Is it wrong to try to meet someone in a dungeon?

That was all the master said.

I still didn't understand, and then he said, "Next. Continue the practical training with other women," taking me to the next battlefield.

Sure enough, my battle seems far from over...

◇

"What happened...?"

Bell suddenly collapsed, as if a dark shadow passed through his vision, and then the boy disappeared.

Standing there dumbfounded, Loriel wondered if she was dreaming. However,

"No...that's not how it is."

She smiled after confirming that the boy's coat was still draped over his shoulders.

The coat still seemed to retain a little warmth, and the fairy girl gently hugged it, her cheeks flushing slightly.

"Ah, Bell-kun...! When will we meet again...?"

The fairy's face, which should have been intelligent and aloof, completely went limp.

And so another enthusiastic supporter of the White Rabbit made a dazzling appearance.

Later, after learning that his kin had abandoned their mission and become completely infatuated with Bell, the kind-hearted Hermes was so shocked that he fainted. But that's another story.

Eina was exhausted.

"The Goddess Festival must be really tough..."

"I'm being bossed around everywhere, and there's never enough work to do!"

While responding to her colleague Missia's tearful complaints with a wry smile, she repeatedly carried sacks of vegetables back and forth.

Not only during the Goddess Festival, but also during events like the Monster Festival, guild staff are subjected to heavy physical labor. This includes not only handling various procedures and setting up equipment, but also meticulously negotiating with the Ganesha Familia, who act as military police; providing preventative advice to the entertainment-loving gods to avoid going too far; and welcoming visiting dignitaries from other countries and cities. The workload is endless.

More importantly, Orario is too vast. Even if volunteers are recruited from the public, there is never enough manpower to safely organize an event in such a huge city, so the shifts for each staff member will be even more limited.

"But thankfully I have a day off tomorrow~, I didn't get to do it even once last year~"

"But in return, we were granted leave for other activities, weren't we?"

"That's true, though~" Missia said, shaking her pink hair and pouting.

But in the blink of an eye, he changed his expression and asked with a smile.

"What are Eina's plans for tomorrow? Want to go to the Goddess Festival together?"

"Uh, I..."

Although Misia's suggestion pleased her from the bottom of her heart, Eina hesitated to speak.

(Bell, I wonder if you're free tomorrow...? Well, I really don't have any ulterior motives at all!)

Is the reason I'm testing the waters a little because of my own unbearable longing?

Although I haven't been able to contact him because I've been too busy preparing for the festival, I'd still like to go for a walk together if possible.

In the past, I would think about the "Goddess Festival" in a detached way, "Ah, I'm so busy, I have to pack up the documents and I don't have time to enjoy the festival. Speaking of which, Natalie from the next department said she was going to the festival with a man. But what should I do on this occasion? I guess I'll just enjoy the night view while having dinner." But when it comes to my turn, my cheeks get hot and I can't think straight.

As long as they both enjoy themselves, just like when they went shopping with the boy to get new armor—that's all that matters—and a smile appeared on her face as she thought this.

"Ah, it's my younger brother! He seems to be walking with a very cute girl... Eh, Eina!?"

Bang bang bang!

The burlap sack he was holding slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground, scattering many pumpkins across the stone floor.

Seeing the boy and girl holding hands intimately, Eina's thoughts completely stopped.

Tiona was very happy.

"The festival was really great! I wish Ais and Lefia could come too!"

"With you eating like a glutton while walking, there's no way they'd keep you company."

While being nagged by her sister Thione, she licked the residue off her lips.

The sash tied outside the sarong held a collection of badges representing the various main streets.

"So powerful!" "Complete domination..." "How much did they eat...?"

So much so that people passing by looked at him with awe.

As Tiony said, Tiona thoroughly enjoyed eating and walking around during the "Festival of the Goddess." For just 1000 fali, you could buy badges and enjoy as much bread, vegetables, and fruit as you wanted—it was paradise for this gluttonous girl.

Just as her appetite was satisfied, she put her hands behind her head and smiled contentedly—

"Uh-huh--?"

The figure of the boy nestled together with the girl with light gray hair appeared in the distance.

"【Rabbit Foot】, and I remember that person was 'The Abundant Mistress'..."

"Eh—! Huh!? Why!?"

Tiony covered her ears with her fingers, glaring angrily at Tiona, who was shouting loudly with wide eyes.

"You ask why? But he wasn't really your man to begin with, was he? You only spent time together on the 18th floor and in war games and stuff."

"Hmm—, that's true... But Argonauts are Argonauts... They should be with Ais, and with us..."

She began to mumble.

That cheerful, innocent girl who speaks her mind about everything is now unusually indecisive.

However, Tiona, who was unable to clearly express her feelings, soon smiled as cheerfully as usual.

"Oh well! I'll go check out the little hero of Argonauts too!"

"Why did it turn out like that...?"

Without a second thought, she ran off innocently, her steps light and quick, intending to hug the boy from behind.

However, the dark elf and the four dwarf quadruplets stood in her way as if they would not allow any interference with the girl Hill's rendezvous, and Tione also got involved, causing a commotion, but that's another matter.

The fact that the dark elves and dwarves allowed the girl Hill and her companions to escape due to their conflict with the Amazon sisters is another matter entirely.

Ryukyu wavered.

"Ah. Hill...! A young woman linking arms with a man's arm...!"

While repeatedly blushing and turning red in the ears, he secretly followed the girl Hill and the boy Bell.

Beside her, Anya, Lunoa, and Chloe were all excitedly saying things like, "Sheele is serious, meow! That's the look of a cat catching mice, meow!" "She's clearly looking forward to a chance encounter with the [Sword Princess], and the 'Oh, a love triangle' scenario!" "Sheele is definitely a witch, meow!"

On the first day of the Goddess Festival, the "Hill Dating Watch Operation," based on the bountiful mistress, is still ongoing.

(If we get that close, Hill's chest will...! Ah, as expected, Bell is blushing too! How indecent! Neither Bell nor Hill is indecent!! If I were in the same position, I would never do such a thing...!)

Just as Ryu was fretting over Hill's audacious actions (Note: Fairy Standard), that happened.

"Whoa! Hill actually hugged her!"

"Varied--!"

Just as Lunoa had cleverly whispered, Hill hugged Bell from the front.

If it were the normal Ryu, she would have noticed the girl whispering in the boy's ear about "what kind of deal it is." Unfortunately, she was not the calm and collected fairy Ryu Lyon she usually was.

Right in the middle of the street! In full view of everyone! A man and a woman embracing!

Obscene and obscene! How shameless!

Even I, Ryu, was merely pressing my skin against Bell's for warmth—

"—Aaaaaaaahh ...

I did even more shameful things in the 'deep' layers of the dungeon!

Even though it was an emergency, the fact that they were practically naked and embracing each other has created a situation where Bell has no choice but to take responsibility!

Images of Alize, beaming and giving a thumbs-up, and Kaguya and Lyra, grinning lewdly, flashed through my mind!

"What is Ryu doing, meow?"

"Useless person"

"She's just a useless little devil."

Anya tilted her head at Ryu, who had squatted down and covered her flushed cheeks with her hands, while Lunoa and Chloe casually offered their answers in the comments.

Grabbing the fairy by the collar—who would likely roll around in shame if left unattended—Lunova and her companions continued to stalk the girl Hill and the boy Bell while dragging them along.

Sword Oratoria BD Bonus BD1: The Adventure of the Little People Part 1

Translation: Zhu Jiu

Dim is a smart kid.

He possessed memories from the moment he was born. He remembered everything, from being held in his mother's arms to his father's obsequious manner towards the other ethnic groups in the village.

Dim is a dwarf.

Shorter and weaker than all other races, they are the subhuman race with the lowest potential. They are often mocked and exploited. In the mountain villages where many races live together, the dwarfs are the weak. From the moment Dimna was born, his fellow dwarfs were constantly subjected to all sorts of unreasonable demands from the villagers.

The intelligent Tim despised his parents, who never spoke up even when they were fooled and were occasionally robbed.

He despised his father and mother, who laughed and belittled themselves as if they had given up everything simply because they were of the Lilliputian race.

Why not rack your brains?

Why should someone submit to another simply because they are bigger?

Why not confront them head-on like in "The Fictional Goddess Fiana"?

Not only his own parents, but also his other compatriots who had been huddled together were in the same situation, which infuriated Dimna.

Among the Lilliputians, only Dimna showed no weakness towards villagers of other races. He had repeatedly stolen rare books from the village chief's house to greedily expand his knowledge. World history, the world outside the village, and even the legends of heroes, which began with the fictional goddess Fiana, all happened during that period. The village chief, discovering that he had read hundreds and thousands of books, described him as "almost like a sage." Occasionally, he would display his intelligence in ways that astonished the villagers. Although a small number of them called him arrogant and even beat him, he endured it all with disdain.

He considered himself different from his parents, whom he couldn't bear to look at. He was different from his fellow countrymen.

A mixture of disgust and pride drove the still-young boy to continue his rebellion against the fate of his race.

Time flies, and Tim turned ten.

He nearly lost his life.

Monsters lurking in the mountains attacked under the cover of night. Fires blazed across the village as adults of other races fought desperately, while Dimna raced against his fear. Ignoring his parents' warnings, he ran around trying to put out the fires and help the bullies and girls who had been trying to harass him escape. As if they were ancient heroes, deified and worshipped as goddesses, he mustered his courage and rallied.

However, the emotions of the young dwarfs could not be called "courage," nor even reckless courage.

That's why the monster's sharp teeth were aimed right at his face.

The wisdom he had acquired made him arrogant, which led to his downfall. He was enslaved by his own petty pride and failed to recognize his own abilities. Even the most learned can be overturned by foolish violence, a lesson Dimna learned firsthand at that time.

then.

The ones who protected Dimna from being torn apart by the jaw were his father and mother. The parents, their teeth piercing through him, stood up to protect their child.

Meanwhile, the Lilliputians abandoned Dimna and his parents, scattering in all directions. Dimna saw the despair of the Lilliputians in their fleeing brethren.

Conversely, in the parents who stood up to protect their child from monsters far larger than themselves, they saw the hope of the little people called "courage".

Through tears-blurred vision, in the figures of her parents, pierced by claws and lying in a pool of blood, she saw the 'light' of her race.
