Is It Wrong To Get Love In The Dungeon?

Chapter 21 - The 67th Floor

Not much happened after watching Bell fighting the red minotaur, the only difference is that everyone is more fired-up than before. Even though Tiona and Ais said it's nothing compared to what Alan do but they still get motivated. Alan also feeling motivated since he still hasn't found his equal.

Being motivated Alan sometimes missing from the expedition toward the 50th floor to kill more monsters than usual just to reappear when people start to notice that the monsters are decreasing. Alan also asks for a solo for the fighting Dungeon Rex Balor.

Finn accepts but couldn't help but worry so he demands to aid him if the situation calls for it but after leveling up. Alan becomes much faster and stronger which makes it easier for him to solo Balor.

Finally, they arrive on the 50th floor which is a safe area. The expedition below the 50th floor will start the day after. So the members all open a tent to take a rest for the day while Alan invited to enter the executive tent to discuss tomorrow's plan.

"We need to scout the floor below. Tomorrow we will send a scout with our party, Lefiya and Raul will be our support while Tsubaki also comes to help the maintenance of our weapons. Any suggestions?" Finn said, and hearing no suggestion Finn go outside to tell the other about the plan.

Alan doing what Alan usually do, sneak around to go to the lower floor. He equips his armor and weapon to sneak away but caught Lefiya's attention which finding place to calm her self. "Ehmm..... This is awkward. Hello Lefiya... Well if you go back please don't mention anything about me." Alan said while waving his hand before he turns around but only done a few steps before he is stopped by Tiona, "Alan-kun. Mind if I take a bit of your time?"

Not long after Tiona said that Tione shows up. "Lefiya, are you worried about something?" then Tione realizes another person is there. "Hmm? Alan? Tiona? what are you guys doing here?".

"Emm... We just want to talk about something. Right, Tiona?" Alan said to Tiona. "Yes, We just want to talk about something," Tiona adds to assure Tione.

"Then, we will patrol around while talking. See ya." Alan said, grab Tiona's hand and start running. Running around the woods for a while they found an open space. "So, What do you want to talk about? Tiona."

"Alan..., How do you know that I like hero story?" Tiona asks Alan. Alan hearing this turn his head toward Tiona "Sorry, I can't tell you. I just know about it. Let's just say I have my own information."

"Then... I have been thinking about what you said, I think I have found my answer. Alan, It's not like I lack conviction right? If you know me, You must have known that my conviction to marry a hero is not lacking at all.... I have to kill a kid in my generation or older or maybe younger. At first, I thought it was normal, but deep down I know it's wrong. They have a life, like me, Like any other person, but to keep my life I have to do it. That's when I found the hero story, my trainer read it for me. The thing about a hero is what saves me from the brutality of the killing. So, you must know that it's not about my conviction but the way I picture a hero in my life. I'm only thinking that I want to marry a hero but that's not what I need, I don't need the hero in the story. What I need is my own hero. Yes, Not the one in the story from the book but a hero for my own story. So, Alan, Will you be my hero? I know it's sound too sudden, but I have been thinking th..." Seeing Tiona keep rumbling on, Alan smile at Tiona. "Yes, I will. You don't have to convince me anymore. I will be your hero in your own story." hearing Alan interrupts her made Tiona look at his smiling face. Hearing this Tiona smile and hug him

"Thank you, Alan. No, Thank you, my Hero." Tiona said while tear is forming on her eye. "Stop crying okay, now it's late. Go back to your camp." Alan said while lifting her chin so her face can face him. He kisses her on the forehead and turns to head to the dungeon floor below.

Not known to him, Tione is around observing His interaction with Tiona. After Alan left Tione approach Tiona "He's weird." Hearing someone behind her back Tiona startled. "Tione? Since when? Where's Lefiya?" Tiona asks Tione.

"I already take her to her tent after talking to her. I've been here when you said 'Will you be my Hero?' Hehehehe...." Tione teases Tiona. "Moouu~ Tione, At least I have progressed with Alan when you still have no progress with Captain. Let's go back to the camp. I can sleep soundly like this." Tiona response to her tease.

"Are you sure you don't want to follow him? Like I said he's weird. He's heading toward another direction than his tent. He supposes to sleep with Captain and we're still on the safe floor why is he wearing armor?" Tione asks while looking toward where Alan is going. Tiona hearing Tione said that forget about that because she's to concentrate on confessing her feeling.

"Tione!! I will take our weapon. He's heading toward the stairs to go down alone!! Follow him and leave a mark for me to follow." Tiona panics because the direction Alan is heading is toward the stairs.

Alan strolls leisurely toward the stairs and goes down to the 52nd floor while killing monsters with his Balmungs or his Vasavi Shakti if the monster is climbing at the roof. He can just retract Vasavi Shakti. Tiona and Tione following him around the corner.

Not long after that Alan reaches the area where a fire pillar is come out from the floor. "Hehehe... Usually, I will take a normal route since more monsters I can kill, but looking at the dragon makes my blood boil so much. Isn't that right Balmungs?" Alan jump toward the hole straight to the 58th floor. Just after Alan jump Tione and Tiona stand right where Alan was.

"Tione, he's jumping toward the hole. We're taking the normal route and ignore the monster straight to the 58th floor." Tiona said while Tione nod at her sister.

Alan is on a rampage when he arrives on the 58th floor. Killing every dragon and wyvern on that floor. "You call yourself dragon when you're this small.. Pathetic....

The Evil Dragon will fall. All will be separated into light and shadow. The world will now reach the twilight.

Fall ― Balmung!"

Alan then walks toward the 59th floor, while Tiona and Tione that follow him searching for him on the 58th floor. "Where is he? Is he going down again? What should we do Tione?" Tiona asks Tione in panic.

"Let's just follow him first, He shouldn't be that far. We will look at the situation and take him back." Tione told Tiona. Tiona seems to agree with Tione and goes down to the 59th floor.

Alan which going toward the 59th floor which is a jungle and keep killing all the plant monster and worm monster. He found the place wherein the anime Ais's party arrives. While there's a plant-eating the worm, there's also a figure coming out of it.

Alan squinted his eyes to look at the figure. "Stop, Who are you? Where's Aria?" The figure said to Alan. Amuse by what he sees, Alan chuckle lightly "Hoo~... Revis??? So you're half-spirit and half-Xenos. It makes me wonder how Dionysus turns you like that."

Revis hearing Alan said that her face darkened "You... How do you know my name... What do you know?" Revis said while pulling out her weapon.

"Relax.. Revis, I will find a way to save you. You just need to hold on for now and do what you usually do, Also tell Ein that I can save her too if she wants to still befriend with Lefiya." Alan said while picking his ear.

"How can I trust you?" Revis ask Alan which Alan said shortly "Because I'm not killing you right now and I also still need you."

Just after Alan said that. Tiona and Tione come out shouting after looking at Alan and Revis. "Alan!!! Move!!!." Tiona and Tione rush toward Revis trying to fight her.

"Tiona??.. Tione??.." Alan seeing both of them mutter but quickly act. Tiona and Tione were about to fight Revis but something shocking for them both happens. The one that blocks their attack is not Revis but Alan himself.

"What are you doing Alan? She's not a member of the expedition and by her characteristic, she's the enemy that fights Ais.." Tione shouts while Tiona still shocked because she still can't get it into her head that Alan blocks her attack for someone.

Revis is about to act too after looking at the situation but stop after receiving a glare from Alan. "Stop it you two... and also you Revis. I know Ein asks you to fight their party tomorrow, I won't participate in it. Just send Olivas too, said that someone strong might destroy your plan. I will handle Olivas for you and Tiona, Tione. What are you two doing down here?" Alan said to the three of them.

"We follow you since you wearing armor and head toward the stairs." Tione answer Alan

After Tione answer Alan, Tiona seems to drop to her knees to the ground "Why?? You're supposed to be my hero. Why are you siding with an enemy and block my attack??" Tiona cry and feels betrayed.

Alan sigh and walk toward Tiona "Relax Tiona, She's not an enemy." While wiping her tears.

Tiona stops crying and looks at Alan. "But she fights Ais and Lefiya.."

Alan assures Tiona "That's because someone is holding her life. She's supposed to be the friend of Ais's mother. Isn't that right Revis??"

Revis hearing Alan said that seems irritated "Tch.. No, I'm not her friend. She's too clingy."

"Alright.. alright.. So, do we have a deal for tomorrow? And can you hit her softer?" Alan said while pointing at Tiona.

"Haaa!? Why only her? What about me??" Tione shouts at Alan. "Because she's soon to be my wife after all. Right??" Alan said while patting Tiona's head.

Tiona hearing it lifts her hand and looks at Alan. She nods and stands up to hug Alan "Yes!!".

Alan turns his head back toward Revis "Okay, I will just pass by now. See you again tomorrow Revis." He waves at Revis.

Alan, Tiona, and Tione back inside the jungle. Alan looks at them and breaks the silence "So, What are you girls doing following me? Do you know it can be dangerous if a strong monster blocking you?"

"Hmph.. if Tiona not worried about you, I won't be here." Tione answers while Tiona still smiles happily hearing Alan "I'm worried about you."

"Hah~ So do you girls gonna go back to the camp or follow me for a stroll down?" Alan said to them.

Tione hears Alan said going down look at him as if he's crazy. While Tiona now trusts him and said "I will follow you.". Hearing Tiona follows Alan no way she's going back alone "Fine, we will follow you down."

They start going down while Alan killing all the monster he seen. Until they arrive at a big space dungeon on the 67th floor.

The floor is still like a jungle but in the middle of the floor is a giant wide open space with nothing on it.

"Tiona, Tione whatever happen don't come close to me. This is my adventure." Alan said while smiling.

Alan walks toward the middle while a rustling sound can be heard from his front. The tree all tumbling down and there stood a long snake.

"Never would I guess... a Basilisk. Let's fight." Alan charges at the Basilisk while keep dodging the tail. Basilisk eye starts shining, Alan quickly shouts "TIONA, TIONE CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!" Alan also shut his eyes but not being able to see, he got hit by Basilisk's tail. "Aarrgghh!!!".

Hearing Alan being hit Tiona wants to open her eyes. "DON'T OPEN YOUR EYES!!" Alan shout again. Once again Alan got hit by the tail and flew toward the jungle area.

Alan opens his eyes looking down. "Never would have I thought using this. Let's see where should your eyes be." Alan predict where the eye of the Basilisk should be and bring out Tauropolos

"Uuuggghh... I really don't want to use this. Let's just imagine this is Nasuverse.

With my bow and arrows, I respectfully ask for the divine protection of the sun god Apollo and the moon goddess Artemis.

I offer thee this calamity — Phoebus Catastrophe!"

The arrow starts to appear as a shining arrow and flew toward the Basilisk. One arrow quickly divides into thousands of arrows. Some penetrate Basilisk's eyes since Basilisk keeps his eyes open to keep using petrify gaze.

Alan put back the bow after the yellow glow is stopped shining from the Basilisk's eyes. The Basilisk is blind but can still see from body heats like a snake. "Now, Let's resume our fight."

Tiona and Tione hear the explosion sound and feel that around them turning dark again open their eyes and see Alan already charging at the Basilisk again.

Basilisk also charges at Alan and attempt to bite him. Alan quickly rolls to evade the bite and use Balmung to stab below Basilisk's mouth.

"Dragon swallowing Moon" Alan stab his sword toward the Basilisk and make holes.

Feeling hurt, Basilisk lift it's head and pointing upward. Balmung still inside the Basilisk also being lifted together with Alan. Alan flew up by Basilisk swing. Below him, the Basilisk is opening its mouth.

"Hehehe.... Let's see how you handle this. FIREBOLT!!!" Alan shout while his hand aimed toward the Basilisk's mouth

Different from Bell's Firebolt, Alan's Firebolt is massive like a sun being delivered toward the Basilisk. Firebolt goes inside the mouth and explode.

Because of the momentum from Firebolt, Alan's position shifts a bit. Falling down beside the Basilisk, while Basilisk still stunned by the damage done by Firebolt.

"Dragon swallowing the Crescent Moon"

Alan slashes the basilisk from top to the bottom, cutting open the Basilisk.

Basilisk's dead and turns to black dust while leaving its massive teeth.

"Haaah~ That's really tiring." Alan drops to sit on the ground. Tiona already running toward him, while Tione still froze looking at the battle.

"Alan!!! You won!!!" Tiona shouts and pounces at Alan to hug him. Alan getting pounced lay on the ground while hugging Tiona back. "Of course I will win. Who do you think am I? Let's go back. We still have more time to sleep. Going back without killing should only take 20 minutes. I still remember where the stairs are."

Alan and Tiona get back up. Tiona shouts at Tione "Tione!!! Let's go back!!!". Tione wakes up from her daze and quickly follows them.

Back at the camp, Alan sends both of them back to their tent. While Alan which suppose to sleep with Finn and Gareth, he opens a new tent which he buys from the system.

At Tiona and Tione's tent, both of them still chat. "Tiona, Do you think Alan is stronger than Captain?" Tione ask. Tiona answers cheerfully "Of course he is. He's my soon-to-be husband after all. I will also get stronger to be with him." Tiona said and sleep while Tione still thinking about today.
