Proceed through the interior of the dungeon.

　I don't think there are any very strong demons, but I summoned the High Kingdom from the spirit world and equipped it just in case.

　According to Tina, this dungeon has ten underground layers. The first layer you're in now will be filled with demons of about level 30, and the lower you go down from here, the higher the level of the demons will be.

　It's a relatively simple dungeon, with a wide passage straight from the entrance, with narrower passages appearing from time to time on either side. If you go this way, there are several rooms, and apparently there are demons and treasure chests.

　If you take the wide passage in the center where we are walking now, you won't see many demons. If you don't want to fight the demons, you can just go down the wide corridor.

　Tina also remembered the layout of most of the rooms in this dungeon and how the demons appeared.

''There won't be any strong demons until the third level. And I don't think there are any significant treasures. We've recovered most of the equipment we had placed there back then.''

　There are two types of dungeons in this world.

　The first is the dungeon for adventurers, which is managed by demons called dungeon masters. For some reason, treasure chests in these dungeons are replenished regularly, and demons that have been defeated will reappear at regular intervals.

　Many adventurers continue to challenge these dungeons because they are easy to level up and obtain items.

　It seems that the dungeon masters accumulate dungeon points to manage their dungeons.

　An adventurer who conquered a dungeon and made friends with the dungeon master's demon tribe told the Adventurer's Guild about it.

　I was a little curious about the dungeon master when I read about it in a book called "Recommendations for Adventure".

　Running a dungeon sounds kind of interesting.


　Another thing is the dungeon that God made. This dungeon was built for the purpose of training the brave, and the mana inside is thick, so it's easy for demons to spontaneously occur.

　However, since they occur naturally, the frequency of fighting demons is lower than in dungeons for adventurers. And while there are treasure chests, in dungeons that someone else has stepped in, the treasure chests are often empty.

　God-made dungeons - commonly known as God's dungeons - have a much better quality of items to get than dungeons for adventurers, but once someone has taken the contents, they won't be replenished until the item is consumed or broken.

　Equipment and other items obtained by the transitioning heroes in the divine dungeon will be owned by the country the heroes belonged to after they return to their original world.

　Most of the equipment is said to become national treasures. That's how great the quality of items obtained in the Divine Dungeon is.

　It's just that they will be carefully stored as national treasures, so they won't be broken and the gods won't replenish the divine Dungeon's treasure chest with new equipment.

　This ruin is a divine dungeon. And this place has already been traversed by Tina and her guardian heroes. In other words, I couldn't expect much from the contents of the treasure chest.

　Well, I wasn't here for the items, so that's fine.

　But when Luca and Yoko found out about it, they had disappointed looks on their faces. They seem to love treasures.

　Since there didn't seem to be any treasures, Luca and the others didn't have to come, but they had a feeling that they wouldn't be able to get any information about the guardian heroes unless they stepped through the dungeon.

　I asked Yoko to come with me as a fighting force to traverse the dungeon and Luca to follow me as a revival and recovery person in an emergency.

　I was a little unsure about taking Tina with me, but I didn't oppose it because she insisted on going with me. Don't worry, we can probably manage........I have a feeling.

　When he learned the art of mind-reading, his brain seemed to have been activated by passing too much magic into his own brain, and his intuition had been working better lately.

　It's still an intuition that's not as good as my brother Leon's or even Sally the Cat Beastman's skills, but it's very useful. When there was a little bit of a choice, it would naturally guide the decision to a good outcome.

　That intuition told me that it was safe to take Tina with me.


　Now, let's get back to the topic at hand. The other person I approached for the dungeon attack was Luna. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is a walking item illustrated book──that's how great her knowledge of items and equipment is.

　She's also a keen observer, and she notices even the slightest oddity, so she's definitely one of the members I'd like to take with me if I were to go to a dungeon where something is hidden.

　And this time in particular, my instincts told me that it would be best to take her along with me.

　So, when I invited Luna to go to the dungeon, she was happy to accompany me.


　And if Tina is going to go, we are going to go too──and Rifa, Mai, May and Meldi came along too.

　I invited Luca, so I asked Ryushin to join us and he followed too.

　It would be bad enough not to invite just Luke when he got to this point, so I invited him too.

　This is how all of my classmates are coming out to attack a dungeon that doesn't seem to have any rare items.


'If there doesn't seem to be anything until the third level, then let's get cracking.

I agree.
I'm gonna go now!

　We proceeded straight down the central corridor, defeating the level 30 or so demons that occasionally came out of the side corridor.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

　We came to the far end of the dungeon's first layer.
　There was a heavy stone door in the direction of the dungeon.

　Beyond this, there was a boss monster from the first layer, and if you didn't defeat it, you couldn't advance to the next layer. When Tina had tried before, the boss was a level 40 or so goblin fighter, with a few goblins around him.

　Yeah, that level seems to be perfectly fine.

　As we all advanced together, the door began to open on its own.

　There was a large room behind the door, and in the center of the door, I could see a goblin fighter with a build of about two meters and two goblins at its side──!

"Firelance!
The Flying Fist!

　Two spears of fire pierced the goblin fighters, and the mass of magic power that flew away blasted each of the cronies' goblins.

　The moment we confirmed the boss's existence, me and Tina released the Fire Lance, and Meldi and Ryushin released their flying fists almost simultaneously.

　By the way, we didn't have a meeting or anything. Somehow, I just wanted to try to do something like, I beat the boss before I entered the boss room──.

　I was a little surprised that there were five other people besides me who were thinking about the same thing.


''Ladies and gentlemen, the activation of magic is too fast...''

　While saying that, Rifa, who was unable to activate her magic in time, lowered her jade-colored bow.

''Yeah, that speed is unreasonable.''

　He was wondering what to do with the magic that Luke had released to activate the magic.

　Luke and Rifa were also trying to release magic.

　─ Luke, isn't that amount of magic power too much for a goblin fighter?

　It seems that he was trying to activate a magic that is not quite high level magic, but is one of the strongest medium level magic.

"Luke, if you don't want it, can I have it?

　Yoko wanted the magic power that Luke released. Yoko can absorb other people's magic power and store it in her tail. It seems that she consumes a lot of magic power just by living her life day by day, so either I or the divine beast Shiro regularly gave her magic power.

''Yeah, it's too good to be true, so take it.''
Thank you!

　As Yoko held out her hand, Luke's magic power was absorbed. Somehow, Yohko's bust seemed to have increased in size.

　.........Could it be that Yohko consuming a large amount of magic power isn't used to maintain her body shape when she's turned into a human, right?


　With an exchange like that, we walked into the boss room to move to the next level.
