Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character

23 – #23. Ant cave! (7)

Once a wealthy count family.

However, due to the death of the head of the family due to illness a few years ago, Hedy’s family collapsed in an instant.

The money saved was largely used to continue the treatment of the family head.

The royal advisors took advantage of the opportunity to steal the business that the head of the family was carrying out.

For the family, every day was like hell.

But Hedy didn’t care.

In the first place, it had been a long time since the family had cut off ties in their hearts.

‘No matter what happens to my family….’

I have been discriminated against.

Just because he is a man, his parents have always given endless love to their younger brother and second son, ‘Rohan Marigold.’

Because he only had one face, he was raised by another family for marriage purposes.

I had to have a tutor teach me how to dance even when my foot was sprained because I had to look good at social gatherings.

Studying etiquette together every day, how to attract a man, etc.

Without any time to wonder what that damn man is, she has constantly instilled it in her head.

Of course, there was not the slightest freedom. It was natural that he couldn’t play when he wanted to.

Even during break time, they gave us several thick books and told us to memorize them all for social studies.

‘It would be much better for that sh*tty family to fail.’

My family was ruined and I had to use the Adventurer’s Guild to make money.

I was much happier.

I liked the freedom I felt for the first time, free from men.

Boys who are interested in their appearance, but then criticize them harshly and often fight with them under the pretext of revenge.

Even that was refreshing as I beat him up with the combat skills I learned while working as an adventurer.

He also enjoyed practicing swordsmanship, which he loved, by swinging it in real combat.

At home, if you held a sword, you were brutally treated.

Perhaps it was repulsion, but he felt it at that time.

He wants to become a sword master.

Your parents will not give you the life you want. He didn’t want to be like a woman who got married carelessly.

He thought he wanted to become a sword master, obtain a high position, and prove that a woman could live well on her own.

With that promise in mind, this time, as usual, I went through on-site training at the academy to earn money.

I was on my way to the ant cave to catch the requested bat demon beast with the women I often party with at the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Huh? What is this? “It’s a magic stone?”

The incident started when one of the female party members touched the magic stone attached to the wall.

As soon as he touched the magic stone, a transfer magic circle was activated along with a tremendous vibration, and he was transported somewhere.

The space that was moved seemed to be a labyrinth deep underground.

It was an accident.

The demonic beast I encountered while walking around to check on the situation was also formidable.

After playing against him, the estimated rank is B or higher.

When she thought that it would be too much to kill the demon beasts one by one and avoided them, Hedy felt something strange about her.

This was because she saw a goblin among the group of demon beasts she was hiding in.

They are definitely creatures that should be in the forest.

The goblins were even accompanied by a different type of monster, the Big Spider.

When different types of demonic beasts invade each other’s territory, they fight until one of them dies. But they didn’t.

‘… ‘What is going on?’

So she decided to track it down.

I thought that if I followed their movements, I would definitely find a clue to this labyrinth.

I planned to find the truth about transfer magic and report what happened in this labyrinth to the Adventurer’s Guild.

Just like that, I was chasing a group of Big Spiders for hours.

“The bully leader… ? “Why are you here?”

I was embarrassed.

I met someone. That too is one-faced.

He was also someone I thought could not be here.

Jet-black hair and golden eyes.

After beating up a group of bullies who were picking on him at the academy, I happened to meet the bully leader… A person who was presumed to be.

I couldn’t understand why he was in this labyrinth.

He must have been surprised, too, as he paused and then opened his mouth at a late moment.

“… I’m not a bully captain. I said it had nothing to do with the crowd at that time. “I told you that then too.”

What does that matter?

He was frustrated because he felt like he would miss the group of Big Spiders if he was wasting time.

So Hedy asked him back in a slightly impatient tone.

“No, what does that matter now? “Why are you here?”

“If I were to explain it, it would be long. After completing the subjugation of the demon beast, one of the party members touched the magic stone with the transfer magic… “Thanks to him, this happened.”

You finished subjugating the demonic beasts?

So you’re an adventurer? He?

… This kid who looks at most his age?

Hedy was puzzled.

Although he himself is an adventurer and goes out to subdue demonic beasts, he thought that there would be no one his age at the academy.

… After all, there are situations like this and that in the world.

He can attend the academy for free because he is a count who has contributed to the empire, but the rest will pay reasonable tuition.

The family situation may not be good.

Well, it’s okay. The situation is urgent now.

If you wait any longer, a group of Big Spiders will run away.

Hedy said to him.

“Okay, I got it, Captain Rogue. “If you give me advice, it’s dangerous from here on, so I recommend not following you.”

“No, well I’m not the leader of the bullies…” .”

Hedy entered the cave entrance before he finished speaking.

‘A group of demonic beasts definitely went this way.’

I ignored him saying something behind me and went straight ahead.

We were in the midst of moving forward like that.

“What? “Why are you following me?”

The bully leader was following behind.

“I’m not following you.”

“Then what is it?”

“I was on my way this way too.”

You’re not following me?

It seems like everyone is following him.

What advice did you get earlier? How stupid do you have to be to follow yourself?

Are you mistakenly thinking that you know the route to escape the labyrinth?

“For your information, I don’t know how to escape.”

“Okay, I understand.”

“Did you hear me? “You don’t know how to escape?”

“… ? “I understand.”

“Then why do you keep following me?”

“I’m not following you.”

“…… ?”

You’re saying they’re not really following me?

Does this guy also understand the strange movements of the magical beast?

‘Wait a minute….’

Hedy suddenly remembered something while she was walking.

When I think about it, this bad guy is the leader. Even when he was teaching at the academy, he occasionally made eye contact with me.

‘Maybe this guy too… ?’

The leader of the bullies that Headey was following suddenly became displeased.

Hedy frowned and spoke to the bully leader.

“Hey. No matter how much you follow, I can’t give you what you want. So don’t follow me.”

Then the bully leader frowns his eyebrows and looks puzzled.

“What are you talking about earlier?”

Are you being pretentious?

… It seems like the bully leader doesn’t know how dangerous this situation is.

I thought it was none of Hedy’s business from now on.

Follow me and die or not.

Hedy moved forward, trying not to look at the bully leader.

“Hmm.”

“…… ?”

But even though he tried not to care, his behavior bothered me.

This guy… Something is strange.

Although he is already walking through such a dangerous labyrinth, he looks somewhat relaxed.

Is it because of my mood, or am I not aware of how dangerous this place is because I have never encountered the demonic beasts of this labyrinth?

I kept going, swallowing those doubts, until I reached a cave that the demonic beasts had passed by.

‘…… !’

Suddenly, a rotten smell stung his nose.

It was an incredible odor that I had never smelled in my life.

“Ugh… What kind of smell is this… !”

Hedy takes a step back.

But for some reason, the bully leader continued walking toward the cave.

‘What, what? Doesn’t he smell?

Hedy also approached the cave, covering his nose.

And I looked inside the entrance.

“…… !”

It was shocking.

Inside the entrance….

There were a large number of corpses.

Bodies that all appear to be human. Hundreds of corpses were piled up, lying horribly strewn about.

Decomposing corpses with their necks turned or holes in their stomachs.

Some appeared to be beginning to rot.

“What is this…?” .”

“… “That’s strange.”

The bully leader steps in front of the corpse.

And then he began to look at the corpses, observing something carefully.

Hedy, puzzled, also saw the body.

And.

“Wow… !”

I’m surprised.

I saw familiar clothes sticking out of the corpse, so I tried to look up.

The face I took out from within the pile of corpses. It was a face she recognized.

“What is this…?” .”

Eyes looking into space with loss of focus.

Neck bent 180 degrees and twisted grotesquely,

She was one of the female party members who had transferred to the labyrinth like herself.

The party members couldn’t believe that she was a living creature that had been moving with them just a moment ago, so she was turned into a hideous piece of meat and laid in a pile of her corpse.

“Wow!”

Hedy, shocked, immediately backed away and started to gag.

She then tried to take deep breaths to calm her trembling heart.

“… “Do you know someone?”

“… ….”

He spoke to her with concern at her behavior.

She didn’t even have time to reply to his words.

It was so shocking that Hedy’s pupils trembled.

Her bully leader hinted at her.

“I’m sorry if this is shocking, but it seems a little strange here. Demonic beasts originally hunt humans and eat them… You’re stacking people like this so they can be recognized? “Isn’t it strange?”

“…… ?”

Hearing his words, Hedy covered her mouth as she retched, and she questioned the same thing.

That’s what I heard.

Because demon beasts are not intelligent, they have no concept of storage.

But you are intentionally piling up food like this?

I think I saw more than a dozen or hundreds of demonic beasts in the cave labyrinth… Why do you have to do this?

It was when she had such doubts.

-Kugugugugugugu….

Suddenly the earth shook.

Due to the vibration, stone debris falls one by one from the cave wall.

‘Wow, suddenly there was an earthquake…’ !’

That was when Hedy, squatting like that, was playing near the entrance.

“… Ugh?!”

Suddenly, the bully leader rushed at Hedy, causing her to fall backwards.

His face was pressed against my stomach, and his hands were wrapped around my back.

“What are you doing?! After all, you… !”

“Shhh!”

“…… ?”

Her suddenly serious expression silences her.

Then he pointed to the outside where she was just before entering.

“…… !”

As soon as Hedy, who was confused, looked outside where he pointed, she was surprised again.

There was a living creature.

It couldn’t be compared to the Big Spider or Goblin that I had seen before.

It has the shape of a spider, but its black body is over 10 meters long.

Eight huge legs and a huge, sharp pincer mouth that looks like it will kill you instantly if bitten.

… Top rank B? No, Hedy thought, it was probably A rank or higher.

In proportion to its seemingly intimidating body, it gave off an intimidating feeling that most adventurers could not match.

The man next to me, holding his breath, mutters.

“Twilight Queen… ?”

The queen of spiders was facing the rest of the spiders outside the entrance.
