Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Vol. 2 by Fujino Omori

wound on a killer ant.
    “—Gii!”
    “Next!”
    Bell delivered the final blow to the dying monster before yanking the Hestia Knife from its previously slain comrade. He then charged forward into another incoming group of monsters without stopping to catch his breath.
    “Mr. Bell is so strong!!!”
    While Bell tore into his next group of foes, Lilly was busy gathering all of the slain bodies into one spot.
    She was very efficient. Even with a big smile on her face, she was very aware of her surroundings as she dragged the bodies into a line but never let them touch. Wearing specially made brown supporter’s gloves, she grabbed onto the arms and legs of the lifeless beasts and hauled them across the dungeon floor with no problem.
    “Sha!!!”
    “Kyuu?!”
    Thanks to Lilly’s work, Bell didn’t have to worry about footing and slew a needle rabbit with his dagger.
    Bell was a humble person. Even though he possessed the strength to slay a monster in the same class as a killer ant, he wasn’t letting it go to his head. He was following his adviser Eina’s instructions to the letter: Slay the killer ants quickly so that they can’t call for reinforcements. Do whatever it takes to avoid taking on a group by yourself.
    Bell had the entire battle within this wide room firmly within his grasp.
    “—Gushyuuu…!! ShyaaaaaAAAAA!!!!”
    “Yikes!! Mr. Bell! One’s about to be born!”
    One of the dungeon walls had split open; a killer ant’s ominous cries were coming from within.
    Bell responded swiftly to a situation he had encountered countless times before.
    He delivered a finishing blow to the remaining monsters before rushing up to the giant ant attempting to emerge from the crack in the wall.



After sprinting ten meters across the room, Bell leaped skyward and drove his left boot into the beast.
    “One, two…!!!”
    “Guweiii?!”
    Echoes exploded on the kick’s impact.
    Crack!
The ant’s neck shattered. Its lifeless body hung from the side of the wall.
    “Ohh, Mr. Bell, what should we do? That killer ant is stuck up there?”
    “Hmm, what can we do?”
    A bead of sweat ran down Bell’s face as he tried to figure out how to get the ant’s body, which looked like it was too big for a small hole, out of the wall. It was well out of Lilly’s reach, but when she looked up and saw the confused look in Bell’s eyes, she couldn’t help but giggle.
    “Mr. Bell’s very strong, but weird. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!”
    “…Don’t laugh!”
    Realizing how dismal he looked, Bell cracked a small smile, too.
    With the floor almost conquered and the room fully cleared, the two of them set to work on retrieving magic stones.
    But now it was Lilly’s time to shine. All Bell could really do was keep an eye out for any monsters that might try to sneak up on them.
    “Whoa…You’re really good at this…”
    “It’s because this is all Lilly can do to help. Mr. Bell, you slew all of these monsters, so you are the one who is really good.”
    Her experienced hands used a knife to cleanly and efficiently remove only the magic stone from the monster in front of her.
    Her tiny hands moved with speed and precision, opening a small hole in the monster’s chest before its body turned to ash.
    Bell watched her work while thinking about his own woeful way of doing the same task, but decided to comment on something else.
    “…Can I ask you a favor? Could you stop calling me ‘Mr. Bell’?”
    “Sorry, but that won’t do. It goes against the contract, and it shows who is higher ranking in this party. Supporters cannot be condescending to adventurers.”
    “But, Lilliluka…”
    “Mr. Bell, please call Lilly Lilly. Other names are okay too, but not by full name.”
    “Why are you so concerned about names?”
    The third killer ant turned to ash as Lilly looked up at Bell. Her eyes hidden completely by her hood, Lilly forced a smile and said, “Are you listening, Mr. Bell?” before continuing.
    “The word ‘Supporter’
