"Kusatsu-san!

"I know!

Kusatsu jumped out a few steps ago as Tachibana shouted. Keeping the momentum running, the submerged mouse's burst attack is thrown back across the body with a buckler.

The diving mouse floated his body into space in a fierce tackle and blew a few meters behind him.

The tackle forged in Kusatsu's rugby was impressive, and even with the strength of ordinary people, it was powerful enough to break the posture of a Grade 5 monster. That's the sportsman who was chosen for another national selection in the former era.

From just behind Kusatsu, Kazuo Tachihua grabbed his spear and jumped out momentarily.

Hey!

Wow, the tip of the spear that was targeted stabbed into my neck.

I shake my spear to the side to cut off the nerves that become the lifeline of the monster.

At the end of the attack, the diving mouse stopped breathing and fell to the ground shortly after raising his voice.

"That's it!

"It's all of us!

For the fifth time, Tachibana's tension with the monsters had already been resolved.

As soon as the tension was resolved, Tachibana began to perform a very impressive spear gesture.

Apparently, he had studied spear art in a neighborhood dojo until high school, and the scale was starting to glitter.

Mainly, the two of them started to confront monsters while tagging together.

And there was another person - someone who didn't need to be tagged.

The second young man in this group, Mizue Seiki.

"Mizue! Behind the right!

"I know, Tenjo!

Hearing a voice from a tenge in the back, Mizue shook her sword to the right rear, relying only on the signs.

The sword is stunning enough to fall in love, slashing and tearing the body of a diving mouse with an ambush from the blind spot in half.

They were the ones who successfully finished the fifth encounter.

The fifth time, there were no significant errors in collaboration, and they were beginning to grow so that they could fight each other the way they wanted to.

Chariot only took two months to sort them out, and they're all really talented people. I noticed that, and Tenge was starting to feel a little inferior.

The first thing that stands out is Mizue Seiki, who takes the monster's tag instead of his body and sword. It was the role of Mizue to reduce the number while taking away the tags. It's exactly what the lion is doing.

The two of you deal with the monsters sneaking through the watershed attack.

Kusatsu tackled with a shield and Tachibana stabbed him with a spear from behind.

This was the most efficient way to take down the monsters.

However, no one has yet noticed that they are overwhelmingly affordable, physically or muscularly, behind them, placing a huge burden on just one person in the river.

No, I was trying not to break my flat expression so that others wouldn't find out about my foreboding feeling of wanting to receive Mizue.

Fukuyama is aware of the fact.

But he didn't dare say it, knowing it. Instead, he starts spinning words in a hurry.

"Likes it! Let's keep going at this pace"

Yes!

Yes!

"Ok!

With the encouragement of Fukuyama, the three of them feel better and move forward even faster.

Looking at the situation, Fukuyama had an unbelievable smile.

(This guy is creepy....)

Tenji, who had been watching Fukuyama next door, had such an impression.

Sometimes I have a creepy smile that makes me forget I'm handsome. I've been watching it next door, so that was inevitable.

― Ah

At that time, Tachihua shouted loudly and immediately blocked her mouth with both hands.

Beyond her gaze was a huge door.

The door, engraved with a strange formation of light purple iron, was a testament to the first boss area. It is tall enough to look up and has an arched shape. In the middle of the door is embedded a jewel representing sparkle and presence.

Observe the boss door so that everyone here looks up.

"Looks like you're finally in the First Boss area. You two ready?

"Yes, anytime!

"I'm fine, too!

Kusatsu and Tachihua reacted immediately to the call from Mizue.

It has been about thirty minutes since they entered the sub-dungeon, and the three breaths were a little disturbed. Still, Mizue wants to challenge the boss like this.

The average person has been nervously depleted to keep an eye on monsters for 30 minutes without rest, and has fought five times in it. There are already sixteen monsters they have defeated.

Tenge felt a sense of crisis in a river that was beginning to blind to its surroundings.

Well, let's go.

The two men, who felt reassured by Mizue's majestic words, followed him without denying it.

Then he reached the front of the door, and Mizue stuck his hand in the groove that was dented in the bill of lading of the door.

"Wow, I've never seen this before in my life."

"I've never seen it before... this is the boss area of the dungeon. It's completely different from watching it in the video."

The door was pushed open by itself, and the first boss area was spread out behind it.

Looks like a circular room with luxurious blue and gold decorations on the walls, floors, and ceilings. It's a room that feels a little dazzling, but it's not dazzling enough to cover your eyes with wonders.

The lights are not sure where they come from, but the whole room is slightly brighter.

The deepest part of the room.

Just opposite their entrance, an old golden throne is erected.

There's no boss there yet.

And Fukuyama slowly walked right behind them, and opened his mouth for the first time in a long time.

"Yes, well done. So, I'm going to fight here, and you're just watching."

Huh?

Suddenly, the voice of the river surprised me, and I felt a wooden spirit in the room.

However, everyone will be convinced by listening to Fukuyama's next words.

"Unfortunately, you can't take down this boss yet. That's why I'm fighting. You can look at my bravery there. Yes, I'm rested. I'm rested!

After slapping his hand twice, Fukuyama walked forward alone with a soft smile.

When I noticed it, I wore something like a stinging glove on my arm. Decorated in emerald color, it looked more like a boxing glove weapon than a shield.

The five fingers are adorned with dazzling jewelry, and you can see at a glance that it is a very expensive weapon. At least the first class is a substitute.

There is no such thing as a defense in this world.

That means it's a clean weapon, not a defensive device.

(Can you see the battle of Vice Captain Fukuyama, the Shield of Chariot A team? I wonder what kind of battle they're going to fight....)

Tenge enters the door with him and tries to watch Fukuyama fight nearby. The eyes reflected a pure interest.

The other three similarly dived through the door and stopped immediately to see the battle in Fukuyama with serious eyes.

Fukuyama noticed the behavior and looked back with a refreshing smile.

When Fukuyama reached the center of the boss area, the boss of this sub-dungeon began to form.

At the end of the circular area, on the throne just opposite the door, objects like a black cross began to gather and gradually began to form the shape of a boss.

Three seconds later, the little gathering of crosses turned into a boss.

"Gufu....."

It was a giant rat-shaped monster over five meters long, commonly known as "Gufu".

The grey hair is sharp as a needle, and it is an opponent that can't be beaten by ordinary people. Perhaps Chariot had purchased this information beforehand and decided it was impossible for the participants.

Indeed, Gufu is too heavy for ordinary people.

"Gufu... that's not our enemy."

"That's right. Gufu must be a natural Explorer to win."

"Ah, ahh... that's right. If we'd been in there like that, we'd have been ruined."

The three of Tachihua, Kusatsu and Mizue saw Gufu's evil appearance and leaked such feelings.

It wasn't a boss monster I was familiar with, so I didn't bother to say anything, but it must have been a huge shock for them when they first saw the boss with their own eyes.

People rarely get to see monsters with their eyes.

Ordinary students like them now have no choice but to watch books and videos and learn by themselves.

Fukuyama begins lecturing these four without looking at us at all.

"Do you all know Gufu? From here on out, I'll teach you how to defeat Gufu. Well, I don't have any plans for the exam, but it's my whim!

Fukuyama shouted and said so, approaching Gufu's palm in a blinking moment.

They rushed so fast that they didn't even have an image left, and they started looking for Fukuyama in a hurry.

"Fast!?

Wow

"Is this... Mr. Fukuyama of Chariot?"

When Fukuyama ran out of control in the eyes of ordinary people, he noticed that he was making room for his face in Gufu's pocket.

Then he raised his right hand up and his index finger up. It seems to represent "1".

"One, Gufu rushes into his pocket or swings his tail.... it looks like a tail this time."

As he said, Gufu swings his steel-like tail down towards Fukuyama by turning his body around small and round.

While observing the tail carefully, Fukuyama took a big diagonal step backwards.

"In this case, jump back diagonally rather than directly behind. If you're right behind me, you'll be attacked by the aftermath of a crack."

As Fukuyama said, when the tail was swinging down to the ground, the surrounding ground was greatly depressed, and the crack proceeded straight ahead.

There was not a single dust on Fukuyama, which he avoided diagonally.

"It's amazing... but we can't do that."

"Yes, that's Chariot's Explorer."

Kusatsu and Tachihua only laughed bitterly at Fukuyama, where they lightened up what ordinary people couldn't imitate. However, Tenji and Mizue follow the back of Fukuyama with their eyes to eat.

"Well, can you show me a rush attack?

Fukuyama said that and entered Gufu's pocket again.

"Ah, there you are! Gufu stood up like a needle the moment he attacked. If you can see this, it's a thrust attack... well, it's inevitable, right?"

Huh?

Tachibana's blatant voice spirited into the boss's room.

"No, because this boss is huge, and Explorers below the fourth grade can never get rid of him. Well, I'll tell you what, as a lecture, I'll show you how to avoid it if you're less than a Quaternary Explorer. ― Luo Shengmen La Shomon Darken Ain

At that moment, between Gufu and Fukuyama, a disastrous Rayomon fell down.
