Francesca left with her photographer Dolly. 2 missing students huh, Ichijo and Hidaka, I wonder if she decided that I was one of the two? She’s a scary woman but I’m pretty sure she won’t make an enemy out of me. Besides she brings me credible information faster than anyone else so I’d like to continue this odd relationship, unless it becomes disadvantageous for me.
After that we were swarmed by the crowd asking to shake our hands and for autographs. Nem was scared and tightened her hold on my hand, while Sufilia and Toa had other ideas. While Toa was barely suppressing her rage and want to start blasting people, Sufilia was smiling ear to ear. She came closer and whispered in my ear.
“Let me do what I couldn’t do in Artemias, let me burn them all!”
She looked pretty excited but that would have been the fastest fall from hero to villain that I’d ever heard of. I decided that I had no choice but to carry the three of then using 《God speed》and flee to the inn.
We arrived at the room quickly.
“That was more annoying than the dungeon wasn’t it?”
Toa was holding juice as she said this and I had to agree. While I’m sure it’s a huge honor, I don’t like being surrounded.
“Yeah….”
But she didn’t actually do anything in the dungeon though did she? Of course I’m smart enough to not say this.
“Well we should be ok here, as long as the guy at the front desk doesn’t know that we’re back.”
“Oh good, we can relax.”
Sufilia was smiling with a full glass of wine in her hand.
“Hey if you like wine, why not drink this?”
I pulled out some Old Gert from storage for Sufilia.
“Thi- this is!”
“Old Gert, it’s rare isn’t it?”
Sufilia poured the wine into the glass and took a sip. She seemed to be so impressed that tears were running down her cheeks.
“Aren’t you exaggerating a little too much? I have more so you can go ahead and drink all of it.”
“All of it!? What!? Lord Nito do you know the value of this wine!?”
“Hmm? I mean yeah…. It’s not made anymore right?”
“Correct! This wine is said to not even exist anymore let alone be sold anywhere!”
“Then, don’t drink it all? And I’ll save what’s left? ”
I didn’t expect Sufilia to get so emotional about it.
“Speaking of which, I actually just remembered but I found that wine in the dungeon that I was in when I first got to this world.”
“Oh yeah, you did say something about that huh.”
Toa seemed to remember me saying that as well.
“Speaking of, didn’t Khalifa mention something about Zephyr buying a large amount of old gert?”
“Did she say that? How do you even remember something like that?”
“I don’t know?”
I’ve always been able to easily remember things that I found interesting.
“Well anyway she never said what happened to all that wine so, I’m pretty sure that this is it.”
Toa looked lost.
“Also since the conversation with Bell I’ve actually been wondering who’s dungeon Aries sent me into?”
Although it was just a coincidence that I was teleported into a dungeon.
“What are you talking about?”
Toa doesn’t seem to understand what I mean.
“Well Khalifa seemed to avoid saying some things while she was talking and that made me think. It’s just a hypothesis but I think that was Zephyr’s dungeon.”
“Zephyr? The same Zephyr who gave Nito a skill?”
“Yeah that line of thinking would be consistent with the story.”
“Consistent?”
“Yeah, even if it was Shawn’s dungeon.”
My adventure truly began after my encounter with Shawn, but the real question is, why was Shawn in that dungeon?
“Bell said that the owner can enter and exit the dungeon freely. It seems to also depend on the owner as to whether or not his companions can enter, the method for doing so seems to be teleportation.”
“So you’re saying that Zephyr brought Shawn into the dungeon?”
“Correct.”
Toa was understanding surprisingly well, but for some reason I found myself yawning. Maybe I was more tired than I thought?
“I’ll have to think about it again after talking with Khalifa again. I’m tired today.”
“Yeah, lets do that.”
“In that case, I’m going to sleep first.”
It’s probably more of a mental tiredness than anything, after all that’s what kind of place the dungeon is. However even after talking to Bell I was still worried about the tale Adams left behind. Losing those three things, and about Zephyr. He was alive but dead? Somehow he was alive without a body, maybe I should ask Khalifa about it tomorrow? I could ask Zephyr but he never tells me anything.
And like that I fell asleep.

The next day the four of us ate a light breakfast and left the inn, by that time some of the stalls and merchants had already cleared out.
As we walked out of town a man was there and called out to us.
“I was waiting, Nito.”
“Oh its you…uh…Lemonade or something right?”
“Leonardo!”
I was fully aware, I made the mistake on purpose.
“You’re the one that talked to us before we challenged the dungeon right? ”
Toa didn’t mean anything by it but Leonardo looked apologetic.
“I’m sorry for anything rude I may have said.”
“Thats fine, are you alone? Last time we met you were carrying someone.”
“The girl didn’t make it… she was barely breathing when we got out of the dungeon. We were too late.”
I see, so she died.
“I’m sorry for your loss. Anyway, what is it you want? I assume you have a reason to be waiting for me?”
“I’ll be straight forward, I would like Nito to come to Dams Ardan.”
“Me? Why?”
“While I’m sure you’ve heard of Dams Ardanー”
“Nope, no idea what that place is. First time I’ve heard of the country.”
“Lord Nito, Dams Ardan is…”
Sufilia tried to explain but Leonardo interrupted her.
“I will explain. Dams Arden was originally part of the Dams Kale empire, when the empire was reconstructed those that were left out formed the country of Dams Arden.”
“Ok? Got it….and?”
“Dams Arden has decided to destroy the Dams Kale empire.”
“Yeah ok……..what?”
“As such, I would like Nito to assist us.”
“Wait a minute, you want to destroy the empire? Are you serious.”
“Deadly..”
There was no evidence of a lie in Leonard’s eyes.
“Then should you even be talking about something this serious to an adventurer like me?”
“We cant afford to be picky about how this gets done. Even if the fact that we’re trying to eradicate the empire reaches the emporer the empire won’t do anything. In their eyes we a far beneath them, not even worth their time.”
“Then why not help out Razhousen?”
“I did of course send a letter to Razhousen but, the contents said that we could not help unless the conditions were perfect.”
“You talk to much, kind of like Sierra.”
“Sierra?”
“Yeah, one of my companions. Although she’s not here right now, I haven’t decided if that’s good or bad yet. Anyway I haven’t been to either Dams Arden or Dams kale yet. So while I don’t necessarily mind destroying the empire I’d like to do some sightseeing first.”
“Sight….seeing?”
Leonardo seemed at a loss for words.
“You want to go sight seeing in that place?”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen it before. It’s easy enough to destroy the country but after I do I won’t be able to do any sightseeing so..”
“Easy…..?”
Apparently we have different ideas of what’s common sense.
“Well for now we’re going to Beyoment.”
“In that case allow me to accompany you! Since it looks as though you do not have a carriage.”
As he said this Leonardo pointed to his own carriage.
“Well them shall we ride in Leonard’s carriage?”
I checked with the other three just incase but they didn’t seem to mind.
“In that case, everyone please climb into the carriage.”
Leonardo led us over to his carriage.
“Thanks, uu~h Leonardo?”
“No problem.”
Toa thanked him awkwardly.
“Thanks!”
Nem hopped in before waiting for Leonardo to reply.
“Thank you Leonardo.”
“Of cour- wait, aren’t you princess Sufilia?”
It seems like he noticed.
“You’re the Princess of Artemias, Sufilia!”
“Whats a Sufilia? I don’t know any Artemias either.”
She seemed to be pressuring him with her eyes because Leonardo apologized for making a mistake. Maybe her face is a little to well known?
“After you Nito.”
“Thanks, and I’d appreciate it if you didn’t tell anyone about us.”
“Of course, I will happily forget that we met here as well.”
“You understand quickly, thank you.”
Leonardo smiled bitterly, then with everyone on board we headed to Beyoment.
