Chapter 106

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

The guild remained closed, guarded by armed police officers. I was astonished by the unfamiliar scene. And there were also some people protesting. They were likely individuals who had stored their equipment at the guild. Without the guild reopening, they could not retrieve it. This included Sofia’s armor and my sword. Emilia’s arm guards and spear had also been deposited, forcing a halt to her activities.

Mira was devising a plan to resume operations. She was constantly consulting with Haruka-kun on how to capture the police in front of the guild in footage. Fortunately, I had a spare knife, and my armor I carried back as clothing. Thus, there was little impediment to solo activity. I ventured into the dungeon again today.

Upon entering the dungeon, a sense of unease immediately settled over me.

“Come with us! We know a great hunting spot!” (Unknown Female)

“It’s fine, it’s fine! If it gets dangerous, we’ll protect you.” (Unknown Male)

“Come on, let’s go, okay?” (Unknown Male)

It was an unexpected attempt at flirtation. Of course, it was not directed at me. The group consisted of highly motivated women, about college age, determined to enter the dungeon despite the current conditions. Though the woman seemed thoroughly annoyed, the men persisted in their advances.

“Ah! Kouta-san, right? I watched your video! Can I have a handshake?” (Unknown Female)

Seemingly, this woman chose me as a buffer to fend off the men. I had no choice but to shake her hand.

“Please continue supporting me.” (Unknown Female)

I greeted her as politely as I could. Unsurprisingly, the men were displeased.

“Hey! What are you doing showing up now?” (Unknown Male)

“…No, this guy is bad news, hey.” (Unknown Male)

“Hey, let’s go! Stop him!” (Unknown Male)

The leading man tried to approach me, but the others restrained him, and they hurried away. However, one remained.

“Don’t get cocky, you bastard…” (Numata)

It was Numata. With only those words, he pursued the others.

“Thanks. You’re strong, huh? How about coming along with Onee-san from now on?” (Unknown Female)

“Ah, no, I will pass.” (Kouta)

“You have such a cute girlfriend! Too bad. But if you ever feel like it, say hello. I might be a burden, but I am doing my best, you know?” (Unknown Female)

No, she is not actually my girlfriend. I like her, but I cannot keep up with her in many ways, so not yet.

“Yes, I know. I occasionally see you in the dungeon.” (Kouta)

She usually traveled with a few people, but today, she seemed to be alone.

“Hehe… that makes me happy. Ah! I am Rena Shiraishi! Nice to meet you!” (Unknown Female)

“Ah, I… ‘I know! You’re famous, that’s why I spoke to you. Oh, I should not disturb you! See you!’” (Kouta)

The Onee-san waved and ran toward the dungeon. She was energetic. I recalled Emilia and felt a slight pang of loneliness.

At first, entering the dungeon solo had been the norm. With the guild closed, there was no need to hunt with cashing in mind. Excessive drops would only pose storage problems. If placed in my apartment room, they would quickly occupy all the space, leaving it worse than a rabbit hutch. Thus, I challenged the ‘Goblin Settlement’ for the first time in several days.

My target was the same as before, the ‘Goblin Mage’. I was honestly concerned about individual differences. Even mages could display such unserious demeanors? This would be a major consideration for future exploration.

Monsters appearing in the dungeon each had their own personalities.
