New chapter of Let’s Create a Dungeon is out! (5/12 chapters)
The Troublesome Damn Elf
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
After several battles with golems, Leon and the others had reached the fifth floor of the tower.
This certainly feels like an artificial dungeon… but I can’t believe it was built in just a few weeks.
Various tricks and regularities could be seen in the structure and traps within the tower, making it clearly different from a natural dungeon. In the first place, dungeons are typically formed gradually over a long period of time through massive amounts of mana. Even if each floor wasn’t that large, constructing such a building in just a few weeks would not be possible for an ordinary practitioner.
It was at that moment…
“Gyahhhh! Help meeeeee!” (??)
A scream like that echoed from far away, and Leon exchanged glances with Filia. The only ones in this tower should be Leon and his companions. If there were any exceptions…
“Let’s go take a look.” (Leon)
“Yeah.” (Filia)
Kicking off the ground, they ran toward the direction of the voice. Then, they found a young woman suspended in the air. Two ropes extended from the ceiling, each wrapped around one of her legs, lifting her up in that state. Her legs were being pulled apart to the sides, spreading them wide in a rather embarrassing posture. She had probably triggered a trap. What was approaching her was a giant scythe spinning at high speed. It was positioned at a height that would cut right through her neck.
“Don’t come! I don’t want to die yet! Please, God, save meeeeee!” (??)
The mysterious woman cried out tearfully in a pleading scream. However, perhaps driven to despair by the scythe mercilessly approaching her,
“Damn it, Goddddd! Hurry up and save me, damn itttt! A super-gorgeous beauty like me dying in a place like this would be a loss for the world, you know!? And while you’re at it, hand over some treasure toooo!” (??)
Leon hesitated for a moment on whether to save her, but decided he couldn’t just ignore it. Though there was still more than a hundred meters of distance, he crossed it in practically a single step and cut the ropes restraining her.
“!?” (??)
Suddenly freed, she fell to the ground. However, with fairly good reflexes, she managed to take a defensive landing.
“I-I’m saved…? Fufufu, as expected, even God couldn’t ignore the world’s number one beauty like me!” (??)
She seemed to be quite a delusional woman. As Leon looked at her with half-lidded eyes, she finally seemed to notice and said…
“Uwah!? Hey, you scared me all of a sudden! Wait, what’s a kid doing in a place like this? Hah, could it be you’re the one who saved me?” (??)
“…Yeah.” (Leon)
“So, it was you! Thank you! Well, not that I needed anyone’s help, I could’ve handled it on my own, though!” (??)
It didn’t look that way at all. She seemed to be a boastful woman.
“As thanks, I’ll give you some pocket money. It’s rare for me to give anything to someone, so be grateful.” (??)
Saying that, she handed him a single copper coin. She appeared to be a stingy woman.
“Oh, right, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Mina! Known as the overly beautiful, strongest treasure hunter! You may call me Mina-sama with due reverence.” (Mina)
She looked to be around 17 or 18. Whether she was overly beautiful or not was unclear, but her features were certainly well-proportioned. However, more than that, her speech and behavior exuded a constant sense of disappointment.
“By the way, are you a treasure hunter too? I’m surprised you made it in here. But that’s thanks to me. After all, I stole the key from the elves and opened the entrance for you!” (Mina)
It seemed she was indeed an intruder. She freely spilled everything herself. She seemed to be a careless woman.
“But up to this point, it’s just been golems and traps, not a single piece of treasure! I had high hopes! What a boring tomb!” (Mina)
“Oh? May I take that as an insult to our great hero?” (Filia)
Before they knew it, Filia had come quite close. With the unauthorized intrusion into the tomb of the Elven hero and the blatant insults added on top of it, a vein had risen on her elegant face.
“An E-Elf!?” (Mina)
“Yeah. She’s an Elf. She’s also the captain of the knights who protect this city.” (Leon)
“Wha-wha-what is she doing here!?” (Mina)
“That’s my line, you thief!” (Filia)
Filia raised her voice in anger. The woman who had introduced herself as Mina, for some reason, glared at Leon.
“Weren’t you a treasure hunter!? You tricked me!” (Mina)
“I think you just misunderstood on your own.” (Leon)
“Give me back my pocket money!” (Mina)
It was only a single copper coin, but Leon was astonished at how greedy she could be.
“Hey, right now I’m the one talking—” (Filia)
“And now that I’ve caught you off guard, time to make my escape!” (Mina)
Suddenly turning on her heel, Mina started running at full speed. As expected of a treasure hunter or rather a thief, she was fast.
“You scoundrel!” (Filia)
“Ahahaha! Catch me if you can! Mina-sama is not only beautiful but also incredibly fast—gyah!?” (Mina)
Her figure vanished with a filthy scream. When they went to the spot, they found her barely clinging on inside a hole. Apparently, a pitfall trap had been set there. The bottom of the hole was filled with a liquid of a poisonous-looking color.
“To think that someone like me would fall into another trap!” (Mina)
“…Shall I just kick you down into the liquid as you are?” (Filia)
“Wait!? Th-that was a joke! A joke, okay!? So, please don’t step on my head!” (Mina)
“Are you reflecting on your actions?” (Filia)
“I am! I’m seriously reflecting! I won’t badmouth anyone again! I won’t try to run either!” (Mina)
“Hard to believe. Speak your apology from the heart.” (Filia)
…Damn troublesome Elf. (Mina)
“Did you say something?” (Filia)
“I didn’t say anything! I’m really sorryyyy!” (Mina)
