Chapter 46
About two weeks after the new year, Anna came to me.
"Hey, Allen. I'm thinking of challenging the newly discovered Dungeon in Altmunt. Would you mind escorting me?"
"Into the Great Dungeon of Orcs? Fine, but how deep do you want to go?"
"Great Dungeon? What do you mean?"
Oops, without a thought, I answered her. So it was discovered recently.
However, trying to correct it improperly will not do me any good, so I decided to confess it obediently.
"Actually, a long time ago, I found an undiscovered Dungeon in the depths of the Altmunt forest and conquered it."
"Huh? What did you say? Allen, Wasn't the Goblin Dungeon the only one you traversed?"
"Because even though it was an undiscovered Dungeon, the boss on the bottom level was only the Orc King. There were no traps, and it wasn't that big of a deal, so I thought I didn't need to say anything about it."
When Anna hears me say that, she puts her hand on her forehead and has a dumbfounded expression on her face.
"Seriously, they say there's a fine line between genius and all but were you also of that group?"
That's rude, I'm not a genius, so there's no way I'm even close to them. In my previous life, in college, there were a lot of people who were a lot better than me.
"Well, I've been traversing it with high-speed laps, so if you can protect yourself at least, I can probably conquer it with Anna-sama, but what do you think?"
"Wait, Allen. What is a high-speed lap?"
"Eh? To raise the level, I just traverse the Dungeon and then transfer to the entrance and repeat."
"…"
Anna is putting her hand on her forehead again. As I thought, she must have been overwhelmed when she was made to be the Crown Prince's fiancée.
But I think it's more attractive when her expression changes like now. As I was looking at her, Anna stared into my eyes.
Iya, I'm not that immune to women, so I'm embarrassed when they stare at me with such a beautiful face.
"No, it's okay. You're you. So, are you going to take care of it?"
"Yes, gladly"
And so with that, Anna and I went to play in the Great Dungeon of Orcs. (TL:- Dungeon date(?).)
????
Then, after a long time, I rode a horse-drawn carriage to Altomunt. It's a bit of a hassle to take a horse-drawn carriage over a long distance that would have taken few hours if we had taken the Buitor, but it's nice to travel by horse-drawn carriage because it has a retro feel to it.
And After a long journey, we arrived at Margaret's family house.
"Hi, Allen-kun. Long time no see."
"Margaret-sama, it's been a long time."
I kneel and bow.
"It's okay, Allen-kun. You're my classmate. Also, you're the knight who saved Anna-sama's life."
"I'm not like that……"
"Oh, jeez. I don't know what you're talking about, Allen-kun, who was able to defeat five of the strongest students in the school. If it weren't for Anna-sama, I would have recruited him as a knight myself."
"Hey, Margaret"
"I know, I know. Ana-sama, I'm not going to snatch your precious Knight-kun away from you. I'm not like that whore."
"…… Ah, right. Besides, Allen's not that kind of guy."
Eh? Hmm? What is this exchange? Maybe am I wishing it …. No, I can't. The Duke reminded me that I'm only a friend, and if I put my hand on her, my neck will fly.
Not metaphorically, but physically.
Well, with that exchange, I was given a room at Margaret's mansion and taken care of. What's more, I was even accompanied by a maid!
Of course, I'm grateful, but the mansions of the aristocrats were unnecessarily large and luxurious, and for a mediocre citizen like me, I felt uncomfortable in a place like this.
Ah, of course, I didn't spend a dream night with the maid, okay?
????
Then next day, I took Anna, Margaret, and the five knights guarding us to the Great Dungeon of Orcs. We went through the formalities and entered the Dungeon, but unlike the time when it was undiscovered, there seemed to be a lot of adventurers taking on the challenge.
"Then let's proceed quickly. However, I would like to get an idea of your abilities, so if any orcs appear, please try to fight them by yourselves. If it looks dangerous, I'll help you right away."
The five knights seem to think I'm a shady person, but they followed the orders of their master, Margaret, to the letter.
"Then I'll do it first."
With that said, I readied my Nikov and fired a shot at the Orc that had come out from the back. With a loud bang, the bullet struck the Orc right between the eyes, and it collapsed and stopped moving.
"Huh?"
"What? What was that now?"
Anna and Margaret say so and become speechless. The knights also froze, their eyes darting around.
"With the application of wind magic, I sent iron bullets flying and shot them in. This is a magical tool to assist with that. I made it."
"I-I see. As expected of Allen, I'm counting on you."
When I said that, Anna returned from the astound state and said so.
"Thank you"
After that, things went pretty fast. The knights followed my instructions, and we were able to move forward with ease.
In this way, we quickly traverse the Orc's Dungeon, which I knew all too well, and easily defeated the boss at the bottom level.
"Okay, with this, you have now conquered the Great Dungeon of Orcs. Congratulations!"
"Oh, ohh"
"I had to rely on Allen-kun halfway through, but yeah. Thanks."
Thus, we quickly conquered the Great Dungeon of Orcs and later added the achievement of the Great Dungeon of Orcs Conqueror in my guild card.
Author's Note:-
I received a very nice review from Slip-sama saying that the main character is very likeable. I'm sure the protagonist is very happy to be described that way. Thank you very much for your wonderful review!
