Chapter 175 – Nostalgic Face

A few days later. I, who was once again being called to the guild, now was walking leisurely to the guild’s headquarters after getting off at the nearest station.

Yesterday, there was a call from Claire. She seems to have a suggestion to help me recover my physical condition. But, as she said she wanted to tell me the details in person, I haven’t heard that suggestion yet, and now, I’m really intrigued as to what she would suggest.

When I was walking while thinking about that, I arrived at a familiar place. A place that leaves a bitter memory for me, the ex-site of Kenzaki Dungeon.

“From suddenly ending up fighting the Nameless Knight, which was the extra boss there, to even ending up fighting the Orc General when the dungeon collapse occurred… And the finishing blow was fighting against Cain the other day, huh. Perhaps this place is cursed? No way, right?”

It won’t be funny if I get involved in something strange again here. Especially now, when I couldn’t even fight properly. Thus, let’s avoid this place and go on a detour.

In fact, I wasn’t the only one who avoided the park, which was the ex-site of Kenzaki Dungeon. Probably because the news about the dungeon outbreak that normally couldn’t occur here has spread. As a result, because no one wanted to get close to this park, currently, there is no one in the—- Nn?

No, there is. Only one person. From what I can see from the back, it’s most likely a girl, who for some reason is on all fours with her hands and knees on the ground. A new kind of pervert?

Looks like it’s better for me to seriously stay away from this place from now on– Just after I thought so,

“Why….why has Kenzaki Dungeon already disappeared!”

The scream of the girl entered my ears. It seems the girl came here to capture Kenzaki Dungeon. Well, it has already been a few months since the disappearance of Kenzaki Dungeon due to the Dungeon Collapse after all. So, that might be the reason she couldn’t get that information. Although I was saying ‘Don’t mind!’ to her in my mind, I also thought that was partially her fault too. Rather than that, I had to head to Yoizuki’s headquarters quickly–

With that in mind, I took a step forward. However, I soon stopped my feet.

“Even though I wanted to get the sword of the Nameless Knight or the something swordsman title!”

“—–!”

Hearing those words, I reflexively looked back. Because there shouldn’t be a person who knows about that weapon and title.

No, wait a minute. There might be some. Because I previously spread this information online. Although at that time most of the readers thought it was a lie, if it’s someone who has the eyes that could see through lies, it’s not strange if he or she could reach the truth!

I never thought there was a person who believed in my words. Moreover, she even immediately decided to take action by coming here. Although Kenzaki Dungeon no longer exists, and I couldn’t confidently say that the girl who came here wasn’t strange, I am quite happy with that. I guess it would be fine to talk to her, even if it was just a few words.

“Sigh… I’m shocked, but it couldn’t be helped. I guess I have to look for other good ideas from scratch…”

However, faster than I could greet her, the girl stood up and turned around, causing her eyes to meet with mine.

When I saw the girl’s face, I opened my eyes in surprise. And the girl was also the same. That is because–

“… Akari?”

“… Rin?”

— I recognize the girl who stood there very well. She is Kurumizawa Akari. The girl who lived in the house next door until a few years ago– In other words, she is my childhood friend.
