Reason to Go Ahead
This is might be the last sleep in my life . While I am having such a thought, I take out a blanket from the items bag . The life on the 20thfloor feels so long . The blanket has turned black and very dirty .
We decided to take a break to prepare ourselves for the fight with the Mid Boss . Fortunately, there are no monsters around the area which are likely to approach our resting place . Finally, once for a while, I might be able to rest for the first time .
Before I realize it, the two of us are lying side by side under one blanket and go to sleep . As usual, Erin is laying down beside me .
Erin: I decided that I wont utter any fainthearted remark, but can I just say one thing?
Erin turns her body towards me and lets out one long sigh which hits my ears . I shrug my shoulder to ease the ticklish feeling .
Note: What is it?
Erin: You really do want to fight against the Mid Boss, right?
Note: Its not fighting . I plan to stall some time and run away .
Erin: But its still the same thing .

Suddenly I feel that my hand is tightly grasped .
Erin: Actually for me, I dont really hate our life right now .
Note: Our life right now?
Erin: Like I said, I dont hate our current life like this where I can talk with Note without any discretion .
Note: So?
I actually understand what she wants to say, but I deliberately refute her .
Note: Theres no sunshine here and no decent food . We never know when the monsters will attack us, and there is no bed to lay our bodies . If you think about it with a clear mind, isnt this the worst environment to live?
Erin: But just like this, we are able to talk with each other . Moreover, its not like we cannot predict the monsters attack at all . So far, our life here has been quite peaceful .
Note: If its like that, we are still able to do it too on the outside world .

Erin: You might be right . But there are things that we cannot do in the outside world .
Note: What do you mean?
Erin: This is the world for only the two of us, unlike the outside world .
------The world only for the two of us .
That phrase strangely seeps through to the inside of my heart . It is exactly as she said, this place has become the world only for the two of us . This is a perfect world which is only consisted of me and Erin . In this place, as long as we think about each other, we will be able to live peacefully without bothering anyone else .
That is an absolutely ideal life . Two people can live happily until they die without carrying the pain in their hearts .
Erin: Why dont you stop thinking about challenging the Mid Boss and enjoy the tremendous happiness in the remaining of limited time? Although this place is dangerous, if I am together with you, I think we can live like this for a long time .
Erin seems to think the same thing as I did .
Erin: We can sleep and embrace each other . Lets kiss all day long . After that, lets gradually do a lot of things together until we are tired of it . Just like that, you have an option to spend the rest of your life in happiness until you die .
After she said that, Erin invites my hand to touch her chest . I feel the attractiveness of her decadent proposal from back of my throat to my hand . Weaving days by days with each other, I feel that this seems like the shortest way to gain our happiness .

The heartbeat which I can feel from the palm of my hand gives me some sensation to draw out my impulse .
Note: ----Erin .
Before I was able to utter even one word out, Erin already beat me to it .
Erin: But, you wont choose that option, right? By judging from your face, I understand already . You wont stop on going with your plan .
Note: Yes
It is exactly as what Erin said . For me, I cant just leap into that kind of ideal life . Because I have already determined to go back to the Purith town together with Erin . After all, I want to give her a salvation in the true meaning, not a mere temporary relief .
Erin: I thought so . Therefore, I just want to confirm your reply . If Note decided not to go forward with this plan, by no means, I will never blame you .
Note: Thank you .
I relied my thanks for Erins concern . It was a kind gesture which was unimaginable if it was her old self . She never used to think about me like this .
Note: Rather, if we are able to get out from this dungeon, we can also do those things too .
Erin: Then, dont die . You have to make it alive and go back home .
As I look at Erins smile, I am unable to resist the urge to hug her tight . The reasons to stay alive and go back home have increased again . With this, there is no other choice except to sacrifice myself in order to get at least only Erin out of this place .
Erin: Somehow, I can fell asleep if I feel safe .
Note: Whats that? Well, lets go to sleep for tomorrow .
Erin: Yeah, good night .
Note: Good night .
Just like that, Erin entrusts herself and lays her head on my chest . With my other free hand, I stoke Erins hair . Her hair is thin, brittle and a little bit rough to touch . Unknowingly, I have been wanting to touch it .
Once I close my eyes, tomorrow will come earlier .
This is the first time that I dont want tomorrow to come .
