I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~

Chapter 113

Chapter 113. Return Home

“Senpai, senpai, senpai~! I missed you so much~! It was lonely being by myself!”

As I returned to the dwarf village, Yuzuki ran towards me like a faithful dog and dove at me.

I quickly caught her in my arms.

Yuzuki tightly hugged me.

Feeling the softness of my junior’s skin through our clothes, I couldn’t help but feel flustered.

“Oh, hey. Sorry for leaving you alone in the village.”

“Yeah, it’s true. If you feel bad, you should praise me a lot and pat me!”

“I-I see. You did well by yourself. You’re amazing.”

“Hehe?”

As I patted her head, Yuzuki smiled happily.

But was Yuzuki always this kind of character?

Lately, she seems to be overly affectionate towards me.

Is her comedic style okay with that?

Regarding this mission, we entrusted the defense of the village to Yumizuki.

Since there was a task to defeat 10 skeleton monsters, we wanted to assign either me, Kazane-san, or Yuzuki to the village defense duty among the three of us.

The person responsible for defending the village would have to face numerous skeletons.

Although Badon-san and Dodorga-san slightly raised their eyebrows when they saw our willingness to defend the village, they didn’t inquire further and let us take on the task.

As a result, it seemed that Yuzuki fulfilled her role without any problems.

From what I heard, she defeated about 20 skeletons with fire magic.

By the way, what was Kazane-san’s reaction when she saw Yuzuki and me like that?

“Ah, did Hotaru-chan take an early start? Then, let’s do this with Daichi-kun altogether. Hug?”

“Kyain?”

She hugged Yuzuki and me, who was carrying her, all at once.

As usual, I felt dizzy, surrounded by the sweet scent of Kazane-san and Yuzuki.

“Hey, hey, Kazane-san! We’re in public…! The dwarves are watching!”

“Huh? Are you saying that after carrying and patting Hotaru-chan in public?”

“Well… that’s because… she suddenly jumped at me. It’s your fault, Yuzuki.”

“Senpai~ blaming others is not good, you know.”

“Grumble…!”

Observing our actions, the dwarves of the village commented.

“Human physical contact is intense.”

“Their sense of shame might be different from ours.”

They seemed interested.

I’m sorry, that’s probably not a characteristic of humans.

The dwarf in the village judged the two cultists.

According to Badon-san, it would undoubtedly be a severe punishment.

We didn’t plan to interfere with their judgment since we only lent a hand, and left it to them.

Furthermore, we received many thanks from the dwarfs from the village.

It was the same when we exterminated the goblins, but I felt very weird being thanked this much.

Kazane-san and Yuzuki were also embarrassed.

I was probably in a similar state as the two of them.

Also, the three dwarf warriors, Badon-san, Dodorga-san, and Berga-san, expressed their gratitude to us by jointly writing a letter of introduction to the “Dwarf’s Great Village, Dagmahal.”

Dagmahal Great Village is a much larger dwarf settlement than this place.

Although it’s quite a distance from here, they suggested that if we wanted powerful weapons and armor, we should visit there.

The letter of introduction stated that the three of us were recorded as friends of the dwarves.

Additionally, upon receiving the letter of introduction, I opened the message board, and it informed us of a new mission.

───────────────────────

New Mission: Reach the Dwarf Great Village Dagumaharu (Experience Points: 20,000)

───────────────────────

This was unexpected good news.

The acquired experience points are also quite substantial.

However, the long-distance is the difficult part.

It would take about a week on foot.

While it would require consultation with other missions, depending on the situation, there might be a possibility to aim for it.

Afterward, we bid farewell to the dwarves and left the village.

We received some rewards and happily made our way back to the town.
