– Jjiing!

From that moment on, a sharp tinnitus started ringing in my ears.

At the same time, Yumir, who felt that her spirit was getting dizzy, felt a sense of crisis and reflexively gathered mana.

"What are you, that power…"

Familiar power…

Apparently, it had been handled by my own hands before.

Yes, because it is the same quality contained in the 'witch's blood' he brought to him.

However, even if they are the same demon, there should be differences in their power, but no matter how much you think about it, isn't this power too much the same?

'Dave, witch… ?'

No, it can't be.

No matter how much power is spreading now, if you think about what you've shown so far.

There is no way that the person who aroused feelings of trust in himself was the one who inherited the blood of a witch who is now extinct in the realm of mankind.

'But why…'

The moment when such trust created a moment of hesitation.

The power to oppress my mind grew stronger, and eventually the physical force created by the mana that tried to spread towards him began to subside.

Not knowing that everything I've shown you so far is to delay the time that can turn my body into a piece of meat the moment I perceive the power by a few seconds.

"… Was the hypnosis good?"

How long has it been since then?

Dave approaches Ymir as if he is not relieved even though his power is fully activated.

In his words and actions, there was no consideration or kindness that he had shown before, but even though he was facing him, Ymir was not aware of that fact.

"Call me master."

Even if he made an unreasonable request to himself, he did not show his displeasure as before.

"… Yes."

What came out of the mouth that finally opened.

"Yes, master. Tell me please."

A statement of respect for others that she thought would never come out of her mouth.

It's just a formality because it's said in a crazy state, but Dave drew a deep smile on his lips as if that was enough.

***

After completely capturing Martin, the receptionist of the guild.

Using the moment of her relationship with her as an excuse, I had the opportunity to collect information that only the staff of her adventurer's guild could access.

At first, we knew that it happened because we were both speechless and drunk, but even if it was her mistake and accident, she would want to forget what happened at the time.

"… This is the end of our relationship with you."

"Yes. I know. I am also sorry for what happened yesterday. I am also aware that I have offended Mr. Martin…"

"Since you are an adventurer too, I will visit the guild a few times, so it won't be rare to meet you, but that is just a meeting between an office worker and an adventurer. If you dig into it any further, I won't stay still, so know that."

Her meeting with her ended with that.

But as much as I got what she wanted, I also had no intention of flirting with her anymore.

"…I'm lucky, that a dungeon related to witches has just been activated."

What I asked of Martin was extremely simple.

Among the information collected by the guild, whether there is something related to witches, and whether there are adventurers who are investigating or conducting related quests.

In response, Martin recently discovered a dungeon with the Walpurgis pattern engraved on it, and taught that the current dungeon was given priority to attack by discoverers under the guild's rules.

Considering that the rewards that can be obtained from dungeons are considerable, it can be said that it is an unconventional benefit that grants monopoly rights to one party, albeit temporarily.

Of course, if I didn't do that, it would be natural that no one would be enthusiastic about excavating the dungeon, but I thought it would be better from my point of view if I was attacking the dungeon for the first time anyway.

Attacking a place that no one has ever occupied has a special meaning in itself.

In other words, for me, who only needs 'assortment to investigate places related to witches', it will make it easier to lead the situation.

"Are you the porter recommended by the guild?"

The leader of the party who temporarily entered to have such an assortment was a woman with an impressive outfit and red pigtails that was not like an adventurer.

She's a staff, and judging from the decorations on her hair, she seems to be a wizard… Well, nothing strange.

No matter how high-class wizards are, it's not like there aren't any among adventurers, and if you have the skills and leeway to excavate dungeons, the level of this party will be in the upper-middle class.

"Haa, looking at my career, my only official experience was going to artificial dungeons a few times."

And a higher rank means a higher level of pride.

There were many cases where I hired a handyman like a porter because I didn't reach out for chores, but the sorceress' eyes were not so good when I entered the party as a porter.

"Well, wouldn't it be okay? According to the documents sent by the guild, there are S-class adventurers in the party this young boy belongs to."

"S-class or whatever, they're just porters. Hearing the name S-class, I thought they would send a decent person, but to say he was a handyman, Neris is completely disappointed!"

… And.

There are all the stars in the world, but I'm not a kid, but it's the first time I see myself in my name.

"Well, it would be convenient to have at least one porter, right?"

A pig with pimples on his glasses who is troubled by such a woman's attitude and tries to convince her.

Looking at her armor, the one who seemed to be a avant-garde stammered and spoke, and an archer who was skinny like a dried anchovy next to him chimed in.

"Yeah, that's right. As there are chores, we have more time to serve Neris! Is this our first time attacking a new dungeon? Is it better to have more space? …"

"Moreover, it's just that the grade is low, but in the job search papers this guy handed out, it says that it's only for the purpose of visiting the dungeon."

"Y-yes, buhi-hee! You don't have to pay a fee to use it as a porter. You can pamper yourself without paying a dime!"

"… Hmm, if you say it that way, it can't be helped."

A sorceress who finally convinced the party members who seemed less distant.

In particular, as if the fact that she didn't ask for any compensation made her trust high, she started approaching me without much doubt.

"There blonde."

"Ah yes. My name is Dave."

"Heh heh, do you want a noble person like me to remember the names of a thousand things? Like a cheeky guy."

… Anyone who hears it will know you're a noble.

Shit, why are all the parties that I entered to infiltrate only the strange ones.

"I don't know what kind of mind you had or what you went through before you joined this party, but if you want to suck honey by joining our party, you have to follow the rules of the party. So from now on, like these idiots, obey my words absolutely. Do you know what I mean?"

"Yes, yes. All right."

He roughly matched the rhythm, but after all, he was not a person to be liked even with empty words.

I'd say it's worse than Ymir because it's not cheap…

Yeah, Ymir, at least he wasn't fighting with people who weren't related to him.

"Hoo-wook, whoo-wook. It's fortunate that the porter just helped."

However, there was no reason to guess why the sorceress had such a tendency.

Even the guys at the party right now have their necks bent like acne pigs, anchovies, and turtles…

Except for the leader of the party, all of them were guys who didn't seem to be able to take care of themselves at all.

"With this, the chance to earn points from Neris-nim has increased."

"Boo hee hee! Well, what should I ask you to do first, it would be nice if I could sleep on my shoulders…"

It is a human figure that I often saw when I played a dungeon guide in the past.

A group often referred to as the 'culling party'. Its members were created by gathering among adventurers who had been culled for some reason.

In fact, a party is a group that desperately needs communication between party members, and no matter how good your skills are, if your teamwork is poor, you will be implicitly listed on the blacklist.

Those who were weeded out at each party inevitably or by taking advantage of the common ground of being alienated build bonds and create a fixed party, and there are often women who voluntarily come to the 'culling party' where those who have been weeded out like this gather.

With the psychology of becoming a snake's head rather than a dragon's tail…

"If you get points this time, dating Neris-sama… Hee hee!"

And, of course, the guys in the culling party are mostly guys who have never held a woman's hand properly.

For them, the presence of a woman at a party is considered a great blessing in itself.

"Stop, don't hit the player. Neris-sama is everyone's princess!"

"But there is such a thing as one in ten, right? Maybe, maybe…"

Oh yeah. It doesn't mean that it's good for them to be treated like slaves.

Maybe, even if it's just one thing she's willing to be able to do with her, her expectation of what she is doing is hiding in her mind…

"By the way, hmm…"

While I was reviewing the state of the party, Neris, who was watching me carefully, began to paint a fishy smile on her lips.

"… What, you're pretty handsome for being a porter, aren't you?"

"Thank you for the compliment."

"You should be grateful. It is none other than this body that praises you."

Hee hee, the arrogance of a culled wizard who doesn't even have the courage to step into the realm of real wizards is skyrocketing.

From my point of view, who even risked his life to attack a human who could be called a real dragon, he was truly an abomination.

"But still, before going into the main strategy, wouldn't it be better to tell you about your fraction? I'll teach you before tomorrow's dungeon exploration, so come to my room."

"At night, to your room?"

"It won't be a bad story for you either. Because there will never be another chance in your life to be loved by a noble being like me."]

Oh yeah. If you give me a little stimulation while roughing it up, I think I'll be happy, what did you think?

And looking at the reaction of the disassembled guys over there, it probably seemed closer to one-sided selling than a physical conversation.

"Me, that guy. How dare you try to monopolize the princess' reward… !"

"Be arrogant on the subject of a rookie!"

"Haha! It's just a disposable punching bag anyway. Don't worry, we have the upper hand."

… Even that would be a good reward for those guys who are hungry for women.

Anyway, it's a temporary party, so you'll need to tune in to the rhythm.

"Aaaaah~♥ Please make me feel better oh oh ~~~ ♥"

What.

Although it is planned that she will be subjected to her training, not me.
