The two arrived at their date spot, the dungeon in the town.
It’s the place where he attempted to hunt the hydra with Yael before.
「 This dungeon is the “underground labyrinth of Sin” was it? That’s an amazing name 」
「 Yes. They say that a teacher who was once fired from the academy for groping a student has devolved into a demon and given birth to a dungeon 」
「 … 」
A dungeon spawning for some too-trivial reason. So the sin was obscenity?
「 Let’s go down to the bottom and smash the core then… 」
「 Geez, don’t be so silly. The mandragoras we use to practice, grow on the fourth level, are you sure you’re coming with me, Oji-sama? 」
「 Of course 」
Takumi, who brought his dragon slayer mace, is full of motivation.
The batter swings the mace to show off that he’s reliable.
Then, the highlight came right away. It’s the usual swarm of goblins.
Last time, he mercilessly destroyed the opponent, but this time, he’s with Helena-chan, a girl he favors.
「 None of you will escape! 」
「 Gugya!! 」
He gives off an immature vigor as he turns the attacking goblins into wall stains.
Accompanying a woman as a sugar daddy, Takumi’s defense was ironclad. He didn’t even let a spray of blood pass through as he crushed his enemies with all his might.
Helena, watching behind him, was watching the goblins exterminated with her beautiful mouth wide open.
The difference in strength is too much.
「 Okay, we’re done cleaning, next! 」
「 Y-Yes, Oji-sama, you’re strong 」
「 These guys are nothing. But don’t let your guard down. Putting myself aside, they often go after beautiful ladies like Helena-chan 」
After that, Takumi’s overprotective monster extermination continued.
It’s what you call “princess play” Spending so much to equip her, but Helena had zero success.
She looks like a princess of the Otaku group.
「 U-Uhm, Oji-sama, can you let me use some magic at least? 」
「 Sure, cover me then 」
Just in time, a group of wood golems has come.
「 Fire, one of the four elements, come out of this wand and burn my enemies! Fire Arrow! 」
Perhaps thanks to the circlet, but she can use magic much more calmly.
The expensive rod transmits magic smoothly and sends it to the enemy in the form of chanted “magic”
「 Ooh! They’re burning! You’re doing well, Helena-chan 」
「 Wow, to think that I can take down wood golems so easily 」
When diving solo, the same magic would only burn their skin.
It shows a different result when she calmly kneads her magic and uses a good tool.
That’s not all. He might be rotten, but he’s an S-rank adventurer, and Takumi’s guarding gives a great sense of security
Descending to the fourth level was no danger at all, Helena walked to the end of the passage without hesitation.
Takumi tilts his head, wondering what’s going on. However, she made a serious face and stroked the mud wall—then after some creaking, the wall opened like a door.
「 A secret door? 」
「 Don’t tell anyone, okay? This dungeon has a lot of tricks up its sleeve 」
The last time he explored the dungeon, he just charged forward and took down monsters.
Furthermore, he kept glancing at the adventurer women passing by. Of course, he won’t notice.
「 Huh? Is this a field? 」
The hidden room was spacious enough to be called a “room” with a fence erected in the corner and soil dug up on the back. It’s a field by anyone’s standards.
「 Yes, that’s correct. I grow mandragoras for magic potion exercise, but I’m not allowed to use the surface ground which is rich in mana. I found this place when I was in a bind 」
「 Hmm… 」
Unable to use the school’s land, the girl plants mandragora alone in a hidden room in the dungeon.
It’s a terribly lonely scene as you can imagine. As expected, even Takumi had guessed that Helena had her situation.
He didn’t want to ask for details so he just helped her out with the mandragora harvest.
Mandragoras of this world have a human shape, and they scream, but there’s no harm in hearing them.
It only makes you guilty, which is a positive.
「 Is this good enough? 」
「 Yes, sorry to have you help out even here. I’ll be sure to repay you 」
「 Haha, just going on an adventure with a beauty like Helena-chan is a reward in itself 」
「 Geez, you always are so quick to smooth it over 」
She thinks that Takumi was just being humble, but unfortunately, that’s 100% his thoughts.
Doing a princess play by guarding the beauty. There’s no better reward for this old man.
(Besides, if I make good money here, the play tonight will be a fantasy to beat all fantasies)
Takumi’s thoughts were filled with ulterior motives, but with all the development so far, Helena’s eyes were clouded. After all, she sees Takumi as a reliable senior adventurer, and it’s a serious illness.
「 Still, a hidden room? I still am worried. If monsters come and attack you, there won’t be anyone to help you 」
「 That’s true, but I’ve never seen a monster here before 」
「 Never? 」
He’s rotten, but he’s an S-rank adventurer.
Takumi was smelling something suspicious.
「 If there’s anything strange, then it would be this magic circle here 」
「 Wait a second, that’s a flag Helena-chan 」
Helena-chan approached the magic circle on the ground.
At that moment, the magic circle sparkles, and a tail comes out of the ground.
「 Huh? 」
「 That’s dangerous! 」
Takumi dashed, carried Helena, and slipped to the ground.
The squirming tail tried to attack her head.
He managed to rescue her in time, the tail grazed her head but flicked off her circlet.
Then, the magic circle fully materialized, showing–A monster who shouldn’t come out on such a low level.
Hydra, a serpent with seven heads, appears before the two of them.
「 Haa? Why is the hydra here? 」
「 Hii?! 」
Behind is the wall. In front is the hydra.
With nowhere to escape to, Helena fell and shook her head.
The hydra comes in with malicious movement with its tongue out. A brutal face and a horrifying sound.
「 Shuu–Shu… 」
「 F-Fire arrow! Fire arrow! 」
The tranquilizing circlet buff is gone. Helena panicked and fired a barrage of magic without chanting. However, the magic thrown in panic was low in power, and it only scorched the hydra’s skin.
「 O-Oji-sama, I-I’m sorry, H-Help me! 」
「 Hmm, I didn’t expect it to come here. It saves me a lot of trouble. Still, a magic circle in a hidden room. So that’s why it didn’t come out when I was looking for it 」
In front of Helena who was trembling in fear, was Takumi who was facing the hydra fearlessly, glaring at the evil face.
The shivering Helena looks like a heroine in love, gazing at the man’s back.
But, the old man’s face was already grinning. The Hydra’s also confused.
(Gufufu, if I take this hydra down, Helena-chan will definitely go “That was lovely, embrace me!” for sure! If I bring the magic stone to the guild, Melissa-chan will give me a night! Two birds in one stone!)
Those were his thoughts in half a second. When his ulterior motives are involved, his head accelerates.
「 Here I come, you snake! This is your punishment for disturbing our date! 」
An intense sound and a serious swing hits the hydra.
The aim was the root of the neck.
「 Kisha!? 」
Normally, a hydra is a monster that can recover even if it loses some of its necks.
But, Takumi knew that. When you smash the base, they can’t recover.
There’s no strategy nor thinking here, he just uses his absurd strength to take it down, but it did kill the hydra instantly.
Helena’s mouth drops at that simple ending.
Takumi plows his mace on the magic circle to make sure that it never activates again.
「 Phew, that’s done. You good, Elena-chan? Were you hurt? 」
「 N-No, I’m fine. Thank you, Oji-sama 」
Helena stood up, grabbing the hand reaching for her, and her face was flushed.
Her gait was unstable, so she leaned on his body, burying her face on his chest.
「 I was scared, I thought I would die 」
「 Ooh, there, there, it’s fine now. That’s easy for me no matter how many of them come 」
「 Oji-sama’s chest makes me feel at ease 」
Rub, rub.
A beauty rubbing like a kitten. Takumi’s confused.
The sugar content was high. Too high.
To think that a sugar daddy date gets this sweet and sour development, it’s better than his expectations.
