay? ] he asked Alicia he's carrying gently in his arms.

[ ... ] Alicia only stared at him, wordless.

( ... )

[ A-Ah! Yes, I'm fine! ] with a surprised expression on her face, she pushed her self away from Shiro.

Realizing what she meant by her action, Shiro immediately put her feet down onto the ground, and the soon as he did, Alicia distanced her self away from him.

( ... )

( This girl... I saved her and this is what I get... ) Shiro muttered inside his head as he looked at the back of the girl beside him.

[ ... ]

[ ... ]

After he had put her down, neither of them said a word.

( Should I start a conversation...? This seems pretty awkward... )

[ Umm... Vlad-san... ]

[ Mm? What is it? ] hearing her suddenly call him, Shiro immediately faced her direction.

[ Umm... I... I guess I should thank you for saving me... ]

[ ... ]

( Oho~ I'm expecting it, but it still doesn't feel real hearing her actually says it... ) Shiro muttered inside his head together with a blank expression on his face.

[ Ju-Just know that this is not a big deal, you understand!? ] she shouted at Shiro as she hugs her staff tight with both of her arms.

[ ... ]

( Now what is she talking about... )

[ Look, saving you is a pretty big deal for me. I ignored my companions just to save you, and you'll call that ” Not a big deal”? Are you even thankful at all? Also, if you didn't fall for that trap, we wouldn't be in this situation at all; are you even feeling sorry for what you did? ]

[ Tha-That's! I... I'm thankful... And I'm also really sorry... I am... ]

( I know that this all happened because of me and I'm at fault...! I also know that I probably now caused everyone trouble and has put our lives in danger... but... )

[ But to suddenly be saved by someone I hate... ] Alicia only whispered in silence.
