Is It Wrong To Try A New Start In Another World With A Dungeon - Chapter 21 Ch 20

Ais: Ais Wallenstein, currently 14…

Jean: …Wait, 14?

‘System, don’t you said that I was born 13 years before the storyline?’

[Yes, but it is not possible to ascertain the right timeline, so it is only a congecture]

So, I am like 2-3 years older than him? That was unexpected.

Jean: So don’t have that much age difference. I can call you without honorifics, right?

Ais: Yes, no problem.

Jean: So Ais, I am a new adventurer, there are many things I know about monsters and like, but what can you tell me about your adventurer life?

Ais: Nothing much… I dive the dungeon with my companions… my familia… and I want to continue to go deeper…

Jean: Why? There is more than you can tell me?

Ais: …If I am strong… I…

A very sad expression surged in her face.

Jean: Ais, from what I see, you didn’t have it easy. As telling that type of things could help you, there is also the fact that if you don’t want, you don’t have to strain yourself with telling me.

Ais: …Yes…

Jean: Do you need a hug?

Ais: …A hug?

Jean: Yes, a hug… embracing a person is in a sense very relaxing, and comfort your soul… well, hugging a person you don’t know is somewhat different from the one that spends a lot of time with you…

Ais: Really? …I want one… I don’t know you… but you don’t seem to carry any maliciousness…

As I wanted to tell her that you can’t be too much certain, I decided to not spoil the mood and embrace her in a comforting manner…

As I was a bit taller, her face was on my chest and she could hear my heart beating…

Ais: …it’s hot… a relaxing hot…

I started to pet her golden hairs and sensed that her beat started to slow…

After two minutes of embrace, we separated from each other, and with a somewhat blush in her face…

Ais: Thank you… now I am ok…

Jean: It’s nothing… I cannot refuse a request from a beautiful woman, can I?

I smiled from my same words, and also Ais started to smile…

Jean: This is the first time a saw you smiling… I am sure that you have that stoic expression on your face quite all the time…

Jean: I think that if you really want, you can steal the hearts of any man you encounter with that smile, so why don’t you try to smile a bit more?

Ais: You are really… one of a kind…

Jean: Well, we talked for a bit, why don’t we start to go up. If you don’t make in time, your companions will be worried, and we can also chat a bit in the meantime.

Ais: Yeah.

—————————————————————————————————————

We are currently on the second floor and we are going up toward the exit.

She talked to me about how she wants revenge with the black dragon that killed her parents, without talking about them, and also a bit about the relations with the others…

I know that she is suffering for what happened to her, but she explained to me that Finn, Riveria, and Gareth are the one that saved her, and despite her level, they are continuing to do that.

As for Lefiya, Tiona, and Tione, they are friends that she never had. There are different people that entered her Familia a little after her, but they were afraid of her, and only the elf and the amazoness were capable of talking with her…

And as I was thinking…

Ais: Jean, can I make a question?

Jean: Oh, and I was thinking that you were only a machine capable of responding not questioning…

She glared at me with a pout…

Ais: I can also make a question…

Jean: Well, don’t be reserved, go ahead.

Ais: What is… your story?

Jean: …Can I ask why that type of question?

Ais: You are very… mature… and you probably thought of others… so I am curious what type of life you had…

Ais: You are not forced… to respond if you want…

…

Jean: *sigh*. It is nothing important really. I can say that first, my real mother was the only person that cared about me… but she died after not too much time…

Jean: I continued my life in a cold manned, and after that, a gentle couple ‘adopted’ me, and we continued to live happily. I decided to become an adventurer to pursue also strength…

Ais: Why do you move forward?

Jean: …I really want my future to be brighter, and so I will give my best… besides, what if the one that I care is suffering or like. If I am not really strong enough, I can also do my best to change any type of fate that befall on me and others…

Ais: Jean, you’re… strong…

Jean: But, this is not enough…

…

After a bit, we finally exited from the dungeon.

It isn’t the sunset, but it is quite close…

Ais: Now we have to separate… thank you… Jean… I am feeling better after chatting with you.

Jean: I also have to return. Thank you too, Ais.

Jean: By the way, I wanted to make this question before, but after making your wish come true, what do you want to do?

That question probably blew up the mind of Ais, that has never thought of that…

Jean: If you don’t know… well… nothing…

I’ll probably question better that…
