Raised in Dungeon



That man was an other-worlder. As he said, he was a dungeon specialist who visited Barkaley's dungeon once a year.

Allen actually doubted his words. Because as long as he had seen dungeon specialists, they all never wore anything as flashy as this guy. Most of the specialists were also skinny because they were not the type to attack the monsters.

This person's body was quite muscular, and he wore unique armor and a powerful-looking sword. Anyway, this person looked more like a great vanguard than a specialist.

But he doesn't really care about that. For now, he wanted to know about his blessing.

"I have a space manipulation kind of blessing. I can see an event that had happened at any time in a room; what you saw earlier was an event of what happened here about 6 years ago."

"Amazing! You can do that kind of thing?! Then, can you show me what happened 15 years ago?!" shouted Allen, hoping he could find something about himself when the Queen Orc took him.

However, what he actually wanted was just to see his mother's face again.

"Aaah sorry, that can't be. Searching for traces takes a long time, and jumping that far would take a lot of mana."

"I... I see..."

Allen was gloomy; he had slightly expected that things wouldn't go that smoothly.

"So, what about you? What are you doing here?"

Allen was then confused. He didn't want to tell this person about his past. Rodion also forbade him to do it to random people.

"I-I just went in to rest after entering the dungeon."

The man once again looked at Allen with a suspicious look.

"You seem to be hiding something."

Trying to keep the man from gathering information about him, Allen asked, "So what is your purpose in looking at this place's past?"

The man moved his face away from Allen, and then he answered

"I've been coming here for three years, which means I've seen a lot of things happen in this room."

'A lot of things...' Allen thought.

"That's when I realized the abnormality in this room. So distorted, but also so beautiful.

This tree house—no, this entire room proves that monsters and humans can coexist.

Even though monsters always hate humans, and vice versa, but how can two individuals here create such a close relationship in this room? How can a brutal Queen Orc do everything she can to protect their relationship with human, from the explorers who will try to separate them?

I will continue to search for the answer."

"Humans and monsters, living side by side? Is that possible?"

"I don't know, something is shackling us all to hate each other, but no one knows how to break the shackles. Other than the two individuals who have been in this room."

Allen looked around the room, and recalled his time with Queen Orc in that room. When he bathed, when they talked, and when he fell asleep.

"Maybe what these two need is a good talk. It would be beneficial for both sides to understand that they do not have any intentions of violence and can actually gain advantages by cooperating," replied Allen, who spoke using the preferences of his life and Queen Orc.

Giggling at his response, the man found it intriguing yet somewhat naive.

"Hahaha, interesting answer but also beta. If monsters could rid themselves of their innate desire to harm the angel's subordinates, there might be a possibility for that to be done."

Allen didn't listen to the man. He still continued to look at the room with teary eyes.

That man

looked at Allen's face with a smile.

"Allen, your journey from here will probably be longer. After parting with the people who continue to help you, you will be faced with problems that only you can overcome on your own. Even so, I have hope for you, that one day you can fulfill my dream," the man said.

"Wait, what? You know my name?!" shouted Allen.

"Hehe, actually I knew it from the beginning. My people once sent me to investigate you to learn how you stopped the plague in this city. But the people in the city kept pushing me away."

"I-I see..."

'I'm now unsure which of his words are lies and which are truthful,' Allen thought.

"Then I'll go first," Allen said.

"Eh? Is that it? You don't want to ask me more questions?"

"There's no need. You want to learn how humans and monsters coexist, right? I'm interested in your god's blessing and would like to watch what the child and the monster do here, but I'm also in a hurry.

I just want to say goodbye to this town and this dungeon."

"I see... Good luck on your journey then."

"Thank you."

Allen walked away from there. The man looked at Allen from behind with a smile, then called out to him.

"Allen! What do you think about my dream of monsters and humans living together?! Is that really impossible?!"

Allen turned around "I don't know! But I believe it can be happened!"

The man smiled, then waved his hand.

"Alleeen!"

"Yeah?! What else?!"

"I haven't said my name yet!"

"Oh yeah?! What's your name?!"

"My name is Higashiro Yamanaka! Remember that name! I hope we can meet in the future!"

"Nice to meet you Higashiro! In the meantime, please show me your god blessings again!" shouted Allen before closing the door.

Inside the room, Higashiro was still smiling.

"Sir, I didn't realize that Allen is such an amazing person."

Then he thought, 'I don't know how small the chance is for me to meet him again, especially since we are in different worlds. But hopefully, once we meet…

We won't kill each other...

Because as a monster, I must continue to hate humans.'

"Nishizaka, what are you doing right now? Is she doing well in this world? I hope she can stop looking for me and live in this world happily."
