Bell POV

We make our way down the old staircase and enter the 1st floor of the dungeon. As we move with a lack of caution, thanks to our high status, we speed through it until a crack begins to form on the walls, as it shatters and out pops the weakest monster and perhaps most slain monster.

The Goblin.

"Hmm... *Sniff* *Sniff* Yup, this place is definitely alive! Very cool! What a totally original concept! A living dungeon!" Merlin-sensei mentions mockingly as he takes a sniff? of the place. Firmly sitting atop my right shoulder, the classic position.

The goblin runs towards me with mechanical and murderous instinct. A soulless act that could not be seen on any wild animal. As it lacks any purpose but bloody murder, no hunger, no defensive action, just absolute nothingness. Unique to monsters and monsters alone.

*BOOM*

As I am about to strike the goblin it... explodes??? A gory mess of blood and monster innards that disappear at the goblin's death, leaving a... pile of ash in place of the magic stone

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Someone gets scared and shrieks like a little girl. That was not me. Promise.

Taking a calming breath at the absurd phenomena.

We all exchange bewildered eye contact, upon noticing each other's confusion we all turn to look at the most probable cause of the explosion.

"Oops... Forgot to turn off that passive! Just a second... Alright you're clear! That could of been bad, were we to meet an actual threat! Can't be solving your problems by accident after all! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" Merlin-sensei explains with a sweatdrop, stopping for a second to turn something off? finishing it off with a pathetic laughter, shit eating grin back in it's rightful and grim place.

We collectively eye roll at his antics, not wasting even a moment to try and decipher his shenanigans. Only Lili-san seems to be interested in communicating with the wild animal.

"Lili asks Merlin-sama to keep talking to a minimum, although we are in the upper floors and we are in no real threat, it would be a problem in the more dangerous floors." Lili-san meets Merlin-sensei's eyes with a pleading look, patience radiating out of her entire body. As she politely asks of him to keep his filthy mouth shut.
