As I looked in shock at the collapsed void, I raised my left hand and hit Sofia hard on the back of the head, who was looking in the same direction as me.
I got even more angry when I saw the hunter ID she wore on her collar.
"What kind of C-rank hunter are you? Every time you guess the riddle, one of these areas will disappear. Isn't it obvious?"
Sofia screamed it hurt so much as she held the back of her head
Sofia's voice was so loud that her scream was heard over and over again, echoing throughout the room and on the surface of the lava.
When Sofia heard her own echoing voice, she suddenly stopped shouting and, like a child, began to enjoy the echoing of the room.
"SOFIA IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD"
" Sofia is the most beautiful girl in the world "
" Sofia is the most beautiful girl in the world "
"Hahaha, see, everyone says I'm the most beautiful girl in the world."
I held my head with my hands and bent down to the ground and seriously started to think about how such a stupid person could be a C-rank Hunter.
As Sofia continued to entertain the acoustic level of the room, I suddenly realized something.
I stood up immediately and guessed the answer to the riddle this time.
"The answer is echo. When we take a step, our footsteps echo, when we speak, the words we speak echo, and if the place you are in is an acoustically rich, that is, an echoing room, absolutely every sound we make there will echo."
After my prediction, I stopped suspiciously and started waiting to see if another area would be demolished. Maybe the next area that would collapse would be the ground under my feet and I would burn to death in the lava.
What I feared did not happen, and a new portal appeared in the middle of the room, just like the one we used to get to this floor.
"Wow you are perfect Eren-sama, it was so cool that you found the answer to the riddle in one go"
"Eren-sama, uhh, never mind. Let's leave the challenge tower."
At first, I was happy to make a contract with a C-rank hunter, but this happiness did not last long because Sofia was a complete idiot.
Without waiting for Sofia's answer as to whether she should join me or not, I said that I wanted to leave the dungeon without challenging her, and suddenly the area in front of me changed and teleported me to the place where I first entered the dungeon.
A few seconds later, Sofia appeared right behind me. I didn't think much of her leaving the dungeon because even if she was a C-rank Hunter, I really didn't think she could reach high-level floors.
As I ignored Sofia and walked towards the portal to leave the dungeon, a hand reached out and grabbed my shoulder.
"Sofia, I don't care what you say, I don't think we can climb higher floors with you."
When I turned my head, I saw that the person holding my shoulder was a girl of the same age as Sofia, but even though this girl's hair was the same as Sofia, her hair was black and she looked like a complete antisocial with the hoodie she was wearing right now.
"Don't leave me here alone, idiot."
" Who are you "
"Tch my name is Sofia, we have been walking around together a while ago. Before you ask, I will summarize once, my ability is one that turns me into a 3D character and the side effect of this ability makes me act stupid and cute just like some girl characters in cartoons and anime."
The girl's fast-talking explanation completely confused me, but as far as I understood, this person was still Sofia, of course, a little more intelligent and like a normal person.
I didn't have the opportunity to ask any more questions because the girl who introduced herself to me as Sofia kept pushing my shoulder and dragging me towards the portal, and we went through the portal and left the dungeon.
As soon as I left the dungeon, I saw a large crowd gathered here, dozens of reporters and cameramen filming the hunters entering and leaving the dungeon. When I looked at Sofia, I saw that she had pulled down her hood and completely hid her face, and at the same time, she was hiding on my back and continuing to point out.
Even though I still didn't fully understand what happened, I wasn't stupid either. I acted as if nothing had happened, and walked away through the crowd, hiding Sofia. During this process, many reporters wanted to ask me questions, but I turned them away and pushed them away.
--------- 15 minutes later
While I was sitting in a small coffee shop on the side of the road, I looked at the girl sitting across the table and drinking her milk coffee with lots of sugar through a straw. I could tell at a glance that she was approximately 15-16 years old. She was quite beautiful for her age, but the loose dresses she wore made her look like a boy.
"Now are you going to explain to me properly what's going on?"
Sofia turned off her latest model phone, which she had never taken her eyes off of since we sat at the table, and looked at me.
"Tch, we could only clean up to 6 floors because of you"
"Huh?, what does this have to do with me? You can continue if you want. I'm just an F rank hunter and I think I've progressed enough."
"Are you stupid or something, you know that I can be quite low intelligence in my 3D character form. All you had to do was come with me and solve the puzzle games, my power would be enough to reach at least 20 floors, look, all I got is this ass dagger."
Speaking of which, unlike her , I gained a skill and plenty of experience points, not a physical reward. While the girl continued to mutter to herself, I silently opened my system profile and checked it.

After examining my system screen, I aligned my coffee cup on the table with Sofia's coffee cup and looked at Sofia, who was still talking.
