When we arrived at the square where the save point was located, we found the place crowded with many adventurers.

Not wanting to cause a commotion, Mr. Potts disappeared. You can do such a thing, can't you?

'Wow, there are a lot of seniors here. ......'
'Really. I'll hold your hand, Prine. Don't get separated.
'Yes!

Prine smiles happily and squeezes my hand. So cute.

But still, there are so many people.

It's just like in front of the boss's room, I think, and pray over the magic circle. The teleportation point is updated and my strength is restored at the same time. It seems to be a save point that also serves as a recovery point.

There is a gate at the back. There should be a green dragon at the end of it, but ...... there was a little problem.

Now we can't challenge the Green Dragon.

Because...

'Hey, Rana?

I heard a voice calling me. I turn around. A familiar woman comes waving at me.

'Ms. Lynn.

It was Lynn, a martial artist, who approached me. He is the one who taught me Kouki Koushuhou.

It's been a long time! I saw the guild newspaper! You're amazing, aren't you!
Yes, it's been a long time.
'I knew you were something else when I met you at the fourth level, but I never thought you'd come this far already. ....... And you're really changing jobs. I'm surprised at you, sister.
Ha-ha-ha, thank you.

'Lynn, do you know him?'

A man about Lynn's age, Mr. Sifu, arrived.

'Let me introduce you, Rana. This is Ian. --Ian, this is Rana. Look, that girl from the guild newspaper. I told you about him the other day, didn't I?
'Oh, you're the ones! Nice to meet you, I'm Ian Murphy, Thief. I'm Ian Murphy, level 17.

They ask for a handshake, and I and Prine return it.

'I am Rana Prata, a monk level 13.
My name is Prine Lamode. I am a Mage level 16. I'm a Mage level 16.

'Rana, you were a clown, right? I hear you were a warrior before that. Have you changed jobs twice already?
'Yes. I don't want you to say too much else. ......'

When I say this just to be sure, Ian smiles at me.

Ian chuckled. 'I know you do. 'I know you do. --You too, Prine, level 16 in just ten days is outrageous! I've been diving in dungeons for over a decade now.

Prine is horrified by Ian's praise.

'Oh no, I can't ....... All thanks to Ra-kun ......'.

Mr. Lynn,

'So, Rana. You're going to challenge the Green Dragon, aren't you?'
'Yes, I intend to, but ...... are you waiting your turn, by any chance?'
'Oh, yeah. I'm sorry to hear that.

Lynn nodded.

'I think I saw it in the guild newspaper's strategy information--' he explains with a preface.

According to the strategy information brought back by the "Brave" clan, there is a green dragon in the next large room.

It is a powerful enemy. It is impossible to defeat it with a party of four. It is necessary to attack with multiple parties. In other words, it is as strong as a raid boss.

However, the party list is not created and no tentative party can be formed. Thus, the effects of recovery magic and auxiliary magic, as well as the experience and rewards for defeating the bosses, are not shared.

This makes it very difficult for parties to cooperate with each other.

Therefore, it is recommended that the party discuss the division of roles and the sharing of rewards in advance.

Here comes the problem. The party who wants to challenge the Green Dragon must talk with other parties at this save point and challenge it together. We call this a temporary clan.

You have to join a temporary clan whether you want to fight the Green Dragon or not.

The temporary clan that has reached an agreement will enter the next large room in turn. After a certain time, the next temporary clan will enter again. And so on. The temporary clan we are in is the one that has the next reservation.

''What if I ignore the order?''
'Everyone here will beat you up and accuse you. Don't ever do that.
''Are there any available clans?''
I don't have any. Sorry. Everyone here has already talked to each other. We'll have to start a new temporary clan. Each clan has 24 hours. The next available time is in four days. There's a staff member from the guild there. Talk to him and make a reservation.

Whether we join a temporary clan or just the two of us, we have to wait three more days.

I never thought I would be stranded like this.

I thank Ms. Lynn.



'Okay. Thank you very much.
'Sorry, I wish we could have gotten in.
'No, no, I can't let you do anything risky like changing the partnership or the share now.
'Thank you for understanding. Don't worry, you guys are strong and famous, so I think it will be easy to talk about forming a temporary clan.
''Yes.''

No wonder. I thought I'd just make an appointment and come back today,

'--Mistress Rana.

Mr. Potts suddenly appeared.

'Hey, Mr. Potts, can I come out?
I have heard your story. Then I have a proposal for you.
What?
'Waiting for a turn by temporary clans, difficulty in splitting rewards and coordination. I think the main problem of all this is that we can't form a temporary party.
'Yes, that's right. ...... What, you don't think so, Mr. Potts?'
'Yes. I can set up a temporary party.
'--Seriously!
'So, I have a proposal for Mr. Lynn. If Rana joins, we can form a provisional party, and the Green Dragon battle will become an official raid battle.

I hurriedly grabbed Ms. Lynn and told her what had happened.

'So, Mr. Lynn. What do you think?
Seriously?
If it's a provisional party, the experience will be distributed to all the members and the rewards will be distributed to each party. You will also get MVP rewards.
'It's true, Rana! You're the best! Haha I'm going to go say a few words!

Ms. Lynn went to talk to the temporary clan leader.

While we were waiting, the other adventurers had already found out about us. A crowd of people gathered around us.

'Wow, it's really Rana Prata. Did you really change your job to a monk? ......'
'Wow, Prine, you're really cute.
'Excuse me, Mr. Rana, I'm a fan of yours. Please shake my hand.

I shook hands and smiled at everyone while guarding Prine.

Lynn came back through the crowd.

'We've got something to talk about, Rana! Let's see, Mr. Potts of Ghost, I think it's time to go, so let's get on with it!
'Yes, sir.

Mr. Potts, who was behind me, nodded solemnly and floated softly. Her transparent body and softly flowing hair made her look almost divine, and a sighing murmur spread across the room.

In the name of Rana Prata-sama, we hereby form a provisional party. Please, everyone, defeat the Green Dragon and save my Lord.

Mr. Potts waved the lamp in his hand, and a ray of light extended from it, forming a circle around everyone.

Immediately after, a list of lights - the party list - appeared in front of everyone's eyes. A tentative party was formed. One after another, the names of the adventurers were inscribed on the list.

The voices of surprise and joy rose one after another.

Wow, it's for real!
I didn't know you could do this!
'Now we can apply both recovery and auxiliary magic to everyone!
This time we will win!
'Not only did you discover a hidden event, but you even made it possible to do raid battles. ......!
'Thanks, Rana!
'I knew you were great, Mr. Rana!
'In the name of Rana, the menacing rookie!

All the adventurers present raise their right hands and start shouting. Eventually they all converge on one name.


''Rana! Rana! Rana! Rana! Rana! Rana! Rana!''


Wow, this is really embarrassing.

But, I think. My cheeks relax and the corners of my mouth turn up.

--When people keep calling me names like this, my former clown's blood starts to boil!

What would a clown do in such a situation? That's a given!

I spun around, put on my tuxedo, did a "magic trick" to get the wooden barrel out and climbed on top, flipped my cape, and raised my saber.

Inhale.

'--Let's go, people! Overthrow the Green Dragon!

''Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

'Wow, a real clown Rana!
'The third of the God's Eyes!
''He is a hero of the people who defeated the vicious aristocracy!

Prine shouted under the wooden barrel.

'You're so cool, Ra!

No matter what kind of applause she receives, Prine's voice is the only one that can be heard. He reached out to her and brought her up on stage to share in the applause. The adventurers are even more excited by the reproduction of the headline image from the guild newspaper.


''Rana! Prine! Rana! Prine! Rana! Prine! Rana!'''


''Hawaawa ......!''

Prine was frightened by all the attention, so I quietly whispered in her ear.

'I've gone too far again, but no one will mess with you if you go this far, right?


'Ra-kun, did you think of that ......? I love you so much!

Prine squeezes me. Holding her waist, I kiss her.

In the middle of the screams and cheers, the tuxedoed swordsman lifts his lover high in the air. As if to show off his best mage, his best girl.

''Rana! Prine! Rana! Prine! Rana! Prine! Rana!

And so it goes.

With morale at its highest, the Catacomb de Riquewihr, the underground giant cemetery labyrinth, the raid battle is about to begin.
