“Well then, let’s go. Ah, for now, the low-level monsters should be manageable, so Amagi, just follow along.”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry. I wish I had ‘Magic Resistance,’ but…”
“Eriina … no, Sayamura-san is here, so it’s fine.”
“Our goal is the boss room on the 5th floor. We will install this dungeon controller there.”
“Will that suppress the appearance of unusually strong monsters?”
“It’s possible, but that’s the extent of it. However, there have been reports that the fluctuating dungeons, once installed, remain stable.”
After confirming the mission at the entrance, we set off.
Monsters had already started spawning and reached a certain number, but since this was not a training exercise, we avoided what we could and proceeded.
“Hmm… The Yumeno clan is as expected, but Sayamura is quite good too. Her fundamentals are solid and stable.”
“…”
“Thank you.”
It seemed like the student council president was observing our abilities as we proceeded. It was surprising to me… though I don’t mean to be rude, but Sayamura-san is exceptional. There may not be anything particularly remarkable, but there don’t seem to be any weaknesses either.
She was praised and, though a bit awkward, she thanked the president.
I understood why it was awkward. I felt uncomfortable too.
Because…
“By the way, Yumeno. You’re doing great. You’re moving at a decent speed, but you’re floating the whole time and not even showing signs of fatigue. And if I’m not mistaken, you were even paying attention to Amagi and casting recovery spells on Sayamura?”
Student council president… you’re getting too close.
Running and sticking close to me like this, it’s a bit unsettling. Both me and the other two… are feeling this.
“Student council president! You’re too close, and Tōma -kun is getting confused. Please back off!”
“Hehehe. You don’t mind, do you, Yumeno?”
“No, well…”
What am I supposed to do here?
I really wish she wouldn’t get so close that I can feel her breath, but it’s difficult to physically push a woman away.
And… she smells really nice.
But, this is a problem. Clearly, my angel is glaring at me with irritation.
Yeah. I would never choose such a foolish option to give up my future happiness for one night’s dream.
Unfortunately, president, please move away. I was about to say this, but then…
Grab
My arms were seized, and I was forcefully pulled away. By Amagi-san and Sayamura-san.
Huh? What’s going on?
“We’ve reached the boss room, but there are monsters already.”
I pulled myself together and got back to work.
I acted as if nothing had happened, ignoring it entirely. Without a single word about it, I continued with my tasks with a precise, almost divine, flow. Perfect. No one will even remember what happened earlier.
And then, I could sense the boss monsters that had spawned.
We’re not here to play after all.
“There are five of them. They don’t feel that strong. We’ll interrupt them, defeat as many as we can, and then proceed.”
Student council president… you’re making quite a straightforward, brainy choice. With a look that could rival Amagi-san’s, she’s someone who could probably become an idol.
Well, maybe Amagi-san’s also a bit straightforward, so maybe this is just how beautiful girls are. I just didn’t know it before.
Still, is it okay? Doesn’t everyone remember Amagi-san’s magic release?
With my unique skill, I can just about endure and nearly faint, but the president and Sayamura-san wouldn’t make it, right?
“Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
The two of them took the lead and charged in. I see, so Amagi-san won’t be doing the fighting after all.
I understand now. Amagi-san didn’t try to rush in.
I followed the student council president and Sayamura-san, and what I saw were orc mages, fully prepared and surrounded by magical orbs.
Monster Data
Name: Orc Mage
Species: Orc
Strength: Equivalent to C Rank
Characteristics: Each individual controls a different type of elemental magic. They can be troublesome when grouped together and coordinating.
There were five of them. They felt weak compared to the demons that had appeared recently, but they were still C-rank, and there were five of them, after all.
Just to remind you, this is a D-rank dungeon.
However, we couldn’t afford to relax. After all, Amagi-san wasn’t participating this time. We had to defeat them ourselves.
And it seemed like they were preparing to fire off their magic.
Sayamura-san deployed a magic shield, but the student council president charged in… and has already defeated one, as expected.
However, several spells had already been launched toward the president.
I cut in, protecting her and deflecting the magic. This magic is so useful. Mirror Counter is the best!
“A boy protecting me isn’t so bad.”
Once we had defeated all five orc mages, the student council president said this.
Her eyes are scary, though. I know from watching the streams that her party has male frontliners, right?
As I thought this, the student council president, her cute face moving closer, came even nearer… and just before she reached, I turned away and pushed her shoulders away with both arms.
“A boy rejecting a kiss isn’t so great, huh?”
“What are you doing?!”
“President! Wait, just a second!”
“No, wait, Sakura!”
As I hesitated, I heard Amagi-san getting angry behind me, and it suddenly turned into an overwhelming magic power… Seriously? What a surprise attack!?
I was so shocked by the magic that I stumbled forward. Everyone knows what happened next…
How am I supposed to assist while angry? What kind of situation is this?
“A sudden kiss isn’t so bad either.”
That’s not something you should say calmly!
“Alright, that’s done. Thanks for the cooperation. I’ll see you at the academy selection next.”
The student council president installed the dungeon controller and completed the mission. After receiving words of gratitude, we parted ways.
Afterward, as expected, I was caught in the cold wind from both Amagi-san and Sayamura-san…
It was a day that felt utterly unreasonable.
