Hey, I'm so excited for this morning!

　After all, it's finally time to attack the prolin dungeon.

　I'm as lively as I was last night, and I gather up my thoughts to tell everyone my plan while I eat my breakfast.

　What, manic-depressive?　No, no, of course not.

　I'm motivated to be number one in the world and I've had a huge appetite this morning. It's just that I'm a little unorganized, a little lethargic, and I have no motivation for anything other than being number one in the world, but I'm sure ...... will be fine.

"I think I'm going to dive proline today.
''I'm cocky ...... but I was wondering if the Blacksmith's Guild wouldn't approve of us attacking it on our own.
'What?　Why?
"Conquering a dungeon is a multiplayer game. It's a form of 'mass capture' and is regularly led by the Adventurer's Guild. So, even if a team of people who don't know who or where declare that they have conquered the dungeon alone: ......
Does that mean they'll think I'm lying?
Yes, sir.
Can I get a mithril alloy in front of you?
''Yes. Apparently mithril isn't just something you can get from a proline boss, but also from regular demons.

　Oh... Tension sagging case revealed.

"So why don't you go around and collect a bunch of mithril?
...... it was. You could do many rounds.

　Yukari reconsiders, saying a few words, "It's so unlikely I forgot about it.
　Silvia tilts her head and thinks about it with her. As soon as the difficult conversation began, Eco was playing with the leaves of the houseplants that were swaying in the gaping wind, tapping them with her hands.

''Then it looks like we can deal with the blacksmith guild without waiting for a group attack. But the Adventurer's Guild that has been speared will not be silent.''
'Oh, I see.'

　I don't know how often they do this, but if they kidnap them from the side, they will crush the guild in front of the many adventurers they have called upon. No doubt they would resent me.

''Then why don't you participate in the group attack and show us how the Second-dono can be a lioness?

　Sylvia said, with a lot of question marks above her head. It's a good point in her own way. But there's one fatal flaw.

'If only we could get an F-rated team in.
Mmm, okay. ......

　There has never been a better time to be a successful adventurer than in a group of unexplored dungeons. There must be fierce fighters from all over the kingdom. There's no way they'll let a team of rookie F-rang horse bones in there.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get the best out of them.

The best strategy is to contribute to the Adventurer's Guild as much as possible and be allowed to participate in a few more group attacks.

　Yukari says calmly. She had probably intended to do so from the beginning. Otherwise, she wouldn't have argued that she should have registered as an adventurer as of yesterday.

　But then, how many months would that take?　I don't feel like sticking with the quicksand. Is this because I'm still thinking like a game?　Or is it the difference in time perception between dark elves with relatively long lifespans and ordinary humans?

............

　Then it occurs to me.

''Hey, Yukari. The point is, if your adventurer rank is high enough, you can join a group attack, right?　I mean, if you're A-ranked, can you even admit that you conquered it alone?
''Yes, yeah ...... that's the extreme case, but it will be. But wouldn't it be more efficient to earn the right to participate in a group attack by contributing steadily rather than aiming for an A-rank,

No, I've got a better idea.
The good way?

　Yes, "that method" that didn't work for shit in the Mevion era - "The Bombing Bomber".

'Good!　Now let's get to the prolin dungeon.

　I'm like, "What? I walked away with a bewildered group of people in full spirit.



　Bomb Bombers.
　This was a way to raise adventurer ranks at a high speed.

　However, in Mevion, adventurer ranks are a meaningless title, an element that was immediately discarded because the higher up you are in the game, the more useless it becomes. However, even for such a worthless thing, there are those who have found a way to raise their ranks as "maybe this is the fastest", which shows the diversity of net gamers.

　The fastest way to raise your rank must have taken as little as six days, which is old information that has been almost completely forgotten, as it was hard to find people, even in the age of Internet gaming, who were willing to spend six days to raise their adventurer rank. I just happened to remember it in connection with a "certain technique" used in this method. The fact that it seems to be useful now makes me realize that knowledge is power.

　Well, well.
　Grade A in 6 days. How on earth did I do it?　You may think that the game is simple, but it's actually quite simple.

　All you have to do is collect "magic crystals", which are automatically generated at regular intervals in dungeons, and deliver them to the Adventurer's Guild.

　Magic Crystals are the most efficient way to earn guild contribution out of all the unlimited deliverable items, and as long as you collect them in bulk, there is no better way to raise your rank.

　The Prolin dungeon generates about 128 magic crystals per day, so if you deliver 83 magic crystals per day, you'll have accumulated a guild contribution equivalent to an A-rank in 6 days. In other words, if you can deliver about 500 of these magic crystals, you will achieve A rank.

　Why would he only deliver 83 magic crystals per day? Since all magic crystals do not grow at the same time, they are created little by little in a fixed cycle, so there is always a waiting period. Therefore, as long as you don't keep getting them without sleeping, the maximum number of magic crystals you can get is about 85 per day, no matter how hard you try.

　Then, where in the world are these magic crystals located in the dungeon? The answer is the hidden room.

　There are a large number of magic crystals in these hidden rooms. Therefore, if you can get to the hidden room, your A-rank will be a small fraction of par.

　And the way to get to the hidden room is a hidden technique called "Explosive Jump," which is the origin of the Bakugae Bomber.

　The Prolin dungeon is also the dungeon with the most hidden rooms of all the B grade dungeons. If you're looking to collect magic crystals, this is the place to go.

　This is the reason why I like Prolin other than the "vast and beautiful caves". The many hidden elements in this game are quite tantalizing to gamers. Explosive jumps and various other techniques to capture every inch of the game were quite pleasurable at the time.

　Now, let's wrap up the story.

　We are going to accumulate contributions to the Adventurer's Guild in the next six days to reach A rank. In order to do that, we have to deliver 83 magic crystals a day. Hence, you must enter one of the many hidden rooms in the Prolin dungeon. And the way to enter those hidden rooms is--


Explosive Jampu?

　It's called the Explosion Jump, also known as the "Misery Jump. The reason why it's so miserable is because it's a fire-attribute and a Sanno type, or Hi-San for short.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

It's a good idea. I'm going to shoot the wind-attribute sundress at her feet the moment she jumps, and then Silvia and I, in turn, will shoot the fire-attribute sundress at her feet with our bows. I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it. It's all 'downward'."

　In short, it's a "secret technique that allows you to jump higher than normal. If you are good at it, you can jump nearly 20 meters high. This is a technique that can be done by one person if the Sanno Kata, Kakugyo Shield Technique, Gui Ma Shield Technique and Golden General Shield Technique are all 9-dan, but if the skill rank is low, this technique requires two or more people.

''Okay!''

　Eco replied cheerfully.

'Hey, are you okay?　Are you sure about this?

　Sylvia says with a worried look on her face. I'm sure Eco's MGR will be fine, but should we rehearse ...... just in case?

　I looked around again.
　It's a big, big dungeon, wide both vertically and horizontally, with gray, shiny, craggy rock surfaces all over the place exposed. However, the vertical hole was quite deep and the horizontal hole was quite intricate, making it dim and eerie if not lit by strong light.

　The demons that were in the vicinity have already been wiped out. The Prolin dungeon is riddled with large demons called 'golems', which are made of rocks, but they are not much of a threat because the ninth level of the Flying Wheel Archery can only produce one or two shots. This is a great way to improve your skills.

　And the terrain of the prolin dungeon is divided into 2 shapes: large caves that look like thick trunks blowing vertically through the air, and small caves that stretch up and down and around like the branches and leaves of these caves.
　There are hidden rooms everywhere, and it is extremely difficult to find them all. Even the world's best player doesn't remember where everything is connected to where. Therefore, if you were to explode and jump and blow up to a large cave, you would be lost, so you need to choose your practice location carefully.

"Okay, let's practice here.

　I decided on a place that looked okay and pulled Eco over to the wall and aimed at its feet and prepared the Wind Attribute, Sanno Type.

''Let's go, jump!''

　When Silvia was ready, I gave the order.

　My "wind-attribute and Sanno-type" made the air swell up right underneath Eco's jump, and Eco, who was blocked by my "Angular Shield Technique," was launched with a thud of about 3 meters. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of it. The effect of the knockback effect becomes a vertical propulsion force, and it flies up even higher than twice as high as the one before. And finally, I finish with my "Fire Attribute Samuno Type" and "Guillermo Archery" combination. After playing with the "Golden General Shield Art", Eco jumped up to a height of 15 meters from the ground. That's a little over 15 meters from the ground. This is enough.

''Kyah!

　Eco comes down with a big smile on its face.

　.............

'Good, is that alright!
"...... Oh shit, I forgot about that!
What?

　Yukari tempers, I realize now, and Sylvia starts to panic.

　I wasn't thinking about the landing!　Mevion would have had no problem with a little HP reduction, but this is reality here. I can't let Eco hurt me!

'Eco!　Angular line!

　On the spur of the moment, he shouted that.

　Immediately after, Eco held up his shield. I make a simple pool with the Water Attribute, Sanno Type at the drop spot.

　Boom!　And then the shield and the water collided and popped and splashed like a geyser.

'............!'

　When he lands, Eco sits flat on the ground and looks surprised, rolling his eyes.
　Then, quizzically, he tightens his expression and stands up.

''Hahahahaha!''
　A soaked Eco rushes over to us at once with her ears pinned up. He's breathing hard!　I was worried that I had hurt myself somewhere, so I ran over to him.

'Sendo!　Again!　Again!

　Eco urged me to do so with a very amused look on her face. It bounces around me and begs me for more.

　I'm glad you're not injured, but ...... I feel like I've lost out by worrying about you. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us.

The next time you're on the air.
Okay!

　I told him and proceeded to the place I wanted to see.



'I got them all!'
Okay, come on down.

　There are about three points of mass generation of magic crystals in the Prolin dungeon. All of them are hidden rooms, so high that you can't climb them without being able to jump miserably. It wouldn't be impossible to climb them even if you put some ropes on them, but if you spend that much time, the golems will spring up again behind you, and most of them probably don't even know the hidden rooms exist in the first place.

　Maybe that's why I accumulated 100 magic crystals just by letting Eco collect them after one round of three points. The place where the crystals were generated was untouched. There was a large amount of huge natural magic crystals that seemed to have never been taken by anyone. If the pace continues at this pace, Yotchan will have plenty of time to reach A rank in 6 days.

''Alright, let's go deliver them~''

　We went back to the ground in a lumpen mood.



'This, this is ......!

　The guild's receptionist rolled her eyes in surprise.

'Ho ...... real ......!　Magic crystals, so much ......!

　She looked at me and the magic crystal in turn with an astonished expression as she opened her mouth wide.
　Wow, it feels really good.

''Our team, you'll get a C-rank with this, right?

　The adventurer's guild's rank advancement rules are all about "guild contribution". I'm not sure if I've ever heard of this, but I'm pretty sure I've heard of it. I'd like the system to remain the same if possible.

'...... yeah, yeah, yes!　It will!

　Okay, okay, that's good~. That's a C-rank from F. The Adventurer's Guild is much easier than I thought. Now all I have to do is hope that they don't say something like, "You need to deliver more than just magic crystals to get to rank A. (Flag)

I'll deliver it all to the guild. All money will be deposited in full. Rank is to be raised individually and as a team.
All right!
'Thank you, Camelia. I'll bring you more tomorrow.
Oh, I'm so sorry.

　I looked at the name tag on her chest, called her name and gave her a quick wink.

　...... It was such a freaky and racy act that I got goose bumps all over my body doing it myself, but the effect seemed to be excellent when you do it with this appearance, and the receptionist, Camellia, was looking away from me with her cheeks red and her mellow eyes. Even though it's a notorious adventurer's guild, it looks like a good relationship can be established between the receptionist and the receptionist girl.


''Second-dono .......''
............ master.

　There's a price to pay, though, in the form of a white stare from his friends.
　Or rather, Yukari's eyes are too scary. Was it that creepy? Well, I suppose so.

"Huh?

　Eco is her usual a**h*le face. I felt a kindness in my heart and gently closed her cute little mouth while stroking her chin.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a look at ....... I'm going to be collecting crystals for the next five days, and I'm going to defeat Golem to gain experience. I'm going to be able to get to A-rank, then I'm going to attack Prolin and do some laps, and then I'm going to use my mithril alloy to make a lot of money. After earning money, I'll buy a house in the capital. That's how it should work.

　I talk about my future prospects in a deceptive manner.
　Sylvia and Yukari still didn't stop jit eyeing me, but they were on board with the conversation.

''Hmm. I agree with you about gaining experience as an added bonus. Do you want to prioritize Yukari's blacksmithing skills for a while yet?
''No, blacksmithing doesn't need to be a priority anymore. We'll set the experience distribution evenly among all members.
So, I guess that means we're each going to have to improve our skills again.

　Sylvia crossed her arms and nodded approvingly. Her face broke out a little. I guess she's happy to improve her skills and become stronger, probably. I understand - I was like that in the beginning. I think I enjoyed the game as a game the most back then.

By the way, Sylvia-san is a magic archer and Eco is a shield technique, but ...... what is your master going to raise?

　As if suddenly curious, Yukari asked me.

　...... Hmm, it's me, right?
　It's a good time to raise that thing - archery, swordsmanship, and sorcery, and it's time to raise that thing.
　I turned my gaze to Yukari and opened my mouth in a full-blown manner.

''I'm going to raise my summoning technique starting tomorrow.
