238 Episode 238 "When I Picked Up Cecil And Rafilia, I Was Challenged Unexpectedly".Txt
The day after Shiloh's tentative birthday party in the port city of Ilgafa...
Me, Rita and Leticia transferred to the "retreat area Micheline".
We were there to pick up Cecil and Rafilia at the holy woman's cave.
After we went to the Ancient Elven City, Cecil and Rafilia stayed behind in the saint's cave.
Cecil and Rafilia decided to stay behind in the cave of the Ancient Elf City to help her build a golem to hold the soul of Uriella Grace, the Ancient Elf Wataru.
She also said that she wanted to pass on her skills to Cecil and the others.
We haven't received any word from the saint yet.
But I was curious about her, so I decided to pick her up and see how she was doing.
""Ceeeeeee. Delilira...
When we went to the front of the cave, we tried to call out to them.
'Hmph, hahahahahahaha! I couldn't wait for you!
As if at any time, the entrance to the cave opened and a golem saintess appeared.
She had a lot of golems behind her, and she had a strange echo in her voice.
She looks very villainous. Or, she looks like a scientist who developed a secret weapon.
"It's a Raphilia influence.
How did you know that?
Well, that's too bad. It's my son, you know.
I'm so sorry for what I've done. Saint Delilira.
Next to me, Leticia dropped to her knees.
She placed a slender sword and a circular shield (round shield) on the ground.
'The sword and shield you gave me, saint, I have put to good use. Let them be used as a righteous nobleman to help protect the people.
"Oh! 'It's Mr. Letitia!'
'Yes. It's nice to see you, Saint.
''I'm glad to see you too, Delilira. Then you should go and try the dungeon!
The saint then looked at Rita.
Rita and Leticia easily broke through the dungeon before. This time it's amazing. It's powerful!
My Lady.
What is it, Nagi?
''Before that, I need to talk to Cecil and Rafilia. Also, I have a report about an incident related to the Demon King.
"We'll get to that later.
Yeah.
"Because if you're calm, Nagi-kun, then the case is already solved, right?
The Golem Saintess chuckled.
''If it wasn't, you'd be in more of a hurry, or you'd be bringing someone else who's in trouble. If not, then the case related to the Demon King has already been solved, right? Isn't it?
Yes, but...
"See?
But it was a big deal. I'll be talking to Her Ladyship about it.
''What do you think is more important, Delilira-san's dungeon attack or the Demon King?
Even if you say so.
The Demon Lord's Orb is already in my hand, and my abilities have been rewritten and rendered harmless.
The 'Demon Lord Deficiency Syndrome' is gone.
There are no more martial arts competitions to choose a brave man.
I'm going to investigate the 'Town where wizards and alchemists gather' later, but for now, there's no way to do it yet.
When you think about it, the important thing is...
...... dungeon capture, maybe?
"See?
Why are you making a 'I'll do it' face, saint?
'I understand. I'll try the dungeon.
'Mm-hm. It's good to be honest. Nagi-kun.
'But first, you'll have to match it with Cecil and Raphilia.
''Hmph. I can't discuss that with you.'
For some reason, the saint who snickers.
What do you mean you can't let me see you ......?
...... What's going on between you two?
''Because it was Cecil-kun and Rafilia-kun who made the new dungeon. If you let them meet before the attack, the story will be exposed!
'How is that possible, saint!
Huh? Funny.
I thought Cecil and Raphilia were supposed to be making a golem to put Uriella's soul in?
'What happened to Miss Uriella's golem?'
It's already done. Uriella and Lyra have left to go home for good.
You work fast: ......
'I can do that much. Delilira-san is a saint.
'Maybe I had some extra time after that, so I instructed Cecil and Raphilia in dungeon building ...... or something?
That's right! I said to them both, 'Show Nagi how you learned and grew up in Delilira's cave. They were both enthusiastic.
...... I see.
That's something I'm interested in as well.
Cecil and Rafilia are both talented wizards.
And now they want to show me what they've accomplished by training in the saint's cave.
So if that's why you two have created this new dungeon...
I guess I'll have to give it a shot.
'Cecil and the others want Nagi to watch you grow up. I'm interested in that too.
'If that's the test of a saint, then we must try.
Me, Rita and Letitia looked at each other and nodded.
''I understand. We'll take on the dungeon Cecil and Raphilia created.
"Oh!
"'"This, this, this, this!
The golems around the saint clapped their hands.
The golems at the entrance split off to the left and right to make way for us.
When we stood at the entrance of the cave, we could see the inside.
At the end of the path, there's a sign that says 'A Dungeon for Nagi by Cecil and Rafilia'. That's easy to understand.
Can we go in this one?
It says this is for you, Nagi.
''I think it's fine. I don't think Cecil-kun and Rafilia-kun would expect Nagi-kun to challenge it alone.''
Yeah. I'm sure Cecil and Rafilia would.
They'd expect me to go in with the others.
"Well, we'll be going.
"Yes!
A golem saint follows behind us as we walk away.
...... Huh?
Is Our Lady coming too?
'What? You were going to exclude Miss Delilira from the group?
'Because the saint knows the trick inside, doesn't she? If we were together, wouldn't you know where the traps are by the saint's reaction ......?
''No, no, Delilira-san doesn't know what's in the new dungeon at all, do you?
But the saintly lady just shook her head.
Seeing this, me, Rita and Letitia's eyes are dotted.
'...... Don't you know what Cecil and Raphilia's dungeon is like?'
"Yeah. He told me to keep it a secret.
How did you two build a dungeon without the help of a saint?
'Give me a working golem and all the items I could use, and you can do what you want,'
What did Cecil say?
'Are you sure?' he rolled his big eyes, 'Are you sure?' He said.'
What did Rafilia say?
''Hi-ho! I'm going to make all my fantasies come true! He said, 'What?'
""............"
'Oh, my saint, how dare you.
'Are you okay with ......? Aside from Cecil-chan, this is a dungeon that incorporates all of Rafilia's fantasies (already), right?
...... I can't even imagine what they have in store for you.
I think I'll be fine.
Even if I trained and got stronger, it's still Cecil and Rafilia.
I feel like I know them both. They're family.
...... And we're evolving, too.
I mumbled so that the saintly lady wouldn't hear me.
I tapped my backpack lightly, and Rita and Leticia nodded, as if they understood what I meant.
'I see.' 'I see.'
Cecil, Rafilia, can you hear me?
I called out to the back of the cave.
Instead of an answer, the back of the passage glowed with a blur.
Yeah. It's like they're over there.
'Let's see what you two have been training for. Don't be shy.
I'm going to see how much you've grown, Cecil-chan!
I'll tell you what adventures we've had!
Rita clenched her fists and Letitia grabbed the slender sword.
I also asked the lord to tailor some clothes for the two of you. It's in the carriage. When this is done, I want you to show me how to wear it.
"...... (tick tock!)
A light flashed at the end of the aisle. She seemed to be upset.
"Nagi-kun. No more mental attacks! You know how it is with you two. You can upset them all you want. But you're not allowed to do that!
I understand. Saints.
No, I didn't mean to upset you.
If it's a dungeon that the two of us made, it's only polite to go through it head on.
''Let's go then. Cecil, Rafilia!
I challenge you to a dungeon for two, sir!
This is how me, Rita and Leticia decided to challenge the "New Dungeon (with Delusions)" created by Cecil and Rafilia.
