all~ The parents of the world surely have it more difficult than me~”
“That certainly seems so——Look here, Allen, Elena.
It’s not like Takumi and I are angry or anything, so don’t be so downhearted.
We should be on our way soon, so please lead us safely.”
“”… Yee~s.””

Still feeling a bit downhearted, Allen and Elena began advancing on the right path.
The path had many bends, but for some reason, we arrived at a small room after being confronted by many monsters on a straight road.

“A dead end?”
“… I don’t see any devices on the wall.”

The knights were looking for something while lightly knocking on the wall.
But, it seemed just like a normal stone wall.

“”Over here~””
“… Allen, Elena, that’s just a wall, isn’t it?”

However, Allen and Elena kept pointing at the wall.
Claudio-sama has already investigated that part, so even Al-sama was doubtful.

“It appears that it was a wrong way.
Your Highness, shall we go back?”
“… N~”

Najack-sama proposed going back.

“Onii~chan.”
“Here~”
“Yes, yes.
I got it——Al-sama, stand back a little, please.”
“N? What do you intend on doing, Takumi?”
“I will try breaking the wall first——Air Shot.”

I helped Al-sama to a safe place and fired magic at the part of the wall Allen and Elena pointed out.
The wall crumbled down and revealed a staircase that led directly down below.

“”This~””
“”””Whaa!?””””

Allen and Elena were making smug expressions at Al-sama and the knights who were terribly shocked.
I see, Allen and Elena were aiming for the hidden staircase, so no wonder they did not yield when it came to the paths.

“To think there would be a staircase at a place like this!”

“A, a hidden route, here!?”

Hidden route? Hee~ So there was such things in dungeons, huh~ I thought there was a hidden room with a treasure chest or something under the stairs.

“So this is the reason the kids were so persistent at taking the right path.”
“But, what do we do? If a case the route is different beyond this point, it’s possible that we are not going to encounter the Flamesaurus that Al-sama needs.
Therefore, if you want to turn back, now is the time.”

If it was only us, we would advance on this path without hesitation.
But, we have an objective of the Flamesaurus this time.
It would be terrible if we did not encounter a Flamesaurus on this path.
But well, we decide to take a look at the path below first.
Then, we arrived on a passage that led further inside.

“This is definite.
I am thinking of proceeding further, but what do you guys think? Najack, Kevin, Claudio.”
“I have no doubts that this is a new discovery, so I believe it would be worthwhile investigating further.”
“I’m concerned about the lack of information, but I think we can cope with whatever there is since we have reached the 10th floor before, I approve of going further.”
“I would be troubled if something happens to Your Highness because of an unforeseen situation.
I think it would be better to return to the castle and send another unit to investigate first.”

Najack-sama who is overprotective of Al-sama was not opposing of proceeding on the hidden route.
Kevin-sama has advanced to the 10th floor and unlocked the transfer device, so he was in favor of proceeding further.
Claudio-sama opposed, fearing for Al-sama’s safety.
Their opinions split splendidly~

“Takumi, can you deal with this route if we proceed on it?”
“Yes, this is an intermediate level dungeon, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Taking the difficulty of an intermediate level dungeon like the Dungeon of Ripples into consideration, we alone should be enough to capture this dungeon.
Moreover, we have three more skilled knights with us this time.
We are here to protect Al-sama, but he also can fight quite well, so he shouldn’t be a burden.
There are no problems.

“Fumu.
Let’s advance on this path then.
——Allen, Elena, I leave the guidance to you.”
“”Yea!””

Al-sama decided to proceed on the hidden route, and we began the capture of the sixth floor with Allen and Elena in the vanguard.
