 Another day comes to an end.

 The night falls and the Adventurers' Guild is filled with adventurers returning from the dungeon.

 Many of them have been holed up in the dungeon for a long time, so they have a strong smell.

 We head for the reception line, not smelling a thing, not even a speck of dirt on our bodies.

 When she notices our appearance, the dwarf receptionist, who had once stared at us in repeated confrontations over the purchase and sale of magic stones and complained quietly, "You human (inferior species) are so cocky ......," jumps out from the counter.

 It is also used to cool things and to give attributes to weapons and armor. However, the supply is far less than the demand.

 The dungeon levels in this city are: grassland on the first level, wilderness on the second level, swamp on the third level, jungle on the fourth level, and snowfield on the fifth level. The fifth level is a snowfield.

 The jungle at the fourth level is a dense forest, where even the best of beasts with a good sense of direction can get lost.

 Therefore, very few adventurers are able to reach the fifth level, the snowfield.

 However, because of our "SR, flight," we were able to fly to the stairway and reach the fifth level of the snowfield, regardless of the jungle, which can make one lose one's sense of direction.

'I am very sorry for the other day! I will strictly instruct all guild members, including myself, not to behave in such a rude manner in the future! Please, please, please do not change the location of our activities! Please! If it gets out that I said terrible things to an adventurer who brought in a large amount of ice magic stones in just one day, not only my life but the necks of every guild member in this city would be on the line! Please make a special exception and advance my adventurer rank from a novice (F level) to a full-fledged adventurer (D level), two ranks higher!

No, no, no, Miss, it's not too early. It's perfectly healthy to have a drink. Bad games are like f*cking a woman while turning your head with drugs. It feels so good that your brain explodes, but if you do it too much, your brain becomes stupid--gobble!
