Chapter 393 Are My Eyes Deceiving Me?

?Just as Ethan thought that Nicole would ask them to fight the Goblin King, the young lady decided to call it a day and rest.

She asked everyone to move to one of the corners of the floor so that they wouldn’t get in the way of those who wished to challenge the Boss Monster.

They met some people along the way, but aside from a casual nod, none of them talked to each other and just minded their own business.

Nicole then cooked a simple meal, even sharing the food with Lady Johanna, which the latter gratefully accepted.

After they were finished eating, Nicole told her two comrades the strategy they would use to beat the Goblin King after they’d gotten a proper rest.

“According to the information I gathered, we will be facing a Goblin King, as well as his twelve Hobgoblin Subordinates,” Nicole explained. “Eight of them are Hobgoblin Fighters, and four of them are Hobgoblin Archers. It’s a challenge for a group of three to clear it, so here is our strategy.”

Ethan and Samantha waited for Nicole to tell them the rest of their strategy.

“Ethan, you will protect Samantha at all costs,” Nicole stated. “I will fight against the Goblin King and his lackeys.”

“Okay,” Ethan replied in a heartbeat.

“That’s it?” Samantha blinked in confusion. “Ethan protects me, and you will fight them alone? What kind of plan is this?”

“Don’t worry.” Nicole gave the young lady a devilish smile. “This is just a warm-up for me. You just focus on staying alive, okay?”

“Yes, My Lady,” Samantha replied with sarcasm and even made a curtsy towards Nicole, making Ethan chuckle. “I will do as you say and keep myself alive.”

After a little more playful banter, the group finally decided to rest.

Nicole was about to assign the rotation for the night watch so that everyone could rest properly. However, Ethan told her that there was no need for that.

“I have a way to know if there is danger in the surroundings,” Ethan explained. “So let’s all just sleep and not worry about the night watch.”

“Are you sure?” Nicole frowned. “Ethan, it’s not only the Monsters that spawn in the Dungeon that we must pay attention to.”

“I know,” Ethan replied. “Don’t worry. No monsters or Humans will be able to touch your hair while you sleep. If my words are false, I’ll let you order me around for an entire day without complaints.”

Nicole pondered for a bit before nodding her head.

“Understood, I will trust you just this once.” Nicole then took a sleeping bag out of her storage ring and tucked herself in for the night.

Samantha did the same and slept beside Nicole.

She was certain that their leader would wake up at the first sign of trouble and keep her safe.

Ethan lightly tapped his storage ring and summoned a queen-sized bed, which made the corner of Nicole’s and Samantha’s lips twitch.

Even Lady Johanna was dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events.

This was the first time she had seen someone summon an actual bed in a Dungeon in order to get a proper sleep.

Just as Ethan was about to lay on the bed, a certain black-haired girl beat him to it and laid on the soft bed cushion, which made her sigh in comfort.

“This is the life,” Samantha said before closing her eyes to sleep.

Ethan looked at the young lady who managed to fall asleep mere seconds after her head rested on top of his pillow.

Nicole quietly side-eyed her sleeping bag before shifting her gaze toward Ethan’s bed.

After a while, she walked toward Ethan’s bed and laid down beside Samantha, who was now fast asleep.

“Problem?” Nicole asked as she eyed the young man, who was looking down at her and Samantha with his arms crossed over his chest.

“No problem,” Ethan replied before taking out his wand. “Leviticus.”

Using his magic, he made the bed float and moved it near the wall of the dungeon.

A moment later, he summoned another bed, which looked exactly the same as the one that Nicole and Samantha were resting on.

Ethan’s storage ring was just as big as the Training Grounds of Brynhildr Academy.

It was only a simple matter to fit a bed or two inside of it, and there would still be space for a lot more.

Lady Johanna felt as if she was a beggar in the streets, looking at the people who had a proper bed to sleep on.

In the end, she could only smile bitterly as she watched Ethan sleep on his comfortable bed without a care in the world.

‘Children these days are so bold.’ Lady Johanna smiled bitterly as she laid down on her sleeping bag.

If possible, she would also like to sleep in a bed, but her face was not thick enough to ask Ethan to lend her his bed to sleep on.

It didn’t take long before the entire group was sound asleep.

Nicole, who was trained since childhood as a Magical Knight, was only half-asleep. It was ingrained in her bone to keep her senses awake while resting, ready to move at the first signs of danger.

A few hours later, a group of six Adventurers arrived to challenge the Goblin King.

Similar to Lady Johanna, they were dumbfounded when they saw the three teenagers sleeping peacefully on the two beds that were in the corner of the cavern.

“Are my eyes deceiving me?” one of the Adventurers asked.

“No, Brother,” his friend commented. “Our minds are just playing tricks on us.”

The group of Adventurers were very tempted to get near the teenagers and give them a piece of their minds.

However, since they weren’t the obnoxious kind of people, they decided to simply ignore the weirdness of the situation and entered the Gate, which would allow them to challenge the Goblin King.

Ethan didn’t move a muscle the entire time the Adventurers were looking at them.

However, inside his shadow, something moved, ready to strike at anyone who would dare to hurt her Master.

Fortunately, that group of Adventurers minded their own business.

If they really tried to do something to Ethan’s group while they were sleeping, Lilith would emerge and go for the kill, which was something that she hadn’t done in a long while.
