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

Athletes who went outside the Tokyo Dome were divided into nearly 70% of the total group and about 30% of the small group.

The former rushes to the labyrinth of the sea and the latter to the station.

Many people chose the labyrinth of the sea because they hated going to the underground labyrinth and getting close to a temporary loss (or, to be precise, a 30 minute difference), and if they could get Vivier Diamonds, the black in this race would be confirmed.

If we can get even Vivier Diamonds, which will be traded from 100 million at the end price, we can get enough profit to retire at that point.

Even those who do not have the strength to run through the three labyrinths are not impossible if they run through only one labyrinth.

The Kimaris targeter also looked like one stone and two birds to reach the target star 600 in the race and in the Vivier Diamond.

On the other hand, many of those who chose the latter wanted to pick up a small profit from the carbuncle garnet, and the majority of the elephants were not soloists or groupings.

Soloists who were confident in their power seemed to divide the former, while the groupings divided their members in half between the sea and the underground labyrinth.

I jumped onto the magic carpet and flew to the station, watching the flow as the athletes ran in the rear.

I chose the underground labyrinth where the loss of time occurred simply because of the small number of people.

If there had been fewer sea types, I would have chosen you.

It does not depend on the type of labyrinth or the last rule change, basically the first labyrinth chooses the smaller one... that was the strategy that everyone in Adventurers thought about.

Feeling the gaze of the other players looking up at me flying over my head with a magic carpet, I short-cut the sky, passing the ticket first and slipping into the train at the last minute.

With this, I was able to lead a train, and I was able to pose with my heart to the regretful faces of the athletes who couldn't get on because of the difference in touch.

After arriving at Dungeon Mart, where the underground labyrinth is located, the show staff were waiting in tents in the safety zone on the first floor.

"Good morning! Just a moment, please touch the card gear on this device."

Touching the card gear as told, the number 10 was engraved in the upper right corner of the three-dimensional video of the card gear.

"That's the number of stars left. Now that the operating computer and Kitagawa-san's card gear are connected, please be careful not to make mistakes with other players' card gear."

This eliminates the danger of being physically stolen while sleeping with other athletes.

Still, we need to keep an eye on the cards.

"Well then, good luck!

Behind the staff's inspiration, I summoned the card first. Members are Lotus, Eliza, Yuki, Suzuka, Durahan, and Maidmaster Silky.

Immediately, Eliza, equipped with Durahan, summoned Costa Bauer, a dark carriage, and boarded it together.

- Please, Eliza, Silky.

"Jesus, Master. Leave it to me."

"Rest assured, I will cover the mistakes of the new maid."

Thank you, Doctor.

That said, the maid master Silky nodded confidently.

... that's why I chose her to be one of the six Summon Monsters.

Offset the fatal mistakes caused by Durahan's negative abilities with the skills of the Mademaster.

Yes, Eliza has acquired a new skill in just the past week.

He acquired the skills of a new American maid, and the quiet mind went to the water stop of the mirror, and the medium auxiliary magic ranked up to a high level.

Even though he possessed half of the maid's skills of sex and courtesy, his ability to acquire the maid's skills in a very short period of time was a result of his original accumulation of experience in camp cooking and cleaning, his treatment of hell by Silky over the past week, and above all, his motivation and hard work.

To Eliza, who gained a brilliant made-to-measure skill, I gave her a finger as a celebration, and she mastered Finn's thumb.

In addition to regenerating blood, she gained healing skills.

Highly resistant to anomalies, it can be described as a complete form of durable guard with auxiliary magic and self-healing.

Nevertheless, Eliza's recent growth has been remarkable.

In addition to her inherent high qualities, her skill acquisition efficiency is improved by skills such as silky teaching and multidisciplinary skills, but the speed of acquisition and growth of this skill is clearly unusual.

... maybe something was starting to bloom in her.

"Eliza, next, right."

"Jesus, Master."

The underground labyrinth where enemies don't appear, and the carriage we're riding is moving down the aisle at great speed.

Since it floats slightly from the ground, most of the traps that are activated by pressing the switch pass barely, and traps that sometimes respond to certain signs and fly arrows and so on pass through with indication blocking. The only type of trap that detects vitality and attacks could not be avoided, but Eliza, who had previously detected the trap, took it with her devotion shield.

Eliza had to stop the carriage and unlock only the small room doors and traps placed there, but she was still pushing through the labyrinth as fast as she could think.

According to Yuki's scouts, the other players are quite backwards.

It's completely on my own.

I would like to leave it as far as possible within an hour of being released from contact with other athletes, but considering……, I arrived at my first tip.

Besides...! And the carbuncle!

... maybe the tip points overlap with the carbuncle room? No, I don't think so. It is impossible to set up hint points in the same place as the carbuncle that runs away as soon as you see people. It's just a coincidence.

We need Yuki to restrain the carbuncle immediately and Durahan to take care of it. Enhancing Durahan, which is almost unenhanced, is a top priority.

As for the golden scratchbox that appeared...

"What about Lotus?

Nh... I guess so. It shouldn't be a hassle. "

"Well... then save your luck."

Copy that.

I suppressed the luck of the golden clam that was supposed to come out there and turned it into savings.

Of course, you can't expect what's inside - what a yellow skill orb it was.

"... saving luck means it's likely to be a negative skill orb."

I see. I had to save my luck. Maybe it was a positive skill orb. "

Did you fail? Well, I can't help it. This is abandoned.

Collect the carbuncle garnet and leave without using the skill orb.

If the next athletes use one or eight of these, I feel a little pathetic... but I guess I can't help it.

Well, the tip is, and. See tips for checkpoints added to your card gear.

[3 is. x146, y626]

... nh. I don't know what the contents of "3 is" are, but x and y are probably the coordinates in the labyrinth.

I don't suppose that's where the checkpoint is... Pattern B.

Pattern B is one of several trends when a master decides on a simulated race checkpoint.

This is a way to connect the coordinates of the four hint points with a line, so that the center point where the two lines intersect is the checkpoint.

There are no particularly complicated puzzles like the other patterns, but we need to gather all the information as we cannot gather all four to know the exact location.

Also known as the Pirate King System.

Well, I've retrieved the hint for this hierarchy...

"Eliza, Claire Voyance."

"Jesus, Master."

When Eliza used the High Auxiliary Magic Claire Voyance, this hierarchical structure came to my mind.

Chitose magic is magic that allows you to perceive the structure of the current hierarchy for a certain amount of time.

Normally you can buy map information from an Alliance, so it is a magic that doesn't find much value, but it is a necessary magic in B-rank labyrinths where the Alliance also has little information handling, and secret dungeons that don't sell maps in the first place.

If Eliza hadn't grown up with the High Auxiliary Magic, this race would have been pretty tough.

Unlike maid skills, I was really lucky because I wasn't aiming for a higher auxiliary magic rank-up.

As a subplan, there was a way to collect as many cards as possible and rely on Nike's High Auxiliary Magic, which was to ignore all hint points and go where she could within her Summon Time Limit, and then go back to the hierarchy with a Hameln whistle to collect hints after the Summon Time Limit expired...

It was really helpful for Eliza to learn high auxiliary magic because the former method would have cost a lot of time and the latter method would have cost a lot of time.

In other words, the movement, Durahan & Eliza, the response to traps, Eliza, the understanding of maps, Eliza are too active.

If Eliza loses it along the way, don't clog it...

It is also an idea to use her in the fight against other athletes.

Nevertheless, I can't let her go, the main guardian...

With that in mind, I reached the tip point of the second tier.

Enemies are usually mixed fish such as skeletons and water slimes.

That's right, isn't it a carbuncle two times in a row?

After instantly killing the enemy and obtaining a hint, it was now written as [two later. x-246, y-634].

... the type that connects four dots. It turns out it's somewhere in this straight line, but the problem is the first cipher. Maybe it's a password or something...

On your way to the next level, you encounter the carbuncle again.

Nice... not so aggressive as to go looking for it, but I'm purely glad we ran into each other.

I'll also have Durahan take care of it and save my luck in the Gacha Box. The contents were a lotion. It is a little wasteful, but it is used to heal the wound of the previous needle.

We reach the third level, but there are still no athletes to catch up with us.

On the contrary, the distance from the second one is also slowly pulling apart.

After all, the combination of Kosta Bawar + Trap Unlocked + Chitose is irregular. That's Eliza. It is no exaggeration to say that Eliza has our party's labyrinth strategy.

The fact that he still can't pull away completely means that this second guy also has the means to move and grasp the map.... or are you tracking my trajectory?

Anyway, he's a cautious person.

The tip here is [1, ah. x-982, y-342], and I couldn't encounter a carbuncle on the way.

The fourth level. Here, I ran into the carbuncle three times before reaching the tip. Pretty lucky. I haven't consumed luck or manipulated fate by Lotus, by the way. It's pure coincidence. Durahan and Silky's combat power has now grown to MAX. The hint was [4. x945, y22].

So we finally reached the fifth level where the checkpoint existed. Did you say it took about thirty minutes to get here? Pretty close to the best time. It's almost time for an hour of no-contact time. From here, we have to pay more and more attention to distance from other athletes.

The checkpoint was a tent with pockets on the nothin 'corridor.

I tried to get inside, but wondered if the boundary was tight and couldn't open the entrance.

Then a voice rang from inside.

"--- Please enter your concordance in the card gear"

If you type "Ah, chi, ha, yes" as they say.

"Please come in."

I was welcomed into my tent. There was an adventurous show crew wearing body armor and a cat or card, Gremlin.

I look at Gremlin for a moment and watch out for me.

"Oh, don't worry. This is my card, so I'm fine. Please understand that this is for fast viewing of camera eye footage."

Ah, yes.

Although mechanical destruction is notorious for Gremlin, there is also the aspect of having the ability to manage data as an electronic spirit. It is the most modern monster, good or bad.

"Well then, please answer the questions I'm going to ask you without lying or false.... did you commit any fraud before you came here?

"... no"

"--- Yes, thank you! Now, touch the card gear on the crystal to restart the race."

Ah, yes.

I left the tent thinking it was over.

Mm... the second guy's getting a little closer while he's at the checkpoint. Besides, the third guy's coming after me on the same level.

This pressure feels a little disgusting...

With that in mind, I resumed the race.

----About two hours later. I had reached the twenty-first floor.

So far, I ran into a total of fourteen carbundles and got the garnet.

I'm not particularly looking around, but I think it was thanks to Lotus' constant luck that I was able to meet this way.

In the meantime, I kept saving luck in the gacha box, so I was able to save a lot of luck.

Regarding time, we continue to maintain the best possible time.

Honestly, I didn't expect this to go so smoothly.

Preliminary simulations at the Adventurers Department assumed that there would be at least three fights beyond the twenty hierarchy to avoid fighting other adventurers.

Among the factors that did not do so were the fact that the magic carpet allowed me to get on the train just a stone's throw away, the fact that I was able to keep myself solo from it, and the policy of leading groups other than myself to avoid fighting.

----But that's probably how it went.

From here, enemies become D-rank monsters, not instantly killed as before.

Nor will my rivals allow me to be the lowest of the ranks.

Until now, it had been a policy not to fight as much as possible, but from here on out, they should be actively engaged.

Especially the second stalker behind me.

While the smell of the third or less is replaced by a discount, he only keeps the second place immovable.

Apparently, he had a purpose, and he held it right behind me.

----Five hours later, another group of fighters moved. It was when I arrived at the stairs leading to the twenty-five floors.

......! Master! The second smell and signs are gone! And that card!

Hmm! You finally moved!

Son of a bitch, you were looking for the shortest route to the next level by tracing my tail.

Now that we know where the last hint point is, we can no longer leave only 25 tiers of checkpoints.

It is more likely that there are no more tips or checkpoints ahead than there have been checkpoints at five-story intervals.

The fact that this is the last checkpoint also increases the likelihood that the next hierarchy is the lowest.

If I were the producer of the show, the bottom tier would be about a minute before the last checkpoint.

I mean, I'm done with him. Even a stalker would have one or two of those magic cards.

... the problem is when to set it up.

Even if you set it up at a bad time, you'll just get pulled out of the follow-on group.

----The situation moved further just after I passed the last checkpoint.

Master! The third and fourth have come into contact! Looks like we're having a duel!

Looking at one of my clothes confirmed, did you move on to crushing each other......!

That's not good! If the second guy comes after me, this is the only time!

If we get here, we'll have to slip to the bottom by the time the second one catches up...!

That's what I thought. I headed for the next staircase.

"Good to finally meet you."

A small room in front of the stairs. Waiting there was a white woman with short cuts of red hair and blue eyes.

... the stalker bastard was a woman?

So I observe the other person with surprise and thoughts.

The first thing to draw attention to is a length that is superior to 180 centimeters. Many foreign women are taller, but she will be considerably taller among them.

It wasn't just my back that was big, it was my chest. This is the first time I've met a woman who's bigger than Mr. Beef Kura.

I don't know about my age because my race is different, but I look a little older than me.

Her face was in good shape, her nose was not too high, her jaw line was sharp, and she was a beautiful woman who looked like a Japanese person.

I recognized him on his face and chest. It was definitely one of the recommendations prepared by the show side, and it should have been a name like Helen. Because there was little advance information, it was the tenth most popular.

Get off the carriage and confront Helen.

"... the checkpoint was supposed to be one for me, but how did you get ahead?

"It's simple. I didn't pass the checkpoint, I just went straight here. Otherwise, I would have been able to get ahead."

Helen answers in fluent Japanese. Do you use translation magic equipment, or have you lived in Japan for a long time...?

"But you won't get to the bottom if you beat me, right?

"I'll slowly pass the checkpoint while I knock you down and pause for an hour."

"In the meantime, what if the third or fourth place took advantage of the fisherman?

"Of course, they're on their way. Rest assured."

The child sitting next to her laughs with a smile.

"This guy has such a cute face! This is so funny!

"Thank you. You're a nice card too."

Helen smiled back at Lotus' praise. From that expression and attitude, I could see through my own experience a solid sense of confidence. A strong enemy hunch...

"Well, it's about time we stopped talking. Ah, of course, if you want to surrender, that's fine."

"Joke."

Laughing with my nose, I choose not to get lost.

Then, an input screen appears asking how much to star the card gear.

Now, what do we do?

There are generally four patterns of star betting. "Bet only one", "Bet only three", "Leave one and bet all" and "All in."

The first is a bet that minimizes risk in the form of three cards. Surely disadvantages you in battle, but as soon as you're in danger, you just have to surrender, so scratches are kept to a minimum. It's not just about choosing to escape...

The second is a bet that minimizes risk while maximizing returns. Betting three instead of two is to go up one of the opponents who tries to win two against one. There is also the possibility that the other person will scratch the back and bet four times, but if I go there, I will give up cleanly.

The third is the betting method that leaves only one countermeasure for retirement and aims to win as much as possible. Risks are high, but there is a high chance of winning the bet itself.

The fourth way to bet is just an idiot. If you lose, you won't be sane enough to play a single Retire.

... but things are changing a little in this situation.

Because we haven't fought any fights along the way, and the number of stars hasn't changed.

All-in emerges as a powerful option only in this scenario, which is likely to have only ten stars from each other.

Based on that, I chose to leave the third one all in.

Normore Bet!

After selecting each other, a judgment is made from the card gear.

Helen Brekke, 10 Stars! All in!

I jumped my eyebrows unexpectedly at the words. All-in, you're a nice guy...

Helen smiled at me like that.

Kitagawa, Singing. 11 Stars! Kitagawa WIN! You can summon four. Both, please set the number of summonses to the required number within one minute. "

"...?!?

The next moment, I opened my eyes to astonishment.

"Illegal... no! Oh yeah, Carbuncle Garnet!

I nodded that the answer was correct.

In the rulebook,

Stars can be refilled for 2 million yen per card or 1 D-rank card. Available at the start point and at each checkpoint. However, up to 10 stars can be replenished in this way (cannot be replenished if you have more than 10 stars). "

are described.

What bothered me was that it said "in this way." In addition, it adds that the number of stars owned in parentheses cannot be more than ten.

Even if you don't do that, you just have to say, "However, if you have more than a dozen stars, you can't replenish them," and it's the same as saying that there are other ways to go around saying, "This way is."

Here is a description of the viville diamond and carbuncle garnet before the race begins. I'm glad to say this is confirmed.

In the first place, there was a possibility that you could only redeem money after the goal, but that would make too little sense as a race. In order to create a performance that scratches the back of these opponents, it is written in the rulebook that you can't buy more than 10 pieces, and I can only think that on the same day I have added an exchange for garnets and diamonds.

... but what I noticed in advance was that the weave told me that "there is a high probability that there are multiple ways to get the stars" and that I actually got the carbuncle garnet.

When I got a few carbuncle garnets, I flashed on my head, "Maybe I can trade stars for more than ten." Then, when I asked the customer at the next checkpoint, the product could be exchanged normally.

If she had gotten the garnet halfway through, she might have noticed, but she hadn't been able to meet the carbuncle or get the garnet after I passed.

At the same time, it means that her number of stars is not more than ten. Therefore, if only eleven stars could be secured, we could almost certainly win.

"... I see, this was a blind spot. However, I did not confirm the outcome of the match to a somewhat disadvantage. --- Everybody out."

With Helen's call, the space behind her swayed, and from there appeared a dark black knight without a neck, a dog with dark green hair, and a knight of a dwarf about 20 centimeters in length.

... to Durahan and Cousin, the last one... was definitely Dina Shee? It's a rare card that doesn't appear much in Japan, but it should have been a missing e-rank card.

Instead of making a strong statement, C rank is D rank and E rank in one piece... honestly, I can't applaud you.

And then, thinking so much, I realize.

"Wait, wait! Cousin's not a girl card! It's against the rules!

"Yeah? Ah! I see."

Helen nodded convincingly at my protest.

"Cousin, transform."

I told you so briefly. At the same time, Cousin's body is wrapped in pale light and deforms into a human shape as soon as he thinks. Eventually the light vanished, and there stood a strange beauty with dog ears and dark green hair standing naked.

"Is this good?

"... no"

Stupid... transformed? Indeed, even if it's a different figure, if you can transform it into a girl, it can be accepted as a girl card... but that skill for Cousin... no, wait.

Well, it's not a transformation, it's a possibility of hallucinations and changes. In that case, it is a range that is normally acquired as an acquired skill. That's right, a skill that only repairs the upper part of a phantom is not recognized as a girl card.

I think so, I look at Suzuka, but she just shakes her head silently.

Does not react to false perceptions mean... that this is not just an illusion or a change, but has a proper human form?

Did you inherit some innate skill as an acquired skill?

However, Transformed innate skills cannot be inherited by Rank Up, just like Family Summons - they have not yet been confirmed - they should be of this type....

Looks like Cousin, doesn't it look like Cousin?... no way!

He swallowed his breath.

Hurry and check Helen's cards.

That Durahan... if you look closely, he's slightly raising a black mood from his whole body. The intimidation we unleash is quite different from that of our Dodger.

And Dina Shee. It is absolutely strange for a three-star adventurer to come out with an e-rank card on this occasion. It doesn't matter how good an acquired skill you have.

Durahan throws a black aura at Cousin with transformation skills, and an off-place e-rank card....

Helen's cards, no doubt!

"Am I done? Speaking of cards, I think it would be nice to keep the lady naked."

"... ah, yes, I'm sorry. Please...."

I lowered my head in a hurry. No, I was too immersed in reflection. It was as if I had raped a naked chemo-eared beauty. I didn't actually mean to, but it would only have appeared to me.

Helen returns Cousin to the beast form, looking at us with a cold glance.

... after all, once again, it looks more elegant or mysterious than the coolie I know.

I don't think it's a D-rank card.

I'm sending Silky and Suzuka back, feeling my bad feelings change for sure. The remaining members were four: Lotus, Eliza + Durahan, and Yuki.

……………………

As they stare at each other silently, the tension in the field increases.

A minute has passed. Please start the match.

----And the battle began.
