Corrupted spirits aren't that bad after all (DanMachi)

Is it wrong to try and find girls in the dungeon? To explore the endless labyrinth divided into multiple floors filled with monsters who once wreaked havoc across the lands? I expected myself to join a familia filled with fearless adventurers led by a goddess who was as beautiful as she was divine. We would go off to battle, slaying every beast that crossed our way and if I was lucky, maybe save a maiden along the way. Then I'd return to my beautiful advisor who would nag me about how reckless I was only for her to cuddle me right after.

Sometimes I'd go to the local bar to brag about my achievements to the cute waitress who kept stealing glances at me. Sometimes, I'd help an elfess being harassed by her inebriated party members. Sometimes I'd fight along with an amazonian warrior in the depths of the dungeon, her amazon blood would make her fall for me as she witnesses my strength.

Sometimes this, sometimes that, sometimes...

I want to grow up a bit, become a hero men would look at in awe, like the Heroes of Old inscribed in [Dungeon Oratoria], I want to be more than friends with the cute girls I meet, I want to meet ladies of all the different races, and if I felt daring enough, maybe even a goddess.

Isn't having these corrupt yet slightly naive thoughts part of being a young man? Is trying to meet girls, no... a harem in a dungeon really that wrong?

Conclusion: I was wrong

"oooOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

"Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"

I'm about to die courtesy of these slightly corrupt yet naive thoughts. Basically, I'm being chased by the pigman abomination, Its skin was deep crimson instead of the typical green, I was being chased by an enhanced orc.

I'm going to be crushed and I haven't even made it into Orario yet. I'm dead, there's no other way of saying it, I'm so dead. Where did my dumb delusional dream get me? Served to an orc on a silver platter. That's where. I'm such an idiot...

I couldn't even make it to the beautiful girls waiting for me in the dungeon, bitter tears poured down my cheeks as I didn't even live long enough to regret my admittedly conceited dream. Come to think of it, maybe I was doomed the moment I decided to look for girls in the dungeon of all places, yet the gods decided to punish me for my hubris even before I placed a foot in the dungeon.

Ahh, what I would give to go back in time, to wake myself early so I could be on that carriage that's now shrinking in the distance, just imagining myself on the back of that carriage feels like bliss, alas it wasn't meant to be.

"ooOORRAAAAAAAA!"
"Gaaaaahhhh!"

A tree was thrown towards me by the orc. Haha! It missed! Is what I would have celebrated in my head if the shockwave didn't send me flying. Not the most graceful body roll but I'll give it a passing grade. Oh, crap another tree! Roll! Now!

"Hoo... Hooo....!"

"Waaaaahhhhhh!!!!"

Now, all I can do is crawl deeper into the forest that I was sent flying in, hoping the trees would stop him. If all those cute girls saw me now, no doubt they would be laughing at me.

"Hehe~"

I'm even hearing them! Still, this isn't any good, I had my back against a particularly large tree, I'm cornered with nowhere left to run. This really is the end... I think to myself, my teeth chatter, and tears roll down my cheek.

The orc finally caught up, the putrid smell of rotten flesh emanated from its mouth assaulting my senses. I look up at its body, nearly 3 times my size. What's worse is that it sported a clumsy, broken smile as if it was gloating at me.
