Chapter 31

Amelia, moved surprisingly well .

Because she was royalty, I had thought for sure that she would scream and run around trying to escape, but it seems that I had been underestimating Amelia quite a bit .

「Amelia, three of them went that way . 」

「Nn . No problem . 『Gravity』 . 」

She crushed those three in one go with gravitational magic .

She happily crushed the monsters that looked like large rats with a splat .

Gross .

「Because they didn’t seem like they would taste good . 」

「No, I’m not angry or anything . 」

As I looked at her, Amelia, who averted her eyes and was pouting, had a beaming look on her face when I said those few words .

As usual, it’s easy to understand her, it was the best .

「Right now, which floor are we on?」

「It’s the sixty-second . I want to reach the seventieth by today, but as one would expect, it’s going to be hard, huh . 」

「If it’s Akira and I, we can reach it . We the strongest duo . 」

Just where did she get that self-confidence from .

I stayed silent and patted Amelia’s head .

When I did this, Amelia was immediately in a good mood .

Her cheeks also turned a little red, but I wasn’t someone who was excessively self-conscious, so I wouldn’t misunderstand .

It’s surely because, it’s hot inside the dungeon .

「Now then, did you rehydrate?」

「Un . …why do I have to frequently drink water?」

「Because I would be troubled if you’re dehydrated . Maa, the monsters are the ones that we have to be cautious of in this kind of dungeon rather than dehydration though . It’s better to be safe than sorry . 」

「Dehy…dra?」

It seems that the concept of heatstrokes didn’t exist in this world .

It seems that the technology related to medical treatment was not advanced either .

「When it’s hot and you don’t drink water, don’t you feel unwell?」

「…I do . 」

「That is called heatstroke . If you’re careless, you’ll die . 」

「There have been cases where young elves suddenly felt unwell on hot days and died just like that, but it’s not an epidemic, but dehydra-tion- . 」

It seems like she understood .

Because there was one time, when I was busy with my part-time job and I neglected to rehydrate, so I almost got a heatstroke as well .

That was a close one .

Clinging onto me, my younger sister was crying and screaming the entire time, and my mother had to do all of the housework .

After that, I had become much more concerned about keeping up with my health than other people .

「If you understand, take care to drink more water . 」

「I got it . 」

I threw my hidden weapon .

It hit the forehead of the monster that came out from a far away corner .

Both my skill levels and my own level had been rising quite favorably .

Perhaps it was because I had quickly achieved my goal, or because I had captured the dungeon quickly .

「The world that Akira was in…or rather, country? I know of a country that’s similar to it . 」

「Hee? The hero that had been summoned before us even established a country?」

「Yes . If I remember correctly, it was a human country that is a part of the elven territory . 」

I heard that from Amelia, and it seems that there were humans in that country that’s similar to Edo period Japan .

「The name of the country is ‘Yamato’ . The staple food of the country is the rice that Akira said that Akira wanted to eat . 」

「Alright, let’s go there after we leave the dungeon . 」

「Nn . I thought Akira would say that . 」

I want to eat rice .

I’m already tired of bread .

Japanese people were raised on rice and miso soup .

I can’t live without rice .

Rice love .

Gefun gefun, it was as if the thoughts that were hidden away exploded .

How dangerous, how dangerous .

「It seems they have the popular ‘hot springs’, so let’s go together? Actually, it seems that it’s gender-segregated, but they have ‘mixed baths’ . 」

「Amelia-san, are you saying that you know what mixed baths mean?」

「Soaking in the hot water naked together?」

「…」

No, wasn’t that impossible?

The hurdle of something like an average-looking guy like me and a girl as beautiful as Amelia going to the mixed baths was too high .

Besides, the looks from those around us would be too painful .

In addition, this girl, did she not forget about the fact that she’s an elf .

However, it seems that Amelia was truly looking forward to it .

「Fo, for now, we will put that on hold . 」

「Tell me your answer before we leave the dungeon . 」

「I, I will think about it . 」

If only the dungeon was neverending .

Even when we were having such a conversation, we continued killing monsters .

「…the lowest dungeon floor, that humans have ever reached until now was the twentieth floor . Moreover, I had organized raids, and Akira’s fighting strength can not be compare to that of the humans’ . 」

What was she suddenly saying, I looked at Amelia’s face .

Amelia was looking this way with a serious look on her face .

I, pressed by that seriousness, told Amelia the things that I didn’t even tell my classmates .

「…I don’t know why, but my status was obviously much more powerful that of the hero’s . 」

Perhaps Amelia was thinking, she just gave a small nod and didn’t have much of a reaction .

And then, she solemnly opened her mouth to speak as if she was hesitant to say it .

「Akira, even for the strongest of the four races, the demons, the maximum attack power is 900 . The attack power of the previous generation’s demon king was around 10,000 . Without a doubt, Akira is the strongest in this world . 」

「…that may be so . Even if I don’t use『Eye of the World』, I know that I’m strange . Besides, I’m running the dungeon in order to raise my level to 100 because of my promise to a certain person . When I come out, I may, without a doubt, become a walking god of destruction . 」

「What’s going to happen after you reach 100?」

「Who knows . I’m not exactly sure either . But, I’m certain that something good will happen . 」

If it was the previous world, permission to shoot me to death would be granted immediately .

I may become an experimental guinea pig because I’m a dangerous person .

Then, Amelia tightly grasped my hand .

「Even if the world says that Akira is a monster, I’ll stay by your side . 」

「Thank you . 」

I feel like I was somewhat saved by Amelia .

Come to think of it, this kind of thing happened before .

I was in Amelia’s position though .

I wonder how he’s doing, Kyousuke .
