139-Episode 11 Come with me




 There was a lot of confusion, but the test to become an adventurer was over.
 Six people passed the final exam.
 Of course, I passed, too.

"Let's get in the dungeon now!

 As soon as I received my guild card, the proof of my adventuring, I headed to the dungeon.

 The entrance to the dungeon is located in the center of the city.
 It is surrounded by thick walls and heavily guarded.
 It's unlikely that any demons will come out of the dungeon, but since it's in the middle of town, it's probably necessary to relieve the anxiety of the surrounding residents.

 The gate at the entrance and exit seemed to be constantly controlling entry and exit.
 I present the guild card I just received and go inside.

 The inside of the wall was reasonably spacious, as if they've secured a space for combat just in case.
 And there were adventurers camping and street vendors dealing in food and items needed in the dungeon.

'I guess we don't need a dungeon map. We've mapped out ten levels of dungeons. Moreover, it includes data on the monsters that appear in the dungeon. If it's your first time diving, this is a must-have. You can get a gold coin for a great deal!

 I decided to buy it because the street vendor recommended it to me.

'Maido ari'

 Looking at the map, I found that this dungeon has a rather complex structure.
 Even on the same level, there are stairs here and there and many passages intersecting each other.
 And it's vast.

 The entrance to the dungeon was a vertical hole about ten meters in diameter.
 There is a spiral staircase that surrounds it.

 When I descended the stairs, I found a space that resembled an ancient temple.
 A corridor continued ahead and to the left and right, and it seemed that the path was quickly divided.

 The map showed the shortest route with arrows, so we followed it to the right.

 Since it's only one level, the demons that appear are all slimes, goblins and other small fry.
 There were few traps, and I easily found a staircase that led to the next level.






 At first I came to the tenth level that the map I purchased covered.

'There's no Mira...'

 I haven't been able to meet Mira so far.
 Should we continue on to a lower level, or should we turn back and look for the level we've been on?

 While I was pondering, a group of three people who seemed to be adventurers came running from the road ahead, looking impatient.
 It's a party of three women.

''Ta, please help!

 If you look closely, you'll see that you're being attacked by a swarm of demons.
 Orcs and trolls, which are common demons in this hierarchy.

'Join them.'

 I told them and walked past their sides to stand in front of the crowd of demons that were approaching me.

"'Divine Sky Slayer'.

 An invisible slash ran through the void, cutting the demon's torso in both directions collectively.

''It's over.''

 When I turned around, the trio were stunned.

'What? What did you just do?
Wow....

 All three of them must be about twenty years old.
 Judging by their equipment, one is a swordsman, the other is a wizard, and the last one is... a bandit?
 From the looks of it, he doesn't appear to be injured.

''Thank God I mean, he's insanely strong.

 Female thieves (?) thanks me.
 Then he looks like he's huffing and puffing.

'Yes, that's right........! You can.........!
?
'In fact, one of our guys got caught in the transference trap!

 She appeals to me with a tense look.

''That transference trap........the amount of magic power generated when it was activated was quite large, and if it was poorly executed, it could have sent me to the depths......! But we can't go there by our own strength. If you're going to go into the depths, you'll have to find her!

 I ponder on that suggestion.
 In any case, I'm looking for Mira, and since I have no idea what I'm looking for, I have no choice but to search in the dark.
 But will the novice Mira really be diving deeper than this?

'She just became an adventurer... and she's only ten years old. She's very good at hiding, so I don't think she'll be easily beaten up... but she's probably crying with anxiety by now.

 Apparently, there are adventurers similar to Mira.
 When I think about it, I feel like I can't leave them alone, however, it wouldn't be wrong for an older brother to put his sister ahead of a stranger.

''I'm sorry, but........''
Well, her name is Mira, but...
'What? Mira? Did you just say Mira?
Yes, yes....
Mila is my sister!
"What?

 After listening to the details, it seems that Mira had formed a party with this trio and was hiding in this dungeon.

''Mira, just wait and see.

 Knowing that my sister is in danger, I break off from the trio and run as fast as I can.
 Even if they are there, they'll probably be a liability, and it would be faster to find them on my own.



    ◇ ◇ ◇



The task I was personally assigned by Master Kureha was a nerve-wracking one, but it looks like it went well.

 She watched as Arel ran at breakneck speed and patted her heart in her chest.
 Next to her, the two women rolled their eyes.

''How fast...''
Are they really people?

 She thanked them both.

'Thank you both for your help. Here's your reward.
Oh, thanks, man. That was a lot of easy work, though.
Really. I mean, it doesn't make any sense at all.

 In fact, I wasn't even at a party with these two guys.
 They were just strangers who had just met each other.
 They had captured an adventurer who was based in this city and asked her to form a party.

 She was under the control of [Shinobihime] Kureha.
 She had been given the role of tricking the young man from earlier and keeping him in this dungeon for as long as possible.
 For this purpose, she had gone to the trouble of taking the test and registering as an adventurer.

(Even so, it's almost impossible to find a single person in such a vast dungeon.......you didn't even pretend to be lost at all....... (Are they really trying to find him?)

 Of course, the sister the young man was looking for wasn't in this dungeon.

 And that was when the young man came back to us.
 Somehow the young man came back to us.
 She tenses up, wondering if her lie has been exposed.

''D-Do you need help?''
You're not a thief by trade, are you?
'What? Oh, yes, yes, but....

 She was actually a [Senior Position] [Jounin] of the [Senior Position], but if she said that, there was a chance that she might be mistaken for an Imperial official, so she lied about it.
 However, that would lead to disastrous results.

'Then it's just fine. Come with me.''
What?

 He was suddenly picked up by a young man.
 It's a way of holding it as if it were a piece of luggage.

 And just like that, the young man runs towards the back of the dungeon.

'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
