Chapter 31

I descended to the third floor.

The deeper I went, the more fragile the monsters appeared to be.

Soft singing drifted from inside. I didn’t want to barge in, so I worked the lock with a wire and cracked the door just

enough to peek inside.

A young boy was dancing gracefully in the center of the tower.

Around him sat a group of teenagers, their bodies mapped with scars.

Boys and girls, all smiling, humming a gentle tune and keeping time with soft claps.

A beam of sunlight broke through the gloom, spotlighting the boy.

He moved with the elegance of a bird taking flight, a single rose blooming in the dark.

Suddenly, he saw me.

He froze.

The atmosphere shattered. The other teenagers scattered, scrambling to their feet like startled birds.

There were so many of them. They were supposed to be the monsters, yet they looked at me with sheer terror.

It wasn’t my weapons they feared.

It was simply me-a stranger.

The dancing boy was terrified too, but he stepped in front of the group to shield them.

He forced a polite, anxious smile.

“I’m sorry. We… we were all bullied in school. Everyone here has been hurt badly.”

They’re terrified of strangers. Please don’t be angry, Miss.”

This was the first time a monster in a dungeon had been so polite to me.

And in a legendary Rank-S dungeon, no less.

He actually called me “Miss.”

I looked at the scars on his arms.

“Don’t worry.” I said softly. “I’m not angry. Do you have any wishes?”

After I reassured them again and again, the teenagers finally lowered their guard.

They told me their wishes.

I fulfilled them one by one.

Their requests were heartbreakingly humble-they were terrified of being a burden, asking for only the simplest things.

For me, anything solvable with credits was no trouble at all.

When it was the dancing boy’s turn, he pressed his lips together.

“I’d like a new dance outfit,” he said quietly. “And I want to perform a full dance for you. To thank you for helping us.”
