34 – Dungeon (2)
‘What should I do with this?’
Lily, a blonde warrior, suddenly came to visit me while I was training my magic.
I obviously never told anyone, so I was wondering how Lily came to visit me.
When I saw the box of boxes in front of me, those doubts disappeared immediately.
A subtle smell spreading from a closed box.
Usually, there is food in the box.
I couldn’t believe that there was food that smelled like that.
‘No, isn’t that impossible?’
When I turned my head slightly, I made eye contact with Lily, who was still looking at me.
Lily waited with a smile on her face behind the iron bars, but her hand could not move.
A long time ago,
Lily has cooked for my family only once.
At first, I expected it to be my favorite character’s dish, but it didn’t take long for my feelings to change.
‘No, but not now.’
She shook her head, burying all the fears of the past.
When was that time?
You shouldn’t be scared before you even start working at the age of seven.
Definitely learning how to cook from the Bright family will prevent you from reliving the nightmare of that day.
Lily is also confident, so it is clear that she brought it with confidence.
“Whoa.”
Let’s take a deep breath and place our hands on the box of boxes.
The stench hidden in the box came out into the world.
What I opened was not a box of boxes, but Pandora’s box?
What on earth did I open?
‘Sucks!’
It is not enough to simply call it a bad smell.
This is a biochemical weapon.
It is clear that as soon as you open it, your eyes sting, your head becomes dizzy, and your throat burns.
What was in the box wasn’t even a dish.
Black slime reminiscent of slime.
The inside of the box was filled with nothing but slime.
“… ….”
“Eat quickly. “I worked hard to make it, so it’s sure to be delicious!”
You mean you didn’t eat it?
You’re saying you’re going to feed me something like that.
While I was feeling betrayed, Lily looked at me with a very expectant look on her face.
If I don’t eat it and throw it away or reject it, I will definitely be sad.
The sad face of Lily’s favorite character.
There is no way I can refuse!
‘Tree Amitabha Buddha!’
I closed my eyes tightly and pushed the black mucus into my mouth.
Then a stench explodes in the mouth.
Originally, the smell of food is felt better when you eat it than when you smell it.
The bad smell I have smelled so far was just the starting line.
“Wow!”
It is dangerous.
It is truly dangerous.
Gulp
I forced down the feeling of a foreign body rising down my throat and swallowed the remaining mucus in my mouth.
‘I can’t taste anything like this.’
I have no idea what this tastes like, perhaps because of the bad smell.
All I can feel is a mind-numbing stench and a sticky texture.
The texture stayed in my mouth and didn’t feel very good.
“… “Can I ask you one question?”
“Huh? What?”
“What is the name of this dish?”
I asked Lily through the iron bars, pointing to a dish that had no shape left.
I can understand if it is her original dish.
Is it possible that a dish with a recipe could have failed like this?
If you learn well later, you will never cook a dish like this again.
I have no doubt about it.
But Lily responded energetically, shattering even my expectations.
“Bacon sandwich!”
“……….”
There are a lot of things I want to say right now, but I didn’t bother to say them out loud.
This is a sandwich!
Is it possible to call a slime that doesn’t even have its original shape a sandwich?
They even say it’s a bacon sandwich, but the only thing you chew is not mucus.
But Lily called it a sandwich.
So, this means that it is something made only with sandwich ingredients.
“… “Isn’t it delicious?”
Lily, who was watching my reaction, asked with tears in her eyes.
You must answer well here.
If you say it’s not tasty, you can buy it, but instead, you have to watch your favorite character cry.
‘The answer is already decided.’
“No, it’s really delicious!”
“Really!?”
No, that’s false.
It tastes better to eat food waste left on the streets.
But I barely held on with the resolve that I couldn’t make Lily cry.
The thumb held high continues to tremble,
The smile that was meant to reassure Lily was so perfect.
‘Go!’
After that, I stuffed the sandwich (mucus) in the box into my mouth.
As a result of eating while enduring the stench that pollutes even the soul,
Only a bite-sized amount of mucilage remained in the bowl.
I feel like I have finally found the finale of a marathon that had no end in sight.
As she swallowed the last of the slime with her trembling hands,
Even though the stench made her head hurt, she was more satisfied than ever.
“hehehe, Rondo too. “You must have been very hungry.”
“Uh, hmm? “Well, that’s right.”
After emptying her cup of rice, Lily, smiling shyly, pointed to it.
“There is still more, so eat a lot.”
“… ….”
For a moment she did not understand what she was saying.
What on earth do you mean?
Where is the slime in this neatly emptied box of boxes?
‘What is it? Is it a boss monster?’
The boss monster I thought I had finally defeated,
I thought of myself recovering and standing up again while directing.
Yes, this box is two-tiered.
When I lifted the top of the box, underneath it was another slime that gave off a foul smell.
Seeing Lily in another despair covered over despair,
She showed her beautiful eye smile.

“Then I’ll come again tomorrow.”
“Gwae, it’s okay! It will be very busy, but there is no need to take the time to come. When you rest, you should rest too. Otherwise, your body won’t be able to hold on!”
“Ron….”
Do you really think I care?
Lily wiped the tears from her face, saying she was moved.
‘Such a terrible experience! ‘Maybe I’ll do it again!’
I feel like I’m struggling in hell that I can’t escape from.
Double attack on bad smell.
If I had to experience that every day, my body wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
When he turned down the offer for Lily’s sake, Lily shook her head and assured him that it was okay.
“I can bring as much as I want for you!”
‘If it’s for me, you can’t bring it back again!’
I want to tell you right now,
How can you say something like that to your favorite character who smiles brightly?
This is the only thing I can do for Lily, who has no way of knowing the inside story.
“Then can we reduce it by half? “I felt so bloated after eating.”
“Was it a bit much? “Then I’ll bring a little bit next time.”
If you can’t avoid it, you have no choice but to mitigate the impact.
After checking on Lily, who returned with an empty box.
She immediately lay down on the bed.
She felt nauseous and dizzy, as if she were motion sick.
I was surprised by the stench I smelled for the first time in my life, but I was glad I forced myself to eat it.
I want to lose my mind and sleep soundly like this,
Due to the characteristics of room 4, that is not possible.
(Prison guard. It’s okay, right?)
‘Does it look okay to you?’
If a person is half dead and comes back to life, but they look fine, they should go to an ophthalmologist.
Luckily, I just asked to confirm the location.
I can hear a sheepish laugh as if he doesn’t actually think that way.
“Ha, it was really terrible. “Is that really food?”
No matter how much the food is made by your favorite character, it is not like that.
It is surprising that the box remains intact despite containing such biochemical substances.
(But is that really food? It smells bad from here too.)
‘… ‘Abyss Prison is in another dimension, right?’
(Yeah, right….)
“……….”
Lily, what on earth have you made?
Now, I’m not afraid of you, but I yearn for you.
How did they create a stench that transcends dimensions?
If he had been a chef instead of a warrior, he wouldn’t have defeated the final boss.
‘No, that can’t be…’ .’
I immediately denied it, but the remaining possibilities still lingered in my mind.
For now, in order to survive, we must stop the magic power from escaping.
If you cannot reach the realm of unconsciousness,
I won’t be able to sleep a wink for a week.
My body is already tired from training and Lily’s surprise attack.
In addition, if you can’t rest properly, it’s no wonder you end up a stinking corpse the next day.
‘By the way, even if it was me in the past, I had a good time finding a place like this.’
Room 4 of the current underground prison.
Discovering this place was purely by chance.
I entered cell number 4 simply because there were no empty seats in the prison.
However, soon after entering room 4, the character began to struggle and soon died.
After that, if you enter room 4, the character dies.
Every time I went to prison, I desperately prayed that it wouldn’t be as bad as cell number 4.
Then, by chance, I entered room 4 and thought about the next play.
Isn’t this the one that came out safely without dying?
And that’s with greatly improved magical power compared to before.

As a result of further investigation,
Room 4 found out that if you can absorb and resist magic power, your magic power increases.
“Whoa.”
I tried to calm my mind and concentrate once again, but I couldn’t concentrate because of the stench that was boiling inside.
‘… Is this the end?’
I hate to sound weak, but I frowned at the stench that kept rising.
What on earth did they feed me?
In fact, it wasn’t Lily, but an assassin disguised as Lily.
The aftereffects of the sandwich (mucus) are so dangerous that it makes you think that way.
“Hmm!”
Party! Match!
I tapped my cheek vigorously to come to my senses.
It wasn’t enough to cause any aftereffects, but I still came to my senses.
After closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and began to focus again.
“Ha.”
6 Days left.
The thought of living like this going on for so long is mind-boggling.
