Basement Dungeon Chapter 90: Siblings Meet Her Again

　As we were walking to get out of the Forest, we heard the sound of battle from afar. I looked over to see the explorers standing around against the two unique monsters we had just seen.

“Is it okay to leave them alone?” (Haru)

　Haru muttered, and at the same time, a bear fell to its knees and was decapitated by a sword.

“Well, I don’t think they are having a hard time. They’re tired, but they’re not going to get seriously injured.” (Kei)

“I doubt it.” (Haru)

　The sound of an explosion and the scream of the final one, the dragon, can be heard.

　I’m sure the dragon has suffered some injuries as well.

“So, we’re going to go to the first level and check?” (Haru)

“That’s right. Let’s go.” (Kei)

　We bent down, hid in the bushes, and tried to sneak out so that they wouldn’t see us as they fought. That’s when it happened.

“Kya!” (Explorer)

　At the same time, we hear a cute voice coming from the side where the explorers are fighting, and at the same time, a person falls into our view.

“That’s dangerous”

　I hurriedly reached out my hand to support the body. It’s probably because of her status. She stops without hitting the ground. But this is unexpected.

“”Oh”” (Kei & Haru)

　Haru and my voice overlap.

　Whenever a human falls, they try to grab something nearby. This time it was just my head. It was probably just a coincidence. But this time, I had to curse the coincidence.

　Her hand firmly grabbed the hood of my head and yanked it off. Our eyes met.

“Hello. Itsuki-san.” (Kei)

　I said with a chuckle.

“Go. Finish it Pyon-chan!”

　The man’s voice was followed by the scream of a dragon. And then I heard the sound of it falling. It seems that they were able to defeat the dragon as well.

　Itsuki-san looks at me and Haru several times and reveals a terrified expression.

“You guys are the ones I met at my parents’ house. But those clothes are the people from earlier, right? And what about the monster from earlier?” (Karen)

　Itsuki-san seems to remember my face well and becomes confused.

“Where did Itsuki-san go? Is she safe?” (Explorer)

　Another explorer who was fighting may have noticed that Itsuki-san was missing. She was looking around and calling out for Itsuki-san.

“Oh, I’m sorry. The person from earlier, Kya!” (Karen)

　Haru pulled Itsuki-san’s shoulder, who was panicking and trying to find answers from us, Haru placed her hand on her mouth.

　Then she brought her index finger in front of her mouth, a gesture to keep quiet

　In order to not draw attention and there’s the fact that I can’t grab the woman, I throw something from my item pouch into the distance.

“What is that?” (Explorer)

　The explorers all took up their weapons and looked in the direction of the sound. But there are exceptions to this rule.

“Haru, get down.” (Kei)

　When I noticed it, I forcibly pulled Haru’s hand. Itsuki-san leaves Haru’s hand and Haru crouches. The next moment, a silver animal passed through the place where Haru’s head was just before.

“Whoa. Is that an Experience Bonus Rabbit?” (Kei)

“Why is it here? It’s quite strong.” (Haru)

　The rabbit stands in front of us as if to protect Itsuki-san.

　I stopped myself from pulling out my sword, knowing that I had found some good experience.

“Brother, I’m sorry, but there seems to be something wrong. And if we fight, they’ll know we’re here, so let’s run.” (Haru)

　The explorers, who had been distracted by the noise earlier, began to notice that there were no monsters.

“That’s right. I’m sorry. I hope you don’t mind if we’re not mentioned. We’re on your side.” (Kei)

　I said and started to run to get out of the forest.

“Don’t let anyone get killed. Bye-bye. Oops, that was close.” (Haru)

　Haru waved her hand briefly and began to run as well. It seems that she saw an opening there. Experience Bonus Rabbit aims a kick at Haru’s face, but she evades it easily by tilting her face with a smile.

　The rabbit, whose attack did not hit, ran straight into the explorers.

“Woah!” (Explorer)

“What’s wrong?” (Explorer)

“Oh, what is it Pyon-chan?” (Explorer)

　I hear a surprised voice from behind. Fortunately, the Experience Bonus Rabbit seems to have caught their eye and we weren’t exposed.

“Itsuki-san, did you fall again?” (Explorer)

“No, I just stumbled. Haha.” (Karen)

　The voice of Itsuki-san covering for us never reached us.

“So, Haru. What should we do?” (Kei)

“Well, for now, I think we should take the shortest route to the surface.” (Haru)

　We’re going up a long flight of stairs from the Forest to the 15th floor. However, we are not walking as seriously as we did at first, we are jumping high and kicking the walls as we acrobatically go up.

　It’s a fast-paced feat made possible by our enhanced status. Thanks to this, I am able to go up the stairs several times faster than I normally would.

“Haru, do you remember the way?” (Kei)

　I suddenly wondered. I had only passed this way once before.

“Perfectly. On the contrary, I don’t remember anything other than the shortest route.” (Haru)

“Then I’ll ask you to guide me as usual.” (Kei)

　As soon as I made the last jump and reached the 15th floor, we passed through the boss room and ran to the 14th floor.

　In order to one-sidedly defeat the monsters heading for the ground.

　Without thinking that there are more enemies than those before.

　Part of the cave. It was an unfamiliar place where the ground was dyed bright red.

　The screams of the monsters echoed through the cave, and then, their voices were cut off with the sound of something being torn apart.

　Dripping. Gnashing. The sounds of liquid dripping and chewing echoed through the air.

　But no one hears that sound. They had already disappeared.
