Chapter 78: Dungeon (4-4)

Chapter 78 of “As A Result Of Breaking An Otome Game, The Villainess Young Lady Becomes A Cheat! (Part 1)”

Dungeon 4 part 4

Well…in a rather half-hearted way, we ended up heading to the 10th dungeon level…

This was the floor where the so-called “last boss” was located, so it would be dangerous if we didn’t brace ourselves.

The opponent was known as the Demon of Wisdom or the Canary of Demise.

It was no exaggeration to say that the fate of Avi’s domain would be decided here.

…It should be a serious situation, but for some reason, reality denied it.

Up until now, my father and the others were in the vanguard, while my brother and I were in the rearguard…but now, the positions of the vanguard and rearguard were reversed.

It was because Father and the others were talking peacefully with the Clown’s Mirror.

“You should come to the mansion once you get out of here.”

“Really!?”

“Yes, you are most welcome.”

“Wow! I’m so happy!”

‘……’

Hey you, the current head of the Avi family.

Is it really okay to be so soft?

That person is a mirror that can swallow you if you’re not careful, right!?!

The Clown’s Mirror was talking peacefully with my father, but it was still wrapped around with a rope…and was being dragged by the rear members.

As he was going down the stairs, he was was banging up and down on the steps, you know!?

“That’s just like Father and the others.”

My brother laughed while narrowing his eyes as he glanced at Father and the rest.

Somehow…it made sense, but it was strangely annoying that the explanation was over.

Well…even if something did happen to my father, it was okay because we would still have my brother who would be the head of the family at the time! (***T/N: Lmao, Charl is savage)

I decided to make my father a victim in my heart and change my bewildered mindset.

Finally, once our group stepped into the tenth dungeon level, we found…

“You’re all late!!”

Dark-colored hair and dark-colored eyes. She had mysterious eyes that looked as if the edges of the pupils were gold, and a body with translucent white skin. She wore a bright red dress with slits and a smooth, silky sheen. She looked to be in her early twenties…or maybe older, since she’s a demon beast.

I wonder if she’s the same age as an aunt, grandmother…or perhaps my great-grandmother? Either way, she was standing there with her arms folded in front of her.

“Excuse me!? That’s rude! Don’t call me a great-grandmother!! I am still young!!”

Her face was red with indignation.

Eh?

No way…is the Canary of Demise a monster that can read minds?

I tilted my head, not understanding what this could mean.

“Charlotte…you said everything out loud.”

Mira spoke with a dumbfounded look on his face.

What the—?!?

So I did! Teehee~

“I could never do that in this situation…I envy Charlotte’s strong heart…”

Mira sighed deeply.

“Isn’t that what makes her so attractive? I’m guess you still don’t understand Charlotte-sama’s charm.”

Silas gave a provocative smile.

“Huh? I know that! Charlotte is basically a reckless and careless caretaker! Her ideas are ambiguous and nonsensical!”

Mira snapped at Silas.

Mira…is that a compliment? Aren’t you just badmouthing me?

“She’s so driven and softhearted that she can’t leave things alone even when they don’t matter, she exceeds her limits until she’s on the verge of tears, and is always desperately trying like an idiot.”

What do you mean, ‘like an idiot’…?

Mira. You’re just putting me down, aren’t you?

“Heh. I know exactly what you mean.”

Silas!?!

Hmm…So the two of them see me like that?

Is that okay, though?!?

I really don’t want to worry about that, so it doesn’t matter what they think of me!

…I’m not hurt…

“Okay, okay…Stop. If you don’t stop it there, I’ll get angry.”

My brother broke in between Mira and Silas and tilted his head towards me.

““Ah—””

I must have had a delicate expression on my face, so the eyes of the two people who noticed were wide open to the max.

“Charlotte!…No, it’s not—!”

“That’s right! What we’re trying to say is—!”

Mira and Silas came to my sides and starting flustering together.

The two of them are moving in sync as if they were doing some kind of dance.

I could only watch them silently with a blank stare.

At that time…

“…You guys. You’ve all got quite some nerve, don’t you?”

It was the Canary of Demise that had been left alone until now that broke through the delicate atmosphere that was flowing through us.

“I hate being ignored.”

She wrinkled her brow and turned her body, crossing her arms as if to emphasize her chest.

…This is not good. Did we make her angry?

I could feel a cold sensation running down my back, but what I couldn’t help but notice the most was…the bountiful bosom of the Canary of Demise.

That chest…how enviable.

My chest still isn’t at the level of graduating. What should I do to become like that? What should  I eat? What magic might have an effect on it?”

“I-It’s okay! You’re still young, you know!? They’ll grow! I’m sure you guys think so too, right?”

I’m not sure why, but when I looked at my own chest and compared it to the Canary’s chest and let out a big sigh, she started to follow after me.

Unintentionally, when I saw the people who she had called “you,” everyone quickly turned their eyes away.

Was it my imagination that Mira and Silas’ faces were red?

What was more worrisome was my brother.

Isn’t he laughing too much…?

Big brother was laughing all by himself, holding his stomach.

Hmph! I’m not going to talk to him for a while!!!

I puffed up my cheeks.

“Ahh jeez. You really are a crazy girl…”

Seeing our interaction, Canary sighed as if in amazement.

“You’re on their side, right?”

The Canary looked to the side at the Clown’s Mirror.

The Clown’s Mirror was sweating.

“…I’m sorry…Big sister”

The Clown’s Mirror muttered while averting his gaze.

…Big sister!?!

“The clown’s mirror and her are…brother and sister…?”

I pointed at the clown’s mirror and the Canary alternately.

“Yes. He is my real younger brother. We are the Demon King’s children.”

I can agree with the real younger brother part…

But the Demon King’s children!?!

Eh? Is it really okay for the story to be flowing smoothly like this…? -sweats-

The Demon King…the one who is supposed to be the final boss—that Demon King!?

And he’s the father of the Canary of Demise!?!

“What should I do? Even if I fight you, it’s a bit disadvantageous for me…”

I’m not sure if she realizes that I’m upset or not…

The Canary put her index finger to her lips and narrowed her eyes as she stared at me.

“That’s right. I have a favor to ask of you.”

She smiled seductively and approached me in a flash.

I stopped Brother and the others from  trying to protect  me and took a step forward.

“…What is it?”

I answered and braced myself while I strengthened the universal barrier.

Then, just as I worried about the Canary who had reached right in front of me…she suddenly lowered her posture in a bow

“Please! Let me have some of that ice cream with mei-liquor soaked dried fruits.”

With that, she got down on her knees with her head prostrated on the floor.

Ehhhh?!?

I have no words…What the hell is this situation?

And what’s more…mei-liquor fruit ice cream…

How does she know about that?

“How did you…?”

I had to ask…

“Actually…I’ve been watching you through my brother ever since you came to this dungeon.”

The Canary sat upright and looked up at me.

There was not a hint of shame on her face.

“The non-standard magic used in the dungeon, the revenge on the elven village…I already knew that I was no match for you.”

The Canary had a vacant expression on her face, as if she was looking somewhere far away.

And just when I thought that her gaze had come back to me in the real world…

“You can keep me…! Just give me that! Then I will pledge my eternal loyalty to you!…Please!”

And then once again, she pressed her forehead on the floor.

Eh…

She’s known as the Demon of Wisdom, and the Canary of Demise…And yet, she says to ‘keep’…

And isn’t she the daughter of the demon king?!?

Confused, I turned around to get advice from my older brother an the others.

The people behind me…

My brother was the only one smiling, while everyone else was stiff with their eyes wide open and their mouths agape.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

T/N: Even the final boss won’t want to deal with Charl at this rate, hahaha.

Also, my thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who is in danger, or has friends or family in danger during these trying times. I wish I could offer more than kind words for support, but I remain grateful for any unity and courage that has been nurtured in the midst of such travesty.
