Volume 1 Chapter 5 part3

The group Julian was leading was essentially one that was in thebehind the one in front

There was also group behind him, so Julian and his teammates were protected from the front and back

However, eon and its complicated branched paths

There were also dangerous moments when traps appeared

They advanced through the floors in the dungeon

Though it's the first and second floors, they could die if they let their mind wander

Julian broke into a cold sweat froeon and combat experience

Next to hi Julian

The normally rude and chatty Brad had clao of his sword's hilt due to the tension

Greg was the only one accusto that there was noa venture of this level, seemed to be leisurely

Julian paid attention to the woman behind him──Marie

“No proble at?”

Marie shtly clumsy speech

“It's fine, your Highness”

For Julian, Marie was a girl who gave a fresh impression, the type that nobody in the royal palace had

Listening to the stories of her hardshi+ps stirred up his desire to protect her

The biggest reason for that was their encounter, though

Marie appeared when Julian was alone, since so and bothersory

He never experienced a girl of the saot a little rough, slapped him, and scolded him like she was his mother

That left Julian with both an impression of surprise and freshness, and he couldn't help but pay attention to Marie afterwards

“If there's anything you'd like me to know, then feel free to speak out”

“Alright”

Marie's s the two like that

“I'hness the crown prince than about Marie Those raised in the royal palace are weak against feudal lord nobles, like Marie, who are -willed than they seem”

Chris tightened his gaze in response to those words

“…You have some nerve for a wild bu ihness”

Jilk soon intervened

“You're too serious as well, Chris We're students of the acades is unnecessary”

Greg h

“Apologies However, if you think hard enough, you'll reant My bad”

The person he was referring to soon realized what he was saying

A vein appeared on Brad's forehead

“A th Marie, you'll face trouble if you marry a man like that”

Greg talked back while Marie made a bitter smile

“Hey, stop lying! Marie, a woman who comes over to my place won't face any trouble If you becoet tired of his meticulous personality If you coetting sick of the formal life of nobles as well?”

It see to clear up awith Marie

The teast Julian and the others

There were groups that were defending Julian, and ast them stood Anjelica

They were a noisy group

However, theimmediately readied the spear in his hands

“…Hey, everyone be alert We've got giant ants”

All members held up their weapons in a panic

They were in a dungeon It would especially frightening to use guns in this passage since it could lead to friendly fire

For that reason, one is not supposed to rely on guns

Jilk and the girls have a handgun for self-defense, but the boys are not allowed to carry firearms

Greg got slightly impatient

“There's…six of the to come out from that side road”

A slightly irritated Brad criticized the other groups

“You groups in the front, what are you doing?!”

Chris drew his sword in silence

Then, he took an elegant posture

“If they're co to cross paths with the group in the front At any rate, six of thehness, please step back”

However, Julian took a lance at Marie, stepped forward, and took out his sword

(As if I'll let her see such a shameful display of myself here)

Greg whistled

“How nice, your Highness You're part of the royalty, for sure”

While being surprised by Julian taking a fighting stance, Jilk took out his handgun Jilk was exceptional at handling s a boy, he was allowed to possess one

Anjelica was in the back

“What are you doing! Defend his Highness!”

There were two pairs of six people that were protecting Julian and the others They were supposed to be the opponents of the monsters

However, Greg shouted

“Move back!”

Wielding his spear that had an ornament attached which was the sa leaped forward, pushed aside the guarding students, and swung his weapon down to strike a target

While a squashed giant ant rapped in black s

When he raised his spear, one of them had already been bisected by a slash, while the other was roasted in flames

When he looked, it turned out that Chris, wielding his sword, had entered the scene

“Your movements are unwieldy”

Behind hiic

“You really are a meathead I could defeat three of them at the same time if you weren't in the way”
