Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?

After all, Mr. Shinosomiya never told me what was going on.

Although I've put in a few explorations since then, they teased me somewhat, and after school I went home to escape.

Being rejected so far doesn't mean I'm not a lover. It's hard for me to step in any further.

I put in another exploration tomorrow, and I decided to change my mind and head over to Anna and the others to wait for her to talk to me if that's not a good idea...

"This is... Awesome ssss. How dare you, just so much information from the internet..."

"A man named Ono, maybe a detective."

In a family that has become completely regular.

When they showed the two of them the investigative information Ono had collected for them, they raised their exclamation.

"But... I didn't know there were more than a hundred victims"

"Isn't this the biggest mass murder in Japan after the war?"

"Instead of Japan, it would be the largest in the world. It's not about murder anymore, it's about terrorism."

Those two look pretty bad. You must have felt the same disgust from this case that I felt.

I don't know what the purpose of hounds is, but being able to kill more than a hundred people for it deviates from the human spirit.

Or it was doubtful now that he was really human.

Like you read my insides like that, Woven says.

"... human, it must be for sure. Means and damage are what separates humans, but human thoughts are felt in target selection and so on. A real monster would be a choice between not picking a prey or vice versa."

"I see..."

Many serial killers are obsessed with prey selection, such as those who only target women with the same hairstyle or children of a particular age. Conversely, labyrinth monsters and the like strike the target irrelevant whether it is a child, an old man, or a clergyman.

Houndsmen are targeting new adventurers and those who belong to the Adventurer Circle, but this has chosen prey when it comes to indiscriminate murder, and is too devotional for a paranoid killer.

The criterion of 'easy target' seemed to underlie the choice of prey for hounds.

"The only glimpse of obsession is about attacking adventurers who belong to Adventurer Circle..."

I nodded and replied to the weave looking at me.

"Ono is asking us to find out if this Adventurer Circle was connected to the Star Mother's Club."

"Exactly."

A weave that laughs satisfactorily at my response.

"... Still, there are other people besides seniors who are attacked by three-star adventurers"

"Oh...... but well, this is also a good thing in a way. If seniors aren't the only special, then there's no reason to risk hitting seniors. This would make it somewhat safe for seniors to dive into the labyrinth by themselves."

However, that also meant that when the investigation was completely stuck, the last resort, 'I will turn myself in and attract a group of killers', was no longer available.

Now we have no other option than to identify the killer on the ground.

"Anna, what's going on with Gremlin's purchase route?

When I turned to the water, she scratched her cheeks like she was in trouble.

"Ahhh... once I got the Gremlin deal volume and buyer list. The supply of gremlin has decreased over the past few months and there seems to be no doubt that demand has increased.... It just doesn't seem like certain individuals are buying in bulk or that the buyers belong to a particular organization. Now we're just investigating where they sold that gremlin further and where it's ultimately going."

"Right..."

... Well, if it's a group of killers who are so close to getting ready, don't we imitate how we can buy it ourselves directly?

Would collect one cushion or two cushions in between.

As for Gremlin, do we still have to wait for Anna to investigate?

So Anna slapped Pong and his hand.

"Speaking of which, seniors, about the revival card, I've got a purpose."

"Oh, you're serious!

"Yes, we are here this weekend...... Dungeon Mart is going to be hosting a card exchange party for adventurers and dating 'Biller' who are sponsoring them, so please join us there seniors"

"Ooh!"

Card exchange! I've heard stories about professional adventurers and billboarders getting together and having a place to exchange cards and magic gear, but I didn't know I could participate!

By the way, a biller is like a card version of a painter. Those who specialize in high value cards, rare skilled cards, and are businessmen in purchasing the cards their customers seek.

The exchanges themselves sometimes take place in amateur classes, if only in small ones, but it is their size and credibility that the exchanges organised by companies and millionaires differ from them, as is the case this time.

Whereas there are basically some C-rank cards with D-rank cards being the main ones in smaller exchanges, the main ones will be C-rank cards in exchanges hosted by companies, and the number of them will also vary by a few hundred points and digits.

In addition, while fraud is rampant in small exchanges, companies guarantee cards at company-sponsored exchanges, so you don't have to worry about being scammed.

It was a coveted thing from adventurers simply because it was a place where they could exchange cards without having to worry about being scammed, and naturally participation would be introductory, so it was a kind of status just because they could go to a corporate-sponsored exchange.

For that matter, they need expensive memberships or fees......

"Oh, don't worry about membership fees and fees, of course. I don't care if we host it."

"Thank you!

After all, what you need to have is a junior with money and connections! Set aside the joke that... this is a seriously helpful story. If it was a trade party, a bunch of my D-rank cards would sell as high as the Alliance, and it would be easy to find cheap revival cards.

We can finally revive the Lotus Huats......!

I couldn't keep my mind off of it.

And that was then.

Pi pi pi pi pi pi pi!

All of a sudden, a sound similar to the alarm sounded all over us.

"Whew!?

"This is...!

"Guild's!?

Unlike me, who is just surprised by the sound of the first time I hear it, Anna and Weave took out the Adventurer's License as soon as they made their facial expressions rude.

So I finally came to the idea of the source of this sound and its meaning.

Is this a rescue request from the Adventurer Alliance…!

A rescue request that can be sent from an Adventurer's License, once sent to the Alliance, takes the form of being sent simultaneously to an adventurer nearby around that labyrinth.

An adventurer who receives a rescue request decides whether to go to rescue on the spot. If no one received it or there were fewer rescuers, the rescue request would be sent more broadly.

If that was repeated three times and there was no response, the militia member, which is the last resort, is supposed to move... well, mostly the adventurer will move between then.

Because the compensation you can receive for a rescue request will be 80% of the rescue cost.

You get 800,000 yen for the F-rank labyrinth and eight million yen for the E-rank labyrinth. There is no such a delicious story.

Most of us would have moved at zero rewards...

When we sent the eye contact quickly, we pressed for the rescue request, and when we caught the cab, we went straight to the scene.

In the meantime, don't forget to charge to the app and download a map of that labyrinth.

"You think he's a victim of weaving, hounding?

"... No, I don't think it's likely. Given what I've heard from seniors, it should be difficult for the victim to send a rescue request before an enemy raid..."

"Right..."

Well, you'd rather be lucky in this case to have nothing to do with hounding. Because it increases the chances of rescuers surviving.

While I was doing that, I finished downloading the map....... yeah?

I saw that map. I was attacked by Dejav.

I don't know..., it looks familiar... You must have never dived into this labyrinth...

Oh well... does it resemble Shoko Sato's diving labyrinth?

Compare the map of the two labyrinths.

It is the type of field that is different from the forest type and the pit type, but the shape of each hierarchy is perfectly consistent.

That's the order of the hierarchy, so much so that you can't tell.

Does this have anything to do with...

No, don't you? In the first place, this request for rescue doesn't seem to have anything to do with hounds.

While doing so, a taxi arrived at the labyrinth. There were already several motorcycles in the parking lot that seemed to belong to the adventurer.

Apparently, there are adventurers already here to rescue us.

Besides us, four or more... If this many adventurers were to be moving to rescue, well, surely the rescuers would be helpful.

In the meantime, it doesn't seem to happen that my actions are directly linked to someone's life... so I lowered my heart and chest.

Worst of all, it's a kind of bystander psychology that even if I don't do something about it, someone will fix it......

When we entered the labyrinth, we called the cards at the same time.

I'm a dragonet, Anna's a pegasus, and the weave's a spider.

The victim is apparently on three levels, so he rides the card and heads straight to the line.

Upon arrival, we decided to split into three hands and search for the rescuers.

"Okay, in case you run into a houndster, call me right away at the badge!

"Copy that!"

I broke up with the two of them and as soon as I did, I called Yuki.

"Yuki, follow the signs and smells of people other than us on this floor."

"Yes, … may I use the Lord of that territory?

"Oh, with that said, you had it. Blah, blah, blah, blah. How far is the territory?

"Yes, I think we can make that whole hierarchy a territory if it's about the F-rank labyrinth"

"So much......!?

I've used about a Moncolo game so far, and I wasn't particularly aware of its scope, but the Lord of the Territory seems to have a wider range of skills than I expected.

"Okay, then use it quickly"

"YES! AOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Yuki boosts her majesty to the point of tingling and trembling skin. What a voice.So much so that I think that without the barrier on the card, my eardrum might have been torn.

…… Master, I've sensed signs of someone who looks like a rescuer. And… beside it are signs of other humans and cards. "

"Oh, have other adventurers spotted you yet?"

When I heard Yuki's report, I scratched my cheek while clapping it out a little.

I don't know what to do... I hear that when I battle other adventurers at times like this, I often get into trouble with which to get paid or share.

Will you contact Anna and the others to make a decision? At least we could make sure the rescuers were safe...

That's when I reached for my badge while I was thinking about it.

"No, Master...... apparently a little different"

"Yeah......?

No, what?

To me leaning my neck, Yuki sharpened his eyes and said:

"- Signs of a rescuer seem to be fleeing that adventurer"
