Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?
Episode XIII: Adventurer's Department, Begin.
The first thing I felt when I woke up was the smell of disinfectant.
Just look around your head. A drip bar standing aside on white floors and walls, clean sheets, and water-colored very-flat clothing that wraps itself......
"... a hospital?
What the hell... yes! My card!
I wandered over my body and the next time I looked at the sideboard by my bed, my deck was in the drawer.
He strokes his chest down in a ho, checking each card.
For starters, the Lotus Hua, Eliza and Meir soul cards that have been lost.
Gently stroke their cards, which have been discolored to gray.
Because of my immaturity, Lost is the one that made me, but if this soul card stays, I can take it back.
"I'll bring you back soon."
While consolidating our resolve, we will look more closely at whether there are any status issues.
Then, although there was no particular change between Lotus and Eliza, Meir was getting new skills as expected.
[Race] Empusa (Meir)

-Curse people, two holes (NEW!): Deal curse wounds to the target according to their own combat power and damage taken, and then receive feedback for the amount of damage inflicted.
If you curse a person, two holes are rare rare skills that individuals who have continued to use their abnormal state skills.
I haven't found out more about that acquisition condition, but I'm told that hating hard enough to want to "kill someone even if he dies" is a trigger for mastery.
I felt sincerely sorry for letting that bright mare have that much hatred.
If you curse a person, the two holes are skills that, by their very nature, are very dangerous to lose after use.
It's a new skill because of it, but I wouldn't take it for granted to use this......
The next time I checked that the unused cards such as Suzuka, Dragonet and Lycanslope were in order, I decided to check the only Yuki card that was safe at the end, just in case.
She would definitely be safe with me until the end than all the other cards were safe...... I moved my eyes from that thought to the cards and I was accidentally stunned.

"What, this..."
A card with an illustration of a beautiful girl with dark green mesh in her brown hair. Make sure it's well written there, Yuki, over and over again.
What the hell is going on? Why is Yuki ranking up? Combat power 950? Lycanslope's growth limit should have been 800. Besides, what the hell is this skill group...?
Yuki, whom I should know well, shook herself in fear that she had become a stranger.
What the hell happened while I was passing out...?
When one was confused, the sound of Concon and Knock echoed into the room.
"... Yes?
"Excuse me.... can I sing Kitagawa?
That being said, it was a middle-aged man about forty who came into the room. He was a man with a soft face but somewhere compelling in his eyes, an adult whose spine stretched pins just because he was relative.
"Yes, I do."
"My name is Oshima. It's like this."
"... Captain?
The police notebook Oshima showed me contained the letter Captain and a photo of Oshima's face.
I'm not too familiar with the police notebook, but it looks real in a puff.
"Kitagawa, you were down at the Dungeon Mart in the Fourteenth Labyrinth of the D-Rank in Tokyo, remember?
"Uh..."
"If you like, can you just tell me in order what you remember from where you entered the labyrinth?
"... Yes, I understand"
The tone was mild, but I began to tell Oshima in turn after entering the labyrinth.
The fact that Harmeln's whistle was used to transfer to the hierarchy under attack. Other adventurers along the way...... that I met Aoki and traded cards. Having encountered Gremlin at the bottom and destroyed a smartphone, camera, or adventurer license. Being attacked by other adventurers and being told to give them all the cards.
- And “I saw the gap and used the magic card from" Metastasis "that I had hidden to escape with my life”...
As it is remembered, it will not lie or falsely, and it will not encompass and convey what has happened.
Mr. Oshima had written down my testimony as he pinched all the questions, but eventually he asked me this question at the end when I finished talking.
"... now, is that the last time?
"Yeah, that's all I remember"
Oshima-san stared at me with a difficult face, but eventually looked up to heaven when he exhaled heavily.
"Oh well... will all the mysteries be held by that raider? Oh, my God."
…… Is something wrong?
When I asked him that, Oshima gave him a slightly lost look.
"... well, it's something you'll find out soon enough, okay? As a matter of fact, the labyrinth where you were disappeared."
".................. Huh?
That labyrinth vanished...? Didn't the labyrinth once disappear? What the hell...? No way, whoever attacked me did it!?
Mr. Oshima blurred as he scratched his head against me.
"The country is already making a fuss here and there. Whatever, twenty years after the labyrinth appeared... it was the first time the labyrinth disappeared. They say foreign inquiries have arrived. It's not known to the public because it hasn't been on the news yet, but that would also be a matter of time. So Kitagawa-kun has a favor to ask..."
"Please, is it?
"Yeah. For once, as a nation and police officer, I'll hide information about you, but maybe the press will sniff you out. I don't want you to tell me anything then. It'll get in the way of the investigation."
"Oh...... ok"
"Thank you, then"
That's how Oshima walked away.
Keep yourself in bed with Dosari and look up at the blurry ceiling.
……………………………………………………………………
The labyrinth has vanished?
After all, did that killer do it? To kill me for running away from myself...?
No way...... In the first place, if you find a way to wipe out the labyrinth, you'll get all the money you need to play with for the rest of your life, and the state will wipe out any crime.
Because what the hell caused the labyrinth to disappear?
"…………………… no, I don't know"
Think for a while and surrender.
There was no way I would have answered how much I thought about it here.
Nevertheless......
"It's good to have a 'transfer' card......"
Exhale in relief.
Even with the same metastatic magic prop, instant activation is not the same with a magic card and a Harmeln whistle that needs to be blown.
If it hadn't been for the 'Metastasis' card, I would have been killed by Anubis while I was blowing Hermeln's whistle.
I'm really glad I didn't sell the 'transfer' card..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"Why didn't I sell the 'transfer' card?
For me with the Harmeln whistle, the 'Transfer' card is an unnecessary magic trick.
Though it has the advantage of being able to use it without a time lag, unlike Harmeln's whistle, I was uncomfortable while I had the magic card of 'metastasis' for the rest of my life, which I didn't really think would be raided by other adventurers.
............... oh well. I remember. Tax protection.
You will incur taxes if you sell your magic items and cards, but you will not incur taxes if you keep them without selling them.
If you cash in and buy a card for the first time when you have the card you want, you can also minimize the taxes you pay.
So I was taking the 'metastasis' magic card without selling it, that's all.
Thanks to that I was able to escape safely.
Yeah, nothing's wrong.
And yet why am I questioning the fact that I had such a 'metastasis' card?
Speaking of doubt, so is Yuki.
When did Yuki rank up for Lycanslope?
All I had was two male lycanthropes. There's no way she can rank up.
When did I get my Lycanslope card?
What happened while I was passing out? Are you forgetting something? Between when I used my 'metastasis' magic card and when I was discovered falling in a dungeon mart, something...
When my consciousness began to dive deep into the sea of memory.
"Excuse me ~ su"
Suddenly, the door to the room opened with a familiar bright voice.
As soon as that happens, the white image that was flickering in the back of my brain spreads misty.
"Good morning, seniors. How are you feeling, suss?
"Anna..."
The identity of the visitor was a beautiful redhead girl who recently became a junior. When she looked over at my body, she smiled flamboyantly.
"I don't think you're hurt. Relieved."
"Oh... you, what about school? It's still noon."
"Oh, no! My esteemed senior is in the hospital, and I'm not going to school."
I sent a snug white eye to a junior who said such a healthy thing. A short relationship, but I knew he wasn't such a cute balls.
In my suspicious glance, Anna made her tongue look like a kid with a mischievous prank.
"... Nah, actually, it's like my senior got caught up in something weird again. I just ran off. Well, it's true you were worried. Yes, this is sympathetic."
Inquire as she receives the confectionery fold she has been offering.
"You, how far do you know? Where'd you hear that from?
"Um, all we heard was that the labyrinth the seniors were diving in had vanished.... May I ask you more about it?
"I'm not letting you get away with this," her curious eyes said as she said.
"... don't tell anyone because the detective has stopped you."
"Of course. If you tell anyone, you can ask them anything."
... Anything? Oh, my God! Koitsu, let someone slip your mouth......
I gave Anna the explanation I gave Oshima-san, with a little bit of evil.
"- So, to this day,"
"... I see. So, what are the seniors going to do now, sss?
She was listening to me in a serious way, and she asked me that when she was done listening to everything.
I answer honestly with the illusion that my heart is glaring into those jewel-like blue eyes.
"- Find the killer and close this case"
"How could that be? You stopped when we said that before, didn't you?
"It's..."
To Anna's words, just a little stuck in words.
... Honest story.
When I heard about the many missing persons out there in the labyrinth, I thought they were completely other personnel.
Somehow, I've never seen my face as one of the victims, and it's not reported on TV, and somewhere in Japan, nearly a million people die every year.
Sounds pathetic, but the adventurer is self-blaming... and I didn't squirm like that and face him directly from the front.
But the real thing was the "low rank sounds like a target and it's none of my business" thin stuff.
In the end, I guess that's the essence of a human being called me.
The world is complete with itself and the people around it alone, and no matter what tragedy is happening out there, you can't take it in real life.
Unlike Anna, who tried to move to solve the case as soon as she found out.
I didn't have enough justice to put myself in danger for someone I didn't even know my face.
- But that meant, on the contrary, that you could move for yourself, your family, your friends.
Anna, Weave,... besides Ono. I'm still shallow with him, but I wasn't going to be so flirtatious that he and others could be fine at the expense of that Anubis.
Of course, I have a personal grudge.
Or, to be honest, that's 90%.
Close your eyes now and you will come back clear.
I will never forget that feeling that Meir, Eliza, feels like something important is missing from her heart every time Lianhua falls... one, one and zero again.
Fear for the person who has genuinely tried to kill himself. A strong disappointment or regret for myself that I had to run away from abandoning my people and pawning them. Despair and... hatred for the killer when he found out it was a trail, even though he said he had escaped that far.
All kinds of emotions burned my chest and I was burning myself to the point where I still wanted to run out.
We have to sanction the shitheads who cost my precious cards.
Otherwise... I don't have a face to match my people for putting my life at risk and stopping me.
I can't put such glum thoughts to good use, and when I'm in the mouth cage...
"Ma, whatever, ssss above all if the seniors have motivated me. We'll catch the killer in the hands of the Adventurers' Department!
I'm confused by Anna's sudden proclamation.
"Huh? No, I'm going to involve the Adventurer's Department..."
"What are you talking about over this period! Water odor. If you were acting alone, you'd die this time, wouldn't you?
"Mmm..."
"I'm telling you, unless you stop being an adventurer, the danger starts with us, right? And we're not going to stop being adventurers, we're not going to be solemn, sss. Then we'd rather act together as much as possible, wouldn't we, Safess?
"That's... right"
No matter how much I tell you not to dive into the labyrinth, it wouldn't make any sense if you weren't willing to ask them in person.
Then it is certain that it is safer to act together as much as possible.
Besides... it was also true that Anna was just a little happy when she told me she was going to do a killer hunt with me.
Again, even when I was strong, I was scared that they were going to kill me too...
"... thanks"
Unconsciously, words of gratitude spilled out.
"Hmm? Did you say something?
"Yes, no, it's nothing..."
"Oh, no, you just said thank you, suss."
"I thought you heard me!
"Ahahahaha!"
This is how our work as adventurers began in earnest.
