“Rho-sama. Is it possible to create a dungeon?”

Surprised, Anna asked the pervert back.

“Of course. A dungeon is a creation. It didn’t form naturally.”
“Were the dungeons built by human hands?”
“No, it is not.”

To Anna’s astonishment, the pervert denied it flatly without changing his expression.

“Then by whom was it created?”
“Many were created by the hands of the gods”
“Eh?”
“Huh?　If it was created by the power of God, isn’t it impossible for us to do something about it?”
“That’s true. It would be difficult with the two of you now.”

Hmm? What do you mean? You said we could make it ourselves, but now you’re saying we won’t be able to?

“To create a labyrinth requires a power that transcends human knowledge. Otherwise, you would not be able to do something like creating the sky underground!”
“I suppose that’s true, but that wouldn’t solve the problem, would it?”
“Not really.”

The pervert said that and looked at me with a smug face. He was quiet now because Anna was there, but if they had been alone, he would have teased me, saying something like, ‘Pupupu. Allen-shi doesn’t know this either?’

“What do you mean?”

The pervert stares at me again. After a few moments of silence, the pervert suddenly opened his mouth.

“Creating a dungeon requires summoning and using the power of the gods.”
“Summoning the power of God?”
“That’s right. However, neither of your magical powers has yet reached that level. That’s why it’s ‘difficult for the two of you right now.'”
“Rho-sama. Then what kind of training is required to obtain such magical power?”
“Anastasia, that’s a good question. There are many ways to gain magical power, but you can’t reach the required level by just doing the usual training. It is only possible if you receive the highest level of blessings from God and continue to work hard for several decades.”
“So what are the other options?”
“If your magic is not enough, you can borrow magic from others.”
“Borrow from others?”
“Yes, just like Loringus did.”
“Loringus-sama did?”
“That’s right. You eat the seeds of the Lunar Magic Grass. There’s a high chance that you’ll lose your life if you do so, but if you don’t, you’ll gain magical powers far beyond the limits of a human.”
“Lose your life?!”
“That’s right. You can’t tell if it will kill you or not until you eat it. But if you two are on a mission, I am sure God will save you.”

No, no. That’s the last resort. I can’t let Anna take that risk in the first place. If someone needs to eat them, it’s better if I eat the seeds.

“I will do it.”
“Anna?!”
“Allen is an indispensable person to the Ramslett Kingdom. I cannot let him risk his life here.”
“No way! Anna is the one who is needed! I don’t have Ramslett’s blood in me. Besides, Anna is the reason I became a part of Ramslett. I can’t live in a world without Anna!”
“But Allen, without you Ramslett would–“
“Noo! I’m going to live with Anna. There’s no point in living otherwise!”

I held Anna’s hand, and she held mine back.

“Allen…..”
“Anna…..”
“Both of you. I understand your feelings, but please wait a little longer before entering their world.”
“”Ah…..””

Being suddenly pointed out, we felt embarrassed, and without any hesitation, we let go of each other.

“Okay? You’re more likely to die if you eat it alone. If you limit the amount you eat at one time to an appropriate amount, you won’t die.”

Say that first.

I somehow managed to swallow the words that were about to come out of my mouth.

“Besides, it should be the time of year when the Lunar Magic Grass blooms. Let me take you to the forest where the Lunar Magic Grass is located. I have an errand that requires me to visit that forest as well.”

I see. From the way the forest witch spoke, she seemed to have some kind of connection with the pervert, and the pervert must have some reason in his way.

“Well then, Anastasia, please tell the Queen that I’m going to take Miryl away.”
“Yes.”

Anna obeys the pervert’s words and leaves the room.

“Ah, I’m tired”
“You’re still the same”
“Allen-shi is still as foul-mouthed as ever. Moreover, if I hadn’t pointed it out, Allen-shi would have ended up wandering around without a clue.”
“Ah, well, I’m grateful for that.”
“If you are grateful, then hurry up and give birth to a daughter and bring her to me.”
“……you are a real creep, you know”

Oops, shoot. I accidentally let my true feelings slip out.

“That’s rude! I just want to admire! And besides, Allen-shi is my comrade!”
“No, definitely not.”
“That being said, there is no doubt that Allen-shi will have a daughter and will dote on her! This is the prophecy of the Spirit of Light!”
“…..By the way, why are you assuming that a girl will be born? It could even be a boy, right?”
“Definitely a girl! It’s the prophecy of the Spirit of Light!”
“No matter how you look, isn’t that a curse?”
“Ah, still as rude as ever!”

The pervert smiled a little wryly at that.

“Well, I guess I exaggerated when I said it was a curse, but you never know which one will be born.”
“That’s not true! Definitely, a girl will be born!”

Saying this, the pervert had a look of triumph on his face for some reason.
