"As the party leader, I order you guys to go on this quest with me" Jack started ordering us around

"Aren't you getting ahead of yourself?" I was annoyed already

"What do you mean?" Jack acted all innocent and asked

"Before taking a quest, I always make sure that Cynthia is okay with it" You can't just go ahead and do this and that

"This is the party leader's advantage" He still wouldn't give up

"Who appointed you leader in the first place" I'm not stepping down

"I appointed myself, seeing that you are so weak"

"You picking a fight?" I can whoop this assholes ass no sweat

"Enough, please let him be just this once..." Cynthia requested me

"Give him an inch and he'll ask for a mile" I warned Cynthia

"Just this once Zeno, please"

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

"*sigh* At least tell me your relationship with him"

"He's my childhood friend, he's the son of our chief royal guard"

"Why is he taking on a quest?" Son of the chief royal guard? then isn't Jack supposed to be protecting Cynthia or taking her to a safe place?

"...I don't know"

Cynthia doesn't have any family members left so Jack can be considered something close to a family when it comes to Cynthia...right?

"Just this once okay?" If Jack doesn't take care of Cynthia then I'm taking her away from him

"Thank you"

"Tell me the details of the quest" We returned to Jack and I asked

"Tch, that's your job! read it for us" Jack threw the quest scroll at me

Endure! endure! this is for Cynthia

{Investigate the newly discovered dungeon

Reward 500 gold coins

}

"

"The reward is good! let's go!" Jack pulled Cynthia, I silently followed behind them.

Along the way, they started talking about the past and what were Jack's plans for the future.

We walked for 30 minutes and finally saw what looked like a Colosseum and in the center of it was stairs leading down

"Let's go in!" Jack quickly ran in

"Wait up!" Cynthia chased after him, looks like she really misses her family

'Lilith...'

'Jack will cause us troubles'

'yeah..'

I followed behind them, we faced goblins and a few ogres here and there but I only watched Jack show off in front of Cynthia

"Hey look at that!" Jack pointed at a door

"Hey! don't go in!" My warning was ignored because Jack went inside and pulled Cynthia along with him, I tried to follow them but the door closed and I couldn't open them

'Lilith!'

'1 match found! this is called a trap room'

'how do I open it?'

'It will only open if one of the people who entered it dies!'

'What?!' Cynthia is in deep shit
