Chapter 74: I thought I was gonna die of laughter...

When I tried to go with the group, Selen stopped me.

Why not? Come on, Selen, just this once let me go into the dungeon.

Do you want me to tell you a story of a dead man?

T-thats a story of a man who didnt prepare and recklessly went deeper into the dungeon, right?

That was my rebuttal to Selens threat.

Listen, Luke, even careful and seasoned adventurers can fall in a dungeon. On top of that, weve just discovered this dungeon, meaning we dont know anything about it, especially the dangers it has. So, at least for now, please just wait in the village.

I think youre being a tad overprotective

I would be turning 13 this spring. By that age, Selen had already experienced her first real battle.

When I told her that though

It was alright for me because my Gift is suited for combat; I can fend for myself. You, on the other hand, will need others to protect you.

Idont have anything to say to that.

In the end, Selen won the argument and I decided to stay in the village.

not!

I was expecting this to happen, so I prepared a secret plan. While pretending to give up, I stealthily put that plan into action.

Selens group once again arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.

This time though, they were prepared. They have carefully selected the few members that would go in, have the necessary tools for dungeon exploration, and even have the elves potions on hand in case of emergencies.

Everything seems to be ready. Kamuru, are you alright?

Y-y-y-y-y-yes

More and more, it appeared to them that Goate wasnt great at lying.

Hmm, yeah, a bag of food isnt worth that much effort to check.

E-exactly. Phew

Got ya!

Ahh!

After making Goate drop his guard down, Selen suddenly closed the distance and grabbed the bag he was carrying. While holding on, she began rubbing it for some reason.

! Ah, wai! Ahahaaha! Ahahahahahaha!

When she did so, laughter came from within, startling everyone.

Did a voice just come from the bag!?

W-whos inside!?

I feel like Ive heard that voice before

Some asked so while the laughing continued.

SeSelen! That tickles! Ahahahaha!

Thats weird. Provision shouldnt mind what Im doing, right?

Alright, alright, I get it! Stop already! Ahahahahahahahahaha!

Then come out right now.

When Selen stopped, a young manwho recognized he couldnt keep hiding anymoreemerged from the bag.

Haa, haa I thought I was gonna die of laughter

Village Chief!?
