Even today we laid Reid together and took him to the labyrinth.
And since there was plenty of time this time, I tried to get to the 39 basement levels, in addition to preliminary exercises of travel to the boss room.
If it's ten of us, it's easy to get from 30 to 39 floors underground.
There are no dangerous occasions to defeat the monsters that come out.
I'd like to get to the floor of the basement 40.
"Sin, don't be alarmed just because you can afford it"
"Oh, I know that"
Caution flew in from Mina, but you don't have to say that.
Don't be alarmed by me in battle, even if I'm not in battle, because I'm wearing enough to be on constant alert in the area where the monsters appear.
That's why I haven't been adventurous on the Meermill continent.
Though I didn't mean to go to that continent myself.
"Well, even when it comes to the underground 39 hierarchy, is it this much?"
"Don't be alarmed, ice room. Remember, this is the nest of monsters."
"... what do you want to do by telling me what you just said?
It's just a reminder.
Just because he was cautious and said so, he didn't mean anything by it.
So don't stare.
"Heh heh, you two always get along when you're together"
"That's your mistake, Yumi."
"I'm just trying to keep Ichinose from following me, and I'm not saying no."
"Yes, yes, hehe"
Yumi is laughing at us.
That's not a laugh.
"… in this case, should we be careful again"
"I guess I should just let you like it. I've been doing a lot of research on the traps around here, and I've hunted monsters."
"I can't forgive you that Shin-kun is being taken by Yumi and the others, but it's fine because I'll tighten it up for you as long as Shin-kun is loose"
I heard Mina and the others talking.
Well, we can have this conversation because we made sure our surroundings were safe.
Though in the labyrinth, there are aspects that can't be helped, even if they seem slightly relaxed.
Plus, besides us, there are sophomores and sophomores in the 39 underground hierarchy, so we don't have much chance to fight monsters.
This was a bit unexpected.
Until now, though, even if there were many other parties in the same hierarchy, it didn't affect me that much.
Maybe they'll be motivated by the ones who withheld the Reid fight.
Otherwise, I can't explain how hard it is to come across a monster so far.
The interior of the labyrinth is large, but it takes time for monsters to gush.
When will we be able to fight monsters?
Incidentally, it seems that the monsters that appear in the labyrinth are very different biologically, although they are similar in appearance to the monsters outside.
There were theories about why monsters could live inside the labyrinth, where there was not much water or food.
I'm transferring and positioning the monster with the labyrinth outside.
The labyrinth imitates and manufactures monsters.
Monsters are evolving so that they can live in a harsh environment called the Labyrinth, etc.
But since we started exploring the labyrinth, something eggy was discovered inside the labyrinth, and then the creature hatching was a monster in a mature state, so apparently we settled on the conclusion that the labyrinth was producing monsters in a literal sense.
I haven't seen it on the 39 hierarchy yet, but I guess there are multiple nests with monster eggs here as well.
A more efficient leveling would also be possible if we could get an idea of its location.
So when I discover what is commonly known as the "Egg Room" and report it to the school, I get a little reward.
It's not a lot of money for me right now, so I wouldn't be aggressive enough to find it.
"... oh, you're back. Phil, welcome back."
"Hmm... I'm back..."
I was thinking about that, and Phil came to us.
As a scout, she had the surrounding traps discovered and disarmed, as well as the location of monsters in the distance.
This kind of work seems to be best done by the 'Rogue' derived from the banditry position, but even Phil the 'Ninja' can do enough.
You can also see that kind of performance is enhanced for high levels.
"So, how was the result?
"There are no monsters around here..."
"Oh well."
Couldn't you even discover it by using Phil's defensive abilities?
Here, it might be better to go back to one hierarchy, to fight monsters.
"Yumi, what do you think"
"That's right...... I guess we'd better give up fighting in this hierarchy for today and move somewhere else"
Apparently, Yumi shares the same opinion.
Then it would be decided in that policy.
The majority of the members who make up this Reid belong to the [Meteor Party].
With Gilmouth's decision, we should all agree.
"Wait a minute. Why do we have to move around better?"
If I thought so, 'Navata', one of the members working with us on Reid, the sorcerer, waited for Yumi.
"I don't run into monsters at all because [Black Dragons] and [Noah's Ark] are on this floor. What is it? Then you shouldn't be doing the kind of money we pull here."
"You shouldn't pull," he said?
"You've made up your mind. Not to let the seniors out."
To stay out of it, huh?
Well, they fight together as buddies in the Reid, but other than that, there's something like a competition.
I guess you can't admit something like losing in a hunting contest.
"!... Mr. Singh"
If that's what you think, Phil called out to me with his eyes in the back of the aisle.
"What's up, Phil?"
"Someone will come over..."
Who is it?
[Black Dragon Regiment], or [Noah's Ark], or the senior investigators on patrol again?
I want you to be an investigator.
Now, meeting with the 2nd and 3rd graders is a bit of a draw.
I don't know what Navata's gonna say.
"Oh, it's so odd to see you here."
…………
My wish didn't come true.
From behind the aisle came a group of [Noah's Ark].
"Ahhh! Mr. Sakya to Mr. Mina! I can't believe we met by chance in a place like this! After all, we are destined to be attracted..."
Mr. Claude, shut up for a second.
"Oh, yes."
[Noah's Ark] 's leader, Noah, embarrassed Claude for coming forward.
Up and down, Noah is better than Claude.
Although it must mean they're both freaks.
Even so, hasn't this man given up on the Minas yet?
But the look on Mina's face is a little dramatic.
I don't care what you think, it's a pulse.
"So, you guys came here to hunt, too, right?
"Yes, I am."
Yumi returned Noah's question.
In this case, I will confine myself to the negotiator.
Please don't do anything, Yumi.
"Then you were a foot too late."
"The monsters that were emerging around here nearly annihilated us [Noah's Ark] and [Black Dragons]"
Kanna and Aki, who work around Claude, have been telling us that.
Destroyed, huh?
Maybe these guys have been staying inside the labyrinth and fighting since yesterday.
Then we won't have a choice if we're pushed out once we turn around considering the safety aspect.
"I mean, if we don't get to the back where we haven't mapped yet, we won't have a first chance to meet the monster, you know?"
"Exactly. That's what the Black Dragons do."
Hmm.
Then it seems more and more better to go back upstairs.
Slightly less efficient, but that's acceptable too.
"Wait a minute! Could [Noah's Ark] have revealed the night in the labyrinth! Otherwise, you won't be able to destroy a monster yesterday!
"Yeah, but?
"If so, it's weird! Exploring the labyrinth should basically be decided until the sun goes down!
That's what I thought, arrowhead, the Navata behind me came forward and started stuffing Noah and the others.
I admit I don't scare the shit out of my classmates.
But don't bother trying to rub it.
I was a little concerned about that area, too.
"The teacher has given me proper permission. So there's nothing wrong."
"... Oh really?
"Neither do we cage in the labyrinth without permission. That's the same for [Black Dragons] seniors."
Was permission granted for [Noah's Ark] to stay inside the labyrinth?
If so, Navata will have to pull back too.
"Hey, you're a little busy with the upper classmates. Give me some slack."
"Yeah!?
... did I get tangled up before I pulled back?
Navata was flabbergasted by Kanna and grabbed by her collar.
"Canna, would you give him a break if you could put the bake in?
"... you don't have the strength to stop me, Sin. Pull in."
"But he's one of my Reid buddies for once. Forgive me, forgive me."
"... you're the one with the worst attitude toward the upper class."
When I entered the arbitration, Kanna let Navata go and took the distance as she clamped her face.
She beat the crap out of the middle and high school division duel.
Remember that time, maybe you're on guard.
Or did they hate you?
Well, I don't really care if you don't like me.
"I really want to beat you into seniority too... I'll pull it off for today"
"Well, thank you"
"... Shit"
While Kanna pounded her tongue, she returned to the Claudes.
You know what I'm talking about.
He said he taught at the tournament.
"No, wait a minute"
"? Noah?
"Your sister's against hand-held here."
but now Noah started putting a mess on us.
Oh, my God.
Here's what I need you to do.
Can't you forgive me for feeling tainted with menthes or something?
"I demand that this child and Singh temporarily lay laid with their sisters in order to foster a spirit of respect for their superiors"
"... you said you'd put a raid together?
"Are you dissatisfied?
I am not dissatisfied with [Noah's Ark] and putting together a raid.
I'm going to rely on you as a buddy in the 40 tier underground Laid Boss battle.
But I'd like to beg your pardon if it's just me and Navata working with these guys.
The mood of the junior classmates being thrown into the pong among the upper classmates is exhausted by a word of "mindfulness".
Even if Navata and I are thrown in, it's not that different.
"Yeah, wouldn't that be nice? I agree with that plan, too."
"Hey!? Yumi!? What are you thinking!
But if so, Yumi agreed to Noah's suggestion.
And Navata stuffs to Yumi with a look like stunner.
"Yumi! Are you going to sell us to the seniors!
"I'm not selling anything else. I mean, you don't have the authority to sell you to me."
"Then what is it!
Navata looks pretty excited.
Well, I'm not mad, either, but I don't really know what Yumi's thinking.
So I kept quietly waiting for Yumi's words.
"I need you two to gather information on [Noah's Ark]."
"What? Gathering information?
"In the next Reid battle, [Noah's Ark] and everyone else will have a joint front. That's why we're all going to train our seniors to move as Reid. So, as part of that training, there was a plan to temporarily exchange members as an opportunity to get to know each other."
I see.
In other words, what Noah said was, did it include the designation of the members to be replaced?
"Then how come it's just me and Singh!
"Well, this project was something I was going to tell everyone in a little while. Singh, you and Navata are going to have you go as an advance unit, and that's what this is about, right? Senior Noah."
"Right. Yumi, what you're saying fits pretty well."
Leading Troops Hey...
We're forced to struggle alone until the main unit joins us, but I guess the Noah and his senior classmates will snore us down in that period.
"But I'm not a member of the Meteor Club."
"This isn't an exchange between guilds, it's an exchange on a grade-by-year basis. So it applies to you, Singh."
"... are you sure?"
For once, I thought I might be able to escape, but that seems very difficult.
Hey, Navata, don't stare at me.
I would have helped him earlier.
"Well, I can't help it."
"That's pretty much accepted, Mr. Singh. I was just wondering if I could go a little further."
"I didn't hate working with the [Noah's Ark] guys on their own, and I wanted to make sure you knew what you were capable of on a Reid basis."
I'm not sure about Noah, but the six Claudes have seen and largely grasped their strengths in duel competitions before.
But I don't know how strong these guys are due to the mutagenic restriction nashi.
Also, I'd like to see the overall strength of the top two years, so if it's temporary, it wouldn't be a bad idea to form a reid.
"Then it's settled. Your sister will welcome you!
Thus, me and Navata subscribed to the two-year reid the day after we returned to the ground from the labyrinth.
Navata is more frightened of them for two years, but I'm always the same.
Also, Sakya tries to follow us subtly, and Mina and I were stopped and shocked.
I'm glad you want to be with me, but follow proper procedures, Sakuya.
