Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka - Volume 03 (10 page)

Instead of heading down the Dungeon by myself, although it was somewhat despicable, but I still attempted to expressed the feelings roaring in my chest and discussed with Aizu-san, while having a hot face……Even though it was well pass the early morning period, we were still training underneath the clear blue skies.

Only that right now, it was a temporary break.

“T…That…I…Did I make a bit of progress?”

“……Why?”

“No, about that, because I keep fainting recently……”

While the distance between the two of us was close enough to embrace each other, I bit my teeth and threw out a topic.

Aizu-san wordlessly stared directly in front, where she could only see my face.

“You, have indeed been changing……To a shocking degree.”

“T…That…But……”

“Half of the reason……You fainted…was because my mistake of estimating my strength.

“I…It can’t be like this!?”

Aizu-san slowly closed half her eyes. Although it was no different than her usual expression, but I was about to understand it slightly that, at this time, she was still depressed.

I hurriedly tried to encourage Aizu-san, who did not even notice that her shoulders had dropped down. At the same time, I did not know why I felt that my body was savoring an incredible feeling.

It was a flower that was normally unattainable.

Even though this fact should not have changed, but I was able to communicate with this person closely. Placing the person, who was not the , into my eyes.

Although I could not describe it properly with language……That’s right, it feels that it is lacking a sense of reality.

Only that she, who was originally beautiful and sublime, have slightly changed. Just like a normal girl……Only at this time, I was able to feel it.

Looking at her figure, who became depressed for a meager thing, you would think of that.

“……Can you listen?”

“Eh?”

Due to Aizu-san muttering this question, I, who was thinking seriously, had my consciousness brought back.

Looking to the side, I do not know when Aizu-san had already concealed her depression and seriously looked over here.

“Why can you become strong so quickly?”

“Become…Strong……?”

Towards the content that she asked, I rolled my eyes around.

Strong, this vocabulary, I do not know why this does not seem to match me.

Then I recalled the variously unsightly things I did up to date. Although I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself inside, but seeing Aizu-san’s eyes firmly fixed onto this side, I seriously thought for a while.

The reason I wanted to become stronger……No, the reason why I was still able to become stronger……

“……That, there is a person that I wanted to chase up no matter what. I desperately wanted to chase after that person and unconsciously reached this level, in short……”

My thoughts were not properly integrated and so I was unable to express it with my words.

Compared to saying these words in front of the person I wanted to chase after, I could not stand the embarrassment.

My thoughts were completely messed up, but I finally managed to say the next sentence.

“……In short, it is because there is a place I want to achieve.”

Towards this answer, Aizu-san widened her eyes slightly.

After staring at me in silence for a while, she slowly raised her face and looked above her head.

“So it’s like this……”

With a posture of hugging her knees, she concentrated at looking at the sky.

In front of my eyes and nose, the golden hair was currently being combed by the wind.

“…….I understand.”

Towards the wind chimes-like whisper, I muttered “Eh?”.

“I also……”

The words after that were completely engulfed by the rapidly blowing winds.

Towards the powerful wind that blew from the side, I unconsciously closed my eyes.

The cool breeze that blew from the west. As if it was like the sound of the whistle that flew everywhere around the surrounding walls.

I timidly opened my eyes, there was no change in her posture. Aizu-san continued to stare at the sky.

“T…That……”

“?”

“Ah, no……Nothing…Happened.”

Looking at Aizu-san, who tilted her head while lacking emotions on her face, I did not continue to ask.

If I ask, what can I do. While I recalled that I have never seen her make such eyes, I asked myself.

After that, nobody spoke. Just when my body felt slightly restless.

From the east side of the city, came the clock’s declaration of noon.

I listened to the pure sound that was like the church’s bell. Even if it was opposite of the city, you could still listen to the sound of horse neighing from outside the surrounding walls. Was it merchants that was about to enter the Labyrinth City, they were probably being checked by the guild.

Where we were currently located at was a stone paved road at the top of the surrounding walls. On both sides, there stands a slightly tall battlement. The scene of the city could be glanced completely if you look into the inside of the city. Looking outside will allow you to see the stretches of grassland, forests and mountains.

Allowing the city’s clock chimes and the bustling noise outside of the city enter my ears…The weather is great, is what I thought.

Due to the warm sunlight that projected due from the cloudless blue sky, I could not help but narrow my eyes.

“Fuah……”

“……?”

I turned my head and looked to side, Aizu-san was currently using her hand to cover her mouth.

The peach-like mouth was slightly opening……She was currently yawning.

While being bathed by the warm sunlight, she hugged her knees again as if nothing had happened and recovered her original position.

Shortly after that happened.

“Afternoon nap training, you won’t do it?”

“Ha?”

Towards the proposal that did not match with training, I was stunned.

Looking in front, Aizu-san responded faintly.

“In the Dungeon, no matter what, you must be able to sleep.”

“……”

“Whether or not you could recover your strength is also very important.”

That is probably true.

Although I currently return on the day I enter the Dungeon, but as the floors continued to fall, there may be a need to stay at the Dungeon for long periods of time. At that time, I might be targeted by Monsters, there will also be no soft, fluffy bed. To an Adventurer, it was completely bad if you could not let your body rest well.

Aiz-san talked about the importance of sleeping, no matter what occasion, with a serious expression.

But I, with a subtle expression, did not intersect with her eyesight and she asked.

“That……Could it be…very disturbed?”

“……”

Towards this accusation, Aizu-san, who was staring in front, slowly turned her head towards my direction.

“It’s training.”

“O…Okay.”

Towards Aizu-san, who leaned her face over, I could only nod my head while sweating.

Although I frowned slightly, and made a serious expression……However, my cheeks were slightly dyed red.

M…My chest hurts……! Idiot, me……!

“T…That……Are we sleeping here?”

“Nnn, Yes.”

Aizu-san nodded towards my inquiry. She moved slightly forward from her position leaning on the back, and just like that she fell asleep.

The path on the surrounding walls was extremely hard. It could not even be called as beautifully made due to the numerous bumps of different heights.

In front of Aizu-san, who seemed to not care and lied down on the stone path, there was a feeling of recognizing a First-Class Adventurer’s capabilities.

Towards them, who will have to rest in variety of places after entering the Deep Floors, in such a sleeping place ??Precisely it was because they did not feel it was uncomfortable??probably they were already accustomed to it.

“Not sleeping?”

“Ah, O…Okay……”

Being looked upon from below, it has become a strange thing. While I thought about this, I moved closely towards her due to my urges.

Towards Aizu-san, who was sleeping defenselessly, although I had hesitated in that moment??No, I will normally not do such a thing?? whether or not I should do a strange thing, but after glancing at the bright shining saber, I let out a hollow smile and thought again. I would probably be beheaded immediately if I do such shameless acts.

Instead of saying that she lost her alertness, why not say that although it was temporary, she was still taking care of me as a disciple, perhaps it was the sincerity of her style that reflects it.

……Anyways, this is also training.

“E…Excuse me……”

I timidly lay down on the ground with my face facing the sky next to where Aizu-san was sleeping.

This should be obvious, there was no traces of wanting to sleep. The sound of my heartbeat was too noisy.

I inadvertently turned to the side. With a sideways sleeping posture, Aizu-san’s face appeared in my gaze, I hurriedly looked away.

With my eyebrows twitching, I awkwardly closed my eyes.

Maintaining a posture where I faced the sky, sleep quickly sleep quickly sleep quickly, I muttered to myself.

“……?”

Shortly after, a faint breathing sound entered my ears.

I opened my eyes and quietly peeked, Aizu-san had her eyes closed. It seems that she had already fallen asleep.

So…So fast……

She did talk about how recovering stamina was crucial, could she have been accustomed about how to sleep?

Or perhaps was she really tired so she could immediately fall asleep……

“……B…Bell.”

……Eh?

“Go, Bell.”

……Ehhh?

Suddenly a nostalgic voice came from the depths of my mind.

It couldn’t have misheard it……It was the voice of my grandfather, who brought me up instead of my parents. I do not know why it echoed directly inside my head at this time.

Facing this increasingly powerful voice, I finally began to think that it was an hallucination.

(……Huh, strange?)

Aizu-san, she became closer……?

Is it an illusion. I narrowed my half-opened eyes.

At first, we were separated by a distance of two people’s space. Why……

“It’s time to go, Bell.”

The next instant, it approached a distance where her face was extremely close by.

“!?”

Finally, I noticed the strangeness here.

Maintaining a posture where we faced each other, the distance between each other had indeed shortened.

Could A…Aizu-san move over while she was confused in her sleep……N…No, she did not even move her body a single centimeter!

C…Could it be……!?

“G?O?”

??Was it me that leaned over!?

Facing this emergency situation that was unlikely to occur, it feels that my heart had stopped working. Nasty sweat was released over my entire body.

N…No, it can’t be mistaken. My body was moving over to Aizu-san step by step!

Why!? What’s the logic!? It can’t be that I wanted to some strange things!?

I’ll be cut!?

“Go take advantage of this sleep and attack?”

(Huhhhh!?)

It was even closer.

With her eyes closed, Aizu-san’s face was becoming bigger, even the details of her innocent and cute sleeping face could be seen clearly.

Her smooth and delicate white skin, her slender neck……He small, pleasant pink lips.

Facing this imminent, clear and intense scene, my face began to be dyed red in a terrifying momentum.

(Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute!?)

There was no way but to cry out inside my heart.

As if my actions were faithful to my grandfather and was like a bomb that was deeply ingrained, I unbiasedly crawled over to Aizu-san. Also, I revealed a sensitive feeling that did not allow this person noticing me from approaching her. What on earth happened!?

I…I…It can’t be….I …to this person……!?

“Kiss her?“

UWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?

“??Wait a minute, Bell-kun!”

Just at that moment.

As if was blaming my evil acts, Kami-sama’s (Hestia) voice came from my mind.

“Attacking a sleeping lady in her sleep, how could I allow this kind of behavior! I do not remember raising you to become this kind of child!”

My heart and body suddenly began to shake.

It was the feeling as if I had taken control back of my body and heart that was being controlled by something.

I…It’s exactly what Kami-sama had said……!

“Kissing with that girl is not allowed, absolutely not allowed! Absolutely NOT!!”

Facing Kami-sama’s unprecedented, desperate roar, I had sweat flowing while I try to gain some distance from Aizu-san.

Only that my movements became abnormally slow, almost as if there were two wills that were fighting against each other inside my body. Saying that it was a reaction force was fine.

Kami-sama’s Oracle (Light) and Grandfather’s Bewitching words (Dark) were currently violently colliding with each other.

“Quickly go away??“

“From now on, this is a holy battle?“

“??Ah, you bastard, what are you doing, WAHHH!?”
