'Dragon....' Lucy's murmur passed through my ears.


　Craggy, rock-like scales.
　The whole thing is a dark brown color, but it has a greenish tinge to it like an emerald in places.
　Is this a ground dragon?

　Its mouth with huge fangs seems to swallow everything.
　It is called the king of demons, it was powerful enough.

　When I saw it, what I felt was 'emotion'.

''Wow........''
　I see a dragon.
　That dragon.
　The shock that surpassed the first time I came to the other world ran through my body.

　Ah, I knew the other world was amazing.....

　Maybe it was only for a couple of seconds that I was admiring it.

''Makoto!
Get a grip!　(True!)

　Lucy's scream coincided with the Goddess's reprimand.
　Haha, I come back to my senses.
　Likewise, the adventurers who have come to their senses also scream and run away.


　Taking on the dragon.
　Running from a dragon


The choice that the "RPG Player" skill displays brings a smile to my face.

(Don't be absurd.)

　Without hesitation, I took Lucy in my arms and let her fall off the cliff.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
　Hearing Lucy's screams in my ear, I'm swallowed up in the waterfall.
　She manipulates the water so that it can absorb the impact while being swallowed by the violent water current.

(Water Magic, Water Flow)

　The moment he jumped into the waterfall, he softly eased the impact.
　The bottom of the lake was deep and did not hit the ground.　
　We continued on through the water.
　The water in the subterranean lake was dark and I couldn't see anything, but I used my night vision skills and detection skills to search for demons.

(There are many demons.)

　That's as expected of a middle class.
　Just a quick use of my detection skills shows that there are quite a few demons.

(First, let's get out of the lake.)

　Lucy, who was hugging him, squirmed but ignored him for a moment and proceeded to shore.

　◇

　We walked onto land and hid behind a large rock.
With our 'covert' skills, the demon didn't see us.

Hey!　I didn't hear you jump out of nowhere!
If I tell them, they'll know, right?　I mean, I don't know if those guys are going to be okay.
'Why are you worried about me when you almost killed me.... Why would there be a dragon in that place in the first place?
'Mr. Lucas told me to never let you guys go down there because there are dragons in the lower levels, but...'
It's foul to have a dragon on top.
Yeah.

　We sighed.

'I don't know what to do, now.'
You're going back to the top, right?
Yeah, but I don't know how to get back to the top.
'What?　Why don't you come back from the waterfall? With true magic.
You can't climb a waterfall, for God's sake.
　It was all I could do to avoid getting hurt when I fell from the waterfall.

'Could it be that this is doomed?'
It's not looking good. But let's get your clothes dry.
　Lucy and I work the magic of dehydration on ourselves.
　As your body cools down, you'll slow down and lose your strength.

　I think we have about two days' worth of food on hand.
　I didn't bring a lot because I didn't want to go on an expedition.

'Shall we find a way up?
That said, there's a waterfall that goes on forever.
There's a waterfall that breaks off in places, so we'll explore it while avoiding the demons.

　But there was nothing to go but cliffs and waterfalls.
　I guess it's been half a day already.
　I just don't feel so hopeless.

'Yeah, it's a great view,'
　Maybe it's the view.

You know what?
　Lucy makes a dumbfounded sound.
'As I was thinking earlier about the dragon, Makoto is a bit of a sensation.
Is that right?
Yeah, do you like dangerous things?
　Mu, that's.........................I feel like I can't deny it.

'It seems like you're having fun scurrying around in the dungeon, too. Earlier, your eyes were shining against a dragon.
I'm sorry about earlier.
And in your world, there were a lot of flying vehicles and stuff, right?　I asked Fujiyan-san. So why are you frolicking like that in an airship?
That's just the way it is.

　You don't understand.
　An airplane in this world is not the same as an airship in this world.
　In a fantasy world, a flying machine is a very important part of the story.

I don't get it.
　I made a strong case, but I didn't get much sympathy.
　Well, I'm an otherworldly person.

　We continued our search, talking about such trivial things.
　However, I couldn't find a way up to the upper levels.

　◇

　I was taking a long break because I was a bit tired, when I met her.

''Ah, um..... Are you an adventurer?

　Suddenly, we are spoken to.
　We were in a space behind a waterfall in a mid-level subterranean lake, and me and Lucy were taking turns taking a nap.
　We were about to resume our movement.

'Huh?' And Lucy.
'......
　I followed and turned around too.

　The person who spoke to me was a girl.
　The girl had white skin and shaggy hair.
　But she has a very well-groomed face.

　The clothes she was wearing were tattered and torn in places, and her shoulders were bare.
　He looked like he was in some kind of trouble.　

Please help me..... I'll do anything I can to thank you........

　The girl asked for help in a fading voice.
