Arc 1: The Only Blossoming Flower

Chapter 12: The Dungeon Floors

I had a meeting with the Hero during lunch today. Surprisingly, I was able to gain his trust with unanticipated ease.

He was quivering at first, convinced it was his last day in life.

But I couldn't expect anything less from a mere teenager who randomly transferred to this unknown place with no knowledge of it whatsoever.

But I guess it was like how I became Milim's friend, which was through food merely.

I could guess he missed the authentic japanese dishes he long craved eating.

So now we're officially and technically friends, and he personally stated that he now wishes to stay here in Tempest either permanently or just for the meantime.

Of course, I said it was totally fine and that it was his choice on that matter.

He also personally suggested advertising the dungeon on behalf of the lavish and accomadated hospitality he was given.

Though, I dismissed this offer because hospitality is a common gesture to show
respect for guests, and its only natural to do so anyways, but he insisted anyway with the reason that ours was 'unique' compared to everybody else.

So, I just gave in to his demands and lent him a map for the first five floors of the dungeon.

Then, I also displayed mangas printed from my memory by Raphael-sensei for Masayuki to read through during his free time.

Now, let's just say he was overjoyed by the facth could read mangas again, and for free too.

After a few other chats and his complaints as a hero, it was all good.

So, with that done, the Dungeon's opening is at this very hour.

Seems like everyone's excited about it, too, but their only probably here for Masayuki.

-

「Good Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! I appreciate your patience at today's spectacular event!」
「Today we shall present one of Tempest's greatest achievements!」

「The Dungeon!」

Mjormilles is doing excellent with catching the appeals with his enthusiasm, a true merchant with great marketing skills.

Of course he's good, I chose him.

"My, if it isn't the one and only~"

Turning my attention to where that voice came from. Seeing Guy sitting on the audience 'special guest' chair where the entire events were perceived with eased precision.

Guy grinned affliatively, gawking at me with his elegant sitting position, legs crossed, and his fingers placed on top of each other.

Not gonna lie. He looks like he's manifesting dominance...

I know I thought of wanting to see him again, but now I really don't..

    "Nice to see you again this afternoon.." I smiled back,

"I am most de-"

   "BESTIEE!! I'm like so excited! Can I join in last minute with them!!?" The shrill of enthusiasm breached her tone, her eyes sparkled as she placed her dragon claws on my chair with the usual bright smile.

Smiling like that, she definitely totally forgot what happened last night.

I'm still pretty mad at it.

   "Ahh, Milim, nice to see you. I hope you haven't forgotten the sins you committed against me last night?" Asking with a 'not-so' threatening smile.
