Episode XI: Return and Rest

Open your eyes.

Then the sunset appeared in my eyes.

Where am I?

What did I do in the first place?

…… remembered.

To become Rank 5, he fought and finished the Emperor Dragon, the boss of the Goddess's Bonus Dungeon.

I then lost my mind without withstanding the load when I got to Rank 5.

The fact that I'm safe like this means that Kuna and Anne should be safe too.

"Anne, Sauji, you're up!

"Yes, that's good. I was worried because I suddenly fell down."

I had a soft feeling on the back of my head and I thought it smelled strangely good and it seems that Kuna was wearing a knee pillow for me.

Kuna's knee pillow is excellent. It smells good, and the way the meat is attached is ideal and I can't wait.

Looking around, a powerful hole in the shape of a rind that fought the Emperor Dragon.

Looks like he was resting here.

The sun is falling. Probably been doing this for five or six hours.

The stairs stretched from the center of the bowl towards the sun.

I guess if we move on with that, we'll move on to the third tier.

There must be demons waiting for them stronger than this hierarchy.

"Kuna, Anne, I want to move on."

"Ugh, hey, I don't agree with that word."

"If you think about a change in the first and second tiers, you're finally rank 5 ahead of you. … I'd like to refrain from doing that."

Seeing the two of you reacting badly, I laugh lightly.

"Sort of. You will die if you continue as you are now. Still, if I have a way ahead, I'd like to go. That's what I think."

In retrospect of the first and second tiers, as Anne puts it, what lies ahead is a hellish floor where Rank 5 shows up as a miscellaneous fish with a bunch of rabbits.

Rank 5 is suicidal with me alone, and I've run out of power and resources.

Still, I guess it's because I'm an explorer who wants to go.

I want to know the unknown, I want to be stronger.

That is the instinct of the Seeker.

"When we get to Rank 5, let's go together"

"…… Kuna, today is the last day. It took four days for the Demon Stone to rank one Sauge, but it's impossible."

"It was!

Unfortunately, time runs out.

There will be no going to the third tier.

"I'm sorry, it's my last day and you're wasting it because of me falling. If I hadn't fallen, I would have collected the demon stones for both of us."

"I have nothing to apologize for. Sauge held on, he defeated that strong dragon!

"We're not down, but we're the ones who ran out of power, aren't we? Even if Sauge doesn't fall, we can't fight any more. So you don't have to worry about it."

That doesn't seem like a word of comfort.

Kuna and Anne also seem to be wearing out in that battle.

I was able to concentrate on the Emperor Dragon because two people around me, including Rank 4, gave me countless opponents.

"Look at that! Bye, it's a lot of demon stones. You'll earn a few days!

"The surroundings that we defeated also dropped the Demon Stone. It was a short battle, but we did everything we could to deal with countless demons, so it was a huge amount. I've earned the most since I came to this hierarchy."

"Sure. Now I can go home with my chest up. I'm in Rank 5 and the two of them are in Rank 4. The purpose was fulfilled. It's too much. But……"

I look up at the dot and reach out my hand toward the sun.

Rightly, beyond the stairs leading to the sun.

"But I still can't give up. If we could get there, we could be rank 6 that no one but Mr. Cyril could get to."

When I said that, Kuna and Anne laughed.

"Sounds like Sauji."

"Yeah, that's how I enjoy it and try to move on. It's like a sausage. I like it."

"But you think that's the two of us, don't you? From now on, the words often make it clear that I want to go if I can."

"Ugh, I can't deny it."

"Sure, you want to go first. There's still a way to be strong, but I regret it's over here."

In imitation of me, they reached out to heaven.

"... Soon, we will return to our original world. But I'll come back someday. Now let's get to the end. Perhaps it would be a good idea to demand the reward of defeating the enemy of the goddess. The goddess said she could only come here once, but after saving the world, that kind of selfishness would be nice, wouldn't it?

It was a word I said somewhat, but unexpectedly I realized it was highly feasible.

Let's actually try it.

"Nice. Good luck then until Anne and I reach Rank 5 on two levels......"

Kuna sees Anne better. Anne takes over after that.

"We all want to be Rank 5, gather enough Demon Stones, defeat three tiers of bosses, and be Rank 6 at the same time."

"I like that. Now I need to ask you to stay more than a week."

I laugh.

Suddenly the sound of the clock began to sound in my head.

Shit, shit, shit. The sound of a second hand.

And then there's a loud noise. The short and long needles moved at the same time.

I kind of figured it out.

This is the out-of-time signal.

The time to stay here is over.

[Metastasis] A unique floating sensation wrapped the body.

I guess I'm going back to the Goddess Mansion.

◇

[Metastasis] is over, eyes open.

Then I was in the mansion of the goddess.

"Sauge, Kuna, Annelotta. Looks like you guys got the power.... I'm surprised you're going to be that strong. I've never heard of Rank 5 in my teens. It's a fake Irlande."

"You're absolutely right. Even players get to Rank 5 most of the time after their twenties are over."

The players use every rank up boost, but they still don't see the rank up so fast.

Not so far from rank 5.

Only with the help of the goddess.

"You three. Do you want to go somewhere?

"Why are we going to the final showdown the day after tomorrow?

We're all exhausted today and we can't get moving.

Rest your body thoroughly tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we're due for a showdown.

I thought it would be amazing in this mansion until the day of the showdown.

"That's why. I hate to say this, but maybe it'll be my last holiday. That's why I want to take the utmost care. I'll send you to the showdown at noon the day after tomorrow, no matter where you are, so you can say whatever you want. Tomorrow, I'll fly that far."

Thankful offer.

Let's accept this favor.

"Kuna, Anne. Do you have anywhere you want to go?

"…… There is only one place."

"Neither do I. Probably where I'm with Kuna."

Kuna and Anne make a meaningful face.

Actually, there was only one place in my head where I wanted to go.

If it's going to be the last supper, it's the only place there.

"The three of us formed [the tail of the Devil's Sword], we want to go to that tavern again"

"Oh, Sauge, it's sloppy. I was trying to tell you."

"I knew we felt the same way."

Returning to a sealed city now is risky.

For once, we've been compromised.

But taking that risk, I wanted to go to that tavern that formed the [Tail of the Devil's Sword].

That's where we come from.

"Okay. Then, if it's tomorrow night, I'll let you [transfer]. I hope you spend as much time in this mansion as you can, because both [bleeding] and magic are drained beyond recovery in a single day. This is [the sanctuary]. It has healing power."

"Let me do that. Until we leave, I'll get you ready here.... I want Orihalcon and blacksmith equipment"

"I'm keeping it from Cyril. That's what you're supposed to say, 'cause he's got a set of materials and equipment."

Was this what Cyril said about another errand?

Damn, he's the one who gets around everywhere.

The former machine spear Vajra was created with Cyril.

If it was my skill at that time and the arithmetic performance of the magic circuit, I couldn't complete it by myself.

But now that it's Rank 5, I can make one.

And I got the idea from the outer shell that Cyril had me make that I broke, and I'm coming up with an improvement.

Let's recreate the outer shell for the final match.

That's what surprises me about that Cyril.

"Oh, let me do that. Make the best spear for me right now."

"Sauge-kun's spear, he's going to run to his hobby again"
