■Alexandra of Chevalier’s Perspective
“I see… this seems to be a rather old dungeon.”
I muttered, gazing at the walls that were decaying in places.
In this world, there are many things called “Dungeons.”
Deep within these dungeons, besides gold and silver treasures, one can find extremely rare weapons, armor, tools, and medicines, enough to build a fortune that lasts three generations.
Therefore, not only adventurers who dream of striking it rich but even nations are focusing on exploring dungeons.
Even if it means risking their lives.
Of course, this dungeon is prepared as part of the Royal Academy’s Year-End Exam, so the safety of the students is taken into consideration, so there’s no need to worry about that.
As proof, look, the academy’s teachers are hiding their presence skillfully here and there, watching over us.
Therefore.
“Frederica-san, is it okay to proceed at this pace?”
“Y-yes. This level is not a problem.”
It would be difficult for her… Frederica of Marshall, to set up anything under Wilfred’s instructions.
However, she looks somewhat pale.
Can she really achieve her goal in this condition?
“Fufu… I wonder when a Demon Beast will appear. The moment I find one, I’ll burn it to ashes.”
Lize flicks her curled hair with her left hand, showing a fearless smile.
She knows about the conflict between Lord Hal and that Trash… Wilfred, but it seems she doesn’t know about the existence of the young ladies in his entourage.
Well, that can’t be helped.
In the first place, she is the first princess of the Capetien Kingdom, so it’s impossible for her to grasp the details of noble young ladies from other countries.
In any case, Monica and I will definitely protect this Precious Thing (friend).
Besides, Lize is also one of Lord Hal’s ‘Precious Things.’
Then.
“…Everyone. There is a Demon Beast lurking to the left of the crossroads ahead.”
Monica, who was walking at the front, stops us and announces in a monotone voice.
It seems the Demon Beast has finally made its appearance.
“Lize, Frederica-san. Please be careful.”
“Fufu! Why do I need to be careful? With Sandra, Monica, and me, a Demon Beast or two is nothing to worry about!”
…I don’t dislike her personality, but I wish she would tone down her overly confident attitude when it comes to combat. As the leader of this team, I can see Lord Hal’s usual troubles.
That being said, I am happy to share Feelings with Lord Hal in that regard.
“Young Lady. If you permit, I will go and eliminate it.”
“Yes, please do.”
“Leave it to me.”
Monica bows respectfully and disappears from our sight in an instant.
And then.
“Jaaaa… a… aa… ah…”
The dying cry of the Demon Beast faintly echoed through the dungeon passage.
“Let’s go.”
“Y-yes…”
“………………….”
We turned left at the crossroads and found the body of a large serpent Demon Beast lying there, its nine severed heads scattered on the passage.
As expected of Monica, a splendid performance.
“Now, for the fang that proves the subjugation…”
“I have already obtained it.”
“Fufu, thank you. Then, let’s proceed.”
We stepped over the serpent Demon Beast and continued deeper into the passage.
But… Frederica-san’s complexion has gotten even worse. Could she be intimidated by a mere Demon Beast?
“Frederica-san, are you alright?”
“Hick!? N-no…”
…I was just worried and called out to her, but it’s rude to scream.
However, judging from her appearance, it seems she not only lacks combat experience but also isn’t very good at this kind of thing.
Then, there’s no need to be so wary…!?
“…Frederica-san, what does this mean?”
Frederica-san… no, Frederica, suddenly restrained my body with a thorny whip.
As expected, she came to attack under the instructions of that Trash.
“It’s all your fault! Because you keep getting in the way of my (my) Wilfred-sama (darling)!”
“Getting in the way, you say? That’s an interesting thing to say.”
“Hick!?”
Really, what does this woman want?
She turned pale and her knees are shaking just from a little bit of killing intent.
Well, whatever.
Since she has clearly shown hostility towards us, I will crush her without hesitation… but.
“This is…”
“H-how is it? My 【Shellbind】. Even Lady Alexandra, as skilled as she is, can’t escape from this restraint!”
Frederica is trembling as she bluffs… I see. This might be a little troublesome.
It’s probably her ability, but one-tenth… no, one-twentieth of my usual power has been sealed.
“W-what did you do! Release this immediately!”
“T-there’s no way I can do that! You’re going to be disciplined here so that you can never go against Wilfred-sama again!”
Lize shouts, and Frederica declares hysterically.
Really, what a foolish woman. Even if she does this, she won’t receive true (true) affection from that Trash.
My partner, Lord Hal, is completely different in every way.
“Come to think of it, it’s strange that the teachers haven’t noticed this anomaly.”
“Of course! The teachers assigned to this dungeon have already been eliminated (eliminated)!”
“I see.”
Frederica declares as if she has won, as I say this calmly.
The Duke Marshall family, her family, wouldn’t have such authority, so that Trash either borrowed the power of the king to do so, or… ah, I see. It was the latter.
“Frederica-jo, well done.”
“! Warren!”
Warren Gibson, Trash No. 2, appeared with a huge sword on his shoulder and a hideous smile on his face.
