World's Fastest Level up!

The Dungeon Collapse occurred in Shiranui Dungeon all of a sudden. The one who stopped it by defeating the last boss that appeared outside the dungeon, Cyclops, that had the recommended level to subjugate of level 40,000, was the girl in front of me– Asakura Claire.

I was very much wondering, how could this girl who was the same age as I, have so much power be able to do that. But for now, there was something that I was even more curious about rather than that.

I recalled the story that Hana sometimes tells me while we're eating at home. Indeed, that story was, in other words–

"I never thought Claire was actually that ‘Neighboring town Asakura-san's child'…"

"? Certainly, my house is in a neighboring town when viewed from Amane-san's address, but is there something wrong with that?"

"No, there is nothing wrong.”

In response to Claire's question, I shook my head as there was no need to especially tell the person herself about it.

Even so, I never thought Hana's story was actually real. I thought it was a horror story that she casually made. From the bottom of my heart, I was genuinely surprised by that.

Perhaps also because of that, I had a strange sense of familiarity with Claire, whom I just met.

Shortly after the Cyclops was defeated, we succeeded in wiping out the remaining monsters that appeared on the surface. Although there were those who were injured, it seems that there were no casualties.

This was all surely thanks to Claire. If I had to fight them alone, I wouldn't know what kind of result would await us.

After the cleaning up had finished, Claire, who defeated the last boss, briefly explained the situation to the personnel of the Adventurer Association who came to this place.

Even after hearing that Claire was the one who had defeated the last boss, they didn't show any surprise. It seems, unlike me, Claire didn't hide her power from the surrounding.

That was as expected, though. Otherwise, there was no way the news about the youngest person who became an S-rank adventurer would’ve been aired every day.

After that, Claire, who was finally released after explaining the situation, spoke to me.

"I am very sorry to have kept you waiting. Regarding bringing Amane-san to our headquarters, what do you prefer, right after this or at a later date?"

"… Let's see"

I placed my hand on my chin and tried to think about it.

To be honest, I have no intention of joining any guild yet, as I could only do a high-speed level up using [Transfer Within Dungeon] alone. So, I'd like to continue to solo for a while more just like before.

The only question is, why Yoizuki would want to recruit me, who is looked down on by the surrounding as an incompetent. Yes, I was really puzzled about this.

Besides–

"… ?"

_ I was more curious about the existence called Claire.

I might be able to know a little about how she could gain that much power at the young age of 19 if I went to Yoizuki. If that's the case, there was only one answer left.

"If Claire is fine with it, I choose after this."

"Understood. Then, lets immediately– Oops, before that"

When Claire touched the corpse of the Cyclops, its giant body disappeared in an instant. She must have stored it in her [Item Box]. It was natural because Claire was the one who defeated it, so she has the right to do that.

Even so, to be able to store an item that big, the level of her [Item Box] must have been at least level 5. 1

At any rate, after such an exchange, we headed to the Yoizuki guild's headquarters.
