Act 1: Chapter 16: The Next Goal

TN : Behold, this is how a cute loli should act!

===

Lunaire and I were walking side-by-side as we went back to her hut.Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

As for what I’m going to do after this... I think I have to talk to Lunaire regarding the matter of me leaving 《Cocytus》.

I confirmed my own status with 《Status Check》 as I was walking beside Lunaire.

Oooh..... My level was raised by 14 levels at once since I defeated the earth dragon that was Lv.150 created by 《Sand Tyrant》.

But... that’s not everything. I’ve amassed various skills too.

Lunaire’s body was trembling nonstop, she was showing an overreaction over this matter as she looked at me with an unfocused gaze.

「... Uhm... You know... Now that I think about it... Your Level might not be high enough.」

「Eh! ? 」

Her answer was completely beyond my expectation.

「D-Didn’t you say before that I would be able to safely leave this place if I reached Lv. 100? 」

She did tell me that before.

Although I’ve reached Lv. 100 yesterday, Lunaire had said 『Maybe your combat prowess has yet to reach appropriate mastery for your level』. Thus, she decided on today’s graduation exam.

Did I commit some sort of blunder during my fight against the earth dragon?

Lunaire’s restless expression didn’t tell me anything in this situation.

「Master, I’ve steadily gotten stronger so....」

「THAT’S NOT ENOUGH! I mean, outside of the dungeon is an extremely dangerous place! 」

Lunaire said as she flailed her arms with a flushed red face.

「S-Seriously, more dangerous than this abyss!? 」

Are you kidding me, wasn’t this place supposed to be the most dangerous dungeon in this world?

I mean, even that Nyarlhotep said so.

「Humph, if we’re speaking about danger, then this place is more dangerous indeed but... things might be even more dangerous outside if a super terrifying otherworlder sets their sights on you. 」

「W-Will that... really happen to me? 」

Surely, this place was only filled with Lv. 2000 class monsters.

Could it be that I was actually too naive in thinking that the outer world is safer than this place...?

「E-Even if the outside isn’t as dangerous as this place, there’s a possibility that you could encounter a Lv. 1000 demon outside... Maybe, no... You’ll definitely meet one of those Lv. 1000 demons! Without any kind of status or warranty to keep you safe, you might not survive the outside world for too long. T-That’s why you should continue your training in this place! 」

S-Somehow I felt that such an event might really happen if she said so.

Adding to the fact that I have absolutely no idea about the world outside of this dungeon, I think that I might have been too naive all this time thinking that it’ll be alright once I leave this dungeon.

The only information I was given was about the dangerous demons inside this dungeon. I have absolutely no idea what the differences are between the demons in here versus the demons outside.

The reason? It was because this 《Cocytus》 was my starting village.

Lunaire gripped my robe as she stared into my face.

「Yes and although what happens to you once you leave this place is no concern of mine, I think I more or less feel some kind of responsibility towards you. That’s why I’ll be looking after you for a while longer.」
