Side Story 2: The Dungeon around That Time

Around the time Yuki, Lefi, and En were receiving their grand welcome from the dragons in the Hamlet, Lew and Leila were eating lunch in the dungeon’s real throne room.

“Gosh, it’s so rare for just the two of us to eat lunch together. Though I can’t say it feels particularly new.”

“Perhaps it’s because we’re together practically twenty-four seven, hm? I’m almost positive that among my entire circle of friends, I’ve spent the most time with you at this point.”

The two girls left behind in the dungeon, Iluna and Shii, had already finished eating and run off outside to play with the wraith triplets, which explained why these two were alone now.

“Same goes for me. Then again, there weren’t any other girls my age in the village. There were a few boys, but they were all potential marriage candidates, so it wasn’t exactly fun since I felt confined by that. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me sad for some reason.”

Leila laughed lightly in response to Lew’s slightly dejected expression as she recalled her past.

“Tee hee. Except you have Master Demon Lord now, hm? Whenever you’re with him, you look very happy, Lew. It’s like you’re enjoying yourself tremendously, you know?”

“I... I feel bad for everyone in the village for saying this, but I’m really, really glad I chose not to live my life following their rules. Otherwise, all I’d know is fear.”

“I completely agree. If not for my encounter with the unknown existence that is this labyrinth, I would likely have continued wandering the world, perhaps eventually dying an early death.”

“I know it’s sorta late to be asking you this after so long, Leila, but what exactly is your goal as a scholar? I mean, I already know you’re just satisfying your intellectual curiosity, but I also know that academics generally like to figure out something or other, so I was wondering if that applied to you too.”

Leila was completely unfazed by Lew’s question that probed at what could be considered the heart of her existence. Thus, though it was something she had never revealed to anyone except her teacher from the world outside the dungeon who had taught her so much, she didn’t hesitate to discuss her intention.

“I want to uncover one of the world’s truths.”

“‘The world’s truths’? What do you mean?”

“For example, ‘Why were humanoid species born?’ ‘What exactly is magical power?’ ‘How was the world made?’ I want to discover the answers to fundamental questions like these—questions that lay untouched, as they were considered forbidden because they were thought to be the realm of the divine. Although I have the feeling I’ll be attacked by religious figures someday for saying such a thing.”

The ovine young woman usually possessed a mature, intellectual aura. But seeing her eyes sparkle and watching her speak so enthusiastically made her seem just like the little girls when they were excited. Charmed by the sight, Lew couldn’t help chuckling softly.

“I don’t really think you need to worry about that while you’re here in the dungeon.
