Episode 139 [To Rubado and the Labyrinth/1]
The night I received Rubado's request to accompany me, I gathered everyone together and talked about Rubado.
“If Leeza-san’s grandfather asks, I’ll go along too!”
"I'm going too! Besides, I haven't moved in a long time and I wanted to get some exercise!"
"I'm going too. It looks like there's something I want in that dungeon, so I'd like to go get it first."
So, everyone decided to participate, and the next day, I introduced Chloe and the others to Rubado.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Riza's grandfather Rubado. Thank you for coming with me today."
“I have always been indebted to Lisa, so I wanted to repay you even a little.”
When Chloe and the others were exchanging greetings, Leeza came towards me.
"Sorry, grandpa will take care of you."
"I'm indebted to Leeza, and it's bad for my health to take a break all the time."
After saying that to Lisa who came to see me off, I ran my horse and departed from the capital.
On the way there, Rubado was chatting happily with everyone in the carriage.
Leeza seems a little too approachable, but Rubado isn't like that at all, and everyone seems easy to talk to.
After that, we arrived at the dungeon without any problems, and since we had confirmed our positions before coming here, we formed our formation and entered the dungeon.
First, I'll leave the vanguard to Rei and Rubado, and I'll place Chloe and Ren in the rear, and as usual, I'll keep an eye on the whole thing, issue instructions, and participate in the attack.
"Rei, this is my first time working with Rubado-san, so I'll focus on supporting you at first, but once you get used to it to a certain extent, I'll leave it to you two."
“Yes, nice to meet you Rubado-san.”
"Hmm, nice to meet you Rei."
From here, it looks like a grandfather and grandson walking together.
"Now, no matter how difficult the dungeon is, you must not let your guard down. Everyone, proceed without getting hurt."
""yes!""
Then, we proceeded deeper into the dungeon and immediately encountered a monster.
Rei and Rubado used [Body Strengthening] at the same time, approached the monster and began fighting.
I gave instructions to Chloe to defeat the monster that was trying to approach Rei and the others, and while I checked my surroundings, I stepped forward and launched an attack on the monster.
The number of monsters this time was a little large, but with the addition of Rubado, the monsters were easily exterminated.
“As expected of a silver-class adventurer.”
"Hmph, I'm an old man who can move around, so this is just a piece of cake."
When I praised Rubado, he said that with a happy smile and Len came up next to me.
“Just now, it looked like the monsters were exploding, but was that an illusion?”
"No, it's not a hallucination. The power of Mr. Rubado's fists is seriously dangerous."
When Ren heard that, he muttered, ``There was someone other than my sister...''.
After that, we battled several times with monsters, and when we saw that Rei and Rubado's cooperation had become quite complete, we started moving to our target location.
This time's destination is the middle floor of this dungeon, so it will take about an hour from the current location.
"Well, there's no need to rush, so let's go slowly."
After saying that, I gave instructions to everyone and headed towards my destination.
"Hey, Jin-kun. I wonder if Rubado-san is part of a fixed party?"
About 30 minutes had passed since I started the strategy, and Rei, who had come to take a break behind me, asked me about this.
"From what I've heard, it seems like there's no specific party or group of friends. Even if you occasionally go to the dungeon with someone you know, it seems like you only team up on that occasion."
"That's right. So, even if you invite your friends, there's a high possibility that they won't come..."
When Ray said that, I asked him, ``Do you want to recruit Mr. Rubado?''
"I thought it would be fun if I stayed here, Jin-kun, you said before, right? I sometimes find it troublesome to come back to the capital for maintenance, but if Rubado-san is here, I can take care of the equipment even when I'm traveling. I think he'll give it to me."
"Okay, but I don't think that's possible. Rubado-san, it seems like he doesn't go out of the royal capital much because he's worried about Leeza."
I heard that her own son went on a journey after stealing some money, and since then, Rubado has been staying close to Liza and watching over her.
"Also, I feel like maintenance is a hassle, but I can talk about that while I'm talking to the princess. I'm not even thinking about finding a blacksmith right now."
“I see, well, Mr. Rubado has his own life.”
After Rei said that, she finished her break and returned to her original place.
