Raised in Dungeon

The visit to the Andoram residence did not go well. On the one hand, Felicia was upset and angry that the events in that place had caused her to meet with the Biverlay family's eldest son and was mad that her father could be related to this matter. But on the other hand, Felicia was also relieved that she no longer had to pretend to be friends with other nobles.

Allen's presence in Felicia's life undoubtedly negatively influenced her nobility. But for Rachel, Allen was the one who relieved Felicia's stress and gradually made Felicia more open.

Everything was for Felicia's happiness. So she had to stay close to her.

That's why, right now, Rachel is confused and worried because she won't be with Felicia for a while. After all, Felicia went to the dungeon to gain more experience.

According to the Boldenville family advisor, the Oxwade academy would be conducting regular exams in the dungeon, which is why Felicia needed the experience of exploring the dungeon. Since the Boldenville family's dungeon had already been completed on five floors, Reynolds sent Felicia to the 1st and 2nd-floor dungeons for practice.

"What should I do? Will Lady be okay without me?" said Rachel to Felicia.

"You're noisy, Rachel, since when did I depend on you? You're just my personal maid, and I wouldn't depend on commoners like you. Also, we're only going to explore the first and second floors, so don't worry too much," said Felicia.

'No, Lady. I'm not worried about your safety because Allen will come with you. The problem is, I'm afraid that someone will leak information about Mr. Waldo's situation in my absence.

"Allen, we're leaving soon; what are you doing?! I'm swelter!"

They were currently in front of the house, and since they were only going to the guild, they used an ordinary carriage.

Felicia was wearing armor and dungeon gear; her head was covered by a helmet, and chainmail almost covered her entire body. While Allen was simpler, he only wore a little chainmail on his body and a helmet on his head.

Since it was Felicia's first time wearing armor, she felt hot and sweaty just from standing.

"I'll just walk," said Allen, sitting quite far away from their position.

"Huh? There's no way I'm going to let you do that! Hurry up and get on! We talked about this yesterday, right?" Felicia shouted.

Allen let out a long sigh and then reluctantly sat inside the carriage next to Felicia.

"Wait, why do you sit beside me this close?" protested Felicia.

"I can't help it; I don't want to be near her; move if you don't want to."

The person Allen was referring to sat at the front of the carriage. Because Allen wanted to avoid her, he sat near Felicia to force her to move from there.

"What kind of knight would do something like this to his master!" protested Felicia angrily.

They weren't traveling alone, Reynold had asked for two people to watch over the two of them, but now only three were on the train.

And the third person was the person Allen least wanted to see, Lavinia Merden.

Allen made his voice heard by everyone, so Lavinia could listen to how much Allen disliked her. And Lavinia's reaction was just quiet while reading a book, trying not to think about what Allen said.

'What's the matter between Allen and Miss Lavinia?' Felicia thought.

Rachel then gave Lavinia a bag of potions, and they set off.

Before entering the dungeon, they had to get permission to enter it at the explorer's guild in the southeast, located a few kilometers from the dungeon.

Fifteen minutes later, from the Boldenville residence, they reached the Boldenville region explorer's guild.

The Boldenville region's dungeon-explorer's guild was huge. The entrance of the explorer's guild was 5 meters high and 3 meters wide, open from morning to night. All sorts of people went in and out of that door, and most of their clothes were filthy with blood.

Inside was very spacious, like a soccer field filled with people. There were a few tables with seven chairs on the right and left of the chamber, while the center was filled with people queuing in front of the receptionist.

There were five receptionists serving the explorers. Each of them had their own duties. Lavinia went to one of the rows of receptionists that had no line.

"Welcome to Boldenville Guild Explorer. Would you like to register?" the receptionist asked.

All the receptionists had clothes that looked the same. They wore white long-sleeve shirts that were a little tight, then green skirts that were tied from below the chest to below the knee. The men wore plain white shirts with dark green pants.

Lavinia handed the receptionist a letter and said,

"This is a letter from Lord Boldenville; these two children will enter the 1st and 2nd floor dungeons under my supervision, and one more person is yet to come."

"And you are?"

Lavinia took out a dark green metal plate.

"Miss Lavinia Merden, huh? Where is the other supervisor?"

"Sorry, he hasn't arrived yet. We'll meet him as soon as we get to the dungeon, but he's also palladium-ranked just like me."

"Since it's a request from Lord Boldenville, it should be fine; please wait a moment; I'll give this letter to the guild manager," the receptionist said as she entered the room behind her."

It seemed like it would take a while, so Lavinia asked Felicia to sit in the chair to wait for her.

"Aaaah! How long do I have to wait?!" protested Felicia as she took off her helmet and placed it on the table.

"That woman said it would only take a minute," Allen replied.

"It's not just that! After we're done, we still have to wait for Wulfgeat here."

"Wufgeat?"

"Don't you remember? He's the father's personal knight that you beat in that duel."

"Ooh, that guy. Why are there always so many annoying people around me? Anyway, why are we being watched by these two? I'm enough on my own."

"There are so many things we can't predict in the dungeon. So even if you're stronger than someone of palladium-rank, there's no guarantee you'll survive. We need experienced people to enter."

"How inconvenient,"

Although Allen disliked going with Felicia into the dungeon, he was a little interested in dungeons. He wanted to know what an actual dungeon was and whether the dungeons elsewhere were the same as his home. He liked the dungeon but felt unlucky to have to explore the dungeon with Lavinia and Wulfgeat, the two figures she hated the most in that residence.

"EXCUSE ME!"

Suddenly someone made a loud noise from the entrance. Everyone immediately looked toward the door.

"Can someone lend me a horse?!" he shouted again.

One of the receptionists came out of her post and approached the man.

"Hey, look..."

"Isn't he one of the knights of rounds?"

"What is he doing in the Boldenville region?"

Everyone knew him. He was one of the most famous knights of rounds. The reason was because of his arbitrary behavior, then because of his black hair.

"Sir, I will discuss it with the guild master first; please wait at the table for a moment," said the receptionist who approached him.

The man then held the receptionist's chin and brought her face closer.

"Oh really? Is it alright, if I wait while having a drink with you, Lady?" the man teased.

"I'm sorry, I'm still working... but if it's after work... I'd love to," said the receptionist, who blushed at the invitation.

"Hmm... I'll leave tomorrow then. I'll stay in the city tonight."

The receptionist bowed her head and ran to the room at the back.

Since people were looking at him, he looked back at the others, but they immediately averted their faces, pretending not to see anything.

As the man looked around to find a seat, his eyes fell on something he was interested in.

That was Allen, a black-haired boy sitting with a girl.

"Allen, that guy is looking this way!" whispered Felicia.

"Huh? Why?"

"I don't know."

The man then walked over to Allen and grabbed Allen's shoulders.

​ "Hey man," he said to Allen.

"Allen, do you know him?" asked Felicia.

Allen looked at that man and said,

"I don't know you."

For some reason, the man laughed.

"HAHA, of course not! I called you because we're the same."

"What does that mean?"

"Your hair! You're an other-worlder, too, right?"

The man extended his hand to shake Allen's.

Because of the atmosphere and the people looking at them, Allen was forced to accept the man's handshake.

"My name is Birawa Budiono; in our world, I'm from Indonesia; I was transferred to this world when I was about to die; what about you?"

'Indo-what? What is he talking about?'

"Oh, I know, you don't want to spread your information, huh? I understand that; maybe you're from America? Or Japan? In my country, the crime rate is low, so people easily give their information to each other; even people's personal information can be easily accessed on online sites.

But wait! Let me guess, are you from China? Or Arab? From your appearance, did you come to this world through reincarnation? That's a very rare case, but it could happen. How old are you in that world?"

'This guy talks a lot; I don't understand what he's talking about either,' Allen thought.

"No, I don't understand what you're talking about, can you leave me alone?" Allen said to Birawa.

"Aah, sorry, you don't like being talked to, huh? I'm sorry, I like to meet other other-worlders because not too many have come to this world, so I want to chat about that world. I miss our world.

"Indeed, I don't like being talked to, but the main reason is that I don't remember about myself in the other world, so I literally don't understand everything you just said."

Previously, Allen had talked about this with Isabelle. Because of her predominantly black hair, Isabelle asked Allen to pretend to be an Other-worlder so as not to arouse deeper suspicion. The setting is Allen had forgotten his memory in another world.

"Amnesia, huh? HAHAHA you lied in the most mainstream way, did you? It's okay; you don't need to explain further. Just meeting other other-worlder makes me happy."

'He doesn't believe it...'

Birawa then looked at Felicia, which made Felicia shudder.

"A-a-what's troubling you, Mr Knight?" Felicia said, smiling.

After staring at Felicia for a while, Birawa patted Allen on the back.

"So pretty... She's so pretty! Hey, you have a beautiful heroine, man! In 10 years, I'm sure she'll be even more beautiful,"

"Stop doing that!" said Allen while removing Birawa's hand from his back.

"I also have my heroine. Unfortunately, she seems to hate me. Do you want to know who she is?"

"No, I don't want to know."

"She is the leader of the knight of rounds; she is gorgeous and strong! I became a knight of rounds because she was the one who picked me up when I had just gotten into this world. And we will meet after a long time in the capital. I can't wait to see her again."

'I told you I don't want to know; what's wrong with this guy? He's on my list of people I dislike the most.'

"Yes, I pray that you can win your heroine, Mr. Nameless," he continued as he punched Allen's back once again, but Allen swatted it away with his right hand.

"Hahaha, good reflexes, as expected from an other-worlder."

After that, Lavinia came, and they immediately left from there.

'"See you later, Allen. I have a feeling we'll see each other soon."
