Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka volume 1 Read online
Prologue: Is it Wrong to Expect for Encounters in the Dungeon?
There is a seemingly infinite dungeon with many and many floors. Inside there are a variety of heinous monsters.
I, together with those adventurers seeking fame and fortune and risking their own lives, registered my own name at the guild, and then began to adventure.
With a sword in my own hand and swiftly emerge abruptly. Then in the end, I would have an encounter with a girl that has been attacked by those monsters.
Endless Screams. The monster’s savage roars. Just in the nick of time, suddenly the sound of a swift and sharp sword, piercing through the air, would emerge.
The monster was defeated. What was left was the beautiful girl remaining seated on the ground, while I stand gloriously.
Her cheeks would be slightly dyed red, and in those beautiful, tearful eyes, what was projected was only my appearance. A faint love will awaken in her heart.
At times I would talk to the cute shop personnel in a restaurant about my adventures that day, forming a closer relationship.
At times I would protect a female elf from savage adventurers.
At times I would also lend assistance to the Amazon warriors when they were in trouble, forming a party together to adventure.
At times I would get too close towards a girl,and the other girls that witnessed it would be jealous.
At times At times At times At times……
This was a completely normal way of thinking for a male child, who grew up aspiring towards the heroic adventure.
Wanting to have a closer relationship with cute girls. Wanting to interact with beautiful ladies from a different race.
Holding to this somewhat improper, or perhaps immature thoughts. Isn’t this a normal personality for a young male?
Can’t I have an encounter in the dungeon, correction, search for a harem, is this really wrong?
Conclusion:
I was completely wrong.
“Wuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah”
“Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah”
I guess this is the result for an adventurer like me who is holding such improper and immature thoughts. I, am about to die.
To be more precise, I am currently being chased by a monster with a human body and a bull’s head, a “Minotaur”.
This monster was completely immune to my attacks, who was only level 1. I was about to be eaten by it.
I entered a dead end. That’s right, I was at death’s door.
So this is my fate for being obsessed with such a shallow delusion, becoming a monster’s food, I am such a fool.
I am such a fool for expecting a fateful encounter.
The idea of becoming rich and getting a crowd of wives and concubines was naturally just a dream.
At the instant when I first began to prepare and search for an encounter in the dungeon where numerous people die daily, I was already finished.
Ah, I really want to go back! Go back to the time and punch the me, who had just become of age and was signing the registration document with sparking eyes at the guild.
No matter from what physical angle or from the angle of my fate, these things were already impossible.
“Vuumun”
“Huh”?
The Minotaur’s hoof.
Although it did not directly kick my back, every step it takes crushes the earth,so even the location where I was standing was being affected by the impacts.
I wasn’t able to stand still and could only roll around the floor of the dungeon.
“Fuuah”
“Uwaaaaah”
I would actually be sitting on the floor, when my life tragically ends.
The wish of encountering cute girls would be completely destroyed. Looks like from the very beginning, I did not have the qualifications to become a hero from the fairy tales.
My back hit the wall. There was no path to retreat.
It passed through dozens of paths and finally managed to chase after me. Forcing me into this square-shaped space.
(Ah…! I’m dead.)
My teeth constantly chattered, tears also flowed down in torrents.
My own skin could completely feel the deep and heavy breath exuded from the Minotaur.
Raising my head and staring at the muscular body that was one to two times larger than me. As if I completely gave up, my face expressed an completely disgusting slight smile.
——In the end, I did not have an encounter with a girl.
Just as my unrepenting brain spouted these incorrigible thoughts that drove me to my death, the Minotaur that was slowly waving his hoof appeared in front of my eyes.
In the next instant, a line passed through the monster’s body.
“Eeeh?”
“Vuo”
Those were the dumb sounds issued by me and the Minotaur.
The flowing line did not just pass through the body, it also ran through the thick chest, hoof, then the upper wrist, thighs, lower body, shoulders and finally ran to the next, all in one go.
At the end, I could only see a silver light.
The result was, the monster that I completely could not phase, instantly turned into pieces of meat.
“Gubuh?!Vuaaaaaaaah….”
Painful screams echoed throughout the room before its death.
Following the carved lines, the Minotaur’s body also fell down in parts. Along with the blood spraying out, the dark red liquid gushed out, it completely collapsed in the next moment.
A large amount of blood spattered onto my body, as if I had taken a shower. I was completely frozen stiff.
“Are you alright”?
What came after the bull-headed monster was a girl that could have been mistaken for a goddess.
Her slender body was wrapped in blue lightweight armor.
The flexible limbs, that extended out from her clothes, were also dazzlingly beautiful.
Considering her slim soft body, her chest was abnormally filled based on my opinion. Wearing an emblem on her silver breastplate, and the same colored gloves and accessories also bore an emblem. Blood was trickling down from the tip of her sword that was pointing to the ground.
Her blond hair extended straight down to her shoulders, it held a shine that would not lose to a large amount of golden treasures.
On top of having a body that other females would be jealous of, she had a very cute baby face that everyone would like.
The color of her eyes , that looked at me, was also golden.
(……)
——A blonde swordsman wrapped in blue equipment with golden eyes.
Even I, who was still only a Level 1 and a novice adventurer, knew who the person in front of me was.
It was a top adventurer belonging to the
Among the human, no, even among the females of all the races, she would be considered to be one of the strongest as a Level 5.
“Excuse me….are you alright?”
I’m not alright.
I’m not alright at all.
To my heart that was currently constantly jumping, as if it was about to shatter, you cannot consider it alright at all.
My cheeks were dyed red, and the tearful eyes that were projecting the figure of the other party, a faint…no, a strong love was awakening.
My wild ideas became real, the roles were reversed, and my thoughts had reached the summit.
At that moment, she had stolen my heart.
Was asking for a chance encounter in the dungeon wrong?
Re-conclusion:
I was definitely not wrong.
Chapter 1: The World, Reality and Aspirations
“Einaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Eh?”
As a window receptionist of the dungeon management, Eina Tulle shifted her focus from the book in her hand and lifted up her head.
She had a pair of slender pointy ears and clear emerald-colored eyes. Her shoulder-length brown hair had a beautiful sheen. This beautiful appearance is not the same type as the elves that seemed to be pure and flawless, but rather a natural type. She was wearing a guild uniform on her slim body, a black top pants of the same color, making her extremely beautiful.
Her disposition as a professional woman made others feel that she was quite approachable. The truth is that this young female was a mix between a human and an elf.
As a receptionist, her afternoon wasn’t too busy since the adventurers were basically all inside the dungeon at that time. So there will be some spare time for her to read books. She lifted her head and noticed who had called her.
(Looks like he was safe today as well…)
It was something that occurred almost two weeks ago.
At that time, that young boy, with shining eyes, came to the guild to go through the procedures.
She was acting as an adviser for dungeon strategy. That boy was still only 14 years old, and although “Adventurer” is a job that did not ask for race, nor their gender and age, but in this profession, many people die accidentally. At his age, he is still a child. But he deliberately rushed into such a dangerous area and she did not know what expression she gave him at that time.
Maybe it was because she was responsible for him, but Eina missed that kid from time to time. When she confirmed that the boy was still alive, her face eased slightly. She remembered that he was called Bell Cranel.
She lifted up her glasses and turned her head towards the source of the voice.
“Einaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
A figure of a boy covered with black blood appeared in her field of vision.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”
“Please tell me Aizu Wallenstein’s information!”
× × ×
“Bell-kun, you… If you are stained with blood when you return, you should at least first take a shower…”
“Sorry…”
Listening to Eina, I bowed down my head in embarrassment.
We are currently inside a small room that is separated specially within the guild hall.
Eina and I sat facing each other and were separated by a table.
On the opposite of me, who had just cleaned up his body, Eina apparently sighed.
“You actually were able to bring that bloody smell and absolutely horrifying appearance directly across the streets from the dungeon to here. I really have doubts about your brain.”
“About this.”
After that was said by the beautiful Eina, my heart seemed to have been stabbed by a knife. Tears also emerged in my eyes.
Eina gave a wry smile, pointed a finger at my nose, smiled and said: “You should pay better attention next time, okay?” Yes Yes, I nodded heavily.
“Also next is… you just said you wanted information about Aizu Wallenstein right. Why?”
“Mm, about this…”
My face flushed before I explained the thing.
I had dashed down to the fifth floor from the second floor where I usually stayed.
The instant that I had entered I met a Minotaur and was being chased by it.
Just when I was forced into a dead end, I was saved by the
At the time I was still very unstable, and just when I was preparing to say my thanks, the instant I saw she held out her hand, my head went blank —— A swelling sense of shame and nervousness confused me —— and I immediately rushed away at full speed.
While listening beside me, Eina’s appearance changed more and more as she followed my words.
“—— Ah, why did you not follow what I said! You not only entered the dungeon by yourself, but you also stubbornly went to the lower floors! Didn’t I tell you many times? Taking risks is absolutely, ABSOLUTELY, not allowed!”
“Yesss…”
————
This was Eina’s opening statement. Although judging from the text it may seem contradictory, but its true meaning is that
Especially for a newcomer like me, it is something that I must always bear in mind, because this stage is where the most deaths occur in an adventurer’s career.
Meeting a LV. 2 Minotaur on the fifth floor is something that no one can imagine.
From common knowledge, this monster should only come out from the fifteenth floor or below. Eina said this had a feeling of “Did something happen in the dungeon.”
…Really. If that person did not exist, the me right now would have already died. Just by imagining this, my spine trembled, followed by a strong feeling of urinating.
I swore to my heart that I would absolutely never forget about the things that Eina had mentioned.
“Fuu…Seems like you always have a fantasy regarding the dungeon. What you did today, I guess that is also the reason right?”
“Ah ha ha…”
Correct. I wanted to pursue an encounter with the opposite gender so I wanted to take a little bit of risk…But if I directly said it out, I will surely be hit.
Originally, I wanted to become an adventurer only because I had always had an aspiration of having an encounter with beautiful girls I have never seen before —— Kind of like those hero comics where they have a fateful encounter——The motive was really that impure. Even when I was going through the procedures in the guild, Eina stared at me doubtfully for a while because she saw me exude a suspicious and passionate atmosphere, although she could not capture what I thought in my heart.
But from today on, it is different. I want to completely throw away the impure motives, the reason for entering the dungeon will become very simple.
That is to have an encounter with that person.
“That…There is…The thing about Wallenstein…”
“Ah…As a member of the guild, I cannot leak any adventurer’s information…But I can tell you what is already well-known by others.” She first gave off a short intro, then Eina began to speak. Somehow, it always feels that she was rather intimate. Perhaps it is because I am still a newcomer.
Real Name, Aizu Wallenstein. A swordswomen. Core member of the
Her swordplay is unmistakably at the peak of all the adventurers. She had wiped out a large group of LV. 5 monsters by herself. So amongst the adventurers, she also has a title,
She also taught a lesson to those approaching her with impure desires, or rather, she completely crushed them.
At this point of time, it seems like she had broken the record of 1000 failed courtships.
“What else is there? The rest is almost all about her appearance and looks.”
“Isn’t that only from the perspective of an adventurer…how about her hobbies or favorite food, and there was something that you didn’t say…”
Seeing my face turning red and hearing my timid voice, Eina’s eyes twinkled two or three times.
“What, it can’t be that Bell-kun fell in love with Wallenstein right?”
“No, Well…Ummm, Yes…”
“Hahaah. You can’t help it. Even I from the same gender would sometimes freeze when I see her.”
Eina gave a wry smile and lifted the red tea to her mouth. A sequential action, yet it was extremely elegant.
This person, who praised Wallenstein, actually also had a high popularity among the adventurers.
With gentle and crystal eyes, a pointed chin and a b
eautiful straight nose. She has all the conditions necessary for a beauty. It is said that there are many individuals that like her. When I knew that Eina was going to become my adviser, I was extremely happy.
As a half-breed, she has the beauty of the elf’s typical appearance characteristics. But at the same time, she had an unexpected affinity for care. A lot of people have fallen for the error gap between this impression and reality.
After Eina thought for a while, she said to my ear. “Wallenstein currently is not dating anyone.”
I could not help but do a victory gesture.
“About hobbies aside from that, I honestly have not heard anything regarding it…Ah ah. Nono. This is unrelated to my my service! I am not a love expert!”
“J…Just what is that!”
“No~! Okay, if there isn’t any problem, go back go back!”
As if it was to get me out, Eina first stood up and urged me. My feeble protests completely did not work and the two of us returned to the guild’s hall.
This hall that was built with white marble was very impressive. Right now there is almost no one here, there are only images of adventurers and gods on the wall that had a bit of existence.
“Eina is really mean…”
“This…You are currently an adventurer. There are still many, many things you have to pay attention to okay?”
“Mmm…”
About that, even I know about it.
The current me won’t be able to protect anyone. In order to survive to the next day, there was no other way but to use this body and enter the dungeon. If I do not develop an awareness for saving money, it is not acceptable.
For the people who may or may not have people to cherish…No, there is Kami-sama! In fact, I completely do not have the skill to feel strongly about the matter concerning about Wallenstein.
“You have already obtained a
“…Yes.”
“…I’m not telling you to give up on your feelings. Just that you should have to look at the reality. If I don’t say this, it would be bad for Bell too.”
The meaning behind those words is that from now on, I should also continue to work hard as an adventurer.
