635 Worrying, When You Worry, If You Worry
I thought to myself as I kept walking straight ahead. Did I make the best choice here.
I tried recalling what I did one by one.
Asking someone to do maintenance work on my katana isn't unreasonable. Neither is me agreeing to give my opinions to Makiru.
It's what came after that. The disciple guy broke the news about this state of emergency and then, I rushed to the scene instead of running away.
Did I really have to do that? Was that the best choice to make back then?
"Dunno what that gang of skeletons were planning to do but they were carrying weapons and all, they must be dungeon-borne monsters. Getting rid of them all up in one spot instead of having to look for them after they're scattered everywhere can't be a mistake."
Dongoro said it too. A similar incident happened around a hundred year ago which caused a lot of casualty.
Logically speaking, things wouldn't have gone differently this time around either so me springing into action must have minimized the amount of victim. The heap of white bones at that place is the end result.
I bet the soldiers who have been dispatched to that place are at their wit's end trying to figure out what happened.
They surely would have engaged those skeletons in battle if it weren't for me.
"I didn't do anything wrong, did I? Yup. I really, didn't."
But what about after that? What will become of me here locked in a dungeon?

"I can't use carelessness as an excuse. Besides, I willfully poked my nose where it doesn't belong. Most people absolutely won't choose going in. I should have stayed around the entrance and made sure no more monsters come out instead."
I shouldn't have gone in this dungeon out of curiosity, haphazardly into the depth at that.
'It's just a straight road ahead. I could just use Acceleration if anything seems amiss', that thought led me to this stupid blunder.
"But still, who could have thought the exit would be blocked off and the insides would get turned upside down into a maze."
I proceeded through the corridor while grumbling. I haven't come across a single trap so far. I'm just keeping on keeping straight ahead.
To the right or straight? Straight of course.
To the left or straight? Straight of course.
And then I hit a standstill. A T junction.
Ahead of me is a wall, the only paths forward are to the left or right.
"Should I put an end here... Or not? Hmm, I'm not exactly obliged to play along with this dungeon, am I?"
If dungeons are left alone, the monsters produced inside will eventually break out and flood the surface.
It's adventurers' job to prevent or minimize damage from that by deleting these dungeons.
I'm not an adventurer. But I can't just leave this be either.
It's just, this particular dungeon feels more manmade than a naturally occurring one.
"I mean the sudden shift into a maze stinks real bad. Guess I'd better take care of it before anyone falls victim. I mean I've come all this way."
Ha~, I let out a sigh before pulling myself together.
Nobody will help me clearing this dungeon even in this situation. The entrance's been sealed off.
I should be the only human in this dungeon. I don't think there's anybody else. Neither will there be more coming later.
"That sudden turn of event can't be a coincidence. The so called dungeon master... is probably around."
Screwing with me, I'm getting more and more annoyed inwardly.
"This dungeon is nothing but trouble anyway. Seeing as this dungeon master sent hostile weapon-brandishing skeletons out, they can't be decent, can they? Methink there's no real need to hold back."
I clenched my fist before my chest.
