Training with Werewolf proceeded without any danger.

However, in the early part of the game, many unintended overkills continued.

Swinging the dagger cut the Welwol's body lightly, and the lightning strike of the fireflies instantly charred Welwolf's body.

The rare potato ammunition had already turned into a mince maker.

Esta is the same.

Esta responded to the attack and jumped into defense, smashing all the fists used by Werewolf to attack.

Everyone was at the mercy of the power they had in hand, as if the child had begun using chopsticks for the first time and struggled with silken tofu.

Why can't you!

Every time he makes a mistake, Haruki heats his head.

But

"Gyoe !!"

Every time I was tortured by power and destroyed Werewolf, I heard a scream from a lotus pocket.

The screams of the cep quickly cooled the heated Seiki.

Thanks to his screaming cold head, Seiki was able to conduct a calm analysis calmly.

In a sense, the screams of Cep may have been most helpful in combat training.

Chep screams with the experience of Werewolf, but Mart is no different.

Without squealing or moving, he was still watching the battle of Seiki, as if he was an avid field director.

In such a situation, the first thing that got the knack was Fire Lotus.

"It's early ..."

"I've had the same experience before."

"... Oh, that was the case."

The "similar experience" that he heard was when Haruki once confided a skill board to her.

She knew that she could raise her skills, and turned to Seiki to give her skill to the magic tree with a strong tone.

He was pressured by the momentum and allocated all points, but in the ensuing battle he could not control his power and continued to struggle for a while.

From this experience, Lotus seems to have gained the quickest tips on controlling its own power.

The next quickest was rare.

Rare has also experienced significant changes in skill points.

In addition, he always provided elaborate support as an assistant to Haruki.

It is a trick that can not be done with a clear shot, such as repelling the opponent's attack with a potato bullet as aimed.

Adjustment of ESTA is also completed later than Rare.

The most difficult adjustment this time was Seiki.

"Damn, it could have been adjusted earlier ..."

"It can't be helped, because Sky Star was the highest level."

Fire Lotus comforted Seiki with a bitter smile.

Her words are true.

Seiki, who has accelerated growth, had the highest physical level among them.

In addition, Seiki has learned a new energy attack.

Perhaps because he practiced to give his energy halfway, he often inadvertently poured his energy into the magic sword when he increased his concentration to the limit.

This is similar to the phenomenon of calling a teacher "mother" when he entered elementary school.

Switching your head is not going well and you get irritated.

As your concentration increases, you lose control.

Almost like a habit, energy flows into the magic sword.

Perhaps you have used unconscious power attacks to defeat strong enemies.

It seemed that the movement of energy in a concentrated state was smooth.

It was too smooth and overkill.

I couldn't control as if I had just raised my skill.

Seiki took a very long time to correct this.

At 5 o'clock in the evening, Haruki and others ended the battle and returned to the ground.

With the material of the Werewolf that I had defeated so far, I visited the Akane shop for “thanks” this morning.

"Ahahahaan !!"

Of course, Akane was pleased to cry at Seiki's souvenir.

"The sales of my shop have been lost!"

"No one has taken it."

Transactions are in accordance with due process.

There is no fault in Seiki.

"Every scammer says that!"

"No, no, it's your job to buy the material? And if you resell the material well, it will be profitable.

"Guggigi ..."

Although it was completely a scammer's line, justice was in Haruki.

I want Akane to focus on selling the materials I got.

"Yes, I'm asking the air team for a request."

"Hmm, to the team?"

Haruki shook her words at Akane's words.

Previously, Seiki had only once accepted a team request.

It is a request to secure hot stones from the dungeon in the middle bill.

But it could be cleared without a team.

In fact, Seiki has cleared the request alone into the middle bill.

Is it a request of this kind again?

Haruki and his colleagues today (albeit somewhat improved by today's training) remain concerned about the technical aspects.

Under such circumstances, if you accept the request and make a mistake, you may lose credibility.

Like numbering-if it's a request that anyone can do it if they have the ability, should I refuse it?

Seiki lightly dragged her chin to Akane to encourage her to go ahead.

"It seems that the only species has appeared in the Hakodate dungeon"

"The Hakodate dungeon is on the 5th floor, right?"

"that's right"

With Akane affirming, Haruki tied her lips with a difficult face.

The Hakodate Dungeon is one of the shallowest dungeons in Japan, consisting of 5 floors.

Although it is unique and different from the normal dungeon, it is not a difficult dungeon.

Haruki wondered at the request to defeat the only species that appeared in the dungeon.

Even if you don't ask an intermediate adventurer, can a local adventurer or SDF deal with it? When.

However, Seiki's question was shattered by the following Akane's words.

"The opponent is a rare species of the dungeon lord."

`` What !? ''

"Eh!"

Haruki and the lotus spelled out the words.

Rare species will appear similar to the base demons, such as Werewolf for Silver Wolf and Centipede for Gegegeji.

The only species, on the other hand, is a monster unrelated to the monster in the dungeon.

Deer monsters that once appeared on the 15th floor of the "garage dungeon" are likely to be the only species. (If there is no deer monster in "garage dungeon", that deer is confirmed as the only species.)

What they both have in common is that they are overwhelmingly stronger than the demons on that floor.

It was easy to imagine that if the main dungeon became the only species, it would be extremely difficult to defeat them, even though ordinary species would be troublesome.

"There is only one kind of dungeon Lord."

"I think it's a very rare case. It seems that you are fighting with rare and unique species, but rare and unique species are rare in the first place? な ら Once a year for ordinary adventurers It's normal to not meet. ''

Maybe that mask is calling for rare species? And Akane smiled provocatively.

It's a joke that won't be a pun.

Seiki shook his head lightly.

"So was the adventurer called to deal with the only species?"

"Well ... yes."

"Is there any chance that it will disappear if left unchecked?"

Normally, rare species and only species disappear naturally over time.

However, some rare species do not disappear.

A rare species that causes stampede.

Seiki knows it so badly.

"I don't know that, but Hakodate has decided to defeat only the rarest species."

"Is it going to disappear?"

"I don't know how long I'll wait, maybe it won't."

"You may be hurt by subjugation."

Isn't it necessary not to force things forward?

Seiki's question, but Akane shook his head.

"The usual dungeon lord is Hakodate's precious food"

"... Oh, I see."

Farmers who have lost access to agricultural equipment due to soaring fuel costs have had to reduce their acreage.

Currently, farmers who are engaged in agriculture only have the area that can be harvested manually. The area for the number of agriculture workers has been reduced to less than half compared to the time when they went by machine.

Dungeons are saving Japan's food situation, where self-sufficiency has dropped significantly.

Food from dungeon exploration saved the Japanese from famine.

In today's municipalities, dungeons support food.

Hakodate is one of the local governments.

The only appearance of the species is like food transportation has been cut off for Hakodate.

There is no other way to get rid of anything.

"By the way, what kind of monster is the normal dungeon lord who appears on Mt. Hakodate?"

"Squid squid"

"It's hard!"

Seiki finally noticed the significance of the matter and turned her face blue.

Squid is used for sashimi, dried and pickled, and even salt. It is one of the representative ingredients that have supported Japanese food.

Not being able to take one squid will have a huge impact on various Japanese foods.

In addition, the lack of squid will cause damage to those who process them.

If you defeat rare species early and replenish squid to the market, Hakodate's industry, which has survived the first stampede and started to get into orbit, could be completely collapsed!!

"I understand. I accepted that request !!"

"Okay.-Why are you so excited?"

"It's obvious? I'm going to get up to save the citizens!"

Haruki sticks out her chest.

As an adventurer, saving citizens is a natural act.

At the moment, however, Seiki's head had only an image of salt from the freshly cooked rice on top of the rice.

Akane turns his eyes on such a harsh look.

"I'm sorry if you're enthusiastic, but maybe you don't go as far as you want?"

"Hmm, what does that mean?"

"Um ----"

*

Aerial members who visited Hakodate immediately went to the Self-Defense Force Hakodate headquarters, which is the operation chamber.

The SDF Hakodate headquarters is located at the foot of Mt. Hakodate.

It was built by renovating a former high school facility at the top of Hachimanzaka.

Next to the headquarters are the former girls' school in the Meiji era and the Orthodox Church of Christ. There is also a public hall if you walk a little.

This area was famous as a tourist spot in Hakodate.

However, due to the birth of the dungeon on Mount Hakodate, the sightseeing spot is now a safe area for adventurers, not tourists.

Kagemitsu who visits the SDF Hakodate headquarters goes into the building while enduring his eyes concentrated on himself.

"I wanted to go sightseeing during peacetime."

"……Ah"

Van, walking behind Kagemitsu, nodded carelessly.

Aerial ran the distance from Sapporo to Hakodate in a whole day.

With their top strength in Sapporo, they could reach 300km in a day.

However, running over 300 kilometers over about 10 hours had accumulated considerable fatigue.

Kagemitsu and Van were fine, but the aerial members who weren't here were down at an inn located in the Yunokawa area where the hot springs were.

"Well, it would be nice to go in peacetime. Did you come on a school trip?"

"... I only remember Gotoken curry."

"You have a good meal on a school trip!"

Gotoken has also visited the Emperor and Empress of Japan. It is the most famous shop in Hokkaido since the Meiji era.

The curry at Gotoken, where the Emperor and Empress have been eaten, is now tasteless because of the effects of the first stampede.

At least seasonings will restore the traditional taste of Hokkaido, but there is no sign of a revival at this time.

Enviable. Kagemitsu shook his head to curse the happiness of others.

While having such a chat, Kagemitsu and his colleagues were put through a meeting room.

Executives of the Hakodate SDF had already gathered in the conference room.

As they enter, the gaze of executives pierces through Kagemitsu.

(Wow……)

Kagemitsu sobs in her heart as soon as she wants to go home, with a grim glance where tensions, doubts and feelings of exclusion are mixed.

"Who?"

The first to open his mouth was a bald, slightly obese man.

The man is at the top of the conference room. You can predict that he is the highest person on the scene.

Kagemitsu opens her mouth so that she does not seem to be rude.

"Aerial Kagemitsu requested by Hakodate City. This is a van. Other members are currently resting in Yunokawa."

"Oh, you guys ..."

The eyebrows of Kagemitsu rose slightly in the tone of a man.

The words were polite, but they did not feel a welcome intention.

(We should have been called ...?)

Hakodate was in danger, so he ran without a break.

Kagemitsu didn't do anything because of her physical strength, but members, including Van, felt like she was vomiting blood.

(If you think it's to help Hakodate, it's not a big deal)

Kagemitsu suppressed his emotions with mental power so that he did not appear on his face, thinking of his friends.

"Rude but you?"

"It's really rude. It's Yoshioka, the headquarters of the Hakodate Self-Defense Forces and the head of the Self-Defense Forces.

"Mr. Yoshioka. I want to tell us the only kind of information that appeared in the Hakodate dungeon."

"Why is it so"

"Why ... we came here at the request of Hakodate City. The only request from the city is to defeat the species. That is, the only defeat of the species is our job."

"It's strange. The only kind of defeat is our job."

I won't let you do anything.

The intention glanced through, and Kagemitsu became nauseous.

"Bad, this is a problem in Hakodate."

"But ..."

"There is no qualification to give the Self-Defense Force to those who cannot protect the local land with their own power! I don't think so?"

“…………”

That's not the case if you're saying that!

How comfortable would it be to scream and hit the desk with all your might?

But Yoshioka's words are very correct.

There is a Self-Defense Force to protect their land.

The SDF is mostly organized by local people.

I want to save the locals with my own power. That spirit should be stronger than the adventurer.

Also, if the SDF, which is the first to deal with any unusual circumstances, raises the white flag before it can do anything, it will be questioned not only morale but also its significance.

What are you paying for from taxes for what? When…….

"Okay, so we'll do it for you."

"I won't let you like it."

"... what?"

I couldn't understand Yoshioka's words and Kagemitsu was amazed.

"If we and the SDF hit the only species together, could this be resolved quickly?"

"It doesn't need to be. Everything is buttoned by our Self Defense Force.

“…………”

I see.

This is a true idiot.

Kagemitsu threw the saji, and Van next to it turned forward.

"... What is the life of a citizen?"

"Stop, Van"

Kanemitsu immediately faces Yoshioka, immediately stopping Van, who is about to rise.

"... change the day"

Lightly bowed, Kagemitsu pulled the van and left the conference room.
