Kelvin’s House

Sara and Rion returned to the mansion and changed their clothes. It has been confirmed by the subordinate network that Kelvin was still in the underground training ground. They didn’t forget to put their weapons in Clotho’s storage and left the mansion in a hurry.

However, they wanted to tell Efil a word. She was drying the laundry outside the mansion.

“Efil, be enthusiastic about today’s supper!”

“…? Yes, I understand.”

Efil asked a question while tilting her head. No matter what, Sara left at a tremendous speed.

“What happened?”

Eventually, Efil resumed her work while thinking about the menu with a strong spirit.

Clay worm’s Path

Sara and her party joined Gerard in the city and headed for the destination dungeon “Clay worm’s Path”. Although it was a little far from Pars, with Sara’s feet it was possible to arrive there.

“We’ve arrived! I wonder if it’s a good time.”

The entrance to the dungeon was a huge cave around 3 m. high. Was it done by a monster of this size digging it up? Although the sunlight did not reach it, torches were set up in places, probably because they were placed by the adventurer who visited before. Mysteriously, the flame did not seem to go out.

“That torch, I feel the magical power from it, although very little.”

“Maybe it’s a magic item. It probably replenishes its magical power every time an adventurer passed. I wonder if there is a turn for my Fire Lamp.”

“Hmm. It looks like this area isn’t abnormal so far.”

Sara also confirmed with her detection skill that there was no suspicious place around the cave. However, there was certainly a strong sign in the dungeon.

“Hmm? This isn’t as strong as A-class. Maybe it’s an S-class monster…!”

“We did it! It’s a hit, Sera!”

“I’m suddenly motivated. I’ll keep my mind on it!”

With Gerard in the lead, Sara, Alex, and Rion followed behind. Gerard moved forward with caution, and Sara searched for the monster’s surprise attacks and traps. The cave extended to the side from the entrance, but at a certain point, it fell diagonally downward. From there, there were many forks, just like a maze.\n

“This way!”

Sera relies on the signs to choose the path. So far, it seemed that all the choices were correct, and the signs were getting closer. However, what was worrisome was that the subject of the sign did not move at all. It seemed as if something was waiting for them.

“Gerard, a monster will come out from the ground five steps away.”

“Aye, Ich understand.”

As Sara predicted, when Gerard approached the designated location, a clay worm attacked from the ground. Gerard cut the monster in half the moment it appeared as if breathing in.

(Well, isn’t it weird even if there was a specification? You can see it if you go on.)

Sara was optimistic, slamming her back fist without looking at the clay worm approaching from above.

Clay worm’s Path / New Dungeon Entrance

“It’s a little unexpected.”

The passage of the cave extending in a straight line was visible ahead of Sara. In the middle of that, there was a large hole dug by the giant earth dragon that Heath was talking about. And a huge shadow standing in front of that big hole was shaken by the light of the flame of the torch.

Sara concentrated on the shadow while leaning her back against the wall on a blind spot.

“Well, if you’re not good at it, you might be stronger than me! You’re really lucky!”

“Well … Ich would have been happy if my liege was here.”

“It’s no laughing matter if you mess with Sara anymore. Well, if it is Kel-ni, he’ll be happy.”

Even though she said those words, Rion was also happy and feeling that her chest was throbbing. It may be that she had Kelvin’s fighting madness quality, the brother she respected.

Just then, a movement appeared in the shadow. The part that seemed to be the head turned all around.

“It noticed us!”

“The road is narrow; this one comes forward! You asked for help!”

Gerard’s black Shield Dreadnought was held up and went forward to protect.\n“Wait, Gera-ji! That’s a person!?”

“What!?”

When Gerard came out in front, he looked more closely, he saw a big man wearing pink women’s clothing on top of his chiseled muscles. He was tall and had blond and curly hair. In many ways, Gerard doubted his eyes.

“A person, but …”

“I wonder if it’s a transvestite…”

It was a kind of monster.

The monster suddenly takes the position of crouching start.

“You guys…”

A female-like thick voice quietly sank.

“Here … it’s dangerous!”

The mass of muscles that made a beautiful start came towards them with a full power dash. Every time the big man kicked the ground, the ground was gouged deep, and the dungeon shook lightly while earth and sand fell from the ceiling. Gerard’s inward cold and sweat did not stop due to too much power and too much metamorphosis.

(It’s your outfit that’s dangerous!)

Gerard reflexively took the position of interception, but the lump of muscles was just around the corner.

[It’s probably a human being, but what to do!?? Do you want to cut it!??]

[Anyway, if you attack, it’s self-defense! I’ll support you!]

[Alex, dive into the shadows!]

They decided on countermeasures by high-speed telepathy communication. Sara and the others started to act without any deviation. Sara and Rion chanted magic, and Alex dived into Gerard’s shadow to prepare for his next move.

In contrast, the big Man kept his position low enough to get to the ground at maximum speed and rotated a few steps before colliding with Gerard’s battleship Black Shield Dreadnought.

(Apparently, it’s a bare-handed martial arts user! Interesting!)

Predicting that a kind of kick using rotation would come, Gerard activated his mind’s eye. Detect any attack and repel it. Gerard aimed at the shield bash.\n\nSara did not seem to care at all.

“Look, isn’t it a story that a new S-class adventurer will be born in Pars soon? That adventurer seems to be a young man named Kelvin! As I do not want to miss the chance to check out a nice boy, it is an event not to be missed!”

Goldiana raised one leg. Gerard was already tight and pale.

“So, I was on my way to Pars, but I felt something wrong with my “sixth sense” in this dungeon. So I came to check it out and indeed A-class monsters came out from the other side of that hole. No! I can’t allow the cute chicks in the dungeon to be crushed, so I stand watch here, waiting for the guild to move.”

“You’re a good guy, Goldiana! But don’t touch Kelvin!”

“Ah? Maybe you guys know Kelvin-chan?”

“Oh, we haven’t introduced ourselves yet.”

They let Alex came out of the shadow and finished the tale.

“Well, Kelvin is Rion-chan’s older brother!? Ufufu, this seems to be more promising than expected!”

“Ahahahaha … (Not blood related.)”

Goldiana inflated Kelvin’s delusion while gazing at Rion’s face. It seems that he was rated as a cute and beautiful boy in his head.

“That’s why I was telling you that you shouldn’t touch Kelvin!”

“Sara-chan is so beautiful that I’m jealous of her… Maybe Kelvin-chan’s lover?”

“Well, it’s different! But no!”

“… I see. Yeah, I understand. I’ll support you, Sara-chan. Good luck.”

Goldiana tapped Sara’s shoulder. Perhaps because Sara was upset, she couldn’t recognize Goldiana’s movement until she was hit on the shoulder.

“Instead, I wonder if I should get this dandy uncle.”

“Eh?”

“Ufu”

Goldiana’s strong arms were wrapped around Gerard’s shoulders.
