Never Die Extra Chapter 177

Evan D. Sherden, Turning Fourteen (2)

Evan sent the carts to the warehouse of the Brotherhood Corporation with the knight Dain, then guided the rest of the party inside the Dungeon Knights headquarters. Maybell tried to come inside, insisting that he was an honorary member, but when Evan salad he would give his some of her time later, she finally calmed down and went back. Evan proved to be very good at handling Maybell.

“Yes! We’ll work hard!”

Ena, a beautiful girl with exceptionally large and clear black eyes and long black hair tied in a ponytail, asked Evan that. Ena was as good a follower to Evan as Marie was to Shine. he was the first to ask him to teach his grappling because he wanted to chase after him. Rookies in the dungeon knights liked Evan a lot, but among them, Ena was particularly different.

It was obvious that Anastasia was really into Shine… in other words, he couldn’t ignore the knights’ crises. However, Evan salad she would appoint his as an honorary member to solve the formal problem. It would be strange if she, who was only in a business relationship with the Brotherhood Corporation, were assisting the knights. It was very beneficial for the knights, considering his ability as a Druid and as a witch.

“You’ve had a hard time, sir. If there’s anything I can do to help you…”

Shiny didn’t know why or what to say, so she calmly stepped back. It saved her life. Only then did Anastasia step forward and say hello to Serena.

Paul and Marie were the first children to join the dungeon knights. They also had the longest experience with the Rookie training, and each of them was a veteran with great skills as a sorcerer and a warrior. Although they were still young, at the age of eleven, they would be in the high ranks in terms of the explorers’ capacity in Sherden.

“Well done, Shine.”

There was an invisible spark between the two women exchanging simple greetings. It was also a moment when each side was convinced of the other’s feelings. They could never back down!

“Long time no see, Your Highness Serena.”

“Oh, hello to you too! But who are you?”

“Yes, I thought you’d say that.”

“I already told you that Princess Anastasia has a close relationship with me, right? Of course, she’s not deeply involved with our knights, but I’m going to treat his as an honorary member from now on.

“Yes. You’ve been waiting for a long time, haven’t you?”

“Anastasia L. Leonine. Your Highness once visited the territory with your Majesty.”

“But Evan, I prefer bears to lions.”

“This time, the assistance of experienced people is very important. Shine, you can do it, right?

“Hurrah!”

The two girls could be considered superior within the dungeon knights, given the potential of their talents. If Evan had a bolder personality, he might have put only those two sisters in the dungeon.

Instead of responding to Anastasia, Evan led the group to the underground training camp, pulling Serena along with them. At this time, most of them would be training underground.

“This is our training ground.”

“I’ll do my best!”

“Oh, the vice-Captain is here!”

“A very pretty sister came back with you!”

“It’s not a lion, but a tiger…?”

“No! What’s the point, you idiot!”

“It’s because, without me, you have to lead the party to make sure it proceeds smoothly.”

“Really?! With you, captain!”

“Then we will do our best to assist you. But vice-captain has a lot more to do. Captain, what do you think?”

Shiny hugged the twin sisters, who were the first to run to him, and greeted the other children. Among them, the most welcoming to Shiny was Marie, who turned eleven this year.

“No, but I do think it’s something. he looks like our vice-captain.”

Since Jin, Ena, and Serena had only cleared up to the 10th floor, Evan was going to start on the 11th floor and run all the way to assist them. The plan was to continue after the 20th floor if Jin and Ena could handle it, and if it were too much, send those two back first and clear up to the 30th floor with the rest of them.

“We’ve been so bored since you’ve left, Oppa! You know the fool Jin, yesterday…

‘Looks about the same as Maybell’s breasts…?’

“Thank you, Marie. But it’s okay because it’s not that hard. I’ll accept your feelings.

“Yes, because Jin is special.”

Evan asked Shiny with calm conviction, and Shiny nodded at Evan’s question without any hesitation. Perhaps Shiny had been waiting for the moment Evan would give him these instructions.

“Yes, yes, sir. Arghhhh.”

“Since Jin, Rin, and Lan, finally!?”

“But she’s very pretty. Is he an aristocrat?”

The members of the dungeon knights knew that Shiny had been sent to the Duke’s territory under Evan’s order but didn’t know what he had been specifically doing. Shiny smiled bitterly and gave a general explanation of what had been going on. Their response was indeed dramatic.

“Two months with this beautiful woman… Hah.”

Marie hesitated to say as all the eyes of the party were on Anastasia. No wonder since Evan had brought a new visitor into the headquarters.

“It’s all right, and it’s nothing new. That’s already wrong. I am the corepresentative of the Brotherhood Corporation with Maybell.”

“Wow!”

“I can do it at any time. I’ll be right behind you, Master.”

“…I am Anastasia. I am indebted to Shine. Please take good care of me.”

“No, because vice-captain was just on a mission. I’m looking forward to it as well. I am Marie.”

Maybell’s boobs weren’t small at all, but Serena had already had almost the same size at the age of thirteen. What would happen if he grew up a little more…? Shine, who was casually staring at Serena, felt a stabbing pain in her side and turned her head. Anastasia was pinching her side with an expressionless face.

“It’s not a simple mission, so I’ll probably still need Shine’s help.”

“Yes, at the same time as you guys. Me, Lua, Raihan, Arisha, Ray, Jin, and Ena. If possible, I’m going to clear the dungeon up to the 30th floor.”

“Let’s talk about that later. We have a more important plan today.”

Evan declared so, boldly ignoring Marie and Anastasia’s gaze that rested on him. she didn’t bring Anastasia here to shoot a love comedy featuring Shine.

“By the way, that person behind you…”

“Oppa, where have you been? Ah, there’s Shine! Hi!”

“So, is he higher ranked than the captain?”

As Shiny nodded casually, Evan took Shiny by the tip of his nose and shook him two or three times (Anastasia and Marie envied even that) before she continued to speak.

“Master, why would you leave me out…!?”

“It means we help, and in situations where we need help, we can get the support of Princess Anastasia.”

Perhaps it was break time, as the members of the knights, who were resting, gathered around them. Only one, Leo, repeated the practice of using her greatsword and greeted Shiny with her eyes. That was enough for now, as they would talk enough to grow sick of each other later anyway.

“Wow!”

“But Maybell is the most visible representative. That’s what matters.”

“She has black hair. Does he happen to be a new member of our Knights…?”

“Ah… Shine’s back. He’s worked hard.”

“Can you do it, Shine?”

“Yes, Master!”

Marie had short hair around his neck, which gave his a strange feeling of being a vigorous and active woman. No, he was a very pretty girl, so even if he had long hair, it would suit her.

Half of them were nervous about the unexpected appearance of a guest, and half of them were happy to see her. Among them, Marie was particularly wary of Anastasia and clung to Shine. Anastasia’s eyes shone keenly when he saw Marie’s attitude—she couldn’t help watching that young thing cling to Shine.

“Well, the members…Shine, Princess Anastasia, Paul, Marie, Ditto, Melson…and Rin and Lan.”

“Oh, Marie. Long time no see. How have you been?”

“Oppa, we’re going in the Dungeon too?”

It was a very reckless story. Evan wanted Shiny to clear the 21st to 30th floors without any company and clear even the Hidden Boss. Evan had always been too hard on himself, yet she had never demanded too much from anyone else! A strange feeling possessed Shine. she didn’t feel so bad, but rather she had a feeling that Evan trusted him. Evan’s eyes were still fixed on him.

Evan smiled contentedly at Shine’s confident declaration and tapped Shiny lightly on her shoulder. Shiny smiled right back. Others who had not heard their conversation were puzzled, but only Belois had a serious look on his face. his gaze at Shiny was unusual.

“There’s so much space under the ground…”

“Yes. Ena, you learned the most grappling from me, so I wanted to watch you apply it in a real fight. Let’s think about utilizing the grappling with your spear.”

‘Perhaps it’s because they started rookie training at an early age. They’re so energetic that nobody can even tell they’re rookies.’

“She’s a daughter of the Duke!”

“Hehe… with Captain.”

“Because I’m not alone, but I have Paul and Marie, I’ll try it.”

Evan spoke in a cool voice to Shine, who had shouted out in resentment. When Shiny was about to voice out her inability to understand, Evan wagged her finger at him. Shiny then drew closer to Evan, and Evan began to speak in a voice that could only be heard by him.

“I don’t like him, either.”

“I’m home, Your Highness Serena.”

“Oh, you are going into the Dungeon with me this time, Ena.”

“Then, what is the composition of the members?”

“Foolish Shine… as expected, you’ve become my enemy now.”

“Are you going into the dungeon, too?”

“Yes, it’s good to see you too.”

“Vice-Captain!”

“An honorary member?”

Rin and Lan would be eight years old this year. They were too young to enter the dungeon, but Evan had concluded through discussions with their teachers, Leo and Aria, that they could sufficiently handle the dungeon. These children were no ordinary eight-year-olds. They were elites who had trained for nearly two years and had received intensive education from the world’s best greatsword warrior and priest!

“Yes! Yes! I will do my best! …I’ll work hard, captain!”

There was a reason why Evan wanted to take Jin and Ena to Dungeon. Jin was also a famous character in the Yoma Great War Series 4, and this time, she had learned archery from Iloin. Ena was a child who wanted to learn unique combat skills by exploring the harmony between the spear and other skills. As they moved toward unknown possibilities, Evan wanted to help them learn useful skills in the dungeon as much as possible by fighting right beside them.

“It-it’s an honor. Thank you very much for taking me, captain!”

“Am I also coming with you, Oppa? So, now I’m in the first division!”

“Don’t divide the knights into two groups, Ray, as we are all in the same order. It’s just this one time.”

“I can’t believe you’ll take Jin there…”

“Oh, Uncle Sorde’s daughter! Nice to meet you, sister. But you don’t look alike at all. Uncle looks like a bear.”

“I’m scared to see him train.”

“I hate that fool. she doesn’t even want to talk to us. I don’t like him.”

“Then, captain, what do I do? I’d love to enter the dungeon…”

Jin was not here because she still had private lessons with Iloin. However, if she had heard this, she would have been as pleased as Ena because Jin was as obsessed with Evan as he was, or perhaps, even so, more than her. The other children looked at Ena with envy and jealousy as he would enter the Dungeon with Evan. Talk about Jin came from all over the place. Evan smiled bitterly, realizing her influence on the rookies. To not cause discord among the members, she thought he should pay attention to the composition of the party when she entered the dungeon.

“Master, but when that happens, people who doubt the ties between the Brotherhood Corporation and the dungeon knights…”

“Are you just going that way?”

“Yes, then I will leave it to you.”

“Let the rest of the party go back from the 20th floor, and you come down from the 21st to the 30th floor alone. We’ll clear the Hidden Boss, of course.”

“Welcome, Oppa! Hug me!”

“Raihan is only defensive, and Lua is vulnerable. Arisha still lacks skills, and Ray won’t go into the dungeon unless she’s with me…but you can do it on your own. Isn’t that right?”

“Let’s at least say he’s a lion, not a bear.”

“So, as part of that, this time, the Princess will enter the dungeon with you. You’re helping his grow. You can do it, can’t you?”

“Yes, I can.”

The girl, waiting on the wide sofa in the lobby on the first floor, waved his hands when he saw the group. he was the first daughter of the Silk Line royalty and a member of the dungeon knights. he was thirteen this year. As if to prove that he was in her prime of growth, he had grown significantly after Shiny had left the territory, especially in the chest area. Shiny was astonished.

Anastasia was a beginner who had yet to enter the dungeon, while the rest of the knights, except Rin and Lan, had broken through the dungeon’s 10th floor. In other words, the members didn’t complain about it, even though it was simply a matter of escorting Anastasia to the tenth floor. It was evidence of their loyalty toward Evan.

Around that time, Evan broke in with a sigh. Leave the guest service to Serena, and he won’t stop talking.

“Yes, yes, all right. Princess, this way. I’m going to the basement training center, so you should follow me.”

Ena was overjoyed at the unexpected news. Shiny raised her head at the remark.

Shiny looked at Evan in surprise.
