Volume 2 - CH 2

A few weeks had passed since that day – the day I was placed in the custody of the Adventurers’ Guild of North Folia. During that time, Cyclo had been treated so badly that he had become completely emaciated.

He was unable to eat properly, and his physical strength was deteriorating.

But the work was getting tougher and tougher.

If he made mistakes or did not perform well, he would be mistreated.

As a result of these days, Cyclo’s heart was already worn out.

He thought that he would probably be used up here, treated like a rag, and eventually die.

He no longer had time to think about anything else, and just vaguely went about his work, doing as he was told by the guild and adventurers.

And then, the adventurers became even more irritated when they saw Cyclo reacting in such an uninteresting manner.

“Keh, he’s so boring!”

Unreasonable anger builds up, and their atrocity towards Cyclo increase.

Because it’s that kind of situation, it is no surprise that incidents and accidents occur.

“Well …… then, I’ve got an interesting idea.”

Then one of the adventurers says so and turns to Cyclo.

“Hey, baggage carrier! Put the baggage down and come over here!”

“…… yes.”

Cyclo does as he is told, puts down the baggage once and heads in the direction the adventurers call him.

“Hey, look at him. I’ve never seen anyone like you before. This is the valley that leads to the abyss of the ‘Worst Dungeon’ in the world.”

Cyclo does as the adventurer asks and looks in the direction he is pointed.

There – just as the adventurer had said – was an endless, deep, deep valley with no bottom in sight.

In fact, as the adventurer said, this valley is the deepest of all dungeons, and only a very skilled adventurer could reach this far.

So, although Cyclo had accompanied the adventurers as a baggage carrier many times in the past, this was the first time he had ever seen a valley this deep.

“–Look, I’ll show you well!”

Then, just as the cyclo approached, the adventurer grabbed him by his clothes and shoved him hard toward the valley.

“Uwaaaaaaahhhh!?”

“Gahahaha! Look, you better take a closer look!”

Holding onto his clothes, the adventurer continues to push Cyclo. Terrified that he was about to fall, Cyclo showed emotion for the first time that day.

“No, please stop! Please!”

“Aah? What is?”

“If I fall like this, I’ll die!”

“Gahaha! Of course, you’re going to die! You’re hilarious!”

The adventurers laugh at the panicked and frightened Cyclo. Not only the man who is pushing Cyclo into the valley, but also the other adventurers are laughing at him.

And just when Cyclo was about to close his heart even further out of a sense of despair.

A strange sound echoed through the air.

“–Huh?”

Cyclo felt his body being released from gravity.

He looked closely and saw that the adventurer was holding onto a piece of his clothing.

""

Then he realized that because of the tear in his clothes, he was beginning to fall to the bottom of the valley.

“–UWAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

Screaming, Cyclo falls continuously.

The adventurers looked at Cyclo with a look that said, “We’ve done it”.

–The adventurers quickly regained their composure.

“He was so scared that he ran away on his own and fell off his feet. You’re okay with that, right?”

Someone muttered these words in a whisper, and everyone nodded in agreement.

And so the group of adventurers returned from the dungeon.

(T/N: Alright, it is finally starting.)
