"I have a lot to think about in the meantime, but I'm going to explore the labyrinth because it can be a pain in the ass"

For the first time in a long time, the five [survivors] had their faces on the adventurer guild Fishermen. The phase remained the same, sparking a messy crowd and forming themselves at the table, and an adventure meeting was held that it wasn't like that.

"I wonder if that's the kind of thought renunciation... I mean, how was it a tobacco store or a Mogri's magic guide store? You went looking for Karan's Dragon King treasure, didn't you?

"... just got gassed in"

Nick told me to throw up.

"So what about being found and secured by the Knights?

"No, I asked, but there was no Dragon King treasure. It's just... there was a Dragon King Jewel name on the stolen inventory. He's pretty sure he was anticipating an opportunity to sell at a high price."

"So where are you now?

"You don't know that yet... No, the Sun Knights assured me they weren't 'out of the city'. Maybe you know, but you can't tell me that far."

Oh, boy. Nick sighs.

That's where Zem threw the question.

"Is it really impossible to mean I went outside the city?

"That's the scariest thing... a Knights person said it wouldn't. I think so, too."

"Why?

To Zem's question, Nick slowly spinned his words as he put his hand on his chin and thought.

"The people who are buying and selling Magic Instruments back now are sneaking up on weaknesses. The white mask is gone. The white mask wasn't necessarily on the side of back-run, but it was a clear enemy for the Sun Knights. I don't even know if he's here. He doesn't have to worry about the strongest character, so the Knights are waving big and gassing in."

"Hang on, you're not just riding our butt horse"

Tiana laughed with her nose as she fluttered back into the chair.

"Olivia was a feat around here."

"I've got a lot of secrets... maybe I'm not lying to you, but I'm hiding as much truth as a pile."

"I'd love to hear that too, but... it was good to give this one priority. Bad, Karan."

Nick looks at Karan sorry, but Karan didn't look shocked by this either. I rather have an attitude where I can even feel spare time.

"Ma, I have no choice. Saw that it didn't make sense to just run ahead with the eagles"

"Really...?

"All of a sudden you said to return the Dragon King treasure, but you can't return it when you get in. Lo. Instead, I was caught in a hurry and decided to be fooled."

"Well sure..."

"More than that, explore the labyrinth. U. You better get your strength right and get ready when you say you're here. By and large, there was no good place for eagles the other day. I want to salvage Zo."

That's what Karan said with his shameless face.

Everyone on the spot looked at Karan with a surprise somewhere.

"Hey, what da?

"Nothing."

"... then I want you to stop messing with your hair and tuna"

Tiana was stroking Karan's head without saying anything.

Tiana stops her hand around looking grumpy.

"I agree with Karan, too. I've been so active with you guys, it's time to get stressed out."

"I think it's comforting."

Nick stared at Karan and Tiana with a bitter smile.

"Where are we going to explore?

"Right......"

While responding raw to Kizna's inquiry, Nick points and counts the labyrinths he has attacked so far.

Little ghost groves, shadow wolf caves and brake ice holes in the least challenging G-class labyrinth around the labyrinth city.

The F-level labyrinth has not been attacked.

Class E is attacking the brake icing and the wooden martial arts.

"Five attacked. I haven't really made much money or attacked the weak spots of demons, so that's pretty high pace."

"Rather than, there's no point in attacking with strength in the first place below the E-grade? Well, it's easy to attack, so if you think you can make money safely, it's not a bad thing."

"No... it's good to be able to make steady money, but it's not good to be inert. You'd better be moderately nervous."

Nick looks troubled by Zem's words.

Though I thought it was a luxury concern, it could have been if I had been an adventurer.

"I mean, what level are we now?

"... Speaking of which, how long was it? I think it's an" E "or an" F. "

Four raw glances gather at Nick's nagging words.

"No, that doesn't make much difference. I decide on my own with the difficulty of the labyrinth attacked by the Alliance and the material I've collected, and when I realize it, I'm up. It's not the same over the D level... check it out."

And an official who happened to want to go through when he thought so called out.

"[Survivor] is an E class. That may be. You will be able to go more upstairs in strength, so please just upgrade and move to the 'Pioneers'. It's helpful to have someone strong, because it's not cool to sit in a lower rank with someone who can go up there."

That's all the officials said, they started busily changing the paper on the bulletin board and kicking the ass of a drunk adventurer. Alliance officials are oddly strong in the habit of doing business.

"Let's not."

"What do you mean, you're being promoted... conditional, like the first time?

What Tiana was saying was when she went from G to F. At that time, it had the condition that it would attack the labyrinth with the easiest difficulty.

"No, it's more trouble. I don't just attack the labyrinth... I have a letter of recommendation."

"Letter of recommendation?

"Grade G is really just a rush and an apprentice. Classes E and F are middle and lower, and the main job will be to defeat demons around labyrinth cities. It's a little silly and weak, and I don't have a problem with my bare hair. But it's going to be a little different from the D-level. Infiltrate the labyrinth that is likely to cause a runoff, or crusade the demons that wander outside the labyrinth, and there will also be occasions for the Alliance to be called by name to a request of high importance there"

"... for that matter, you don't have a lot of good images spreading to adventurers. Does the need for a letter of recommendation mean that bare lines are also checked?

To Zem's words, Nick nods with a difficult face.

"You don't have so strict human conditions that you can issue letters of recommendation. I wonder if he was noble above the Knight, or a man in public office, a samurai, an intermediate or higher clergy... I only have an identity, but if I throw gold at a guy who's in trouble with his money, he'll write me a letter of recommendation as soon as he can."

"That's easy to understand."

"And then we accomplished the escort request, and then you asked me if I could write you a recommendation..."

"I mean, isn't that the original route?

Tiana said frighteningly.

"That's true too... when the state of things is out of tune with pre-construction, or personable people like Adventurer Guild want to be adventurers in the first place. Eh..."

"It's not like you can be a real person when someone tells you that."

Nick snorts at Karan's words, not at all.

"So, if I get a letter of recommendation, how do I get to grade D, Da?

"It's no different than when you go from G to F. It's about attacking the three labyrinths designated by the Alliance."

Nick stands three fingers.

"And if I can successfully upgrade, my guild will also move from 'Fishermen' to another branch. It doesn't mean you shouldn't be here, but if you want to attack a difficult labyrinth or make more money, you should move."

Adventurers entering and leaving 'Fishermen' are middle-sized places such as E to F grades, so called ordinary adventurers. But not ahead of class D. At the same time, it is a gateway to handymen and veterans. Evaluations from the surroundings also change.

"Well, we need to get to class D. first. Hey?"

"Unh!"

"It would be nice to go up there anyway."

As Tiana said, Karan and Kizna nodded happily.

"It's good to be motivated. Well then... make it painful. Regardless of the letter of recommendation, we have to clear where we should clear it."

Nick spread the map to the table there. It's a map for adventurers with a labyrinth around the Labyrinth City. Nick pointed to one point on the map.

"... Firebird Peak?

Tiana reads out the letters written where Nick pointed.

"That's right. This will be the first gate."

Everyone in [Survivor] smiled ambitiously at Nick's words.
