We entered the boss room of the final layer.

　This was by far the largest boss room compared to the boss room up to the ninth level, as the chalk was essentially waiting for him in dragon form here.

　It was large enough for a dragon to fly around and fight a dungeon challenger.

　Incidentally, the boss of that final tier, Chalk, is now in the form of a cute little girl, walking slightly in front of me. It seems she has no intention of fighting us at all.

　I can attack her in her dragon form without any problem, but once she finds out that the dragon is such a small girl, it's indeed hard to attack her.

　When we entered the boss room, Hakua turned into her dragon form and said, 'Fight me after all! I was worried that he might say something like, "I don't think so," but that didn't seem to be the case.


　At the far end of the boss's room, I saw what I was looking for.

　It's a huge, black, stone monument.

　I can see some writing on it. Probably the information I want to know - the name of the guardian hero who challenged and defeated this dungeon with Tina is written on it.

　I approached the monument as quickly as I could.

　This would explain why Tina's memories were sealed away.

　I thought so, but...


Oh, no...

　I couldn't read the words on that stone monument.

　I got close enough to recognize the shape of the letters, but the writing on it was unlike anything I'd ever seen before. The letters were different from the book that Luna had gotten in the Transference Brave's bonus room, too.

The name of the person who stepped into the dungeon seems to be written on it. And I can't read them either.

　I went ahead of him to the side of the monument by myself, and then Chalkia came to me and said so. Even Hakua, the dungeon's administrator, is apparently unable to read these letters.

　When you step through the dungeon, some letters are automatically written on the stone monument on the final layer. The letters are said to be the name of the person who stepped into the dungeon.

　Hakua had only heard about this from his own people, but he didn't know what it actually said on the stone monument.

　As for Tina, she was aware of her existence because there was a rumor among the dragon tribe, and furthermore, she knew that she was one of the people who once cleared this dungeon when the item 'Dungeon Follower' appeared on the dungeon management board.

　However...

'So Chalkia doesn't know the name of the guardian heroes either?

'You're the guy who trudged here with Tina? I'm sorry, I don't understand.

　Hakua didn't know the name of the brave man either.

　The name of the guardian brave that was not written in any book - I came here because I thought that it should be recorded here.

　But it ended in vain.

　It is true that the names of the brave men and women were written on them. But if I can't read the letters, I can't know the name of the brave man.


"So it's just a false sense of intuition...

　I couldn't help but get the words out.

　I trusted my instincts, which I've recently come to use, to bring everyone here.

　That I had a feeling that there were clues to Tina's memories here. Then I felt it was better to take everyone with me, so I came to this dungeon halfway through, even though my time left in Bestiary was running low.


''Halt-sama, are you alright?　You don't seem to be looking very pale...

　Tina came to me late, and she was worried about me.

'No, I'm fine. It's nothing.

　He can't tell Tina about the name of the guardian's hero. It's because Tina realizes that she can't remember the brave man's name, and there's a risk that she might fall down again.

''I see.......If there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to tell me. I'm Hurt-sama's personal maid and Hurt-sama's wife.

　Tina looked a little, just a little bit sad. I'm sure she knows I'm hiding something.

　I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to keep this to myself.

"Thank you, Tina. I'm really okay.

　Then he patted Tina's head.


"Master Hurt, you have stepped through the dungeon. Could you touch the monument?

　Chalk, who had been advancing just to the side of the monument, looked back at me and urged me to do so.

'Yeah, okay.'

　I walked up to the chalk and touched the stone monument.


　──?

　Something entered my head.

　It was a memory of the time I touched the monument.

　There was no way that was possible.
　Because I...


Oh, Mr. Hurt's name has been added to the list!

'What?!'

　I couldn't believe my ears at Luna's words.

　As I touched it, some letters appeared on the stone monument. But I couldn't read those letters as well as the original ones.

'Luna, could you possibly read the letters on this monument?'

Yes, I can read it, but...

　I got a little upset and crowded into Luna. Luna's face is turning a little red. I'm sorry that I seem to have startled you.

　But now...

So why don't you read everything in there?

'Wow, I get it. The top letter is 'Dungeon Conqueror'. The second letter is Hurt's name 'Hurt-Elnor', which was just added. And the third one is 'Tina-Haribel' - Tina-sensei.

　Tina must have touched this stone monument when she stepped through this dungeon a hundred years ago.

　At that time, her name was Tina-Haribel.

　And there is another line of writing on the stone monument. Perhaps that was the name of the brave man who stepped into the dungeon with Tina──.


The last letter looks like the name of a hero from another world.

What does it say?



It says, "Saijo-Hart" which is the same name as Mr. Hurt.
