But things don't work out for the best.

I'd like to scream for help, but if the supervisor who coordinated this dungeon says so, then I guess there's no way to escape by any other route than the one set up.

Well, then,

”Yes, running is the fastest way out. There's no fork in the road, just run in a straight line.

There is only one thing you can do.

Tuck the mineral tree into the back brace and assume a crouching start position.

Even if she is intact, you won't have time to relax and escape the dungeon when you hear that Suela is down.

You'll increase the circulation of magic and try to reach the best specs you can now.

Copy that ...... and wait for me, Suela!

Calming your breath, you turn your attention to the magic in your body and slowly speed up the flow.

The flow becomes a muddy stream and begins to run through the magical crests.

You are conscious to keep it in order, and the moment the circulating, increasing, and wild magic power is stabilized, you put all your strength into your right leg and run as fast as you can.

It doesn't matter if the ground beneath my feet is shattered and splattered behind me.

Now all I can think about is moving forward.

Faster and faster, faster and faster.

Break through the wall of wind and color.

My brain can't keep up with the visual information, and even though it's black and white, I don't slow down, I don't slow down, I focus on object identification, and I run through the obstacles.

Ignore all traps and obstacles by relying on your leg strength to beat the running testers.

If there's a cliff, ignore gravity.

If there are valleys, run through the sky.

If there's a trap, you'll already be gone by the time it fires.

Just focus on getting to her.

......

Each time you do so, it speeds up the circulation of magic and strengthens you, even if your body creaks.

While checking the limits of your body to see if you can go one more step or another, you can feel the sensation of your transmission nerves while still trying to figure out the boundary between broken and unbroken.

The moment you realize that you care so much about Suela, you realize that you didn't want to know this way and smile for a moment, but you immediately tie your mouth shut.

Run through the falling rocks before they fall.

Kick the spear to smash it.

You'll kick your spear into pieces and break the web of magic that covers the area.

Suela, I'm coming!　I'm coming!

Move your feet faster, wave your hands vigorously.

Don't think about the rest.

Just think about getting to her.

Like a gatekeeper, you swiftly pull out the mineral tree at your back and slice through it at the crossing.

You'll regain the momentum you had lost by stepping into the water and adjust your posture again to run.

Kaido, who was already at the front, is far behind.

The distance you ran means that the course should already be in its second half.

The obstacles are getting more and more complicated to make you think so.

Still, it's enough to slow down your running speed at best.

Rather than being able to respond flexibly, the magical resources that had been turned into speed have returned.

I filled my impatience with thoughts of dealing with the obstacle in front of me, and when I finally caught a visual of the dungeon's exit in front of me, I put my gears into the last acceleration (top gear) at once.

With a roar and a gust of wind, I jumped into the light, not thinking about deceleration at all.

”It's still Jiro Tanaka who came out at the top!　He did a great job of overtaking the rage from last place!　That's it!　You're scoring!　Where are you going?

You can hear the play-by-play of a different dark elf woman from Kaylee, but you ignore her.

You'll leave the dungeon's event hall without regard to the goal.

You'll drift underfoot and slide into the gate to return to the office, and when you finally get back to the office, you'll be the first to head for the infirmary.

The distance to your destination is so close at hand, but every step is annoying.

You long to go faster and faster, but the distance remains the same.

You're trying to improve your speed, but the unreasonable strengthening you've done on the way here is starting to take its toll on your body around the second half of the race.

You have magic power, but you can't circulate it cleanly.

The speed range, which is far from the fastest, irritates me.

d*mn it!

Still clenching my teeth, I sprint through the last sprint and apply the emergency brake in front of the doctor's office.

Tiles and boots scrape against each other, a high-pitched sound echoes, and my body slides sideways as I apply the brakes.

I reach for the door handle and force it shut before the inertia comes to a halt.

I don't know how long it took me to get here.

All I know is that it took me a while, and it's slowing me down.

But still.

Suela!

Take this one step faster.

Jiro?　What's going on?　So much hurry, and the job is

With that in mind, I summoned up my last ounce of strength to enter the infirmary and found a cheerful-looking Suela lazily eating an apple on the bed.

Next to her is Memoria holding a plate of peeled apples.

Both of them look at me as if startled by my sudden appearance, their eyes fluttering this way.

”Suela?　You've fallen.

The scene is quite peaceful and my mind can't keep up with it.

Yes, I just fell over when I was sick. No need to make such a big deal out of it.

Oh, yeah. Oh, good.

Suela collapsed and was taken to the doctor's office.

What was the point of me running here in such a hurry with that information alone?

When I opened the lid of the box, Suela said it was nothing serious, and my body weakens as if to get rid of the pressure I had been under.

”Well, Suela, I know it's hard to say, but you'll find out sooner or later. I know it's hard to say, but you'll find out.

”Yes, but ......

If you don't like it, I can do it myself.

”......

I knew something was up!

But it seems that the box was double-bottomed, and Suela deliberately mentioned that there was nothing in it.

Then we hear from Memoria who knows what's going on.

When I forcefully raised my body and turned my head, I saw Suela with a serious expression on her face.

”To tell you the truth.

Her usual confused tone of voice is not usual, and I stand to the side to see if something is wrong.

What's going on?

”......

I walk up to her and gently take her hand and look into her eyes.

You hold Suela's hand gently but strongly, as if to convey your determination to support her no matter what, and you look intently into her eyes.

She is silent for a few seconds, and then...

”You're done!

He said a hell of a lot of things.

”Did you do it?

”Yes, you and my child

”...... eeeeeeeeee!!!!

It took me a few seconds to understand.

In my astonished mind, I saw a vision of Ms. Keely smiling the devil's smile that the prank had succeeded behind the scenes.

Tanaka Jiro, twenty-eight years old, with a girlfriend.
