Then these will be the remaining materials for the dragon.

　I open the bulky bag that Relisha presents to me and check the contents. There are roughly a dozen or so bags containing a hundred King's Gold Coins, that's 1,200 King's Gold Coins. There's no way to compare it to the currency of the world I was in, but judging from my experience so far, a king's gold coin is about 10 million yen each, that's 12 billion yen. It's a lot of money.
　By the way, the king's gold coin is rarely used except for the dealings of the country or big merchants. We'd be in trouble if it was dropped.
　Moreover, this is only for the dragons that attacked Brunhild. The 350 dragons we killed on Dragones Island are still sitting in Storage.
　I could have sold them all, but I heard that releasing too many of them would cause some inconvenience, so I decided against it. The guild will probably make a lot of money from this material. The guild doesn't seem to do anything to make the public aware of this, so let's sell this one too, in small doses.

''It's quite a rumor in the world. That the Brunhild Knights have won an overwhelming victory against the dragon horde.''
You don't really believe it just by asking, do you?
'Yes, that's true. Even I was on the field and it was unbelievable. But I can tell you that you are definitely strong. I think there will be fewer countries interfering in this country in a strange way.

　Well, thank you for that. I'm tired of having to deal with people like Euron again. I hear that there are some Euronians who still blame the great invasion on Brunhild. They claim that Brunhild must admit his guilt and atone for it, and are demanding reparations. Of course I have no intention of paying.
　It's also said that I was the one who assassinated the New Emperor. Since then, people have come out one after another claiming to be the Heavenly Emperor, claiming that they are his illegitimate children, and Yulon is in a state of anarchy. It's in pretty bad shape, and the country doesn't seem to be functioning properly.
　In this kind of situation, other countries can help, but because of Yulon's past deeds and lying diplomacy, no one will help him. Well, he's a victim of his own negligence. I don't care.
　I'm going to put the money in "storage" and leave the guild. Now we can get everyone a bonus. How much do you think each of us will get? Do you want to be a big man with a big heart?
　When I came to the dungeon transfer gate with that in mind, I called out to Tsubaki-san's subordinate, Suuha-san, who was still setting up a stall.

''Hey,''
Oh. Sir, I got a great bargain for you today.

　Hmm? I wonder what's going on. I crouched down and listened to him as he picked up the items he had placed on the floor.

'Some people died, sir.
'....I see. As long as you're an adventurer, though, you can't help it. Killed by a magical beast?
I guess. He went and never came back. They were all low ranked adventurers, so they probably didn't think about their abilities and acted recklessly.

　You got carried away and went down a tier when you got on a roll. It would be wise to turn back at the point where you say, "There's a slightly stronger opponent out there. It's a matter of life and death, you know.

The only thing that's weird is... The adventurers who died, they had no personal effects other than their guild cards.
'The artifacts? Assuming the flesh is dissolved by the slime, and swords, armor, and other possessions?
''Yes. Well, let me put it this way, but some adventurers are like hyenas, so...

　So there are people out there scavenging the dead guy's weapons, armor, and personal effects. That's not a compliment in itself, but it's not a bad thing.
　If you find a dead adventurer's equipment, it's considered adventurer's etiquette to hand it over to the guild and make sure it goes to the dead guy's friends and family. But you don't have to follow it. It's just good manners.
　There is a story. An adventurer spent a fortune on a piece of armor that was far too expensive for his abilities. He was so happy that he was bragging about it every chance he got. A few days later, he was found dead in a dungeon without his expensive armor.
　Well. Was he killed by a dungeon demon and then stripped of his expensive armor by another adventurer who found it?
　Or was he killed by another adventurer who had his eye on that armor? The truth is in the dark.
　Well, in this case, they didn't seem to have any expensive equipment or tools, so it doesn't seem like they were targeted and killed.

How many people have died so far?
There were 10 guild cards found. None of them have found anything else.

　Ten people died. I'm feeling a little heavy. I still think it would be better to create a safe zone in the dungeon to avoid being attacked by magical beasts or a transport team to the ground. Or at least a shallow level where beginners can wander around.
　We parted from Suuha-san and went to the Transference Gate.
　When I went to the Transitional Gate of Amaterasu, there were boys who were paying the admission fee of one copper coin to the receptionist with ten bronze coins each. They were about twelve or three years old. There were a party of four, two boys and two girls.
　The boys' equipment was a short spear "Short Spear" and scale armor "Skelemail", and the other was a short bow "Short Bow" and leather armor for hunting.
　For the girls, one of them has an iron sword and leather armor, while the other has a beginner's wand and robe. It's just like the fledgling adventurer.
　The four of them excitedly pass through Amaterasu's transition gate and disappear into the dungeon island.
　After listening to what you said earlier. I'm starting to worry about those kids.
　...Should we go after them? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If there was some kind of college for adventurers, they could teach you all kinds of tricks and techniques.
　 We could hire retired adventurers as instructors.
　Just not sure it's sustainable. This? It's not like I'm going to charge you a high entrance fee. Do you want them to pay it after they graduate? If I can get the guild to help me, I'll know what kind of requests I've received and how much money I'm making with my guild card.
　I'll see if I can talk to Relisha about it. She might have some other ideas.

What? Winter night?

　When I turned around when I was approached, I saw Leanne standing there with Paula. She was still dressed in black, gothic style, and was also holding a black parasol.

'Lean? What's up with you, here in this place?
I was just browsing through the store. I think I might get a few good finds. How about you?
Uh..... I was thinking of remodeling the dungeon a bit. I thought it would be convenient to have a safe zone to rest.
Yeah. Sounds interesting. Do you mind if I join you?

　Without waiting for an answer, Leanne takes my arm. Mmm, ugh. Since then, Leanne has been aggressively approaching me. I wonder if he's serious about wanting to marry me.
　They look almost identical to Yumina and her friends, so to the uninitiated, they're probably just brother and sister, but it's kind of embarrassing.
　When I came to the reception desk at the transition gate of "Amaterasu" with Stasta, Leanne took out a single copper coin from the pouch at her waist and handed it to the receptionist and wrote her name on the note that was placed there.
　Even if you didn't register with the Adventurer's Guild, you could still transition if you paid your name and admission fee. The reason for writing my name was so that I would know when I entered and when I left. Of course, if you have a guild card, it will only take a second.
　But I also filled in my name and paid a copper coin. My card is gold, so it stands out. I also wrote my name as "Takeda Shingen", an alias. I didn't have a rule that I had to write my real name on the card, you know. It's just a matter of answering "Takeda Shingen" as well as "Takeda Shingen" when I came back.
　When we passed through the transition gate, the sun was shining brightly on us. It's much warmer here compared to Brunhild in the dead of winter.
　I looked around, but the four rookies from earlier were nowhere to be seen. They must have already entered the dungeon.
　We also took Paula with us and entered the dungeon. Leanne folded her umbrella and activated the 'light'.

''For now, let's go to about three underground levels.

　The "Amaterasu" dungeon was conquered to the sixth basement level, I believe. I open the map and head to the stairs to the second basement level.

''........How can I know all the maps for this dungeon?''
I'm the wrong person to ask. All I can say is, "Okay.

　Leanne mumbles in dismay as she looks at the map projected in the air. I didn't think I'd find it either.
　Without hesitation, I reach the stairs straight away and descend to the basement second floor. While fighting off the occasional demonic beast or demon I encountered, I went down to the third basement floor in the same way. That took a good amount of time.

''I want to create a safe zone, a 'safety zone' where we can take a break around here, but is there any affordable place...''

　Look for a suitable place while looking at the map projected in the air. The map also displays adventurers. It's also a good idea not to interrupt your search.

It's good to be here. It's as close as you can get to the other stairs, and it's a reasonable size.

　The place Leanne pointed to was fairly open, and it was a place where even a few parties could rest. There was also a detour, and it was in a place where they wouldn't have to go through this place. Let's just go here.
　I proceeded through the dungeon while defeating the demonic beasts. The enemies that come out of this dungeon are very annoying. I'd like to get an item to repel those monsters, like the holy water in games.
　Eventually, I arrived at my destination and began to check out the area. There seems to be no traps or hidden doors in particular.
　I used 'Program' and 'Enchantment' to prevent any kind of monster or demon from entering this room. In addition, I'll write a few more words on the wall. Since no monsters and beasts can enter this room, please don't worry and take a break.
　I don't want people to think it's a trap, so I'll sign it.

"Duke and Duchy of Brunhild, Fuyao Mochizuki........

　Hopefully this will reassure you. Well, I didn't see those rookies. Well, I'm a newbie, and I've been hanging around the ground floor.
　I remember their faces, so I'll have to do some searching. Let's see, regular adventurers are marked in blue, and new adventurers I saw at the transition gate are marked in green... well...
　Oh, hi. That's unexpected. They're coming down to the second basement level. And there aren't four of them. There are three other adventurers. Wonder if this party brought them to us.
　? That's strange. This movement........are we fighting a demon?

Are you sure you're a novice at this?
'At least four of them looked like amateurs. They looked like boys and girls who had just come out of the country.

　It's not that they're weak, it's just that there are too many of them or something. Even kobolds and goblins are pretty dangerous if they're attacked by more than 10 of them.
　Let's see the monsters and hexenbiests... Huh?
　Not showing up? No, it's showing up on the other maps. So that means....

What does that mean?
"...these four are being attacked. By the other three adventurers.

　Oh my God.
