We lit torches and made our way through the dimly lit dungeon.

'One level is probably only about slime, but you should be careful. If you're not careful, they'll suddenly appear from under your feet.

Last time I stepped on the slime on the first step, I got in a bad way.

"Oh, thanks, Takumi. I'll be careful.

After entering the mock dungeon, Sasha was acting a little strange.

She didn't look at me much, and her face was blushing a bit.

'Oh, yeah, but let's do our best, shall we?'

I'm also aware of Sasha, and I look away from her.

But the next thing you know, Sasha is glancing at me, trying to say something.

"Ah, um, Sasha,

'Uh-uh! It's nothing! There's nothing there, Takumi!

But when you talk to her, Sasha runs away from you.

Could this be the first time in your life that you've been in a period of popularity?

"...... tacky

"Wow, I know, Karuna. Don't say anything.

I'm dying to die because even my past thoughts are cabled to Karna.

Sasha notices me with my zipper fully open and is doing her best to tell me that, but I'm mistakenly thinking that I'm in a motivational phase.

'I can't watch it anymore. Chop up that embarrassment, Karuna.

"I can't do that, Tach. You can't change the past. Please accept this with all your heart.

I had no choice but to watch the chucking full open idiot with a lukewarm eye.

''The walls of the mock dungeon are separated by five meters per block, so it's easy to map them.

'Heh, heh. Then Takumi has a slight advantage since he took the test last time, right?

'That's the auto-generated dungeons and the structure is different, so it's not that advantageous. But the patterns are there so we can develop trends and countermeasures, and we'll map them out in more detail than before to help everyone.

Yeah, some kind of zippered a**h*le with a big smile on his face.

Notice, you idiot. Every once in a while, Sasha will glance down at your bottom half.

I wonder if Rick noticed my zipper at this time.

It's hard to judge, since I can't see his expression through his armor.

The other examinee, alongside the hooded figure, is walking in front of me and Sasha.

'Rick, the wall ahead of us is damp. There might be slime coming out of it. Be careful.

...... Yes, sir.

Without turning around, Rick answers.

As expected, I should say, a slime gushes out of the damp wall.

Slime is a mucus-like demon, widely known as a famous monster.

Some of them seem to be high level guys who can dissolve weapons and armor or combine to become huge, but the slime that appears in the mock dungeon is a very low level, very small fish monster.

Even so, if you're caught off guard, you'll be in big trouble like I was last time.

However, since I knew where they would appear beforehand, Rick was able to dispatch the attacking slime with his shield in good time.

"Sasha, now!

At the same time I shout, Sasha chants a spell at the slime that has fallen to the ground.

''Holy Fire (Saint Flame)!''

The flames released from Sasha's staff burned up the slime.

'We did it, we did it, Takumi. It's the first time I've defeated a demon.

Yeah, you got it, Sasha!

We both high-five each other, and then Sasha immediately turns back to me as if she's embarrassed.

I'm the same embarrassed me, mistaking Sasha's embarrassment for the fact that our hands touched, and I'm equally embarrassed.

No, no, no, past me.

Sasha turned back because she saw my crotch with my zipper fully open.

"...... tach-kun.

Don't tell me. I'm dying.

No, no. I've been thinking about it for a while now, but I've noticed that you have a keen sense of observation. It's a good thing that you are able to analyze the data before anyone else, because you were able to detect the Goblin King when Moe came with us, and you noticed the true identity of the Demon King before anyone else. Well, he's the weakest in power though.

Yes, that was the result of me having only meager powers, but still trying desperately to develop my ability to be an adventurer without the need for power.

I didn't notice the ...... zipper fully open, though.

I think that can't be helped. That's because you're more concerned about your friends than yourself.

I'm not sure that's true.

I don't intend to do that myself, I'm just acting on my feelings.

After fighting off the slime, the four of us went straight to the dungeon and found the stairs down to the second basement floor.

We didn't make it that far on the first test we were disqualified from.

The tension must have been a little high.

I'm late in discovering the simple trap set up in front of the stairs.

There is a click.

It was the hooded figure in the lead that stepped on the protrusion on the ground.

''It's dangerous!''

As soon as you shout, a bow and arrow will fly from the wall.

The tip of the bow is made of rubber, but a direct hit would end the test there.

''.......''

However, the person in the hood quickly somersaulted on the spot and gorgeously ducked the bow and arrow.

I was not able to see the inside of the hood until the end, so I didn't know who this person was, but it was clear that they had an unusual atmosphere.

''Takkun, rewind it!

"Huh?

That's it. One more time.

The unexpected request to rewind the recollection reminded me of the same scene again, confused.

Again, I rewound it to where the hooded figure stepped on the trap.

"Tak-kun, turn up the volume!

What? Can you turn up the volume of your recollections?

I thought it was impossible, but the volume was easily turned up.

The human brain remembers things that it can't remember on its own. Karuna's intervention makes it clearer.

The voice I couldn't hear earlier.

When he ducked the bow and arrow, he could hear a small voice uttered by the figure in the hood.

''Tsk.''

It was a voice I had heard often.

'No way. ......'

One by one, facts I didn't know were coming to light.

'Nuruhachi?'

Nuruhachi, who was worried about the second test, was mixed up in the introductory exam.

'You see, Tachkun,'

Karuna speaks to him in a gentle voice.

''Since you care about your friends, they also care about you properly, Tatkun.

Nuruhachi, who had been a demon all those years as an adventurer, had been supporting me in the shadows.

When I was reminiscing about my past with the intention of finding out the truth about the mastermind, I unexpectedly discovered a gentle truth, and the reminiscence scene was blurred with tears.
