Chapter 36: Can you afford to pull out as soon as you think it’s dangerous?

「We don’t know what happened to them after that. Well I’m sure that they are living a shitty life.」

That was the end of Hans’s story.

I was disgusted with the Licht, who had caused more problems than I could have imagined. I still find myself wondering if he’s just making it up as he goes along. I would be more convinced if they said he was suicidal.

Colette must have known how scary the aristocracy was, but she probably couldn’t just stop him, all by herself. Her resentment and sadness at being abandoned and her desire for her childhood friend to live a healthy life collided and mixed together to create an indescribable feeling.

At the same time, I was so pissed off at Licht that I thought he had those kind of feelings for me too.

In retrospect, there were many signs. If only I had known this would happen.

「Is that enough?」

My gloomy feelings were now interrupted by Hans’s words.

I looked at him and saw that he looked worried.

I guess he wanted to know if it was enough to pay to me for allowing him to stay in my house.

「Oh, no problem. To be honest, it’s been a big help. Just a little distance from Kurt and you won’t get much of this kind of information.」
「That’s good. I don’t have much more to tell you, and I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough to thank you for the night.」

In the countryside, outside information is hard to come by. I was satisfied to hear such a valuable story, so I’ll do you a favor.

「It was more than enough information. You’ve given me too much, so I’ll give you a little something in return.」
「Thank you?」
「I’ll give you some special information about a dungeon that has been discovered near Yang. I was the first to discover it and I’m the only one who has seen it. Isn’t that enough of a thank you?」

The color of Hans and the other’s eyes changed.

「Are you sure about that?」

「Of course I am! I have no reason to lie to you. If you don’t want to hear it, just say it.」
「I need some information right now. Please, let me hear it.」
「Of course. The only monsters that have been confirmed to appear in the dungeon are undead. Skeleton Knights, Ghosts and Wraiths appear near the entrance of the dungeon. I was also attacked by a Giant Skeleton Knight, which seemed to be an unique individual. I’ve been to many dungeons in Kurt, and I can assure you that the difficulty is at the highest level.」

It was Dare, the restorer, who reacted quickly to the word undead.

She must be tired, but her eyes are sharp.

「Skeleton Night, Wraith … and an unique individual. None of them are the kind of monsters you can find in front of a dungeon entrance.」
「As expected, a healer from the Church knows his stuff.」
「The undead are the Church’s greatest enemy, so I had to learn all about them.」

The Church advocates the eradication of the undead, and from a young age, the Church teaches people to hate the undead. It can be even rephrased as brainwashing.

Even Eva, who has a soft spot for men, has been going around killing undead.

「Hans-san, if this story is true, then it might be difficult for us to explore.」
「But I can’t help but stop looking at the dungeon.」

I can see Hans’s point. The money disappears just by moving around, and in the meantime, income is cut off. If you don’t make even a little more money, it will affect your future.

Hans was troubled by Dare’s point for a while, but he seemed to have made up his mind and asked me a question.

「Can you afford to retreat as soon as you think it’s dangerous?」
「As long as Dare makes that decision and everyone follows it quickly, we’ll be fine.」

The method of education is what it is, but there is no doubt that the one place in the world that has a deep understanding of the undead is the Church and the restorers who are taught directly.

If you would listen to the undead experts, you won’t enter the ruined city, and it would not be difficult for you to return alive. That’s what I thought when I said that.

「All right. That’s what the discoverer said. Let’s do it.」
「Good decision. When we get home, I’ll tell you how to reach the dungeon and survive.」

Even if they made it out of the dungeon in one piece, they wouldn’t be coming back to Yang with any loot. If you run into the knights that the lord has, they’ll confiscate it.

Make sure you earn enough money to survive.

– I can’t understand this line.How come he knows what is that bitch thinking that time and how can he still think like that even after being abandoned? Is this supposed to be an effort of the author to let us know things from that bitch’s perspective without doing a different pov chapter?

[At the same time, I was so pissed off at Licht that I thought he had those kind of feelings for me too.]- What kind of feelings is he talking about? Yayoi?
What the heck! I don’t understand anything in this context and it gives me an incomplete feeling.
