Chapter 56 (2/2)

Brad had an eerie expression

“T, those lu around are a little creepy”

He backed away and was quivering Brad was also a coward A narcissistic coward…how bothersome

He was scared of the robotsobard, but they looked pretty cute to me

At any rate, there were tooden swords

Brad pointed the tip of the wooden sword at me

“Let's have a match, Baltfault!”

“Don't wanna It's cold”

Brad seemed annoyed and stamped his feet

However, he resu atso I decided to accept his proposition

Brad was pleased

“Well then, come on!”

Why are you so pleased with fighting in areas you're not good at? Are you stupid?”

“I have better classroo that aside, I'e you I'll definitely win!”

Brad prepared hi so, but he only had a decent stance when practicing

When I approached and swung, he quickly fell back and ruined his posture I couldn't sense any talent from him

“Hey, what's the matter?”

I kept swinging, and Brad kept shi+fting around

However, just once──Brad took a big step forward raised his left hand in order to swing He swung the sword diagonally fro my posture to falter

“──Woah!”

I think it was just simple carelessness

Brad got caught up in the moment and stepped closer

“If I just keep the pressure──ah!”

Since he carelessly stepped in, I shortened the distance and struck Brad on the head with the handle, causing him to fall to his knees

“It seems you really are stupid”

“D, darn, I thought I could do it”

I believed that he still had talent with a spear During the duel, he had been thrusting a sharp object

Brad got up and returned to inside the shi+p, perhaps done with his practice-swinging

“N, next time for sure”

I watched Brad, holding his hand against his head as he returned, while glancing at my wooden sword

It had been a long tis

I realized that I haven't been swinging by myself lately

“I haven't donepractice”

I had practiced quite a bit before leavingal to the academy

The reason being that I had been busy with a lot of things

Thefor e

Luxon once again appeared

[You see fun]

“You went through all the trouble to do so bothersome That robot with the wooden swords was you, wasn't it?”

[Indeed]

When I pointed the tip of the wooden sword at the night sky, I saw the stars shi+ning quite beautifully

“──It seeuys have a lot to think about as well”

Brad was an unexpectedly hard worker, but for some reason that made me just a little bit happy

There was a dungeon in the royal capital

Inside were Marie and Kyle, fully equipped

Kyle was carrying a heavy baggage on his back while co to Marie

“Let's just go hoerous”

Marie and Kyle traversed beyond a sign labeled “Keep Out”, and went down a pit

Marie, carrying a heavier baggage than Kyle, had lowered a rope into the pit while scolding Kyle with a bloodcurdling expression

“Don't give up! Our future lies ahead of here──a prolory awaits”

Kyle grumbled

“I wish that we could have brought along everyone, though Thetoo”

As he was saying that, so creeped out from the bottom of the pit

A large, lizard-like e mouth and climbed a wall

It clutched onto the wall using suckers attached to its hands and approached closer to Marie

“So came ouuut!”

As Kyle screae

“Don't underestimate meeee!”

She threw the grenade into its largeit, causing dark smoke to appear

That explosion caused the wind to roar, violently shaking the rope

Marie grasped the rope tightly, calling out to Kyle

“Kyle, hold on tight!”

“I want to go home already!”

Marie and Kyle descended down the rope until reaching the bottom of the hole

Kyle sat dohen finally reaching the floor and seemed like he was about to cry

While cautious of her surroundings, Marie lowered her heavy luggage and took out some tools

(Alright I can do this I have the proper knowledge for everything up to here)

In the gath up until the mid-way

She knew that there was a hidden item inside the area labeled “Keep Out”

(If I can retrieve that──I can break free of this current situation)

Livia's face popped up in her mind

(Right She'll bestone to happiness)

Tackling the depths of a dungeon with only two people was a reckless action

She kept silent about it from Julian and the others since they seemed to be busy

There was one other reason as well

(I thought that Olivia wouldn't be able to do anything, but I can't be careless when that mob is by her side If I don't retrieve what I need as soon as possible, Ibeaten to the punch)

After a certain matter at the school festival, Marie ary of Leon Perhaps it was foolish, but her intuition told her that mob wasn't the type to be careless

That boy was always by Olivia's side whenever she entered the dungeon It was possible that he was trying to retrieve that Such a possibility frightened Marie

Due to that, she couldn't wait for everyone to gather and went to retrieve it during the holiday

Even though it was irrational, Marie wanted to obtain it at any cost

As she was preparing a shotgun, she spoke to Kyle, as still sitting down

“Let's go, Kyle”

As Kyle got up reluctantly, he carried his heavy baggage onto his back and held a lantern in one hand It lit up the pathway for Marie

“What is there ahead?”

“Follow along and you'll see When we get there, be relieved We can say goodbye to our life's troubles”

Even though Kyle's face brightened when he heard that he was going to be free of his troubles, he soon shook his head and made a complaint towards Marie

“Wait, can we get back home safely before that?”

Marie walked forith her shotgun ready

She had a serious expression and was full of determination

“Anyways, I'rab the treasure that's just ahead Our life is at stake here”

All of this was in order to reach her ideal life

Marie advanced towards the dungeon's depths with Kyle
