Feeling sluggish after ejaculating, I walked down the path and turned the corner to find the two.
Nia’s curled up with her back on the wall, and Euphy’s kneeling down in front, talking to Nia, then she noticed me and approached.
「 What should we do with her? 」
「 All I know is that I took away her skill. If that’s the case, is there a need to take away her life? 」
「 Indeed. If that’s Daiki-sama’s decision 」
Euphy’s expressed a bit of pity.
She had been worried that her skills will never bloom until she met me, so it was easy for her to understand the gravity of losing skills.
I’ve relied on my skills a lot in this short time, and if I lose them, it might be more painful than death.
Besides, even if I just fucked her randomly, I don’t know how she feels about me doing it with another woman.
If she’s someone I absolutely have to kill, then I’d do it regardless of gender, but Paula’s a delinquent around here.
No matter how much I’m accustomed to killing, I’m also afraid that I’ll become a killing machine and lose myself.
I knelt in front of Nia who curled to a ball.
「 Nia, it’s all over. We’ll check their stuff and we’ll take anything useful out of the dungeon. Get it? 」
「 Gusu…okay. I’ll help out 」
「 No, you stay here. Euphy and I can do it, right? Oh, just call out if there’s any goblin approaching 」
「 Uuu, gusu, okay 」
「 Don’t cry that much. Once we’re out of the dungeon, let’s have a talk, okay? 」
I stood up before Nia could reply, placed my hand in the middle of the kemonomimi, stroking his head, and returned to the corpses with Euphy and fished out their belongings.
However, as expected, these guys don’t have much.
What only got my interest was the coins, their equipment is too cumbersome to take with us so we’ll leave it
Still, that’s a lot of kills.
I calmed down and I looked at the bodies lying around.
Furthermore, I don’t feel a thing even though these are corpses I killed.
Whatever sense of ethics or morality I had is now broken.
Well, there was that missing piece to begin with.
But, I’m feeling a little tired, and not because of the fight.
I let out a big sigh, and Euphy hugged me in her arms and buried my face in her chest.
「 Are you okay? 」
「 Yeah, just a little confused with my own change. Only a bit. Euphy, how about you? 」
「 I don’t have any problems. I’ve been accustomed to this hand since childhood 」
「 Haa. That makes Adicilton house sound scary 」
「 Fufu, that’s right. It was scary 」
「 Right, you know, you made a scary face earlier. It even scared the hell out of me 」
「 P-Please forget it! 」
I jokingly teased her about the angry expression she showed, and she seem embarrassed that I pointed it out, she looked impatient for a moment and she hugged me to hide her face.
I hugged my lovely Euphy and then let go of her, approaching Paula who was getting up.
She looked up at me and her face show fear.
「 Aah, aaah 」
「 Paula? I think. Anyway, I don’t have to tell you this but, don’t you ever show yourself in front of us again. Don’t even think of revenge, okay? The next time I see you, you’re dead. This is also obvious, but don’t you ever get involved with Nia again 」
「 I-I understand! I’ll leave town! D-Don’t kill me 」
「 Sure, sure. Stop being an adventurer and do some work in other towns instead. It’s impossible for you to be one after all 」
「 C-Can I go now? 」
「 Sure, whatever. Oh, don’t even consider fighting the monsters. You’re just going to die 」
Paula thought she successfully begged for her life after I violated her, so she wanted to get out as soon as possible, she lifted her underwear and ran away, not caring about her semen-stained lower half and the leather armor she took off.
By the looks of it, she’s unaware that she lost her skills.
All I could do is hope that she doesn’t encounter monsters and die since I let her live.
「 Now then, let’s take Nia back. He looked depressed as hell, and I’m worried 」
「 I think he’s feeling down for causing this incident. I’ve been the same in the past, but I told her that Daiki-sama’s generous so he won’t mind 」
「 I’m glad to hear you say that but, I don’t think it’s in Nia’s character 」
Does Euphy think that if I approve, everything’s okay?
「 I have a favor to ask, I want to talk to Nia a little more, so if you’d allow, can we rent another room at the inn? 」
「 Sure. I don’t feel like going out and eating today so let’s have dinner at the inn and let Nia stay for the night 」
The room we rented this time had some space, but there was only one bed.
Having three people sleep together would be cramped.
Either way, we’re paying extra to stay at that inn, so what’s another room.
「 Thank you. I’ll take care of Nia 」
「 Sure thing 」
Euphy’s willing to let me entrust the rest to her, and so we exited the dungeon with Nia.
Nia’s no longer crying, but he’s clearly depressed about the incident, keeping his eyes looking down.
I want to comfort him, but we need to get out of the dungeon first, it’s hard to talk calmly in this place, so we need to leave soon.
「 Phew, we’re finally out 」
As I walk up the stairs to the ground level, I stood tall and looked at the sky, which was already starting to turn red.
Euphy and Nia in front of me are also letting out a big sigh, I guess they’re tired.
I started to walk with my hand on their shoulders, then I heard a voice from the side.
「 Oh?! Nia and those people came out! 」
Nia turned to see who called him out and he saw some friends of the same age as him, the one we met the other day.
They rush over to us and express their relief.
「 You’re safe. I heard that Derrick and the group were wanting to go after Nia’s friends. So, I asked the guards at the dungeon, and yet they won’t move out of fear! 」
I see. They heard about some guys going after Nia in the dungeon and these kids were worried.
Those guys were quite annoying.
Behind Nia’s friend, was a soldier, and he talked to me.
「 Did you not meet Derrick? That’s good luck 」
「 Who’s Derrick? 」
「 Oh, I guess you won’t know since you never met them. He’s an adventurer with a bad reputation often visiting the city. These guys had been nagging me to help since they seem to be aiming at you 」
「 You mean the guy with the axe on his back with Paula or someone with that name? The one with a beard 」
「 Oh, you knew? If so, you should leave the town as soon as possible, that guy’s persistent 」
「 Why don’t you try to supervise him instead? 」
「 Our job is only to defend the entrance of the dungeon 」
What a useless soldier.
I wanted to speak out for a moment, but let’s be adults here.
「 I see. I mean, if it’s those guys, they won’t be leaving the dungeon, so I don’t need to leave the town 」
「 What do you mean? 」
「 I mean, they came after us and we turned the tables. Oh, right. Nia’s friends, if you want their equipment, go to the third layer and get it. First come first serve, right, go get it 」
The soldier and Nia’s friends looked at each other when I said that.
「 Eh? N-Nia, is that true? 」
「 Yes. Onii-san said it all. You should hurry up if you want the stuff you can sell off 」
Nia’s still feeling down, but he could answer questions.
Hearing that, Nia’s friends looked at my face.
「 You should hurry up 」
「 You don’t want it? 」
「 Nah, you can take it 」
「 S-Sure! 」
Nia’s friends changed color and went into the dungeon.
I know you guys already finished your hunting today, but hey, keep it up
「 Let’s go back 」
I said this and I was about to leave the place with Euphy and Nia, but the soldier patted my shoulder.
「 Sorry, can we hear more about your story? In our station 」
「 Man, now you’re doing your job seriously? 」
「 How else would we react after hearing that? 」
Seems like we’re going to take some time before returning to the inn.
