S Rank In Another World - Chapter 143
Sylphe sat on the bed to rest, and I sat next to her to be close to her so I could hear the whole story she was going to tell me. I hoped she would say to you since she brought me here. If she brought me to say nothing and just run away, I will be annoyed.
I don’t see the need to be angry with her, but maybe I was since she made us lose precious time. Right now, we could be in the middle of a mission to get some money.
The guild master gave us a few days to think, so we need to solve this problem of Sylphe before that so that we can go on this mission, I don’t want to take her to a place that she would not like to stay, if she were to get in a dungeon to keep shaking, I wouldn’t want it in there.
But now is not the time to think about it, I need to find out what’s going on with her, I hope it isn’t something very serious, I don’t want to hear about something so horrible that happened to her, to hear that such a good woman is already suffering is not good.
She is an extraordinary girl for me now, so I don’t want to see her suffering or anything, so I want to solve your problem before going to that dungeon, or we could even give up going, we could get money doing other types of missions.
“So, I’m going to tell you something that happened to me, it’s not something I’m proud to do, and I regret it since that day.” Sylphe said a little uneasily, but she continued shortly afterward: “I don’t want you to be angry with me for what I did, and I also didn’t want to talk about it to other people, but it is necessary to speak to you.”
It seemed to be a severe matter, has she done anything so wrong in the past? I could never imagine Sylphe doing something terrible for someone, especially something that involves a dungeon since I never heard her talk about any dungeon before.
What I have left now is to listen to what happened without judging it, I will not judge your actions, regardless of what it was, I cannot judge you, I have also done things that deserve to be judged.

After that, Sylphe started telling me what had happened about three years ago with her and her group.
Yes, she lied to me about never having a group, she had a group with only girls there were two other elves in the group, and only one of the girls was human, in total there were four members in her group, it was a size group regular.
They grew up as adventurers in the city very fast. Hence, they caught the attention of the guild master, after a long time they were living what they always dreamed of, all wanted to be recognized as respectful adventurers, but they never achieved that.
Most of your group were elves, and they were girls, so the issue of suffering prejudice was real.
The guild master called them with high expectations until Sylphe received a mission for his group without even knowing what the mission was. The mission was to invade a dungeon. It was a dungeon that would need groups of adventurers to clean.
“Wait ..” I wanted to interrupt her story halfway, but she didn’t stop and continued telling the story without caring about me, I had nothing to do so I just listened to her story until I had the chance to speak.
It seems that they were sent to this dungeon together with two more groups of adventurers, all groups were C-RANK group, Sylphe thought it would be easy despite her companions being concerned.
Sylphe wanted to accept this mission anyway, so she didn’t even care about her friends’ feelings and practically forced them to go with her to the dungeon, obliging is a powerful word, let’s say she convinced them.
Even though they didn’t want to go, their friends went to follow Sylphe, and that’s when all the misfortune inside the dungeon begins.
############
“Hey Sylphe, let’s go, this place is not cool.” Said a girl who walked behind Sylphe carefully while carrying a spear.
At this moment they were on the 5th floor of the dungeon, they went through a lot, even though all were scared they still got a place these girls didn’t also want to be here.
“I was not afraid. The next boss will be easy too, and we can kill him without problems.” Sylphe seemed confident in what she was saying, after seeing this the girl also calmed down more, she trusts Sylphe a lot, so she even calmed down more after hearing his words.
The other elven girls were different, they were Sylphe’s group for many years, but even so, they don’t trust that this place will be secure, as Sylphe is saying.
They followed her to help her clean the dungeon and also to get money, but they are beginning to regret having entered here, they were feeling that cold all over their bodies, they felt that something was not right on this floor.
The two girls were sure that something inside that floor was perilous they could feel it, they are holding on not to run away, but they think that those who run away are cowards and they don’t want to abandon their two friends here.
If they had convinced Sylphe to the contrary, they would never have entered here, all could have done it, but they trusted Sylphe very quickly, their confidence disappeared after entering this floor.
“We were almost arriving at the boss’s office, be careful.” A man from one of the group shouted from the front.
It wasn’t genius to scream inside a dungeon that could attract monsters from all sides, but at least it means they’ve arrived in the room the boss is in.
The girls were hoping that feeling was just a lie.
##########
After opening the door, the girls who were starting to calm down, thinking it was okay, opened their eyes in despair, their legs started to shake, and their bodies started to sweat without stopping.
What they were feeling here was not normal.
When they looked around, it wasn’t just them that were like this, and all adventurers were wide-eyed with fear, they couldn’t even move in awe of what was behind that door.
The pressure was so, high and the fear was so great that some of the adventurers who were closest to the room peed themselves and fell to the floor in despair. The girls didn’t know what to do at that moment; the only thing they could think of was that they didn’t want to accept it.
They looked at Sylphe to try to find an answer to what to do, but when they faced Sylphe, they realized that she too was shaking with fear, all the girls were so scared that they could not explain.
Sylphe’s face indicated fear and regret of having accepted this mission, and she managed to regret having said that to her friend a few minutes later, it is not quite right inside, she could never be well.
“Sylphe, we have to get out of here.” One of the fellow elves managed to say something after being scared for so long without saying anything.
She wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, but none of her friends were able to move because of the fear and pressure that the monster inside was giving off. Nor was she able to move correctly.
“Let’s all get out of here. We can’t let that monster know we’re here. We have to get out while the door hasn’t fully opened. He hasn’t seen us.” If the monsters saw us, he could leave that room and kill us all.
After hearing that, everyone turned their backs to the room and started to walk away from that place with difficulty. They didn’t know if the monsters would leave that room or not, but they wanted to believe it, they wanted to believe that they would get rid of this danger.
They don’t know why a monster like this is in this place. This is only the fifth floor, a beast so strong couldn’t be before the top-level not even the creature on the top floor could be as strong as that.
“Sylphe, I’m scared.” The same girl as last time, the only human in the group, was now clinging to Sylphe’s arm as he walked and shook his whole body.
This girl was Sylphe’s best friend despite being a human, Sylphe is regretting bringing a girl who trusted her so much for this, she needs to get this girl out of here alive, she will be sorry for the rest of her life if she doesn’t.
She will regret killing her best friend.
