The day after a young man named Jin called out, one of the members of "Arrivers".

I and Jin were heading from the city of Broad to the city of Purif, home of the Arrivers.

The city of Purif has one of the dozens of dungeons that have been discovered only a dozen or so around the world.

The name is "Purif's Dungeon". This kingdom is the only dungeon.

The town of Purif, located southwest of the territory of the kingdom, seems to be more prosperous when described as a city than a city.

It is said that the adventurers who challenge the dungeon, the treasure excavated from the dungeon, is moist.

In fact, this is the first time that you have visited a place as thriving as the city of Purif.

Because of that, I was a little nervous. Something is not calm.

Me and Meya were born in a small, really small village called Changs.

And I spent 15 years in the village.

Of course, Changs was a non-prosperous village, so he didn't have a god stone.

The only way to receive the gift was to go to another city.

She was the same age as Meyer, but her birthday was earlier, so in the month I turned fifteen, we went to a nearby city called Broad.

And we gained skills in the city and became adventurers.

"What is the city of Purif like?"

There is still plenty of time to get to town.

Purif is not far from Broad, but the journey is still long.

I asked a question because it was nothing but a swing in a carriage.

"It's a busy city. I've been living in Purif for only a few years, but I'm quite fond of it."

A lively city ...

There are too few towns I've been to and I can't imagine it very specifically.

In other words, Jin lives in Purif because he came to Broad to find me.

Why? ...

When I asked the question that came to my mind, Jin answered me politely.

"I wanted a member who had that much [mapping]. I heard that an adventurer from the city of Broadway was talking about Noto and rushed in."

Who is that adventurer ...?

I'm too confident because I talked about masochism to various people.

"But, are you okay? If Jin comes to this town, wouldn't it be necessary to interrupt the dungeon search of" Arrivals "during that time?"

"That's okay. At this time, our party is a situation where members of the tank-type combat job (battle style) that attracts the monster's attention are missing and we can not proceed. Only with [mapping (mapping)] I'm looking for a new member with a tank role. ''

Isn't that okay at all?

Did you miss a member?

"But why do you need to have [mapping mapping]?"

Asked a question that I was always worried about.

I had been wondering since yesterday, but had missed the time to listen and had to put it off.

"In the dungeon, there are monsters that are so strong that they are said to be killing adventurers, but there is not only a wall where we and other dungeon capture specialty parties collide-"

With that said, Jin began explaining.

He says the dungeon is several times wider and more complicated than I imagined.

It seems that it is difficult to grasp where you are and to return from the road you came from, even if it is a shallow layer that the ancestors have transcribed on the map, but from the middle layer without a map.

It is painful and inefficient to proceed in such a place while checking the current location one by one.

For the Arrivers who are confident in the battle, they seem to have more trouble than defeating monsters.

That's why he was looking for [mapping] skills.

I understand Jin's explanation, but she also raises new questions.

"I think it would be better to look for people who have [World Map (World Map)] and [Map (Area Map)] skills ..."

It was a natural question.

There are few owners due to the rarity of UR, but it is completely upward compatible with [mapping (mapping)]. [Map (area map)], which may have combat skills, is absolutely more convenient.

Such an idea is the consensus of the world, and I do not think that its evaluation is wrong.

However, Jin smiled as soon as he was waiting.

"Do you know exactly what the effect of [world map (world map)] and [map (area map)] is?"

Of course not.

The room with the stone bed of God is usually entered by one person, and cannot be seen by others.

Meyer exceptionally showed me the letters reflected on the stone, but would not normally see anything other than her own.

I shook my head.

"This is the text reflected on the [world map (world map)] and [map (area map)] stone discs. It seems to be a restoration made by referring to the records of the past or the owner's story. But I had a hard time. ''

With that said, Jin brought two sheets of paper in front of me.

―― World Map (World Map) ――

Rarity: UR (Ultra rare)

Consumption slots: 3

Effect: Ability to memorize maps of this world and all points as knowledge

―― Map (area map) ――

Rarity: R (rare)

Consumption slot: 2

Effect: The ability to understand as a knowledge a map within a radius of 1 km in this world.

So that's it. Is it such a sentence?

As you might imagine, it's an upwardly compatible version of [mapping].

"So then, Mr. Note. Do you remember the text of [mapping] exactly?"

I do not remember…….

I was shocked by the skills I had acquired, so I didn't think of copying.

If you pray in front of God's stone, you can see the details of the skills you have obtained many times, so I don't think anyone would do that ...

I shook my head again.

Jin showed me another piece of paper.

"This is the restoration of the [Map] text"

Look through the content that was written.

―― Mapping (mapping) ――

Rarity: SR (Super Rare)

Consumption slots: 3

Effect: Ability to automatically map a 1km radius area where you passed, and memorize it as knowledge

I feel like this.

Perhaps the text seems slightly different, perhaps because it is a restoration.

"Did you notice any of these three restorations?"

"Um ... I'm sorry. I don't know at all."

"Well, yes. I'm saying it myself, but I don't usually notice."

"Where should I pay attention?"

"The only thing to notice is that the word" this world "does not contain any words.

Compare the text of the three papers that were passed.

"Sure, it's not included in [Mapping] ... but why is that important?"

"Do you know that dungeons are outside of the world?"

"Well, yes ..."

"In other words, dungeons are outside the scope of" this world. "Therefore, they are not reflected as maps on [world maps (world maps)] or [maps (area maps)]. How is it? "

With the guidance so far, it has become clear what Jin is trying to convey.

At the same time, the usefulness of [mapping], which was treated as a departure skill, is-.

"Does it work in dungeons?"

Jin nodded at my question.

Seeing his nod, the cold all over the body.

Goose skin spreads. A feeling of excitement as if the blood vessels in the brain were completely opened.

-There was a use for [Mapping], which is considered to be a departure skill.

This skill was not a backwards compatible skill, but a useful skill that was differentiated.

Knowing that fact, he had the shock of hitting his head.

"I knew it for the first time .... But there is such a use for [mapping], but is public opinion so low?"

"It's not yet known to the public. It was a coincidence that we came to this fact."

"By chance?"

"Yes. During the dungeon capture, I happened to discover the corpses of the adventurers. Because the corpses were skeletal, it might have been a party that was quite active long ago. I was searching for my belongings and found several maps. ''

He showed me a map that seems to be one of them.

"It's not the shallow map that's on the market. It's a mid-tier map that's not on the market. By the way, this is a shallow map that's on the market, drawn without skills."

Jin gave another map.

The difference between the two was obvious.

The map that the skeletal corpse had was clearly drawn with an overwhelming amount of drawing.

It's like a map floating in my brain.

"So we made a hypothesis. This map was drawn using some skill. [World map (world map)] and [map (area map)] should not be used in dungeons. Was famous among the adventurers who dive into the dungeon, but upon closer inspection, there was no record of anyone who tried the [mapping] skill. Because people who have [mapping] will not dive into the basic dungeon. "

I understand what Jin wants to say. [Mapping] Skills were too famous as outlier skills for adventurers.

If you get [Mapping], you will not normally be an adventurer.

Even better, the best adventurers can't dive into dungeons that are likely to kill.

Also, [mapping] may have few skill holders due to the high degree of rarity.

"Sometimes, like the adventurers found in the corpse, they may have hidden it to monopolize their interests, though ..."

Jin once added a supplement.

"But as long as you listen, maybe the skills of [Mapping] may not be usable in dungeons. Adventurers found in skeletal corpses are just good at drawing maps Did you have a new kind of skill you haven't found yet? "

I was just anxious and asked what I thought.

Then, Jin is reluctant to open up.

"I can't deny that. Until you try [Mapping (Mapping)], you don't understand ...? A tentative explanation of why [World Map (World Map)] or [Map (Area Map)] cannot be used in a dungeon. If you follow the hypothesis of "this world" that is being used, you can use [mapping (mapping)] and think that it is OK, but ... I can not affirm it. "

No, I wanted you to affirm it ....

***

After a long journey we arrived in Purif.

On the way with Jin, we talked a lot about why "Arrivals" needed [Mapping].

I heard what kind of activities "Arrives" had done, and I talked about an episode with Meyer.

He never laughed and listened seriously.

When I walked down the gate to enter the city, I was overwhelmed by the bustling city of Purif.

There are so many things I haven't seen before and everything I see is fresh.

There are stalls lined up, the roads are wide, the number of passers-by and carriages.

When I was walking about Jin while being deprived of such an eye, I was in front of a big building.

On the building's billboard, "Arrives" was written in dignified and colorful characters.

It is a very self-assertive character.

Jin stopped and turned to me.

"Welcome, our home. To the party house of 'Arrives'!"

With a look like Jin's own party, I realized I had finally come this far.

I can't go back anymore.

No, I don't want to go back.

When you step back, you're only waiting for the miserable and painful days of the past six months.

I'm sorry about that everyday.

Following what is. The next will never fail.

Failure in the adventurer life with Meiya. My heart broke and couldn't keep up with her.

I don't want to repeat that miserable past again.

Even if the members of "Arrivers" are more powerful than Meyer.

I'll definitely follow you. I'll hold on.

No matter how shy it is.

To those who needed me.

Don't be limited to those who reach "Arrivers".

To meet expectations.

This time, I will not give up trying. Show off your feet.

――Yes, let's swear to my heart.
