Diving into the dungeon, Takumi was busy checking out the adventurer girls, not even bothering to look ahead.
Is this going to be fine?
Yael was right to question. It was when she started to get impatient and wondered if she made a mistake in her selection that…
「 Gui, gugigigigi!! 」
「 Oh, goblins! Let’s see what you can do! 」
「 G-Goblins? 」
It’s a creature that doesn’t grow on the frontier.
In the frontier, wyverns fly all over the place along with dragons, and even Fenrirs. It’s not an environment where the Goblins could survive.
It’s his first encounter with goblins in this world.
Recalling his knowledge of his previous life, all he could see were goblins coming together to gang-rape female adventurers and Takumi’s desire to kill them went to MAX.
「 I won’t allow your deeds–you guys could be fun materials if 2D, but you’re not allowed to live for real! This Sugar daddy, the protector of women will put you to the grave! 」
「 What are you talking about? 」
Sugar Daddies aren’t a protector of women, and so we can’t condemn them to death.
But Takumi was furious and unwrapped the long item he had taken with him. A mighty weapon emerged the same weapon that defeated the mightiest monster of all, the dragon.
「 Take this, Dragonslayer 」
「 Pigii!! 」
The goblin is blown to pieces and becomes a stain on the wall.
Yael’s mouth fell open at the sheer difference of skill.
「 Woah, you sure are strong. You’re beyond a waste of talent 」
「 Really? If I recall, the guild master over there makes you shout “No way,” and “That’s crazy!” 」
「 I was to shout like that too 」
This old man’s skill was real. But only his strength.
「 I mean, I was expecting a great big sword when you mentioned Dragon Slayer, but it’s not even a good one 」
Takumi’s weapon, dragon slayer, wasn’t a huge sword, but a thick shiny black mace.
「 What are you talking about? Not even a Mithril sword can go through a Dragon’s scales. So we just smash them 」
「 Ugugu…I don’t want to hear a sound argument, it’s destroying romanticism 」
「 Even if you say that…Wait, huh? Hey, what’s that Yael? The bodies disappear into the ground 」
「 Huh? Hey, wait, you never dove a dungeon before? 」
「 Yeah 」
To think that this is the first dungeon diving of an S-Rank adventurer.
After all, Takumi spent all his days hunting monsters in the remote areas and never went to dungeons or anything like that.
「 The order is messed up, anyway, look, dungeons have a special barrier. Here, logic works differently from the outside. Corpses of monsters are absorbed by the dungeon, look 」
「 Oh, a magic stone 」
The corpse disappeared to the ground.
A shiny pebble was lying in its wake. It’s a crystal of magic power, the magic stone.
In this world, they’re a necessity in place of electricity.
Takumi also used to collect them in the frontier, but there was no automatic system like in the dungeons, so he had to tear them apart and find them bloody.
It’s not surprising that people find that being an adventurer is dirty, dangerous, and demanding.
「 Woah, it’s so easy to grab these, what the hell was I working hard for? 」
「 Usually, defeating the monster is the hard part 」
「 Okay, that’s the drive I needed! If we have this system, then it’s a very easy mode for me! Let’s move further! Come out now Hydra! 」
Takumi was elated, raising his mace, and dived into the dungeon.
◇ ◇ ◇
「 Hey, Yael. Is the Hydra not here yet? He’s not showing up at all 」
「 He’s in deep. We’re just in the tenth level. We’re about to head to the lower floors 」
After crushing every attacking monster from one side to the other and diving this way and that, they’re already far deep.
Normally, dungeon diving is more about preparing and responding to the characteristics of each floor.
But Takumi’s style is just twisting and turning with his high-level physics.
「 Hmm, I got carried away that I was far too deep, hey, are you sure that there’s a Hydra, Yael? 」
「 Hmm, this is indeed weird. We’ve been going forward with a lot of noise, but we haven’t encountered them at all 」
「 That’s a problem, I would like to take out the hydra splendidly, have Melissa-san pamper me, and maybe take her out on a post-work dinner date. 」
「 You’re the worst 」
Thus, they left the dungeon empty-handed.
◇◇◇
「 Ah, Takumi-san, you already went to the dungeon? 」
「 Hello, Melissa-san. Man, it was a miss today. But I took down the monsters that attacked me while I was going around 」
The old man’s persistent. Trying to show off, he puts a bag filled with magic stones on the counter.
「 Huh? This much? That’s amazing, Takumi-san. To think that you could beat so many monsters in your first day, as expected of an S-rank adventurer 」
「 Hahaha, but we didn’t find the Hydra. So it was a miss for me 」
「 That’s not true. If you could thin out the monsters at the lower levels, it would help the guild a lot 」
Melissa grips Takumi’s hand and shows a look of admiration.
Her innocent-looking face turns up and there’s a blush on her cheeks.
「 Man, still…I’m already half-retired but if you keep complimenting me like that, I might work harder 」
「 Where was that guy who said that he’ll never go adventuring again? 」
So, Takumi flipped spectacularly and re-entered the workforce as an adventurer.
But this time, he has an objective unlike before.
As a Sugar Daddy, he’ll take out the monsters threatening the lives of the young girls. While at it, he also plans to get along with the receptionist.
「 I’m going home. I asked Melissa to take care of the rest… 」
Yael, looking exhausted, leaves the guild.
Behind Takumi who’s seeing her off is Melissa with a smile. It’s no longer the innocent one, but a bewitching and sexy smile instead.
