Majorca came to an end.

The gate was completely closed, and no one else could enter the dungeon beyond the gate.

The Republic of Majorca was a small, newly independent country, and its economic pillar was a special country entrusted to the dungeon.However, what would become of the Republic of Majorca in the future was the collapse of the pillar, which was the focus of the current report.

Since it was originally an island in Spanish territory, will it return to Spain or continue as a country?It is reported on television that the top are still in discussions with each other.

The people were now quietly watching what would happen to their country on the island.

Even so, some of the Explorers who stayed in Majorca gradually left the country towards the dungeon of another country in order to complete their work.

The land of Explorers must be the land of dungeons.After all, Japan, the world's leading dungeon power, rose to the spot.

And a total of 225 egg seekers who had come to Majorca to study in Escuela, almost all of them returned to their home countries.Return orders and instructions were immediately sent from the United States, Senegal, France, South Korea, and other countries.

Similarly, instructions were sent to them to return to Japan as soon as they were ready from Japan's JSA.

Explorer eggs have no reason to stay in a land without dungeons.

They will surely grow into explorers representing the world to come.

Time to keep such talent asleep is not as good for the country as it is for the rest of the world.

And --- Tenjo Kenji was already on his way back to Japan with Leon and the others.

† † †

Tenji, who had returned from Majorca, was to undergo a detailed examination at the Ochanomizu Pre-Dungeon General Hospital the next day, as instructed by the children.Since the person in charge was a familiar teacher, Tenji would also complete the examination with ease.

Then Tenji, who had confirmed that there was no abnormality to the body, came straight to Leon's Explorer's Office.

Luckily, Leon and Sengo weren't there.

It seems that Sengo has a job and is now a little busy every day.No one knew where Leon was doing what.

Even so, there was a sea child stationed in the office, so Tenji responded to me.

They liked black tea made from premium tea leaves while holding the cookie between them.

I'm sorry, you promised Leon, didn't you?

"Yes, that's what I was going to do..."

"I'm really sorry. Maybe I forgot, or I've been overseas a lot lately, so I think I'm used to your loose sense of time."Look, overseas people have quite a bit of time for loose, right? "

"Haha, that's true."Even in Majorca, there were quite a few loose people. ”

Since that introduction, the two of them talked about what happened in Majorca, and the story of the sea child eating chicken in Egypt, and the two of them were enthusiastic in their conversation for a long time.

For Tenji, Kaiyu was one of the adults who was very easy to talk to, and he talked with a cookie and tea until the sun turned into a sunset.

When Hai Tong drank the tea to the end, his eyes turned to look like he was in the distance.

"Hah, I wanted to go to Majorca too."I never imagined that in my life, I would close the dungeon without ever going. ”

"Surely no one expected this."Speaking of which, the lemonade uncle will come to Japan next time.I'll come to investigate the ingredients.She said that she would also come to Tokyo, so will you see Kai-chan at that time?As for me, I would definitely like to introduce Kaiyu-san.It's really delicious! "Uncle's Lemonade"

"Nice! I've been curious to hear Tenji-kun's story."Then can you let me in for a chat when the schedule is set?I'll definitely plan to fit it in. "

Yes, I understand!

Tenji wanted to introduce his uncle because he had a strong obsession with the pursuit of food.Of course, Tenji feels better about being very enthusiastic, as opposed to being willing to accept Tenji.

Kai-chan can drink delicious lemonade, and his uncle can get fat customers.

Whenever Tenji came here, he could drink delicious lemonade, and he had a slightly blackened plan.

So when the two of you are talking,

It's just a marmalade.

Leon came back to the office while saying something cold.

Tenji sneaked in thinking that the two of them were similar because Sengo often said it while talking about the cold weather.

Leon walked out the front door and into the office area, where he suddenly met Tenji.

"Oh, I forgot. I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay." I came at a strange time. I'm sorry. "

Saying that the humble words of Tenji would not come into his ear, Leon sat down on the sofa and started the game on his smartphone.Then, while boldly sniffing his nose, he caught the big prize and threw it at the dumpster.

"Zhou [Amazing], do you have any coke?"

"Can I use the usual bottle?" Or do you want to make it into a can? "

"Nh... I feel like a bottle"

When Leon replied appropriately, he glanced at Tenji's face.

"So, what are you talking about?" If I'm bored, I'll blow it up. "

"Do you really think I have a sense of humor?"

"No, I don't think so either."For now, we'll wait for Coke, but that's the end of the story.I'm thirsty, so I can't talk to you anymore. "

Tenji sits on the sofa opposite, thinking he's really the right person.

Leon glanced at the game screen again and said, "Whoa!?- Is that you? "and started to cheer up on their own.Soon, when the child brought the bottle of cola from the kitchen, he sat down on the one-seater sofa on his wife's side to hold it between them.

Leon swallows about half of the cola at once and spits out a vulgar "fufu" gas.

"Come on, tell me a funny story."

Strangely, I let out pressure to Tenji.

Still, Tenji, who has grown at a staggering rate over the past few months, opens his mouth at no cost at all.Leon's face seemed a bit unfortunate when he grew up like that.

"I need to be stronger."

So?

Have you shown interest in the words?

Leon closed the app and peered into Tenji's eyes.

Leon is investigating the Nine Kings, isn't he?

Yeah.

"I realized that perhaps it was the Nine Kings who were fighting those monsters."It may be a surprise. But if that's possible, I don't have much time. "

Leon takes a moment to bite the meaning of the word.When I opened my mouth to Coke again, I swallowed all the contents and put them gently on the desk.

A sharp gaze turned toward Tenji.

"Why did you think that?"

"The monster called me by my name."I understood why the monster was speaking.The Hell Beasts started calling me the King.Ibuko called the monster the king of this world....... Leon has shown interest in me. "

"Haha, that's an interesting joke. Well, I won't deny it."

Leon answered in a slightly chaotic atmosphere.

"What is the Nine Kings?"You know Leon better than anyone in this world, right? "

I don't know, I don't know much about that either.

Huh?

"What I know is not so different from other people.""When the nine kings gather, the world will be transformed, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"I knew that one of them was Kurodon Hiroshi, and the other, Jay's hidden child, was the king."Which one are you? "

"Which one...?"

"...... Those words are followed by the words: 'The Nine Kings are swords that destroy the Nine Beasts.The nine beasts shall be the shield that shall destroy the nine kings.The Ten Kings smile at everything. "-" Now, Tenji, who are you? "

Leon looked at Tenji's face unusually seriously.Tenge was puzzled by the words he heard for the first time.

Think about what Leon wants to ask himself.

However, Tenge now had no idea what that question meant.

"I don't know what Leon wants to ask me, but I am me."By my will, I want to be an Explorer. [M]It was a dream, a hero to me, and the Explorer is my hero.Is this not possible? "

Hmph, Leon laughed with his nose.

"Well, that's what I was thinking."I don't know much about the Nine Kings in the first place.You don't know what you're doing.If I had said anything, I'd have killed him right here. "

"T-That's a lot of noise..."

"Hahaha, well, if you really are who you are, I will be killed with a twist."

"Um... is that what the Nine Kings said about President Limei?"

"I don't know, it's good to decide your own role in life."I don't believe in my role, I'm going to live my life.Ahh, stop, stop this talk, it's boring! "

Leon said that the heavier the story was, and when he walked into the kitchen himself, he came back with the second bottle of Coke.Then he peeked into Tenji's eyes again.

“Tell us the truth, and we'll lose time in the game.”

As free as it was, Tenji smiled unintentionally.

Before you left for Majorca, you and Leon promised to join the Seeker Olympia, right?

You did it, didn't you?

“Did you know that was postponed?”

"Mochi no Ron"

Seeker Olympia is the tournament in which Chigo participated as an amateur.

The Seeker Olympia is usually held once every three years.However, Majorca Esquerra disappeared and the Explorer industry just started to get busy.As a result, a one-year postponement was announced.At the same time, it was announced that the age limit for appearance would be relaxed.

In the meantime, why don't you ask me for guidance for a year?

I can't help it.

”Right, that's impossible... eh?”

”Nhh?”

Tenzi froze for a moment when he agreed so softly.

For some reason, Leon opened his mouth to Tenji, who proceeded with the conversation on the premise of impossibility.

"... is that okay?"

"I don't have an in-law."

"Are you sure it's okay!?"

"I don't mind, but there are conditions."

What is it?

"First, convince Chigo yourself."He thinks you're a disciple, so tell him yourself.Ah, Leon-sama is better!!Convince God to pray. "

"But I'll do my best"

"After that, I'll confiscate my smartphone, confiscate my weapons, and absolutely lick my shoes if I tell you to."The place is a first-class dungeon in the Alps, and you can't get out of the dungeon for a year.Complete all sleeping and eating in the dungeon.There's only a short time, so I'll beat it all up with Orbraka and myself.I don't think I have time to sleep. "

Yes, yes.

"If I throw up a soft voice once, I'll kill you and break your contract. Do you understand?"

Yes, yes!

"It's settled, we'll leave tomorrow morning."Go home and get ready. Like Majorca, I'll take care of my sister while you're gone. "

Ah, thank you!

When Tenji was physically kicked in the ass by Leon, he quickly left the office.

After returning to his house as he was told, he explained it to Masaharu and persuaded him to go to Sengo.

† † †

Leon is unusual.

As Tenge left the office, the sea boy, who was watching the two conversations quietly, finally opened his mouth.Leon said, thinking that it might be troublesome to hear such a sea child's reaction.

"The [Nine Beasts] were stronger than I imagined."Honestly, I thought we'd make it, but I don't think we can make it.They were so weak, we wouldn't have teeth for them.That's why we need to finish them off as soon as possible. "

"What can I do?"

"Do your utmost to support Winter Festival and Tenge."Don't worry, Jay said he'd take care of it over there.I won't complain as long as you fulfill the purpose that approached me. "

Right, we need to find her soon.

Hai Tong said that and stared gently at the photo stand standing on the shelf.

As soon as she realized it, the child stood up and took out two pieces of paperwork from his desk.

"Sign here before you go."

"What the hell is this?"

It's Tung-kun's recommendation letter and Tenji's recommendation letter.

"Oh, I need your help with that."

Leon spells out his signature and returns the two documents to the Sea Child.

Afterwards, the child arranged all the means of transportation to the dungeon, such as a plane ticket for two people, and soon after bedtime, he went to the airport to see them off.

Thus, Tenji traveled overseas again.

† † †

Since then, the days have passed with great intensity...

For Tenji, a year had passed in a flash.

Sometimes 500 ml of water is dropped into the bottom of the Naraka in one hand, and I have been specially trained to continuously parry the attacks of the two zero-grade Explorers, and I have been thoroughly trained in basic and applied techniques as an Explorer.In addition to being a professional explorer, he also spared no effort to steal the skills of the two people at the top.

Along the way, the level rose considerably.

With the addition of a new Hell Beast, [Prison Beast Summoning] 's level of training definitely improved.

I don't think I've had so many hellish days in my life.

While muttering such feelings in his heart, Tenji was to worship the morning sun for the first time in about a year.I accidentally cover my eyes with my hands in the sunlight, which is more exciting than I imagined.

"Haha, I've never missed the sunlight so much."

The comfort of the first sun in a long time warms your body.

I felt that the cells in my body were happy.

"Come on, let's go home to Japan."

Soon, the triennial Seeker Olympia will be held in Japan.

The most prominent area among them is that of the Seeker Olympia U22, a festival that replaced Koshien and the Olympic Games a long time ago, in which outstanding eggs aiming at explorers from 16 to 22 years old from all over Japan gathered and competed with each other after the easing of the age of appearance announced last year.

Exactly now, the whole of Japan was showing the appearance of the festival the night before.

The whole nation of Japan is looking forward to this festival.

Tenge attends the festival as the egg of an explorer.

How are you guys? I'd like to see you soon.
