　Yuri's boss, Jace, expressed his gratitude when I defeated the giant toad.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, we might have been wiped out by now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe."

　But Jeanne is honest.

"I might have done it," she said, "but I did it for sure.

　Jace seemed to shrink at the mention of the word, but he seemed to regret putting his friends in danger.

　So, after giving him a look so that he would not blame me any more, I decided to cut to the chase.

"Jace," he said. I've heard that there is a treasure in this level called .

"Oh, so you're all after flotsam, too?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, yeah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, somewhat apologetically, he continues.

"I'm sorry to hear that you're also looking for drifters, but would you mind giving them to us?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What? Is that what this is about? I mean, of course. You're the one who took down the guardians on this floor. You saved my life. I can't ask for more than that.

I'll be saved."

　Jace then offers further cooperation.

　He turns back to his friends,

"Now we're going to search the flotsam for this man. I need your help."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The friends whose lives were saved naturally helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We're saved. This level was so large that it would have taken a long time if we had done it alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We split up and went through the levels.

　Many of them were warriors and sorcerers, so they were not good at exploration, but they were still adventurers and experienced in it.

　The maids, Eve and Saint Jeanne, were not so good at this kind of work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After searching for about an hour, it was Yuri who first found a suspicious place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Something is wrong here!　We gather around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a wall like any other, but it was strange. The color was different from the surroundings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought that there might be a hidden door ahead, so I called up Hanzo, a Kobold ninja, who is a professional in this kind of search.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When he comes to me, he puts his ear to the wall and taps on the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He seems to be trying to find out the type of hidden door by the echo of the sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He turns around in three seconds,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There is no trap."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then Jace and the others pushed the wall, and Gogo!　The door opens with a "S" sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, it opened!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne was so excited.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She tries to get in first thing, but is restrained when she holds her tiny head down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What if there's a trap? Leave these things to Hanzo.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hanzo was allowed to enter first.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hanzou entered cautiously, and a minute later he brought a small purse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seemed that there was a treasure chest in the back, and that the purse was inside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's a very nice drawstring!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was not surprised, since I had heard that the flotsam in this dungeon most likely originated from ninjas or assassins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Eve says calmly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It seems to be some kind of ninja-related flotsam."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I take out an object from inside the drawstring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What came out of it was a shuriken, as I had expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a favorite weapon of assassins called ninjas.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hanzo saw it and leaked it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think this might belong to a famous ninja, perhaps to the ninja master Hattori Hanzo, whom I respect very much."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, I've always wondered if the name Hanzo came from Hattori Hanzo."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Gyoi. There is no Kobold ninja who does not respect him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that a Japanese ninja named Hattori Hanzo was once summoned to teach ninjutsu to Hanzo's ancestors, and the Kobold style of ninjutsu was developed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am impressed by the unexpected reason, but we will hear about it later when we return home.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I bid farewell to Yuri and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You guys have been a great help. If you ever have any trouble, please visit the castle of Ashtaroth, the castle of the Demon King, north of here. Tell the guards there that you want to see Ashit, and they may be able to help you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jace did not seem very interested, but still said he would drop by if he had the chance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jace and the others finally arrived,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm the one who should be thanking you. Thank you so much."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They shook hands and went up the dungeon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It looks like they are leaving, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The baggage carriers were all sharing the load fairly.

　Jeanne, the mascot and saint of our unit, concluded her speech with the following words.

　and--.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus ended the dungeon search.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it seems that not everything ended well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Someone is watching this scene from afar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Far away from here, from high up in the sky.

　It was a young girl who was watching them without being caught even by the demon king Asito, who is also the best magician.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her form was originally unspecified and indefinite, but now she has taken the form of a girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She has the form in which she first met the Demon Lord Asito.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She has a noble face and flowing black hair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She has the form of a goddess, the incarnation of beauty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She does not flaunt her beauty, on the contrary, she looks into the mirror as if to demean it, while eating a crunchy pastry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her reflection is Asito and the others, but in fact she has been staring at Asito ever since he materialized in this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She has been observing the battles of the realist demon king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I can only watch, but I can't interfere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He complains to no one in particular and continues.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But still, Asito is amazing. I can't believe that he has grown so much and expanded his power in such a short period of time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, I made him a Demon King because he has potential, but I never expected him to go this far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we only look at the results, he continues to produce the best results.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe he will be the one to become the Demon King.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the goddess had only one concern.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the boy she had just met.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it's still a pinpoint encounter, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He divulges.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If it's the Demon King Asito, I won't lose, but my encounter with him might be a bit of a turning point."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And his actions have followed suit.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The demon king of "HIKORI HIKYO" is a perfect nickname for him, and I am very curious to see how this realist will deal with the boy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Indeed, Demon King Asito, you are the best Demon King I've ever seen and I never get tired of watching you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The goddess has no maid, but she feels no inconvenience.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The goddess has been fighting against boredom for hundreds of years, but in the last few months she has been free from it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was all thanks to the demon king Asito.
