「─── !! …」
「Aya? What’s wrong?」
「N-Nothing. It’s nothing…」
「Really? Then let’s go to that house」

We moved into a cave. It was dimly lit, but not completely invisible, so we wouldn’t need torches.

When I looked in the direction Suzu pointed, I saw a magnificent house that was not appropriate for this cave…

「Why is there a house here!?」
「Eh, now?」

Suzu notices this, but isn’t it too late to notice? The house looks suspicious, but we can’t go beyond the cave because the house is in the way, so we have to go to that house.

───knock knock…

「… We have been waiting for you. Ayane-sama and Suzuka-sama. Please come this way」
「H-Hah…」
「… Thanks」

I was greeted by a very handsome man in a butler’s uniform with a small mustache, and unlike me, who was nervous, Suzu was very composed. Amazing…

「… No. 1 is just ahead of you, and No. 0, Ayane-sama, please stand tall」
「I-I understand… !」
「Fufu. Aya. I don’t think you need to be so nervous, okay?」
「B-But… !」

It’s inevitable! I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now that I’ve been brought into this place that looks like a great organization!

When the massive, black door opened, I was greeted by…

A short, shiny blonde hair…

She has a sleepy face with drooping eyes…

「… Why are you here…」

「… Luna-san」
「……. I thought this would be the case…」
「It’s been a while! Ayane-ta… Ayane-chan! I haven’t seen you since Royal Capital!」
「Y- Yes, but… No, that’s not what this is about! Why are you here? You have a great title like “No. 1” …」
「Eh? Because it’s for Ayane-tan…」
「For me… ?」

「Yes! I heard that Ayane-tan was coming here to the Great Labyrinth of Formana, so I came here in a flash! If anything happens to Ayane-tan, it’ll be a disaster! I didn’t stop you in the Royal Capital because you were so determined, but I want to stop you before something like that happens again…」

I couldn’t hear the second half, but I could tell that this person was overprotective of me. No, I didn’t want to understand, you know?

「U-Um, well… By the way, Luna-san, what are you the No. 1 of… ?」
「Hmm? I’m from the Ayane-tan Love Club?」
「Huh? Wasn’t that a club for loving a beautiful blacksmith girl?」
「Suzu? What the…」
「It used to be, but now that you know the name, I think it should be changed…」
「… Huh? But I feel like I’ve heard that before…」

A club for loving a beautiful blacksmith girl… I seem to have heard that somewhere… Huh? Was it just my imagination? That’s okay. I don’t remember it, that’s what it means.

「So… Why is there a house built here… ?」
「Oh, that’s for Ayane-tan’s sake, too. It was decided that one can’t enter the dungeon without going through the procedures here, then naturally Ayane-tan will also have to go through the procedures… And that we’ll get you an escort so you don’t get stuck… !!」

「Is it okay to say that?」
「It didn’t work」
「Oi oi, the President is slipping up…」
「「Haa!?」」

We were startled to see that the previously expressionless handsome uncle suddenly became friendly with us. That’s what you’d expect… If everyone’s image of the butler suddenly became like this…

「Hey, Alkidasze-san! You’re the vice president, so do your part!」
「「Haa!?!?!?」」

Alkidasze-san… He’s the one who fought Myuu-san in the previous event, right… ? Eh, he wasn’t like this… ? He was more like the complete opposite…

「And that’s why I’m your escort」

No… Even if you say it like that, hey… ?
