Evan D. Sherden, Goes on An Expedition (2)

Whew.

He dipped his body deep in the bath, and it made such a soundthe feeling of melting his body into the warm bath.

When he raised his head, he would see the surrounding landscape beyond the wide-open view. It was an unusual experience that he couldnt enjoy in a closed bathhouse.

Now Evan was enjoying the open bath.

The hot spring feels different from the bathhouse. I like it

Master, you are so great.

Raihan, who entered the bath a little later, shook his head and said. When Evan looked at him, asking what he meant, he immediately replied.

The Dungeon. Weve heard that explorers have all died on the 7th floor, but I dont know how youre so calm.

Oh, that. Honestly, I was even more surprised that the sixth floor had already been cleared.

Evan remembered the structure of the dungeon that had appeared in the game.

Apparently, up to the third floor, there were monsters easy to handle. But from the fourth floor, stronger monsters like in the Sherden Dungeons depth began to appear, especially with flame-like traps. So, explorers who attacked the dungeon had to pay more attention to the abnormal state of boiling flames and the monster threat.

And if we go to the sixth floor, there are already monsters that appear above the 60th floor of the Sherden Dungeon Sherden had re-opened, and some guilds of some strong men did not come back. I thought they went back to Pellati. However, it was my misunderstanding. Everyone was buried here.

Is it that this place is so attractive to them?

If the difficulty is serious, the reward is high. This dungeon has an attractive reward from the third floor to every floor after. That was enough to attract those who missed the Sherden Dungeon.

This dungeon would have been a challenging place, with tremendous rewards on each floor for explorers looking for alternatives to the Sherden Dungeon.

Why was the reward on every floor? The number of floors that could be reached had increased by one floor each time the series was updated. In Yo-Ma Great War 1, the third floor was the best, and that was why the compensation started from the third floor.

Yo-Ma Great War 4 is open to the sixth floor, and now it is open to at least the seventh floor. Would it have affected my work with the witches and my encounter with Default, the Yo-Ma Great War 5s protagonist? No, thats ridiculous.

Such reasoning did not make sense. A game was just a game. He was not sure yet, but he thought he could see the end of this dungeon this time.

If the end of the seventh floor were blocked, it would only be a breakthrough. It was not a game, so it was possible!

Raihan shrugged his shoulders and leaned his back against the wall, as Evan was determined and shining his eyes.

It looks like youre looking forward to it.

Thats right. I dont know from the 7th floor. This dungeon transfer will probably be an exploration that can objectively understand our current skills.

There was no word more exciting than unknown. If the unknown promised less risky and more rewards, it was more possible.

Evan heard that all the explorers were killed on the 7th floor, but he didnt change his mind. Their deaths were unfortunate, but they just paid the price for not knowing the place, to be honest.

No matter how dangerous the dungeon was, there was no way that a party composed of members who could face the Four Heavenly Kings three years ago could not breakthrough. He was not self-confident, but thought so based on data.

But Hannah and Serpina seemed very nervous when they heard what the innkeeper said earlier.

Im sorry, but I cant take the two to the dungeon. They dont have enough ability.

When Evan said it firmly, Raihan nodded as if he had already expected it.

I didnt mean to take them either. Its just that when I start worrying about them, theres no end.

Maybe theyre always concerned about your position to deal with the enemys attack. You comfort them well.

Well eat breakfast tomorrow and leave in a leisurely manner, so take your time throughout tonight.

Master.

They have come for that anyway.

Im in trouble

Raihan, whose face was wholly flushed by Evans lousy joke, dived into the bath.

You should be ashamed of yourself, Master Argh!

Huh!

Evan giggled and laughed, and Raihan rarely played a joke on him. It was already evening when he avoided Raihans attack, fought back, and enjoyed the open-air bath.

* * *

After enjoying the bath all afternoon, Evan and Raihan had dinner with the female members.

However, he could feel what had happened in the bath, and the eyes of the female members kept looking at Mirole strangely.

Well Master.

Serpina, holding a glass of cold bubble beer in her hand, approached carefully and whispered.

That Elf Shes huge.

What?

Body!

Mirole was usually brutal. However, the girls were shocked by her nakedness, though they were all females.

Elves were different from humans. She had a heterogeneous slender waist with a long stretch of legs.

On top of that, Mirole had a matured body. So, it was not enough to just say she had an ideal body. Serpina looked particularly hazy at that.

So, you should have exercised harder instead of drinking beer or something. If you did, the fat that landed on your belly would have gone to your breast and buttocks.

I cant copy her body no matter how much I exercise! And I dont have belly fat!

Serpina screamed at Evans pitiful gaze at her. Still, it was cute to see her slowly putting down a glass of beer in her hand to see if there was something stale.

Thats not what I want to say Not all the Elves are like that. Illoin is amazing, but she wasnt that much like Mirole.

Thats because the Elves are different. Its like a human being.

Evan, speaking casually and shrugging his shoulders. Serpinas eyes narrowed as she looked at Evan.

Thats not what I want to say Maybe shes a special Elf.

Just because she is in good shape?

Evan was sick to the core, but he answered it calmly without revealing it. Serpina, who was deceived well, knocked on her breast as if she was frustrated.

No, she is different! Gosh, you should have seen her naked body, Master. The aura is different. The aura.

It would have been bad if I saw it myself.

Such a love comedy-like story could not and should not happen to Evan. While Miroles eyes were already bothering him, he could not allow unhealthy kinship.

Naked body.

He quickly shook off his delusional image that came to mind. He didnt dare to defile the Yo-Ma Great War Zeros heroine even in his head.

Whether she knew Evans complicated thoughts, Mirole was still staring at him.

Maybe she didnt like the friendly conversation with Serpina, but No, it must be a misunderstanding.

Then, is she a normal Elf?

I dont think she is normal in terms of Elves. Dont worry about that; just finish your drinks. We need to accumulate more fat in the abdomen to prepare for a tough winter.

Wow Raihan! Master Evan is bothering me!

Evan, who repelled Serpina with a realistic attack, sighed and opened his mouth.

Everyone listens while eating. Were going to eat breakfast tomorrow and take a break before going to the dungeon. Diona, Hannah, Serpina, wait outside as you promised. Were going into the dungeon with a five-member party.

Okay.

The goal is to secure the core of the dungeon. There are a lot of traps and monsters with flame properties. So, Im thinking of giving out a position to resist them in advance. It would be best if you prepared yourself personally. Thats all.

While Hannah and Serpina were more anxious to hear Evans words, the members of Astray, including Raihan, who had already heard about Evan in the bath, just nodded calmly. It was because Evan had the ability and faith in accurate judgment.

Then, Ill go first.

As soon as Evan got up from his seat after the notice, fierce checks were exchanged among the female members.

The exchange of those short-lived glances!

One of them was Diona, who was the maid of Evan. She was the first to act boldly.

Master, Ill serve you

Diona, you should get some rest today.

But I need to serve you tea

Im going to bed early, so its okay.

Evan stopped her without giving her any chance! Members got more anxious when they heard Evan would go to bed early.

Evan only hoped that each other would stick in check and not do anything, but things couldnt be solved quickly.

Eventually, Evan instructed Belois, as usual, to set up security magic that prevented everyone from accessing his room carelessly. It will help naturally

May I come in for a while, Master?

Lua Yes, come in.

Then Excuse me.

Only Belois was free to enter his room.

Evan knew that, but he decided that Belois was better than Diona, Arisha, and Mirole.

Whats going on, Lua?

I thought Id clean your ears.

But he guessed it wasnt like that either. Evans eyes narrowed when Belois, who had walked softly, sat on the edge of the bed and patted her knees.

Now?

Yes, now.

Others would have noticed that Belois was headed to Evans room, but why would she attempt a provocation by acting at this time?

It was not a day or two for Belois, who was usually calm, to show her love for Evan. The biggest challenge was that Evan also didnt dislike her that much.

Well Then Ill ask you.

Huh

When Evan laid his head on her lap; Belois couldnt resist and smiled satisfactorily. Evan could see her pride in achievement that came from being chosen by Evan over her competitors.

Then Ill get started.

Yes, please.

Evan could roughly guess why Belois took such bold action.

Mirole had suddenly appeared and tried to get close to Evan, and Louise, who showed a strange obsession with Evans relationship. Lua might consider them as her rivals and get anxious. It was pretty standard.

I should have paid more attention to her before she got nervous.

It was an excuse that he had been too busy to care for her. He should have shown more as much as he liked, but he didnt.

Evan felt guilty about it, but Belois now seemed content that Evan had accepted her. She had always been like that.

How do you feel?

Okay, as usual.

Phew

Beloiss breath tickled his ears, which had been dug out and cleaned. Evan turned around for her to clean his other ear. Beloiss white apron dress was seen to him.

Do you want to see inside?

I miss it, but Ill hold it in.

Youre honest.

I decided to be honest today.

Huh

Belois smiled again. But the gesture of clearing ears was still very polite.

Master, you have to take care of Miss Arisha, too.

From that point of view, it was clear that there had been some compromise and negotiations before Belois entered Evans room without bloodshed. Evan said with a small nod while she stopped cleaning.

I will, but Ill just think about you for now.

I dont want you to say that. My heart might explode.

Im similar, so lets count as a tie.

Hahaha.

Belois smiled again. He would be glad this relieved her anxiety a bit. As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt Belois bending over and hugging him warmly.

Ill be like this for a little while, just a little

You can stay.

I cant because I cant stand it.

Are you seducing me?

Belois did not answer the question and just held him still.

If she answered, Evan would have been in trouble. So, he decided to stay still in Belois arms for the time being.
