"Allen. Did you find a replacement for Richt?

Not yet. It's not easy to find a healer who can match our level.

　The S-rank adventurers, Allen and Shizuku, were looking for a replacement for the executed Licht.
　The others were in the process of scouting.

　They were expecting to find a replacement soon, but they didn't expect to struggle so much.

Why?　There must be plenty of replacements for Richt, right?　Even if they can't revive him, it's better to have someone who can heal him.

"I'm telling you, there are no healers that fit our needs. All the healers are all too weak. It doesn't matter how far back you are, that guy will be the first to die.

"What's that?　I'm not sure what you mean by that.　You're not supporting them, you're dragging them down. ......

　I'm not sure what to say.
　The two of them had been playing as one-man teams, and it was impossible for them to fight while protecting the healer.

　It made him realize how valuable Licht's presence was, as he could manage on his own even if left alone.

But can't you find at least one of them somehow?　We're an S rank party, you know.　We're an S rank party, and I'm sure there are some strong healers out there. ......

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to use it.

"What?　But Licht had the same fighting ability as us!

You know, ...... Richt may be a healer, but he's not a healer. His healing is a skill. So he has the same fighting ability as us.

No way. ......

　Allen and Shizuku felt the damage of Licht's disappearance very keenly.
　It's not like you're walking around with a burden, even if you're the one recovering.

　He remembered now that Richt was his one and only existence.

I can't help but think, "....... I think I'll let one of them join the party for now. He can at least act as a decoy.

It's better than nothing. It's better than nothing, though I don't know if it's ...... possible.

I don't know if it's better than nothing, but there are a lot of applicants, so you might as well take your pick. Maybe you'll find a golden egg.

Oh, that sounds interesting.　Allen, there's a letter for you.

　Now that we've decided on a policy regarding healers.
　Shizuku noticed a letter in the mailbox.
　It had a large guild stamp on it, and was probably a request for a quest.

　Since the two of them are in an S-rank party, such a letter itself is not unusual.
　But before he could look at the contents, his adventurer's instincts made his hands clench.

"What's up?　You're asking me for a quest, aren't you?

"Yes, but take a look.

"......?

　The letter was handed to him by Shizuku, and Allen opened it as he was accustomed to do, checking the contents.
　The contents of the letter were worthy of an S rank adventurer.

A request for a dungeon survey: ......?　It seems that a powerful magical power has recently been confirmed in a dungeon that had been abandoned for years.

"Powerful magic?　I'm not sure what to make of that.　That sounds like a lot of trouble. ......

...... No, wait. There's a reward of 500,000 gold. ......

500,000 gold?　You have no choice but to accept it!

　The two of them hesitated for a moment because of the unsettling nature of the quest, but as soon as they saw the enormous reward, they changed their minds.
　But as soon as they saw the huge reward, they changed their mind. "This is such a delicious quest, I can't pass it up.
　Almost without hesitation, Allen and Shizuku send a letter of acceptance back to the guild.
