“Oh, it’s showing up already.” (Harold)

A beast appeared before us.

It was one of the three raid bosses from the year-end exam event in Enhaz, the Two-Headed Magical Beast Orthros.

“This is a good start.” (Harold)

“W-What do you mean?” (Ulysses)

“Listen. Among the three beasts we have to defeat in this dungeon, the Two-Headed Beast Orthros is not particularly troublesome since its attacks are straightforward. For Uly and Liliana, who lack real combat experience, it’s a perfect opponent to learn from.” (Harold)

The other two beasts possess special skills and are far more challenging. With Orthros, which relies mainly on physical skills, I can ensure our safety by defending properly and defeating it without much risk. More importantly, this will serve as a trial for their future life at the academy.

“That’s why I’m sorry, but could I ask you to simply observe this time?” (Harold)

“Understood.” (Marion)

If Marion were to carelessly participate in the battle and endanger the other two, it would be disastrous. By having her observe from a specific position where I can keep her in view at all times, I can manage any issues.

“Alright, I’ll draw Orthros’s attention first. Then, when there’s an opening, you two attack.” (Harold)

“Got it!” (Ulysses)

“Leave it to me!” (Liliana)

I readied the Jet Black Shield Casparleague and faced Orthros.

“Hey, over here, mutt! You’re no match for us!” (Harold)

“Graaaaaaahhhh!” (Orthros)

Apparently, Orthros could understand human speech.

Well, if Cas can speak human words, it’s not surprising that Orthros has that level of intelligence.

“Oops. Attacks like that won’t work on us.” (Harold)

I blocked Orthros’s rage-filled attacks while taunting it to draw its attention further.

Given how easily it reacts to provocation, its intelligence doesn’t seem that impressive after all. Compared to my partner, this beast is in a completely different league.

“Of course! Because I’m Haru’s partner, after all!” (Casparleague)

“Yeah, you’re right.” (Harold)

Ah… I ended up talking to myself again. I’ve been trying to fix this habit, but it’s not improving at all. Well, as long as it’s not bad-mouthing someone, it’s fine, I guess.

“Alright… Uly! Liliana! Now’s your chance!” (Harold)

“Okay! [Ice Bullet]!” (Ulysses)

“[Brave Heart]! [Brave Heart]! [Brave Heart]! [Brave Heart]! And one more [Brave Heart]! And then, take this!” (Liliana)

“Gyahhh!” (Orthros)

Uly’s water-based skill, [Ice Bullet], struck one of Orthros’s two heads, causing it to flinch. Seizing the opportunity, Liliana repeatedly boosted her abilities with [Brave Heart] and then unleashed a powerful punch on Orthros’s abdomen. Orthros was sent flying, crashed into the dungeon wall, and collapsed to the floor, silent.

Ah, yeah. As expected of the protagonist of Galhaz. That was complete overkill.

“Alright! We took it down safely!” (Harold)

“Yay!” (Ulysses)

“Meat! Meat!” (Liliana)

Uly and Liliana were overjoyed at their first combat victory. However, Liliana seemed a bit odd. She was probably serious about wanting to eat Orthros.

“Now that we’ve obtained Orthros’s fang as proof of its defeat, let’s move on. The remaining two beasts won’t be as easy, so don’t let your guard down.” (Harold)

I reminded them firmly before leading everyone deeper into the dungeon. Liliana kept glancing back at Orthros, looking regretful, but I wished she would just give up already.

More than that…

“…” (Marion)

I couldn’t stop worrying about Marion, who had remained silent the entire time. Given everything that had happened so far, it was hard to believe this woman would stay quiet.

When we first met, she underestimated me, the ‘incompetent bratty prince’, and was forced by Wilfred to switch her allegiance to him. After that, she entered a ‘romantic state’ with him, wielding the UR weapon “Battle Axe Skydrive” to challenge Xandra.

Even now, she followed Wilfred loyally.

That’s exactly why…

“…You’re such a fool.” (Harold)

I muttered quietly.

Even if she follows someone like him… even if she falls for someone like him, she’ll never find happiness. Of course, I would never forgive Marion for trying to kill Xandra, nor would I try to get along with her. I just couldn’t help but feel frustrated that one of Enhaz’s heroines, whom I had loved, was heading toward misfortune… That’s all.

“Haru-kun?” (Ulysses)

Before I knew it, Uly was peering into my face.

“Ah, no… it’s nothing. Let’s hurry up a bit.” (Harold)

“Ah! Wait for me!” (Ulysses)

Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I quickened my pace through the dungeon.
