I didn't think there was an Elev who was supposed to be back on the ground. Besides, I'm not alone.

As I left, Elev nodded small.

Apparently he headed right to the ground after that and brought the party behind him.

"Is that it? This guy's got an aura."

The woman behind him looked strange.

"What's up, Ira?

"You know..."

"... Hmm"

"... but... what?"

I didn't hear you very well, but something unexpected happened.

While doing so, the kernels came out pushing Kinosuke.

"Mr. Hick! And Ira, too. Could you have come to help me?

"Sort of. We talked about being trapped and not being able to get out. I think it's going to be okay."

"Yeah, I managed because he... Kinosuke came. So this abandoned castle, this is the loot."

"You're born. I thought you were the lord of the castle. Do I have to call you Master Kernel now?"

"All right, Mr. Hick. Don't be so hard on me."

"But it's true you got stronger. You're gonna have to take down the LV16 cardi to leave this guy, right?

"Oh, did you know? But it's not. Kim Noisuke defeated me by herself, which helped me. If it was just us, we'd be done with one shot."

"Heh, he's not here. Do you want me to tell you more later? You're going to the ground for now. It seems like you can already fight with satisfaction, and I'll give you an escort."

"Thank you. It helps."

In anticipation of his return, he's had quite a fight by the time he gets here.

Until we got out on the ground, there were hardly any battle-like fights.

There were several encounters, but they were all defeated by the hands of the parties that Elev had brought.

Coming up from Naruto, Hick pounded the shoulder of the kernel.

"Anyway, the burns and lacerations are terrible. You're going straight to the infirmary. I'm going to report it to management, so you can do it later."

"Yes. I'm coming"

Dropping off Kim Noisuke and the kernels heading to the infirmary, Hick whispered to neighboring Ira.

"From what I've seen, it's no different than a normal guy, is it?

"Yeah, it's totally different than when I was wrong before. Aura's out of the bin."

"I don't know. But is he the executioner of the LV16 plea? You mean you knocked it down, it's real, right?

Hick's authenticity is synonymous with the strong.

It means those who, like ourselves, can put up their bodies at the forefront of the labyrinth.

Or maybe he crossed the line.

"What, does Ubal see it that way?

"Maybe."

Quality is what makes you strong. But that's not the only way to be strong. We must understand the battle and act rationally, while building our minds and bodies.

Hick it, Ubal it, I've changed party members many times before. Looking for members to follow about their growth, they have become stronger by influencing each other.

Becoming a strong man is a big deal.

Conversely, there are those who abuse their own bodies, put themselves in dangerous places where life is safe and shit eaten, and become stronger by constantly fighting.

Most of the time, they get hurt or die before then, but there are those who survive very luckily by the sea.

Such things, however, will have something somewhere missing in their spirit, and become known as combat fanaticism or killing machines, etc.

It's really hard to stay healthy and be strong for a short period of time.

I don't know if Kim Noisuke is what Ubal calls "the one who crossed the line," but Hick thought it would be necessary to look at the progress.

The party led by this Hick is currently named the 'Meteor Cluster' and is also a competent party to contend for one or two in this dungeon.

He is now employed by the Labyrinth Management Department to make maps below the eleventh level.

Seems to be close to Elev, it became this rescue play, but I think it was this harvest to have seen Kim no Suke up close.

Members of the "Meteor Cluster" are avant-garde with leader Hick and another, Byrne. It consists of a five-man party with Ubal and Dygen on the middle guard and Isla on the rear guard.

I hunt around the LV15 cardi with that member, but not until I pull it up to LV16.

Unless half the members have one more stunt or skill up, but if they hunt around LV16 in their current configuration, they expect someone to get hurt in less than a month.

Therefore, although I appreciate Kim Noisuke, who defeated LV16 with a solo, I had found it dangerous for its rapidly becoming stronger.

"Well, we report it. In the meantime, it's a big one to have eleven bases, and let's have a big announcement."

"... you're up to something, aren't you?

"No, nothing?

Kinosuke, who was being treated in the infirmary, was severely depressed when doctors told him that it would take twenty days for him to heal all.

Medical care in this world is lagging behind that in Japan, and even when it comes to the treatment of fractures, I can only drink potions and do so to the extent that it speeds up bone attachment a little.

Wound sutures, sterilization, etc. can be used as a substitute for anesthesia by using potions and pills to some extent, or to prevent bacteria from entering through the wound, but there is no gay-talking treatment that cures the wound immediately, etc.

Therefore, if you injure your leg, it will hinder your walking, and if your body or face is damaged, it will remain a trail.

Some searchers are normal, such as those with one eye or missing fingers, and some with great scars on their faces.

Rarely do some people have big heads fallen into it, and every time I see a seeker like that, I try to watch out for injuries, but because it's a two-person party, it's inevitable that it becomes a physical ability request.

"Ha, I envy the kernels."

"What's up, Kim Noisuke? Suddenly you say that."

"Don't we all have the same degree of burn and injury? That's an even attack, isn't it? Doesn't that mean you can properly practice alternating attacks with everyone who makes it an ideal kernel and not letting the enemy focus. I really don't like to fight like that."

Kinosuke, in a nutshell, is a brain muscle, if you put it a little better, it means a pig warrior.

I wonder how easy it would be back there if there was another type like Kinosuke and he would protect the avant-garde, etc., but maybe this is a no-good thing for both sides.

"... so we rest and heal our injuries while we study formation, etc., but what about Kinosuke?

This is all the injuries I've sustained. We can't start exploring tomorrow or the day after.

"Right...... I don't know what to do. Let's just take it slow and luxurious once in a while."

"Yes, I have insurance. Take that. I'll talk to the management, too."

"... insurance?

Kim Noisuke looked at Elev. Elev nods cocklessly. Apparently, he knows.

Now that I hear it, they treat me like a guy with no common sense again, I decided to sneak up on Elev later.

After finishing treatment earlier, Kim Noisuke decided to go to the Labyrinth Management Department and talk about today's revelations.

That he helped Farrah on the Nine Layers, and broke up with Eleve as he was and went to the Eleventh.

He gave the kernels a potion in the castle and told them that he had exterminated the cardi in the castle while he was healing his health, and then destroyed the boss who was on the fourth floor.

People in management who had also heard from Hick have nevertheless put every confirmation into Kim Noisuke's story.

Since there seemed to be a part of me that wasn't really taken seriously, I was eventually turning my eyes round when I showed the cards of [Executioner of Conviction (Executioner) LV16] and [Terror Castle LV15].

And I've still talked about insurance, just like the kernel.

This insurance means that all explorers diving deep are supposed to take out, and those who use Nara are supposed to deposit 20,000 al per capita with the Administration Department.

This is a system where when the person is rescued by someone, he or she pays the person who rescued Al, who kept it as insurance, and the 20,000 Al he or she subscribes to will never come back eventually.

Kim Noisuke said he wasn't a subscriber, and Elev said he had something in it instead, so it was being substituted.

Elev may dive as an avant-garde with those who have not yet dived into the depths, which is why Elev has already subscribed for six for the party.

The kernels are naturally insured, with 120,000 al secured for six of the 20,000 al.

This rescue play will be paid to Kinosuke and Elev, as well as members of the "Meteor Cluster," but their allocation percentage will be calculated by listening to everyone in the management department.

The kernels are insured, so they will not make payments at this stage, but they also need to deposit 20,000 al with management when diving deep.

If not, we'll have to make money in the shallow. No, once I dive all the way from the shallow layer, I can put it in with a no-check.

By the way, they don't have a system like insurance in the shallow layers, which is perceived as sweet in itself, the idea that there is help here because the same amount of cardi emerges as the field.

Hearing that, Kinosuke and others thought it was good in a world where weird egalitarianism wasn't spreading.

Finishing the whole story, Kinosuke followed the Labyrinth Management Department.

I'm sad that my left arm is broken and unavailable, so I can't even explore it tomorrow.

"Now what... Meshi first"

The time is evening. I thought it was even dinner somewhere, but one hand is inconvenient, so I made it easy on the street. I'll be taking care of you tomorrow.

"If that's all right today, I wonder how we can kill time from tomorrow"

There are a few things that come to mind: organizing cards and luggage, buying out missing items, but they are all things that will be over in a day.

I don't want to go too far with one inconvenient arm to go sightseeing somewhere.

They tell me to show my face to the infirmary once every few days in the first place.

"Can I make a list of missing items in my room today?"

The next day, I bought everyday items and so on from one end and by noon it was all over. He is, in a way, an indelible man of time.

I couldn't help it, so when I showed my face to Labyrinth Management, they said that I had already finished calculating the money that would be paid by insurance.

Put out your self card as they say and receive Al.

"Uhm, I made money"

Even so, there are not so many, and 40,000 Al were received from the management department.

I didn't know whether it was reasonable or not, so Kim Noisuke was thankful for it.

"Speaking of which, isn't this the time to acquire skills?

It reminds me unexpectedly, and I think it's a good idea to think about it again.

Kinosuke made his way to the Temple of Cards with his feet.

"Welcome to the Temple of Cards"

The priest greeted me as I crept through the entrance.

He seems like a warm old man, but I've certainly seen him run around when the world changed.

Maybe he's not surprisingly high.

"Eh, I'm here today to buy skills"

"Really, have you ever been bought skills in the Temple of Cards in the past?

"Twice."

"Really? Then you don't need to explain."

"Yes."

"This way, please."

With that said, Kim Noisuke remembered that when he first came to buy skills, he received a long explanation along with how to buy them.

If you couldn't buy a skill here, it was explained that you would not have more new skills in the future because you are already at your own limit, and that you might reach your own limit by purchasing a skill.

Kim Noisuke was overheard saying yes, but realised that she might not be able to purchase skills here.

"... well, when it does, it does, okay"

I can't help worrying.

Pills creation can be used more effectively as a seeker by combining it with his own appraisal skills, and in the unlikely event of his retirement due to injury, he thought he would make a living by selling pills.

However, in the case of Kinosuke, the reason for this is afterwards, and the motive is really "I want to make it myself".

He was taken to the back of the Temple of Card, where the priest stopped in front of the small room.

"Here you go, then."

"Thank you"

Encouraged, Kiyonosuke entered the small room.

There is a stone slab, and when Kiyonosuke wears his own card, he comes up with the skills that he can currently buy.

"Whoa... I'm out. This is it."

The pill creation came out. The price is half a million Al.

It's a painful expense, but there's a lot of storage around here because they're selling the materials they brought home in their day after day exploration.

"All right, buy"

Somehow only this tablet resembles a Japanese touch panel and you can gain skills by pressing something like the 'Buy' button.

Kinosuke's body glowed pale and the tablet "Pills Created" disappeared.

Instead, the skill "plant development" was displayed.

I checked with my self-card and it does add 'pill making'.

"Thank you, you have successfully purchased"

"Oh, that's good to hear. … If not, can you tell us what skills you have purchased"

"It's pill making. Instead, plant growth came out."

"Well, that's unusual. The pill creation goes out a lot to the Beast Clan. Plant development is a common skill in elves. You can grow plants that are hard to grow inside, so you have all the gardeners in the royal palace and so on."

"Are you a gardener... it doesn't seem to matter to me"

There are two types of skills that Kinosuke can currently purchase at the Temple of Cards: one is "Prayer", which is displayed from the beginning, and the other is "Plant Development".

You can no longer purchase another skill unless you purchase one of these skills or repeat your donation to the Temple of Cards and increase the number of skills printed on the tablet to three.

"Prayer" was labeled 500,000 al and "Plant Development" was labeled 800,000 al.

Neither is ever cheap.

Moreover, it is also possible that you will not be able to acquire any more skills after acquiring them.

It is troubling.

"Unusual skills are a lot to use, so they can often help you in the future."

"Right. This' plant development 'is not a specific skill for the species, either."

"Yeah. I'm just saying there's a race that shows up a lot. Pills and potions are most commonly created by the Beast Clan. Metalworking and ore processing have many dwarves. For this reason, weapons creation and the like are also the skills Dwarf most prefers to buy. The Elves seem to be healed, treated a lot. There seems to be something else, but you don't communicate much. For people, to the best of my knowledge, there seems to be a lot of soil processing, wood processing, paper making, liquor making, etc."

"I see, you have quite a few traits"

"Yes, even if I say it's a lot, I can buy it from other races like you, so it's not so much occupancy"

"I see. In the meantime, I've been able to buy the skills I want, so I'll refine them."

"Good luck"

Kinosuke left the Temple of Card and decided to go to Eugene.

To him who is a human being but has the skills to make pills.
