190-189 ◇The additional investigator is a black mage...?




 


 On my return home, I temporarily returned the ring to the Demon King.

 That's because Mira-san is working on the third layer as 【Vampire Queen】.
 No matter how good the demons in the Demon King's Castle are, if the number of strategy videos in the world increases, the 'strategy' thing will become visible. Of course, it's something that only works with considerable skill, but there are many excellent adventurers.

 The third layer was regarded as a kind of 'wall'.
 Most of those who broke through the second layer were wiped out at the third layer.
 It was very troubling for such third layer floor bosses to get out of the third layer.

 However, Mira-san decided that she would definitely follow Leme-san.
 This is where the ring comes in.

 The ring that can summon a contractor is said to remember the owner's information up to the latest three people.
 That's right, the Demon King can also use the ring. She can summon the contractor. It was originally hers, so it's only natural.
 And Mira-san was also the contractor of the Demon King.

 .........Speaking of which, the day she received the ring, she was also detailed about how the order of the contract was known to the person in question.
 For some reason, as if he was impatient, he said, "I'm sorry that you received Reme-san's first time and I'm already experienced! I wasn't lying........! He apologized to me, but I was talking about the contract with the ring.

 Mila-san is my first contractor, but Mila-san had already made a contract with the Demon King before.
 If you listen to the story, you'll agree that it's true.
 Anyway, we settled on the idea of returning the ring temporarily and summoning the floor boss if he needed it.

 The next morning.

'Well, let's go then.'

Yes.....

 Mila has a nervous look on her face.
 She was practicing her greetings and muttering to herself, "It's not rude without a souvenir... but there's no time... I'll have to get it on the way... And he had been restless since yesterday.
 Since we were going to accompany the additional survey team prepared by Fellow-san, our preparations were almost gone.

 The people from the Chamber of Commerce will prepare what we need, and the only thing Mira and I will need is a change of clothes. I also decided to take my preparation staff with me.
 I'm not going to be the only one who has been in a position to do this for a while.

I'll take the bag.

Well then, I'll take you up on your offer.

 It's not that I consider Mira-san to be impotent. In the first place, she is a vampire, so her physical strength is superior to mine.
 Still, I thought she was somewhat 'like that'.
 Like if someone close to me was carrying a heavy load........
 She may have thought so too, but she relaxed her tension and smiled at me.
 When I held it, it was slippery and heavy.

''........It looks like there's a lot more than just clothes in there.''

Yeah, I need it a lot.

 ........well, there are things like that.
 Even though the other side will prepare it for you, you may want to use something that suits you, or something else like this...I don't know, but there are probably many other things.

 We both leave the house.

 I went to see Kash in person earlier and explained to her.
 My heart aches when I see her sad face, but I can't take Kash, who is only eight years old, on a long trip.
 I'm sure your family would be anxious as well. The "Elementary, Beginning Dungeon" was still good because it's a close city and it's a job at the Demon King's Castle - but I know you were still worried about it - but this time it's my personal homecoming.

 The original dungeon was involved and there was an element of work involved, but the Demon King's Castle wasn't involved.
 As for Kash, he will be treated as the Demon King's temporary secretary and his salary will continue to be paid.
 I remembered Kash, who squeezed the hem and squeezed it out, ''Welcome.......'' and vowed to come home as soon as possible.

''By the way, do you have any idea who the recommenders are, Reme?

'In case you're wondering, the last party was famous, so there's a lot of people who just know each other...'

 When you arrive in a new city, you have quite a few opportunities to meet and greet influential people in that city.
 It's hard to narrow it down to just one person related to a trade association, and frankly, there are many people I don't remember.

Then what about a woman who goes to the field herself?

 Mila, walking next to me, had a beautiful smile on her face, but her words were flat.

'Why a woman?'

It's a hunch.

A hunch.

 I'll think about it.

'Ummm ... oh, maybe she was the type. You know, the last time we had a raid--

 As we were talking, our attention was drawn to something.
 We were about to turn a corner and we would see the gate where we would meet.
 So we turned, and we stopped.

 -- a crowd of people.

 There were quite a few people gathered in a position that didn't interfere with the passage of the gate.

'You're really up for it, aren't you?'

 Mira says again.

'I'm good, but are you good, Mira?'

That's fine. I'm a different tier of floor boss in Carmilla, so I'll at least be next to you as Mira.

 She tilts her head slightly and smiles at me.
 I was so impressed by her smile that I couldn't help but fall in love with her, and that's when my heart skipped a beat.

"Sweet and sour, isn't it?

 In front of us - a wizard appeared in front of us.
 The flow of magic power was so natural that I didn't realize that it had moved with wind magic until it approached me.
 My 'confusion' that was released reflexively was resisted (resisted) as if I had read it.

'Wow, that's a great reaction. Your instantaneous power, output and magic manipulation are perfect.

 She was a sensational looking beauty.
 She was instantly recognizable with her ample breasts and pert hips, and her outfit followed the lines of her body perfectly.
 A pointy hat, so large that it hid her face.
 An old, curved-tipped staff with a red jewel in the curve.

...

 Mira was surprised by her appearance.

'It's been a long time, Reme. You seem to have grown up a lot since the last time we met. That's a good thing, isn't it?'

Haha it's been a while, Mr. Merlin.

 Belonging to the second-ranked party in the world, [The Wizard of Foresight] Merlin.
 The second-ranked party was known for its members, all of whom were irregulars.

 Merlin-san was famous as a [Wizard] who could use magic on par with the four great spirit contractors.
 It means that they can be comparable to Aerial-san and Fenix-san in terms of magical warfare only.
 Glancing at Mira-san, she looks at her.

'Heh ... you're blessed with a good match, Reme.

'Mr. Leme, this woman is a good person. I can tell.

 I think Mira is basically a thoughtful person, but I think she tends to loose her good guy judgment when she meets certain criteria.

I'd like to introduce you to her, but let's go first. I'd like to introduce you, but let's go first. As a matter of fact, I've already started to unveil her.

 The Brave (Hero) Show, Tag Team Tournament, and Raid Warfare.
 Also, although the takeover ended in failure, a new competition using the dungeon's magic space as an interlude... is underway.
 This time around, 'Famous adventurers are participating in the original dungeon attack! & "Selecting Investigators of Any Race! It seems that they plan to get the public's attention with two major factors.

 The second place party, of course, and I'm a former fourth place party as well. I've won tag team tournaments since I left, so it's easy to get the public's attention.
 And in my case, it's my hometown. A young man who rushes to save his hometown.......because it's easy to understand, it's easy to get emotionally involved in this story.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time as a wizard. I'll be happy to help you along the way.

Yes, nice to meet you.

Just in time. You'll be up soon.

 The first thing to look for in a crowd is a camera. We could also see people from TV stations and reporters.
 Seeing them, some ordinary people gathered around, wondering what was going on.

Shall we go? Or do you want to go in secret? I don't like to be forced.

 If I tell him that I don't want to show my face here, he will help me return home in secret.

''No........no, I don't mind.''

 The trouble with Mr. Fellows' approach is that he's not the only one who benefits from it.
 It's important for the public to be aware of the original dungeon by having a famous adventurer involved. If people are also made aware of the dangers and other dangers, it will help with the next outbreak. It could reduce the number of people who get caught up in a dungeon without knowing it well.

 In the first place, considering the point of appealing to the country, it is not a bad idea to do it in a big way. Rather than pinpointing and reporting that you've worked hard on this stuff, a public acknowledgement achievement! It would be a decision that it would be better to do so.
 One of the purposes of this time is to show that [Black Mage] Reme, who can use the power of a magician, is an existence that contributes to the country.

''Well said. Can I have the vampire girl too?

Of course.

Great.

 My body floats with a light touch. And Mila's too.
 With Merlin, we approached the place.

 The members of the 2nd place party are already there.
 The third party's member, 【Senshen Summoner】Margrette-san, who seems to be acting as the hostess, was also there.

 That's right, she's the daughter of the Grand Chamber of Commerce, an adventurer, and a collector of magic tools.
 She was probably the one who recommended me.

 When Margrette-san leaves for work, the other party members are said to help her or concentrate on their training.
 There are other people in the place, not only humans (normal) but also sub-humans.

''Oh my, the last participant has finally arrived. The original dungeon that suddenly appeared in my beloved hometown. The one who stood up to save the hearts of all the anxious hometowners is this person - 【Black Mage】 Reme.

 Softly, we land.
 The lens and people's eyes focus on us.

''And this beautiful vampire Mira-sama will be joining us as well. Of course, it can't just be more beautiful to take on the original dungeon. Her abilities will be of great help to us.

 ........This is the one that I knew I had to say something about.
 I think for a moment and open my mouth.

'It's been a long time since I've been back home, so I honestly wanted to tread on my home land for other reasons if I could. The original dungeon doesn't know what's going to happen, and even though it's going to disappear naturally, it doesn't have a set period of time. In order to ensure the safety of the surrounding area, all of the investigators are working to bring the situation under control as soon as possible.

Does that mean you're going to step through?

 A man who looked like a reporter spoke up.
 'In a situation like this, don't get lost.

'If that's what it takes.'

 Thus begins a slightly unusual homecoming.
