"Something that feels like Halloween."

After school.

As Ichijo and I walked through the city of Hachioji, she muttered, looking at the scenery of the city.

Following her gaze, there was an orange pumpkin head.

I see... Tomorrow is Halloween.

That meant I'd been an adventurer for a year.

Now, the day I became an adventurer comes to mind.

"If I hadn't pulled the lotuses back then, what would I have done now..."

Without knowing that Angormor was looming, I wonder if he was spending much time with the East-West Combination.

... Imagine when you greet Angormore like that, something cold is running on your back.

Once again, I think that it was the greatest luck of my life that drew Lotus.

That's because my life has changed by exactly 180 degrees.

"Somehow, I'm sorry." I've been hooked up with my own family. "

To me, who sinks into my thoughts, Ichi-san said something unusual and a little mischievous.

Besides, I shake my head and answer.

"No, don't worry about it. I'm going to change my mood, too."

Recently, I was sending a day for the Adventurer's Department to dive into the D-rank labyrinth with Mr. Ichi on his day off.

It was a celebration of the two stars I had been asked to promote.

In the beginning, it was only one time, but I was also wondering what kind of labyrinth conquest she was doing, and I decided to stay with her until I broke through the labyrinth without saying once.

I think it's better to rest my mind and body at home for an occasional holiday... but when I'm around at home, something like impatience swells up and I'm restless.

It is not a lie to change your mood, but if you are usually rubbed in the harsh environment of the C-rank labyrinth, you feel comfortable with the difficulty of the D-rank labyrinth being too easy.

In that case, it was better to dive into the labyrinth so as not to be burdened with mental hygiene.

"Hmm... but maybe I'm busy with the school labyrinth?" Are you okay? "

"Yeah, it's okay. I'm calming down a lot."

In the last two months, the measures against Angormor have been considerably improved.

Below is the Risalt from the new semester.

Hazards (50)

More than 400 million from monster drops and sales from clams from disappointing boxes. In addition, the carbuncle garnet amounted to 200 million yen, and another 200 million yen in vivier diamonds, for a total of 800 million yen.

Of these, the drops of cards sold (or bought) with Garnet will be distributed to each member, and the remaining drop items will result in a minimum amount of supplies needed to base the school.

After that, if I managed to get an Alien Class Alien Spatial Card, I would be able to stock up on supplies by the time limit... In fact, I and Anna secretly secured the Alien Class Alien Spatial Card.

The name of the card is Hesperides.

A card that can summon the Garden of Hesperides, an orchard with golden apples that are supposed to immortalize those who eat in Greek mythology.

Hesperides is not an individual name but a plural form of the names of the three nymphs born of the goddess Nyx at night.

For this reason, Hesperides are an unusual type of card in which multiple units emerge from a single card.

When it comes to Japanese monsters, are they famous for multiple cards such as scythe?

A sickle is a monster in which three skulls with different roles emerge, one for rolling the opponent, one for chopping off the opponent, and one for applying pain relieving medicine to the chopped opponent......

If a single card is three times stronger than usual, the opposite is true, but the whole thing is very weak because of the dispersed fighting power. Is it easy to understand the reverse pattern of the three-phase goddess?

Unless all three of them are killed, the only advantage is not to lose.

As a result, multiple cards are often called rank scams... but there is no problem when it comes to Hesperides.

Because they are alien spatial cards. The main body was rather a pawn, and its true value lay in the skill.

The Garden of Hesperides is an orchard owned by Hera, the wife of Zeus, where there is only one tree that produces the golden apple that makes the eaters immortal. The Hesperides are nothing but nymphs who take care of their golden apple trees.

The golden apple tree has a more protective hand, and it is the radon that is famous for having a hundred heads.

Radon has B-rank combat power and is always there to protect the golden apple tree.

Even if it is defeated, it will come back to life in a day, and even if Radon is defeated, the Garden of Hesperides will not be lost. Because the main units were Hesperides.

Golden apples have an intense attraction to intruders, and monsters and, of course, cards with masters are no exception.

The basic tactic of this card was that Hesperides would hide somewhere while Radon was dealing with intruders attracted by the golden apple.

In addition to the golden apple trees, the garden of Hesperides is also abundant in fruit trees that produce various fruits, so it can be expected as a source of food.

In other words, the Garden of Hesperides is a card that combines the defense and food sources we wanted.

By the way, it's about the golden apple, but unfortunately it's not as effective as the anecdote. Exquisitely, it suppresses aging for about a decade.

It is also a golden apple that has been dropped as a magic tool, and the golden apple that can be picked up in the garden of Hesperides has no immortality effect.

The same is true of the auspicious Amrita rain, but even if the skill has the same name as an item with effects such as rejuvenation or immortality, the skill has basically no effect such as rejuvenation.

Basically, it was because I knew that there were exceptions like Lotus, and it was definitely not ordinary.

The golden apple from the garden of Hesperides also has the effect of granting the person who ate it the "Knowing to Survive" skill for 24 hours.

However, the great thing about this apple is that it's not just a skill, it's an object created by cards.

The objects created by the cards that produce food, etc., have the property of not disappearing even if the cards are returned or exited the labyrinth.

In other words, the golden apple (fake) produced by the Garden of Hesperides can be stocked as an item that can grant the "Know Your Life" skill.

The difficulty is that it only comes at one pace a week, and after harvesting, it rotts like an ordinary apple... but there are many magic tools that don't rot.

Therefore, the golden apple (fake) was on the market there as an item that could give him the "Know Your Life" skill.

The price is one million yen. I feel that it is a little expensive, but considering that the basic purchasing class is a professional class, and that only about 50 crops can be harvested from one Hesperides garden per year, this is likely to be the case.

Hesperides was also very expensive at 3 billion due to the rising value of cross-spatial cards and the fact that golden apples (pseudo) could be sold at a fair price.

What did you do with that amount of money? Of course, it was covered by the new B-rank card that I gave out with the Treasure Tag card.

In the past month, I've got two more new B-rank cards from Treasure Tags.

The first one was obtained two weeks after dropping the arrace, Hydra.

A symbol of the Dragon, the immortal monster that fought against Hercules, it is a powerful card with immortal vitality, as the anecdote suggests, and a poison that penetrates all forms of immunity. The selling price is 2 billion yen.

The second was assigned to Sleipnir the other day after defeating the golden and silver horns.

It is the riding horse of the Lord Odin of Nordic mythology, and it is a well-known divine beast that draws the blood of the evil god Loki.

The eight legs can run freely in the air, and the anecdote tells the story of Helheim, the underworld. As a riding beast, it is the best class, and although it is an excellent card with cross-space movement skills, it is also lower in B rank, so the selling price is 600 million.

Altogether, there was a slight shortfall in purchasing 2.6 billion Hesperides, but the shortfall was taken from the proceeds of the sale of Dionysus, which had been given to Anna to buy garnet and diamonds.

Originally, the selling price of Dionysus was half a year's worth of garnets and diamonds, and I am certain that the distribution of the cost of the cards bought by garnets and members of the crew is still surplus.

That's why we have some food and other supplies, and we have secured a different world class card, so even if Angormore comes at this moment, we are at least ready, and I feel like I've made a passage...

This is not a big burden for the Adventurer's Department to hang out with Mr. Ichijo on the day off.

"That's fine... but I'll pay back this debt someday"

"You don't have to worry about it." It's not even free... I'd rather get it too much. "

Even if we dive together, I'm basically just looking backwards.

Originally, I wanted to experience the D-rank labyrinth safely, so Ichi-san promised to only do so when it seemed dangerous.

Therefore, drops and such are basically Mr. Ichijo's things, and if I helped him a little, I would get them.

As for the trampling reward, I was supposed to receive it as a coach fee, and Ichijo-san is currently proceeding smoothly without relying on me, so I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

"As for me, I think it's too cheap." It's thanks to Kitagawa's whistle that I was able to conquer the D-rank labyrinth while going to school. "

And... and Io-san peeked into my face.

”Kitagawa can teach me... but you can't really teach me if you pay me, can you?”

"Well, you know..."

I was lightly guiding Link through this labyrinth.

That's because I'm sorry to have to just follow along and get a breakthrough reward, but the biggest reason was because I noticed she was waking up to the link.

Ichi-san's emotions sometimes conveyed the card. No matter what he said, the card could move as he wanted... but it was definitely a precursor to the appearance of telepathy.

With regard to links, Ono has also been taught verbally about the concepts and how to learn them, but has not yet learned them.

Ono became an adventurer about the same time as me, but he didn't have any link talent. This is an ordinary adventurer.

Nevertheless, in a short period of less than three months, Ichijo-san had to learn telepathy on his own.

I learned telepaths for about two months, but this is my experience of overcoming the critical situation of encountering a whistling man in Hermeln, and I learned a lot about the existence of links during the tournament.

It wasn't particularly life-threatening, and it was a terrifying talent that she woke up to Link on her own, normally diving in a labyrinth.

Perhaps Mr. Ichi could have mastered telepathy without my special guidance.

Then it would have been better to teach him here and sell his gratitude.

"What's Kitagawa like as a professional?" In practical terms, you're already in the professional class, right? "

"Hmmm..."

Sure, I've been working hard to be a pro.

However, it was also true that nowadays the significance of aiming for professionalism has diminished.

The main benefit of the pro is that it is put into a labyrinth with a tax aspect and a rank of C or higher, but those benefits disappear after Angormor.

If the civilization collapses, you will not be able to collect taxes, and the door in front of the gate will be broken from the inside and you will be free to enter.

On the other hand, from the four stars, various duties increase.

Benefits disappear, obligations remain... only disadvantages.

Well, as long as you ignore that obligation, the point is that the rank system of the Four Stars or the Adventurer itself is likely to become meaningless.

Oh, but if you become a Four Star, you'll be able to turn down cards and magic items even if you go to the Alliance's shelter.

If you take a card or magic item from a professional, who will use it?

Rather, the cards you give away from the evacuees will be spinning.

And, after that, is it simply a name value?

The title of Four Stars will give people a great sense of security, and just waving the title of Four Stars Adventurer will often allow people to obey me honestly.

... well, there's no benefit to you based on that.

We have to go to the guild shelter to make the offer, and we already have a name value comparable to that of a pro.

Thinking about it, I answered.

Someday it will be, but I don't have to be a student after all.

”Hmm... well, you've already dived into the C-rank labyrinth”

That's right. But are you ready for the boss fight today?

I asked her when the labyrinth got closer.

Initially, the Lord was supposed to be in charge of me, but after seeing how well Mr. Ichijo had fought so far, she was supposed to try to do it by herself first.

Her current deck consists of the three D-ranks I lent her and the four D-ranks I've earned from this assault.

Six D-rank cards are said to be the walls to the three stars, but there is no C-rank card, and I use the drops as is except for the cards I lent, so I cannot expect any synergies between the cards.

To challenge the Lord, there is no denying the lack of power, but when it gets pinched, I can get help, and when it gets experienced, she decides to challenge herself first.

Well, I'll do my best.

... I wonder if it's okay.

Well, if I have to, I can get help, and I'm sure I can manage.

Rather, failure is a valuable experience... a gift for ascension.

With that in mind, we went into the labyrinth.
