Dungeon of Zero Chapter 194: Our time
The morning for today was quite different. Instead of waking up early like Retto and alfalfa normally do. The couple had overslept and woke up when the hands of the clock were closed at noon. There is nothing to do in particular in the town. Waking up early just became their daily habit. The reason why they overslept is something that little kids should not know until they have found their spouse.Falfa happily hummed busily in the kitchen making lunch. Meanwhile, the husband, Retto, was earnestly swinging his sword outside. Even though he's not planning on being a knight or a hero any longer. He still has this desire to stay in shape.Being in shape has lots of merits. Like being immune to various sicknesses and having the strength to do lots of things.“97… 98… 99… 100… 101…” Retto counted and then he noticed a bunch of people gathering near their house.I wonder what is happening. Retto thought. He walks closer to the gathering and takes a peek.His pupils got smaller seeing the tr
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 195: Keeping a low profile
The next morning, I was summoned to the restaurant not to eat, but to attend a meeting regarding a previous incident.There were several unfamiliar faces gathered. Although I saw their faces before, I didn't ask who they were. The more time passes, maybe I'll learn their names.Everyone stands except the mayor, who is too old to stand. On the table in front of him were various maps and reports from other towns and cities. Reading each of them, most of them say the same thing.A red-horned bear attacks towns because of a lack of food in the mountain territory. Red-horned bears were not the kind of monsters that would attack humans.Mostly, they are known to be afraid and shy of humans. It appears that their hunger turned them into feral creatures.The lack of food was caused by the wyvern arriving at red horned bear mountain. Simply put, the bears are chased away by the wyverns.Wyverns are local to the Fiore continent and they are monsters closest to dragons in terms of strength. Look
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 196: Barrier investigation
Night arrives and the appointed men are all in their position on guard. They walk around the town with a lantern and some sort of blade on the other. The town was always silent every night loud voices were easily heard if something happened.Sneaking out wasn’t very hard at all. I took the path from the backyard straight to the forest. The forest is in a deep pitch-black hue. Together with my black robe I easily camouflage.I dashed around the forest and find several sleeping monsters. There are dangerous monsters too, but as long as they’re not being dangerous. I don’t get the feeling of needing to cut them down.I leaped up to the giant tree branch and hop off the other. I continuously use this technique to further explore the forest. If I’m high above the ground. It would be difficult for the monsters awake at night to sense my presence.I made a pause and turned my head toward the group of a red-horned bears. The bears are currently facing a pack of wolves. Their sharp fangs gritt
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 197: City of hot spring
After fixing the problem the town is facing. I still go on my patrol duty the next night. The town folks got very anxious days later and continue the safety measures. But after the news spread that the wyverns were miraculously killed, the anxiousness disappeared.The wild red-horned bears go back to their natural habitat and go back to how they normally act.“Wow! The wyverns are killed.” “Maybe, there are some strong adventurers that happened to pass by.” “That might be it… Too bad, we’re unable to show our gratitude to those nameless heroes of ours.”Even it's been three months since the red-horned bear accident… The mysterious man who killed the wyverns is still the talked-of-town folks for a while. Hearing them kinda fluttered me. But still, I won’t say that it was me who killed that dragon.I’ll live in the shadows now. I don’t need recognition.The only recognition I wanted is from the pretty girl seating opposite me.Right now, Falfa and I decided to have dinner at the mayor's
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 198: Fairy Queen's move
While in the Fairy kingdom, we also know as much as the Yuno Kingdom. The woman whose golden hair was braided pretty took a long glance at the brilliant moon illuminating the night sky. The scenery was beautiful but it was not enough for her to forget her current circumstances. Her eyes were sad and tears came falling. Knock. Knock. Knock. A few knocks were heard on the door. Before she answered, she wiped the tears from her eyes and replied. “Come in.” The sound of the door opening was heard and there the fairy in a maid's outfit arrived with a tray containing the dinner in her hand. The tray isn’t really necessary, since most of the plates where the dishes are served are floating by the use of magic. The maid put the food on the table beside the Queen in an elegantly beautiful way. The queen looks at the food, saying it's too much. The food served in her bedroom was always a full-course meal, from appetizer to dessert. And the volume is too much for one person to consume. I
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 199: Holding on what's important to us
Falfa woke up after hearing the scream. She immediately looked at Retto worriedly.“He is not here… Dear Retto.”Falfa got more anxious seeing that Retto’s weapons were left in the room with her.Liana kingdom is a peaceful kingdom known to many. High-level monsters are rare to see and monsters attacking humans are near zero. With that knowledge, Retto might have let his guard down.Falfa does sense danger because she is a monster herself. It might be her monster instinct telling her something.But the presence she’s sensing is different from a monster.She gritted her teeth, took Retto’s sword, and ran to exit the room. Falfa could still smell her husband, so he was still alive.Then, while running in the hallway, they appeared.“Extraterrestrials…”Worm extraterrestrials launch themselves at Falfa, their mouths open, revealing multiple jagged teeth within. They don’t have eyes, so probably they only rely on their sense of smell to detect their targets.Falfa leaped back to dodge and
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 200: Meeting the fairy queen
Currently, I found myself sleepy while riding the ride toward the nearest train station to the town of Eden. I made a big yawn and rubs my eyes a little. Last night, I stay up on guard just in case someone summoned other extraterrestrials. Fortunately, there is no following incident that happened. Then, this morning I got invited to the knight's office of Acacia city to explain what I saw. There is nothing much to say. No one knows where exactly the extraterrestrial popped up. Still, the anxious feeling remains within me. The thought that I might be the reason the extraterrestrial attack happened was stuck in my mind. I can’t help it since I’m somewhat important to them. It's been years and I still have no complete understanding of what “vector” means. Is vector some kind of special player? Probably, I could find the truth if I ask Dia. But in our current circumstances. It was better to put some space. Dia and I were very uncomfortable seeing each other. Also, earlier this morning
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 201: Heroes must not run away
It took me some time to explain everything move by move and how everything was just an accident to Falfa. She seems to believe in me, but the girls behind her the general store girl and part-timer waitress have their brows meeting each other. Their glare is piercing me. “I’m sorry, I will be careful next time.” “You’re doing the laundry and dishes for a week,” Falfa said. We go back home and the blonde girl is waiting for us leaning on the wall beside the door. She looks apologetic and her head a little bowed down. “I’m sorry for…” “I know, Retto already explain everything to me and he also told me about you looking for me. We get some takeout from the restaurant. Let's go inside and discuss things. I bet it's going to be long.” Growl~ The girl’s face turned red as a tomato and averted her head in embarrassment. “Not my fault being hungry… I’ve been traveling for quite some time now. I’m not eating well and…” “We already heard you, just came with us and eat.” I said then op

Short story 12: Secret spy (Part 3)
“What is the status of the matter with the evil mage?” When I returned to the office, the boss was wearing another sour expression. “As expected… I brought down the evil mage with my own hands! Right about now, that woman ought to be dying of embarrassment in front of the whole city!” My plan is flawless. The evil girl in question is now dying with her stomach twisted after drinking my poisoned coffee. My acting is very good and I’m never suspicious. She’s now unable to go out because of her stomach being unwell. The poison I gave her will result in laxative diarrhea. She probably poops on her skirt earlier. Feeling so much shame that she would rather crawl in a hole and die. I’m truly a genius. I told my plan to the boss. And here’s what my boss had to say after silently lending his ear. “So I suppose you saw her dead in embarrassment with your own eyes?” “Of course not.” Seeing someone dying is something I don’t want to see. “...” At this point, my boss let out a huge si

Short story 12: Secret spy (Part 1)
A tough cookie like myself always begins his day with a nice cup of coffee. For us who dwelled in the shadows, making our living as spies, there was nothing better than taking up a cup of strong coffee to prevent our heads from feeling sleepy. Pumping ourselves full of coffee and drugs was the way of the world-weary. I mixed a drop of the medicine into my coffee and drank it down. This is my daily routine. I’d never been sure of what was in those drugs. I took them from a mail-order catalog. But they were super expensive, so I was convinced they were beneficial to my health. I took the cup and sipped it. “Bleh! So bitter…” This strong flavor was actually what banished sleepiness. Probably. That wasn’t written anywhere in the books, though. Coffee was bitter and gross and seriously tasted like mud, which triggered my gag reflex and made drowsiness my second priority. It didn’t taste anything like how they describe it in the spy novels. They wrote that black coffee was delicious or

Chapter 223: Voided Memories
Eden city, City hall. Dia clutched her temples trying to relieve some stress. “What is going on?” She whispered and stood up from her seat to get some tea. (I was gone for quite a while and problems pile up. Is that murderous Latina still doing her job? I take that back, she’s doing her job. She hated me more than anyone in this world. But she’s a big help, that’s for sure. I could not imagine myself doing this intense work without her.) Dia spawled back in her seat. She blow the hot steam first and sniff the relaxing aroma for a moment before she made her first little sip. She then shifted her sight to the paper laying on the desk. Most of them are report letters for spies Dia deployed to investigate other kingdoms' actions. The land that pull her interest the most was the neighboring country Ruki kingdom and The remote Islands of Youko. Youko wasn’t part of the world organization and they always push any offer from other countries as if saying that they could survive on their

Chapter 222: Our Fate and Bonds
Dashing at the dunes of the great desert back to Foire territory. I’m not planning on going to Fiore to ask for help from the knights. I’m merely going to use the route from Fiore to Yuno kingdom. Knights of order aid will be great, but I decided not to bother them. The last time I visited, I find out that they were having a long battle between the kingdom knights. The demon king might be gone, but the war continues. It will be inconsiderate of me if I ask them for a selfish favor. I have no exact plan on how I’m going to save Falfa. This might seem like jumping on a cliff, but I can’t help myself to jump. I have to save Falfa no matter what. This desperation is driving me to my limit. I’m still full of hatred for the recent events. Why Belle would do something like this? Belle is not the type of girl who will order such a cruel task. I believe in her. If ever I got a chance to get inside the Yuno Kingdom. I’ll make sure to have a conversation with her. Overthinking about it won’t br

Chapter 221: Seven powers
“Princess Alina… Your tea is ready.” Miko placed the cup of tea accompanied by several variations of sweets. As for the girl in question--Alina-- was busy glazing into the unknown. For what reason she’s looking high up in the clear blue sky? For sure Alina won’t be adoring the blue sky. She is not the type of person who likes beautiful things after all. The craziest part was that Alina was standing in the same spot in front of the giant window for one week. She’s not sleeping or eating anything. Her eyes were simply fixed on something. Miku deep in her heart was worried and would like to ask what is going on. But if she does, that might be the end of her. In other words, death. Miku simply support her in whatever Alina wanted. There’s still the tea she serves earlier and Alina’s favorite strawberry shortcake. Miku can’t do anything but have a deep breath and placed the untouched food back into her pushcart. “Good night milady.” Miku greeted her and bowed her head before leaving Al

Chapter 220: Witch Contract
“I’m dead!” I sat up as I woke up. Immediately I have my hand on my chest and check my wound. There are no wounds in my chest. My body is perfectly fine. I was skeptical myself and look around. The place where I found myself wasn’t someplace I know. There's no floor but I’m sitting. No walls or anything. The closest description I could ever think of was that this place looks like the starry night sky I usually gaze into. From some angles, this place looks majestic. I didn’t notice immediately, but there was a girl sitting on a throne in front of me. The face same as Elaina's. This girl was the Cosmo witch. “You really mess up there.” She said. “You here to help me again. Thank you so much…” “Help you?” The witch gives me a cold gaze. My limbs were torn apart and my head was skewered by a golden sword. “... Don’t get ahead of yourself. I’m not helping you or anything. Well, in some aspect we can say that I was helping you. I mean, you are dead right now and I’m the only one wh

Chapter 219: Two Orders
A 50-meter-tall dragon appeared out of nowhere. Monsters aren’t supposed to get through the barrier of Liana. The barrier of Liana is been protecting the whole continent for hundreds of years. While I was dashing in full throttle something from the past resurfaced in my mind. In the past, the time Falfa and I were still new on this continent. There was a case about the havoc of the horned bear. The main culprit for that was the wyvern that took their shelter away from the bears. I took care of them and finds out that a part of the barrier melted. The hole wasn’t clear to the naked eye and only I who had a gleaming yes could see it. Wyvern noticing the hole is simply dumb luck. However, there must be someone who can see the barrier just like me and… Is this event caused by my ignorance? I want to live life os selfishly thinking of my happiness with Falfa. I don’t want to live like a hero who will selflessly dive into danger ever again. I don’t want that feeling anymore. But why am

“Hngf!”The breath burst from his throat when her back struck the ground. Retto yanked aside the cloth that clung to his face and struggled in the darkness for a few moments before recognizing that she was in his bedroom.He fell out of bed in his sleep.Retto collected his blankets and climb back into the bed.It was late June now, and although the sunlight was getting warmer, the predawn morning was still freezing. It was mostly because the town they live in was located on a plateau. The lush green forest nearby also gives off a heavy breeze making every morning cold.Retto doesn’t particularly sleep too much. But this time he goes back to bed to get some sleep. But after moments of staying in bed eyes closed. His unable to sleep and give up.
