I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths

Episode 14:

One Gold

So you're saying this dungeon

is a city from another world called Glad Shi-im,

and this King Vordan was trying to save the city and its people

by using a special type of magic

to transport it across dimensions to our world?

Yes.

That is correct.

But the people of the city disappeared,

and now strange monsters seem to have taken it over.

Those monsters are the people of Glad Shi-im.

Their humanity was sacrificed.

What does that mean?

Look at this.

I've been wondering about that.

Just what is this artifact?

We made it per Rain's request.

Something to help with the ring's appraisal, yes?

Watch.

What's this place?

The Glad Shi-im of the past, taken over by the Sunset.

So the rings you found on the monsters are capable of displaying images?

Like magic gems for streaming?

That's what I thought at first, too,

but what's recorded on these rings...

is the information about the people themselves.

King Vordan tried to relocate the entire city,

but the magic was imperfect.

It's too difficult for a human body to cross dimensions.

So the king thought that perhaps it would work

if they were not human.

The very idea is madness.

The king must have already been under the Sunset's influence.

King Vordan possessed an item called the One Gold.

We are still investigating what this item is and where he acquired it.

According to the Golden Priestess...

That which no human should touch,

the cursed universal vessel,

the fruit of the World Tree that grants all wishes.

The One Gold granted the king's wish and created golden rings.

He then gave the rings to the people

and did what needed to be done to get them across dimensions.

And as a result...

Due to the imperfect magic and the effects of the Sunset,

the people turned into monsters,

and Glad Shi-im appeared in this world as a dungeon.

So what happens if we simply allow it to exist, Hero?

The Golden Priestess also said...

Yuke Feldio, stop the Twilight King and destroy the gold.

Should you fail, this world will be swallowed by the twilight as well.

As she said, we must destroy it.

Can you do that?

We have to.

Indeed...

Yuke Feldio, you have been given the duty and privilege of being the hero.

Devote your efforts to this kingdom.

I will.

Mom, I'm hungry!

Oh? Well, then, I'll have to make a big dinner, won't I?

Yeah! What're you gonna make?

I can't allow this world to be swallowed by the Sunset.

Yuke, your brow's wrinkled.

Let's head back to the inn.

We should get plenty of rest while we can, right?

You're right.

We always have to be ready to put on the best performance we can.

Yep.

I've been looking for you.

Who are you?

I'm your uncle, Rhaenys.

You got my letter, didn't you?

Now, come with me at once!

I don't know who you are, but I think you have the wrong person.

You must be Yuke Feldio.

That girl belongs to our family.

We'll be taking her back.

Is she? I was told that she didn't have any family left in the world.

Restrain her. I don't care if she gets roughed up a bit.

Yes, sir.

Snare.

Snare

Sleep Mist.

Sleep Mist

I-I am Bran Crowder, representative of Count Crowder's household!

This girl, Rhaenys, is the daughter of Dimit, the current head of our household!

You will give her to me!

No, I will not.

I know you got my letter!

Rhaenys's marriage into the Salmutarian royal family has been decided!

I know nothing of that, and I refuse to acknowledge it.

Why, you—

What makes you think Rain is Rhaenys, the daughter of the count?

Where's your proof?

Proof?!

Also, permission is required for someone of noble blood to marry a foreigner.

Do you have that?

Why, you...

In other words, you people of the Crowder household

only say that Rain might be related to you,

so that you can abduct her, sell her off to Salmutaria,

establish ties with their royalty without approval,

and make yourselves a tidy profit. Am I wrong?

And what's the problem with that?!

She'll earn the title of queen consort thanks to her status as a Crowder!

The time has come at last for her to be useful!

Come, Rhaenys!

Your father wishes to see you!

Pierce, flash of light.

I have no desire to see him.

Y-You're going to be a queen!

Energy Bolt.

Energy Bolt

Go home. I am Rain of Clover.

I'm not Rhaenys.

Well, we managed to run him off.

Yeah. Thanks to you.

We were right to have Mamar destroy all evidence that you were the count's daughter.

Yeah. I'll have to thank her when we get back to Finis.

I think I'm a bit tired now.

I'll relax in the hot spring.

Maybe I'll do that, too.

Want to get in together?

I have things I need to do, so you can get in first.

You thought about it for a second, didn't you?

Bran, where are the goods?

W-Well, about that...

I would like to request a bit more time.

Second Prince of Salmutaria Mastoma

I believe we have already reached the day we agreed upon.

As Rhaenys has become an adventurer,

I'm afraid her temperament is a bit rough.

When I told her that we were coming to see you,

she cast a spell at me.

A woman acting out against a man?

I will never understand how the Welmelia Kingdom works.

P-Preparations will be completed with utmost haste.

For the moment, I ask that you please wait just a bit longer.

Very well.

I'll have uses for her that my other wives can't fulfill, after all.

O-Oh?

Get it, Bran?

Y-Yes, Your Highness.

While I'm at it, why don't I take all the girls Rhaenys hangs out with, too?

Huh?

I can't make them consorts, but I have uses for them.

B-But that would be...

I'll pay you three—no, five times the agreed amount.

Understood! You can count on me, Your Highness!

Good. Then get out of here.

I beg your pardon.

Five times, eh?

I'll get my hands on Clover, no matter what it takes!

That's it, Niberune. You're doing very well.

Thanks!

So that's the deal.

To destroy the One Gold,

we'll head into the deepest part of Glad Shi-im.

The One Gold will probably be in King Vordan's royal chamber.

It's not going to be an easy quest,

but please help.

Right.

Please don't worry so much.

Was it that obvious?

It'll be fine. We can do this.

She's right!

If all of us in Clover work together, we can do anything!

We won't cause trouble for you, Yuke!

Yeah. Don't be overprotective of us.

Okay, then. Thanks.

In that case, Nene, Marina,

could you go shopping for supplies?

Got it!

Can we take Rune with us?

Just be careful.

We will! Be back soon!

See ya later!

Mr. Feldio, you should relax until dinner. Enjoy the hot spring, perhaps.

Rain, you take a break, too.

Okay.

Actually, Silk, I'd like to come up with a plan of attack first.

I want to discuss it with everyone after dinner, too.

Mr. Feldio.

Yuke.

I'm... fine, really.

Not a chance. I know you were up late again last night.

Well, that's... true, but...

Rain, let's accompany him to the hot spring.

Okay.

Wait, wait! I get it!

I'll rest! I'll rest, okay?! Just wait a—

Yes, yes. Now let's go!

Just accept it.

Let me try to make sense of what's going on.

Sure, Mr. Feldio.

Why am I in the hot spring with the two of you?

Because if we leave you on your own,

you'll go off and do some sort of work again.

You're so quick to overwork yourself.

I-I'm aware of that, but I'm not suffering for it!

I honestly want to do whatever I can to help all of you...

Oh, it's just not fair for you to be that way!

H-Hey...

Doing this relaxes me.

You take very good care of us,

but you don't take such good care of yourself.

It feels like you might run off and leave us.

I just want to make certain that you're really here.

Yeah.

I'll be more careful.

But you don't need to change who you are.

We'll make sure you take breaks, just like this.

Okay, okay, I get it! Could you move a bit farther away, please?

Honestly, why must the leader of our party be such a simple man?

You never let your guard down around us.

It makes us a little sad.

That's not true at all!

You always do things out of the blue.

That surprised me.

Well, when you keep goading me like this, it's gonna touch a nerve.

Really?

He is a coward in the weirdest ways, after all.

I'm an A-rank adventurer, you know! I don't go back on my word!

Those two things aren't really connected.

Exactly. You're definitely being a bit weird, Mr. Feldio.

Seriously, get off me! Please!

No escaping allowed, Mr. Feldio!

Oh my. When did my hot spring become a mixed bath?

A Few Days Later

Niberune was taken?!

An employee saw Fullbound taking her into the dungeon.

I'm sorry, Yuke! I looked away for just a second...

No, it's not your fault, Marina.

I was careless, too.

I should have stayed with her!

No, I was—

We'll discuss this later.

We're going after Fullbound right now.

Once we catch up to Fullbound and get Niberune back,

we'll head for the deepest part of Vordan Castle.

The One Gold should be there.

Remember, your ultimate goal is to destroy the One Gold.

Please help me, everyone.

No need to be so worked up.

You guys can do this.

That's right!

You'll have us to back you up, too.

We're counting on you.

And make sure you all come back alive, you hear?

Scordia, forward!

Carmine, let's get goin'!

Everyone ready?

Yeah! Let's go get Rune back!

Let's do this, Yuke.

I have the route memorized. Let's hurry.

Leave the advance precautions to me!

Let's go, Clover!

And be careful!

Chrysalises ahead!

Ten of them!

Marona!

You can leave these guys to us.

Go on ahead.

But...

You gotta save Rune, right?

Yuke, keep your priorities straight.

We're here to provide support for you this time.

Don't lose sight of the goal!

I appreciate it.

Everyone, begin combat!

And don't look those things in the eye!

Fifteen, sixteen...

There are quite a few of them.

What shall we do, Lucent?

We hold them here so Clover can move forward, of course.

But there are far too many.

It'll work out. You young ones just need to look forward.

All right, then. Let's meet up later.

Right.

Taste the blizzard of the frozen wasteland!

Grade 5 Magic: Blizzard!

Blizzard

Burn the evil ones to ash!

Grade 4 Magic: Fire Ball!

Fire Ball

Let's go!

Time to conquer Vordan Castle!

Multiple sets of footprints...

and one set that's smaller.

Is it Fullbound and Rune?

It is.

They're headed straight for the royal chamber.

Looks like we'll be meeting them at our ultimate destination.

Let's go.

Guard up!

Loge!

It has been some time, Mr. Feldio and all of you.

We learned a lot about Glad Shi-im after you showed us to the archive.

Including who you are.

Is that so?

Loge Vordanian,

son of King Vordan.

Those days are far in the past.

And Rune is the daughter of your younger sister, Frya.

So, um... That means Rune is...

The granddaughter of King Vordan.

She is the key that her mage father and I left behind.

King Vordan—my father—made a mistake.

He was never capable of ruling over so many people.

I do hope you will make the best possible choice.

We're gonna be rich!

I hear Zaccard!

So this is the royal chamber.

And the One Gold is in here, right?

Rune should be here, too.

Come, Biblion.

Please let us know if you sense any danger.

Ready?

We're going to rescue Rune and destroy the One Gold.

Let's go!

Zaccard!

Where's Niberune?!

Yuke!

Is that King Vordan?!

Look beside him!

Rune!

Rune!

Stay out of our way!

This dungeon has already been conquered,

and not by you.

We of Fullbound conquered the whole thing on our own!

Huh?

The moment we brought that brat in here,

we won the race. That's all there is to it.

The race?

You were still competing to finish first after all this?!

And you dragged Rune into it?!

Are you guys insane?!

I'm not gonna let outsiders like you guys order us around or get the jump on us.

What are you doing?!

We shouldn't be fighting amongst ourselves!

Shut up! I never liked you from the start!

We're the ones who represent Duna!

And then you jerks just came bargin' in like you owned the place!

You made a laughingstock of us!

I hate you most of all!

Maybe you're a popular streaming party or whatever,

but you're just a playboy waitin' on a bunch of chicks!

You think adventuring is a joke?!

What?! You're just jealous!

A jealous man is such an ugly thing.

Could you guys not throw fuel on the fire, please?

It couldn't be more pathetic.

Go get a life already!

Oh, come on...

You're all just a buncha...

Hey, kingster! Here's a wish for ya!

Give us power! Power!
