22 21 Start capturing the dungeon from the scheduled time.txt (1/2)

Occupation Dungeon Tester (full-time) + Recruiter

Officer of the Year: Warrior

Looking at this outfit alone, do you think we're going to a cosplay event, that we are?

'I wish I could say differently, but in this case I can't deny what the South said.

This is our work clothes, after all.

You guys have plenty of time.

The first time I went into a dungeon I was so nervous I was thirsty.

The weight of the armor that matches my body makes me feel more secure and keeps me appropriately tense.

The green robes fluttering in the air, led by Minami and the rest of the members certainly look like a group heading to the event site.

''Minami's outfit makes him look like an adventurous wizard.

I'll punch you in the face if you say so, until you apologize, that is.

South is dressed in armor made of dark brown demon leather like an armadillo under a green robe, carrying a staff engraved with magical silver (mithril) in one hand, and wearing a bowl with magic letters sewn into his forehead .

He's more like a wizard in an adventurer's guild than at court.

And Katsu is checking his leather gloves to make sure they are in place, just like Minami said, at first glance he looks like a priest.

However, you can feel the atmosphere of a physical attack.

He's wearing a gray cassock outfit with metal-reinforced leather gloves on both hands, magic stones on the back of his hands, and the ability to use magic.

In addition, he wears combat boots with iron plates in his toes.

They don't look like rearguard healers.

You're more like a common soldier than these guys.

I don't need my seniors to tell me that. What's up with that mid-bossy armoured warrior outfit?

Shut up!

In contrast, we are the opposite.

Kaido's equipment is iron-based light armor and a helmet...he's a soldier of high rank...a town resident in an RPG.

But he's equipped with a spear, a one-handed sword and a shield... an orthodox looking soldier.

I'm a Japanese-style armored warrior mixed in with a Western-style fantasy.

The black base with red splashes here and there would look like something out of the Warring States period.

He doesn't have the horns, but he's wearing a faceplate.

This would have been perfect if he had been armed with a sword or a tachi instead of a greatsword mineral tree.

And now we're all set.

It's 9:00 AM.

It's in front of the dungeon entrance.

When I've identified each piece of equipment, I open my mouth.

It's been a long time, that it has. Especially the training period (tutorial) was long, that it was.

I don't care about the South. I've been here longer and I've been fighting those two.

Tadashi, you've been slipping into the wall a lot.

I'm sure each of you has your own thoughts, but just listen to me.

Takes out a worn-out notepad.

It's a heavy-duty leather cover that I carry with me when I go into dungeons.

I open it up and look for information I can pass along.

”You are in the King's dungeon, a dungeon with a golem as its main character.

Oh, it's called a rematch, that it is.

Unfortunately, we have to advance to the fifteenth level to fight him, so that's when we'll have to beat him up.

So the decision to hit him was made.

”Of course. ...... Back to the story. Normally, you can pass on the first and second tiers, which I've completed attacking, but I'll try again from the first tier to get used to it.

The goal is to become a dungeon, so seeing is believing.

It's easier to learn by letting them try than by teaching them.

All right, I'm going to tell you what the monsters look like, so get it into your head.

””Yes.”

I've already given you the outline of the game, but I'm going to teach you in detail to help you review the game.

While flipping through your notes, you will explain the characteristics of the golem and the types of monsters that appear in the game, finish explaining the first layer of the boss, the pinball golem, and close your memo pad.

The above is what I know, but this is only a rough guide and I think the monsters in the dungeon have been upgraded, so don't get too confident.

””What?”

'To be more specific, the bosses are not just explosions and stings, but also a mixture of individuals like smoke screens, poisons and stun grenades. Perhaps the monsters roaming around have been upgraded as well .

””Yeah.”

I can very well understand what this guy is saying to my words and the three of you who are staring at me.

I don't have any choice, but to attack them, find out their problems and come up with a plan for improvement. That's our job.

In other words, the more I conquer a dungeon, the more difficult it becomes, that it is?

Let's just say it's true.

A masochistic game, that is.

'A job is a masochistic way to live your life, right?'

I think I said it better.

What we're doing is just showing it in the extreme.

All jobs, big or small, are the same.

But I can understand the South's reaction.

”Well, there's an end.

Where are you headed?

Until we can't capture it anymore and our president is satisfied.

It's like never ending.

A job is a never-ending process. You know that, don't you?

It doesn't end while you can capture it, and even if you can't capture it anymore, it will continue if the top management is not convinced.

Even though the sales will not be higher than this, the top management will seek for profit.

There may be a lull in the game, but there is virtually no end in sight.

By the way, how far is the attack over?

”I only managed to get to the second level, and beyond that, there are so many traps I don't even know the whole picture. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Is this the part where you laugh?

If you don't laugh, your job will be depressing and you'll be done for the day. And you know, a job that you thought was impossible to do alone can be done with a couple of people. It's better that you know what's coming.

Is that so?

That's just the way it is.

It's a job that's getting harder and harder, and there's no end in sight, but it's not endless.

And as I told Katsura, we were stuck in a trap that prevented us from advancing, but thanks to the magic of the south, we can now substitute searchers (scouts).

At least we don't have to worry about the traps anymore.

There's nothing more unpleasant than a stagnant job, but it's easy to be comfortable with a hop-step job.

”Now, the positions were set up just as we discussed in the briefing. I'll be at the vanguard, Kaido at the raid, and Minami at the rear, and Katsura is provisional as far as coordination is concerned. Hey! We'll tweak it to find a better way. But I'll tell you one thing. Don't think about what's best for you. People will cut you down if you only care about yourself. I know this sounds like a hassle, but this is a necessary action. Always be aware of your surroundings. It will turn around and help you, okay?

That may sound awkward to say, but it's a physical job, no joke, and it will come back to you if you don't say it around here.

”Ugh.

Yes, that I do.

Yes, sir.

We'll play it safe.

Leader!　I forgot my yellow helmet, that I did!

'Senior! I forgot my red light stick!

Katsu, give these guys what they want instead of their lunches.

I understand.

”I'm sorry!

He who holds the stomach controls the world.

The two of you on your knees will stand up and look at your destination.

That's all I have to say.

It's not exactly a pre-work smoke, but I'll light a cigarette.

Now, boys, it's time to get to work.

Finally, that's a job that's a very fantastical prelude, that it is.

”Don't mess with me, South.

But what we're about to do is a fantasy, so you really don't know what's going to happen in life.

I walk towards the gate, followed by the three remaining men.

The huge elevator doors slowly open to greet us, its massive body swinging open from side to side.

It's something I'm used to, but the others aren't.

I entered the dungeon with a bit of caution.

Finally, my adventure is about to begin!

The air still feels heavy.

I wonder how they're going to make it.

Don't be alarmed. We're in a dungeon.

The reaction of each of them is different, South is honestly impressed, Sheng reacts to the concentration of air or magic power, Kaido is interested in the manufacturing process rather than the strategy, but there is no time to be stunned.

The battle command is left to Minami, okay?

''Yes, that I do, and let's see what I can do with my MMO-trained command abilities, that I do!

'If you can afford to talk big, I don't see a problem.

”Ha ha ha, this is it. This is true fantasy, that it is. The tutorial is just a decoration, that it is. Let the big boys figure it out, that it is!

I'm worried.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that we'll have you covered if things go wrong.

It may come as a surprise to you, but in the netherworld, Minami was a submaster of a large guild, let alone in reality.

It seems that he has experience leading large scale battles at events, so I let him lead the coordination, but Minami, who can see the whole picture, moved better than me, who is the vanguard, giving orders.

Well, there was no way we could win because our opponent was Suela.

The worrying factor is whether you'll be able to demonstrate that in a real battle.

That only goes to show how much experience matters.

You three are the only ones who will be in combat. You'll join the boss battle, but you're going to have to do it on your own.

To make up for that experience, I try to stay out of combat as much as possible.

I'll be wary, but even though this dungeon has been upgraded, I've been here many times.

Opponents who can already be cut down by a single sword will rob these guys of their experience.

It's the same at the second level, but the amount is increasing so that's where you'll join in as expected.

Senior Kaido will be the vanguard and I will be the rear guard with Katsu in the middle, that I will be. I would like to ask for you to be the leader, that I am?

Yeah, no problem.

Immediately, a formation is formed under Minami's direction as he begins to take command.

Searching Magic.

Meanwhile, Minami invokes a single spell.

A pale blue sphere floats in, beating like a heart, and flickers.

The function of this magic is like radar.

It's a useful spell that can help you find hidden monsters and traps depending on your experience.

Minami says she can feel the waves coming out around that sphere to find out what happens.

We'll go to the second floor first, that we will.

Are you okay with this?

It's easier to know where we are, that it is. And I'll try not to avoid fighting as much as possible, that I will. If you can't, you'll go back halfway through, that I will.

For a fantasy fantasy, Minami's decisions come from solid hands.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get the most out of it.

It's a good idea to modify this magic a bit more, but there's not much information, that is.

Probably the ones the South is talking about are Woodkid and Woodpuppet.

I was looking for a reaction by sound or something, but as expected, they were no match for radar.

I think just being able to measure the opponent's distance by one person is pretty good enough.

I'm the one who has pulled out the mineral tree, but I'm just watching your progress and keeping an eye on the surroundings.

”Kaido-senpai, please save your magic, that you do not need it. When it's a minor injury, Katsura will bandage it to conserve magic, that he will treat it with bandages. I will restrain my movements first, that I will.

As soon as you are within range of capturing a figure, Minami is surprisingly calm and begins to formulate her magic.

''First of all, I will reduce the number of shield holders by suppressing them, that I will reduce their numbers, that I will ask Kaido-senpai to cut in, that I will ask you to cut in.

Whoosh!

You can take a swing at him, that you can.

What's the point of having a healer hit on you?

That's true, that's true, but it's a 'part-time job' for now, that's true.

Each of them move into battle positions as Kaido draws his twin swords with great spirit.

Enough of an initial move, now we just have to see the results.

The opponents are a berserk wood kid and a wood puppet. Previously, both hands were the same weapon, but the kid has a hammer and a knife, and the puppet's hand is still a spear, but one arm is a shield.

Three against three, evenly matched, but first time in a dungeon and first time against an opponent I'd never seen before, I thought I'd see how these guys worked, but the results came out easily.

”?　It's not very responsive.

Hmm, you didn't need magic, that you didn't?

You can't be too careful.

Kaido quickly cut down the wood puppet that had been stopped by South's magic, and with the returning blade, he cut down the Kid as well .

There was also South's magic in support, but it was clearly a move with a level difference .

In a group fight, I was impressed that there was so much leeway, but I was always tense, which makes me a little sad.

It's a good thing that a brave man doesn't struggle against slime, that he doesn't.

That's true, you can't progress in the game if you're tripping over slime.

I've heard that the slime here should run away as fast as it can when it comes out, that it should.

Why?

''The mucus is a strong acid, and it's written in the materials that physical attacks won't work at all, and it absorbs a certain amount of magic as well, that I've read.

Those powerful creatures look like they could be in a horror movie or an alien movie.

The weakness is flour, that it is.

It's a surprisingly easy way to take it down!

It's nice to have this kind of alertness about your surroundings.

It's nice to have a little mental space.

Hey, we've got another customer.

Za?

South, you're forgetting to be careful.

Ugh, I'm finding it hard to keep using this magic, that I am.

Please.

If you let them know that the enemy is surprisingly close to you, where did the initial leeway go, the south reactivated the magic in a hurry.

Being careless is a great enemy.

The reason for this is because we were overwhelmed, but although the atmosphere of the two are similar, the letters and meaning are very different.

I'm redundant, but soon we'll be at full strength.

I'll fix this before it becomes a fatal blow.

That's a lot of battles!

'Wow, it links to sound, that it does.

Can you get together?

Well, I underestimated the dungeon, that I did. If the ants get together, they will kill the elephants, that they will. It's a little early, that it is, but you need to conserve your strength if you can afford to wait and see, that it is. Senior Kaido will increase your rotation efficiency, that he will increase the efficiency of your rotation, that he will increase the efficiency of your 'Mighty Body'!

I guess the monsters Kaido is fighting against aren't the only ones trapped in front of him.

He's going to cast a strengthening spell on Kaido to reduce their numbers.

”Leader, let's move, that we will take position in front of the boss's room before we are surrounded, that we will.

Hooray.

So far, the movement south is fine .

Although it's a game, I've been doing something similar to this, and I've experienced combat, albeit virtual, in my training.

I think he's able to reconcile his mind with reality.

''Hmmm... Without a leader, there's only one attacker, Kaido-senpai, and in order to increase processing efficiency, we need another rear guard attacker, that we need to have one more attacker.

You should have just let the South do it.

It would not be fun if I did it, that I did. A wizard is a person with a disease or a beautiful natural beauty who makes things happen, that I did.
