Chapter 258: “Pretty rare” ALT floors (1/2)

Chapter 258: “Pretty rare” ALT floors

Entrance, Garden, Path, Valley, Maze…

In the grand labyrinth of Yaso-Katsui, each floor has their own trait and, with that as a guideline, they have their own ‘general term’ for it

Aside from Entrance which we are currently in, it see on where you descent from, but the floor shares similarities to a certain extent

And this information is thanks to the hard work of the Wise, and it is how the information brokers can live by

“Thanks for the help, Gonzou If there’s anything ain?” (Makoto)

“Of course! You can search for me here or you can call me at the Adventurer Guild and I will be there!” (Gonzou)

Gonzou was chuckling to hi dissatisfied as he nods at my words

…The effectivity of silver coins is…incredible

The infor he had to say and has finished his job

We were able to ask quite a lot of things, so we didn’t feel like it was a loss either

“Now then, Hokuto, have you found a number of paths that can take us until the 5th floor?” (Makoto)

I try asking about theon it while ere hearing the information of Gonzou

“There’s around 40 routes that can take us to the 5th floor, around 20 routes that can take us to the 10th floor; this is only a conjecture, but I have found 3 routes that can take us even further down” (Hokuto)

“Pro routes that can take us further down after the 10th floor huh Nice Let’s go with those Mio, can you choose which one of those 3 look like the best?” (Makoto)

“Understood Hokuto, which ones?” (Mio)

“Yes, it is these 3 that I think are good…” (Hokuto)

If the stairs were physically connected to the floors, I would be able to use [Sakai] to investigate

But with a systeet teleported to the lower floors, even if I were able to check how much of a distance there is between floors, I won’t be able to check the pathing

If I activate it in a liate it in detail, but I feel like it would be the sauess of Hokuto who is currently ood choice to abide to what he says

If we add the instincts of Mio, it would give me even more peace of mind

“Ah, now I think about it…”

“Hm?”

Gonzou tilts his head as if he had suddenly re

“Did you know that there’s talk of theslayed and that this place has become unstable due to that?” (Gonzou)

“Yeah, we have heard about it to a certain extent If I remember correctly, it was done by an adventurer that was called Dragon Slayer” (Makoto)

“Yeah, the blue haired one A dangerous woman Was her name Sofia? It seems like she was the one who slayed Doeon has been filled with earthquakes and cave-ins Also, the types of s happened” (Gonzou)

“…”

Because the owner has been lost, the dungeon is unable to hold itself

This hypothesis of mine is pretty simple

“At times, this would stabilize completely If I remember correctly, it was the time when the hero called Hibiki-sama was at Lorel For us, the bad mood of the labyrinth affects the business, so what Hibiki-sarateful about” (Gonzou)

“Heeh, the time when the hero ca?

Thinking about the unstable labyrinth and the busy Hibiki-senpai, I just can’t picture that person co here…

“Yeah, but since that happened, reports about things that have never happened before were beginning to arrive at the adventurer guild” (Gonzou)

“Things that have never happened before? If it’s okay, I would want to know” (Makoto)

“This information is not certain, so listen with that in mind The first one is that all the floors below the 10th floor have changed their structure greatly Regarding this, the frontline for the exploration are uild, and it is a matter of absolute secrecy, so there’s no certainty in that It is simply a bit of information that entered ed…” (Makoto)

“This is just couild sold maps that reached till the 13th floor, and yet, the maps they sell now only reach the 10th floor” (Gonzou)

“I see” (Makoto)

Maybe it is related to the labyrinth regaining its stability, or maybe there’s a completely different reason for it

No idea

No way to know right now

Things like the structure changing certainly sounds more believable e couild

It can also be seen as those conspiracy theories that areis about talk that the guild is soon going to o to the lower parts of the labyrinth, there are pretty rare tie floor” (Gonzou)

“A strange floor?” (Makoto)

“Yes The conditions to reach it are coone there and returned, the strange floor exists from the 3th floor and below, moreover, when you head down, there’s times when the floor returns to normal, and there’s also times when you are thrown into another weird floor” (Gonzou)

“It is not like the floor itself is different?” (Makoto)

Like for exa at the 5th floor

“No, at each floor there’s a nue symbol carved, but the floor itself is the same” (Gonzou)

“Fumu…do you knohat symbol it is?” (Makoto)

“For now, from the four parties I have confirmed with, all of them were the same symbol so I remember it I can’t read it, but if I remember correctly…” (Gonzou)

Gonzou writes in the notebook he had, and showed it to me

Alt

This is from the alphabet

Also, this is a word I have seen before If I remember correctly, it was at the keyboard of computers

The Alt key

…This is bad

I have never used it aside fro of it

If I reing the skill panel…

I had a friend that was good with coe

But well, if the alphabet is appearing here, it means that the Wise are definitely involved in this

It wouldn’t be strange at all if there’s a Wise that has been deeply involved in this dungeon, so I feel like he has toldpretty important in a nonchalant manner

That was helpful

“I see… a mysterious sye floors, there would be a writing like ‘3 Alt’ somewhere around that place” (Makoto)

“Seeht at the pillar you see when you arrive The details of these floors are being sold at a pretty high price currently” (Gonzou)

“Then, if there’s a chance where the Kuzunoha Cooes there, I will have Gonzou buy that infor expectantly for it” (Gonzou)

He se to have a grandchild

“Waka, it is about ti at the state of Mio and I, whispered at me

Seems like the first route has been decided

“Understood Gonzou, sorry for taking so much of your time This is a token ofthose mysterious floors, but if there’s a time that happens, I promise ill call you Well then, see you later” (Makoto)

“!!! No, sensei—Raidou-saive him 5 more silver coins and walk towards the direction Hokuto and Mio point

“You can use thatNow then, Gonzou, thanks for the help” (Tomoe)

Toests hiiven money

“The next tis that are tasty” (Mio)

After that, Mio

Even if he is an information broker, is that type of information also counted?

“…”

Hokuto follows us silently

“…You will probably become an incredibly fortunate information broker” (Beren)

Beren places a hand on his shoulder deeply emotive and then chases after us

“Well, there’s nothing to worry about In the ti several hundred times more than that You have told Waka the inforood This is a reward for being able to act in the most effective manner towards our company and Waka-sama Ah, you should save money too, old man See ya” (shi+)

shi+ probably felt a sense of camaraderie from a fellow chibi , she spoke with Gonzou in somewhat familiar terms

And then, she waves her hand and follows after us

But, Alt huh

“…Let the Kuzunoha Co of Futsu-sama” (Gonzou)

Futsu

Now that heI still don’t know much of yet

The words of prayer that Gonzou directed to us, re, we arrived at the second floor of the labyrinth
