Part 2

Since they had warmed up their bodies quite a bit, they decided to move.

Relying on the flow of air, they continued further into the dungeon.

For there to be a flow of air in a cave, it was proof that they would come out further in. At the very least, it probably wasn’t a dead end.

──To think I would be stranded in the dungeon that I made myself.

A small hole that went further inside stretched out from the waterfall lake.

Diablo only had his pants and his pouch on his back.

Also, there wasn’t much meaning to it but, he held the 《Trial-Made Great War Scythe》 in his hand. Its appearance was that of a strong-looking War Scythe, but its performance was really bad. It was a weapon he sued for the sake of going easy on individual people.

Horun was pretty much nude.

She only had her pouch belt and her arm and leg armor on her. Since she was a Grasswalker, although she looked like a child, she wasn’t a child but……Being in a state where her flat-chested body having only equipment on is, an extremely maniac idea.

If she at least had some pants on……No, since she was a girl, she should also have a shirt on.

A situation where a large top half naked man walking along with a mostly naked little girl, was perfectly a court case.

──If I knew that she was a woman, I wouldn’t have burned her clothes though.

He reflexively asked a question.

「Why did you pose as a man?」

With a twitch, Horun made a frightened looking face.

「Th, that is……」

「If you do not want to say it, I do not mind though.」

Was she in an anxious mood? She became increasingly frightened.

「Um……”I” (uchi)……was born in a town different from Zircon Tower City which is in the former Demon King territory but……I immediately got separated from both of my parents -su」

「Hou?」

Horun forcibly stopped saying “I” (ore).

「Well, in truth, I might have been abandoned though but……When I realized it, it ended up being just me and two little sisters……」

「I see.」

The former Demon King territory was a land where even just living was difficult. Raising three children there must have had many hardships to it.

「That’s why, although I don’t know whether our parents are alive or dead……But we were lucky. We were immediately picked up by Shishou after all -ssu kara.」

「Was it a Seeker Shishou?」

Horun set her gaze on further ahead in the cave.

「Nn～……It’s dark -ssu ne.」

「That is not a problem. 《Light》」

He cast magic on a small stone that he picked up. When he used it in their room at the inn before, he couldn’t turn it off──Since there was that kind of problem, he tried coming up with a way to solve that.
