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

In fact, Reed, who was hiding in the 27th floor, gathered all the heretics present and, based on his intuition, sounded the alarm, and began a great migration.

Afterwards, Fels, who arrived at the hidden stronghold on the 20th floor with incredible speed, contacted them.

"Reed. Where are you now?"

"24th floor," he replied.

"Reed. Where are you now?"

"28th floor," he replied.

"Reed. Where are you now?"

"30th floor," he replied.

"Reed. Where are you now?"

Fels chased him to the ends of the earth.

Silently, calmly, and without a doubt about the false information, yet with a speed that left Rey and Gross speechless and chilling to the bone after hearing the story, they stubbornly pursued the fleeing heretic.

They kept asking the same question without changing a single word.

It is terrifying and almost bizarre.

"Reed. Where are you now?"

Rey and the others held their breath. On the 37th floor, Reed answered in a low voice.

"I can't get through this alone, Reed. Come to me."

The man in black inside the crystal mechanically assessed his own abilities (Status), turning his question into a demand for the first time.

"Hurry. Quickly. Urgently. Immediately. Hurry up. —Reed. Where are you now?"

There was neither anger nor hatred; something black laid out plain words.

Reed and his men cut off communications.

It has been identified as 'abnormal'.

They understood what had happened to the boy (Bell).

Next, they had to use every means to evade the approaching magicians and flee throughout the dungeon. They absolutely must not approach the entrances to the artificial labyrinth connected to the dungeon. Red Hat Rhett also reported, unsurprisingly, that magical traps had been set there.

Then, as they cautiously returned to the middle level and used a secret passage unknown even to adventurers to move through the 21st floor, they spotted Bell and the Freya Familia, who seemed to be saying, "I'm right here," as they randomly unleashed magic.

"It can only be concluded that the magician (Fells) has been brainwashed."

"Given the current situation, we have to think this way. But there are even bigger problems..."

"Yes. Is it only Fels who's become strange, or is it Lily, the others, and Lady Hestia? Could it be that even Lord Uranus is like this... or is it that the whole of Orario is like this...?"

Reed clenched his fists as if he were in unbearable pain at the words of Shilong Guros and Rey.

Without Fels as a means of communication, the heretics have no way of knowing what is happening on the surface.

While it was possible for Rey and the others to disguise themselves as humans and make appropriate contact with adventurers exploring the dungeons, the danger was simply too high. If, as Reed had envisioned in the worst-case scenario, the entire city of Orario became strange, adventurers like the already transformed Fels might attack in droves. Therefore, the heretics had no grasp of the situation on the surface, nor what was actually happening.

(How is Bell doing? What if he's become strange like Fels—!!)

As the leader of the heretics, Reed could not choose the option of exposing his fellow countrymen to danger. He could only stare painfully at Bell, who wore equipment he disliked and dressed in silver clothing.

"But Bell... Bell hasn't become strange!"

"!!"

"Bale is still the same Bell!"

But just then, the girl's voice rang out.

This statement struck a chord with Reed's troubled and anxious mind.

It's Winnie.

Wiping away the tears welling up in my eyes, I asserted with unwavering resolve.

Her amber eyes understood the boy's troubled expression.

Feeling lost and sometimes timid and fearful, Winnie struggles to move forward despite her confusion. She tells Winnie that the other person is still the boy she knows well.

It was Bell Crane of the Hestia Familia, whom Winnie and the others knew well, she declared in a corner of the underworld.

In a place far from the distorted "small garden," only the alien girl who has formed a bond with him holds the answer the boy longs for.

Reed, Rey, and Gulus all stared wide-eyed.

Then he immediately nodded in affirmation.

(Yes...we can't doubt him. Bell hasn't become strange; he must be feeling uneasy and afraid of his strange surroundings...even so, he still trusts us and wants to meet us.)

Even though he himself was unsure, Reed still believed it.

After hearing Winnie's words, she no longer doubted the boy.

Since that was the case, they had to rack their brains and find a way to rescue their heretic benefactor. Just then...

"Chirp—! Chirp chirp chirp~~~! Chirp chirp!"

"Whoa!? Aruru, what are you yelling about all of a sudden?!"

"She said, 'Bell is my wife!! My mate with whom I mate and reproduce! I must save him and give him happiness quickly!!'"

"Mr. Bell is not your wife or spouse, Aruru!"

"Shut up! We'll be found out!?"

The unicorn rabbit, Yalulu, became agitated like a rabbit in heat and started making noises.

Fia translated for a surprised Reed, Rey blushed and objected, while Guross issued an angry warning.

"—!? Reed, a giant boar-like beast (what is that?) is charging towards us with astonishing force!!"

"Eek!? Quick, run, you lot!"

But it was too late.

Rhett, peering around, spotted the Level 1 adventurer charging headlong into the thorny forest where the heretics were lurking. It was Ota, who, while maintaining a safe distance from Bell and his group, didn't miss a single moment of change.

They charged forward like a pig charging into the water, rushing towards these dangerous individuals who might draw the boy's attention to the existence of the "small garden."

Upon seeing this, Reed let out a near scream and quickly turned his back.

"Hurry, Winnie!"

The heretics grabbed Aruru by the neck and beat her mercilessly, then fled deeper into the tree hollow. Among them, Reid grabbed the hand of the dragon girl who hesitated to leave and dashed off. Deep down, he apologized to the white-haired boy.

"Bell...!"

As Winnie was led by the hand deeper into the tree hollow, she turned around and called out the name of the boy she couldn't help.

"...?"

Bell stopped moving.

While moving through the dungeon with Fan and the others from the Freya Familia, she suddenly stopped and looked back.

"Hey, what's wrong, Bell?"

"...Just now, it seemed like someone was calling me..."

Perhaps it's just my imagination.

It's possible that the auditory hallucination was created by her overwhelming anxiety and desperate attempt to grasp at a straw, after being told that all her memories of "Bell Crane of the Hestia Familia" were false.

But whether it was psychological or an illusion, Bell did indeed feel it.

The sound of the "daughter" calling her own name.

"...!"

Upon hearing the boy's whisper, Van, Lasker, and Remilia immediately tensed up.

He revealed a dangerous look that resembled murderous intent, but Bell, who was still in a daze, did not notice.

Ignoring their gazes, and as if guided, she was about to take a step in the direction from which the sound came.

"Stop!"

"Hum!?"

But then a white and red figure flashed before my eyes, and for some reason I was being held tightly in my arms.

It was Hayd, with her light red hair tied up and fluttering in the wind.

Approaching with a speed that astonished even Lv.4 Bell, he pulled the white-haired head into his arms.

"Stop, Bell! I sense the fluctuations of the Curse! You are very likely being subjected to a mental attack!!"

"Huff, puff, whoosh!?"

"But don't worry! I'm a healer! And a shrewd and capable one at that, supposedly on par with the [Dea Saint]! As long as I'm alive, I will absolutely not allow you to be mentally corrupted!!"

"Mupuu!?"

"So, please calm down—. Don't be fooled by illusions—. Okay, okay—. Let your heartbeat settle in—. Thump, thump… It's so calm, isn't it? It feels so good, doesn't it? You're almost intoxicated, aren't you—? Leave it all to the nurse—?"

"Ugh...!?"

Hayd wrapped his left arm around the boy's back, grabbed the back of his head with his right hand, and with exquisite strength held the struggling boy whose face was buried in his chest. The nurse, more malevolent than a curse, brought her delicate lips to his ear and breathed, making a hissing sound.

Previously, his grandfather, who had raised him, had emphasized how great the "white-clad nurse" was, and the young Bell Craney, whose skills surpassed those of ordinary people, wavered. And that moment was fatal. Like a fool jumping into a bottomless swamp, no, a sea of ​​light, fluffy cotton candy, his body became unable to move normally, and escape became extremely difficult.

Suffering from the dual attack of physical restraint at Lv.4 and sweet, enticing mental assault, her entire body became uncontrollable.

It should be said that not only his face, but also his ears and neck turned bright red.

Hayd's pounding heartbeat emanated clearly from his cheeks; it was indeed steady, comforting, yet utterly malevolent.

"Don't even mention Lady Freya, my breasts aren't as big as Herren's, but they're quite soft, aren't they? Soft and bouncy, aren't they? Just be comfortable, okay?"

"Mugoo ...

"—Now, Remilia! Hug Bell from behind and give him a 'breast sandwich'! That'll overload his brain and make him forget everything that happened before and after!!"

"I can't... I can't do it!!"

The softness of her breasts, the delicacy of her limbs, and the whispers that oscillated between childishness and lewdness were all means the witch used to confuse Bell's consciousness, making it difficult for the fourteen-year-old boy in every sense of the word.

Hyde seized the opportunity to call for reinforcements for a fatal blow. Remilia, the human, crossed her arms to cover her chest, hugging her slender body, her face flushed as she refused. The men, Van and Lasker, cast awkward glances, their expressions tinged with contempt.

The gaze carries a double meaning: a devotion to the goddess of beauty, both in body and soul, and the resulting "What the hell are you doing with the goddess's possessions?"

"I am Hayd Velvet. The witch who received Lady Freya's golden gift... To fulfill that lady's wishes, I would gladly offer myself... ———— Ah, but it's much more comfortable to hug than I imagined—. It would be perfect as a body pillow—. I love it—."

Hayd lowered her eyes, uttering the vow with a subtle expression, but quickly revealed an "Oh?" look, enthusiastically and gently lifting the boy's body, patting his back and stroking his head in a manner reminiscent of an older sister hugging her younger brother.

When the boy, who had transformed into a bright red fruit, was once again locked in someone's arms and held tightly, he let out a dying groan of "…………Ooh………….….Ah" and lost consciousness.

Afterwards, although it's uncertain whether it aligned with Hyde's intentions, the boy did indeed lose some of his memories of the dungeon. This was accompanied by severe mental damage, such as "White cotton candy... soft voice and touch... Ugh, my head...!?"

Incidentally, Ota failed to capture the armed monsters. It seems that they escaped because they were very fast, had a good grasp of geography, and even used a magical artifact possessed by a certain black-clad magician.

Incidentally, all of Hayd's barbaric acts against the boy were reported to Freya by Fan, and she received her just punishment. The goddess silently pinched her cheek and roughly squeezed her soft cheek flesh.

The girl complained about Fan, the traitor, while covering her cheeks with tears in her eyes, but she seemed slightly happy after being punished by the goddess.

"Waaaah... So sleepy..."

Cassandra Illion has been suffering from sleep deprivation lately.

To say how sleep-deprived I am, it's not just my head that feels heavy, but my body feels sluggish, and I've developed faint dark circles under my eyes. Even the headaches I'm experiencing now are turning into a feeling of fatigue.

Daphne, who was waiting for breakfast, looked on in surprise as Cassandra staggered to the dining table at the base.

"Not again? You've been like this lately. What have you been doing every night?"

"I didn't do anything~. It's just that I can't sleep well..."

"Would you like me to make you angelica tea...? The price is 800 falis..."
