Before diving the dungeon gate, the law requires that you be identified at the entrance to the facility. It was then common practice for pre-dungeon Resident Self-Defense Officers to read the Alliance's application in advance.

Read through some items such as duration of dungeon stay, number of people, purpose, etc., to see if Raid leader is mistaken.

Finally, each person will be presented with an ID to see if there are any differences from the application form. For students like Tenge and Asahi Mist, you will receive a student ID from Japanese Explorer High School, and a professional Explorer will present a dedicated license card.

Once that's over, you'll be officially allowed to enter the dungeon.

"--So, everyone at [Chariot]. Be careful!

From the entrance of the facility to the courtyard inside the wall, there was a huge black dungeon gate sitting right in front of him. It feels like I'm looking up right under the Skytree.

There are many self-defense officers guarding the courtyard, and there is some strict atmosphere.

When 34 raids appear there, everyone's gaze gathers. They walk to the dungeon gate with such a majestic expression.

And a self-defense officer saluted.

Looks like they dropped us off at the Tenge's raid party.

Using the self-defense salute as a cue, the Explorers dive through the gate with their unconvinced, plain expressions.

There is a strange black liquid oil film like ink between the gates, but everyone knows that it is harmless. It was just a slightly warm liquid, and many Explorers had that impression.

The first leader this time, the Five Ways, continues with 14 regular members of Chariot.

Soon afterwards, Inagaki also dived through the gate, and other Explorers entered silently.

Finally, two people with luggage enter.

Tenge had a slender expression, and the morning mist forced his face into the gate with tension for the first time.

† † †

― ― Inside the Ochanomizu dungeon.

There was a grey cobbled dungeon with beautiful paved feet.

The walls and ceilings are paved with similar stone and even show signs of being deliberately laid out.

The entrance area was wide enough that about twelve cars could pass side-by-side.

Floating at equal intervals by the wall is a warm light bulb that illuminates the dungeon. It illuminates the Explorer's path very well and keeps his vision at all times.

If you move your nose, there is a slight smell of earthiness and iron, and a slight beast smell comes through your nose.

All 34 had arrived safely ahead of such a dungeon gate.

Upon confirming the complexion of all, the Five Paths exhaled a relieved breath.

"Okay, nobody could have randomly metastasized it."

"Masaki-san, I wonder if there is a random transfer once a year."

I see. But this is the only time I'm scared. If I notice through the gate, I don't like it when there's nobody around. "

Haha, the laughter echoed inside the dungeon.

Random metastasis is a rare phenomenon in the world that can be randomly transferred somewhere in a dungeon after passing a dungeon gate.

Looking at the world, it's not as frequent as it is reported once a year, but it's certainly a phenomenon of fear among Explorers.

This is because the fatality rate of Explorers involved in random metastases exceeds 90%.

"Now, let's go! For the time being, I'll get used to the shoulder routine, and I'll spin the battle on a team basis. At first, we're chariots."

Oh.

"Okay, let's make some money!

Well, if it's Mr. Godo's raid, I can fight with confidence.

"Students can look at our backs and learn!

As soon as they spoke of their thoughts, they began to move forward with their familiar steps.

There are five rows of six people in the basic formation of medium-sized raids.

It is a line in which six people are arranged in a row, and they are arranged in five rows, with moderate spacing. A team in this case refers to a row of six people, who will be saving each other's lives as one team.

The total number of participants in this raid is 34.

Among them, Inagaki, a student as an auxiliary explorer, joined the team in the second row, and only that team had an exceptional composition of seven people to face the monster.

Other students, Tenji and Asami, were in the most vulnerable position between the fourth and fifth rows.

The remaining one often chooses a senior explorer who acts alone as a veteran or mentor.

The aim is to reduce the rate of raid injuries by detecting traps and monsters further ahead than the front row.

A veteran was also selected for this raid, accompanied by a woman named Numata (Unoya) Narita (Ma), who has a three-tier talent "Bandit Leader" belonging to Chariot.

There was a reason for them to be reassured, other than the reason for the formation of the tablet.

It is the existence of a man named Five Ways, who is the leader this time.

"... three Purple Dogs are coming from the front! After the algal rock gets tagged, Oyama snipers! Kanda is magic! The right castle is the worst! Get used to your shoulders!

Oops!

"Bye!

Ok!

"Leave it to me!

The second-class vocation of the Five Ways [Commander] was excellent in terms of "directing".

There were several command system abilities, such as the ability to instantly aggregate battlefield information by sharing the five senses with friends, "five senses synchronization", "command communication" that can give instructions without using words, and "language inspiration" that activates the adrenaline of friends by inspiring words.

He also had a Buff ability to increase his allies' Talents to their max. Skill "Talent Enhancement" provides beneficial effects commensurate with the abilities of allies. If you're a shield, you can increase your defenses, if you're a magician, you can increase your magic power, if you're a bowman, you can increase your arrow power and ejection speed, and if you're a sword, you can increase your weapon sharpness.

That was why the Five Ways enjoyed full trust.

Fighting with him makes me feel stronger than usual, so my brain mistakenly thinks I'm doing great.

"Wow... this is a professional explorer."

The morning mist raised his loving voice as if he were seeing a longing entertainer, and he looked forward to his battle.

With the beneficial effect of the five roads, I saw something like green hot air rising from the four named bodies.

So a giant man with a large silver shield - Takashi Yaiwa, 28 years old, a hobby to raise cats - shook a shield on the ground with Dochin.

When he took a big breath, he shouted out to provoke his enemies.

"'Induction'!

A red ripple spreads through the air from the mouth, vibrating enough to shake the wall. And the silver shield glowed pale.

The light of the Great Shield attracts the Monster's gaze naturally, turning all enemies into algal rocks.

The Purple Dog is a monster about the size of a golden retriever, covered in purple fur. From the gap in his mouth, he saw jagged teeth, and his eyes glowed purple.

Purple, that is, Purple Dog's Monster Grade is "Grade Five."

For them, it's an outrageous and preparatory exercise.

"Oyama, Kanda!

So the Five Ways waved the command.

Yuki Oyama, 22 years old, who was holding a bow behind her team, was heartbroken when she pulled the arrow and let go.

The green tree that gushed out of the body of the mountain climbed onto the arrow and penetrated Purple Dog's unity at a speed that students like Tenge could not follow at all.

Shortly before he could raise his voice, the enemy had half of his body cut off.

As you fall to the ground, your body gradually hardens to purple.

Almost at the same time, the rod that the magician often had glowed strongly.

Ayaka Kanda - 20 years old, a crazy woman, and Mutsumi - turned the tip of the rod toward one enemy and finished a simple chant.

"'Windblade'!

The surrounding wind gathered around the rod, creating a white wind crystal. It deformed into a single wind blade in such a short time that it blinked and was released.

"Khun!?

Purple Dog's body was cut in half from the side.

Whether the monster falls to the ground or not, it hardens its body to purple.

"Algal rock! Right castle!"

"Oops!

The last remaining Purple Dog rushed into the algal shield.

Algae sees it in advance and activates skills simultaneously with collision to gauge timing.

"'Counter Push'!

Don, the monster that hit him is blown away in a big way as his posture is greatly depressed. A man approached the nearby ground in a hurry.

The man was a handsome explorer with a light blue serpentine sword, Yesuke Mikagi - 26 years old, a pervert she loved.

"Algal rock! Nice!"

The right castle smashed Purple Dog in half in the air.

It was obvious from Tenji's eyes that it was a swordsmanship with speed and power that seemed roughly unthinkable to human movement.

― ― A naturally awarded Explorer is not an equal human being.

That's what some critic said.

Of course, the critic heard that he was burned repeatedly and banished from the industry.

But everyone knew. A naturally awarded Explorer is dozens and dozens of times stronger.

In a paper published by an American research institute, the results of these calculations are described.

When the physical ability of a professional athlete is set to 1.

Seekers with five grades of talent are "2", "6" for the fourth grade, "20" for the third grade, and "40" for the second grade.

Every member of Chariot who has just fought has a rank of three or more.

This is because one of Chariot's subscription conditions is "Grade 3 or above".

So they have more than 20 times the strength of normal people.

"Wow, everybody looks good!

Well then, I'm with Mr. Godo. There's nothing wrong with it. "

"Really, I feel like I can do it many times as much as I always do!

"Hahaha, how many times is too much to say. At most, it's about 1.2 times the usual."

Later, there were three monsters with hardened bodies. After a few minutes, the body turned into a small purple jewel of about 500 yen.

They retrieved it and deposited it in a luggage carrying tenge.

This is a gem that explains why Explorers keep lurking in the dungeon.

After a monster dies, there is a 50% chance that the body will start to harden and eventually become a small gem about 1cm in diameter. It is a very prominent source of energy for the next generation, and it was discovered 22 years ago that just dipping in water produces enormous amounts of energy.

Without any harmful substances, energy efficiency has never been comparable.

This gem - Magic Ore "Makoseki" - has gained prominence in various directions, including military use, space use, natural development use, and warming measures.

Of course, the higher the monster's rank, the more energy efficient it is, and the higher it buys.

This Magic Ore is a very important source of funding for average Explorers, so it is recommended to take it back as soon as possible.

This raid is no exception, and the collection work was planned to be carried out one by one due to the stance that "I will take what I can take home".

And...

They sail down the dungeon in the wind.

† † †

- Day two.

They had reached the fifteenth level of purpose.

"You're doing well."

"Well, that's Mr. Godo's raid party. It's strange that things don't go well."

Chariot's face was also concerned that they could do more than usual, and the air was only a little loose.

No... maybe it was loose.

Until then...
