"I drank too much ...... and my headache won't go away.

"...... po, a potion.

Yes, please. It's very unusual for a leader to drink so much, let alone Mr. Kaido.

You will definitely experience this in the future, so remember, you can't refuse your boss's drink.

I'll remember that.

You will be able to find a lot more information on the subject, and you will be able to find a lot more information on the subject.

It's the otherworldly liquor that can invade your enhanced body.

It's unclear how much of it was drunk, but judging from the horror of the situation, it's hard to say how much.

You'll shudder at the sight of it, but that's about it.

You knew when you tried to go to bed that you had drunk too much, but when you woke up after falling asleep, you found yourself with a nasty hangover and a headache.

But even under such circumstances, he could not rest and went to work.

Rather than the spirit of a businessman, he simply thought that there was no way I would take a break like that, and half out of desperation, he gave it up.

I arrived at the party room on time.

But that was it.

Soon after, I sit on the couch in the living room and mentally exhaust myself.

Kaido, the same victim you retrieved on the way to the party, is sitting across from you, prostrate at the desk provided, reaching into the void.

It was our mom, Masaru, who answered the question.

You gulp down the potion in the cup in front of me as I put my hand to my forehead and gestured as if I had a headache.

We're coming back to life.

That's right.

And a potion to be thankful for

I drank it like some kind of nutritional drink, and then I felt refreshed and refreshed, just like the commercial over-expression.

The effect was immediate.

I think I should keep a potion in my room from now on, thinking that this will be no problem for work.

Does the headache go away?

"Oh, bother you.

"No problem. I'm used to taking care of the south.

I see.

I'm sure you're more concerned about your lack of sleep due to the all-nighter than drinking, and that's what you need to worry about.

You should be thankful to Katsumi for putting away the cup you drank from the cup, but it is very thorough and thorough.

Now that you're feeling better, let's talk about today's work.

"It's a bug again, right?

Of course.

"I'm bored - let's go somewhere else once in a while.

"Don't complain, try another dungeon report without a proper report.

"What's going to happen?

"I'm going to be blown away by the supervisor.

"Wow.

Or maybe he'll read my report at absolute zero.

"For me, though, I'd appreciate the dungeons now.

"Do you like bugs and stuff, Masaru?

No, it's just about the same as anyone else, but it's more money than the dungeons I've been in, and it'll help with the family budget.

"You're so serious, Masaru.

No, it's not.

"......

Kaido to Katsu's words, I'm going to be a little more careful," he said, inspiring himself.

However, I know the reason for such a solid financial sense of Katsu's and adopted him, so I have no words to reply.

The reason for this is also unusual but I've heard of it before - a family situation.

If you ask me if I've ever had any feelings about it, I can't say no.

But I don't think it's right to say that it's hard for me to feel sorry for you.

That's why I'm going to consult with him when he asks for advice.

Hey, Kaido. Don't sit around and get ready.

"Yes, sir.

I'm going to go get ready too.

So if Katsura himself doesn't say anything, I'll just go about my daily life.

Your attitude may be taken as cold, but some people may find it more painful to be treated like a boil.

If that's the case, it's better to treat it like a normal person.

I think Masaru is a case in point.

I followed Kaido into the changing room and watched Katsu's back as he walked into the changing room, thinking that the world is inevitable.

High school kids are so disciplined these days.

On the other hand, I'm more interested in high school students who are solid and serious than adults.

You should learn from them, and although I'm not Kaido, I have to get my act together, too, so I walk into the changing room late.

After making such a resolution in your heart, it's time to work.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!

Cut down the praying mantis vertically to end the battle with the group.

You can check your surroundings for moving or hiding individuals, but the last one just now seems to be the last.

Sheng, please treat Kaido!

"Itte, I'm screwed.

I'll treat you now.

"Please.

Even with defense, there is still damage, albeit through armor.

I will instruct Katsu to treat the wounded Kaido.

Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye on the perimeter.

But, again, there is a difference in the balance of combat between having a healer and not having one.

Kaido and I had a much more durable party than the one we had with me and Kaido, where both of us ran through the battle caring about the distribution of our strength and injuries.

I'm the one who fights at the front, acting as a shield for the party.

The ability to make up for the loss of strength is not only physically, but also mentally.

It's been less than two hours since we entered the dungeon with this thought in mind again.

Thanks to the fact that I had mapped out a shallow area to explore, I was able to easily go deeper.

However, the strength of the enemies has steadily increased.

The numbers have increased and the strength of individuals are on a different level from one soul to the next.

That praying mantis was huge!

Oh, it's one size bigger than ever before. Win, can you step in deeper into position?

I'm sure of it. Considering the strength of the demon you just saw, I think it's proof that we've been able to go deeper. ...... Done.

"Thank you!

As you can see from the current position of the praying mantis attacked by the courageous praying mantis, while having Katsu heal your shoulders with magic, you can see that you have been able to go deeper than ever before.

A new record.

We knew that the deeper you go, the stronger the enemy becomes, but this neighborhood is still manageable.

"Okay, can you go, Kaido?

"I'm fine, I'm fine! It's not a problem.

You nod to Kaido, who turns his shoulder to tell you that the damage has been healed, and look in the next direction of your path.

'Let's move, I'm sure my skills will attract other enemies to me.

Scream of the Monkey King is a skill that makes your enemies flinch, but it also has the effect of attracting enemies instead.

I'm thinking about how to improve my skills, which are still difficult to use.

But there is no time to think slowly.

In the last battle, you definitely used the Scream to let the enemies around you know where we are.

We'll figure out how to improve our skills after we return, but it's best to move out of here as soon as the healing is done.

As we are fighting, we have decided that it will not be a problem to go a little further in, and we will go further in.

And although from a distance, we found a slightly larger cave.

Is that a ...... army ant nest?

It seems so.

"Wow, this place is crawling with them.

Body enhancements by the magic crests enhance our eyesight over the natives who spend time on the savannah.

The distance is over a hundred meters.

If you hide behind a tree and peer ahead, you can see at least a dozen giant ants strolling through the open plaza.

The question is, is that the entrance to the dungeon: ...... What do you think?

I don't know.

"Sorry, me too.

"Of course.

At this distance, you can have a normal conversation without being noticed, but just in case, you'll whisper.

The trouble with half-dungeons is that you can disguise the entrance to your home base (dungeon) by scattering it across the field in this way.

On the other hand, the scale of the labyrinth is said to be reduced in terms of dungeon production costs.

The problem is that the entrance to the ants' nest is the entrance to the dungeon.

Even if you enter the ants' nest, there is no guarantee that the dungeon core is beyond it.

And moreover, I don't think they would have made such a deadly entrance to such a shallow area.

It's probably not a good idea.

But it hurts that we can't be sure.

Sheng, put it on the map.

I understand.

"What do you want to do, senpai, go into that hole?

"......

I don't have a quick answer.

I have a half-formed answer, but I'll think about it for a moment.

"I'm not going to do it. I'll find a way around.

But the conclusion remains the same.

The risk is too great.

Kaido shows a relieved expression at such a decision.

You don't want to rush into that swarm of ants with this crew, as you would expect.

After smiling as if relieved, he shifted his gaze to watch his surroundings, but his eyes widened and he held his mouth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!

Then a scream that didn't amount to a shout came pouring out of Kaido's mouth as he held it through his equipped leather gloves.

While admiring Kaido's risk management for quickly suppressing the scream, you're curious why he made such a gesture all of a sudden.

I forcefully look in the direction Kaido is pointing in.

It's...

"It's not bugs,

"Rare monsters!

The reason for Kaido's excitement was immediately apparent.

A mysterious object, like a lump of jewels floating in unnatural air in this area that is no exaggeration to say a paradise for insects.

Emeralds, sapphires, and rubies, a collection of gemstones in the seven colors of emeralds, sapphires, and rubies, flew about unguarded with dull eyes.

Seeing them, I was convinced that I could catch them.

As far as I can see, besides the flashy, large gemstones, there are other gems embedded in the rocky crevices of the body, a shining gold object, which is definitely pure gold if the rumors don't lie.

Even to the untrained eye, there is no doubt that the price of that thing, which is a little bigger than a basketball, would be considerable.

The company is excited.

Seeing the real thing I'll tell you honestly what I thought.

It is unknown whether it uses magic or skills in combat, but at first glance it seems to be weak.

It's a duck walking with a leek on its back.

I can't imagine how much it would cost to prepare one that would be at the bottom of the food chain pyramid.

And you would get a glimpse of the danger that would be in its nature.

I have a feeling that if I move my gaze to the next side looking at that hunk of jewelry, the headache that would have gone away will come back.

But you can't avoid looking at it, so you have no choice but to shift your gaze to the side, and sure enough, there is Kaido, whose eyes are marked with a $ sign.

Huh ...... let's get out of here!

"Wait. Let's kill the leader.

"Win, you too?

I let out a sigh at the sight of Kaido, who doesn't betray my expectations.

There's a military ant nest right under your nose, and even more ants around that flying treasure.

It's obvious that this is going to be a problem for sure.

It's a shame, but you think you have no choice but to give up and try to get out of there.

However, unfortunately, even Katsu, who is usually a stopper, was willing to take it.

No, he was ready to kill it.

The way he carefully reapplied his armed gloves was like an assassin.

"Just try, just try.

"Leader, life is a challenge

He won't listen to anything I say anymore.

If so, it might be better to try and get hurt here so that it won't hurt your future dungeon attacks.

Don't chase it too far. Don't pursue it too far.

"Yes.

I really thought there was no way around it, and I did my best to do it.

I'm going to pull the mineral tree out of my back and carry it on my shoulder.

I'm about fifty meters away from the target.

That's about three seconds away if I run as fast as I can.

The opponent appears to be moving at about the same speed as a man walking, but that depends on what happens if it's in a combat situation.

I calculate that and choose the tactic with the best chance of victory.

Cut off its retreat path, take it out with a single blow, and leave immediately. I'll hold the front door in the direction we're going. You're two ways behind.

"Yes, sir.

"Yes.

At a time like this, it would be a little easier if Minami were here, but there's no point in asking for something that isn't there.

This is the best way to play with our cards.

We'll hold them off in three directions, cut off their retreat, and play short bursts of battle without interruption.

Let's go.

With that word, we run as fast as we can.

We sprint through the trees, keeping our footsteps to a minimum.

There's no way we can silence all the sounds.

Ten meters to go, the other team will see us.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. !!!!

"Sirens!

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The high-pitched sound of the jewel shining and reverberating around the area surprises Katsu, but the moment I stepped in, I let out a yell from the bottom of my stomach to cancel out the siren.

The muscles in your body transmit a sensation as if they have become powerful springs to all your nerves, preparing you for a stance where you can swing down at your target with all your might.

A moment passes in less than a second.

There's no more time to box them in.

Quickly, before anyone else.

I'll just step in and swing the mineral tree down thinking about delivering this blow.

The blow, executed without a second thought from stepping in to swinging down, has convinced my mind that there was nothing better.

Gakin!

But contrary to expectations, there was a sound there, contrary to belief.

The mineral tree that had been hit so surely with sparks was being caught by a hard body.

Is it too shallow?

All I could do was to let the momentum carry the target, who would never stop sirening, blow him away.

Withdraw!

"!

It's only part of the surface that was cut.

It's not at my level to take it down with a slash.

Only a moment's crossing made it clear.

The only way to pursue it any further is to face the future when the monster horde comes after me.

I wonder how the other parties managed to defeat an opponent that neither my all-out effort nor Kaido's magic nor Sheng's Fist would have defeated, and I run in the opposite direction from the army of ants seen at the edge of my vision.

"I'm not even close!

You look like you're having fun! We've been here before!

I know! Get out of my way!

You'll find the enemy drawn to you by the sound you heard earlier, of course.

Feeling frustration similar to joy at the enemy this time, which exposed your inexperience following your business trip, you cut down the moth that flew at you to open up a blood trail.

Behind them, Katsu and Kaido followed.

I cut down the moths, Kaido burns them with magic, and Katsu beats them down.

I will run to the safe zone as fast as I can without thinking about pacing.

I felt that I was weak and was confronted with an area of improvement before the dungeon.
