"Now, let's go!"
Captain Meld faced everyone with a solemn expression as he made the instruction.
"....."
Everyone was at a loss, but as Kouki stepped forward and shouted, "Everyone, let's go! Let's save this world from the demons!"
They all looked at each other, but as Kouki stared in the direction of Suzuki, who had his own group to follow, Suzuki also stared at Kouki for a moment and walked forward.
Naturally, as Suzuki walked, the rest followed, which made Kouki frown, feeling a little uncomfortable, though he wasn't sure why.
'Even though it is just money...'
Kouki was a hero, after all, so while he never said it out loud, he knew well that she was
Would they be alright?
Unlike Kouki, who had blind confidence, especially because of his job as the "Hero," which made him practically the most overpowered character among all, it was different from the rest.
"Don't worry. We will start at the beginner level, and those monsters are weak. A normal knight can kill those monsters easily, and as all of you are special, you can defeat them easily. Also, I am, and everyone in the knight will stay with all of you at the same time, guarding you, teaching you, and even preparing to sacrifice for you all so that you can grow up, so don't worry."
"Captain..."
Captain Meld's words moved everyone, as they could see that he would really sacrifice his life for everyone. No one thought that Meld was lying, since during their two weeks of training, Meld had been living with them, training and eating together, bonding their relationship, as if they were a mentor and a student.
Compared to the king or the pope, their trust in Meld was higher.
'Which, if the king or priest knew, they might kill him...'
Suzuki sighed inwardly, thinking about how troublesome the feudal society of this world was, and he knew that the closer Meld was to everyone, the more likely it was for Meld to be killed by the King and the Pope.
After all, for someone to hold the trust of everyone from another world, the group of heroes, it was the number one recipe to be killed, yet this was also the reason why Suzuki also trusted Meld, since this guy was so simple.
"Don't worry, Captain Meld."
Still, as usual, Kouki was Kouki. "I will slay all the demons, so you won't have to do anything! No, we will all fight all the demons together, so you and the knights won't do anything!"
"....."
Kouki, could you shut up for a moment?!
Everyone wanted to curse Kouki, but they didn't dare to, since Kouki was a hero. If somehow Kouki didn't like them, what would happen?
So, they all looked at Suzuki to say something, but he didn't.
Instead, his focus hadn't been on the dungeon, and even though it was his first time entering the Great Labyrinth, he felt that he was okay, since somehow, this place reminded him of the dungeon in Solo Leveling.
How many dungeons had been conquered by Kim Min-Jun?
Suzuki wasn't sure, but at least Kim Min-jun, his counterpart in the world of Solo Leveling, cleared up at least three dungeons in a day.
So, even though the situation of the dungeon, known as the Great Labyrinth, was gloomy, stuffy, and tight, which was simply hell-like for someone with claustrophobia, he was all calm.
Instead, what made him a bit nervous was the situation of Shizuku and Kaori.
Even though Shizuku had told him that it was all okay, was it really okay?
Also, Kaori had just lost her virginity last night, and somehow, she decided to join the battle the next day. She might be a priest, which enabled her to heal all her wounds and discomforts, yet even though Suzuki was prepared to support her, he could see that she seemed sharp, ready, and even relaxed.
"..."
Was he really that amazing?
Yet, he could feel Shizuku's gaze on him, but he wouldn't run away, and like a man be, he knew that he had to face this problem and told the truth despite Kaori was fine to keep everything as a secret and just kept it as a mistake, yet when he thought of her words, "Don't worry, Suzuki-kun. I won't tell Shizuku, but if I need your help... then, help me, okay?"
"....." Suzuki.
"Are you okay, Suzuki-kun?" Sugawara Taeko, a young woman with auburn hair, styled in twintails, looked at him with worried eyes.
"Yeah, I am fine. What about you, Sugawara-san?"
Who was this young woman?
If he had to say, she was one of the 2nd most popular girl groups, right under Shizuku and Kaori, but he felt a bit worried when they were close, especially when he knew her job was a "Whip Master."
A job that was given to them, as they came to this world, didn't come randomly instead, it came from the core of that someone, the personality, habits, and everything, which was like Kaori, who got a Priest due of her kind and gentle heart, so what kind of a personality or hidden things that Taeko h so that she could have such a job?
"...I will be lying if I am not nervous, but compared to me, you are in a more dangerous position, right?"
Unlike Aiko, who somehow stayed at the castle, Suzuki, who could also do the same, and even befriended the Minister of Finance, came with them.
"As long as I am careful, it will be fine, and you all need me to be the backer, right? After all, who will carry all of the things?"
Yes, everyone except him had no space inventory-like ability.
Suzuki had the Absolute Storage, but the others?
They could only carry everything on their own, and considering how long they would stay in the dungeon, which they might even stay for a month or more, they needed him to carry all of the things they needed, especially food, potions, and water.
"B-By the way..."
"Yes?"
"Y-You made the portable toilet, right?"
Still, while the guys were thoughtless, all the girls, the women, knew they needed one thing: the toilet. After all, unlike guys, who might be fine to do it outside, it was impossible for them to do so!
"...I have them, but don't you think it is weird for me to keep them?"
Yes, Suzuki kept the toilet and all other necessary things, yet was it okay for them to let him keep all of that?
"Don't worry. I am fine with that."
"....."
Yup, this woman was sadistic.
"Also, unlike others, I like you more."
"...I have a girlfriend. Don't say something that might make me be stabbed here, okay?"
Yet, Taeko only laughed, as Suzuki could feel Shizuku's stare become menacing.
"RAAAAA!"
Still, fortunately, the first monster came into their view, and quickly broke the calm that they had built till now.
