Episode 89

Boom, boom.

Leona swung her sword at my dracolich and spiders for a long time, to the point where most of the previously intact floor was destroyed.

‘I guess I have to give him some credit for his persistence.’

Even now, she was fighting the Dracolich without letting go of the sword in her hand.

Of course, that didn’t mean she would win.

Kaang!

As the dracolich’s claws pushed away her sword, she quickly retrieved it and swung it backwards.

“Huh…… gasp…… really…… isn’t this fatal……?”

Then, perhaps sensing my gaze, she started panting and complained to me, but I just shrugged my shoulders and responded.

“You were telling me not to talk nonsense just a moment ago, but what if you start talking nonsense first?”

“I didn’t know…… there was a monster like this!”

bang.

Leona barely manages to keep her body up with her greatsword buried in the ground.

I guess I’ve been gritting my teeth and holding on until now, but in my opinion, I’ve reached my limit.

If I moved my body any further, I would lose all strength and drop the sword.

And she herself would know that very well.

“Okay… I got it! Surrender! Just surrender!”

Slap.

I nodded my head at the words that came out of her mouth as she fell backwards.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

It was the moment when Leona, the Death Knight talent candidate I had been looking for, came under my command.

Of course, he kept whining as if he didn’t like it.

“You, be honest! You’ve already passed the 30th floor! Otherwise, how can you push me like this?”

Boom bang.

I just laughed at her as she lay on the floor, banging her arms and legs as if she was angry.

“Even if you don’t like it, you’ll start believing it anyway. Now you’re going to have to challenge yourself on the 20th floor.”

“……If that’s a lie, give me 100 million points.”

Seriously, do I have any regrets about that 100 million points?

“Okay, okay. Okay.”

“You promised…? Are you really giving me 100 million points!”

As she said that, Leona’s voice seemed to have less joy or cheer than before.

Have you already realized in your head that what I said is true?

Or maybe he just doesn’t have enough strength and his voice is weak.

“It’s over now? You’re not going to fight anymore, are you?”

Then, as if to confirm that our fight was over, the sergeant intervened.

He had a slightly tired expression on his face, so I wondered why, but soon I could figure out the reason without much difficulty.

“……I won’t pay for the repairs.”

Despite the fact that the building was quite large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, almost half of it was burned to the ground.

At this point, it’s a good thing it hasn’t cracked or collapsed.

“I wish you would do that…….”

“……Anyway, you’re amazing. Even though your compatibility is not good, you were able to defeat a knight on the 29th floor so easily…….”

Meanwhile, Kane, who was watching our sparring, muttered in admiration.

Well, all I did was occasionally order the dracolich and the spider to move.

“It wasn’t easy.”

“……Even if you say that without breaking a sweat, it won’t make you happy at all?”

Leona, who was grumbling at me like that, got up and took off the armor she was wearing and put it in her inventory.

“Honestly, I’m a bit curious. Why do you seek out a knight like me when there are so many undead out there?”

Leona came towards me, her eyes scanning the dracolich and the spider.

“Wouldn’t it be more convenient for a necromancer like you to have obedient undead than for a regular player like me? Well, I’d be happy if you hired them by paying a lot of points.”

She didn’t really press for an answer, as if her words were purely out of curiosity.

Of course, from my perspective, it could be said that it was fortunate that I didn’t force an answer, since I hired her to revive her when she died and make her a Death Knight… But…

‘… …Why.’

Something like that occurred to me.

This woman, if you give her enough points, she might immediately become a Death Knight.

Of course, that was just my opinion as a necromancer, and there was no way I could personally cut off her balls with my own hands and turn her into a death knight while she was still alive.

Even if I do that, I can make her undead, but I won’t be able to gain her loyalty.

“So now you’re going up to the 20th floor?”

“Okay. First of all, my goal is to get to the 25th floor as quickly as possible.”

Treasure of the Bone Fortress on the 25th floor.

I had to climb the floors as quickly as possible, if only to get to the starting point of the second realm.

“Hmm… Then I guess I can’t swear allegiance here and now.”

“pledge?”

Was it necessary for a knight to swear allegiance?

It was a curiosity that arose from that question, but she seemed to interpret it a little differently.

“No, no, it’s not because I don’t trust you. There’s a reason for everything.”

“For what reason?”

“If you’re curious, 100 million points~.”

chuck.

Now, I spoke to her with cold eyes, as if she was trying to blatantly pick on me.

“If it’s not for any particular reason, it would be better to just make the pledge here.”

“Huh? No, no, this is also related to conquering the 20th floor! The details are a secret, but you should trust me.”

“……that is?”

All I know about the 20th floor is that the longer you stay on the tower, the longer it takes.

I remember saying that it was said with the nuance that it inevitably takes that much time, rather than that it decreases depending on skill or luck…

“Okay, then let’s put it on hold for now.”

“I thought about it carefully~ The loyalty oath takes a long time to be taken anyway, and there’s no other way.”

Another way… another way.

Now that I think about it, what Kelvin did to me on the 17th floor could also be seen as a kind of oath of loyalty.

If that’s the case, then maybe it’s possible to do that to Leona.

“Leona, when you passed the 17th floor, was it also the Mad Queen’s floor?”

“Huh? If you’re the Mad Queen… then you’re the vigilantes and the Queen, right?”

She recalls it as if it was a long time ago, even going back through her memories.

When I mentioned to her that I had been ordained, she muttered with a look of surprise.

“A ceremonial order for a shaman…? That’s unusual. Can I take a look?”

She then looks at the hand with the ring on it.

I gave her permission without thinking much, and she immediately tried to place her hand on mine, which had a ring on it.

But then.

Phagec!

“Whoa!?”

“hmm?!”

I thought there was some kind of rejection reaction from the ring, and she soon sat down.

“Are you okay?”

“Huh? Uh uh…… I’m fine. By the way, this is……”

She sat there blankly for a while, thinking about something, and then let out a sigh as if she was dumbfounded.

“I don’t know what you did, but the queen seems to really love you. The queen’s faith in you is really strong.”

“……The Queen me?”

Well, considering what I did to the Queen, it wouldn’t be strange if I said I had faith.

“In the relationship between a knight and his lord, the knight’s trust is important, but the lord’s trust in the knight is equally important. Just as a knight can give up his life for his lord, if the lord does not show enough trust in the knight to give up his life, then the relationship cannot be established.”

Then she looked at me and muttered.

“I may be a bit greedy, but regardless, the loyalty I show to you is sincere. So if you don’t show me that much trust, even if you make a contract of obedience instead of a loyalty oath, your power probably won’t increase even a little bit.”

“……Is there such a thing as a contract of obedience?”

It was amazing that there was a guy who would willingly sign a contract to become a slave, but it was equally amazing that he could increase his power through such a pledge.

Of course, even so, it didn’t seem like something that could be abused carelessly.

“Let’s go to the 20th floor and think about it first.”

There was absolutely no reason to stay here, since there was nothing more to do in the safe zone anyway.

Rather, it only increases the possibility that the Bone Fortress guys will draw more attention.

That’s when I manipulated the system window.

“Right now?! Aren’t you preparing anything?”

Leona grabs my arm with a shocked expression.

Her muscular arms were strong enough to stop my fingers for a moment.

“I’ve done everything I can do here.”

“I said it wasn’t me, I said it wasn’t me!”

When I closed the system window at those words, she finally felt relieved and let out a sigh as she muttered.

“Hey, isn’t it basic to prepare before going upstairs? Are you saying that you’re the only one who’s prepared?”

“……Then go ahead and do it.”

“Let’s say so,” she muttered, grumbling.

“Then meet me here in a week.”

“……A week?”

Tub.

At the words that came out of her mouth, I grabbed her by the collar as she was about to leave.

What on earth are you doing that takes a week to prepare?

“Huh, Huh!?! What are you doing!”

“No, I just wanted to ask you something.”

The effect was obvious and she stopped, but I also had to hear her angry voice as a bonus.

“Then why don’t you just stop them with your words? Why are you pulling on my perfectly fine clothes and making a fuss?”

It didn’t seem like a big problem.

Anyway, she did tell the story.

“Haa…… First, I have to repair the sword, inspect the armor, and…… there are a lot of other things to do.”

“Still, a week is too long.”

No matter how tightly I hide myself, it will be difficult to hide even the smallest clue, as those bone fortress guys are pursuing me so filthy and persistently.

So it would be better to shorten the time as much as possible.

“Can’t you reduce it further?”

“No, it has to be exactly a week.”

But she comes out with a firm attitude.

If you just listen to what I said a little while ago, it doesn’t seem like it’ll take that long.

“What is taking up so much time?”

“……What the heck, what’s so urgent? Like I’m being chased by something…… Ah.”

She was momentarily flustered, as if she had been taken aback by what she had said.

She coughed loudly and then started talking nonsense, as if she was also embarrassed.

“Come to think of it, I heard that the Bone Fortress has been intensifying its search recently… I didn’t know it was because of you.”

Of course, she was still steadfast.

“But that won’t work. A week is the minimum amount of time I’ve set aside.”

“I can help with things like sword repairs and armor inspection.”

I told her that I had to shorten the time as much as possible, but she still refused.

But I wonder if you know my reason for wanting to shorten the time somehow.

Leona made this suggestion.

“Then, can you promise me just this one thing?”

“What are you talking about?”

She seemed a little worried.

But that worry didn’t last long.

“Promise me that you will help me with my work once you have cleared up to the 25th floor. Then I can finish everything in two days.”

I was satisfied with the fact that it was reduced by 5 days, but if there was one thing that bothered me, it was the help I had to give.

“If you just tell me what I can do to help you.”

I didn’t think she would tell me easily, but she surprisingly told me easily.

“The quest has already ended on this floor… There’s something I need to find by going to the previous 49th floor. I’d like you to go find it together.”

“49th floor?”

But the content was incredibly shocking.

The 49th floor? Are you trying to commit suicide by going to a place so high that even you can’t reach it?

… … No, if I were to commit suicide, it would be better if I could be turned into a Death Knight.

“Didn’t you say that the last floor you went to was the 29th?”

“That’s why I said it was the 49th floor. Floors where quests have already been completed are floors where most of the dangers have been eliminated, so I can go there without worry. I’ve already completed the preliminary investigation.”

“It doesn’t make sense to reduce it by 5 days.”

As I muttered with a frown on my face, she suggested urgently, as if she thought I wouldn’t go.

“Three days! Just stay there for three days! After that, you’re free to stay or leave. Please!”

“Is there a reason why it has to be me?”

“Yeah, it has to be you!”

I was curious about the stronger request than I thought, so I accepted it.

I don’t even know why she chose me.
