Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 66: Trust

After a quiet dinner Lili and Yunan talked about the situation in Debauchery and how it works in this group and she was surprised by the answer given by Yunan. "Be yourself, trust the others and work as hard as you can". Lili was a bit confused, from all the long speeches Yunan and leol gave her, she only looked at it as using trust as an excuse to do whatever they wanted but now she understood how important trust was to a group like Debauchery, the only way they can be themselves and work as hard as they can is if they trust each other. Not just any trust, its complete trust where you doubt your own words if they say you did not say them.

These revelation also drove a question to her mouth "you've only known Reina for a month so how come she lets you do whatever you want to her, and why are you two so protective of her, i could understand it if you guys were childhood friends but a month is too short". Leol Answered immediately "I've only know Yunan for 3 months and we are the best of friends, we did not even study with each other full time until Reina showed up, he was raised in an orphanage and i was raised as an aristocrat, he chose to become a hero by entering Tartarus while i ran away here because i hate politics and only want to help my family from the background. Yunan never asked my background, he even let me join his lessons whenever i wanted, he dragged me to the morning workout because he wanted me to be more than what i resigned myself to be, and when i met Debauchery for the first time he introduced me as his roommate, not an aristocratic or friend or anything else, just my name and my occupation."

"It did not matter to Debauchery if we were friends or not, they just saw a seed of trust between us and nurtured it, they did not stop me from attending the most wanted training regime in the continent and did not even care if I leaked it, they just accepted me, i was weak so they went easy on me. Debauchery let us do what we wish, although there were consequences to our actions the worst was Yunan getting suplexed because we didn't share the reward when we sold information about how to get a response from Debauchery."

"Our first night with Reina was very funny now that we look back at, she just relaxed herself and slept in Yunan's bed as if she was home, she did not even bother to move when we helped her changed her clothes, although her face was beet red she just accepted that we are only helping her and she trusted that, the next morning we had to show her how to put on training gear, how to run properly, how to do squats, push ups and sit ups properly. After that we had to show her how to clean herself up, and then it became a habit to bath together after training because Reina was always too tired to bath alone and would sleep in the middle of it most of the times, after that we learned how to care for long hair and tail fur from Fae who had neither."

"That is the reason we care for her, she was a princess and knew that as her fellow students and maybe future Party in the dungeon she could trust us, her face still goes red when we help her change or dress her up but that is the extent of it, she left herself under our mercy and we can not let her down, as for me and Yunan, well let's say we bonded over caring for Reina more than we did over the previous two months we were alone"

Lili finally understood how and why this weird party worked so fine even including the idiotic things they do all the time, it was never about what they do or say, that is just them being themselves, the most important thing was never said out loud or shown off, it did not matter what personality they had or what actions they did because that truly had no effect on the party in the critical moments.

Everyone went to sleep soon after, they had a very early morning and no doubt a busy day to go along with it. At dawn the usual scene of the boys waking up the princess changed into Lili and the boys waking up the princess. Lili had the same furious blush on her face as Reina, but she kept her mouth shut and helped with small things to accelerate the process, once they were outside the room and walking to the field for the work out Leol patted Lili in the head and said "you did good".

They did the same workout for Lili that they did with Reina when she first started, and thanks to the effects of the spirit heart they could push Lili a bit harder. During bathing time they set up a screen between the boys and the girls to help ease Lili a bit, ultimately she had to ask for help from the boys, it was less intense atmosphere then last night. As for the morning lesson, Debauchery was missing and only Dustan showed up, thus it was combat training, Yunan instructed Lili on how to use the crossbows and aim, but she still needed a lot of exercise since most of yer bolts were friendly fire, leaving more marks on them than Dustan did. They also taught Lili about the basic use of swords and daggers as well as the importance of moving during a battle.

Debauchery were called in by the guild headquarters when they sent Balin to do the paperwork for the secret quest about finding Black fate and had to give a detailed explanation to the guild master on how it came into their possession as well as how it worked. The guild master almost flipped his desk when he heard how Yunan got it after a playing session with a barber, and he had the urge to strangle those in front of him for allowing a kid to keep such an important item, an he was dumbfounded by their excuse. "The lucky runt grants us outrageous luck, and we treat just so-so i fear for my life if we treated him badly" explained Balin.

Lucian confirmed "the bad luck that will befall us if we try will topple nations, we certainly are not taking it away from him, if you want to try, just make sure you have some connection with lady luck because last we checked the runt was her friend and just so you know, those who thought about harming him were found out because we needed to train him in unarmed combat so be careful."

"The purge of last weekend was kicked into gear because we needed training partners for him and chose those who were spying on us because they were the closest, a whole cult was exposed by a freaking accident because they had the idea to target him and were not even sure they would do it, so think carefully, because bad luck is the sort of thing that can ruin planets and just your day" leader finished Debauchery argument and gave a warning to the old man who was on the urge of tearing their limbs for using such a stupid line of reasoning.
