Isekai Dungeon de RTA

Lesson 22: Change

"I didn't expect to avoid the present………………"

One of them, who suddenly appeared in the vicinity, raised his voice.

"Are you guys...... the hell?

Ultimately, five opponents get stuck in my sight.

There is no denying that he is still hiding somewhere.

The opponents are all properly armed. The characteristic is that they all cover the bottom half of their faces with cloth.

You mean it's bad when the surface cracks?

"Dear Kite..."

Eliza looks worried about me.

I whisper to Eliza.

"Eliza…… be ready to transfer at any time"

"……… Yes"

Eliza nods. But one of them speaks out as if he had seen the interaction.

"I know that the princess there can use metamagic. I don't think I have time to chant."

Well, apparently he knew who this one was and set it up.

Well, by chance, it's too much. I'm not surprised.

"What's your purpose?

"In the meantime, I think you should follow us."

"What if I say no?

"Until you force me to come with you."

I don't know the underlying purpose, but apparently they're trying to abduct us. You won't answer me if I ask you any more.

"It would be helpful if you came about without resisting."

"…… Do you think I'll follow you?

"You won't come..."

I guess they didn't think we'd be caught irresistibly either.

Five people look at each other and they take a fighting stance.

But I don't want to fight five people like this.

I don't know if they know anything about me, but at least there's a way to win knowing about Eliza.

I mean, you have an overwhelming chance of losing even if I join you there.

I need to hit something for now.

"I'm sorry I'm willing to fight, but depending on the conditions, you can follow me irresistibly"

They have a surprise look on my suggestion.

I thought Eliza would be surprised, but she doesn't show any particular reaction to you trusting me.

"What's the meaning of this?

Is it their leadership? That's the same guy you were talking to earlier.

"How about I fight the strongest of you and if I lose, Eliza and I follow you guys? Of course not."

They look at each other again.

And once again, a man of leadership opens his mouth.

"What happens when you win?

Well, I wonder what I'll do.

I decide to try the best of a few choices that the other person might reject.

"If I win, how about I just miss Eliza?

Eliza tried to say something to me for a moment, but she didn't say anything after all.

He might have guessed what I was thinking.

Well, I can't imagine the other person drinking these terms.

I won't stop thinking there and think about my next option.

But the answer was unexpected.

"You can take that if you want."

I didn't know it would be OK…….

I lose sight of the other person's purpose.

Well, this is convenient. As long as there's a necklace, if Eliza can escape, it's synonymous with me being able to escape.

"Shall we do it quickly, then? Who's gonna do that over there?

"Of course I'll do it"

The man who answered that was the leader I was talking to earlier.

Well, this is exactly what I expected. I don't know as much as his strength, but I'm going to have to ask him to lose.

Confront the other man.

Anyway, I can't talk about losing here.

Though I want to leave as much leeway as possible to win.

In the meantime, I'm going to take the lead and make a decision before they do anything extra.

I lay down my sword to the point of my apologies and run towards them.

Wave your sword at your opponent.

However, it can be avoided by flying lightly to the side.

Woven, of course.

Go on, I hold hands before they avoid me.

Here's what you got to do, okay?

At that moment, the magic popped out of my hand - it must have looked like it.

Of course, it was Luca who actually used the magic.

He hasn't shown up. You're just making it invisible rather than not?

I asked Luca to give me a hand this time.

Rather than, there is no other way to fight a strong opponent.

Me and Luca had already finished the operation meeting in our heads, so there was no waste in the move.

Luca's magic hits the target.

That's just great.

Well, there's no reason why he's half as strong as he is because he's bossing in a dungeon like a dragon.

The magic I used is like the same water magic I used in Elf Country before.

But for me, it was a surprise that Luca used that magic.

At the meeting, it was supposed to be about cleaning up with the weakest magic possible.

Because Luca used powerful magic, my magic was consumed in large quantities and fluttered a little.

Honestly, I'm not in a position to fight anymore.

"Luca? Aren't we talking a little differently?

"I also tried to use a little weaker magic... but he can do quite a bit. I've used the magic of strength."

"If that's what Luca says, I guess so. Good judgment."

Because if you can't defeat him with the first unintentional blow, you can't even see him.

Maybe it turned out to be the right answer.

I whip my sloppy body and look around.

I guess you didn't think the battle would be decided in an instant.

The faces of the raiders are uniformly full of surprises.

"The battle is our victory."

"Did you kill him?

That's what one of them asks back.

"I didn't kill him... he blew up flashy, so he might be hurt."

"…… well."

Seems a little relieved to hear that.

"Eliza doesn't have a problem leaving, does she?

"It's a promise."

That's a little light.

And if he raids you, will he keep his word to the law?

In the meantime, if I return Eliza, I can make sure she's safe too, so I'll return her as soon as possible.

"Master Kite will be home soon, won't he?

Eliza has a worrying expression.

But you know what I'm after. This one snorts, reluctantly, but begins to cast the magic of metastasis.

And as promised, he didn't even get in the way, and Eliza's transfer was complete.

Well, now I can fly right to Eliza too.

But I got a little interested in their purpose.

It is not a bad idea to explore a little and then go home.

It doesn't mean he won't be targeted again.

"What's your purpose? Is it my purpose to let Eliza go honestly?

"I can't explain that unless you come with me. But yeah... let's just say you're right about the latter."

Was it me? If that's the case, I've put in a lot of dumb terms.

It's like you've spread your power from yourself.

But I am defeating their leadership in an instant.

You won't come with your hands lightly.

"You can follow me, but if there is anything suspicious, I will attack you immediately. Still okay?

"Oh, you're just so sorry to fight you. The guy who just fought you is over level 30... which means you simply have more fighting power than that."

It's level nine - and you look like a jerk.

I won't tell you if I'm wrong.

"Okay. I'm interested, and I'm gonna follow you guys."

"That won't help us."

I decided to follow them for now in order to explore their purpose.

We retrieve their leader, who had passed out a long way away, and then we start moving with the metastasis.

Apparently, some of them were able to use magic.

I thought the place they would take me would be a big tip too, but apparently it doesn't work that well.

Arrived in a stone room.

I feel like the castle is built somewhere in the capital.

Is this a castle somewhere?

I sit on the chair that was right next to me.

"Well, why don't you tell us what happened?

"Yeah, okay."

Looks like one of them moved the wounded man into a separate room and the other three will stay here.

Quickly one of them speaks out.

"Can I check one first?

"Yeah… I don't mind."

"Is it true that you attacked an intermediate dungeon by yourself?

I'm pretty shocked by that word.

Isn't the information just too fast?

Did you leak it from someone?

There must still be a few people who know about it.

No, speaking of which, you normally spoke to Royce's opponent in the dining room in the barracks.

No wonder whoever hears it......

But it's just too soon.

If you think about it anyway, you won't get an answer any time soon.

It's not good to be spotted upset at times like this. I pretend to be calm and answer questions.

"Yeah, really."

I wonder if they were half-hearted or if they saw upset in my words, too.

"Well, that strength would be impossible... but I've never heard such a story by myself."

"I don't care about that. What does that have to do with bringing me here?

"Well don't rush...... I want to hear another one. Didn't you get an invitation from the empire or the king of the elf kingdom?

"Invite?"

I had some conjecture as to what the invitation meant, but once I heard it from the other person, I asked him back.

"Well, to put it briefly, my people didn't invite me. Whether or not you have shown a bare gesture to take in on your side."

Is that still the case?

Of course, yes if you answer honestly, but you don't get too much information out of this one.

In the meantime, I decided to flush the questions and see how things were going.

"Come on, I wonder how it went"

I don't know how you took my answer, but the man keeps talking.

"As a matter of fact, our request is to say that if you were to accept the invitation, I would like you to turn it down. Well, to be precise, we're just moving on the orders above."

"I can't see the story... how it's going to relate to you when I take it"

I've only got a little bit of the contour.

I can't read the details yet.

"You know what starts in two days?

"Two days later? I don't know…………"

What will happen in two days?

I can think one after the other and I can't catch up with it in my head.

"You don't know? Then I'll teach you something special. If it was meant to be, the announcement would be tomorrow...... okay. In fact, two days from now, all countries and guilds will work together, and a new attempt will begin."

"A new attempt?

"Yes. Simply put, a country with a large number of strong adventurers becomes favoured in various respects. Naturally, you'll have a stronger voice."

"That's a good story. All the countries agreed. How do we determine how many strong adventurers there are in the first place?

"Nothing. Not all countries agreed. Well, I'll skip explaining the area………………."

I silently urge them to continue.

"Uh, how did you judge the adventurer? That would keep a clear record of the dungeon on the guild card, wouldn't it? Fine points are calculated from which dungeons have been cleared. That is the personal point of the adventurer. That point is added to the guild to which each person belongs. That sum determines the rank of each country"

I'm kind of confused.

He's already on the nanomite of my anticipated expansion.

The man goes on to explain.

"Well all of a sudden you can't understand what they say... I think the guild will tell you more later, but I'll use you as an example for reference and I'll calculate it. I hear you've cleared an intermediate dungeon, but that usually puts you in 1000 points."

I snort silently.

"But... the dungeon of the Imperial Capital you've cleared is the most difficult level of intermediate. If so, the points will be 5000."

Five times.

Well, that's going to be worth it if I say it with the severity of that dungeon.

"If you had cleared a few other dungeons, of course, that would add up... you know what that means?

I don't know what you want to hear.

I shake my head in silence.

"I'm talking about you already possessing the top points in all countries… I mean, you don't have a problem being in the capital or the guild of the Elf Nation with that point"

Finally, the conversation is connected.

But even if they say it's troubling, I don't have to listen to them.

I tried to make that clear, but the man would talk again.

"So, the general thrust of us and other countries... is that you belong to the guild of the Eleanor Nation, which is going to have the lowest rank."

Whatever your thoughts were, there was something going on around me.
