Chapter 74: Shadow Ruin 6 and Misunderstanding…

After breaking through seventh, eighth and ninth floors filled with sand golems, we finally arrived at the final tenth floor. The map of this floor is not randomly generated like the previous floors, as it is only a straight path that leads toward the boss room. It was constructed like any dungeon final floor would have.

We took a short break to prepare ourselves and enter the boss room.

The boss that appeared is a Lion mummy.

As the name suggests it is a mummy of lion with the appearance of a lioness with a blackened and morbidly thin body.

Its speed and force behind each of its attacks are a little faster than the Kasha I fought inside the [Twilight Grotto]. However, we didn’t have a hard time with it. In the first place, this Shadow Ruin and the Twilight Grotto are the dungeons of the same level. Despite fighting the boss monster with the same level I didn’t have a hard time dealing with it as I am not alone this time.

I can react to its attack and using my stole to guard with enough room to spare. As I was guarding its second attack, Ludi cut it up with WindCutter. I punch it into the wall while Nanami follows up with exploding arrow and Ludi finish it off with Storm Hammer.

It got so messed up that I almost feel sorry for it.

“…….That was fast.”

“…….Right.”

That was really too fast. I can’t describe it with anything more than an elementary school kid’s impression, Its claw was a little scary.

I did prepare a fire magic stone which was a common weakness of mummy-type monsters but I didn’t get the chance to use it since our fighting power was too overwhelming.

Originally, our power was enough to challenge a higher level dungeon. Well, I planned to capture another dungeon but it’s not a higher-level one though.

After Ludi collected the magic stone we continue making our way inside.

What lies ahead after the boss room was a single treasure chest. That treasure chest which was made from wood and steel are undoubtedly holding the treasure I am looking for.

Seeing the treasure chest, Ludi and Sempai let out a small smile with Nanami and Nee-san follow from behind.

I tilted my head. Come to think about it, I remember that I reset the game a lot of time when I open this chest. Just why did I do that?

Was there any reason I would reset the game besides collecting the CGs?

After the four assembled the image of Ludi drenched appearance suddenly pops up in my head.

“Ah”

I remembered. There was a trap here. And it’s the SRPG (Simulation RPG) part trap. It was the Adventure part trap.

If memory serves me right, there’s a pitfall in front of the chest. It was a trap that will activate no matter how high your trap detection skill is and the bottom is filled with the sticky liquid that will make you feel aroused. It’s another eroge theme trap and it will only affect women.

It seems that Nanami’s detection doesn’t function properly due to the effect of this event trap. Ludi and others seem like they didn’t notice it either.

Is it fine to let things go like this?

The drenched image of Sempai and Ludi came to my mind.

If I let them fall then I get to see a beautiful sight. But is it fine to deliberately letting such a thing happen when I know beforehand?

If I let them fall this time I would engrave their figure in my heart with all my being and I will make two backups in the deepest part of my memory but will I be able to interact with them normally from now on?

As I thought, I can’t do it.

“LUDI, SEMPAI, STOP!!”

It was the same moment I shouted out. The floor beneath Ludi and Sempai split open with a *Gatan* sound.

I try to grab the falling Ludi and Sempai with Third and Fourth hand but I can’t reach them. I was too late. However, if there’s still a chance I can still save them, no matter how small, then…..

I jumped into the pitfall.

I grabbed Ludi and Sempai in mid-air with Third and Fourth hands and lift them up. After that, I prepared for the fall.

There was almost no impact. Should I say I just diving into a pond rather than a hard floor?

What I fell on was that Liquid. But as it isn’t that deep I am only drenched to my knees. This liquid must have absorbed all the impact. I don’t feel any pain at all. Even if an egg drop in here it probably wouldn’t break.

Since it splashed up to my butt, I am plentily wet though.

“Ludi, Sempai, you okay?”

“I, I’m fine.”

“Me too……”

I hold them up as to not let them touch the liquid and look around. As I examine the area I found a staircase on my right-hand side. I confirm that there’s no liquid in the area and let them down there.

Thinking about it normally, there shouldn’t be any way out inside a trap though…….is it because it’s an ero trap?

We meet up with Nanami who came down for us and head back up.

After I reach the top, Nee-san immediately checked my body.

“I get a bad feeling from this liquid, Yukine.”

Sempai nodded to Nee-san’s word and immediately use her water magic to wash the liquid away. Nee-san also uses her detoxification magic on me.

“Kousuke…..”

Ludi muttered while watching worriedly as Sempai washing me with water magic and let out a sigh.

“I’m glad……Ludi and Sempai are safe.”

I’m truly glad that they are safe. If I let them drenched in that liquid then my conscience would torture me while I am turned on at the same time, I might have open the door to a new world after that.

“I, I’m sorry. Because of my carelessness…..”

“Sorry, I was careless too.”

The two apologized but,

“You two, Please don’t apologize.”

It was all my fault in the first place. If I acted a little faster then such a disaster wouldn’t have happened. Moreover, I even thought about staying silent on purpose to see their drenched figure too.

“Kousuke……”

Ludi tried to wipe me with a towel but she stopped her hand. She grasped tightly on the towel and make an expression like she was overcome with emotions. Sempai also stopped using water magic and look at me absentmindedly.

“Goshujin-sama.”

Nanami called out while looking sideways at me with an extremely worried expression and bowed deeply.

“I am extremely sorry.”

Just what is this about? I thought so.

“I couldn’t detect that trap.”

Hearing so I thought, What? Just that? And shook my head.

“There’s no need to apologize. You helped me plenty enough detecting the traps and battling today.

“But……..”

“No but.”

No maaaaaaaatter how I thought about it, this time it’s entirely my fault.

“Don’t make such a worried face and just get back to normal. Quarreling with your poison tongue is fun, I can’t help it.”

She knows that it’s a joke right?…… She knows that right?

“Goshujin-sama.”

Seriously, don’t look at me like that, I am already felt guilty enough.
