D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared

"Miyoshi? Are you Azsa?

The bear man heard the name of the woman looking up at him and asked him to confirm it.

Miyoshi nodded lightly and offered her right hand.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Marson. But why are you talking about me?

Marson gripped the hand and said.

Well, none of the foreign explorers who come all the way to Yoyogi don't know modern legends. I didn't think you were such a pretty girl. "

When I heard that, I accidentally blew it out.

"What about him?

"Ah, that rude man is Keigo-Josimura. They're my party members.

Yoshimura?! He's the one?

"Well, do you know him?

I'm still contributing quite a bit to US. Simon told me about him. ”Don't underestimate me."

Marson said that to Miyoshi with a bad wink.

Simon, what are you talking about?

"It's Yoshimura. Because I'm nothing but a G-ranked adventurer."

It's Ransom-Marson. Call me Lance. "

He laughed with a strong grip on my right hand, which was offered to him.

"If G Rank was on the 18th floor, he wouldn't be insulted because he's an anomaly."

"Senpai, he's the King Salmon."

"Seriously?!

It was the chatty man who stood tall with me at the same time.

No, why are you surprised?

"What about him? You guys know each other?

Ah, no, that's not it. I've never seen you before today. "

Hmm.

The chatty man asked the conversation that took place while pointing to himself, feeling like he was talking about something.

"Hey, what are you talking about?

"No, who are you?"

"Oh, so?

"I've never met anyone before today, and I don't know who they are."

"You don't know me?!

Was he famous?

No, I wonder if that big guy was involved because he said he was at the front desk of Nishiki.

So, aside from Azsa's party members?

No, just him, but what?

Well then, it's about him. In Indo-European social circles, they call me a wizard, you. "

Yes?

All of a sudden, that's what happened to me.

Why are we famous overseas when we're being asked to stop traveling abroad?

Senpai, if you keep your purity until you're thirty years old... it will hurt!

If I'd been on guard, he'd have said it! I stuck a chop in Miyoshi's head and shut her up.

"Did you do something to Mr. Armed's daughter? Over there, it seems that the wizards have spread the word that they saved us, and those who left the line due to their injuries, their employers, and ultimately those who want to regain their youth, are looking forward to a chance to get to know the Japanese wizards."

Yeah?

My daughter, who was rumored to be irrecoverable due to the accident, completely regained her beauty and debuted to the social world. I can't hide anything from her. When asked about it, Mr. Ahmed won't say anything except that he met the wizard and got help. On the contrary, rumors have never grown. "

Speaking of which, have you been told something similar to Monica before? I didn't know what it was, but it was this!

Asha, I'm glad you're doing well.

I'm sure that's good... but I don't think that's what's going on. But how did you know it was just us?

Well, I got a sickle.

Haha?!

Lance explains with a smile that it's definitely a big rumor over there and that he wants to get in touch with the wizard.

And it seems to be known that the second auction took place and that an orb called "super recovery" was placed there as an incident during Mr. Ahmed's visit to Japan.

But she was in an accident long before the dungeon was born. His desire to have his daughter get a D-card is famous in part for being thrown at by the armies of various countries. "

Well, in that essay, I think I'm going to go straight to the great guy.

It would be helpless to stand out to some extent.

So, everyone suspected that super recovery had been used, but they couldn't grasp conclusive evidence. However, it was refreshing to realize that it was.

Simon, Lance, they're the only ones who aren't so alarmed all the time... Explorer's top end is like these?

"Ah, it would be helpful if you didn't spread the story too much..."

Of course, I won't turn Azsa and the others into enemies. That's what idiots do. But... "

He went a little further, but in the end he went on.

Just for the record, the request came to me. So I met Mr. Ahmed.

Well, it would be inevitable to talk to the general superiors if they were to be swayed by the army. The one that scratches the straw.

But let the man who has spent years on the wheelchair, without arms and one foot, defeat the monster on his own? No matter what anyone thinks, it is impossible. At least it seemed impossible to me. "

Lance suddenly asked with a serious face.

How the hell did you do that?

I couldn't honestly say it was a straw and a sole of my feet, but I had to say, 'It's a trade secret.'

Speaking of which, it was GB that followed us back then. It was probably GB that followed us when Phantom debuted on the 10th floor.

Maybe we've been marked by GB ever since?

Well, I guess so.

Lance apologized to us for saying boring things.

"Yoshimura-san. It's going to burn!"

At that time, I heard the voice of Sandai.

Ah, I was eating, but how about Lance?

"Oh, thank you."

Lance picked up a little beer and went back to his camp.

I mean, bringing alcohol into the dungeon.....

"Senpai, we're inside Dory too."

"No, unlike us, a beer pack would be heavy."

"Well, it's that size, and if it's on the 18th floor, it's someone's asking for it, so I think there's a porter."

Miyoshi said that with his eyes on his back as he left.

However, at some point, Mr. Sandai acted as a cook.

"If you think Shibuki's here, it's King Salmon. I can't talk about deployment anymore. It's better to cook, so I'll take care of it!

Really? Well, good to see you.

That said, I've increased the amount of meat and yakisoba.

"But why King Salmon? Somewhat Grizzly."

"It's definitely a cliffy habitat, Vancouver."

That's what Miyoshi laughed at.

"When he first became famous, when I looked at Lansom Malson's last name and surname, I realized that both would be anagrams and salmon. And they started calling me Double Salmon or Mister Salmon."

"It's true. It's funny."

"Then, as you all know, I started to be called the King because I started to rank high and practically always rank high among the general explorers, but by helping with my previous name and my origins around Vancouver, I was called the King Salmon naturally."

Oh, is that so?

It was Mr Challa who had been paranoid until now. Um...

"It's Linda. Yasuo Hayashida, leader of Shibushi Cheese."

Speaking of which, Naruse said that alongside Tenko-san, he was the twin Explorers who would always be remembered in the management department of Ichigaya. Is he so?

"Hi, it's Yoshimura. So, why are you still here?

"Very well. Why is the world's top explorer here? Can we go home now?"

"But what's the word?

"I'm fine because he's here."

Hayashida said while headlocking a man with a different face from the Japanese earlier.

"Chi-su. Denis-Takaoka, half of Lithuanians. I'll see you later."

Dennis-Takaoka seems to be scolding Shibushi.

My mother is a Lithuanian, she was in love at the startup scene and got married, and now she's at a branch office in Japan.

No, the Baltic countries are now advanced IT countries. But...

"Isn't that right after the Soviet Union collapsed?

I don't know how many he has, but he'll be past twenty. Then surely within ten years of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

"Well, I guess so. My father used to go to the country where independence was restored."

"Are you drawn to the beauty of the Baltic Three?

"Ah, I say it's a lot, but it's normal. If you go to a fashionable place in Japan, there will be a lot of beautiful people. It's like that."

"Heh... the Baltic Three Kingdoms is not English, right?

"It's the language of each country, but in Lithuania the younger generation speaks English."

According to him, in the three Baltic countries, the number of young people who learn English is increasing, and the number of people who learn Russian is decreasing.

Especially in northern Estonia and Latvia, communication between residents is beginning to be hampered by the fact that despite the large number of Russian-language native-language residents, each native-language speaker no longer learns Russian.

The Russian speaker problem is said to be a kind of social problem. There's a lot going on in every country.

"When it comes to foreign languages in Soviet times, it seems to have been German, and many of the older generations don't speak English and speak German."

"So this is my team's foreign-language manager."

So Sandai brought a plate with meat and yakisoba.

"I burned it. Go ahead."

"Ah, why don't we eat too?

Food in the dungeon is precious. Especially in the deep.

So I will not accept it as a matter of course. Even Shibushi, who seems reluctant, will just check it out.

I owe you.

That's what I said with a laugh.

"Sorry. Millimeter was getting a little tired of rice."

"The people I left behind are about to complain."

When they received the plate from the third generation with joy, they quickly got caught up with it.

No, wait, wait.

Just then Lance brought two packets of six-can beer.

It's a long night. Let's have fun together!

Having said that, he received the dishes while distributing 350 ml cans to everyone and pulled the pull tabs as if they were natural.

For the record, this is the 18th floor. The world is huge.....

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

We introduced Mr. Sandai and Mr. Wheat to Lance as our contract explorers, and then we heard his exploration story.

Of course, it would be somewhat prosperous, but his story was interesting because he had a long history of explorers and had dived into various dungeons around the world.

But why are you contributing to US? Vancouver is Canada, right?

Oh, I'm from The Point. Nationality is US.

The Point?

He explained it in detail to me, who looked like a jerk.

The Point is an enclave that was born when the US and GB decided to border back then.

Once upon a time, when GB was moving from north to south and US was developing from east to west in the North American continent, the question arose as to where to delimit the border that would eventually hit.

At that time, the US proposed to make the 49 degrees north line the boundary with GB, but the GB, which was so important to Vancouver Island, could not agree to the proposal to cross Vancouver Island and ended up breaking up.

Anyway, GB, who was obsessed with Vancouver Island, will put together the story that if you give me all of Vancouver Island, the mainland will be fine with the 49 degrees line.

At that time, no one even imagined that the line would slightly cross the peninsula on the south side of Delta.

It was in this way that The Point, officially known as Point Roberts, was born, hidden behind a rope around Vancouver Island in both countries.

Besides, this is not important land at all, is it?

Lance said that with a smile.

No, there's really nothing. There's a school until the third grade of Elementary School, but from the fourth grade, you take a school bus to a nearby American city.

He laughed that I must be one of the most cross-border men in the world.

After entering Canada to go to school, I leave for the United States. We cross the border four times a day for convenience.

They do not pay taxes to Canada and do not have access to public services in Canada. Public schools are one of them.

Speaking of which, it seems that Lance saw the news of building a hospital in his hometown... that was the point.

As Miyoshi remembered, he looked surprised that he knew well.

Ah, at least that much.

When he was a kid, Point Roberts didn't have a hospital.

I didn't know if it was because of television or beer that my smiling face turned red.

However, the top teams in each country didn't know that King Salmon was coming to Japan. You still want mining?

Dennis told me.

I'm interested in that too.

That's right. I can't tell you more, but I was asked to mine on a short-term contract. "

It's unusual for Top Explorer to contract for a period of time.

The highest ranked adventurers will not take on any exploration activities of the type accompanying the employer or those designated by the employer.

Of course, there are cases where adventuring is more expensive, but people with higher ranks, even though they are ordinary people, are mostly free types and do not like to be tied to something.

There seemed to be a simple reason why there were so many great employers who paid a lot of money.

I was just about to come to Yoyogi. It's like I found a boat when I tried to cross the river. "

"Why Yoyogi?

There are several famous dungeons in the US, especially on the West Coast.

Even if you don't come all the way to the Far East island country, you'll find yourself in the Exploration Dungeon.

Well, there's been a lot of interesting incidents. And perfectly public? The one who won't be here is not a Seeker. "

Does that mean there are other general explorers coming?

I heard that almost all of the leading countries in the rankings are sending some kind of team.

I'm sure there's a base somewhere in that camp over there.

A stroll through the camp will hear the words of the world. What an international.

General Explorer? I see... I saw Ella yesterday. You said it was a government request. "

Ella?

"Ella-Alcott. It's a Campbell witch," Miyoshi added.

"What happened to Ella?" Linda asked Dennis.

"Campbell witches are coming to the Yoyogi."

"Really?! I think the east will be happy."

From here, it is more than 20 meters away from the other base camps. It's out of the prelude, so it's not going east.

I used to be a witch in Campbell Town, but somehow it got shorter.

Lance laughed and told me.

"Campbell Town is a friend of Mr. Wheat's who gave me a coup?

That's Campbell Town, England. This is Campbell Town, Australia.

That's confusing.

I wonder if it's the same as Hiroshima's date in Hokkaido.

The Campbell Town is overflowing in Australia because of my wife's house.

Lance smiled as she poured the meat into her mouth with a beer.

It seems to be a famous episode that the old Governor named Campbell after his wife.

"It has nothing to do with Senpai's favorite Viscount of a made-up cartoon."

"Um...."

I don't know if it's all that, but they say there are several places in Australia named Campbell Town.

'Her name is Adelaide's council. It's where you live, or where you're from.

Well, I don't know who he is, so you won't know if he crosses.

Lance told me that if there was a shiny woman in battle, it would be her.

What the hell is that?

Either way, Yoyogi is very interesting. I'm also interested in your bootcamp. I wonder if Ella is too.

Pleasure.

Miyoshi said that over a little telephone. If we know the truth, it's a little resistant to talk about it aggressively.

Linda, who had heard the contents from Dennis, shouted unexpectedly.

"What? Are you guys related to D Powers?!

What are you talking about now, this guy?

So, when we were talking about Asha, wasn't Dennis around?

"Well, yes, but...."

"Well, I'd like to ask, how effective is bootcamp?

"Effectiveness varies from person to person," he said.

"What is this, like a TV mail-order health food dialogue?"

But I have nothing else to say.

"Well then, let's sign up... hey? Dennis?"

Looking at it, Dennis, who was interpreting in a sleepy manner, turned over and started snoring.

"Ahhh, did you drink this second bottle..."

Dennis is weak to alcohol and seems to fall asleep as soon as he drinks two cans of beer.

"Damn, what are you going to do when the interpreter crushes first? I don't know what to do, let's pull it out. Uh, well, I'm sorry about today. I owe you dinner. I'll see you later."

Be careful tomorrow.

"To each other."

That said, Hayashida took Dennis back to her camp.

Yeah, there's only one thing I can see in my triple ass on a boulder. When I saw him holding Dennis lightly, he seemed quite powerful.

After seeing them off, Lance looked a little serious and said.

Well, that's enough of my story, and now there's something I'd like to hear.

What is it? I don't think we have much to talk about because we have a short career. "

What dropped the understanding of different languages?

Suddenly, Miyoshi and I looked at each other in the face.

Ah, I'm sorry, but I have to ask JDA about that. You can't tell us anything. "

"... hmm. Well, I see."

Sometimes this kind of information is not completely open.

Especially since professional Explorers are tied to various contracts in individual explorations. Knowing it well, he did not pursue it any further.

But D Powers left me alone.

He said so and sat down again, lifting his index finger.

Whether it's Armed or Cross-Language Understanding, Mining is you, isn't it?

In the past two months, it has been good to say that professional Explorers from all over the world have been hit by Azsa alone. A lot of them think it's not funny. "

When he realized that he had made a disturbing remark, he followed it so that he could leave immediately.

Well, I don't think there's anyone at the top who would be jealous like that.

"Anyway, everyone is interested in the Yoyogi trees that support Azsa's activities. Well, maybe it's time for me to have some time.

As he was about to get up, he stopped moving and said.

Oh, that's right. Finally, may I ask you one favor?

That's how he took something wrapped in cloth out of his pocket.

I heard that Azsa has an appraisal. I don't know how much it costs, but I want you to see this item. "

Miyoshi received it and carefully opened the cloth.

There was placed a dull silver ring made of a material that looked like iron, without any special decoration.

"A deadly ring, huh?"

Lance opened her eyes surprisingly when she heard it.

Was it true that I had an appraisal? Yes, the name I got about a year ago was the Deadly Ring. I didn't give myself too many names, I didn't test them by others. "

That's fine.

Miyoshi wrote down the appraisal results on paper with the writing equipment she received from me.

--------

Deadly Ring

Damage +10%

Max (user SP/target SP) % chance to kill on hit.

Vit-3

Those who do not fail to drill are given the key to opening an unknown hole in the bottom.

The cursed will be trapped in eternal darkness prepared for the devil and his servants.

--------

The bottom two lines are flavored text. The appraisal is basically in Japanese because it is displayed in the native language of the owner. I think it's just the atmosphere, but do you care?

Can I have it translated easily?

Those who do not fail in their efforts will be given the key to opening an unknown hole. The cursed are trapped in eternal darkness prepared for the devil and his servants. "

Bottomless hole...... chapter 9 of the Apocalypse

The fifth trumpet will be blown, and the devil will lead a large number of larvae into the hole.

The effect reduces health a little, but deals 10% more damage to the opponent.

What is this SP?

We call it a status point. It's kind of like experience, to say the least. "

"I see. There's a 1% chance of immediate death for something as hard as that."

That's right. It's quite a gem.

Even if you fight something good and fall into extinction, depending on your luck, you may be able to kill your enemies instantly.

It would be foolish to bet on it, but not bad as a last hope.

"Thank you, thank you very much. What's the price?

We are not commercializing appraisals so far. Because I don't have a clue. "

Well, I guess so.

"Just like this, we take on items and orbs that may have an irreversible effect on you. It's like an obligation.

So?

That's why you don't need to pay. If you dare say so, do you owe me?

When Miyoshi laughed, Lance turned his eyes and said, "Well, that's expensive."

Lance is still in Yoyogi for a while after the contract ends?

Of course I intend to. I'll see you again, so please do me a favor.

Welcome.

That said, the four of us shook his goodbye hand.

If you have a chance, please come to my office. I'll have a delicious cup of coffee. "

I'm asking Simon. I will definitely stop by. "

After agreeing to Miyoshi's invitation, he walked slowly back to his camp.
