I was nervous, but what else. I have to do this, because there's no way I'm going to stay downstairs. Moreover, my revenge target was also waiting for me, outside of this Dungeon.
Wellh actually, I want to eat a monster that can increase the value of my Attack even more, just like the Minotaur first. But what power, I can't expect too much.
"Yah!!" I convinced myself to take a step, before arriving...
?!!
I felt a strong presence appearing suddenly arrive in the middle of that dark cave Dungeon.
GROAGGH!!!
A loud cry of a monster that sounded like a rampage rang out, echoing within the floor.
I was a bit surprised because all this time, I who had not felt the existence of monsters in the slightest. But my feelings and the echoing voice of the monster have already been announced.
"There's a new monster born into the Dungeon, isn't it?" askaku.
I'm rattled. Between checking out the monster, or continuing to tread upwards to explore new areas. Because, from the sound of movement earlier, I heard a voice similar to the Minotaur at that time.
Clutching tightly onto the sword that was behind my body, I got a little goosebumps.
Minotaur, it's the toughest enemy I've ever fought. In fact, one hand of mine became a victim of the Minotaur's ferocity. Though, the Minotaur was not in its perfect condition.
Right now, my status has already risen due to eating monster meat, but I'm not sure I can defeat it when it's in perfect condition.
But, I need the meat to improve my Attack, as well as the skin, to make a water bag. Until now, his magic stones were also the best, although the boss bird magic stones were just as good.
I'm dilemma.
Yah... My motto now is to take everything that can be taken, so...
"Let's hunt, that cow!!" I laughed happily, walking back to the stairs I was supposed to climb.

The Royal Palace Room....
"Shiya! How are you doing?"
"Really! Are you able to move normally?"
"Didn't you need another break?" various questions were launched on Shia who had come out the next day from Chiyo's care. He came out after feeling a little better, all at once after planning a lot with the other two people.
"I'm fine. Besides, where's Leon? I want to meet him." Shia replied quickly. Her face could not hide the anger present, so the women who were around her were a bit scared.
Shia who heard that was a little stunned, but understood. He breathed, then continued.
"I wouldn't do that. But I just want to say, I won't be in line with him. I'm not going to support the principle, or whatever it is." Shia said it with a bit of fury.
Everyone was silent on hearing that, but no one denied it.
The atmosphere felt strange, heavy, and uneasy now. How else, the two most influential people in this class, as well as the two most powerful people had different opinions. It's obviously something that's not desirable.
Plok plok plok!!
The sound of clapping was heard, making everyone turn to the origin of the voice.
The figure of Goddess Atla who stepped gracefully entered a pulpit-like place in the middle of the hall. He was barely seen stepping, instead appearing more hovering, with an aura of majesty appearing around him.
"I'm sorry to bother you while you're resting. But, I will not call you aimlessly." said the Goddess gracefully and very authoritatively. Her every move was like magic, which made anyone who saw her a natural beauty.
"Just get to the point." Shia there raised her hand, interrupting slightly. It made everyone in the room look at him. Even the knights who were usually silent, now directed questionable gazes.
"I want to make sure, if I do the work of this 'Hero', the safety of my friend's friend will be guaranteed?" shia asked sharply.
"Many of my friends have Rank C. And you say that those who are weak, will only be a burden. Would if I did the hero duty, and bore all the duties given to my friend's friend, would they all be relieved of your grievances?"
"As we know, what happens at the end of this is really real. Those you consider weak, are discarded. Honestly, if we didn't do something, I thought it might happen to us."
Everyone in the room was silent, no one dared to interrupt. However, Goddess Atla noticed that enthusiastically.
"I don't want anyone to be dumped again. They are my friends, I can't just let them go." Shia said firmly, settling her argument.
A wide variety of reactions are demonstrated by various people. Some put on a sullen face, against it, some also put on a hopeful face.
"Fuck? Who do I think raised a hand? Isn't this Shia Sakanada, the naive Hero?" ask Dewi Atla with a slightly voluptuous voice.
"Huum? Whatchu mean?" Shia was a little upset, but still kept her tone.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not sure you can do that. You are a naive person, who cannot make small sacrifices for greater needs. I'm afraid I'd give up a friend's life to you. It could be that at an important moment you are putting your life before the lives of all of them." replied the Goddess.
He covered his face, engaging in regret while shaking his head slowly.
"W-what's that?! I will not leave my friend!! No matter what happens, even if my life breaks out" Shia tried to refute, but her rebuttal suddenly stopped when a loud noise interrupted her.
BRAKK!!!
