Lesson 1: Infinite Corridor - Summer 4

"The chicks are oddly hello after it was so late, what the hell happened?

"Hey, find a hidden passage."

That night.

Bashram, who welcomed Yu and the others back to the inn, gets the look of "Oh" when he hears the report.

"You found that one."

"After all, did Mr. Bashram know"

"I never went in, so I don't know the details, but I was there when I could."

Before Bashram's reaction, Yu puts a look on his face that he must be.

Even though I haven't been in this city all my life, I'm deeply involved in the making of the Infita today.

It is not surprising that Bashram knows about this kind of manifold.

All the other members pull up to the room while we have that conversation.

"Hey, chicks. You may be tired, but come and eat properly. Limits are due in two hours."

"" "" "" "Yes......" "" "

"Eh, I'll call you later..."

"Do that for me. But I expected it, but the lady's fine..."

"Eh, I didn't have to worry too much about defense..."

"There were hardly any traps or attacks that Tifa's dragon scales couldn't prevent."

You mean that, Bashram, who accidentally points his raw gaze at Tifa.

Tifa pulls up to the room assigned to her for a change of clothes while making her uncomfortable with that gaze.

Even so, as always, it hasn't changed what can be done in the middle of the night alone, so Tifa's room is with Yu.

"Hey, Yu. The hidden passage I found, you mean the mysterious cavity that was on the wall right next to the entrance passage?

"Oh. You guys know that, too?

"Yeah. When we first tried the tutorial dungeon."

"Right. Did you move on?

"I found it, but we didn't have to go through the wall. I got as much firepower as I could, and then I dropped him off to try again."

After I drop Tifa off, Marietta eats fast because it's a hot topic.

Question At last we taught ourselves the situation. Yu gives a look to Marietta's words: Hmm.

I have the impression that unlike Alberto and the others, who only possess a decent means of shock-based attack, the deep red lilies can be done with the help of Fina and Viola.

"It was neither thick nor hard enough for you guys to bump through..."

"When Alberto and the others weren't so different, I'd be in trouble if they used it as a benchmark now."

That's how Eines answers Yu's honest thoughts, shrugging his shoulders.

When it comes to getting started here, it's time to barely graduate from the rush, although Alberto and the others had some experience.

Ordinary adventurers had no ability to manage walls that could not be crushed unless they brought in a large blunt instrument like a mall, without the equipment of their hands.

"I mean, whatever Fina is, what's the extreme difference between Viola's power now and then? Besides, I think Fina could have used more powerful magic than Zash is now, than she has been properly educated to be a wizard."

"Yeah, well, I am. At the time, if we hadn't worked together that much, we wouldn't have understood each other."

"Hmm...... Just in case, have you guys been acting like six people since then?

"I don't know if it's been since I came to this Infita that I've been fully organized. We've known each other's faces since before, and sometimes we act together, but once we were in a different party."

"I see, is that what you mean"

Yu is convinced that he has no choice but to explain Eines.

The face of the deep red lily is sometimes active before the age of fifteen, and each adventurer has more than ten years of experience, but it is not until three or four years after he became an adventurer that he began to work together.

In the pocket and skill of those days, there would be no room to buy a large blunt instrument just to bust through a concealed passage, nor would there be the kind of collaboration that would leave room to bust through walls.

"Now I confess, but even for once I was at the time, that wall itself fell out if I wanted to. However, I had a bad feeling that it would drain 20% of my magic."

"Oh, so he said he had so much firepower, he wasn't going to fall out."

Say as Yuna was impressed by the whitewashed content of Fina, who had secretly noticed a lie.

Most of all, even if it's possible if you want to punch it out, when you consume 20% of the magic of a precious wizard, you're sure to step on two feet.

At a time when there was no trust or collaboration at the time, it was impossible not to mention the area with caution.

"I somehow know that sharp Yuna noticed something like this, but Marietta at work didn't realize that she suspected or read the back of an eyeness or something that could use magic? Because I didn't decide whether to lie or to be true by replacing my position."

"To be honest, you were a little suspicious. I just thought maybe I didn't like to destroy things because I use magic myself."

"On the contrary, I didn't think it was a lie because I thought it was an argument that it was practically impossible when I thought about the distribution of magic."

To Murietta's doubts, Eines and Marietta speak honestly of their thoughts at the time.

Sometimes there seemed to be a lot of interpretations of the phrase that it could not be done, sometimes when we had only been able to build a degree of trust that was not strange whenever we broke it down in the air, just starting to work together in full.

"You're not gonna ask Viola?

"It's useless for me to just read the back or something. If you can't, you can't. I didn't think about the details."

Before the other members say anything to Yu's question, I affirm that the viola of the day is such a sort of masculine criterion of judgment.

Until then if you call it brain muscle, but it is somewhat sensible that you don't care what you think is useless.

"So, let's get back to it, what was going on at the end of that hole?

"That's a dungeon, I'd say, with a floor structure that completely ignores physical positional relationships, etc. Make it a trap, make it a monster, it was so massively boiling that I was impressed that we often had this many."

"Huh?"

To Eines' question, first Yu gives a light overview.

Exactly. Aines attracts strong interest in terms of traps and monsters that I don't know anything about in this explanation, but still just make Yuu say so.

I was just about to ask you an extra question about what it means, and Tifa comes down dressed.

"Oh, Tifa. You brought a lot of pretty clothes."

"Mr. Cullen prepared it for me."

Bertilde quickly devours Tifa, who is wearing fashionable clothes that are really cute, unlike usual.

For some reason Tifa was dressed in cute clothes that were either moveable and sturdy or college uniforms that she always wore in training and fieldwork, like normal girls would wear, which looked a little approachable.

"That's Karen! Good job indeed!"

Hearing Tifa explain, Fina screams with real pleasure.

"Oh, already, cute!

"I wanted a sister like this!

"Uh, um..."

"You can wear the usual functionality top priority training, but I knew cute girls like Tifa would have to wear these!

"Because I've found a good boutique, I need to take you there once before I go home and buy a bunch of cute clothes!

"Right. It seems a bit elegant and looks like it might look good with pretenses, so I'd like to try a lot of things."

"What? Huh?

"Right ~. You can't beat Karen!

Tension rises on Tifa's appearance, which she usually doesn't show, and the women raise their yellow voices as a result of the heavy rains.

I no longer know who is saying what to so many words and how fast.

As it is, enter the adorable meeting Tifa by Bertilde and the deep red lily.

"I'm not going to complain because I'm leaving that aspect to Karen, Oddie and Bertilde, but did you ever consider the possibility that there wasn't more to that garment than you were once coming to the dungeon offense?

Yu mouths such questions as she listens to the yellow voices of the women.

When Bashram heard about it, he clasped his mouth as he included a slight grudge about Yu's thinking.

"Well, in Infita's case, it feels more like working out while enjoying a vacation than falling over a dungeon. Karen's daughter knows about it, so she corrected Tifa's feelings around it, and she finally went out of her way to build a sense of fashion."

"Does that mean Karen's been here before, too?

"Oops. I just heard it from my master, and I don't know how."

To Yu's question, Bashram tells the story he knows.

In the meantime, Tifa continues to be flabbergasted and flustered with difficulty in reacting.

"Well, leave me alone over there. How was the hidden passage, exactly?

"Right. First of all, it's about the trap, but basically the smallest needle shot surprises me. I counted, but I planted over a hundred in the first corridor."

"Well, don't say that again."

"Oh, just blocking the ejection holes with clay is enough to make it impossible to fire, and if you're wearing winter clothes, it's usually a substitute for not taking damage, but there's a lot of them anyway. There were other small pitfalls, not threatening but depressing traps, that felt like a subspecies of snare traps."

"What's wrong with that?

"In the beginning, it took training to get Jude to disarm it, but you need to disarm the hassle tricks to move on around the third layer. Sometimes the monsters were getting stronger and it just took too long to get too much trouble, so Needleshot basically let Tifa use the magic of improved defense and decided to ignore it."

"Well, that's a reasonable place."

Listen to Yu and nod bashrum that you would be.

I don't know about this, but needle shots are the weakest trap for damage.

It is not fortified with special materials or tricks, nor is it like deliberately disarming them.

Some cases follow that alert, but it's impossible if not impossible, such as piercing a fortified defense with Tifa's stupid magic.

"So, what was the monster like?

"I don't know if that's normal, but on the third layer Bloody Bat and Hellhound patrolled as regular miscellaneous fish, and the middle boss on the fifth layer was Minotaur. The boss, who was in the final layer, was a cyclops, and Wyburn and Demon attacked him a little as a miscellaneous fish. You just had a hard time following Alberto and the others when he was disturbed."

"Wait a minute!

Bashram who overhears Yu's explanation and shouts out unexpectedly.

It is also natural for Bashram to scream, and Cyclops are monsters that appear as bosses in the infinite corridor from about eighty layers, monsters of sufficiently lethal strength, albeit weak compared to Trihorn Dragodis and others.

Other miscellaneous fish are monsters that come out in similar hierarchies, and when it comes to sometimes serving as bosses, it won't be hard to imagine that their strength is something that is not stylish and sorry.

Bloody bats and hellhounds that they were patrolling in a shallow layer called the third layer are also the kind of monsters that would otherwise come out as bosses near the thirtieth layer, and if they can beat this, the rush is for graduation, if they can hunt normally, for one serving.

Needless to say, even if I'm wrong, a tutorial dungeon is not a good monster to come out to.

"Dude, a tutorial dungeon shouldn't have been such a magical environment. Let me check, was it at a level where the Albertos could do something about it? The original tutorial dungeon comes out as a boss with a minotaur that has taken so much damage to his whole body that he can't move properly..."

"No. You're weakening it so you can do something about it, you didn't have anything like that."

"Are you serious..."

Bashram holding his head unexpectedly to Yu, who has said it out loud.

Unlike the real thing, a tutorial dungeon is a system that is thrown out of the dungeon before it is actually damaged, when fatal damage is definitely eaten, to be more precise.

So it would be the demon that comes out, but it would be the cyclops, but it's not a good idea in that when that level of monster actually comes out, it could crush the rushing mind to pieces of wood dust.

"Um, Mr. Bashram. Question, okay?

"Hmm? What?

"Can a damaged monster that can't move properly play the role of boss?

"I can't do it if it's a normal monster, except if it's a minotaur or that type. Because when they're dying, they get more power. And the amount of damage that causes the motion to fall off somewhat, and if it was about Alberto and the others last year, it would be strong enough to do it properly but not beat it."

"Really?

"Whoa. Big and powerful like Minotaurs and Cyclops, or strong as pure creatures like dragons, that type of monster. Mostly, when you're dying, you're powered by the bottom line of the fire."

"Heh."

Tifa is impressed with Bashram's description.

But soon, I snap my neck wondering.

"But regardless of the cyclops, minotaurs aren't that strong, are they?

"You or Yu's standards. Then it's definitely a miscellaneous fish. For a human without defensive magic or decent protective equipment, that power is deadly enough."

"Ah."

Tifa gets stuck in the bashrum and unwittingly raises her voice.

Tifa, who has developed dragon scales all the time except recently when she is asleep, and has a habit of going outside the city without cutting the magic of improving her defenses for no special reason, was oblivious to the circumstances around her.

"Tifa is like a demon god, altgaruda, tryhorn dragodis, and all the big guys like that..."

"On second thought, you certainly didn't get a chance to hit a monster as strong as that hand until today's dungeon"

Yu just says that to Bertilde's honest thoughts that he realizes by now.

Normally, children under the age of ten don't have the chance to fight monsters, etc., so one thing is not strange that Tifa has never encountered a monster that is said to be a mid-level wall like Minotaur or Hellhound before.

Instead, there's something wrong with the rate of big encounters and destruction since Yu and his mentor.

"In the meantime, starting tomorrow, we and Alberto decided to act differently."

"As far as I'm concerned, it won't do either of us any good."

"... uh, I was kind of insensitive..."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

To the conclusion Yu reached in half a day today, Tifa can be scowled as Bashram nodded whether he had no choice.

Based on their background, Alberto and the others have too much strength to come to a point where their perception, back-to-back, cannot already be called a rush, but unfortunately, unlike Tifa, it is not enough to smash the range of the rush.

If we continue to act with the Yus, we can only see a future in which many battered adventurers will either be in what they call an abominable parasite or, conversely, will be forced and begged to do so reluctantly.

"So, if that's all right with Alberto and the others, what about Milky and Lloyd?

Bertilde confirms that we are concerned.

Yu's answer to that was really sensible.

"Milky and Lloyd are still going to be with us after tomorrow. It's just the right opportunity, so I also want to plant the standing around the protected side right now."

"Will Yu take care of you till the end? That's a lot overprotective compared to Alberto and the others, isn't it?

"That's nothing. It's not an adventurer volunteer, and even if you dive into a dungeon, you're part of an investigation team, because that's a lot of shapes. You'll have the opportunity to act separately from me and Tifa, and that's enough if you learn to move easily to protect yourself and to provide backup in an unobstructed way."

"So is that."

To Yu's words, a lightly convincing bertilde.

As far as we're talking at Reiki Ancient Coin Pavilion, neither Milky nor Lloyd seem to have any desire to be adventurers, even if they have a favor for Riera.

Before that, the Wizard Apprentice of Adventurer aspirations proceeds to the Department of Ordinary Attack Magic or Recovery Magic, or Auxiliary Magic or Summoning Magic, even somewhat unusual.

At least, unless it's a special case like Tifa's, you won't be the first to major in grant magic and become an adventurer, and you don't have to be.

"That's why I'm sorry, but starting tomorrow, I'm going to have Mr. Bashram and Mr. Bertilde hang out with me"

"That's fine, but wouldn't shallow hierarchies up to about twenty floors end faster without us?

"Is that what this is all about?

"Right. Milky, you and Lloyd would be able to break through the trap forcefully while you're in charge, but when we're together, we're going to be pulled by the speed of travel."

"I see. Then we'll ask Mr. Bashram and the others to help us out."

"Whoa. It's about you guys anyway. If it's about 20 floors, it won't take three days."

"Whatever the trap is, it's not as tight as this back dungeon when it comes to monsters, so if the terrain pulls, we can clear it by tomorrow, right?

Bashram and Bertilde say such easy things to Yu's decision.

"... if we don't work hard, we won't have a chance to go into the dungeon with Tifa and the others."

"... hey. Let's start with the last critical and frustrating 20-layer breakthrough."

Eines and the others, who were listening to Yu and the others' conversations, make the crisis feel that way.

In the end, as Bertilde predicted, Yu and the others cleared up to twenty-five layers the next day, and Eines and the others also broke through twenty-five layers three days later.
