As a villain, I raised a defeated dog to become a black boss

Will did not "kick" Shona out of the team.

Using "coincidence" to turn things around and back to the original path...

It's like an arrangement made by "fate".

"Why are you looking at me in a daze? What? You haven't seen me for two days and you don't recognize me?"

Shona shook her hand in front of her before bringing Will out of his complicated thinking.

"You, shouldn't you be on your way to the capital? After all, your little princess may be waiting there in a hurry. The consequences of being one day late would be disastrous. Why are you here?"

Xiuna showed a strange expression and looked at the power of attorney in her hand.

"Oh, you're interested in Castlevania [-]."

"Because... I can't go there empty-handed."

Will spread his hands, and except for his staff in one hand, there was nothing else.

"A man can't apologize without a gift, right?"

"Entak... Demon... Well, you said it and asked me about related books. The swordsmanship they practice is indeed mysterious, but it is indeed related to demons."

"This demon is the 'demon defined by the dungeon'..."

There is a very unorthodox race in the dungeon that does not exist in "reality" and can only be seen in the dungeon.

demon.

Their low-level forms usually have sharp horns, can fly with small wings, and are mischievous and mischievous.The high-level form looks very close to the human shape and is very beautiful overall. It can imitate various human moves and do them faster and better.

The "Emperor" level BOSS form will be close to a "concept", with no specific appearance, appearing in black mist, creating a very abstract dungeon with hallucinations and mental attacks. Compared with frontal attacks, I like to be in the dungeon. Just use sweet words to divide a team.

Although people in this world seem "very rare", to Will, these types of monsters are like...a collection of stereotypes of the word "demon" in various literary and artistic works.

"So, you're here to try your luck and see if you can get the resources to make swords from here?"

"Ah."

Will nodded.

"But how did you get here after me? Even if it's a carriage, it was the people I hired who drove non-stop to get here first."

Shona scratched her head sheepishly.

"Well... did you know? About ten kilometers further away, there is a city that is a mining area, which means... there are trains."

"..."

"After I said goodbye to you, I grabbed a train and came here first. Correction, not the back foot. I've been here for two days."

As expected of her!

Shona is really...

Always giving Will unexpected surprises, always ready to scare him.

However, this is also similar to Xiu.

As a male protagonist who "must work hard to shape his specialness", he will always do something that is not very legal but unexpectedly efficient.

and so……

Sure enough, she is inextricably linked to the missing Xiu?

Maybe she herself is the cause of all this...

"Well...as expected..."

Will was still thinking about things when Shona suddenly came closer, his shadow reflected in her eyes.

"W-what...as expected?"

"As expected, you are not very happy. Your brows are already furrowed. You still look like you are depressed, which is hard to see on your face."

Shona was particularly sensitive to the changes in his expression.

"I'm so sad. Is it so unhappy to meet me by chance? Wow, we obviously had such a good relationship before."

Shona, this...

Are you angry?

"No, look how happy I am to see you."

He subconsciously performed a face change.

But was interrupted by Shona——

She placed her fingers gently on her lips.

"No, I know. You don't like such 'arranged coincidences', or perhaps to use your words, 'fate'? Right?"

Shona is still the same Shona who understands him and cares about him from a very "unexpected" perspective.

Shona who is mysterious but believes everything he says.

"However, precisely because of this, at least you won't be alone in this strange town, facing the [-]th Castlevania alone."

"That's right. There isn't even a second adventurer in this place where nothing matters."

"And, there will always be someone to remind you..."

Shona stretched out her hand, pulled up the hood that Will had taken off because he had relaxed his vigilance because he was alone here, and put it on his head.

"Be careful and don't expose yourself."

After doing all this, Xiuna pointedly flicked her fingers to his side.

Will just discovered...

Although there are no other adventurers here, his missing person notice has been posted on the bulletin board.

The royal family’s claws have already reached here!

"There's no one else...it doesn't matter."

"and also……"

Shona tore up the commission in front of her.

The fine fragments fell to the ground along with the dust that continued to fall under the sun, and merged with the thin layer of dust on the ground. It may be that no one will clean it for many years. Shona tore up the commission today.

"I don't want two salaries, I'm still a member of Qiming Star."

"So you see, fate isn't all bad, right?"

　~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tsemaat town, night.

After entering the night, the town of Tsemaat becomes even more deserted.

There is no commercial street or snack bar. Most of the residents here are self-sufficient small farmers here - the Adventurers Association has not opened any stores here.

Shona didn't mention much information about the "Tenth Castlevania" to him. According to her, she had been here for two days and had a very clear understanding of this dungeon, and it was very interesting. He had to let him know it by himself. To "discover".

and so……

They only discussed Treya's Entak sword skills and how the Entak royal family obtained this power.

It was nightfall and it was time for the two of them to eat.

"Xuna, what did you eat these two days? Did you go hunting and cook by yourself? Or did you eat and drink at the residents' houses?"

"Of course you hunt on your own!"

"what?"

"You're kidding. Eating and drinking at a resident's house - if you had to choose, it's about the same as this?"

"What does almost mean?"

Shona took a few steps towards the end of the road.

then……

stopped.

Pointing behind her...

The house number of the [-]th Castlevania.

The doors of each dungeon were built by the monsters in the dungeon themselves at night, and are full of their own characteristics.

The door number of this dungeon...

Why is it so bright at night?The printed words "The Tenth Castlevania" sparkled in the dark night and among the dark green lush branches——

Just like the neon lights in a nightclub.

"In the evening, I usually choose to eat here."

"what?"

"This is... this wonderful place in the underground city. This is probably where it hides its secrets."

"It...is more like...a...dungeon for people to have fun and relax?"

"...Amusement park?"

"Wow, that's a good word, just use it!"

2 Chapter [-] Castlevania x Mountain Village Dungeon√

I just walked through the door of the dungeon.

Entering the "inner" space of the dungeon, a white light flashed before Will's eyes.

then……

In front of him is a bright hall with neatly arranged tables, chairs and benches in red and black colors.

As the [-]th Castlevania is an underground city in the remote town of Zermatt, it is naturally difficult to see adventurers here.

but……

This place definitely cannot be called "deserted".

"Welcome! Hehehe, what a... What a distinguished guest!"

"You two, come this way. The largest and most luxurious seats are prepared for you two."

Because the low-level "devil" just described was holding the menu board, shaking its small wings and pointed tail, and sticking out its bright red tongue, approaching.

And the little devil flying in the air like this...

At first glance, there are more than a dozen?

Then reach inside.

click!

click!

click!

In the already bright hall, a few more reddish warm-toned lights were turned on, suddenly illuminating the seats in the distance as if they were gold.

When Will was still in a daze "This is really the first level of the dungeon", he found that he had been grabbed by his clothes by the demon behind him and hung in mid-air.

It only takes a few minutes...

The two of them sat on the seats far away.

"Hello, please look at the menu. Sorry, because we don't know how to write in human language, the dishes can only be drawn."

A small hand stretched out from the edge of the table, and then gently slid the "menu" in front of the two of them.

This is……?

Standing under the table is a slightly more "advanced" demon.

Her wings are relatively small, her skin is almost human-like white, and she retains some features except for the horns and tail on her head, making her more like a "monster girl with demonic elements."

She looked like a human about seven or eight years old, and because the table looked like a bar table, she even had to stand on tiptoes to bring the menu up.

"This……"
