Episode 213: Illegal entry

"Fuu ... Finally outside ..."

"I'm finally out ... I'm finally oooooooout!! Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!"

A few hours after that, Alice-chan and I are able to escape from the dungeon. It feels like a wasteland as far as the eye can see, and the adjoining facility looks out of place.

I didn't think anything of it, but Alice-chan spent more than a day being tensed up in fear inside the dungeon, and she was alone.

She must have felt lonely, and most of all, she had no prospect of escaping the dungeon alone, and would only die if she continued like that. Besides, there was no possibility that someone would come to rescue because no one knew that she was there.

She thought the situation was really hopeless. There would have been hope if at least it was a full party, but it was only one person.

I wouldn't have come if I hadn't been asked by Nanami. Considering that, Alice-chan might be pretty lucky too.

If she miraculously survived such a situation, I think it can't be helped even if her emotions explode.

"For now, let's put them out of sight and leave them alone."

"Won."

I let Alice-chan, who is on top of Luck, cry until she's done with it, I throw the explorers out of the shadows after moving to an out-of-sight place.

"Yoshi yoshi."

"Ugu ... Gusu ... Uwaaaaaaaaaan."

I continue stroking Alice-chan who is still crying for a while.

"Ugu, gusu ... I゛ab゛so゛r゛ry."(TN:Not a typo)

Finally, Alice-chan, who has calmed down, cries and bows her head without being able to speak well.

"No, no, don't worry. I can't leave a friend who gets along well with Nanami."

"Ufufu ... Gusu ... You don't have to put on airs ... Gusu."

Alice-chan floats a smile, and laughs at me.

Her face is quite terrible with her tears and runny nose.

I don't think it's something that can be shown to people if a really cute girl is crying like that. Even if it can't be helped if I see it, I don't want others to see it.

I take out a large towel and a potion from my bag and give them to Alice-chan.

"This is?"

Alice-chan tilts her head curiously because she has completely forgotten about her own condition.

"Can you go out in front of people with such a face? Your cute face is ruined. So, if you wipe your tears with the towel and get rid of the swelling of your eyes with the potion, I don't think it will be embarrassing to go out in public."

"Th, thank you very much ..."

As I explain, her face blushes and bows her head in thanks. The last bit was cute. She must be embarrassed to be seen crying.

It would be cool if I could give it to her more casually, but even if I can do something about my appearance and fashion, I can't do anything about my contents.

After wiping her face with the towel, Alice-chan sprinkled the potion on her eyes. Thanks to that, her face is completely restored, and the face that she cried is nowhere to be seen.

"H, how is it?"

"Yeah. Your cute face is back to the point that I can't tell you cried."

"I, is that so. Thank you very much."

When I smile at Alice-chan, who shows me a face that had become prettier, she bows her head in a slightly hurried manner and thanks me.

"Well then, it seems that the cell phone doesn't work, Alice-chan, let's find out where this place is in a calm place."

"Th, that's right. I want to go home quickly."

"Right. I have to keep my promise with Nanami. For now, let's go to the building adjacent to this dungeon."

"I understand."

Me and Alice-chan head to the fairly large building that we can see.

"Hunters' Guild. Judging from the name, it's probably a place like the Explorers' Union, this building. It's probably not Japan."

"Eh!? Is that so!?"

The sign on the building is written in English, but I am able to read it like Japanese without any particular problems. This may be thanks to the increase in Conversation proficiency.

I had a guess from the beginning, but now it's confirmed.

Alice-chan is surprised by my words. I think she probably didn't look around much because she was so happy she made it out of the dungeon.

There may be places like this in the middle of the wilderness like this in Japan, but they must be places that are usually not visible or unknown.

"Probably. If that's the case, the situation is quite bad. We are completely illegally entering now. If we get caught, we may be questioned."

"I don't like that."

Since I don't have a passport or anything, I might be suspected of being a spy, starting with how I got here.

I think it's very hard for the Junior High School student Alice-chan, even though I'm fine.

"That's right. Then, there's one way to return. We dive into the dungeon and find that trap again and move to a Japanese dungeon."

"~~ !?"

If I don't want to be investigated for illegal entry, that's the only choice at present.

No, there is the way of crossing the sea, but it is extremely difficult to cross the sea while dealing with a horde like when I went to SpaEmo.

However, as soon as the method is brought up, Alice-chan's body trembles.

It's no wonder. She had a terrible and scary experience.

"Don't worry. You won't be alone. I've pretty much figured out about that trap."

"I, is that so ... Fuu."

I smile as gently as I can and pat her head with the power of Caress, and she blushes a little and relaxes.

This should ease her mind a little.

"However, it's dangerous to ask anything in this building, so let's wake up those guys and listen to what they have to say."

"It's true that we might bring unnecessary trouble to ourselves."

"Oh, that's right."

We return to the vicinity of the dungeon gate and approach the explorers who had been rolled out of sight.
