Chapter 132: 128 It would be convenient if I could feel the signs

Just because we got the nails doesn't change what we're going to do.

At the reception desk, where Amilicia will be in charge, you'll be filling out the paperwork to become an adventurer.

It's written on a cursory paper compared to Japan, but that doesn't mean we have to go through the hassle of confirming the contents.

I'll check to see if there are any details that will hurt us.

It's a habit to do that even in other worlds.

It's a pretty simple contract, if you sum it up.

Injury in the dungeon is at your own risk and you are not insured if you die, but you will be disqualified if you don't complete a certain number of requests within a month.

There's a special case, but it's not your problem right now.

Is that how it works?

It's rough, but it's not wrong. And you should take good care of it because it's a magical instrument of that size.

As I was fiddling with the Adventurer's Guild's union card I received after summarizing and reviewing what I had read, Amyricia warned me with her eyes.

"Yes, sir.

I'll pay you a gold coin if you break it, okay don't break it! If you really break it in our current situation, we'll be merciless in collecting it!

It looks like a metal plate made of iron about the size of a car license with no writing, let alone a picture of your face, but when you pour your magic power into it, the words are projected onto the empty space.

There's my face taken with a crystal ball that could be used for fortune-telling, a simple profile underneath, and lastly, the Adventurer's Guild guarantees my identity.

It's not a bad idea for a dungeon explorer under the control of the Demon King, who we've only heard about through rumors, to be so carefree.

You will only get tired and inefficient if you strain yourself unnecessarily. Relaxing in moderation is part of the job. I learned that at my last job.

Although Amilicia has been warned about the lack of tension, she seems to be playing it off at random, but she's keeping a certain line of tension tightly in place.

Even if you're caught by surprise now, you won't be sunk in a single blow unless you're in the instructor class.

Are you sure you're okay?

"I know you recruited me because you thought you could handle it, but I took you up on it because it was convenient for us, that's all.

Yes, but can't you do something about it?

I'd think twice if it weren't for the receptionist who said she'd use it with impunity.

"U

It's not possible for the foxes in front of you to see through my state of mind, and Amyricia, who only knows that I'm a competent person who has accomplished the overrunning of the explorer's guild, is a bit anxious and confirms it, but she doesn't know enough about the contents of this dungeon to guarantee that.

So naturally, the response is also a bit crude.

You will be able to see that you are not satisfied with the answer or perhaps the frustration Amilicia expressed with her eyes and told to wrap it up in an obtuse manner, but if you tell her that we were the first to be confronted with unwrapped words, she will be silent.

"Does this let you into the dungeon?

Yes, but only through the entrance controlled by the Adventurer's Guild, so be careful. But you can only get in and out through the entrance controlled by the Adventurer's Guild, so be careful. And, needless to say, the guild won't be able to help you in case of any trouble in the dungeon.

I know.

"After! Pick up whatever demons are in the depths! I'll buy you outright.

"Hey, hey.

Now we're finally ready.

Answering Amilicia's voice behind my back, I left the Adventurer's Guild with Myt and Gray, who registered with me.

If you think about it from a distance, it should be about four days and three nights.

"That's what happens when you dive straight in.

From the experience of two people who have been there and back, I thought it would take less time than I thought.

The fact that the defense is malfunctioning naturally means that the risk is reduced from the point of view of those who are going in.

It's just more convenient.

It will still take time, but that's inevitable.

However dysfunctional it may be, it's still a dungeon.

It's going to take work to take it on.

That's why Mr. Gray's store has supplies ready for it.

It may not be helpful to you, but I've spent some time camped out in the dungeon with Instructor Kio.

There's nothing to be nervous about.

Do you have a guild card?

"Oh, is that right?

Yeah, no problem. The searchers have been acting weird lately. It's not just the monsters you need to watch out for, but them as well. It's our job to run when we feel unsafe.

"Okay, thanks for the tip.

"Have a good adventure.

The entrance to the dungeon is hidden from the explorer's guild and is located about a quarter of the way around the dome.

I showed the werewolf who was guarding the gate there the guild card that allowed me to pass my magic, and I was easily able to enter.

You can understand how unusual the explorer's guild's response is.

By the way, the Adventurer's Guild has the familiar ranks.

There are seven ranks from A to G.

There is also an S rank, which literally means Special.

As the name suggests, it is a title given to adventurers who specialize in something.

For example, an adventurer who boasts unparalleled strength against insects but is inferior to the average adventurer against other monsters.

An adventurer who is two steps inferior to the average adventurer in terms of fighting ability, but is unrivaled when it comes to gathering medicinal herbs, and has an outstanding ability to avoid battle.

So it's naturally difficult to deal with, but that's not the case now.

And usually the rank represents a trustworthiness.

It is a measure of an adventurer's ability from a third party's point of view: if this adventurer is trustworthy, then he should be able to accomplish this task.

A is the most trustworthy and G is the least trustworthy, which is easy to understand.

This rating is mainly based on the percentage of requests accomplished, but other factors such as rumors and attitude are also included in the evaluation.

If you are rough and careless with money, your rank will naturally be difficult to raise.

If you're good enough to cover this, you can do well up to a certain level, but it's only up to a certain level.

Even if you can do the job, whether or not you can be entrusted with a big job is a common item in today's society where personality and ability are looked at.

From the perspective of the adventurer's guild that manages the trade association's requests, it's a natural system.

But if you say that G-ranked material is not good enough to go for high-ranking materials, that's a no.

If that's the case, then I can't go down to the depths.

Then there would be no advantage to becoming an adventurer.

Rank is just a guide for taking requests and it doesn't matter what rank you are when it comes to getting materials.

As Amilicia said, the Adventurer's Guild can only control the outside of the dungeon.

Your actions inside the dungeon are entirely at your own risk.

You are responsible for your own actions inside the dungeon. You are responsible for your own safety and fame, or you can target the big boys and make a name for yourself.

Now, I've gone on at length, but what I'm going to say is...

Hey!

You are responsible for running through the dungeon and slaughtering the enemies at your own risk.

I'll have the spirit of Might's spirit search the perimeter and map out our destination, while Mr. Gray will escort her and I will take down the enemy with his assistance.

Less than an hour after entering, there is currently nothing to block us from advancing into the depths without hesitation.

It looks like that's the guardian of the three levels. Shall we continue on to the next level?

We'll get the material back.

Please. By the way, both Mr. Gray's magic bag and Mr. Meit's genie are really useful.

It's still useful to be able to scatter small firefly light grains in all directions to find a way down to the lower levels.

Normally there would be a monster to defeat that spirit, but in such a shallow layer, there is no such thing.

Mr. Gray is Mr. Gray, and he has a strong merchant's spirit, or perhaps he stores the materials of the defeated monsters in a magic bag that he prepared.

Ever since I entered the dungeon, I've been storing the loot of defeated monsters, but I still don't see the limit.

Our smallest magic bag cost about as much as a new car, but with this capacity, you'd think you could buy one in a castle.

"It's not for everyone, but when it comes to assisting you, it's very versatile. I'm very good at this.

"Huh.

Jiro, you should ask Suera to teach you how to sign up with a genie. It will help you.

I will.

The collection is done.

Thank you. How much more room in the bag?

"There's still plenty of room. Don't worry, we'll make the adjustments.

"Please, shall we go then? I'd like to make some progress today.

"Oh.

I understand.

The shallow layers I could handle with ease and we were off again.

We can cut down the enemies along the way with a single sword, so I'd say our journey is going well.

The hierarchical guardians (bosses) in question at this stage will revive after a certain amount of time, but their revival cycle is also set to be long due to malfunctioning, so once they are defeated, an empty space is always created for a while.

As a result, it is more rare to encounter them, and they are easily taken down.

In addition, thanks to Mait's genie, you don't have to worry about directions or surprise attacks, and you can avoid contact with other adventurers and explorers who you know are in trouble beforehand.

Since most of the traps have been defeated by past adventurers and explorers, you are safe as long as you do not tamper with the treasure chest.

So to get around those elements, it's a bit of a detour.

"Phew, that was quite a dive, but where are we now?

"We're just entering the lower levels. There's a nice place just up ahead where we can rest.

"Mm.

But even after doing all that and fighting the monsters further down the layers to see how strong they were, I was still fast enough to proceed safely and still be able to proceed as planned.

Even now, you are taking a break from your surroundings to find a place where you can secure your safety by being on guard and warding off spirits.

Get the ingredients and utensils out of Mr. Gray's bag, finish a simple meal, and then take a nap in turns.

When everyone is rested, we'll go down again.

And so on.

Song?

Since I was in charge of the battle, I was allowed to rest first, and I went to sleep like this, but I found myself standing in a dark space.

You were careful not to fall deeply asleep in a dangerous place, but you were more tired than you thought, or maybe you were dreaming.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to hear and feel the song.

The dream, in which you just keep listening to what you know is a song in the dark without knowing the lyrics, awakens with a sensation as something shiny in front of you twinkles, as if your gaze meets with something else.

!

Mm, just in time. I was just about to wake you up. What's going on?

I reached out my hand and tried to shake me up, Mr. Gray.

Something so real lingered in me that I wondered if it was really a dream, and I couldn't shake it, and Mr. Gray worried about me, but...

But it was nothing.

I was to reply that it was nothing.

Word of the Day

I'm not sure whether to report the uncertainty.
