349 340 The time to be a pioneer (1/2)

As a dungeon tester and tester section, it has been a few days since it was officially launched.

There are no problems at the moment.

Thanks to the initial policy, it is easy for the newcomers to move with clarity.

I read through the first report, and it was not just a work diary, but a report that identifies areas for improvement and submits suggestions for improvement.

If this kind of document had been available when the first term students were new, the difficulty of the dungeon might have been higher.

Now, what's this month's attack?

Satisfied with that, I do what I have to do.

As well as my job as section chief, I have a job as a dungeon tester.

That's true. This is Amiri's dungeon.

”I'm about to cross that fort. It's been a long time since we stepped foot in there.

And our group, the moonlight stopper, is having a morning meeting in the party room where we have been assigned to each group.

Katsu and Amelia are off at school today.

Minami, who has gone to college as a make-up class, is also absent.

It's me, Kaido, and Kitamiya, a full-time employee, and Kitamiya, who has no lectures today, who are on the offensive.

It's going to be a pain in the ass to capture that fort without recovery and assistance.

I agree with Kitamiya's exposition of her feelings, and wonder if this formation is not capable of capturing the literally ironclad fortress.

You'll be able to find a lot of people who will be able to help you in your quest to get the best out of it.

It's a good idea to go back and improve the hierarchy.　I think we can do a lot of things with that.

When I was reluctant to do so, Kaido proposed an alternative plan.

”Then let's go to the fifty-eight level. Then let's go to the fifty-eight level.

In that vein, Kitamiya tells me what she wants.

She says the floor boss is a large multi-legged golem.

There are many similarities with the spider-shaped golem that guards the fort.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good stepping stone to attack the fort, so let's attack it safely.

Golems were thrown in one after another as if by a spring, and a hail of magical fire from the defensive walls.

It really takes a lot of work to capture that place where the terrain is not perfect.

Even though we know it's our job to capture it, the hardship never ends.

We still have a long way to go.

”What about the rest of the party?

”Team 2's Benny and his friends are diving in the Demon King's dungeon today with Team 5. At first, they said it would be better if there were more people in the dungeon.

Team 3 and Team 6 are going through the dungeon separately. Team 3 is the Tree King's dungeon and Team 6 is the Immortal King's dungeon.

”So Team 4 is the dungeon of the King of the Giants?

I think the current situation is not bad.

Our section is divided into three groups.

One team of us and four of our new recruits.

Benny and two of the overseas team and five of the rookies.

Kato and the Fuji Ranger team of Team 3 and Team 6.

We're called Gumi, Gumi Two and Gumi Three, respectively, and each group supports the other.

One group is in charge of the dungeons of the King of Planes, Dragon King and Giant King.

Two groups are in charge of the dungeons of the Onion King, the Dragon King and the Tree King.

Three sets of dungeons are in charge of the Immortal King, the Tree King, and the Giant King's dungeon.

The dungeons of the Tree King, the Giant King, and the Kiki King overlap each other.

The first two dungeons are generally shallow, so I've given them priority.

The Onion King has been conquered to a certain extent thanks to the help of the other first-year students, while the Immortal King and the Kirou are more advanced than the other four dungeons, thanks to our efforts.

As for the Ki-Oh, it was increased to two due to Kato's team's strong wishes.

We'll be in charge of the Dragon King as a team.

The Dragon King's dungeon is too heavy for a rookie to handle.

We'll lift the ban sooner or later, but that'll wait for a while.

It may change as the game progresses, but we'll be using the same formation for a while.

There is a board in the office to let you know where each party is attempting to go.

You can hook the board to the area, like in the quarters, to see if they are out or not.

Each group discusses which dungeons to conquer and makes a schedule.

This is necessary to make sure it's working well.

That's off to a good start.

Well, it seems to be working fine for now.

I hope this goes on in peace.

And unusually, there is no trouble.

You can hear rumors about other sections, but it's probably because they're also blocking off information, or it's only rumors that I've heard.

You may need to train your ears at some point, but as long as you're not in trouble, it's good for now.

Well, it's no use worrying about it. Kaido, Kitamiya, we'll be leaving soon too.

”Whoosh! We have to show the newbies how cool we are, you know!

I can't see it. Well, I don't want to look like I'm slacking off, and I'm serious about it.

Unlike the newcomers, who seemed to be a mixture of nervousness and excitement, we are now equipped without a hint of nervousness, and lean forward to attack the dungeon.

As we left the party room adjacent to the office, we were passing through the office and heading to the dungeon.

Ah!　Jiro!　You can read this document when you get back from the dungeon!　It's from Master Evia!

”I get it!　Keep it on my desk!

”Yes!　Well, good luck to you in improving my rating!

If you don't say it, I'll honestly try my best.

Ms. Keely, who was doing paperwork, waved a tea envelope in the air.

The fact that she doesn't seem to be in a hurry makes it clear that it's not an emergency.

Then you decide that it can wait until later, and ask her to bring it up to your desk and leave.

As you proceed down the road leading to the dungeon, you can catch a glimpse of testers other than us.

It's so fresh. We didn't have much chance to pass our colleagues before.

Yes.

I agree with Kaido, who nods with deep emotion at the sight.

Indeed, it's become a lot busier.

The last time I was in the shopping district, there were several stores that were bustling like it was deserted.

Conversations between testers and clerks who were seeking new weapons or casing them.

Normally, that would be the right way to look at it, but as someone who has known it before, I felt a little uncomfortable.

”I just can't get used to this look yet.

”There's no way. We're the top party. I guess that's the fame tax.

While thinking about this, I smile and answer Kitamiya, who laments the current situation in a slightly embarrassed voice.

There is no malice in the glances that sting.

Rather, I get the feeling that it's sometimes mixed with admiration.

It's not from the newcomers of the same section, but from the testers of other sections.

”It's not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's kind of embarrassing. Or should I say, it's itchy?

Oh, I know that. Sometimes I feel a bit irritated, you know?
