Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 50-2

One hour ago, we found a staircase leading down to the cave. So, I adjusted the volume to about 80.

This should be enough. Actually, even raising it up to 80 can detect most sounds.

To be precise, its true that my physical strength has somewhat improved compared to before, but I cant endure it for a long time yet because I havent raised it to the maximum level.

Hmm, the stairs seem spacious.

Yes, Young Master.

Riche nodded her head in agreement with my words. Im getting nervous because there isnt much information.

We went down while being nervous, and we arrived at a flat floor. In front of us was a huge iron door.

Without hesitation, we opened the door and went inside.

-Creak!

When we opened the door, there was a straight passage that could accommodate five people. Hmm, it doesnt seem like a maze-type map.

Usually, there are maze-type dungeons, forests that seem to be in another dimension, oceans, and so on, but this one was just a simple straight path. There doesnt seem to be anything on the surface. Did they all clear it, so theres nothing here?

The probability is high. Since the members of the cult saw that we were targeting this dungeon, they would have entered first to get items.

Still, lets not be complacent. There is no such thing as an absolute in the world.

Kersey. You have a good sense of smell. If you smell something strange, tell me quickly.

Yes, master!

Riche. You know how to use presence detection, right?

Riche nods her head in response to my question.

Yes, I do. I will use it right now.

Okay, but dont use it constantly.

Understood.

We cautiously walked forward in a state of tension for about 10 minutes.

Master, are dungeons usually this peaceful? Kersey asks, and Riche answers on my behalf.

No, theyre not. Theyre usually diverse, but not this peaceful. I think someone else may have attacked and cleared it before us, which is why there are no monsters or traps. Thats just my guess.

Insightful. Well, as someone who was trained as a professional assassin in the David family, its only natural that she has this level of insight.

She may not have had any experience with dungeons at all, but shes still perceptive.

Riche, as you said, someone probably attacked the dungeon before us, which is why its like this. Plus, the path here is straight, so theres no way around it.

Even though we walked for another 10 minutes after I spoke, nothing happened. However, two forks appeared in front of us.

Hmm. I guess I shouldnt have been too confident.

What?

Two people looked at me with a face full of doubt.

Its nothing. By the way, which way should we go?

As I pondered deeply, Kersey pointed to the left and said, Master, this way seems good.

Why do you think that?

Uh, theres no smell of blood at all on the right, but on the left, the smell of blood is strong. I think its because the adventurers who went in first took care of the demons.

What? Is she the same Kersey I know?

I feel awkward seeing her suddenly use her brain that he never used before, always eating food pointlessly without any sense.

Who are you? Our Kersey cant be that smart. Shes a little kid who just eats and sleeps.

Eehehehe! I finally thought of it!

Yeah, she must be the real Kersey judging by her reaction.

Even if someone disguised as Kersey, they wouldnt act like that even if beaten to death.

Anyway, a princess is always a princess no matter what.

I forgot because she acted like a child and was gluttonous, but shes none other than a Dog Beast Kin princess. Despite her young age, shes quite smart.

Its a problem that she doesnt show that side of her often. Anyway, thats not the important thing.

I dont know why theres a smell of blood, but its true that theres less sound coming from the entrance that Kersey pointed out compared to the right.

I turned my head to Riche, for her thoughts.

How do you feel from your presence detection?

Hmm. Cerainly as Juniour feels, theres a sense that there are no monsters on the left rather than the right, for sure.

If Riche felt that way, at least the members of the cult would have gone to the left.

In other words, the left is relatively easier to pass through.

Okay. Then lets go left. Theres no need to choose a difficult path.

The two nodded at my words, and we confidently walked to the left.

As expected, there were monster corpses scattered on the left. From low levels to intermediate ones, some were visible.

Hmm. Intermediate monsters are nothing to worry about for those two.

But even though there were only two people, some monsters were still wandering around, making it impossible for them to break through and go through all of them, even after walking for a while.

Tsk! If only the passage was straight, those guys would have had no choice but to kill all the monsters. It was truly a shame.

Riche, take care of them.

Yes, Young Master.

As the mimics and goblins, disguised as a treasure box, were in a staring contest, Riche took out two daggers from the dimensional ring and threw them at the two monsters.

The daggers not only pierced through the two monsters but also slammed into the wall behind them.

Grasp!

Shouldnt there have been a sound like Woosh!? Even though the daggers were sharpened with aura, the sound of something exploding was heard, rather than the sound of the knives piercing through.

Kersey. Youre quite impressive for staying alive..

Im amazed too, Master. How I manage to survive that training every time.

Its an excessive compliment. Both of you.

No, its not praise, I thought, but looking at her blushing cheeks, I couldnt say it out loud.

After discovering the first monster, we spent about 30 minutes killing the remaining ones as we walked. Then, suddenly

Ugh

I heard the sound of an adventurer vomiting blood in the morning.

Unlike me, the two didnt adjust their volume, so therefore they didnt hear it.

I heard the sound and used my physical enhancement to quickly run as I spoke.

Young Master?!

Master?

You two, come slowly. I have something to check.

With the use of physical enhancement, the figure appeared in my sight quickly. He was breathing heavily with a face near death, possibly from being hit by the cult members.

He turned his head towards me and pleaded with an urgent expression.

P-please, save me. Im sorry about what happened this morning. Please

I understand. Wait a minute. Ill cast a recovery spell on you.

I adjusted the effect quality and brightly lit the holy water in my pocket. I dipped my hands in the glowing water and stretched out my arms.

I pressed my hands on his chest and performed CPR with all my might, trying to save him.

Dont die!

Cough! Wait

I heard bones crushing from his chest compressions, and at the same time, he vomited dark red blood.

This is dangerous. Am I being too gentle because my heart is weak?

I put even more strength into trying to save him next

Kkuoek! Waitplease.

Hold on! You cant go to your Mother yet!

W-what nonsense are you talking about? My Mother is alive.

I used my magic to exert even more force and said, Dont lie! A villain like you couldnt possibly have your Mother!

My ruthless facts silenced him.

Soon after, Riche and Kersey appeared.

I looked at them with a dazed expression and muttered, Hes dead.

TL: Hello, I havent been feeling well for the past couple of days due to a change in weather. Thats why there has been no updates. But I feel fine now, so you can expect updates just like before.
