Self-proclaimed! An Ordinary Demonic Hero’s life ~ The Result of Creating a Cheat Dungeon Despite Being a B-class Demon - Volume 1

The moment I stepped into the dungeon of the Second Demon King, I immediately realized that it was different from the previous day.

“Isn’t the wall of the dungeon ragged?”

“It looks like…”

Until the other day, the dungeon consisted of beautiful tree walls. But now there are holes here and there and dents. Obviously, the number of monsters such as Matango has decreased.

“Did an earth’s crust alteration happen in the dungeon?”

“Oh, if there’s such a trap or gimmick, it wouldn’t be like this if it were normal. Maybe the Glutton lizard ate too much. I’d like to check it out for a little bit, but… First, we have to do an investigation of Chrono and his team.”

Saying that Liza approached us. And…

“Stay still.”

She hugged me.

“<<Contact Survey>> (Contact)”

“Hey, Lisa?”

“Stay still. This is the only magic I can use to look deep inside.”

Saying that she pressed her soft body.  Although the body touch is intense from the beginning, it is more stimulating than that.

I don’t hate it at all.

I thought that it was a good deal, I continued to enjoy the soft feeling for several tens of seconds, then Liza nodded and left.

“Yeah, Chrono doesn’t seem to have a control contract. Good.”

“… Yeah, I mean, I’m glad that there is such magic.”

“I’m not good at fighting, so I’ve learned a lot of support magic like this. Then, Sophia-chan next.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Liza hugged Sophia just like me. And she nodded again.

“Sophia is also safe. There is no evidence of control from anyone other than Chrono.”

Sofia exhaled with relief at the words. Apparently, she was nervous. Well, it’s good to be safe.

“Anyway, it was only Yukino that was under control.”

“That’s right. So, all I must do is to remove Yukino’s sickness. Chrono and Sophia can go back to the castle, but what should I do?”

Liza’s words made me, and Sophia look at each other. We didn’t have any other reason to deal with the Glutton Lizard.

Certainly, I’m worried about my senior illness, but if the Demon King and professors are here, they will solve the problem.

However, it is also a good opportunity to explore the dungeon in the perfect condition that there are professors. You could even look for the “Baton of Denial” on this occasion. Then,

“I think I’ll follow them to the point where it’s not dangerous, but what about Sophia?”

“Oh, I agree with Mr. Chrono.”

Sophia had the same opinion. Then it’s confirmed.

“We’re going to stick behind Liza and all.”

Then Liza nodded with a smile.

“Yes, I understand! Then come with me. For now, I’m going to look for traces of the Glutton Lizard in this first level.”

With that said, Liza walked forward with Yukino and the professors. With a spirited stride, she moved forward with the professors.

“Do we also go?”

“Yes”

Sophia and I were going to follow them. At that moment,

“……Hmm?”

“Heh!?”

There was a large hole on the floor of the first floor.

“Ts!”

My feet and Lisa’s, in front of me, collapsed almost at the same time. And of course, we fell.

●

“Eh, what is this?”

I looked around while falling on the scaffolding debris of the floor. There was Sophia near me.

“Hi yaaaaaa.”

She was screaming and falling in the opposite way.

…No, she’s a vampire, so she could fly with her wings.

Apparently, this child forgot her ability when she met a sudden happening.

However, it was dangerous to drop like this. So, I kicked the scaffolding debris and jump to Sofia.

“Sophia, hold on.”

“Eh, Mr. Chrono?”

Then, I let my body be firmly grasped by Sophia, and then jump on the debris in front. Fly over some debris with the same momentum,

“This is the wall…!”

I grabbed the wall with my fingers and toes to kill the momentum of the fall. Within a few seconds, I was able to keep my body in place with the wall behind me.

“Well, I managed to reach the wall and stop.”

“Oh, it’s still great athletic ability and technic. You can step on debris without using magic and stick to such a precipice …”

“If you are stuck to the ceiling, when you apply it, you can go to the wall, and the fragments are large. All there is to do is apply power correctly.”

I mean, she doesn’t care about my technology.

“Sophia in the first place. You could fly with your wings.”

Sophia looked down with a troubled expression.

“Uh, excuse me, I’m a step behind.”

“Oh, no, I’m not angry so you don’t have to apologize. I think it’s easy to panic.”

“Yes, I have a tendency to get upset. So, I want to emulate Mr. Chrono that was able to survive the accident effortlessly, but it’s fair.”

“No, I think I’m pretty rushed?”

At least I think I’ve been in a rush since I came to this Demon King’s castle. Being put into a super-special class on the first day. The next day, I realized that my classmate had become a slave.

The next day and the next day, something is happening in the dungeon. I think it’s rushing all the time.

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yeah, so you don’t have to follow me. I think you’re mentally strong enough.”

After all, even if she knew about the slave contract, she accepted it without any hassle.

“…I feel confident when Mr. Chrono says that.”

“It was good. Well then, can you have your wings out while you’re feeling confident? I want to get out of here. See, there’s a floor over there?”

There is a deep hole just below, but the floor can be seen a little further away. If you jump, you could reach it barely, but if you fly in the sky, there is no doubt.

“Please leave it to me! Let me grab and hold Mr. Chrono.”

After saying that, I grabbed the winged Sophia, and put my foot on the floor near me. It was a wide and bright passage. However, Liza was not there.

“Hmm, has she move on?”

“It looks like…”

Just before we fell, we walked quite forward, but there was no hole in front of us. Maybe they hit the floor on the way, and we were the only ones in the hole that led to this point.

……Well, what do we do?

Due to the collapse, I don’t know how many levels we fell. If it was a second-floor layer, it would be easy, but from the fall time, we would have fallen a little deeper.

“Um, the map is…”

Despite the sudden collapse, I can still use the map I brought in. I could guess the current location by looking at the falling point from the starting point and the current topography.

“…Is this the middle of the 4th floor?”

With that in mind, when I walked around with Sophia, I saw multiple gatekeepers and a large door.

It’s a familiar place.

“As expected, this is the fourth level, Mr. Chrono.”

“Oh, I know the place and I am worried.”

The worrying thing is that we have fallen apart from Liza and the others.

……There is almost no possibility of falling below this.

When I looked around the 4th floor again, the only holes that seemed to pass down were where we had fallen.

So, I think we’ll meet as we go up.

“For the time being, we can go up to the third and second floors, and look for people who fall apart.”

“I agree……”

While nodding, Sophia stared at my eyes.

“Yeah, what happened?”

“No, I don’t think I’m used to it. I don’t know how to look at the map or how to escape from here, but Mr. Chrono is working hard…”

“Oh, well, in the countryside. If you go into the mountains and roll down, you won’t know where you are. You’ll get used to thinking of ways to escape.”

It’s not like I went into the mountains to get medicinal plants and get into distress. I think the experience at that time is just working.

“Well, that’s right. The Demon King’s dungeon and the depth of the mountains are alike, isn’t it?”

“I have a map and I know the way. If that’s the case, then they’re both the same. Well, I’ve decided on a course of action, we’re moving.”

“Ryo, I understand.”

After setting our goals, we decided to walk.
