“—This knife will set me free.”
 
“—Someone… help.”
 
“—Nah, I’m the MC, so this is all a misunderstanding lol▲”
 
Fei, riding the boomerang, drops a third option outta nowhere.

Should we recap the five chaotic days?

Day 2 thoughts: Mordred-chan is adorable, Fei’s doing a bon dance, and Ali-what’s-her-name is just background noise.

Wait, though, Fei and Mordred standing side by side feel kinda… plain? Even though they’re both gorgeous with great figures.

Bonus Story
 

 
After five turbulent days, the sixth morning arrived. At Grandma Fermi’s house, Alicia hummed cheerfully as she cooked in the kitchen. Gone was the tension from last night—her expression was now bright and carefree.
 
She placed ham and lettuce on fluffy bread, drizzled it with special sauce, then topped it with another slice to make sandwiches.
 
After preparing several, she added egg soup and coffee to the spread.
 
“Alicia, good morning…”
 
“Oh, good—wait, are you okay? You look pale.”
 
“Ah, yeah, I’m fine… You, on the other hand, seem unusually lively. … Read the rest

“…Fei, you perv.”
 
“Don’t care. Get dressed and get out.”
 
“Y-Yeah, yeah, I know!”
 
(…I’m the one who stripped, and I’m calling him a pervert? Maybe I can’t call Mordred a weirdo anymore. More importantly, I need to get dressed before Fermi or Barbara—or worse, Mordred—)
 
“—Dear Fei♪ I’ve worked so hard to make you this gratin—”
 
“W-Wait, this isn’t what it looks like!”
 
Mordred, who’d entered with a tray of food for Fei’s recovery, locked eyes with Alicia.
 
She had to explain. Fast.
 
“L-Look! It’s not like I was trying to—I … Read the rest

—That’s it. This knife will set me free.
 
—Someone… help me.
 
A hand stops her. Rhine stands there. But she’s too far gone for words.
 
Since coming here, Alicia has been hurt and worn down beyond repair. He takes her hand and embraces her.
 
She confesses. About her nature. About believing she caused this.
 
—I’ll carry it with you.
 
And so, her story continues.
 
—That was a possible future. A lost thread of the world, now gone.
 
But here and now, the living remain. No one is hurt. Alicia has never been broken.
 
Yet… this incident leaves a deep scar … Read the rest

Ahhh, there are still so many monsters left… This might be the biggest, most unfair event yet… What a great way to cap things off! Whoever came up with this is a genius!!
 
I’ve never felt this hyped before!!! This kind of absurd event is just so protagonist-like—I can’t help but laugh.
 
“I’ll kill every last one of them. They’re all just stepping stones for my event.”
 
“I’ll wipe them out—every single one!!!”
 
Just as I was thinking that, Mordred joined the fight! Then, other adventurers started jumping in too… So that’s the kind of … Read the rest

Dodge. Slash. Heal. Slash. Dodge. Heal. Slash-slash-slash-slash. Dodge. Heal. Dodge-dodge. Heal.

Wounded, healed, swinging his sword—pain was constant.
 
Blood spilled. Fangs and claws tore his clothes, his flesh. Yet he never stopped running, ensuring he was never surrounded.
 
Walking the thinnest line between life and death.
 
“He’s… smiling.”
 
Alone, he grinned.

No one could understand.
 
One misstep, and he’d be crushed. Killed. He wasn’t just toeing the line with death—he’d already stepped halfway into its domain.
 
No one should be able to smile in that state.
 
It was like being told to cross … Read the rest

“Well… there are other parties and squads heading down besides Rhine’s team. And the guild is still recruiting for reinforcements… In the end, taking a quest or entering the dungeon is your choice…”
 
(But Alicia kind of likes Rhine. And Fei kind of reminds me of Rhine… and I like him too… If anything happens to them, I’d hate that… But I can’t just let Rhine go alone either…)
 
Barbara agonized. The monster march had been reported early. Their numbers were still small. Technically, it wasn’t urgent.
 
But she felt uneasy. Her instincts screamed at her. Even … Read the rest

Chapter 5 – End of Sightseeing!!!
 

 
[Day 5 – The March of Monsters]
 
In the Free City, there lies the world’s greatest dungeon. It contains nearly every type of monster known to inhabit the surface. There are even species that don’t exist above ground. Truly, it’s a dungeon worthy of being called the world’s best.
 
On the 34th floor of that dungeon—it’s like a deep, dense forest. A lone man stood there, gazing at the scenery. Up in the trees, monkey-like monsters were watching him. From the sky, a large bird with hawk-like, piercing eyes flew … Read the rest
