Chapter 529 – IF Alone in Another World 15 (Added)

All problems come from humans.

There is a saying on Earth like this: All events and accidents that occur in the world ultimately happen because of humans, so if we eliminate humans, there will be no problems.

It was something I said only half-jokingly on Earth, but I never imagined that I would remember this proverb when I came to this world.

“We decided to hunt this monster first.”

“… “What?”

After the hunt, another adventurer party approached Dojin and his party who were collecting magic stones. They claimed that the monsters Dojin and his party hunted were the monsters they had decided to hunt.

At first, he didn’t know what that meant, but soon Dojin realized that it was a threat to give up the magic stone.

‘What the… ?’

Even though it wasn’t worth dealing with, the other side clung tenaciously. I could have been confident. This is three women and one man. On the other hand, it was a large party with more than eight men.

An adventurer hunting in the lower classes. Since there are almost twice as many people, you probably thought you would be able to steal the magic stones without much difficulty.

In reality, that wasn’t the case. This is because Dojin and his party came down to a lower level than the level they normally hunt in order to warm up.

“… What should I do?”

“Let’s kill it.”

“Let’s just go, right?”

“Why are you worrying? “Can’t we just bury it all?”

While the group who heard Do-jin’s words responded, Do-jin nodded and followed their words. So, it means that I made a gesture to tell you to get out of here.

Then, surprisingly, the other party clicked their tongue and disappeared into the distance. Even though the number is nearly twice as large, did they think there was no need to take the risk?

Dojin, who was watching the party disappearing into the distance as if it were absurd, let out a laugh at the fact that people like that exist in this world as well.

“Are people like that common?”

“It’s not common. Even more so the lower the level.”

“What does the guild do?”

“Because we can’t control everything that happens inside the dungeon.”

Let’s say someone experiences the same thing and is forced to have the magic stone stolen.

What would happen if those who came out of the dungeon reported the robbery to the guild? I can’t do anything.

The guild will keep an eye on the party that has committed robbery, but that doesn’t mean they will steal the magic stones they have and return them to them. If that were to happen, false accusations of robbery would come flooding back here and there.

And after hearing the explanation, Rise carefully stepped forward.

“You mean you can’t do anything even if you commit a crime in the dungeon?”

“… “No murder.”

“If it’s not murder, is it okay?”

Dojin shook her head at Raeje’s words. Murder is not allowed. Even if it leaves no trace in the dungeon, its soul leaves a trace. If the priests of the church inspect it, they will quickly find out that they killed someone.

Criminal behavior is also not good. Whatever happens inside the dungeon, you can’t notice it from the outside, but to put it another way, it means you can fully notice it from the inside.

“Our goal is to get to the top. And that is not a goal that can be achieved by pretending to be with others.”

Dungeon exploration is also a kind of competition.

There are even a lot of rumors surrounding that dungeon.

There is also a rumor that once someone sees the end of the dungeon, the dungeon will disappear completely.

What would happen if word got around that Dojin and his party were trying to see the end of the dungeon? If you have been good at managing your reputation, you will help and support them – but if not, you will come out and hinder them.

Well, there is no need to directly interfere. In this day and age where God does not answer, there were religious organizations that worshiped dungeons instead of God. If you tell them, Dojin and his party will be threatened with assassination from time to time.

“Hmm… Okay, okay. “I’ll close my eyes this time.”

Raize seemed very convinced. I will close my eyes this once. Do-jin looked at her like that, nodded, and then walked in front of her.

Dojin and his party, who were moving forward like that, soon discovered a monster and hunted it. A time when I was slowly checking my skills and trying to save my life.

“─Leader!”

An arrow flew from somewhere and finished off the monster. Arrows and magic stones roll on the floor, and adventurers appear to pick them up.

These are the people who started the fight earlier and who were kicked out. Dojin stepped forward, crushing the arrows that fell in front of him.

“What is this doing?”

“Y-that’s what I mean. That monster is also the one we found and tried to hunt first. But you guys got caught in the middle. Oh my, I broke the arrow there too. “How can I do this?”

“It was like that before, but this time too it happened by chance. Is this what you mean?”

“It’s not a coincidence, you guys always intervene?”

The adventurer chuckles. The eyes and corners of the mouth are full of sneer. Sayoung saw that and stepped forward, holding her sword.

“These bastards with haircuts. “You have to separate your head from your body to come to your senses, right?”

“Ugh, be scared. Is this why you shouldn’t interact with beasts? No. Just looking at it—are you sticking around to eat with such a beast?”

“What? This bastard-!”

The moment Sa-yeong was about to step in front of her, Do-jin stretched out his arm and blocked her. Sayoung looked back at Dojin as if asking why he was blocking her.

Do-jin pushed the enraged Sa-young behind her and moved forward, holding her magic stone that had fallen to the floor.

The adventurer who saw that smiled.

“Conversation is easy here. Yes, like that—.”

And in the next moment, the magic stone thrown by Dojin lodges itself in the face of the adventurer man. While my colleagues were confused as to what on earth was going on.

The sword drawn by Dojin simultaneously cut off the wrist of Cernutt next to the adventurer. Blood spurted out like a fountain, and adventurers with their wrists cut off screamed and rolled on the floor.

“Kwaaaaahh-!?
“You crazy bastard!”

The adventurer, who belatedly realized the situation, brought in a crossbow. Knight Slayer. An item that made knights who believed in strong armor and scorned them outdated.

This object, which was built to penetrate even the skin of monsters, immediately protested.

However, Do-jin remained calm even after seeing the arrow flying at him. He just swung his sword. Siya, who had not lost sight of the arrow’s trajectory until the end, quickly struck it down.

“Uh, uh-?”

“W-what- I cut the arrow…” … ?”

While the adventurers were shocked, Dojin cut off the wrists of everyone, including those who shot arrows at him.

While the eight adult men were all clutching their arms and groaning, Do-jin, who had shaken off the blood from his sword, lifted the sword and opened his mouth.

“Slit the wrists of those who steal. In our country, if there is a person who touches other people’s things, this is what they do.”

Of course, this was a story from thousands of years ago. However, there was no need for Dojin to kindly explain that. The adventurer, who was holding his wrist and groaning, listened to Dojin’s words and looked up at him with bloodshot eyes.

“You, you, I know that the guild will stay still… !?”

“What makes the guys who tried to rob us so bold?”

“Si, I’m going to report it! “We were just passing by when we were suddenly attacked!”

“Hmm. “Then you want me to forgive the robber who tried to rob me twice?”

“Under-! There is no evidence for that! Proof that we were trying to steal your stuff! But look! I can prove that my wrists are now cut off! You’re screwed now! Even if I get down on my knees and beg, I can’t forgive you.”

“Rise.”

Dojin cut off the loudly muttering adventurer and looked behind him. Rize, who had been quietly watching with his hood up until then, stepped forward.

After receiving the call, Raize stepped forward and held out a crystal ball in his hand. The moment she mutters something, the situation that just happened is reproduced in her crystal ball.

[─Anyway, if you stick with those beasts…]

[There is no evidence that we tried to steal it! Evidence!]

[You’re screwed now…]

“… Magic?”

The moment he realizes that what was unleashed in Raize’s hand was magic, the complexion of the adventurer in front of him turns cold. A wizard must be at least a level 1 adventurer to become a companion.

So, they are monsters that have escaped from humans and freely roam over 30 floors.

Why is such an adventurer in this class? As soon as that thought came to mind, the adventurers realized who they were trying to rob.

“─I said, who will believe you?”

Dojin looked down at the robber adventurers with a grave expression.

“Let’s give it a try and see who believes in us.”

“Ah, ah- now, wait a minute. We’ll take care of our own arms being cut off… !”

“Oh, yes. How about this?”

Slurp – Dojin, who had drawn his sword, handed the hilt to the adventurer. The adventurer who had suddenly received the sword looked at Dojin as if wondering what it meant.

“Cut me with that. “If you succeed in cutting it down, I’ll let you go.”

“Si, if you fail… ?”

“I will kill you.”

The man’s emotionless eyes, as if flowing with steel instead of blood, pierce the adventurer.

In the end, the adventurer slowly dropped his sword. At first, it felt a bit heavy to hold with one hand.

“Well, I was wrong…” … Please save me, please save me…”

Chit-.

Dojin clicked his tongue in disappointment and drew his sword.

And I tore the return scroll.

20th layer. The group, who had been on the guild’s list of persons of interest for committing robberies against fellow adventurers, was arrested like that.

Even after they came out, there will be no interest in the dungeon.

* * *

“Dojin.”

“Huh?”

“I have something to tell you.”

Dojin, who was watching the robber adventurers being arrested by the guards, looked back at Raije who called him. When I looked down at her as if asking what was going on, Ije hesitated and carefully opened her mouth.

“—I don’t think this would have been successful if it weren’t for my magic.”

“Yes.”

“Then, it’s safe to say that my help in this matter was great.”

“Right?”

“—Then it’s fair for me to ask for a reward, right?”

“Okay… Ji?”

Raije said while looking into Dojin’s eyes.

“Tonight, I want to buy your time.”
