Chapter 226 – Dungeon Distress -4-

Lunchtime waiting for the cadets of Lofty Academy to cool off their overheated heads.

Naturally, when the three of them got together, it was Seria who opened the door to the conversation.

“Last time, I learned to cook from my older sister. I feel like I can manage my meals even if I live an adventure later.”

A saga about how she succeeded in slicing carrots with her longsword a while ago and admired her older sister.

Delicate hand technique that cleanly slices only appetizing carrots and leaves no scratches on the cutting board.

There is nothing strange about pulling out an aura right away, it’s the growth of brilliant swordsmanship.

“I must have been shocked, not amazed…”

As Lyke spoke her words, Seria let her know her own growth.

“Adventurers say it’s more tasteful to use a short or long sword than a kitchen knife? Are there any adventurers who carry a kitchen knife? This is also a pre-practice for the future.”

Seria, who was exhausting herself from the unstoppable pace of growth.

Rike’s short words didn’t return, so she stopped talking and rolled her lively green eyes.

“Is everyone listening…?”

“”···.””

The food is right in front of her nose, but Seria is the only one who makes the noise of talking and eating utensils.

She was in a place where the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Seria knows the reason for her sagging mood, though she has been putting up with her words all along.

“The instructor said he would come once a week…!! They’re both really crazy!”

Eventually she couldn’t stand it and her words burst out.

There is no answer.

“…”

Chloe’s blue eyes usually respond reflexively with a smile when she speaks.

She was not a lantern lantern, but withered and half-dead.

Rike is still expressionless and silent without any major changes.

But for Seria, she has the ability to subconsciously catch the slightest change that has happened to Rike.

‘How have you been with the instructor, so everything is like this?’

It is understandable and understandable if you think that Chloe is originally the best girl in Jericho Academy.

But since she seems to have a lot of thoughts, even Rike, I want to know what her relationship with the opposite sex is.

Just what I feel when I look at it now.

‘Love catches people!’

When the feeling of love covers her eyes, she says there is no answer no matter what she does around her.

It feels like I stole it through a gap.

Seria herself cherishes her older sister the most in the world. When she leaves her request like now, she stays in the dormitory and feels lonely.

This is because she has a different texture, so I was careful to even bring out words of encouragement or comfort from her.

‘By the way… Did Chloe’s house allow us to live together now? Or the 5 Knights?’

I’ve even heard that she lives with her instructor at the mansion.

But.

Seria doesn’t know her relationship that she was involved with Roman until Eclair.

A situation where only Ricke and Chloe are aware that they are staying with her instructor.

“Heyying… Older brother…”

Chloe, who has always maintained her upright posture, is about to melt like sun-beaten ice cream.

Seria, who was in a position opposite to the last time, held on to Chloe, who had become mushy, so that she would not spill out.

Since Seria is frantically rehearsing.

“Umm~”

Rike, who lost her energy and her impression softened, left the cooled milk tea.

He looked out the window and took a long breath.

“What’s the matter?”

Seria, who had been embracing her saggy Chloe, turned her attention to Rike this time.

“Just. Suddenly… I got a strange feeling.”

Judging from the condition of Ricke and Chloe, it won’t be easy until the sinful instructor returns.

Seria was vaguely aware.

“Stop talking weird. Both of you, eat first!”

*****

‘It’s the first time I’ve seen her up close…’

Alice’s heart was beating with a different feeling than before.

Even though Alice’s job is an adventurer.

Even though she has been living a job that is openly about her desires and proud of her roughness.

Whether or not she had experience with men was a separate story.

‘She knew that there were individual differences…’

When she sits in a tavern, even if she doesn’t want to hear it, what she hears is obscene talk.

We know that male genitalia differs from person to person just like the size of a woman’s breasts.

In the first place, each person’s limb length is different from the height they were born with.

She doesn’t have to think deeply, but there will of course be differences in the invisible parts of her…

The size she had just recognized with her eyes and imprinted on her head was even frightening to Alice, who had no experience with her.

“It’s done now.”

Alice turned her head at her plaintive voice.

“Yes···.”

A piece of wet cloth was scattered on the floor.

Her black hair was moist and wet, but her outfit itself was an adventurer ready for the request.

It was obviously me.

Where did you get the clothes from?

She doesn’t know where the potion she was fed or the holy water she sprinkled came from.

Just.

The pinnacle of adventurers as many as stars.

When I thought of it as ‘platinum’, I was able to understand it without deep doubt.

Roman, who was scratching the head of her sheep trying to blow off the awkward atmosphere, smiled and changed the subject.

“Since I showed you something I shouldn’t have seen. Shall I treat you to a meal as an apology?”

“…!”

As she ate something, saliva naturally formed in her mouth.

“If you starve and eat in a hurry or eat something stimulating, no matter how strong your stomach is, you’ll get sick. You have to eat carefully.”

Dalgrak!

In her empty hand, something magically bubbled up.

Beyond clothes, various items such as canteens and where fresh food ingredients come from.

I decided not to have any doubts.

‘It must be a skill…’

It could be an act of inciting hostility to the benefactor, so I just kept silent and waited.

“What would you like to put in? Is there anything you can’t eat?”

With Alice shaking her head, she said that she would make it in moderation.

The flame soars in the round magic tool, and the canteen goes up on top, and water and simple ingredients are poured into it.

A booming sound that can be heard quickly with strong firepower.

After a while, Roman handed Alice her bowl after confirming that the chopped vegetables were cooked to the point of being muddy.

“Don’t eat in haste. I’ll give you more when you finish, so eat slowly.”

Alice, who received less than half of the watery soup in her bowl, bowed her head while sitting down.

“Thank you··.”

Alice supported her bowl with both hands and slowly drank the broth.

‘It’s warm…’

If you eat slowly, the temperature is comfortable for your throat.

Even a soup that is barely seasoned and has a bland taste.

It felt so delicious that it was by far the best thing Alice had ever eaten.

As I emptied the tantalizing bowls one after another while munching my small mouth, my stomach felt warm.

His eyes turned to the benefactor, who was chewing on beef jerky with his back against the wall.

“Ah, adventurer…”

“Why?”

“I wonder if the adventurer-sama came this far…”

In response to Alice’s voice, which became more uncertain as she went further back, Roman first informed her of the reality.

“It’s a coincidence. It’s not a request, it’s a personal matter.”

“Once again… Thank you very much.”

Okay. It’s hard to believe, but of course it is. In the first place, the rescue request is not a penny or two.

Moving platinum to get a gold grade that is not hard to find in the capital is an unrealistic story.

Plus, even if your parents hear the news and move.

It would be an outrageous price that would be impossible even if all of Edelman’s property was disposed of.

In front of Alice, who has a complicated expression with various emotions that come along with relief.

After a simple meal, Roman sat down.

“Thank you. Let’s take a look at the bridge now.”

“Ah yes!”

A delicate touch that doesn’t feel the hypertrophy of the muscles.

Lift your leg up by gently supporting it under your hamstring with your large hand.

After checking her expression by moving her gaze, he lowered it very slowly and returned it to her place.

She said, making eye contact with her.

“I’ll just touch the outside.”

“Oops!”

When Roman raised her hand as if stroking her, Alice frowned at her.

“Hmm… It looks like you’ve avoided necrosis with the potion. If you go out, you’ll have to lie down in the church quite a bit.”

“Would your legs… Be okay…?!”

Alice’s eyes widened at the hopeful observation, and her tone of voice rose.

“I’m not an expert, so I can’t say for sure. But my senses are alive, so I don’t think I’ll have to amputate or anything like that if I go quickly?”

Even if I can’t assure you, there is a strong confidence that I feel from Platinum’s words.

The moment when I drank her potion might have been a really breathtaking line. Even then, she had barely felt any sensation, let alone any pain.

Alice, who had been assuming the worst with her head, relaxed.

In her head, a being appeared that might be worried about her.

“… Tero!”

At the sound of her Alice’s voice, wet mud gathered from her floor and a lizard with a sprout on her head manifested.

– Siik! Shiiyi!!

Terro hopped on her floor and clung to Alice’s face, sobbing.

“It’s nice.”

As Roman felt, it would be rare to see a contractor who was so happy with the spirit.

“Then would you like to wait here with Tero? I have to go inside.”

As she listened to her words, Alice’s eyes turned to the door that gave off a gloomy aura.

“It’s coming soon, so I’m resting here.”

Alice reached out and grabbed Roman’s pants, which she was about to get up and move.

“Ah… That…!”

…
…

The pain-free, unwavering footsteps seemed unmistakably uncomfortable.

Alice nailed her head down in her arms, apologizing with a reddened face.

“I’m sorry… I was forced to make no sense…”

If she had a bad heart, she would have thrown away the potions or rice in the first place.

Even though I know it’s not rational.

Wouldn’t it be abandoned? What if you don’t come back

The accumulated fear filled the worst number in my head and did not let go.

Alice grabbed Roman and ended up asking her childlike favor.

“This is also an exercise to keep your balance. I’ll go inside and drop you off.

Looking at her cool smile, she might be saying something to reassure herself.

‘…Of course it must be a joke.’

Platinum has a poor center and pinches it. Where in the world is such a person?

– Whoosh!

Alice in arms. With a terro on her head.

Roman approached the door.

“Suck.”

I stick the soles of her shoes to her huge door and lightly brace her legs.

Softly-

The door that started to open opened wide with strength with my feet.

She gently slipped her body through the gap before it closed.

Cooong!

The heavy door slams shut creating a musty wind of dust.

Alice could understand the reason for the gloomy energy flowing out there.
