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

sounds pretty, but underneath it all, Lilly and other supporters just carry the bags. Compared to the brave adventurers fighting monsters on the front lines, we’re just cowards who watch from a safe distance and reap the rewards of battles that we didn’t fight in. We’re no better than parasites.”
    Given that just by going into the Dungeon, supporters were exposed to the same level of danger as adventurers, Lilly’s speech wasn’t necessarily true. Still, she continued without any hesitation.
    “It is arrogant for Lilly and other supporters to think that they are equal to adventurers. The brave adventurers won’t allow it. If Lilly tries, then the honorable adventurers get angry and won’t give Lilly her share.”
    “Th-that’s horrible…!”
    “Lilly knew Mr. Bell was a good person as soon as we met. But there has to be a line. If word got out that Lilly wasn’t treating Mr. Bell as a superior, Lilly won’t get any contracts to go into the Dungeon with adventurers other than Mr. Bell from now on. Lilly would have to work for free.”
    “……”
    Bell had his own morals, and they weren’t about to change. However, he couldn’t speak for other adventurers.
    Something that seemed wrong to him might very well be common sense to someone else.
    “It might be hard for Mr. Bell, but can you accept Lilly’s request? Think of it as helping Lilly.”
    “…Sure thing, Lilly.”
    “Thank you very much!”
    Bell gave in. If it meant helping Lilly, he had no choice but to ignore his own trivial opinions.
    He decided that he would talk to her like a friend around his age rather than a business partner.
    “On an unrelated note…Is Mr. Bell really a newbie adventurer? Lilly can’t believe Mr. Bell slew all of those monsters alone…”
    Lilly stopped working on the monster in front of her and counted the dead bodies with her tiny fingers.
    If she counted the monsters already turned to ash, Bell slew four killer ants, three purple moths, and five needle rabbits, for a total of twelve monsters.
    Leaving out the human-sized killer ants, the remaining monsters were all classified as “small,” so it wasn’t that difficult for adventurers to take on all of them.
    But the icing on the cake was that Bell slew them all alone. Lilly couldn’t look at him the same way after seeing what he could do.
    “Yes, I won. But they almost had me more than a few times…”
    “Mr. Bell is fighting by himself, so of course that’s going to happen. Most distinguished adventurers like you come into the Dungeon in a party of three or more, you know? They don’t want to fight solo down here.”
    “That’s because they don’t want to, right? Doesn’t mean they couldn’t do it. There are tons of Level One adventurers who are stronger than me, too.”
    “That…may be true.”
    “You’ve accompanied many parties into the Dungeon, right Lilly? So you’ve seen adventurers who are much stronger than me.”
    “…Yes. Lilly has seen adventurers stronger than Mr. Bell…”
    “So, I’ve still got a long way to go.”
    Lilly looked up at a grimacing Bell with frustrated confusion. He had completely missed her point.
    There were, in fact, solo adventurers who prowled the Dungeon on their own. However, Lilly wanted to know if Bell had really only started the job less than a month ago.
    Common knowledge said that Level One adventurers could conquer lower levels one to twelve.
    To put it in terms of which levels were appropriate for which statuses,adventurers with a status of
I
or
H
could work in levels one through four,
G
and
F
in five through seven,
E
through
C
in eight to ten, and
B
through
S
in levels eleven and twelve.
    However, this was merely the received wisdom. Level Two category monsters would appear beginning with level thirteen and below, so it was generally accepted that Level One adventurers had no hope of clearing any of those floors.
    If one were asked to state the average level of an adventurer in Orario, the
