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

Page 769

Raul: "Uh... that was when I was 13, and she... was 8, I think."

Rafia: "8...8 years old!"

Raul's age was not the only factor; in addition, he reached Lv.2 in just one year, which made him an extraordinary newcomer at the time and a hot topic.

Lefia (New, rookie adventurer, Ais-chan, 8 years old!)

(Transition, into delusion)

Raul: "Then I'll leave it to you, Lefia, to watch the house with Ais-chan."

Lefia: "Okay~!"

Lefia: "Miss Ais~, oh no, Ais-chan~, let's watch the house together, sister!"

Ais: "Ah, Lefia... Sister?"

Lefia (Guaha...) (accompanied by the sound effect of being struck by a sword)

Ais: "What's wrong? Sister Lefia?"

Lefia: "N-nothing, just a little nosebleed... cough cough. So, what should we do before everyone comes back?"

Ais: "Hmm..."

Lefia: "Let's play house!"

Ais is "pretending to be a trainee!"

Lefia: "What?!"

Ais: "I want to pretend to be a trainee!...Is that not allowed?"

Lefia: "Sure, no problem at all!"

Ais: "Then I'll pretend to be the swordsman. Lefia is a monster, you know."

Lefia: "Monster... I understand. Then... Gaaa! I'm going to eat you!"

Ais: "Hey~, I won't lose! Take this, Miniature Gale Lil Rafaga!"

Lefia: "Ah~, I've been taken down..."

Ais: "Seriously! Sister Lefia, get serious!"

Lefia: "I can't do it! I'm too happy! I can't do that! New adventurer, Ais-chan, 8 years old—!"

(Transition)

Lefia: "Hehe, hehehe, Ais-chan, 8 years old. Even at 7, she's hard to part with."

Elfi: "Hey~, Lefia, come back quickly~"

Raul: "By the way, this state is called 'daydreaming', I think."

Lefia: "?! What...did I do?"

Raul: "Ah, you're back."

"Lefia, are you alright? You're drooling." Elfi asked.

Lefia: "No, no, how could it have leaked out! Now, let's continue. What were Miss Tiona and Miss Tione like back then?"

Raul "blatantly changed the subject."

"Alright, alright, Mr. Raul. Let's just turn a blind eye to this."

"Mr. Raul is older than Miss Tiona and the others, right? So you've been addressing them with respectful titles from the very beginning?" Lefia asked.

Raul: "I suppose so. Let's put Miss Tiona aside for now, but Miss Tione is absolutely terrifying."

Alfie: "Mr. Raul, he really is a good-for-nothing."

Lefia: "Hahaha... But, is Miss Tione really that scary? She's definitely terrifying when she's being scolded, but she's not so scary otherwise..."

Raul: "No, no, no, no, it wasn't like this when we first met! She's much gentler now than before."

Lefia: "Eh? Miss Tione? What's it like?"

Raul: "I can't forget it, no matter how hard I try, it was when we first met..."

(Entering a flashback)

Tione: "Hey, you insignificant human over there! I'm talking to you, you!"

Raul: "Huh?! Uh, ah, are you calling me?"

Tiony: "Where is there a man more insignificant than you?"

Raul: "N-nothing...uh...I remember you should be the newly joined Tiona Sylvie, right?"

Tione: "It's Tione! Don't compare me to that stupid little sister, or I'll beat you up!"

Raul: "Uh...oh, I'm so sorry, I made a mistake! Please forgive me!"

Tione: "Seriously, what a joke! What's going on with this kin! The chief god is a lecher, and the headquarters is like a castle where you can easily get lost. All these people down there are infuriating! That werewolf, I'll definitely kill him next time!"

Raul (What did you do to such a terrible person... Mr. Bert?)

Raul: "Um... Miss Tione? We're already from the same clan, so we should get along well with everyone... That's what I'm thinking."

Tiony: "Are you expecting me to be all lovey-dovey and hand-in-hand with those infuriating guys?! Of course, I'll take on this challenge when it comes knocking!"

Raul: "Ah, no, no, so, let's say it's more peaceful..."

Tione: "Huh?! If you were a man, wouldn't hand-to-hand combat be just what you want?! Do you even deserve to be called a man with a penis?!"

Raul said, "I brought it with me, although I did... but I'm sorry!"

Raul (an Amazonian, incredibly terrifying)

Tione: "Really, they shouldn't have come! This kind of clan..."

Raul: "Uh... well... is there something you need from me?"

Tiony: "Um... well... how should I put it, it's just..."

Raul: "Hmm?... "

Tiony: "Where is that guy?"

Raul: "That guy?"

Tione: "That's the guy! The short one, looks clean-cut, but incredibly strong. The blond little man."

Raul: "Ah~, you mean the commander?"

Tiony: "That's him! Where is that captain now?"

Raul: "Uh, I'm not really sure either."

Tione: "Is that so? Then... tell me your name."

Raul: "My name? My name is Raul Nord..."

Tione: "I wasn't asking you! I was talking about that dwarf race!"

Raul: "I'm so sorry. The commander's name is Finn, Finn Dimna."

Tiony: "Finn...Finn...Dimna"

Raul: "Ah...could it be...that I've fallen for the commander?"

Tione: "Huh?! No way! Absolutely not! There's no way that could happen! How could I possibly like that cowardly little man... But, didn't he beat me? He was so kind to someone like me, just looking at him makes my heart flutter, and..."

Raul (Ah~, the captain's fans have increased again).

Tione: "And he's so cute and handsome, I just want to hug him... Hey, you jerk, what did you make me say! I'll beat you up!"

Raul: "Huh?! Why did it suddenly flare up?! Wait, calm down... Aaaaaaah!"

(Transition)

Raul: "That's exactly how it feels."

Elfi: "Ugh, it's definitely different now."

Lefia: "Yes, Miss Tione could never have imagined that. But how did their relationship improve after that?"

Raul thought, "It really is because we went on the expedition together. No matter how strong Miss Tione and the others are, they can't solo in the dungeon, and they gained recognition through teamwork."

Elfie: "Ah~, is that it? After our initial misunderstanding, you looked up at the sunset and said, 'Hmph, not bad, Lefie.'"

Lefia: "'You too, Elfi.' Ah, what have you made me say?!"

Raul: "And then there's this, I guess I should say it's love for the captain or something. Anyway, it's because of the captain that I started correcting my way of speaking and attitude, which is why I've become like this. Although when I get angry, I still revert to my old ways..."

Lefia: "I see."

"By the way, how are Miss Tione and Mr. Raul getting along these days?" Elfi asked.

Raul: "Eh? Now? Hmm... judging from last night's situation..."

(Entering a flashback)

Tiony: "Raul, Raul, come here quickly!"

Raul: "Hmm, what is it, Miss Tione?"

Tione: "Alright, alright, come here. You... you went to take a bath with the captain, didn't you?"

Raul: "Yes, Mr. Grace is with us too."

Tione: "Gris or whatever! The important thing is the captain, the captain! Tell me all sorts of things!"

Raul: "Eh, what do you mean by 'various kinds'?"

Tione: "Various kinds, just various kinds, like the captain naked. How smooth is his skin? The color of his navel? The number of moles? Haa... haa..."

Raul: "A belly button? A mole? Seriously, Miss Tione is terrifying, really, terrifying, terrifying, terrifying..."

Tione: "Huh?! You think the captain's mole is scary?! I'll beat you up!"

Raul: "I didn't say that! Ugh, ahhhhhh!"

(Transition)

Raul: "That's how it feels."

Elfi: "Miss Tione has completely turned into a pervert... oh no, I mean, into a young girl."

Lefia: "The last part is pretty much the same as before..."

"Then... was Miss Tiona different before and different now?" Elfi asked.

Raul: "Miss Tiona... No, she hasn't changed much."

Lefia: "Hehe, I can imagine that."

Elfi: "Hmm, Miss Tiona, how should I put it, she's always been like a bright sun."

Raul first encountered that person right after Miss Tione gave him a sound beating...
