The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter - Chapter 43

Chapter 43

It seems that the Golden Bee stuck its needle into the trunk and was absorbing magical powers . Once the needle is stabbed, it looked like the big tree could not fight back because of the pain .

Dori-chan crouches in pain and holds her chest .

I caressed her back .

In a short while, once it gets enough magic power, it will fly away .

「Are you all right?」

「…Yes . I feel more comfortable now . It least, it is not coming back for a few hours . 」

I ground my teeth .

As strong as I am now, I can not fight against the Golden Bee by any means .

Troubled by it, I decided to ask Dori-chan .

「How many times could it happen before it becomes dangerous?」

「It depends on the amount drained . But it should still be safe if it is only 2 or 3 times…」

It seems that if her magic power is dried up, her life will be lost .

At longest, the bee is going to return in half a day . For this once, should I return and make a plan for the countermeasures?

But from tomorrow, I have to go for the subjugation expedition . Besides, it may be better not to say that I returned .

Anyhow, I have no time .

However, it may be also night outside, so I should prepare to spend the evening here .

「First of all, let me briefly explain my abilities――」

If there is a chance of victory here, it would be decided by the use of the gathered LP . However, as the current amount of the LPs is within 500, it is likely that I wouldn’t be able to pull it off just with that .

「Isn’t it about getting along well with the opposite sex?」

「Yeah, that’s right . But now it would be difficult . 」

「How about myself, am I not good enough? I’m a woman here . 」

You are rather more of a little girl than a woman, aren’t you?

I would rather say that there is no way it is going to give the LPs, but I decided that it would be good to agree and try it .

It can’t be helped . I’m just going to get along with her demands to becalm her feelings…

First of all, let’s start with a「Princess carry」 .

Dori-chan wasn’t brimming with health as she had very little magic power, but she smiled happily .

「This feeling, it is good . 」

「Is it? I look like a knight of a little princess . 」

「Knight-san, and this is for you . 」

*kiss*

Dori-chan gave a light kiss to my cheek .

While I was surprised at that, I thanked her back and carried her like this to her main body . I tried to pat the tree trunk gently .

「This way, does it feel good?」

「I does . your gentle touch, it feels good . 」

「I think this kind of skillful massage is good . 」

For a while I continued the massage with *rub rub* .

Dori-chan looked at it with an unfleeting smile .

A calm feeling drifted around, as if the earlier slaughter of the monsters was just a lie . While such a relaxed feeling is not that you would experience usually, the mood somehow becomes this way when I’m together with her .

「Have you stored some LP?」

「No, I’m saying, – gaining the LPs with a small girl… I saved them!?」

You must be kidding…?

What does it mean – an increase of 800 LPs?

Don’t tell me I was a ****con all the way… I can’t be… I desperately held my head .

Even though I should be happy about storing some extra LPs, why it feels so sad…?

If my master were here, – 「Noir, you are a ****con!」

She would definitely laugh at me like that .

「Ah, that’s right! There is my master inside this dungeon!」

As she is far more experienced than me, she may give a solution for this problem .

「Dori-chan, can you leave this place?」

「If my small body gets too far apart from this place, it can’t be controlled」

「Well, then wait a bit . I’m going to go and meet my master . I will return for sure, so don’t go to any wrong (strange) place from here . 」

There are dangerous monsters wandering around in this forest . Even though it is a separate body, it would be better if she didn’t take damage .

「Noir-chan, I will be waiting for you . 」

「I will absolutely return . 」

As my Dungeon Portal skill became available again, I used it to move to my master’s original location .

「Master, I’ve got in a troublesome situation . 」

『Yes! You came back! A disciple coming to seek help from his master, – Olivia was waiting for this moment ～』

My master, as always, was in high tension .

I wonder whether I really should be an apprentice of such a person .

Generally speaking, I’ve already used to such flows of events .

『I wonder if I ever saw something akin to that Golden Bee . Was it that level 700 Poison Bee, the strongest of the bees?』

「If you say it, 700… Did you win against it?」

『It was a victory in a blink of an eye… The opponent of that caliber was not an enemy of Olivia in her heyday . 』

「Amazing! How did you defeat it?」

『I added 100 kg of weight to it with my 【Grant】 skill . With that weight added, it fell to the ground, – after that I attacked it . 』

「That’s it!」

『Sorry, sorry, with the LPs you have, Noir, it would be impossibleー』

「Is that so…」

Perhaps because I was depressed, my master switched to her true self’s serious tone and reprimanded me .

『As Olivia, I would like you to give up this time . Noir, I don’t want you to go to a certain death . Even if you do everything you can, that Bee would be a difficult enemy . 』

First of all, its flight skill system . Regardless of what it is, it is troublesome .

Among High Speed, Super Speed, Godly Speed, High Speed is the lowest rank, but it would make a huge difference if it weren’t there (if the skill were not present) .

If you were an ordinary adventurer, it would be very difficult to follow it with your eyes .

Furthermore, 【Extreme Poison Needle】 of the Golden Bee is a strengthened version of 【Poison Needle】, and, once I’m stabbed, it is almost my loss .

In addition to the lethal poison, it would be impossible to counterattack, as the poison causes a continuous intolerable pain .

Dori-chan also… looked much in a pain .

「That’s it, if I make a Poison Resistance skill…」

『Not bad～ . But even if you do it beforehand, the result would be the same…』

「If there is a chance, it can’t be helped…」

『It totally doesn’t sound like your usual self, Noir . ――It can’t be helped then, I can’t just leave it as it is . 』

After that, the master disappointedly sighed .

『There is a risk, but Olivia will teach you how to improve the winning rate . 』

「That’s why I like you, Master!」

『No, I’m going to say one more time! Give up!』

「It is the best, my beautiful master Olivia . 」

『As I’m in a good mood, I guess I will teach you . What kind of relations do the monsters have in that forest?
Are they hostile towards a different kind of them?』

I assented to it .

Let alone the different species, Dangos, which were of the same species, were undoubtedly killing each other . Those Silver Wolves too, they saw the other species as enemies .

『Let’s see… If they are successfully incited, it may work . Now it is the time to elaborate Olivia’s strategy to my disciple . 』

「Please, do it . 」

With all seriousness, I was all ears, as my master explained her strategy . Immediately after I’ve heard the general idea, my heart jumped with a hope . Of course, even though it is not a method of a sure victory…

In the worst case, it would mean death .

But it is a sure method to reduce the possibility of death as much as possible .

I verified (polished) the strategy over and over .

The time flew quickly .

「――I’m going . 」

『Don’t die～ . You will go to hell if you do . 』

「Master, even if you say it, would it be rather a heaven?」

『If that is the case, you can’t lose even more so . Because Olivia is a bad child . 』

Yeah, yeah, I have to accompany my master as usually .

After that, I went to the 7th layer again .
