Chapter 127: The Twilight Road 4

This is bad, by the time I thought that it was too late.

The hellhound already heads to attack Drill. I understand that she is frozen because of the roar but she shouldn’t just standing there. But I can’t say anything except as expected of Takioto-san. He was already moved to follow-up.

Well, he has been keeping the distance where he can move out to help us anytime and maintain his position to be in between Drill and the hellhound so it was natural that he could make it in time.

“UOOOOOOOO!”

He punches the hellhound with his stole despite the size difference.

The hellhound that was heading toward Drill got hit and sent toward the wall with a loud crashing noise. However, the hellhound immediately rose to its feet, shook its head left and right and glare at Takioto-san.

Takioto glanced at Drill and give her a reassuring smile. Then he immediately turned his gaze toward the hellhound and stand between it and Drill.

“Sorry. I can’t let you pass.”

Saying so, Takioto-san calmly walks toward the hellhound. He put his hand on his katana and approaching the hellhound step by step while emitting a tremendous amount of magic power from all over his body.

Perhaps the hellhound got cautious toward Takioto-san, it clenched its teeth and starts walking sideways.

As the distance between it and Takioto-san was about ten meters, the hellhound jumped back and greatly widen the distance.

The hellhound continues to back away while Takioto-san keeps walking toward it. The sight alone tells the story.

This is Takioto Kousuke-san.

This is really Takioto-san.

He’s a pervert but irritatingly strong, irritatingly cool, and irritatingly kind.

Takioto-san doesn’t need me or Drill to fight this hellhound. If he feels like it, he can take it down by himself, and easily at that.

The hellhound raises its head up and howl.

“OoowoooooNNnnn! !”

I can feel my body shaking like I was electrified. Was it trying to intimidate him with its howl?

Seeing Takioto-san walking toward it with a smile, I couldn’t think of it as anything but a crying voice.

As I collect myself, I take a look at how Drill is doing.

I don’t know what happened but she is grasping her chest while staring blankly at Takioto-san. I was worried and readied my recovery magic while checking her for injury.

However, this is.

“Aah…..it might already be useless.”

She has fallen. In a sense, this might already be too late. Well, I get the feeling that it is only a matter of time.

Her cheeks dyed slightly red, rough breathing. holding her chest like it is painful, all that while sending a heated gaze at Takioto-san. Somehow I can see heart marks floating in her pupil as well.

And I went out of my way to worry about her too. I languidly let out a huge sigh.

I can understand her feelings.

Although it is frustrating to admit, Takioto-san in a dungeon is an Ikemen (TLN: Good-looking guy). Well, normally he is one too. I think he is a person that the more you know him, the more you fell in love with him.

Everyone always acts according to the image they perceived of him so those who don’t take a close look at him will never think about him like that.

However, if they have the opportunity to know him as his classmates then it won’t be like that. Then when you get to know him even more……….

“What are you doing? C’mon, focus, focus.”

As I cast healing magic on her, Drill reacted in surprise and looked at me. Is she trying to say something? When she opens her mouth we heard the sound like something got struck down and turn to look at Takioto-san at the same time.

There, the hellhound is missing one of its legs and starts rolling on the ground.

Takioto-san immediately closes the distance while returning his katana to the sheath and immediately draw it again.

I couldn’t follow his katana’s trajectory with my eyes. The same probably goes to Drill as well. When we noticed it, he already swung his katana and the hellhound stopped moving completely.

Takioto-san steps about one meter back while keeping his eyes on the hellhound. Then he slowly sheaths his katana. At the same time, as if waiting for that to happen, the hellhound’s head cleanly fell off.

Seeing that, Takioto-san relaxed his shoulders and dispersed his magic power while taking a deep breath.

As he breathes in.

“STINKKK!”

I think he’s an idiot. If you do that in front of the source of the smell, you should know how it will turn out.

Takioto-san gets away from it as if he is trying to escape. He draws his katana out again and sniffs on it.

Seriously, what are you doing?

…………………..

I also smell my gauntlet.

It’s fine. Probably.

If it smells then I can turn to Takioto-san and ask him to reimburse me as a joke and send it for repair or buy a new one later. I might be a little wasteful but it should be manageable.

Takioto-san quickly retrieves the magic stone and head toward us. However, even though he defeated the boss his face doesn’t seem happy at all

“It was ridiculously stinky.”

That’s the first thing you say after defeating a boss? I painfully understand where he is coming from though.

Seeing Takioto-san dropping his shoulder, I suddenly think.

Since a situation like this rarely come by, should I tease him a little bit?

“Aah. Um, you see, can you stay at least five meters away from me…….”

Covering my nose, I crunched my eyebrows and turn away.

“C’MON…….!”

It is very effective.

“Fufu, It’s a joke. I’m just messing with you.”

Saying so, I cast healing magic on Takioto-san. I don’t see any wound on him but just in case.

However, he anxiously sniffs around his clothes again. It can’t be helped so I hugged his arm and press my chest and nose on him. Showing off to Drill.

“See. It’s alright isn’t it.”

As I thought, Takioto-san is really a pervert.

“Is, is that so. But I want to take a bath just in case………are you alright Gabriella-san?”

“Y, yeah. Of, of course……umm”

Replied, Gabby who was staring at us with a surprise.

How flustered she is. In a sense, she is certainly not okay.

“Umm, since earlier, you have been calling me [Gabby] for a while now……..”

Ah…., Takioto-san’s face distorted for a moment. He tried to say something but it is completely incoherent.

It’s refreshing to see Takioto-san in such a panic. Even so, [Gabby] huh.

With the sound of something creaking, I return to myself. It seems I was strongly clenching my gauntlet.

“S, Sorry, it was kinda easier to call you that so……I will properly call you Gabriella-san from now on—-”

“Gabby is fine! Please call me Gabby from now on!”

Takioto-san was taken aback by Gabby’s sudden loud voice.

“Ye, Yeah. Then……Ga–”

Hearing Takioto-san saying that I thought that this is bad.

“Understood! I will be in your care then Gabby-san!” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

When I noticed, The happy-looking Drill has her mouth hanging open while Takioto-san was also taken aback by me.

“Ah, I never said that you could call me that!”

“Then I will call you Drill-san then.”

“What did you say, are you trying to pick a fight!?”

“Then it’s fine if I call you Gabby-san right! Looking forward to working with you Gabby-san!”

I can understand the reason her mouth is rapidly open and close like that. But I have no plans to withdraw either. I won’t allow Takioto-san alone to specially call Drill like that.

Above all, I was envious.

Trying to close the subject, I change the topic.

“Then, let’s go ahead and continue! We already defeated the boss so there would be a treasure chest or some kind of goal ahead of us right!”

As we head toward the magic circle that appeared after the boss died, Takioto-san hurriedly approaches me.

“Wa, wait a minute.:

“What’s wrong?” 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

“No, you see. Don’t you suddenly want to take a detour?”

Ha? I muttered that without thinking. Somehow, my true nature always comes out when I talk to Takioto-san. Is it because he is easy to talk to?

“What are you saying all of a sudden? Isn’t a straight path better?”

That’s why we should keep going.

“A, about that. I kinda have a bad feeling about it.”

I don’t feel anything like that at all though.

“Even if you say that there’s no path beside this one isn’t it? Let’s go! C’mon, Dri……Gabby-san too!”

With that in mind, I pushed Takioto-san’s back into the transfer magic circle. Doing so, Gabby who seems like she wanted to say something follows us into the magic circle.

What we found is a treasure chest, some kind of magic circle, something that looks like a projector and an unactivated transfer magic circle.

“It’s a treasure chest!”

It is a treasure chest that we found in a hidden room with a boss guarding it. Naturally, our expectations are high. From what I can see, there’s no trap attached to it either. When I ask Takioto-san whether it is fine to open it, He gives me a nod with a look of resignation.

Despite feeling the sense of wrongness from his action, I decided to open the chest.

“Are these……..clothes?”

There are four sets of clothes inside.
