Sitting upright immediately, Nozomi gulped her nervousness and said, "The door's open."
Afraid of who was going to come through the door, Nozomi if possible wanted to hide behind the bed. But didn't do so since it would only let the other one know she was scared of them.
With her anxiety reaching the peak as the door's Knob was turning, Nozomi almost shut her eyes from fear but stopped after seeing the hand of who was on the other side of the door.
It was a well-maintained woman's hand.
Letting our a sigh secretly, Nozomi no longer felt too scared as the woman walked inside the room.
'Korean... '
Having been a fan of Korean dramas, Nozomi instantly figured out that the woman who entered was a Korean.
Despite being a little stunned, Nozomi didn't think too much of it or find it too surprising that a Korean woman was in front of her.
"Can I help you?"
"Are you the one that Oppa caused a huge commotion and brought here?"
"Oppa?"
As Hyun-Jae nodded her head, Nozomi's impression of Natsu further went down.
'He already has a girlfriend, but still forcibly brought me here?!!'
"Yes. Why?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to see who it was that Oppa brought."
Observing each other in silence as if silently reviewing the other one, Hyun-Jae was the one who spoke first.
"I won't forgive you if Oppa gets hurt because of you."
"Forgive me?"
"That's just my way of saying, I'll kill you."
Shuddering a little from listening to the words which didn't suit the woman's face, Nozomi unconsciously moved a little backwards.
What followed next was a period of awkward silence, which was broken when Nozomi finally asked, "How could you support a cold-blooded murderer like him?"
"Cold-blooded murderer? Humph! What a joke."
"You don't know how many humans he has killed to increase the levels of his Dungeons?"
"You consider that being cold-blooded? What a sheltered princess you are. You only see what is on the surface."
"I'm not a sheltered princess!"
Scoffing at this, Hyun-Jae proceeded to tell Nozomi about how she was almost raped and killed before Natsu stepped in and saved her.
"Who's the cold-blooded one in this case? My Oppa, or the humans you seem to care so much about."
"That... You can't blame the entire Human Race since a group of men were in the wrong."
"Stop kidding around. Every single one of us women that Oppa saved and gave a new life to was either almost killed or raped!"
"That... I didn't kn... "
"Of course you didn't know princess. Either way, listen to me! If my Oppa ever gets hurt because of something you did, I'll defini... "
"Ara ara, what are you doing here Lady Hyun-Jae? Does Master know you've come here?"
Stopping the middle of her sentence and turning towards Grayfia who had the same smile as always, Hyun-Jae gritted her teeth and said, "I'm leaving."
"Oh, in that case, I bid you farewell."
Smiling even in the face of the angry glare she was receiving, Grayfia patiently waited until Hyun-Jae finally disappeared.
"Are you okay Lady Nozomi?"
Nodding her head weakly, Nozomi's eyes landed on the tray in Grayfia's hands.
"Is that for me?"
"Yes. Master thought that you might prefer to eat by yourself since this is your first day here."
"Oh, I see... "
Placing the tray which had quite a lot of dishes in it on the bed, Grayfia said, "She's not a bad person, just a bit too zestful when something is related to Master."
"Why do you call him, Master? Does that pervert get off on it?"
Chuckling and shaking her head, Grayfia revealed the truth of how she was created by Natsu, and therefore that's just how she always called him.
"Then the woman who was here just a while back, was she too?"
"Created and given fake memories which made her hate the humans outside the Dungeons?"
As Nozomi eagerly nodded her head since those were the exact same thoughts inside her head, Grayfia once again chuckled a little.
"She's a real human, just the way the stories she told you are."
"So it was all real... "
"Unfortunately, yes."
The next few moments were passed in silence which allowed Nozomi to think properly until Grayfia finally said, "Please have your dinner before it gets cold. I'll be back later to take the dishes away."
That was how Nozomi's first night inside the Great Tokyo Dungeon ended.
Not at all in the way she expected and feared it would happen. But quite normally with just a few speed bumps if she may say so.
...
"Risking your own life and creating such a huge commotion for a single woman, was it worth the effort Natsu-Sama?"
"Does it matter anymore, Amaterasu? What needed to be done, has been done already."
Not giving a proper reply, Natsu was getting ready to post his second recruitment notice for all female Dungeon Masters to surrender to him on the social network.
At the same time, he was also making preparations to use the Random Dungeon Teleportation Button and start conquering more Dungeons.
With the only difference being he would be going solo, and not taking any of his Personal Guards, or Esmeralda with him.
It was time to fight by himself, and use the experience to train his real-life combat skills as well.
