It has been about four months since Rozria joined the party.

The “Arrivers”, who have added a new strength, have successfully broken through the hierarchy, and when they noticed, updated the party's highest reaching hierarchy to reach the 16th hierarchy.

Even me who is really good at achieving my unsatisfactory goal will be beaten.

I was confused that it would be easy to accomplish the feat of reaching 16 levels that most parties in this city have not achieved, but if I thought about it, I did not participate in the battle on the way to here And of course?

It's no surprise that I, who borrowed 100% of the power of others, have never felt so excited.

Rather, I'm afraid to treat others' achievements like my own with confidence and saying, "I've done my best so far."

You will never be such a brazen man.

"Even it's creepy."

A voice that the Force suddenly blurs resounds around.

At present, "Arrivers" has just descended to 16 levels and searched for a few minutes.

Even if you speak with normal voice volume, it will be noticeable in the dark night city of 16 levels.

At that level, the hierarchy was wrapped in silence.

"It's a city without a sense of life."

Although the houses and buildings are lined up in a narrow space, it did not look like a city where people live.

There are street lights, but no passers-by.

Neither is it necessary as a means of transportation, such as a carriage.

No debris is found on the city tiles, and there are no dirt fragments.

This is unlikely if the city is functioning as a city.

"Yes-"

Forcing the force, he touched a door in one of the houses around.

The door opened without any response.

"Hey, how carelessly are you open? It's dangerous. Monsters may be lurking."

"Don't worry. You only have to defeat the monsters if they come out?-You said earlier that you didn't hide your monsters in the houses around here with Search for Enemy."

"Yes ..."

But too careless.

There may be some monsters that I can't detect with my search engine.

"I think it's exactly what Note says."

Thankfully Jin gave me a help boat.

"This level is also a first for us, and we need to be careful because the dungeon difficulty level jumps up every five levels."

This was a story I asked Jin in advance.

In the dungeon, the difficulty level increases as the level progresses, but it seems that the layer difficulty level jumps at multiples of 5 such as 5 to 6 levels and 10 to 11 levels.

Therefore, these 16 layers should not be as easy as the previous 15 layers.

That said, I can't imagine Jin and others struggling to fight ...

Jin hears me as I look around in a house without clothes, tableware, or other small items.

"Does this house look strange from the perspective of you who have [mapping]?"

"It's a normal house in terms of layout, and it doesn't seem to have a hidden passage, so it feels like a normal house, but when you look at it, you just put the furniture when no one lives. I feel strange in the atmosphere, but there is. "

[Mapping] provides relatively detailed information such as the layout of buildings.

I often thought it wasn't that bad, except that it occupied three slots.

"Are there no monsters hidden in other buildings?"

Nod to confirm from Jin.

"Yes, all the monsters a bit far from here seem to be on the street."

From the 16th level, there is no map created by the party.

[Mapping (mapping)] For me with skill, it was finally the turn.

Right now, we are playing the role of [Mapping], , and within the party.

At last, I was a little excited about the role I was given.

"It would be easier to fight outdoors, and I'd like to engage with monsters once.

Jin decides the direction of the search.

Of course, there is no opposition from the members.

The party's course of action was largely determined by Jin, and the usual pattern was everyone followed.

The six left a creepy house with no sense of life.

Leaving the house and crossing the avenue, he seemed to have escaped from a block of residential areas.

A building that looks different from a house and looks like a store is in sight.

"Take a look! It looks like the products are lined up!"

Neme rushes to the shelves at the sales floor in the store diagonally in front.

Once again, he was a party member who was unwilling to act, but it has become troublesome to be careful.

I know that Monsters aren't lurking in Search for Enemy.

Jin will manage if the danger is approaching.

There was a tent on the roof of the shop where Neme ran up, and there was something painted on it.

I wonder what. That is?

Is it a letter?

It's swelled with thin lines.

But no matter how hard I try, I can't read it. Is it a language I don't know?

When I was watching, Erin came next door.

"Is it written" Super @ Heine "?"

"Where is it?"

"It's the character I saw earlier in my notebook."

"I can read whether it was a letter after all."

"It's not natural."

"Where is it commonplace ..."

I had no idea what she meant for granted.

Erin is short on words ...

I wondered, and stared at the whole body of the girl in front of me.

"Huh, maybe ... Erin was a dungeon monster born in this city?"

"I don't see such a shock! Can't a leading mage like me be able to read dungeon characters, right?"

"Dungeon character?"

I asked a strange word because it appeared.

Erin sighed in such a way that I seemed troublesome.

"You don't know that."

I was a little irritated by Erin's mouth, but I wanted to listen to the explanation of the dungeon characters and I was really satisfied.

Well, as Erin said, I have little knowledge of dungeons and magic.

When I was in my hometown of Changs, I didn't think I would try a dungeon, a dangerous land where adventurers only challenge lovers.

Therefore, there is no prior knowledge.

Because Changs was a small village, there were no facilities to learn magic.

Magic refers to the spelling used by mages like Erin.

The spells used by Neme and Rozria are not strictly magical, but sacred.

It was said that to be able to use magic would require a large amount of money and a favorable surrounding environment.

Those who want to be wizards need to learn from an early age.

Mastering magic requires a great deal of knowledge and is not something that can be packed overnight.

Also, by practicing magic from a young age, he seems to be able to learn spells faster and possess more magic.

Due to this background, early education from parents and magical schools was required to succeed as a wizard.

That's why we need money and a rich environment.

By the way, if you practice magic by the age of 15, it seems that you can easily gain magic-related skills.

It seems to be true besides magic, and education up to the age of 15 seems to provide some degree of skill orientation.

When I was in Chang's, I practiced sword lightly, but the skill I got was mapping.

why…….

Well, it's like talking about the odds increasing a bit, and there are many exceptions like me.

So, living a life without magic, I was interested in Erin's story.

I will listen to her explanation.

"The dungeon letters are the letters that are written everywhere in the dungeon."

"Isn't the explanation just as it is? Mr. Erin?"

"It's noisy ... just listen and talk to the end."

"Yes, Erin-sensei!"

"..."

My prank was brilliantly passed through.

I wish I could ride a little bit ...

`` The letters in the dungeon are packed with a variety of information, ranging from simple information on how many levels you are in, to valuable information such as tips on how to capture the hierarchy, information on spelling and arts, etc. "

"Why is such information bothersome in the dungeon?"

"It's an eternal mystery even at the Magic Society .... The most dominant theory is that the dungeon builder is a message for us to capture the dungeon. That's why the dungeon is said to be a test made by God. ''

New information came in one after another, and it became difficult to understand.

What is a magic society? Don't put in a new word.

Probably, Erin is a teacher who gets a sneak peek at the school, saying, "That teacher's class is hard to understand."

That said, I'm a bad guy, but ...

"I'm listening to the story, note⁉"

"Yes, I'm listening, teacher."

"So why next time a mage studies dungeon characters.

"I don't need to explain it because I've got a good idea from the flow of the story. Anyway, to study spelling, wouldn't it be better to be able to read dungeon letters that contain a lot of information about spelling?"

This farce was getting tired.

My interest was chilled by Erin's lengthy explanation.

On the contrary, Erin seems to be feeling a little bit,

"Uh ... yes ... but ... next ..."

He was moaning for more knowledge.

Let's get Erin-sensei off the podium here.

"Neme-nee, is there anything in the store?"

"Well ... a little ... wait ..."

Ignore Erin's call and head down to Neme.

Neme was waving in response to my voice.

"Please come everyone! All the carrots sold in the store are carrots!"

Hmm? I don't understand what I mean.

Did something go wrong with your head ...?

For the time being, the five ran to Neme, trying to confirm the truth.

"It's really all ginseng ..."

Jin picked up one orange vegetable lined up in the store.

Vegetables similar to those in his hands are found throughout the store.

"While you are at this level, you don't seem to have any problems with food."

"Is that the problem ..."

Just like Jin, put the tsukkomi in the force looking at the carrots.

"I'm tired of eating only carrots"

"But I don't know! @ Note-kun!"

"What, Rosria ..."

"Erin's [cooking / small] skills may make you cook deliciously so as not to get tired! [Cooking / small] skills!"

Hey, Roslia! It definitely fuels Erin

I emphasize the [dish / small] part!

Look, Erin is gazing here!

It's like I'm swearing!

I didn't say anything!

Since Rozria has entered this party, Erin's mood tends to get worse, with twice as many people fueling Erin.

Seriously manage this atmosphere.

"Take a look! That store is also full of carrots!"

Without knowing my hardship, Neme rushes to the store opposite.

As we walked on, the products displayed in the store were full of ginseng.

"What? ... this hierarchy .... I don't want to be eerie ..."

Erin's muttering was also reasonable.

We have been around a number of stores since then, but all of them are only carrots.

No other products were found.

Looking at such a large amount of ginseng seems to be crazy.

It's like a town that somebody has made. That was the perfect hierarchy.

Earlier, I felt that the theory that God made the dungeon that Erin had said was undeniable.

But if I were an omnipotent god, I would have built a more decent city.

Perhaps God and others are not all-purpose.

"I'm going to encounter a monster soon, so be careful."

I gave advice to the party members to tell myself.

There are ten signs. The distance is less than 100m.

There were signs of a monster three buildings and two roads ahead.

The number ten is slightly higher. It may be a herd type monster.

The ten monsters all seem to have the same degree of threat, with no difference in strength or type.

"It's a distance where you don't have to fight, but let's fight for a while.

They nodded at Jin's proposal.

Go through the alleys between buildings and quietly reduce the distance to monsters.

I decided to take a place in the direction of the monsters and wait at the corner.

In an attempt to see what the opponent was doing, Jin came out of the corner using Stealth.

"What's that ..."

It's a crisp reaction.

Whether he was interested in the unusual reaction of Jin, Neme rushes to see himself.

I couldn't help but put my hand on her shoulder and activated Stealth.

"Horses--"

"--I'm walking on two legs."

"What, that impression ..."

Erin adds a sting to the impression that has leaked out of our mouth.

No, look at Erin.

I can only say that.

"What the hell is there?"

"I'm a horse!"

Neme answers immediately.

"What are horses?"

"It's a coined word!"

"I have no sense of coined words!"

No, rarely this time I want to defend Neme.

Neme's expression is correct. That is a horse, no matter how you look at it.

Look at Erin too.

True, I can only say that.

"Then, we'll be surprised."

At the signal of Jin's words, we six jumped out.

"Oh! Really horse people!"

I will ignore Erin's loud scream.

Jin was at the forefront. Run up the wall of the building against the gravity with "Climb".

He then descended under the horses and cut their necks.

I was only surprised for a moment to see if the monsters in this hierarchy were not too big for the surprise attack that was so successful.

That would have been true for the other five.

The horse in the back blew the whistle on his neck so that we could have a momentary moment.

Pee!

Everyone shrinks in the loud sound.

However, the rest of the horses only held the spear they were holding and did not attack.

Complete defense posture.

They were impatient for those who did not launch easy attacks and shouted.

"It's a signal! It's like a signal that calls the whistle and friends!"

Search Enemies have noticed a large number of monsters gathering here.

Jin might have perceived danger with Search for Enemy, just like me.

"Escape from here! It's bad to be surrounded by this number!"

While moving his mouth, he shook his black sword.

A sword that undulates like a creature cuts the horse's leg in front of him.

Probably, it has changed its policy from destruction of enemies to deprivation of mobility.

The Force, who preceded Jin, also turned around and prepared to retreat.

"Note, please give directions!"

"Yes!"

Only me and Jin can find where the monsters are coming.

Jin is now free to fight with horses, and I have [mapping].

Apparently, he has to decide the evacuation route as Jin's instructions.

Immediately consider the path to a section with relatively few monsters.

If it can be, I want to move on.

It would be better to move away from the starting point.

Determine the general guidelines and start running.

"Roslia, I'll guide you, so please ask before!"

I can't help running without the ability to fight.

No matter how much we tried to go on the road without monsters, it seemed necessary to engage several bodies.

"Go right on the road there!"

Running with instructions to Rozria, running with a slow foot.

It's my job to protect me in such cases.

Every morning, my preparations for running were alive.

It looks like Rozria, Neme and me are following me, and the other three are following.

Don't worry about the back. Let's concentrate on choosing an evacuation route.

Right to left.

No matter how you changed direction, the monster's siege was definitely narrow.

After all, engagement seems to be inevitable.

"There are three monsters on the road ahead! Somehow!"

"Isn't it too rough anyway!"

"Well, somehow!"

"It doesn't change much!"

Screaming, Rosria charges at one of the horses emerging from the alley without slowing down.

Use the shield to bounce off horses without leaving the running energy.

Spin on the spot and slice the remaining horses with a holy sword.

However, the horses that Rozria flipped off with the shield did not appear to have taken much damage.

He whistled without raising his body slammed into the house.

It will be a signal to call a friend again.

You can find out that monsters are gathering in Search for Enemy.

"Oh!

Roslia notices that too, and steps on the ground frustratingly.

"Let's relieve that already"

"Okay ... sorry ..."

"No, you don't have to apologize.

He hurries Rozria, who sends a grudge to the fallen horse.

Monsters calling friends in the hierarchy.

Certainly this hierarchy may be troublesome.

Until now, there was no monster with such troublesome characteristics in the hierarchy.

As expected, it's 16 levels.

As always, it's easy to capture-it's unlikely.
