Is it wrong to try to meet someone in a dungeon?

Lily thought, "Finally, someone decent has appeared. It seems she can build a good relationship with Lady Daphne."

Hestia: "The problem lies... with Cassandra over there."

Lily: "Eh? We haven't known each other for very long, so she should be about the same age as Lady Daphne, right...?"

Hestia: "No! My gut feeling tells me, 'She's highly suspicious.'"

Lily thought, "This intuition is really suspicious. Okay, let's investigate."

(scanning)

Lily's "Affection level 79?!"

Hestia is ridiculously tall!

Lily exclaimed, "Isn't this even better than Lady Eina's?!"

Hestia: "We only clashed during the War Games, is it really necessary to go this far?!"

Lily: "What exactly did Lord Bell do to achieve such a number...?"

(In Hestia's imagination)

Bell: "Hey? I didn't notice during the war games, Miss Cassandra, you're quite the beauty."

Cassandra: "Th-that...face...face so close."

Belle: "Of course I need to get closer, otherwise I won't be able to see your cute face clearly."

Cassandra: "C-cute?! Ah!"

Belle: "Those bright eyes, that beautiful nose, and those cherry lips~"

Cassandra 「(*//艸//)♡」

(Fantasy ends)

Hestia: "Like this! Like that! Like this and so on!"

Lily exclaimed, "How could this happen! Or rather, Lily wanted to be treated that way!"

Hestia: "Of course I want to be like that too!"

The older woman exclaimed, "Oh my, isn't this Hestia-chan?"

Hestia: "Eh? Ah... the lady at the potato ball stand?"

"What a coincidence! Could you come and help out at the shop for a bit? There are an unusually large number of customers at the stall today."

Hestia cried out, "Wait, Auntie, why are you pulling me? Why are you pulling me?!"

The auntie said, "What's wrong with that? It's an emergency, so I'll give you extra ingredients in your wages."

Lily cried out, "Raise her hourly wage! Auntie, please take her away!"

Hestia: "Eh, Supporter?!"

Lily said, "Our family's finances have reached the point where we need to rely on other people's kindness to help us. How can we ignore a raise in hourly wages!"

Hestia: "You traitor—!"

Lily: "I'll take care of investigating Lord Bell's matter."

The older woman said, "Alright, let's go, Hestia-chan."

Lily: "So, how is Lord Bell?"

Bell: "Okay then, I'll come back to pay before evening."

Cassandra: "Okay, see you later."

Lily exclaimed, "Oh no! I have to hide!"

(Transition)

Hill: "Mr. Bell~!"

Bell: "Oh, Miss Hill and Miss Ryu? Are they out shopping?"

Ryu: "Yes, we have to be ready before the tavern opens."

Hill: "By the way, Mr. Bell, I'm on the day shift today, so I'll be free after this evening. Would you like to go out for a walk together?"

Bell: "Ah, I've been quite busy with all sorts of things today..."

"Mr. Craney, are you planning to decline Hill's invitation?"

Bell: "Oh no, that's not what I meant..."

Hill: "Liu, really, you can't put Mr. Bell in a difficult position."

Ryu: "Um, sorry... Hill."

"Why those two of them of all... It's a real mystery to me... Never mind, I can't talk about this anymore. I have to continue the investigation on behalf of Lady Hestia, who isn't here right now."

(scanning)

Lily: "Lord Ryu, 72! That's incredibly high! Does this mean that, as a fairy, you've acknowledged... Lord Bell's intentions? Or did something happen between you and Lord Bell during that spying commotion on the 18th floor?!"

(Girl’s Delusion)

Belle: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to peek at Ms. Ryu while she was bathing!"

Ryu: "For fairies, being seen naked is the greatest shame. You can't just shirk your responsibility."

Bell: "Responsibility, duty?"

Ryu: "You must marry me."

Bell: "Huh?!"

Ryu: "If it's an intimate relationship, I won't hesitate to let you see me naked; in fact, I'll let you enjoy it. Let's run our family in the little house in our hometown forest, and live happily ever after."

Bell: "Ryu-Miss Ryu, why are you slowly approaching me? Ah, Miss Ryu! Ahh, Miss Ryu! Ah, ah, ah—!"

(The delusion ends)

Lily: "Whoa?! I've completely fallen into a fantasy... If that really happened, my affection level would be way higher than 80... But, Lady Ryu, you still need to be careful. So, what's next..."

(scanning)

Lily: "Huh? The device seems a bit... is it broken? It's not displaying anything."

(scanning)

Lily: "Lord Ryu is 72, doesn't seem to be broken?"

(scanning)

Lily exclaimed, "As expected, Lord Hill couldn't detect it. What happened?!"

Hill: "Huh?"

Bell: "Hmm? Is there a problem, Miss Hill?"

Hill: "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something urgent, so I'll be going now. Well then, Mr. Bell, I'm looking forward to the evening!"

Bell: "Eh, eh, eh, was that already a done deal?"

Hill: "See you later!"

Bell: "Ah, uh..."

Ryu: "If it turns out like that, I think you'll just have to accept your fate."

Bell: "Hahaha..."

"Since Hill has already left, I'll continue with my shopping."

Bell: "Ah, I'll help you! It must be hard for you to carry so much stuff by yourself."

Ryu: "But..."

Bell: "It's okay. It won't take much time before the door opens."

Ryu: "Really? Well... I'm sorry to trouble you."

Bell: "Okay!"

Lily thought, "Honestly, Lord Bell is so gentle with women...! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to follow behind them like this..."

Hill: "What are you doing?"

Lily exclaimed, "Whoa! Hee hee hee hee, Lord Hill?!"

Hill wondered, "Hiding in a place like this, are you perhaps plotting something bad again?"

Lily: "H-How could I possibly do that kind of thing..."

Hill: "Huh, what's this device?"

Lily: "Eh? This is... well... it's just a pair of glasses. Lily's eyesight has been getting worse lately..."

Hill: "You're lying, aren't you?"

Lily: "What...?"

Hill: "No pranks, okay? I know Miss Lily is watching us. Isn't she investigating something with that device?"

Lily: "Seriously, what's wrong with this person?" (crying)

Hill: "Alright, tell me the truth. I can tell even if you lie."

Lily: "Ugh...uh..."

Hill: "Miss Lily?"

Lily: "Lily just remembered she has some personal matters to attend to, so she'll have to take her leave now!" (She slips away)

Hill: "Even if she's a supporter, she ran off way too fast. Oh well, I'll ask her about it another time."

(Transition)

(Crows fly by and caw)

Lily: "The sun had already set. Because of Lord Hill, we lost Lord Bell too. Where did Lord Bell go...?"

The man said, "I'm so sorry, Little Rookie, for troubling you so much by unloading the goods."

Bell: "It's nothing, it's just that carrying so much stuff is a bit much for one person."

The older man chuckled, "Haha, as expected of a Level 3 adventurer, you're really reliable."

"Luttle Roocue, could you please help me with this too?" (The auntie's pronunciation is a mystery... I made up two words).

Bell: "Oh, okay! Coming right away."

Lily: "Oh, what are you doing, Lord Bell?"

Bell: "Huh, Lily?"

Lily: "It's not enough that it's just Lady Ryu; she's still helping people on the street at a time like this... There's a limit to being a pushover!"

Bell: "Hey, how did you know?"

Hestia: "Bell~!"

Bell: "God, God! Shouldn't you be at headquarters today?"

Hestia: "Anything about that is fine. Didn't you say you'd be back in the evening? Let's go back together."

Lily: "Lady Hestia, Lord Bell is still talking to Lily."

Hestia: "What? You're here, Supporter?"

Lily: "You definitely saw me, didn't you? You clearly interrupted me on purpose."

Hestia: "Honestly, you're talking about those trivial things again."

Eina: "Bell..."

Bell: "Miss Eina?" (Suddenly realizing, she takes a deep breath)

Eina: "I've been waiting for this, because you said you'd fill out the forms and send them over before evening."

Bell: "Ah, no, it's just that I'm busy with all sorts of things and can't find the time."

Eina: "We made a promise, didn't we?"
