Chapter 222 – Episode 222 – Date!

◈

Keeeee

“I’m dying!!!”

It’s a joke!

“Become my living expenses!”

“Fireball!”

“Slash!”

Keeeee

On the first floor today, like two days ago, a struggle between novice adventurers and goblins was taking place.

It must have been difficult for him to regain his usual slightly relaxed appearance in just three days.

“Sah, that’s bloody…”

Melissa saw the scene and hid behind my back.

“Because living expenses are at stake.”

“Rant too… Do you fight like that?”

“No, I’m more relaxed.”

Because no matter what you do, you won’t get hurt.

“There are a lot of people here, so let’s go inside.”

I gave Melissa a princess hug.

“Kyaaak! Rae, Rant.”

“I’m leaving.”

Holding Melissa, I ran until the other adventurers were out of sight.

“I’ll do it here.”

After running normally for about 5 minutes, I ran for the other 5 minutes in a muscle wagon style and quickly arrived at a place where there were no other adventurers.

“I-Hey. Is it really okay to come here? There are a lot of goblins around…”

Snack!

Keeeee

Just as Melissa said, 5 goblins surrounded me as I stopped.

But this level is not much of a problem.

“It’s okay, Melissa.”

I carefully put Melissa on the floor and created a translucent cylindrical barrier around her.

… When I thought about it, it seemed that if I applied it like this, I would n’t have to use Elsie’s protection for her.

No, think long term.

Elsie’s protection can pass through air.

Mine is made almost entirely of magical power, so I won’t be able to use it for a long time unless I pierce the top so air can’t go through.

Let’s think so.

“Looking good.”

I slowly walked towards the goblin.

Keeeee

And 5 goblins rushed at me at once and brandished clubs.

“Rant!”

The moment I hear Melissa screaming my name.

Puck! Perpuck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

The goblin’s club hit my body.

Kiek?

What?

Caught up?

But you can’t hurt me with a goblin’s club.

Ayeek!

Chuck keke keek!

Kkeakkekekekekeke!

When the goblins saw me being unconcerned, they became even more indignant and continued to wield their clubs.

But after swinging it several times, my body wouldn’t budge.

“Look, Melissa, are you okay?”

“…Doesn’t it hurt?”

“Not at all. Melissa knows how strong I am.

“Uh…? Come to think of it, is that so?”

“I’ll probably be able to withstand most of the monsters’ attacks. Then, I’ll show you how to defeat them this time.”

I made a hammer bigger than the goblins’ holding with my manaweapon, and cut off the goblin’s skull one after another, feeling like I was catching a mole.

Pupper puffer puck!

The goblins hit in the head fell to the ground with their heads broken.

“What do you think?”

“Yeah, I knew very well that Rant wouldn’t worry at all if he went to the dungeon.”

I’m glad Melissa reassured me.

“Will Melissa stay in the dungeon? To be honest… It won’t feel good if she continues.”

Melissa also said she grew up in the same town as me and she never saw a goblin corpse.

However, since she doesn’t know if she’s an adventurer who makes a living hunting monsters, it won’t feel good to keep watching her cruel scenes, even if Melissa is a monster.

“… I want to go up to the second floor. Noah said.

“Ah…Then you said you wanted to see the dungeon…”

“I wanted to see what the second floor looked like. And… I was also curious about what kind of dungeon the four of us go to.”

“I see.”

Then let’s quickly show Melissa the scene on the second floor that impressed me too.

“Then let’s go quickly and see you!”

I released my mana weapon and picked Melissa up again.

“Kyaaak! Again… Are you going like this?”

“No?”

Melissa hugged my neck.

“…Great.”

I sped up a little more and ran towards the second floor.

◈

“We’ve arrived, Melissa. These are the stairs down to the second floor.”

“… Is it pitch black?”

“It looks like that from inside, but if you keep walking down, you’ll see the second floor.”

I went down the stairs with Melissa in my arms.

Thump thud

As we descended the stairs in the dark space, Melissa’s arms hugged my neck and gained more strength.

“It’s dark and scary…”

“Just wait a little longer.”

As I kept going down, I could feel the wind from the second floor rustling below.

“We’re almost there, Melissa.”

And a little further down, me and Melissa saw the sight of the second floor.

The gentle wind, the blue sky, the sparkling sun, and endless meadows.

It was the sight that made me want to come to Fledan and have an adventure with all my heart.

“Wow…”

Melissa, who was hugged by me, looked at the scene with her eyes wide open.

It was similar to Noah and Elsie’s expression when they first reached the second floor.

“How are you, Melissa?”

“It’s so… Pretty.”

“Is it not?”

I was happy that Melissa understood how I felt at the time.

Continuing down the stairs, I set Melissa down in the meadow on the second floor.

“It’s really strange. This is… This is where the cave used to be, right?”

“Isn’t it amazing? I was really surprised when I first saw it.”

“There…”

“Hey! There goes the slime!”

“Okay.”

“Yay!”

“Unlike the first floor, people look very normal.”

The slime catching adventurers on the second floor were catching slimes as if they were on a picnic.

“That’s right, slimes are much weaker than goblins, and unless they attack first, they don’t attack, so it’s not dangerous. Plus, magic stones are more expensive than goblins.”

Even if you kill fewer goblins, you can secure living expenses, so it’s much more relaxed.

“I see… If it’s a slime… Can I catch it too?”

“There will be. Do you want to catch it?”

“…Yes.”

“Then let’s go somewhere where there are no people.”

I picked Melissa up again.

“… Do I have to do this every time I move?

“But to move, this is faster.”

“There’s no danger here, right? I want to walk calmly.”

“Okay?”

I put Melissa down again and held out my hand.

“Then let’s walk.”

“…Yes.”

Melissa held my hand as she ran through her hair.

As if taking a walk, he held Melissa’s hand and walked away.

“Are you a Dungeon Crasher?”

“Are you on the second floor again?”

“Who’s the kid next to you?”

“Is this the first time you’ve seen him?”

All eyes were on us.

However, the adventurers focused on catching the slime again.

Even if you are interested, it is still morning time.

Since they did not finish their daily wages, they focused on hunting again to fill the daily wages.

After walking calmly for about 15 minutes, I didn’t see many adventurers around me.

“The wind… Feels good. I don’t think it’s a dungeon full of monsters at all.”

“Only the 2nd floor is special. On the other floors, if you walk a bit, monsters will come out and you have to continue fighting.”

“Isn’t it dangerous?”

“I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve never been in any danger. Besides, everyone else wants to party unless they’re exceptional.”

After walking for another five minutes, I stopped and looked around.

Just in time, I saw about 3 slimes that were perfect for hunting.

“Melissa, let’s hunt slime here. I’ll make you a weapon. Which weapon do you like?”

“Then… With the sword.”

“Okay. How long?”

“A normal sword will do.”

I made a sword that was easy for Melissa to hold with my Mana Weapon and handed it to Melissa.

“Ruler.”

“… Every time I look at it, Rant’s stuff is really amazing. Did you stay there after making this?”

“No, it disappears about 30 meters away from me.”

“Then it’s okay if Rant stays by your side?”

“Perhaps?”

It will disappear if you drop it more than 30 meters, but it will not disappear if you make it larger than 30 meters.

“Rather than that, Melissa, catch it quickly.”

“Yes.”

Melissa held her sword in both her hands and walked cautiously toward her slime.

“Yes, Rant. Is it true that you don’t attack first?”

“Really. See the core in the center of the slime and the magic stone next to it?

“Nukes and magic stones…”

Melissa stared at the slime, clutching her sword, but she didn’t swing it.

Even though she was also a slime, she seemed to be very nervous with her regular her, Melissa.

I quietly watched Melissa without prompting.

Melissa, who stared at the slime and started a war of nerves of her own, was also cute.

Maybe 3 minutes passed.

“Whoa… Yaaat!”

Melissa closed her eyes and swung her sword.

Whiik

But with her eyes closed, she couldn’t even brush the black slime she swung and just cut the grass.

“Ah…”

Whoa!

Melissa’s face turned red.

Cute.

“It’s okay, Melissa. Just open your eyes and swing this time. Anyone can make mistakes.”

“Yes…”

She seems to have gotten used to it after swinging it once, but this time Melissa was right in her stance her and was preparing to swing her.

“Whoa… Yaaat!”

Awesome!

Opening her eyes properly this time, Melissa swung at her slime.

Melissa’s sword hit her core her, slicing through the slime.

My create sound automatically jumped out and added sound effects to Melissa’s successful slash her.

The slime whose core was shattered by the sword melted away and disappeared leaving behind only the magic stone.

Clap clap clap

“Nice job, Melissa.”

“Huh…? Did you kill me?”

“Yeah. Are you good at one room?”

Melissa stared at her own trembling hand as she clutched her sword.

“Poem, I don’t really feel it. Ha, can I try it one more time?”

“As much as possible. It’s not dangerous, but if it seems dangerous, I’ll help you right away.”

“Yes.”

Melissa nodded and looked back at her slime her.

Without looking nervous this time, Melissa immediately swung her sword at the next slime.

Awesome!

This time, the magic stone was hit by Melissa’s sword, and her slime melted away leaving only the core behind.

“Eight!”

Awesome!

Melissa immediately grabbed her slime next to him as well.

“Whoa… Whoa…”

“How is Melissa?”

“I was a bit surprised that it was easier than I thought. But… I don’t want to continue. I guess I’m not an adventurer after all.”

Seeing that she had just swung in succession, I thought she would be able to do quite well, but there must be something like Melissa’s fatigue or disposition that I don’t know about.

“So? Then… What shall we do now? Shall we go back to the surface?”

Melissa shook her head.

“No, I want to stay here a little longer. Even if I don’t catch slime, I really like the scenery here.”

“Okay. Shall we go for a walk then?”

“Yeah. But there’s a strange noise when I’m ringing… Uh, Lant. What’s that on her shoulder?”

“This is one of my skills, called Create Sound. It’s a skill that makes a cool sound effect for a certain action. For example.”

I thrust my fist into the air.

Whoops!

“Like this.”

“… It’s a strange skill.”

“Isn’t it nice?”

“Very?”

I really liked Elsie and Noah…

Melissa’s reaction was not very good, which is a bit disappointing.

“Ah, but how does this sword disappear?”

“This is fine.”

Right!

Shuuuuung

I snapped my fingers and got rid of the mana weapon.

Of course, the disappearing sound effect was also created by Create Sound.

“Wow, it’s gone… Will it disappear if you snap your fingers?”

“It’s because the snapped fingers look cool.”

“Rant still has a bit of a kid side to him.”

“It’s always important to keep a pure heart, Melissa.”

“Pu-huh, what is that. Come on, Rant.”

Melissa reached out to me.

“Let’s go for a walk.”

“Yes.”

Holding Melissa’s hand tightly, I walked with Melissa to the second floor where the beautiful meadow spread out.

“I’m tired.”

But after about 20 minutes of walking, Melissa stopped.

“Already?”

“After catching the slime, I felt a bit down.”

It must have consumed his stamina because he was nervous while catching the slime.

“Then let’s rest for a while.”

Walking is good, but spending time sitting side by side in the meadow is a romantic development in its own way.

“Yes.”

Melissa then sat with her legs outstretched on the meadow.

Talk talk

“Come on, Rant.”

Melissa tapped her thigh and looked up at me.

This is an action that Miranda often did.

Her lap pillow OK sign.

I immediately laid my head on Melissa’s soft thighs her.

“Melissa’s thighs… They feel so soft.”

“Don’t tell me one by one.”

I looked up at the blue sky as I saved Melissa’s soft thighs for three minutes.

“…”

Whirik!

“Sueuuu… Haa… “

“… Rant. Why are you sniffing her while you bury your face in her thighs?”

“I want to smell Melissa’s fragrant scent of her… Wouldn’t it smell like grapes?”

“Transformation!”

Fuck!

Hit her head by Melissa.

Sorry.

But it was so nice to bury my face in her thighs and smell them.

Today’s dream play is decided by you!

『Should I use a naked lap pillow?』

Maid clothes please!
