A NEET’s Guide to the Parallel World: Healer, the Strongest Cheat?

Chapter 80.9: Black tower, part 3 final

We parted with Francesca and were walking around trying to find a place to stay.

He had amazing magical power didnt he.

I couldnt tell but according to Toa, Raj was quite strong. Meanwhile Nem had shrunken in on herself and Sufilia appeared normal.

It seems he was skilled but its unfortunate that he escaped. It could be problematic if he attacked again.

It was then that I noticed that Toa had stopped in front of a large white tent labeled clinic.

Whats wrong Toa?

I was curious, walked back to Toa and looked inside the tent.

This.

There were a number of beds that held patients with bandages all over their bodies. Toa covered her mouth with her hand in shock.

Are you planning to challenge the dungeon as well?

A large man came out of the tent.

Yes.

In that case, take a good look.

What happened to these people?

You can tell just by looking cant you? All of them are idiots who chased after a dream.

The tent was filled with moans, the end of those who challenged the dungeon.

These people are the lucky ones, nearly a thousand people have challenged the dungeon already, and these are the ones who returned.

What? Only these ones?

Right, in the beginning everyone thinks that theyll be the ones to do it. Its only afterwards that they all realize their stupidity. They should have thought more about why there hasnt been any attackers in a hundred years. You guys should think twice about it as well, but I wont say anymore after this. Its your responsibility.

The man who came to stop us was a challenger himself, it was obvious by the bloody bandage on his shoulder accompanied by the missing arm.

Toa.

She was trembling, after seeing this it might not be possible for her to enter the dungeon.

Ill go.

Toa, you dont have to force yourself, I can go alone.

No, its ok. Thats the reason I came with you.

That makes it seem like Im forcing you.

Lord Nito, youre mistaken.

Sufilia..

I want to be by your side. I havent changed my mind.

Nem too! Nems going to go with master.

Nem OK then I wont ask anymore, lets go to the dungeon!

*

The next day when we returned to the dungeon Francesca was back.

Nito, are you going to challenge it now?

Yes.

How are you feeling right now?

Excited.

Francesca looked at our facial expressions and didnt ask anything else.

In that case, Ill be waiting for you to clear it.

The four of us moved to the entrance and looked at each others faces.

Alright, lets go..huh?

A man came out of the dungeon carrying a woman, they both looked like knights. Although the woman was bleeding. When I tried to pass by them the man called out.

Wait!

Hm?

Are you going into the dungeon?

Thats right.

You should stop, its not that kind of challenge.

The man looked at all four of us confirming our faces.

For three women and a single man itll just be a graveyard.

Thats true for those who lose but, it has nothing to do with me..

Nem gave him her best menacing look.

And if youre taunting master, Ill rip your head off!

Sufilia spoke up next.

Why dont you worry about yourself. Lord Nito is an S rank adventurer.

Youre Nito!?

Lets go. Toa said modify.

Yeah, its almost noon.

Please wait!

Sorry, we can talk after. Why dont you go get that person treated first?

My name is Leonardo! A knight of Dams Ardan. Well be seeing eachother again Nito.

Will we?

The moment he knew my name he gave me his, he seems like a good guy.

We entered the dungeon.

Whats going on?

The moment we stepped in the scenery changed completely.

Huh? This place.

Toa sounds confused.

Interesting, Ive never seen a place like this.

Sufilia was analyzing things calmly.

This is a dungeon?

Nem was tilting her head back.

This..

The setting sun, the gate, gym, the building, everything is familiar.

School.

The place where I lead a meaningless existence, high-school.
