I, who was reincarnated as the villain character in a game, was secretly enjoying my role as the villain while pulling off heroic moves behind the scenes. However, my actions were exposed to my fiancée, who absolutely despises me - Episode 74

Episode 74

“Oh, right. With this, we can move to the dungeon entrance. Follow me,” I said, leading the way inside.

After a while, Inaesia and the other soldiers followed suit.

Finally, the adventurers who had been exchanging glances with each other followed us with determined looks.

I quickly created an exit and moved to the front of the dungeon.

We managed to move without any problems.

As the new adventurers appeared last, I closed the space magic.

Inaesia and the other soldiers in the mansion were not surprised by my use of space magic, as they were already experienced with it to move to the Forest of Rebellion, but the new adventurers had wide-eyed expressions.

“W-wow…”

“I-It’s really like teleportation stones…”

“It’s even more convenient than teleportation stones, isn’t it?”

Watching the adventurers’ reactions, I turned my gaze towards the dungeon.

The dungeon. It was a place I had become quite familiar with in the game, but facing it now, it exuded a sense of intimidation.

The entrance to the dungeon resembled the spatial magic I created. However, it had turned into a red vortex-like entrance.

Rather than saying the dungeon entrance resembled my spatial magic, it might be that I unconsciously used this entrance as a reference when using magic.

The interior of the dungeon is said to be connected to another world and can be so vast that it’s impossible to tell from the outside.

“Do we already have the information about the dungeon that the Fourth Squad is scheduled to conquer this time?”

“Of course. It’s been shared.”

Inaesia said proudly. Her beauty seemed to have increased even more since coming to Validor and she was very popular.

Indeed, her figure was better compared to when we were in the game. It’s probably due to her nutritional status. While I didn’t dislike Inaesia’s reaction to her small chest, which she had complexes about, she still has a nice body, enough for Reem to secretly envy.

As expected, the male adventurers among the newcomers were admiring Inaesia’s ample bosom.

“Alright then. Understood. It’ll be the first conquest for them, so I’ll follow along later to see how things go.”

“Got it. Well then, everyone, let’s begin the conquest.”

Inaesia said so, taking the lead. It seemed that the preliminary arrangements had already been made, as Inaesia and five others stood at the front, while the remaining four escorted the new adventurers.

Passing through the vortex to enter the dungeon, a somewhat strange sensation enveloped my face.

…So this is what it feels like to enter a dungeon.

I understand the feeling the protagonist had, saying, “It feels kinda weird!”

The dungeon we’re challenging this time is a low-difficulty dungeon with five floors at the lowest level. In this game, the deeper you go into the dungeon, the stronger the monsters become, but at around the fifth floor, only monsters that even novice adventurers can handle will likely appear.

As expected, while accompanying and observing, Inaesia and the others seemed relaxed.

…Inaesia has become quite strong.

She effortlessly annihilates enemies with her impressive spear skills, and she handles her weapon skills as if they were her own.

Unlike in the game where you can use them as soon as you equip them, it must have taken quite a bit of practice.

Her goal seems to be to defeat Reem. Lately, she’s been spending more time training, and now, I’m not sure who would win if they fought.

Without any trouble, we descend to the bottom floor of the labyrinth, and the boss battle begins.

…No issues at all.

In fact, Inaesia alone could probably conquer this dungeon.

When the dungeon is conquered, everyone inside is ejected outside.

After defeating the boss and a short while passing, we were expelled outside.

“Whoa!?”

As I glanced at the new adventurers who screamed, I turned my gaze to the entrance of the dungeon.

The red vortex quickly shrank and eventually disappeared after ejecting us.

With this, the dungeon conquest is complete. We didn’t obtain many magic stones this time, but now I understand the basic flow.

As I watched silently, Inaesia spoke up.

“Conquest is over, but will another dungeon be created somewhere after a while?”

“Ah, yeah, you’re right.”

“To conquer them and use the income for the territory… But, that doesn’t bring in much profit, does it?”

“Normally, if we continue dungeon conquests. For example, if we happen to find a dungeon where materials that are in demand but in short supply within the territory can be obtained, I don’t intend to conquer it.”

“…So, that’s the plan.”

It seemed like Inaesia understood what I wanted to do.

…Well, the truth is I just want to carefully select good skills.

“Well then, let’s head to the remaining four dungeons.”

“Huh? Like this!?”

Seeing the surprised voices of the new adventurers, I smiled.

“The reward is for accompanying the conquest of all the dungeons, right?”

“Uh, y-yes… but…”

“If you work hard, we’ll finish by morning, won’t we? And still get the same amount of reward. How about it?”

“…R-right, I’ll do my best.”

As for the reward, it’s an amount that these new adventurers can’t earn on their own. Depending on their lifestyle, it should be enough to live luxuriously for a week, so I need to make them work as much as possible.
