Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 32

The next day, I came back to Alex's room. I knocked on the door four times, like what we discussed yesterday, as a countermeasure for them to know that it was me instead of someone else.

The door opened slightly, and once Chelsie saw who I was, she opened the door to let me in.

"Good morning; has anything of note happened?"

I asked Chelsie if anything had happened because she was the one who was guarding Alice for the night while everyone slept. We made a plan to determine who would guard Alice on a 24/7 basis and let the others be free.

Today I will be joining Alex's party. I have nothing better to do because it would take a few days for Mila to finish making the prototype I had drawn up.

I'm going with just Alex, Wendy, and Lucia today because Maria is next on watch with Chelsie sleeping and as backup, since Maria can't fight that much.

"Wait what?!"

Alex and Wendy shouted at the same time when I said I was going to join them, looking like they were scared of something. Are they afraid of going inside the dungeon? No, they made massive progress in the dungeon, so it's not that. Either way, I am more excited to see how much they would improve and maybe a sparring match after we finish our quest for today.

Lucia, wondering why Alex and Wendy were shivering at me, said.

"What's the big deal?"

Then she began dragging them out of the room.

I followed suit, and we went on our way to the adventurer guild. Strangely, Alex and Wendy were meekly walking behind me, and Lucia had to drag them to keep up like they didn't want to go for some reason.

At the adventurer guild, I entered the adventurer guild first because I didn't want to be associated with Alex's party or get attention placed on me. They had made a big entrance despite it being unintentional; a lot of people were talking about them, and I didn't want to stand out, so I entered first.

A moment or two later they came in, and all eyes were on them. There was a short silence, and people immediately began muttering about them.

"Is that them?"

"Ya, it's them."

"That bastard."

"Not fair; why does he get all the girls to himself?"

Being immune to the glares coming his way, Alex made his way to the counter to enter into the same quest as me.

However, some of the people looking at him were looking at Lucia and Wendy. Most of them were guys gazing at their bodies, and some female adventurers looked at them with admiration. Those gazes didn't really bother them too much except for one or two gazes from some female adventurers who were looking at Alex with lustful eyes. Lucia gave them a glare that could kill a person, and Wendy growled to make sure they backed off of Alex.

Once we both entered our quests and were inside the dungeon, for some reason Alex and Wendy suddenly became enthusiastic, and they were adamant that I didn't fight because, in their words, they wanted to show off how much stronger they had gotten.

I stayed in the back with Lucia, which got boring very quickly because Lucia, being a tsundere, still hates me for some reason and gave me the silent treatment, so she wasn't a really good conversation partner. However, she wasn't yelling at me anymore or getting angry, which kind of evens out.

Eventually, we were on the 10th floor, and I asked them if they wanted to fight the boss or use a bypass ring instead.

To my surprise, Lucia wants to go in and fight it.
