第１０７掘：すいませんでしたっ！！
**Dungeon 107: I’m Sorry!!**
**I’m Sorry!!**
**Side: Yuki**
"Hup."
Landing successful.
I can move surprisingly well.
It’s been a while since I’ve used my main body, so I was worried, but there don't seem to be any issues.
"Oops, Call Seraria."
I saw that scene play out; I need to explain things to Seraria properly.
...
……
………
?
"Huh? Is she busy? Then Eris will do. Call Eris."
『Yuki-san!! Are you alright!! Don’t worry, everyone is heading your way immediately!! We’ll execute that idiot princess right away!!』
Wait.
Has this become a major incident?
『We’ll also put the Hero to the sword immediately!! Don’t die!!』
"Wait, stop!! Can you hear me!? Can you hear me!? Please make the princess thing a performance!! And the Hero is just acting, okay!! Listen, this is going to become an international incident!!"
Huh, what did I do wrong?
My being blown away had to look like acting, right?
"Call Labyris!! Get out here!! I have a bad feeling about this!! Come out, Labyris!!"
『Yuki, are you okay!? Wait there, I’m going to chop that woman’s head off and come to you!!』
『Brotherrr!! Are you alright!!』
『Big brother!! *Hic*, *sob*, I don’t want this!! I don’t want you to disappear!!』
『Big brother, *hic*, ah, waaaaah!!』
『Big bro, big bro... where are you, *sob*』
"Calm down, there are circumstances involved, so just pretend that princess thing is an act!! It’s a performance!! It’s bad to beat her up right now!!"
『I-insolent fool!! Do you think you can do this to a princess of Ranks, which conquered three countries in an instant, and get away with it?! Hey!! What are the Royal Guards doing? Finish off that monster and cut that little girl down!!』
*Hiiieee!?*
Is the princess provoking them?!
『Steve!! Take their heads immediately...』
"Don't show blood during a festival!! Calm down, I’m begging you. Please, just calm down!!"
『But, but!! Yuki was!!』
"I’m fine, so!! I’ll do anything you say, so!!"
『...Anything?』
Hm?
Did I step on a landmine?
"Y-yes!! Anything!! Please, just treat it as an act and detain the princess and her faction!!"
『...Understood. *Sigh*, now, did you all see that? The defensive power and the strength of the monsters within my dungeon!! This time, we present this with the cooperation of the famously strong Ranks...』
Good!!
As expected of Labyris.
She really does rummage through my memories.
She’s quick on her feet.
If she says it like that, they’re being apprehended, and they’ll have no choice but to claim it was an act to save face.
"Err, it looks like things are okay now."
Did the Hero arrive?
"Well, yeah. I’m not so frail that I’d go down from something like that."
"Damn, I wanted that kind of cheat power too."
"I wonder. Even so, it seems the memories of those involved have been erased... or rather, it’s as if it never happened."
"Ugh!? Is that for real!? Then there’s no point in me going back!?"
"Ah, I wasn't summoned as a Hero, so I don't think that applies to me."
"R-really? Ah, I’m sorry. My name is Taiki Nakazato."
"Oh, I’m Kazuya Torino. Is that your actual age?"
"What do you mean? Could it be... Torino-san, are you..."
"Yeah, I’m 25. Before, anyway."
"Man, this world is just a mess."
We both share a bitter smile.
Just then, I see Seraria and the others heading toward us.
"Ah, crap!? Taiki-kun, defend yourself!!"
"Huh?"
"Don't 'huh' me!! You laid a hand on the representative of this dungeon, so block it!! If you don't, you'll die!!"
"No way—!?"
Taiki-kun hurriedly draws his sword.
"If you hurt my wives, I’ll kill you!!"
"Wait!! Wives!? Is this a harem!!"
"Good, if you have the composure to say that, you’ll be fine. Just endure until I can persuade them!!"
I’m primarily a magic-user; if I deploy a defensive barrier, they’ll probably give up soon.
I told Taiki-kun that, but my wives can’t break through this barrier, so it’ll be fine...
"YUKIIIIIIII!! OOOOOOOOOOOOH!!"
First, Deryu leads the charge, blowing away five layers of the barrier in one go.
"YUKI-SAAAAAAAN!!!"
Milly flows forward, breaking two layers with her twin swords and cracking the rest.
"...Wait for me, I’ll save you right away!!"
Kaya uses the magic I taught her in tandem with her staff, destroying three more layers.
"I’m coming right away!! Heroooo, don’t think you’ll die easilyyyy!!"
"Hii!?"
Riel easily slices through four layers with her short sword.
Yeah, I won't blame Taiki-kun for screaming.
I’m scared too.
"Yuki-san!! You’re so battered!! I won’t forgive you!! Aaaaaaaah!!"
Tori breaks through the remaining six layers with her sword.
Wait!?
I added improvements to that; it’s a 20-layer super barrier.
How can everyone who couldn't break the barrier before suddenly break through it now?!
"Get away from my brother, you piece of trash!!"
Ratz imbues her spear with magic and throws it.
Straight at Taiki-kun.
"Wait a second—!?"
As expected of a Hero.
He blocked a throw from Ratz, who is level 232.
Even with a 100-level difference, he’s a Hero for a reason!!
"I won't die hereeeee!!"
Yeah, I get the desperate tone.
It wouldn't be worth it if he died from something like this.
He manages to deflect the trajectory of the spear.
Impressive.
I thought about applauding, but...
"Die."
Quietly, without a sound, Seraria appeared in a stance to draw her blade.
Ah, crap.
"Eh?"
Taiki-kun is frozen after deflecting the spear.
He hasn't even reacted to Seraria.
Her honed sword-drawing technique closes in on Taiki-kun’s neck.
"D-damn iiiiiit!!"
I hurriedly use the sword techniques I’ve been training with to suppress Seraria’s draw.
It’s true that magic is my main focus.
But that doesn't mean I can’t fight in close quarters.
" " "Eh?" " "
With that, the wives stop.
Surprised by my close-quarters combat.
I’d never shown them my full-power melee fighting before.
What I showed them before was just me matching their pace.
*Sigh*, why does my trump card have to be revealed to my own family first?
Isn't this supposed to be revealed in a cool way during a desperate boss fight?
I need to think of another way.
"Eh, eh? You have the same sword? No way. If you’d told me, I would have taught you. Honestly."
Seraria is holding my hand along with the sword, comparing it to her own and looking delighted.
...I used my trump card to protect the Hero.
*Sigh*, but I guess it’s fine.
Now I can proceed with the conversation...
"...So? Do you have anything to say for yourself, Husband?"
"Oh, Rurua came too. Why are you angry?"
"Why did you have to go out in your main bodyyyyy!!"
"I’m sorrrrryyyyy!!"
With Rurua’s scream, I finally understood what the biggest problem was.
No, but, even if Aslin’s body was a fake, you’d go if something like that happened, right?
Right?
It’s just a reflex.
It happens, doesn't it?
No?
I’m sorry.
