418 Lesson five.

"- Is there a problem too?

Because the man's words and expression do not match, he stops the leg he tried to leave and Ethereum asks the question.

"... oh, thank you indeed. Thanks to you, this is all we can do about our damage. Fortunately, there were no deaths. But... why? Why are you here? I thought you were giving orders not to let anyone through.

Words express gratitude, but the man returns the question with an unconvincing look.

The man who was at the entrance is one of them. Ethereum also knew that because he was wearing matching armor.

And even though that he was at the entrance, here are the Ethereals.

The leader's man was thinking about what that meant.

"Oh, you sure were there. But dungeons are naturally occurring, right? Then there must be no reason for us to stop exploring and follow suit. So I've stunned you."

Aeta, who flaunted his shoulder, tells him that he did not kill the man.

But still, the leader's man does not quit staring at the Ethereals.

"I see, can you say that there is a nonsense on this side about not letting it pass in a dungeon that is certainly something of nature. Well, let's also thank him for not killing him - but we can't let him disturb our purpose."

That being said, the man puts his hand on the sword of his hips. My men look anxiously at their bosses heading toward Ethereal Tai, who have shown an overwhelming battle earlier.

"... you gonna do it?

Aeta doesn't show a moving sleigh to the man in the leader who is about to sign up for the fight, he just stares at the man.

Seeing that attitude I could afford, I get a glimmer of sweat on the man's cheek.

"Ha, captain..."

And one of the knights helped speaks to the captain in such a way as roughly.

"I know... he didn't kill the guy at the entrance, and he helped us. - I can't point a sword at that benefactor."

The captain's man, who was called out, seemed to regret it, but waved his head loosely as he pulled his hand in and cut off some thoughts.

I put my hand on the sword to explore Ethereal's reaction and it didn't seem like I meant to fight for it.

"I'm glad you said that. I didn't mean to fight the people I helped, either.... So, what brings you here? Seems to have a clear purpose…"

In response to Aotearoa's inquiry, this again makes the captain look harsh, but it doesn't last long, sighing like he gave up.

"Ha... We came here to collect the dungeon core because someone asked us to. It's a long-existing dungeon, so the dungeon core must be pretty big."

There's no lie in that word - Aotearoa felt that way, but she also felt she was hiding something on it.

"I see, we simply came here to explore the dungeon. I found out there was a dungeon here with some information. Uh, by the way, anything like a fake entrance would have been perfectly clear to us if we'd gotten close."

I would add that because I knew they had done something to the entrance.

"Ha ha, well you can do all that fighting, so you'll see about the entrance arr... you can't go any further with more injuries. We're going home, but what are you guys going to do?

As captain, it was the truth that I wanted Aeta and the others to return from the dungeon as well.

"I'm sorry, but we're still going to move on. You'd want me to be gone, but I don't like you that much."

The captain laughs bitterly at Aotearoa's sarcastic words. I just didn't expect it from the beginning, but it seemed like I was out of my mind to get the answer I expected.

"Well, that's no choice. If it had stayed that way, it would have been wiped out, so I would have gone home thinking that there was as much money as there was life. - You guys, we're going back!

Returning to his brave expression, the captain orders the knights.

The first aid for the injured is over while I'm talking to Aotearoa, and because everyone is regaining consciousness, one person gets up and moves in the form of supporting one person.

When they take beside the Ethereals, each one bows his head. Deena smiles back somewhat gently, but Atra and Aeta just watched.

"We've defeated as many demons as we can on the way, but be careful, they might be back together."

"Oh, thank you for your attention. Bye."

When the captain thanked Ethereum again, he headed to the entrance.

"Well, let's keep walking. It's bad for them, but we're gonna do it ourselves."

We can't help but recover our own dungeon core, which is the purpose of the knights - Aotearoa is so severed.

"Yes!"

Copy that.

Through the area of the water dragon, the Ethereals move on.

On the road, as before, demons of water attributes emerge.

Again, he will not be the opponent of the Ethereals, but will be lightly defeated, and his materials will be stored in the sub-empty storeroom one after the other.

Nothing that could be their obstacle did.

The speed at which Ethereal Tails were progressing was so fast that they proceeded to the back and came to the front of the room where the dungeon core was located.

There was almost a door there that emitted majestic signs.

"Is there a dungeon core ahead..."

"Probably..."

We were both new to the dungeon offense, but we understood from the atmosphere that there would be a dungeon core ahead.

The reason for this lay in the demons guarding the doors of this room.

"That looks a lot stronger."

Aotearoa stares and analyzes the demon's strength.

A body made of water, just like a water dragon - smaller in size than a water dragon defeated lightly by Ethereum.

But just being there makes me feel like a strong presence - it was such a demon.

"Water Kaiser Wolf"

It was Atra who named the demon.

Kaiser among the demons of the water attribute - that is, he is a mighty man who bears the name of emperor.

That figure of a wolf, such as the water itself, is elegant like one piece of art when you stand still.

In contrast, both Atra and Emperor Wolf - this one bears the name of Emperor, and they are both wolves.

"I'll take care of this."

Usually a modest Atra declares so by stepping out in front of Ethereum and Deena.

A demon of the same kind and bearing the name of the same emperor as himself.

If so, it is necessary to prove which is superior.

That was Atra's idea.

"... ok. But if I get pinched, I might get my hands on it. If you don't like it, fight it in a way that won't pinch you."

"It's a pretty high hurdle order...... yeah, I agree. I don't want Atra to get hurt, so please don't be a pinch."

Deena, a carefree voice, follows Ethereal's words, which she conditionally accepted.

'... I understand. I'm sure you can't do as much as that to continue your journey with the two of us. "

I will defeat this demon with only my own strength, even to stand next to the two dignified people, confident in who I am going to be.

With strong determination, Atra gradually packs her distance from Waterkaiser Wolf as she steps forward.
