Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatte Iru Darou ka Volume 6

Chapter 1

The stone roads are warmed by the sun overhead on this mild afternoon.

The weather's been nice for several days now; everyone seems to be in a good mood. The city center

overflows with happy voices. The wide main street is filled with horse-drawn carts, demi-humans, and

travelers in their traveling gear going about their business.

Past these waves of humanity and in the center of the road straight ahead stands a white tower so tall it

pierces the blue sky.

"But still, I'm so glad that you and the others made it back safe and sound."

"Sorry to make you worry...And thank you."

I'm outside of one of the bars on West Main, The Benevolent Mistress. I don't know how many times

I've apologized and thanked Syr, but I do it once again. I'll never forget the look on her face when I first

came to tell her that I'd returned from the eighteenth floor. That smile, the look in her eyes, how her silver

hair swished back and forth—everything.

I still can't believe that it's already been three days since we defeated the Goliath and returned to the

surface.

It was a week ago today that we couldn't get out of the middle levels and had to go all the way down

to the eighteenth. Apparently a lot of people above ground were worried about us. Syr was definitely one

of them. While she couldn't come into the Dungeon herself like the goddess did, she sent her coworker

Lyu in after us.

I will be forever grateful to the elf who saved my life so many times.

Of course, I'll never forget how happy I was that she would do that for me.

I grimace to hide my embarrassment from the girl smiling right in front of me.

"Has your body fully recovered?"

"Yes. Lord Miach...I received treatment from a friendly Familia, and I'm doing fine now."

Thanks to Lord Miach and Nahza's strongest medicine and potions, I was able to recover all the

strength and mental power I'd lost over the past three days.

We returned to the surface the day after fighting the floor boss. I've spent the past two days recovering

as well as contacting everyone I know to make sure they know I'm okay. I meet them in person, see their

relief, endure their anger, and share a few laughs. Actually, Syr was the first person I'd gone to see, so

this is the second time I've seen that smile of relief on her face.

The warmth of the sun on my skin and the bright skies are proof that I really did make it out alive.

Thanks to that, I can experience the joy of reuniting with people I thought I would never see again. I

suppose that the more fear and danger you experience, the happier you are to make it home safe.

I really am back.

Even with all the commotion around me, I can feel my cheeks pulling back into a smile.

"Syr, Mama Mia has asked us to open...Oh, Mr. Cranell. I did not know you were here."

"Lyu."

Lyu emerges from the doors of the bar to call Syr back inside. She says a quick good morning and I
