Chapter 6 (1/2)

Chapter 6 – The Elf Girl Became My Companion!

「Have you possibly come here solo? Until now, the highest record was the 34th floor, unbelieavable」

「You who defeated the 50th floor’s boss in one hit is more unbelievable」

The girl instantly retorts.

But, possibly because the ashes got into her mouth, she’s cutely coughing. Her watery eyes are cute.

「I defeated all up until now in one hit, you know?」

「Wha…… just who are you……?」

「Ah!」

I realize something serious.

「Those ears, are you an elf by any chance?」

A sharp, pointed ears are extending from her beautiful blonde hair.

「Eh? Ah, yes, I’m, but……」

「Uoooooh!」

I unconsciously shout.

To think I would find the centerpiece race of fantasy in such a place!

No wonder she’s super bishoujo.

「Would you allow me to touch your ears for a little bit?」

「Dame desu」

Instant rejection.

s.h.i.+t, even though touching elf ears is my dream!

「Don’t say that. Just a little is alright」

「Dame desu」

「Just the tip, just the tip」

「D, don’t speak so indecently」

Her face got red. Cute.

「R, rather than that, have you also come to capture this dungeon?」

「Yes. It’s my first time challenging, though」

「So you abruptly came all the way here? …… M, maa, I’m somewhat convinced after witnessing your strength earlier……」

Then, the girl frowns while thinking about something, but she eventually says with determination,

「My name is Tira. I’ve been trying to capture this dungeon for a while now…… If possible, won’t you make a party with me for a while?」

「Alright」

I quickly nod.

The elf girl who didn’t express such anticlimactic answer――Tira, lets out「Eh?」with a dumbfounded expression. Cute.

「I mean, we have the same goal, right? I was quite bored all by myself」

「Bored……」

Tira makes an expression that says she doesn’t believe my words.

「By the way, I’m Karuna. Best regards」

「Ah, yes. Please take care of me」

Like this, Tira became my companion.

「Then, as sign of our new friends.h.i.+p, your ears」

「Dame desu」

Her guard is too high!

「I have previously gone up to the 40th floor by myself. However, I wasn’t able to defeat the boss that time…… I was able to get my revenge on the 40th floor’s boss this time, but I wasn’t able to defeat the 50th floor’s boss……」

「So I saved you there」

「…… I think I would be able to defeat it even if you didn’t save me」
