「It exploded, didn’t it.」
Diablo muttered.
Sylvie affirmed that with a tone that sounded tired.
「Sure didー.」
「Moreover, it was pretty loud.」
「The place shook, didn’t itー.」
The moment the Light and Darkness Magic were combined, a shockwave strong enough to shake the dungeon had spread out.
Diablo breathed a sigh.
「To think that it would explode so close by.」
「I thought that I’d get swallowed up by it and die, you know? Do those experiments when you’re alone, okay?」
「……Umu.」
He himself was uninjured due to the effect of the 《Demon King’s Ring》, but Sylvie who was next to him was in danger.
To have come out of it safely although complaining about it, as expected of the Guildmaster.
Thank goodness Rem and Shera weren’t dragged into this──is what he thought.
In the end, the magic experiment was a failure, but by bulldozing through with the level difference, the swarm of 《Blessing Bears》 was exterminated.
On the scorched floor, there was a large quantity of burnt stuffed animals scattered about.
The 《Blessing Bears》 would unravel their seams and have tentacles dumped out from within──that was the special action that they had, but since Diablo didn’t get close to enemies to begin with, that didn’t matter all that much.
──Ahh, I want to go home.
When his MP was reduced, his motivation towards everything would be weakened.
The things that he felt as precious or had strong feelings about up until then, he would stop caring about them and yearn only for bed.
Diablo took an MP Potion out from his pouch and drank it down.
His delusions cleared like a morning fog, and his paralyzed emotions returned. His weakened thoughts became vivid.
──Yosh, on to the next one!
He opened the stone doors.
They came out to a place that had a different atmosphere from the dungeon made of stone that they had been in up until now.
The floor, the walls, and the ceiling weren’t covered with moss, and on the fascinatingly elegant stone walls, torches lit through magic were emitting light.
Diablo compared it with the map of the 《Dark Green Cathedral》 that he had in his memory.
「So this is the deepest part.」
「That’s right. At the back of this place, there is a spot here the floor comes off a bit. The 《Eternal Mythril》 should be there.」
「Are you sure it hasn’t been harvested already?」
「Although I don’t know the reasoning behind it……it seems that only a bit can be collected when a male and female pair enter the place.」
──Looks like that part is the same as the game.
Sylvie added a supplement to her explanation.
「Although it seems that it can be collected several times if they repeatedly go in and out of the dungeon, the 《Blessing Bears》 and other monsters are strong after all. Even for me, I wouldn’t come here unless I was together with you, Diablo-san.」
「I see.」
A majority of the Faltra City Adventurers were around level 20.
There is no way many of them would go to a place where level 99 monsters would appear in large amounts.
He asked a question that suddenly bothered him.
「Sylvie, it doesn’t seem like this is your first time coming her, does it……?」
「Fufu……It’s because although I look like this, I am the Guildmaster. If the request is put in, I can at least explore a dungeon.」
「I see……」
On their way to the back, Sylvie stopped him with one hand.
「ッ!!」
Falling a bit behind, Diablo also noticed.
──Something is here?
Before long, a low voice resounded.
「Hou, for you to have noticed, you’re pretty good……As expected of you.」
The one that appeared from the shadow of a pillar was a male Dwarf. Since a majority of his face was hidden with a rich beard, they couldn’t tell his age, but going by his voice, he was in the prime of his life.
He should have had dog-like ears and tail as the traits of a Dwarf, but they were hidden in armor. The man wore a full-body metal armor, and he held a dark grey axe in his hand.
Diablo felt that it was surprising.
「To think that there was someone that came to a dungeon of this level before us.」
「……Could it be, were you waiting for us?」
Hearing Sylvie’s conjecture, the male Dwarf curved his lips into a sneer.
Thinking about it──
On the way here, there were no new traces of battle. All of them were marks of old battles.
In other words, this Dwarf skipped the upper floors, and was in this place.
「Was there a secret path in this 《Dark Green Cathedral》?」
「Gufufu……I’m good at digging holes, see.」
It seemed that was the case.
Diablo shrugged his shoulders.
「This dungeon has no meaning if it isn’t entered with a man and woman pair. You won’t get a cut of it.」
「Whaaat, there’s no need to worry. I’ll be taking what I want.」
「Mu?」
The Dwarf shouted.
「I am the king of the Dwarven clan Gobbal──Bultame! Pulverizing happy couples that would try to obtain 《Eternal Mythril》 which are the ingredients for 《Marriage Rings》──That is my desire!」
「Ugh!?」
Diablo shrank back.
He held his head in his hands.
「I, I am in……a happy……? Couple……?」
He stared at Sylvie.
She made a bitter smile.
「Nnー……Diablo-san and I aren’t like that though……Well, anyone wanting 《Marriage Rings》 would generally be called a happy person though.」
「Guwaaaahhh!」
Diablo got down to his knees.
Very slightly, he was self-aware of it.
Compared to when he was alone in his original world, he now had both Rem and Shera. Putting aside the time at the start, right now, he clearly held affection towards them.
Even with Krum, Sasala, and Sylvie, although he had to do it with his Demon King roleplay, he could talk with them.
──Isn’t that a riajuu!?
「Uuu……Is the one that should explode……me?」
「Wait, Diablo-san, what are you saying!?」
Sylvie was flustered.
Riajuus should explode──It seemed that sort of ideology was outside of her sense of values.
Diablo spoke as if vomiting blood.
「Fools that carry the useless emotion known as love, they need to explode, don’t they?」
「Then the Races would be destroyed, you know!?」
That was a fair argument.
This place wasn’t a game, although it was another world, it was reality. Unless riajuus left behind children, the Races would perish.
Diablo covered his face with both hands.
「Uuu……I understand that. I understand that but……」
「Wh, what’s wrong?」
She was bewildered.
Diablo squeezed out a voice of resentment.
「Even so, I……Guys that can have fun and flirt with girls as their plain selves, I hate them!」
Sylvie displayed a complicated-looking face.
「Diablo-san, just what happened……in your past?」
──Nothing happened at all!
That was the lamentation of his soul.
