Concrete_Jungle Dungeon Day 7 Part 1

"Right, that's a good name... Gold-Puro... That's what I'm calling him!"

""Uh-huh?...""

Mifumi-sama and Felin stare blankly at me in response to what I said.

"Uh-huh?..."

And I stare blankly at them in response to their blank stare.

"You mean the Golden_Golem, Vier-chan?"

"Mhm!... The big gold Golem?"

"Yep!... It needs a name if it's going to become my new pet monster. Right?..."

"OF COURSE, NOT!..."

.

.

.

After the never-ending battle against the endless amount of Undead_Skeletons, we picked up as many Guild cards as we could find and followed up behind the Golden_Golem.

We're not sure where the Golden_Golem might be going. But if Mifumi-sama's theory is right about it going back to its respawning point at its territory, then the Golden_Golem will surely lead us out back to the surface of the old ruins of concrete skyscrapers.

"Aside from the fact that a Rank_5 monster surely won't be allowed to enter the outpost town, how do you expect to control the Golden_Golem?"

"Mhm!... How to train the gold golem?"

"Don't worry, Mifumi-sama, Felin. I got a plan."

"Sigh... Really, Vier-chan?..."

"Mhm!... Tell us, Vier!"

Mifumi-sama sighed with disbelief upon hearing what I said. Felin on the other hand looks excited to hear about my plan.

"Fine... Tell me about your plan on how to control a high-ranking monster."

Now that Mifumi-sama has said it... Controlling a high-ranking monster and turning it into a pet monster sounds impossible... Outrageous even if I said so... However, my plan is flawless at every detail and has no danger on it...

"If this turns out to be a joke, then be ready to receive another smack in your head."

"Mhm!... No joke!"

"Ack!... Ha,ha,ha..."

I gave a sarcastic laugh as I looked away trying to escape Mifumi-sama's and Felin's threats.

"Come on. Tell us about it, Vier-chan."

"Mhm!... Tell us, Vier!"

In an awkward and silent voice, I then say my great plan on how to turn Gold-Puro... I mean the Golden_Golem into a pet monster.

"I'm gonna put a le... ... ... ..."

"Can you please say that again one more time, Vier-chan?"

"Mhm!... Say it loud and clear!"

Mifumi-sama is now swinging her Sorceress_Staff as if practicing to smack it into someone's head while Felin is still looking forward to my method of controlling a high-ranking monster.

Ugh!... Those innocent eyes... The guilt...

"Come on, Vier-chan. Say it."

"Mhm!... Say it!"

"I'm gonna put... ... ... ..."

""Put what??...""

"I'm gonna put a leash on it!!!..."

...SWISH!!!...

"Woah!..."

Mifumi-sama swings her Sorceress_Staff creating a swishing sound in the air. If I didn't dodge that in the last second, then I'm definitely gonna have a bump on top of my head.

"Don't dodge, Vier-chan!"

"But it's gonna hurt, Mifumi-sama. So please stop!"

"For the last time!... The Golden_Golem is not a dog!... As if putting a leash on it would do something!"

"Mhm!... It's not a big golden dog."

"But it's gonna be cool to take it on a walk while riding on its shoulder and holding onto its leash."

"What?... That's not how you take a walk... And it's not a dog!"

...SWISH!!!...

"Woah... Stop with the swing, Mifumi-sama!... That's not how you use a Sorceress_Staff!"

"WAAARRRHHH!..."

"Mhm!... Get Vier, Mifumi-sama!"

"No!... Please stop Mifumi-sama, Felin!..."

.

.

.

.

.

"Huff...Huff...Huff... Okay, that's enough playing, Vier-chan, Felin-chan."

"Huff...Huff...Huff... Right, let's get back to following Gold-Puro... I mean the Golden_Golem."

"Mhm!... You play too much, Mifumi-sama, Vier."

""Yeah... Sorry...""

After our little antics about walking a golem on a leash, we continue following the Golden_Golem while maintaining a safe distance in which the attention of the Golden_Golem won't shift to our group.

I'm leading the group with a Magic_Lantern in my hand while Mifumi-sama is guarding our back with another Magic_Lantern on hand. Felin who can see better than us in the dark is in position between me and Mifumi-sama while being vigilant to what might be hiding in the dark.

That's how we continue moving towards the underground depths following behind the Golden_Golem.

The Golden_Golem will sometimes stop and touch those giant pillars. I don't know what it's doing but those giant pillars that I saw in my dream can give light and illuminate this whole underground bringing life to an underground rainforest.

Is the Golden_Golem perhaps trying to fix those giant pillars and bring back their lights?

"Nope... That's kind of absurd for a reason..."

"Did you say something, Vier-chan?"

"Hmm?.. It's nothing important, Mifumi-sama. I'm just thinking of something silly about Gold-Puro."

"Just don't think about smuggling it inside the Adventurers' outpost town."

"Mhm!... Don't do bad things, Vier!"

"As if I can hide a 3-meter tall bulky humanoid shape golden golem, Mifumi-sama, Felin."

"Well, it's you Vier-chan so you might think of a way."

"Mhm!... Vier is smart!"

"Hahaha... There's no way... I... could... do... Wait... What if I break it and move it by parts inside the outpost town... The question is would it be able to assemble itself after breaking it apart?"

"See!... That's what I'm talking about, Vier-chan!"

"Mhm!... Vier is a naughty child!"

.

.

.

After moving towards the darkness of the underground depths for more than half a day, our group together with the Golden _Golem finally reached a wall that might show our way out back to the surface above.

"""It's a staircase!!!... Yeah!!!..."""

"Sob... Sob...Sob... Finally a way out of this place..."

"Sob...Sob...Sob... What are you crying for, Vier-chan..."

"Sniff...Sniff...Sniff... But you're also crying, Mifumi-sama..."

"Sniff...Sniff...Sniff... But I thought we're already goners and be stuck in this underground forever..."

"Don't cry, Vier, Mifumi-sama... We're not gonna be bones."

""You're right, Felin / Felin-chan... Waaahhhh!...""

We don't care about the Adventurers' Academy Entrance Exam anymore. After all, getting out of this place and not turning into one of those walking fragile bones is what important to us.

Surviving and saving our lives is what matters at the end of the day.

.

.

.

After I and Mifumi-sama cry our hearts out from the relief of seeing a way out leading to the surface, we continue following the Golden_Golem climbing the staircase.

Yep... We're not walking on the staircase but instead literally climbing.

The staircase attached to the wall that leads up to the ceiling is probably made for the Golems to use. After all, every step in the staircase has a height of half a meter.

"Who the heck made this freaking staircase!"

"Enough with your tantrums and climb, Vier-chan! We can't afford to get left behind!"

"Mhm!... Climb faster, Vier!"

"I know, I know, I know..."

.

.

.

After half an hour of climbing the giant staircase, the Golden_Golem with our group behind finally reached the top connecting to the above ceiling.

The Golden_Golem then touched the wall and the ceiling began to tremble and open up like a sliding door to show us the surface's light that we missed so much.

...TREMBLE!...TREMBLE!...TREMBLE!...

"Hurry up! Vier-chan, Felin-chan... Let's get out before the ground closes up!"

""Mhm!!..."

I led our group following the Golden_Golem that already went above the ceiling.

"Ohh!... Mifumi-sama, Felin, we're finally outside!"

"""UH-HUH???..."""

I'm expecting to get back near the place where we fought Gold-Puro yesterday. After all, that's probably where its territory is. However, we came out in a rather unexpected place.

"Uh-huh?... What's happening?... Who are all of you?..."

..."""Where the one who should be asking you that!!!"""...
