Soul Devourer Chapter 6 Episode 4 — Better to Apologize After the Fact
After finishing the meeting with Russia’s foremost combat force, the〈Semi-Tsars〉, and its greatest military power, Russian〘Regalia〙, Ekaterina, I left the room.
As I exited Hunter Guild headquarters, a black luxury car was parked in front of the building.
Standing beside it was a man dressed impeccably in a black suit.
“Nice to meet you, Hunter Matsubara. My name is Ivan.”
Ivan bowed politely while speaking fluent Japanese.
“From today onward, I will be accompanying you as your support staff.”
“Understood. I look forward to working with you.”
When I replied, Ivan smiled gently before immediately moving on to the next matter.
“Then, what are your plans from here?”
“Let's see... I think I'll head straight to an S-Rank dungeon.”
“Understood. In that case, I shall guide you to the nearest S-Rank dungeon. By the way, have you already arranged accommodations?”
“Yes. I booked a hotel online.”
“That is excellent. Then, this way please.”
Ivan opened the rear passenger door and naturally held a hand near the frame. Even remembering to make sure I didn't bump my head was exactly what one would expect from dedicated support staff.
I got into the back seat and leaned against the seatback. The door closed quietly behind me.
Soon after, the engine started, and the car glided forward almost soundlessly.
♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢
“We've arrived.”
The car came to a quiet stop, and Ivan turned toward me. When I nodded, he immediately stepped out and opened the rear door.
“Thank you.”
After thanking him and stepping out, my gaze naturally shifted forward.
Spread before me was a sight I had seen many times before.
A line of hunters waiting to complete entry procedures at the dungeon entrance. A plaza bustling with people coming and going. Hunters selling materials at the guild branch office.
Different country or not, every city built around a dungeon looked much the same.
“Well then, I'm off. Even if it takes a while, I think I'll be done in about thirty minutes.”
“Th-Thirty minutes...! ...Ah, my apologies. Please take care and have a safe trip.”
Seeing Ivan off with barely concealed shock, I crossed the busy plaza filled with hunters and joined the line for entry procedures.
The registration process finished smoothly, and I stood before the dungeon entrance.
“I haven't reported anything to the Russian side, but... oh well.”
I muttered quietly to myself.
“It's guaranteed to cause a commotion anyway, so I'll just apologize afterward. It's not like I'm dragging them through the city... Honestly, it completely slipped my mind during that meeting earlier.”
Shaking off thoughts that sounded more like excuses than anything else, I activated【Void Magic】.
First, I teleported to the troll dungeon.
Then, after gathering Samael and the others, I teleported together with them to Russia's S-Rank dungeon.
The very next moment, guild employees and hunters nearby erupted into an uproar.
Feeling the commotion behind me, I stepped through the black oval-shaped entrance.
Alright then…
What kind of monsters awaited inside Russia's S-rank dungeon?
And what kind of rewards would I obtain?
Savoring the anticipation rising within my chest, I began my dungeon conquest.
