Shinka no Mi

"A new...... dungeon?

"Oh, yeah"

When we were surprised by the unexpected, Gustle nodded with a serious look.

"This was recently… and that's what Makoto and you will know, after the first demon kings and Zeanos retreated from the invasion of the Kaisel Empire, it emerged."

Is it that suddenly a dungeon appears or something?

When a dungeon appeared at the Barbados School of Magic, I think Mr. Burna said there wasn't that much...

Gustle shook his head with a bitter laugh about my question like that on his face.

"Unfortunately, the dungeons don't appear as easy as you think."

"That's right. That should be the first time in decades that a new dungeon has emerged... much older in the history of the Wimbledon kingdom, isn't it?

……

Isn't it strange that you'd run into such a precious thing twice? Besides, it's not a very happy kind of thing, is it?... No, I know it's something an adventurer should be happy about, because I basically don't want to do much dangerous things. Well, it is now.

... Is that it? Speaking of which, I think the sheep bastard said that about two more dungeons would be attacked in the near future, and I was talking about one of them being the Dungeon of the Demon King and the other being the Dungeon of the Demon God...

Could it be a dungeon that we can't attack?

Maybe if you watch out for demons and traps, you'll be fine...... if you step on them in the true sense, luck and unknown elements will also be involved.

That's why I decided that even if we challenged this dungeon, we wouldn't be able to attack. The sheep bastard is annoying, but I don't think he's gonna throw up in this way.

"By the way, do you know why the dungeon appeared or what caused it? Dungeons usually have dangerous images, so I think it's pretty dangerous to leave them without knowing what caused them..."

"In that regard, we believe that the people of the Kaiser Empire are responsible for this."

"Huh? The Kaisel Empire?

Even the emergence of a dungeon is unexpected, but here again the Kaisel Empire is involved?

"That's right. It also leads me to the earlier story, that the soldiers of the Kaisel Empire do not know what method they took, but they all became 'transcendents', a group of objects with levels just above 550. Either a 'curse' activated at the expense of something, or that would be the magic prop of the world's treasure class, can be given such a powerful power. That is why we wonder if the humans affected by any of those tools, though for a short time, had solidified on the spot and thus had some influence on the land"

"This is the view of the Alliance, so I can't really say it's right... but if a similar case is happening since the invasion of the Kaisel Empire everywhere, there will no longer be any mistakes"

Well... the Kaisel Empire isn't the only wacko that has attacked this Wimbling kingdom, so maybe there are dungeons out there in other countries... if that's really the cause, it's just annoying. Hey!

"For now I understand when it comes to the emergence of a dungeon...... is that dungeon a completely new type? I heard some patterns say that some things have opened an entrance leading to another dungeon..."

"Yeah, I've been looking into that once and for all, and that means it's a completely new dungeon so far. Of course, it hasn't been long, so there may be a hidden door or something, and there may be another dungeon ahead."

"I see... but why did you give it to us? It was a mouthful that seemed to have something to do with Helen wanting to be strong..."

"That's right, Makichi. It's because the dangers of the dungeons there are not very high, but they are unlikely. Whatever, there's a hell of a level of demons that appear in that dungeon."

"Oh, so much?

It must be a really dangerous dungeon because the gustle I usually joke about says so with a serious look on my face.

Gassle continued the conversation when I as well as Salia corrected their posture to such a gussy atmosphere.

"But that's all so dangerous, I think it's perfect for that kid who wants to be strong. Except it's up to her to go beyond level 500, where humanity reaches, and become a 'transcendent'. I'm just not too worried about that. What, as long as you have that mind that tries to be strong and that muscle that takes and helps you! You can easily cross the limits of humanity!

Gastle posing as a muscle with a killer and white teeth glowing. What you're saying sounds decent, but you're talking about muscles and ruining everything with that outfit.

Routier, listening to our conversation like that, shrugged with a strange face.

"It's strange to say human. There is no particular upper limit of level for us demons... but such a limit exists for humans. But that's why fighting in a group is strong, and even though it's troublesome... if such a person gets stronger in terms of such a status as' transcendent ', there's no winning chance against any other species. Maybe that's why they were given restrictions. Well, there seems to be something to remove that restriction..."

"Hum. All human beings, other than the Lord, are basically too poor."

"... I think that's just weird even for me as a Demon. Makoto seems cute when you decide to be a [human]"

"I don't look cute before then!?"

The status says [human], but if you deny that [human], you don't really know who I am!?

"Speaking of which, why did Mr. Ellis try to stop you from going to that dungeon?

When Salia uttered such a pure question, Ms. Ellis sighed.

"Seiichi and the others know what's going on with the dungeons in the guild?

"Huh?"

If you ask me that...... I don't know.

Because all of a sudden I was flown to [Dungeon of the Black Dragon God] during an exam to register for the guild, and since I was hired by the Barbados School of Magic, I just went as one request, so I didn't have to worry about the thing called some guild rule. Well, I'm right to say I couldn't care less because I don't know.

"Okay? Each rank is set as a determination of whether or not the original request can be achieved in the Alliance. S-level requests can only be received by S-level adventurers, and conversely, requests for exams like the ones currently being taken by the Helens are rank free...... which means anyone can take them as long as they sign up for the guild. You know these rules, don't you?

"Yes."

"So it's about the dungeon… basically, there is no such thing as a request for a dungeon"

"Huh? Really?

It's an unsolicited image, but it seems like a big rich guy is making a request for a rare item in a dungeon or something...

"It is basically the rules within the guild that demonic materials in the dungeon and items available from crates become the stuff of those who find them. When it comes to dungeons, it's also a place for adventurers to admire because they have these dreams of a thousand bucks."

I see... at first I thought adventurers were just people who lived by selling demonic materials.

That's why I signed up for the guild, because I wanted an ID. I never thought it would be a place to register after such a grabbing dream.

Because...

"So what are the dreams and goals of those who belong to this guild...?

"Is it our dream? Of course it's about exposing your desires?

"Jesus, Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidam!

"Quit being an adventurer"

Where do you find adventurers dreaming of a thousand bucks in a dungeon? It's perverted everywhere I look.

"Kohon! I'm out of line, but, well, a dungeon is a place packed with dreams. And when a new dungeon emerges, we'll have high-ranking adventurers gently examine the Rank Zone of Demons in the process and open it up to adventurers."

"Huh? Well, that's..."

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you go into a dungeon."

"That's why it's so dangerous. There are also many young adventurers who try dungeons that don't fit their length and lose their lives..."

"So I disagree with Mr Helen and the others going into this dungeon. Even if Altria and Makoto are stronger, it's too unusual this time!

I was anxious to see Ellis like that in a rare hurry.

Whatever, when both Gustle and Mr. Ellis first pushed their forces of demons, they jumped in without any hesitation, even though there should have been a lot of S-class demons in there.

I can't believe those two feel so dangerous...

It was me I heard so much about, but I speak with no thought of pure doubt.

"But... if it's that dangerous and some adventurers lose their lives, why don't we put restrictions on admission?

As far as I'm concerned, I have a casual notion that I should, but Gustle shook his neck sideways.

Can you stop people from dreaming?

"Huh?"

To an unexpected answer, I'm stuck in words by accident.

With such a gentle look at me, Gustle continued.

"There are no precious bitches in dreams. The dream of getting the money is also a fine dream. And people have their own circumstances. Some people will need money right now. But how many means do you think you have to make it when you need a lot of money that you never get just to spend it normally? An adventurer must be free. And that freedom naturally comes with consideration and responsibility - yes, it's my life."

"Huh!"

Too straight, to the point, I just breathe.

"They risk their lives and try to make that dream come true. The Alliance will not stop them from chasing such ridiculous dreams. Instead, support them so that they can make that dream come true whenever possible. It's information, it's connections... That's what the Adventurer Alliance is all about."

……

It was a very shocking story to me that I had never considered in depth the existence of an 'adventurer' before.

It's just that it's cooler than that, and... I just thought...

When he thinks that way, Gustle laughs like he's lit.

"... well, Allecore said, Ellis, even if you're emotionally opposed to entering the dungeon, we won't stop you if you have something to ask for ahead."

"... I really don't mean it, but I was an adventurer myself. I know what it's like to chase dreams."

Gustle and Mr. Ellis thought this far for Helen, who hasn't been long since we met.

Of course, it would be Helen herself who decides...... almost certainly heard this story and Helen would say dive into the dungeon.

Then when it comes to what I can do as a former teacher...

"... hey, Gustle"

"Mm-hmm? What's up?

"What about that dungeon, can I get some information? The level of demons that emerge, the types of traps, that kind of thing you need."

"... Got it"

Gassle immediately gave Mr. Ellis instructions and Mr. Ellis also pulled into the back of the guild once to pick up the material.

Well, what level of demons are coming out? I think it's pretty good because the gustles are so vigilant...

Oh, yeah. Let's just ask about the highest level of demons that emerged while you were getting the materials.

"By the way, what was the highest level of demons in that new dungeon?

"Right...... [Mardermantis] So it's level 600"

"................................................ hmm?

I doubted my ears.

Is that it? Now... I think I heard a level of 600, but 600's not that high, is it?

"Sorry, Gustle. Tell me the level again."

Six hundred.

"It's not your fault!?"

That!? Is level 600 that high?!? No, my senses are totally bugging me in the dungeon where Zola was...!

"Hmm... apparently even you, Makoto, are surprised at this level"

"Uh, no, the..."

"... level, not low?

"Origa!?"

Oliga shrugged softly, so I accidentally twitched.

But the voice seemed to have reached Gustle properly, and I look at Origa with surprise.

"Oh, Mr. Origa. Now you... did you say you were low level...?

"...... hmm. I said."

"Or, not a mistake? Levels, 600, right? Even Transcendental is a lightly twisted opponent, right?

"... me, level 850"

"I don't know what that means!?"

Gustle screamed out loud and grabbed my shoulder.

"Let me, Makoto-kun! Duh, what do you mean?!? Origa, your level is 850!? It wouldn't be a 'transcendent' or anything like that anymore!?"

"Oh, I heard about level 710 before, but I leveled it up -"

"That's not the problem! 710 even before leveling up!?"

I was 710 when I heard the level in the dungeon where Zola was, but since then, the demons have been knocked down, so it's not weird to get the level up.

"What the hell happened between you guys in this short time?!? You haven't even heard my muscles!

"No, you don't talk to muscles..."

With that said, I briefly described the dungeon that appeared at the Barbados School of Magic.

Of course, I'll also tell Zola that I met her there.

"No... I've been an Alliance Master for years, but I've never seen anyone fly this far! What the hell!? I didn't expect to erase the dungeon!? That's impossible even with my muscles!?"

"It would be!

I really shouldn't be able to. I'm the one who made that impossible. I'm crazy.

Saying that, Gustle looked serious.

"Seiichi, I've known your potential for a long time... but if it hadn't been for the Kaisel Empire, you'd have had an alias."

"Oh, that's..."

Somehow I had a bad feeling, Gustle said it off with a really good smile.

"Join us in S-class!

"I just don't like that. Aaaaaaah!

Just be one of the perverts...... spare me that! It might be too late for that!

"I brought it... oh? What's the matter with you? We had a dark atmosphere earlier..."

Then Mr. Ellis, who brought me the materials for the dungeon, tilted his neck when he realized how we were doing.

"Listen, Mr. Ellis! Oliga, what do you think your level is here?

"Huh? Right...... you wouldn't have reached 500, so at about 480 if you looked high?

They say it's 850.

"Finally, your brain has become a muscle?

"Oh, I think so!? You can light it up!

"It was too late...... so why don't you make fun of me? I can't believe the level is 850..."

"... you can look at it"

When Origa approached Mr. Ellis softly and disclosed her own status, Ms. Ellis looked at it and turned to the truth.

"... I think I've become a brain muscle, too."

"Wouldn't that be great!

"Please keep your muscles shut"

"That's a compliment too!

While the gustle was properly embellished, Mr. Ellis checked Origa's status again and again, eventually exhaling a great deal.

"Ha... apparently it's true. Besides, if Mr. Origa is this, isn't everyone else on the same level? What the hell can I do to do this..."

"Oh, that's..."

Ellis laughed as if she had blown it off when she also gave Mr. Ellis an explanation she gassed.

"It's no longer in my hands."

"Oh, I'm sorry?

... I apologized aggressively, but is this my fault? Well, no.

When she doubts her actions, Mr. Ellis looks serious.

"But... if this is Mr. Origa, it doesn't look like the new dungeon material I'm going to give you is going to be wasted either. That's also the possibility of erasing it like we talked about earlier..."

"I won't do that!?........................ Ya, I guess!

"You're already worried about your words..."

'Cause the dungeon just disappeared. It's an accident, in a way! He wants to break down the dungeon ceiling and show Zola the sky! It just came to a sad end as a result of such pure thought actions! Dungeons!

"It was really amazing then. Yikes! Makichi waved her sword and the dungeon was gone!

"If you're the Lord, it's a natural outcome. Because there's still consideration for the world, and that's why we're doing it."

"Are you the same person?

"It's human."

To the words of Salia and Lune, Ms. Ellis has further turned her attention to suspicion. That's right, tough. Because I'm supposed to be human. I can't even confirm it because my status is on the journey!

"Fair enough. Instead, if you have all the power you need, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Right. - Makichi."

"Hmm?"

"She...... Helen I don't know what your position is in the Varsha Empire and what emotions you have for the status quo we just met. That's why, as you did before, Altria... give him a hand."

"... yeah. If you need my help, I'll do what I can."

- That's how we got the information on the dungeon while Helen was gone, and we went straight to the "Tree of Tranquility" as promised to Al.
