95. Birthdays
There is a dungeon under the academy.
A very secret place that anyone, including the teacher, could count on one hand.
The reason for hiding the place was very simple. It was a very dangerous place, and at the same time, it was a place no one could enter.
‘Dinua… Can I come in?’
Ian thought so and looked at Dinoir. In order for the inhabitants of another world to enter the Infinite Dungeon, they had to form a party with the player.
And the only people who can party with players are those who have appeared in the game at least once.
‘I was in the game.’
Of course, there was a time when Dinoir appeared.
Not as an ally, but as an enemy, a boss monster.
Putting aside the question of whether the boss monster could be a companion, Ian immediately summoned Noah from the academy.
“What’s up?”
Noah, who appeared without a hint of displeasure despite the sudden call, approached Ian with a posture that showed her cuteness to the fullest.
Since she had never done anything like that, it was very easy to guess who implanted that behavior in her.
‘Evenoa… !’
He tried all sorts of tricks to seduce himself with Noah and his engagement.
Even so, I was confident that I wouldn’t pass.
Ian, who was watching Noah’s aegyo, smiled lightly and took out the object that called her.
“I want to go there after a long time.”
“there?”
Hearing this, Noah looked at the person standing behind Ian. Stella and Dinoir were both combat personnel.
There isn’t a lot of work for these people to gather. And although Noah did not learn, he was not ignorant or ignorant.
“You don’t have Shiira?”
“He hasn’t come yet.”
As I said, the entrance ceremony is on a Monday, so few idiots arrive on Monday.
That fool was Shira. You may think that you are saving time to the limit.
“It’s okay if DiNoir enters the place where Shira is missing. The position is the same.”
“… Over there, Ian?”
“why?”
“They say I’m going and going… Where are you going?”
Dinoir, who had been quietly listening to Ian’s story, questioned and asked.
With those words, Ian realized that Dinoir did not yet know the existence of the Infinite Dungeon itself.
Infinite Dungeon, it was a very difficult concept for the inhabitants of another world to understand.
“From now on, I will go to the new world.”
I had no choice but to say that.
* * *
Beyond the barbed wire and the signs full of danger signs, Ian and his party arrived at the front of the Infinite Dungeon.
Seeing the gigantic, ghastly door in front of him, Dinoir was slightly terrified.
“Hey, Ian-? what’s this?”
“It’s the entrance… It’s cumbersome to explain, so I’ll just go in.”
Ian pushed Dinoir in recklessly. DiNoir felt an instinctive rejection and resisted with all her might, but her fragile body could not overcome Ian’s strength.
As soon as they entered the Infinite Dungeon, a monster very familiar to the party except for Dinoir appeared.
“Hey, hey-!”
“Dinua, don’t be afraid. They are weak enough to beat us.”
“I, really?”
“then.”
Ian was so sure, but he didn’t try to prove it to be true. I just summoned my summoned beast and dealt with the monster from afar.
―Kie-e-e-eek!
Trampling the newly born wriggling young monster, Ian quickly headed to the next level.
There was no time to crouch in a place like this.
‘Level up Dinoir’s pets within today… .’
I cleared the infinite dungeon with a different thought. Every time Dinua killed each monster, she flinched and closed her eyes.
“Dinua.”
“Yes-.”
“Open your eyes and look closely.”
Ian grabbed her by the shoulder and made her go back behind her back so that she could watch the demon die.

Monsters were enemies of mankind, and at the same time, they were threatening creatures that could easily kill humans.
Closing your eyes in front of such an enemy was an act of suicide. Poor? Are you disgusting? Putting all those thoughts aside and surviving was the most important thing.
“While you close your eyes, if that monster spits saliva or poison, how are you going to avoid it?”
“Ah, no- you didn’t spray it… .”
“There is a possibility. Your sister’s summons aren’t the kind of summons that can protect you, so always keep your eyes on the enemy.”
The next level, Ian, ordered her to kill the enemy by directly dealing with the summoned beast. Fortunately, by this point, maybe it was because he had become so used to the appearance of the enemy monster, Dinoir casually killed the monster.
After killing the monster, Dinoir grabbed his trembling hand and looked back at Ian.
“Nana. Did you-?”
“Yeah, that was great.”
“hehehe. Ian I can do anything for you… .”
Dinoir’s eyes are gradually sinking darker. Her eyes, which had completely lost their light, looked at Ian.
Ian looked into those eyes and stiffened for a moment.
“… Dino.”
“Yes?”
“My eyes are open. Tighten your eyes.”
Because it was a dark basement, her sword masturbation was enlarged. The corners of his eyebrows were loose with no strength.
After leaving a message to her to be nervous, Ian continued the hunt.
How long have you been hunting? When you forgot to even count how many floors you have now. Stella and Dinoir’s pets responded.
—Stella! Body, body is weird!
—Nyaoong-.
The fireworks are more colorful.
The darkness gets even more muddy.
Ifrit and Dougshini have evolved one step further.
“Ian!”
“Hey, Ian-.”
Stella, who felt great joy at the fact that she finally leveled up, and Dinoir, who thought they could be praised for the first time, looked at Ian at the same time.
Ian, who congratulated the two of them with applause, smiled hahaha and burst into a bit of annoyance.
‘Why me… .’
As if he had to bear all the experience points of the eight pets in this place, only Ian did not experience leveling up.
By the time the expedition was over, Noah’s summons also leveled up.
Ian still couldn’t level up.
* * *
“It’s okay, it’s okay, Ian… You can work harder next time!”
Noah approached Ian, who was languid, and comforted Ian. Unfortunately for her, her comfort was no consolation at all.
Will you work hard next time? If you are not strong now, there is no meaning. It’s useless if you don’t see results right away.
“… it’s okay.”
However, Ian didn’t want to show his weak side. So he tried to hide his weakness with laughter.
It was a clumsy laugh, so it was impossible for the other children not to notice that Ian was forcibly smiling.
“Because there is tomorrow. don’t worry. Oh, can I go alone?”
Ian said that and left. Noah let out a weak cry, not trying to catch him.
I know very well why he behaves like that, but now that he’s holding on to him, what’s going to change?
Noah took the outstretched hand again and made eye contact with Stella and Dinoir.
All three seemed to be thinking the same thing.
“… Ian, what would you like to do?”
“Well- do you know what he likes in the first place?”
“Come on, a gift… Wouldn’t you like it?”
Stella nodded her head in response to DiNoir’s opinion as if it wasn’t a bad opinion. The problem was that no one in this room really knew what Ian liked.
Stella raised her hand just in case, and drew the children’s attention.
“… Come to think of it, anyone here knows Ian’s birthday?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t even know?”
“I don’t know… .”
Neither Noah nor De Noir, no one knew Ian’s birthday. I didn’t even know what Ian liked. I just didn’t know anything about Ian.
“No, how could no one know!?”
“Ian doesn’t usually talk about himself… .”
“Still!”
At this moment, the women gathered here began to feel ashamed of themselves. You think you like Ian, and you don’t really know anything about him?

Maybe he knew more about his classmate Charles.
Recognizing that fact, the children immediately took action.
Somehow, the acting skills of noble girls were at a level that was second to none.
The first thing I found was a person who knew Ian well.
People who are often referred to as friends.
“… what?”
However, the more they looked for Ian’s friend, the more strange they could feel. Ian had no one to call a friend.
No matter how poor a person is, he always has at least one friend.
If it were, I wouldn’t have been able to get along with them either.
“… You don’t have any friends other than us?”
“Hiding people… is it?”
“Maybe, is he?”
“Ummm, or maybe the rumors about revealing women too much are true… .”
Shocked by the fact that they didn’t have any male friends, the children even believed the false rumors that Ian had revealed so much about women that he had no friends.
Of course, I knew very well from firsthand experience that Ian kept away from women as if they were religious, rather than revealing them.
The only time they knew anything about Ian was when someone who could be said to be friends with Ian came to the academy.
“Hey- it’s been a while! Did I wait?”
Syrah Acacia.
Heir to the Marquis of Acacia.
At the same time, the only person who can almost be said to be ‘friend’ with Ian Clark.
Stella approached her and asked carefully.
“you… Do you know Ian’s birthday?”
“birthday? know.”
“… know?”
I thought she knew, so I asked, but Stella was a little flagrant that she did know.
She knew something that none of us knew.
For some reason, suppressing the feeling of being one step behind her, I asked her about Ian’s birthday.
“When?”
“When?”
Hearing that question, Shira pretended to be worried, put her finger on her lips and let out a sigh.
He smiled softly as if he didn’t even remember.
“I don’t know! I’ll ask you next time we sleep together.”
