The Case Where I Got into an All Girls-only Party via Cross-Dressing. But When They Found Out About it, Instead of Getting Immediately Kicked Out, Everyone Was Trying to Seduce Me.

Chapter 15

While carrying the injured Elise on my back, I hear a voice crying out in distress as we head towards the 4th floor. Did something happened to them after all? Was leaving those to our two two rear party attackers wasn’t enough. If only I had defeated the boss sooner…

While engulfed in regret, I still held onto the hope that maybe they were still alive. I wanted it to be true. The fact that they were crying out must meant that there were still humans alive. For, it can just be a trick by those monsters, imitate such expressions as well.

“Eleeeese! Ariaaaaann—!”

It’s Mea’s crying voice. That means, those girls are still alive.

I increased my speed to climb up the stairs, not only to have Elise recover but also to quickly reassure them.

The 4th floor’s floor had become visible. It seems like the same spot where we both fell down from the that dungeon level.

I see the two girls sitting and hugging each other’s shoulders, looking at the hole we fell into. They’re peering down almost as if they’re about to fall themselves.

“It’s alright, Elise will definitely, surely come back safely…”

Mirai, who is stroking Mea’s back, was also crying. Since I was tired from carrying Elise and trying to get here as fast as possible, climbing the stairs, I decided to approach them slowly.

In front of them lay the corpse of those goblins, with traces that doesn’t even resemble monster like goblin form, nor the corpse of a goblin who had shapeshifted itself into a humanoid monster

The person whose face was covered by Mea clothing was probably also an adventurer. I hope they feel even a little better knowing that their faces will not be exposed to the world after their death. I guess she thought it was the least a fellow adventurer like us can do to make amends for their own loss of life.

I experienced the deaths of many people from since I was a child. After all, I was present witnessing many of their deaths in front of my eyes, and still stood up. I can’t bother about every single one’s feelings separately, or so I used to think like back then. But since I had a party member, things have changed in me little by little.

Even though I don’t do it personally, but if someone wants to mourn for their deaths, I won’t stop them for doing so. It’s normal for people to mourn the death of others after all. Maybe.

“I’m back. Mea, Mirai. I’m back safe and sound.”

I called out to the girls from behind, who were both cowering down the pit hole. Perhaps my voice have relaxed them, for Mea, who was originally sobbing is now accompanied by Mirai, who started sobbing immediately. They came rushing towards me.

“‘Uwooohhhh! Ariannnu.”

”Wa—, wait, wait. Before that, please heal Elise fast. She became like this while protecting me.”

Saying that, when I put down Elise to the ground, Mea and Mirai reached Elise in a sync. Mirai held her hand as if she was worried about her, while Mirai said, “I’m going to cast a recovery spell on her immediately,” and began to cast the spell.

After meeting them, I also started to feel the limits of my own physical strength approaching. In the presence of these two, thus, in their presence, I sat down on the ground as well. I felt the stiffness of my strength escaping to the ground.

“Just wait a minute okay, I know Ariane has also sustained a lot of damage as well, just not visible to our eyes. Please take your time and relax for a while. Mea, please watch the surroundings in the meantime. If any monster appear, feel free to put them immediately. When returning, I will have this recovered Ariann work her best. So please take a good rest right now. After all, you gave your best.”

Saying that, Mirai gently patted my head lightly. I gradually lost consciousness. The boss had been defeated, so there was no cause for the monsters to increase in numbers. I felt relieved by just knowing that. I let go of my consciousness slowly, resting my head on Mirai’s soft thigh.
