The blinding sight has returned. No matter how I look at it, the place I was moved to was more like a dungeon than a funeral hall.
“Where is this?”
If it was a dungeon, it would be a place I knew, but it was dark inside, so I couldn’t figure out exactly. So, first of all, I checked the clothes I was wearing.
“Hmmm. These are the clothes I was wearing before entering Delve Dungeon.”
I was wearing a Valhalla school uniform. On the top of the school uniform ribbon was a brooch, an inventory item, and on the wrist was the string bracelet Libby gave me as a birthday present.
“That means it’s not a story-type dungeon.”
Since story-type dungeons assign specific roles to players, the attire has also been changed accordingly. My analysis paused there.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
It was because of the sponsorship notice that had been ringing like crazy from earlier. Since it was the moment to meet the Constellations after taking a break, it would have been nice to have time to read the sponsorship comments and say hello.
“It’s been a while, everyone. How are you doing?”

How many sponsorship comments is this? I was only taking a week off, but it felt like I wasn’t communicating with the Constellations for a longer time.
“Looks like you all have been doing well.”
[The Constellations complain of the pain of the broadcast taking a break.]
“Yes. I’ll look around for a while. I don’t know where I fell.”

[Where’s Theresa from the fan meeting in Pantheon with a fierce face? ㅠ]
Is this the Constellation that came to my fan meeting? Thinking like that makes it kind of familiar.
I carefully inspected the dimly lit interior and touched the particularly dark wall. Rumble! Then, the torches installed on the walls emitted strong flames, and the inside was brightly lit.
The wall I touched was a door. The door was filled with 81 cells and numbers from 1 to 9.
“Ah, this is a Sudoku Dungeon. It’s a bonus dungeon, and I was nervous for no reason.”
Since this was a dungeon created by a mathematician who was trying to mess with the wizard, I couldn’t use magic here.
“The inside of this dungeon is like a maze. When you solve sudoku, the door opens, and the next room appears.”
As I explained, I filled in the blanks with the white chalk. Rattle! The door opened, and the next room appeared.
In this way, the next room appears when the sudoku is solved, and when the sudoku is solved again, the next room appears. If you solve the problem like that, you can find a room with rewards such as gold coins, jewels, and items. So it’s a bonus dungeon.
“A bonus dungeon as soon as I return to reality. I’m really lucky from the start.”
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘I Hate Romance’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]
[Is this place a reality show now?]
I easily solved sudoku and walked through the door.
“I’m going to have to hoard all the items as I have come to this.”
In less than 5 minutes, I hummed to myself when I found a chest filled with gold coins.
“Oh, this room has defensive magic items? One, two, three, four… I can give one to each family member.”
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Geek’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]
[Our Theresa is all grown up. You know how to take care of your family. This old lady has nothing more to ask for.]
Some rooms had multiple doors.
“In a room like this, you must solve all the problems. One of them always has a good reward.”
It was when I was robbing the dungeon. Rattle! As the new door opened, a dying voice was heard.
“W-what? Suddenly, the door opened.”
“Ugh… I’m hungry…”
“Who is there…!”
I entered the room with a bewildered expression and encountered as many as ten imperial wizards. They were all lying on the floor, helpless.
“Huh?”
“Uh?”
The imperial wizards were surprised because my clothes were Valhalla school uniforms. They were surprised by my appearance and, finally, by my identity.
“Could it be that Princess Squire…?”
“Oh, it seems right…?”
I nodded.
“I’m Theresa Squire.”
Then, it became an uproar.
“…It’s an evil spirit! An evil spirit has appeared!”
“Aaaargh! A dead person appears now?!”
“God, please watch over us…!”
Excuse me, I can understand why you’re surprised to hear that a dead person has appeared, but the evil spirit is too much, right?
A strange sound was heard when the imperial wizards were making a fuss. Rumble.
“Keugh.”
The wizards stopped ragging and lay down on the floor. As the atmosphere was hopelessly calm, I scratched my cheek and pointed to the door I had entered.
“Would you like something to eat?”
I wasn’t hungry. That’s why I didn’t touch any food in the rooms I passed by, and the imperial mages were able to eat in abundance. They gobbled up the food I brought. Some even shed tears.
“Eat slowly. There’s more food.”
If it’s not enough, I can solve more problems.
The imperial wizards were so moved that they praised me.
“If we leave this dungeon, I will definitely return the favor to Princess! …Cough, cough!”
“Yes, yes. Drink water first.”
The imperial wizards seemed to be in great mental shock as they experienced extreme starvation for the first time while enjoying extreme hunger as nobles. Maybe that’s why they threw away all their etiquette and body language and just ate food to survive. At least, the wizard, who seemed to be the head of them, talked to me with a face that soon came to his senses. That didn’t mean he stopped eating.
“I didn’t expect to meet Princess in this dungeon. Prince Willow said that Princess died on his behalf. Nomnom.”
I was a little curious if Clyde returned normally, but there seemed to be nothing to worry about.
“Outside, the Princess’s funeral was in full swing. Nomnom.”
It’s impossible to talk about Pantheon anyway, so I glossed over it moderately. “I don’t know exactly what happened. When I woke up, I was wandering around the dungeon. Then I met you guys.”
The dungeon was a place where such extraordinary things happened. They seemed to understand that I couldn’t return to reality because I had no luck and was caught up in another dungeon.
“But I’m glad Princess came back alive. Nomnom.”
Um… isn’t your stomach full at this point? The imperial wizards continued to devour the food as if they were possessed.
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘As Long As It’s Not Me’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]
[There was plenty of food in each room, but why do they look like they didn’t even get food?]
I was curious about that too.
“It seems like it’s been a long time since you’ve been in the dungeon.”
“Yes. It’s the fifth day as of today.”
“What? Five days? Why have you been in this dungeon for so long?”
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘Happiness Doesn’t Come In Grades’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]
[It’s probably because they couldn’t solve the vicious sudoku problem.]
What do you mean vicious? Although the problem became more difficult as it approached the exit, it was at a level that adults could solve easily.
The imperial wizards spoke with a rather shy look. “We don’t know the exact rules, but the more we get the problem wrong, the less food we have.”
I nodded in affirmation. “Yes. Even when I checked, it seemed that if I wrote the wrong number in the blank, the reward I could get from the next room would be reduced.”
I set it like that.
“As expected, right? That’s what we figured out. But how could Princess have left so much food…?”
That’s because I never got it wrong. However, I didn’t say it, noticing the imperial wizards, who seemed to have suffered terribly.
“I guess I had enough food because I solved the problem by myself.”
No matter how much it was, the rooms I solved were too full of food. The imperial wizards said, “Is that so? With a not-so-refreshing look. Sometimes, hiding the truth was beneficial to mental health.
They detailed what had happened over the past five days. When the imperial wizards encountered a number board they had never seen before, they failed completely because they couldn’t even know the rules.
“Then I realized that every 3×3 square has the numbers from 1 to 0, and 8 horizontal and vertical rows have the numbers 1 to 9 written without overlapping.”
Realizing the rules and solving the problems were two different things. The imperial wizards said that even if they managed to solve the problem and move on to the next room, only enough food was left to feed 10 people. Even when they were hungry, the vicious cycle of solving the problem became more and more difficult, and now he was in a state of desperation.
“I thought we were going to do it like this, but Princess appeared. Isn’t this God’s arrangement?”
Not at all.
