Level 99 Villainous Daughter
chapter-16

「It’s time to enjoy and have fun levelling up! 」

「Nooooooooooooo . 」

Alicia Enlight-sama, thank you for flying with Ryuu Airlines today . This flight will take you to the dark dungeon in the Count Dolknes’ territory .

I enjoy playing make-believe as the cabin attendant in my mind as if he can feel my excitement, and he does somersaults .

Alicia seems very satisfied with the special service from Ryuu . It’s unbelievable how silent she is after making such a fuss about it .

Initially, I wished to leave the Demon King to Alicia since I’m trying not to stand out . I’m pretty much giving up on achieving that goal, but I wonder if it’s okay if I went wild to defeat the Demon King .

However, there’s a possibility of the game hidden condition where the Demon King can’t be defeated unless using her light magic . That’s why it’s urgent to raise Alicia’s level .

After the Principal gave me the green light to go ahead, I decided to take Alicia to the Dark Dungeon . It’s the dungeon that I used to visit .

The four major attributes like fire and water aren’t very popular since they’re weak against dark attribute . But for Alicia, who has light attributes, this dungeon is advantageous for her because the dark is weak against light attribute .

「Ryuu, please get down over there . Alicia-san, we are about to arrive… Eh? Alicia-san, are you alive? 」

When the destination was in sight, Ryuu did as I said and roar to show he understood . Alicia seemed to have fainted before I knew it .

Since we also have Alicia onboard, I thanked Ryuu, who landed more gently than usual .

「Thank you, Ryuu . You can play until I call you . Don’t go near human settlement, okay? 」

When I carried Alicia down, Ryuu still didn’t leave his spot . He ended up lying down surrounding my body .

「I’m sorry, you can’t follow us into the dungeon . I will play with you tomorrow, okay? 」

After some persuasion, Ryuu reluctantly moves his tail to open the way .

「What a good boy . 」

Ryuu is an independent child, but right now, he seemed to be feeling spoiled . I’ll take care of him tomorrow .

「Eh? Where is this place? 」

「Have you finally awakened? We are in the dungeon . 」

I was already in the dungeon and lowering Alicia to the ground . Efficiency is the best way to level up . There is no time to waste .

「Yumiela-san? Oh, I was kidnapped… 」

「Kidnapped is an ugly word, wasn’t the Principal already explained it to you? 」

Alicia was summoned by the Principal to talk about something and explained the matter .

She’s scared by herself, but it was fine if she’s with other capture targets, and then I forced her to come with me . They didn’t participate in a battle with me so I can’t listen to their demands .

「Let me go! Are you going to do something to me?! 」

Alicia’s scream echoes through the dungeon . Oh, she might be good at screaming in the dungeon .

「I won’t do anything, but the group coming over there might do something . 」

As I pointed behind her back, she seems to realize the situation she’s in . The monster gathered as a reaction to her voice .

「He-help me! 」

「It’s okay . I’ll save you before you die . My recovery magic skill is good enough, and I can grow an arm . 」

I tried to reassure her when she panicked since it won’t change anything .

But frantic Alicia begins to cast magic randomly at the empty space .

「Noooooooooooooo . 」

Oh, the bat-shaped monster that first approached was hit by a light magic ball . Hmm, there’s a lot of pointless moves but since the dungeon’s passage is narrow, the barrage tactic is working .

In the end, all the monsters gathered was defeated .

「D-did I survive? Can we go home now? 」

「Let’s go to the second level . 」

Since light attribute is advantageous in this dungeon, even someone with a low level will be able to go to the deeper levels . This is only the beginning, and there’s still a long way to go since this dungeon has fifty levels .

「No, please leave me alone! I can’t do this anymore . 」

「That’s because you didn’t raise your level, didn’t you wanted to defeat the Demon King? 」

「Yes, I have to do something with my light magic . 」

「……Why don’t we leave the argument whether I’m the Demon King or not, and you just practice defeating the Demon King by killing these monsters? 」

「Ed-kun and the other guys said they’d protect me… 」

Alicia’s words were gradually getting weaker . As usual, I can’t say that I understand her, but I seem to understand that she has a problem .

「I will probably be fine . Hey, let’s keep going . 」

「I don’t have any more magic power… 」

「No problem, I brought mana recovery potion . 」

I never drink anything when my mana is low, mana recovery potion tastes horrible . But if it was essential to raise the level, I would have gulped it .

「I… I don’t like it… 」

‘C’mon, I gave you a sword, and you can do something with your physical attack… 」

Alicia seems to give up . She drinks the potion with tears in her eyes .

As expected of the game’s main protagonist, she could fight . Her magic control was gradually getting better as well .

While defeating the monsters, she keeps muttering how she didn’t want to die . I remember the old days when it looks like a battle robot and become nostalgic . I think it’s wasteful to let an amazing talent like this passed away because of some good-looking guy superiority complex to protect you .

「Oh, you finished it . Let’s move to the fifth floor . 」

「I don’t want to die… Right, I will kill Yumiela . 」

Alicia suddenly turned after muttered disturbing things, casts light magic towards me .

I played the ball of light with my hand . It didn’t even hurt or itch . Even though light magic is my weakness, our high-level difference made me hard to feel it .

「Ahh… I’m sorry, please forgive me . 」

She keeps incoherently muttered apology; her emotion seems unstable . She should have thought it through and not overdo it .

That day we were able to go up to seven levels . Not bad for a first-timer though .

Alicia never made another complaint, and she’s following my instruction to move well . Before and after entering the dungeon, she becomes a different person, and I’m happy that she doesn’t seem to get injured .

「You okay? 」

「Fufufu, if I kill a monster, I will live . If I kill a monster, I can live . 」

Uwa—a… I knew it, Patrick will get angry again .

The capture targets will also make a fuss . Isn’t Alicia’s mentality too weak to go this far?

The next day .

「As I thought Yumiela-san is a bad person! Right now, you are playing tricks on me, I won’t be fooled! 」

Alicia back to her usual self in a night . Perhaps saying she has a weak mentality is a mistake .

「Please from now on don’t skip raising your level . After this, we will go down to the dungeon again . 」

「Uh . 」

She let out a short scream before running away . Yesterday seems traumatic for her .

From that day, Alicia seemed to have started raising her level like mad . She was the ultimate weapon in the battle against the Demon Lord, and I did a good thing… Or so I thought .
