“I’m sorry if my actions made you uneasy.”

“No, no! Master has nothing to apologize for!”

“Why do you adore me so much in the first place? I’m happy for you to value me, but…”

“That’s just the way it is. Dear Master is the saviour who appeared before us, who awaited death. In other words, you are like a prince on a white horse. We are all willing to even sacrifice our lives for your sake, Master.”

“Don’t say that you’re willing to give your life so easily because you’ve just had it.”

“Y-yes!”

Somehow I think I understand Sarah and the slaves’ feelings a little better, but I wonder if this is dependence rather than repaying a favour.

But if depending on me can give them the strength to live overcoming their painful past, then I’m okay with that.

“Let’s get back to the story. This time, I want to focus on levelling up.”

“Ah, levelling up… The most efficient way would be to head into the dungeon a little further east of the Imperial City, but we are heading to the South, where the Forest of Death is.”

“That’s right. We’re heading to a dungeon that probably has yet to get discovered, so don’t tell anyone about where we’re heading. I’m sorry, but I’m going to order you to be sure about this.”

Yes, the place I’m heading to is a dungeon that I used to level up in the game, but it seems to be still undiscovered in this world.

In other words, I don’t have to worry about other people seeing how I fight.

I can enjoy the dungeon as much as I want in the name of sightseeing without worrying about being seen.

It is the best, to say the least.

“Well, I think it’s somewhere around here.”

I then expanded the map and looked for the entrance to the dungeon I wanted before the Forest of Death.

“Found it…”

“I’m not sure if this is the entrance to the dungeon or not. It looks like just a huge mossy rock to me…”

Bridgette, who had come up to me casually like an equal, looked at the rock curiously and said.

“Oh, there’s no doubt about it. At first glance, it appears to be just a huge rock, but if you… hold up your hand like this, and direct fire, water and wind magic power into it, the entrance to the dungeon will appear just like this.”

“A-as expected of Kaisar-sama. I’m always amazed at your wisdom, just like Sufia’s incident.”

Bridgette’s eyes, or rather the eyes of the slaves listening to me, twinkled.
