Chapter 1406 - Mysterious Letter ③

Although invisible to the eye, it was as if there was a thick fog around the place, making it difficult to breathe, and the magic power density felt like magic power itself was clinging to my skin.

There’s not a single vegetation in the Forbidden Lands, as if the place was a total wilderness.

[……Alice, am I really heading to the right place?]

[Yes, just keep going straight and you’ll find the dungeon. The entrance is reasonably large, so you should be able to find it easily. I think it would be visible after you walk for 5 minutes……]

Checking with Alice for directions for a moment, I started walking. Although it feels like I’m heading to a hidden dungeon, the place I’m heading to isn’t a dungeon.

The dungeon itself is a place that no one has ever cleared and no one ever challenges it. It’s only occasionally challenged by the War King’s subordinates as a training exercise.

It seems like among the War King’s subordinates…… there were a lot of hot-blooded people like Kong-san and Agni-san, repeatedly trying out challenging the dungeon again and again, so a rule was placed where one won’t be able to re-enter for a while after challenging a dungeon. From what I heard, one can only challenge this dungeon once every 5 years, as re-entry is not allowed for 5 years.

After walking straight for about 5 minutes, just like Alice said, I saw a building in the distance. It looked more like a large gate than I had expected.

When I approached the gate, which was several meters wide, I saw a magic circle and an explanatory signpost, which said that the challengers would be teleported to the dungeon if they touched the magic circle on the gate.

Well, my purpose wasn’t to go to the dungeon, so I went behind the gate as Ein-san told me. Then, when I held out the magic circle I had in my hand, a magic circle appeared and the scenery changed.

It had this image of a stone basement, feeling like a large, empty space. While I was restlessly moving my gaze around, I heard what seemed like something bouncing, and when I turned around…… I saw a slime about the size of a baseball bouncing toward me.

Its color is light pink like rose wine, and its size is the same as a regular Slime.

[……!]

[Ahh, errr, are you Roze-san? Nice to meet you, I’m Miyama Kaito!]

(Nice to meet you~~ I’m Roze~~)

Unnn? What’s this? I had heard that Roze-san couldn’t speak, but just now, I heard their voice echoing in my head. This kinda feels familiar.

Ahh, when Frea-san spoke to me in her Dragon form, it kinda felt like this. This means I’m currently reading Roze-san’s magic wavelengths huh?

(Meeting the rumored Kaito-kun makes me happy. It makes me happy.)

[I’m happy to see you too, Roze-san. Thank you for inviting me today.]

[Ehehe, you’re welcome…… Unya? Arere? Kaito-kun, are you reading Roze’s magic wavelength?)

[Yes, thanks to Shiro-san’s blessing, I seem to be able to recognize magic wavelengths as words.]

(Uwahhh! That’s amazing! I thought you wouldn’t be able to understand me, but it seems like you can. I’m so happy~~)

[Whoa……]

Perhaps feeling happy that I could recognize their magic wavelengths as words, Roze-san leaped and bounced toward me.

I hurriedly caught them with my hand and found them cool and soft, and their jelly-like texture feels very pleasant. I wonder if this is how all Slimes feel like? I had never touched a Slime before, so this was a new experience for me.

(Roze was preparing for when Kaito-kun came. I’ve prepared tea and some sweet treats! It’s over there, come with me!)

[Over there huh. I understand.]

(Let’s goooo~~)

Riding my shoulder, Roze-san told me while bouncing up and down. How cute. Following Roze-san instructions, we arrived…… in front of a stone wall.

[……It’s a wall.]

(You see, it may be a wall, but when Roze is here, it will become a door~~ Ei!)

[Ohhh……]

As if following Roze-san’s words, the stone wall moved like kneading clay and changed into the shape of a door.

[Speaking of which, Roze-san is the one managing the dungeon, right?]

(That’s right~~ Everything in this dungeon can be moved and reshaped as Roze wants~~ Roze is the Dungeon Master here. Ehhen!)

[Heehhh…… Roze-san is amazing then.]

(Ehehe, Roze is amazing? I’m great?)

[Yes.]

(Ehehehe, I’m so happy~~ I got praised!)

Roze-san bounced around my shoulder, seemingly expressing their happiness with their whole body. I see, they certainly have this cuteness that resembles Raz-san.

Smiling at the sight of their cuteness, I opened the door and proceeded forward.

<Afterword>

Doctor M : [In other words, my child’s cuteness has a healing effect, but the more one knows about my beloved child, the better the effect will be…… I’ll extend the time until you’re thawed, so you can listen as much as you can!!!]

Serious-senpai (currently being defrosted): […… (S- Someone save meeeeee)]
