Chapter 304
Chapter 304
What happened on the 18th Floor was something that no one expected.
The sudden appearance of the huge humanoid monster, a man-eating flower monster, and the woman whose power matched those high Level 6 adventurers made everyone wary, wondering what was happening on the Orario.
However, even if this news caused everyone to feel wary, they quickly forgot about this news after a week since their lives didn’t revolve around this matter, and after that incident, they quickly continued with their lives.
Still, for Loki Familia, it was a different matter since their Familia was attacked and Ais was targeted!
Loki was obviously wary and wanted to get to know the bottom of it, but all the clues disappeared along with the disappearance of the red-haired woman.
There was nothing they could do, and they could only continue with their lives, continuing to get more money from the dungeon.
Still, if something changed, it was probably how Ais started to train harder since her defeat of the red-haired woman made her desire to become stronger even bigger. She listened to Tsukasa’s words carefully, including how he taught her about the “Art of War.” While she was confused about why he taught her the “Art of War,” considering she didn’t go to war, she understood its importance after he taught her.
Ais knew she didn’t know anything about her opponent before, but right now, she is different. However, she hoped to get stronger again, especially when she knew the difference in power between her and the red-haired woman, so she hoped to become a Level 6 as soon as possible.
“Please let me stay,” Ais said to Finn after they hunted on the Deep Floors of the dungeon.
“…” Finn was speechless and asked, “Can you tell me the reason?”
“I want to become stronger,” Ais told Finn of her plan to fight Udaeus. She didn’t hide her intention and said frankly what was inside her mind to become a Level 6 to Finn.
On the other hand, Finn was even more dumbfounded, then asked, “Are you serious? Udaeus isn’t just a normal monster! It’s a monster that is comparable to a Level 6 adventurer! It also has the ability to summon several armies. Are you sure to fight it alone?”
Not only Finn but the rest of the people around were also speechless when they heard Ais’s words.
The previous Udaues had been defeated by the Loki Familia three months ago, but it was defeated by many people, and it would have been different if Ais had decided to fight it alone.
Tsukasa looked at Ais speechlessly and thought this girl was really amazing since even if he taught her how to communicate better, she still had a problem.
After the incident last time, his group, whether it was Lefiya, Alice, or Line, also joined Finn’s group in a hunt in the dungeon. While he could defeat the red-haired woman with ease, everyone was still worried if the red-haired woman would appear and also attack him with a group of man-eating flowers or a huge female humanoid monster.
Well, they had a feeling that Tsukasa might be able to escape, but it was an entirely different matter from Lefiya, Alicia, or Line. However, they knew Tsukasa wasn’t the type who would run away. Instead, he would fight the women and the monsters until they died without hesitation. So, while they believed in his power, they still worried about him. After all, they didn’t want him to be injured because of them.
This worried the three girls, so they decided to join the main group. Still, if there was something they missed, it would probably be the fact they couldn’t monopolize the hot spring and sleep right next to Tsukasa in the portable cabin.
On this “expedition” to get more money, Tsukasa showed his portable cabin, and he let the girls take a bath in it. As for sleeping in that place, it was impossible since, with the size of the cabin, it was impossible to let all of them stay.
As for the guys, while they felt envious, they couldn’t do anything since the girls had a strange privilege. The girls also wouldn’t let the guys take a bath in the water they used.
Tsukasa also wouldn’t let them since this portable cabin was made by his cube, and while he didn’t mind letting beautiful girls stay, it was impossible to let guys stay. He knew he was being unfair, but who made him the creator of this portable cabin?
Finn asked subtly whether it was possible to create a portable tent or cabin for the entire Familia. After all, the rest was also important during the “expedition,” and if they could rest in a comfortable place, the chance of the “expedition” would greatly increase.
However, Tsukasa said it was impossible since his portable cabin was given and not made. He knew he made an excuse, but he was too lazy to create something, especially when he wasn’t being paid. He knew he was being selfish, but it was impossible to let him push aside his need for the need of the entire family.
Tsukasa knew he was being selfish, but this was how he had been living. His needs and his women were the first. As for the others, he would give them some sprinkles if his mood was good. If he had food, he would eat it with his women, and if there was a remainder, he would share it with the rest of the people.
Tsukasa wasn’t a nanny after all, and it was impossible for him to take care of everyone like they were his baby. He wasn’t that kind of selfless person. It might sound petty, but he felt something shouldn’t be given to someone easily.
A human is a forgetful creature.
Giving to someone was easy, but if one gave too much, they would forget to be grateful, and they would expect one to give them more as if it was one’s duty to give them.
Instead, giving a small thing when one at need was the best thing. Then, they would be grateful and even follow you like you were his parents.
Tsukasa knew he was being manipulative, but if one wanted to make one’s life comfortable, one had become slightly scheming instead of becoming a good guy who would do everything to make everyone happy, ignoring one’s happiness.
Being an idealist was good, but one needed to see the reality.
The main character of the story or manga had always been idealists, and they had a dream to achieve, making them blind and following them subconsciously. However, the main character had a plot armor and made everyone’s heart to be full of flowers as if everyone was perfect without any bad thoughts.
Still, the truth?
Would that work in reality?
It might be possible, or it might not be possible.
However, you have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
Tsukasa was going to follow his own way. As for whether it was right or not, he felt it was okay, so it was all good.
“No, I’ll be with Tsukasa,” Ais said without hesitation, telling them she was going to fight Udaeus with Tsukasa.
“……” Everyone.
“……” Tsukasa.
