A new dungeon appeared in the royal capital of St. Goddard.

I thought it would be a boring day until I went to see the sun goddess, and there was a huge incident.

Sybila entrusted Madeleine with the orphanage, and the four of us from the "Pledge of Night" headed to the Adventurer's Guild with the gift of the Guild.

--See the city walls all of a sudden.

The walls are there to protect the city, but they don't block the sunlight.

If a bat emerges like Adria's, Luna and the others will be in danger.

At a time like this, the opponent in a place called the sky was troublesome.

Don't let the jewels shine so beautifully, I want you to protect the city.

Step into the St. Goddard's Adventurer's Guild, which is relatively central to the dungeon.

This is amazing again.

It was predictable from the size of the dungeon, but the Adventurer's Guild was one of the biggest and gigantic I'd ever seen.

Food, booze, weapons, armor, and magic gear are just a few of the things you'll find in this spacious building.

Even so, the length to the counter is not much different from other guilds, so its enormity does not hinder convenience.

I think about the people who use it and do it well.

It was such a huge guild headquarters, but today it was overflowing with people, as it should be.

Regular contact. The dungeon that emerged is headed by guild officials. If you are an ordinary adventurer, please stay away from them. ”

Female voices echoed throughout the building from magic items placed everywhere.

I've seen magic tools that make voices louder, but is this a remote place to speak up? It's convenient.

As for the content, it was a warning.

Nobody likes to enter an unknown dungeon without telling me.

It wasn't as urgent as Adria's emergency.

The woman on the guide went up to the top five floors, and Shivira followed.

I came all the way to report to Shivira, which means that the guild needed Shivira - that is, us - because of the connection with the guild.

So, who's up ahead--?

Upon entering the arrival room, there was a blue-haired man with a strangely creepy mask covering his face.

“Thank you. Just like you're backing down.”

Yes.

At the same time that the woman who showed her away from the room, Shivira sat comfortably on the sofa facing each other.

Your aesthetic sense of humor is devastating!

What's he saying at the top of the opening?

No... but I'm sure this mask is...

Before I could mention anything, the masked man sighed heavily and took off his weird mask.

It was a young woman with sharp eyes who appeared from the inside.

"Shivira, you should hone your artistic taste. You don't seem to understand art--"

"It's a wood carving from a southern island. Even though there are some similarities to" Double Face Art ", it's quite a sole. More Founder's Founder's Early Modern or Plain. Ahh, I don't think you can do a surrender either."

"--...... Hah, I see. Let's put this on the wall."

The neutral woman stroked the mask and turned to us.

"... oh, I'm sorry. I've heard from Sybila, but everyone is a member of the [Pledge of Night], right?"

"Yeah, that's for sure."

"I'm sorry for the delay in greeting because of Shivira. I'm Emma, and I'm here in St. Goddard's... on a mission from the Queen to organize the Adventurer's Guild."

"It's your own fault you were late."

"Will you please stop saying that my artwork is like a greeting?"

Introduce yourself...

I was expecting it, but it was the Guildmaster.

Then you're talking about the heads of people like us.

I was also very close to Shivira.

Being able to argue so much in hobbies means that we know each other so well.

At the same time, I thought, there's something that convinces me when I'm told that this hobby with too strong a personality is an acquaintance of Shivira...

"I think you've heard from Sibira, but it's Lacelle. I am the leader of the" Pledge of Night "."

You are the Saint , aren't you?

"I'm Amy. My profession is..."

"Wait, you're more shattered." You, too. "

Emma stopped trying to talk politely to me. In addition, I pierced Janet with a nail beforehand.

"I want all adventurers to talk more casually." Can you talk to me like a friend? "

”Hah, hah... er, well then... it's Emmy!”

Hahahaha!

Emma and Shivira laughed as much as they could at the unexpected words.

I can't help but laugh with my face covered. I tried to fix the trajectory to make it easier on the way, but it was a strange combination.

Janet was also shaking her shoulders, covering her face as she killed her voice.

One of them crouched down and slapped Emmy's shoulder, groaning, "Ahhh..." and managed to get up.

"Ah, again... I'm [Holy Knight] 's Emmy." I'm having a party with Rachel. "

"Yeah, yeah, you're shaking it, thank you."

"I'm Janet, the [wise man] of the party." Thank you, Emma. "

Oh, nice to meet you!

After the introduction, we sat next to Shivira.

Emma smiled casually, but she immediately changed her expression to something serious.

"I'm sure you've heard the story, but a dungeon appeared in St. Goddard's. And three... this is a pace that has never happened before."

"I heard you're conducting an investigation."

"For convenience, I sent people to [seventh] and [eighth], but no one has been dispatched to [ninth] yet"

Come on, was that a fake call from the guild?

I thought you said it was under investigation.

"That's to avoid confusion." At the same time, in order to further reduce confusion and anxiety, you must be able to live your daily life as usual. Because of this, we don't have enough staff. "

Everyday... the basis for the most peaceful everyday life for the people of this city.

“That means we're allocating staff to the second dungeon so that everyone doesn't make bad moves.”

You know what I mean, Russell.

Emma regroups her legs and laughs as she snaps her fingers and winks.

"The people of this city stand on the big ground of 'stability', but they can live calmly. It is above all a matter and a desire of the Queen. At the same time, if it continues for a long time, the monster called" Anxiety "becomes more terrifying than anything else."

The Adventurer's Guild is a national operation, and the city's second dungeon has been thoroughly constructed to be "absolutely safe" by the Guild.

The Queen's wish is to develop entertainment outside of the dungeon.

He is also in charge of the operation of the orphanage.

You're quite the common man to think things out of, queen of this country.

I see, the kingdom has been able to operate without major problems.

When I nod at the city's operation, the door is knocked on.

"Who is it?"

I

Sibila looked back in surprise at the voice, and a woman in a robe entered the room.

I'm wearing a mask around my mouth and I can barely see my whole body

"Emma, and... Shivira?" How's the dungeon going? "

"I was just about to ask Sibyla and the others. Don't worry--"

As Emma spoke, Shivira stood up with a look that could not hide her frustration, and clasped her fingers on the robe's chest.

“You! I know you're worried! I can't leave it to you!?"

"But..."

"It's okay here!" Do your job! "

"... I understand."

I pushed my fingertips across the door and actually kicked him out of the room.

For a moment, my eyes met, but Shivira pushed me out of sight.

Shivira closed the door last, then sighed and sat back on the couch.

"Who was that?" St. Goddard's Adventurer Companion or something? "

“That's right, one of the staff....... I'm totally worried about sex."

Normally, I don't like the fact that he's in such a good mood, but rather, I feel like he's the one who forgives me.

When I look at it this way, I see that Shivira originally had enough acquaintances to be convinced that she was in this city.

Emma turned to us with a bitter smile on her face.

"I want you to look into the upper layers of the Ninth Dungeon." You can have another party at a later date, or of course you can say no. Because I've heard from Shivira what you guys are capable of. "

Did Guildmaster come here and say "No" in this critical situation?

He's a pretty low-key guy, too.

Well, here's what I'll give you back.

“I'm going to take it, but can I ask you a question?”

"Thank you! Of course you can ask me anything."

--If you see the Demon King, you can crush him, right?

Emma opened her eyes in surprise and turned to Shivira.

Shivira turned her thumb toward me, looking back at Nyanya and her face.

"I think I reported it, but Russell can use his sword, and not one or two demon kings who defeated him." Moreover, I seriously left the [Prayer Chapter of the Goddess]. You really don't want people to see you! "

"What do you mean?"

Nooo, the wrinkles in your eyebrows will be engraved so much that you can't even remove your recovery magic ~, that's the way it is ~?

In front of the Guildmaster, I think I'll slap him as hard as I can.

Looking at us like that, Emma looked up at the ceiling and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha! It's been a long time since you've had such a pleasant young man." If you live in the capital, you're all stability-oriented. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough as a guild master. "

Emma laughed and held out her right hand to me.

"Of course, I don't mind if you do." Say hello, [Saint] Russell. "

"Yeah, I'm in charge."

I grabbed that hand back and nodded.

It was the demon king's dungeon that no one had conquered in a long time.

Let me do what I can before my arm gets rusted.
