Over The Infinite

-4-

Why have you become an adventurer?

What triggered that?

When did you aspire to be an adventurer?

What's your goal as an adventurer?

Who are your esteemed forefathers?

Do you have any adventurers you think are rivals?

What are your specialties?

Do you have a vision as a future adventurer? What does that look like?

Do you have a clan you want to belong to? What do you want from your clan?

How much time do you spend working as an adventurer, including dungeon attacks, training, and courses?

What percentage of entertainment activities outside the main business do you intend to perform?

Aren't you interested in photo albums and gravure?

What did you find hard until or after you became an adventurer? What makes you think it would have been good?

What do you think about women being adventurous?

Do you have any opinions about women adventurers seeing late weddings?

Don't you have a problem debating minors?

Are you interested in goblin meat commercials? Though I promise you a great reward.

Do you have any thoughts about the social status and rewards of adventurers?

If there are any improvements to the Adventurer's School curriculum.

I'd like to invite my second sister to dinner, but can I have an intermediary, please?

I've been asked that for a long time. [M] Something weird is mixed up, but the content is basically similar or stopping by. This is more or less the case.

They can be a variety of people, acquaintances in the family, guild officials, and strange adventurers. There is also a lot of coverage of magazines and television reporters.

Of course, that's not what I'm here for. When I was a kid, it was just an aside from my parents', most recently my oldest sister's interview. Sometimes some people have a second sister purpose, but it is a complete shutout.

... Well, anyway, I mean, nobody comes near me as the main dish.

"Sorry, I let you take the time where you're busy..."

"No, because I'm free compared to your sister"

The same goes for a woman's magazine reporter sitting in front of her.

You look young, but you don't know your actual age. You look convinced when you say you're my age.

I'm pretty sure it's a rush out of nervousness. I'm more used to being interviewed and calmer.

The place to use in these interviews is basically a labyrinth section or a coffee shop near my parents' house. Coffee shop near the guild today, using a deep box seat.

The coverage is about the current imminent Infinite Corridor 100 layer attack. Naturally, it's not like I'm supposed to answer. He's my sister's understudy who ran away from the interview.

Even after my debut as an adventurer, my sister's activities are too glamorous and all that coverage.

Which attacks first, < Ark Sabre > or < Meteor Knights >? It seems to be the spirit of asking the intentions besides Laurent and Glenn, who usually appear on the table as representatives.

It seems that no one will respond to the interview, and it is your sister who finally made contact with the person involved, and the understudy is me. It happens all the time.

Clan masters may be refused interviews, even by submasters, clan managers, and dedicated clerks.... the top tier of the top clan has too many troublemakers.

By the way, no matter how busy you are, the nature of the adventurer's profession means that her sister's schedule is stuck without gaps.

The real interviewee is still in the hobby drive, so I'm a sacrifice.

... I know it stinks because it's the same thing they always ask me, but I don't want you to use my sister as a shield. I'm weak because I'm weak.

"Even so, there's very little I can answer about front-line matters..."

"The interview request must have been passed on to the person, but have you heard anything?

… message.

Answer me, "I'll do my best."

I spoke just before I got here, my sister's proper message turns my head.

In the beginning, I had prepared various answers, but at some point I stopped even taking care of the upper edge.

Though a surrogate, he seems better than any other clan executive who just plays against him, but still to this extent.

"No, especially... why don't you just write something down that's not obvious? I don't think it's a problem if you just scrutinize it before posting it."

"I knew it was like that...... you don't even look good for this kind of coverage because you're not a full-time entertainer"

"The top earns more than enough just for the job..."

Many adventurers make money from their entertainment activities, except when they become frontline members of the top clan.

You can earn more than enough from your strength alone, so you don't need to take popularity in that respect. Popular business, but popularity is not mandatory.

Naturally, there are some fans, but they still became fans when they saw themselves as adventurers, and often they don't want a lot of media exposure. The habit, occasional appearances at events, is overwhelming. I feel the irrationality of the world.

"I used to be on TV a lot. As a bully on a variety show."

"Uh, I've seen it, too. I can't imagine it since we were in battle, but he's a pretty guy, isn't he?"

It was generally the reaction of the vegetables that was uke. He didn't like it and stopped being on TV.

By the way, my second sister can never star in a different way. I'm too scared of happenings.

"I guess I couldn't have planned it..."

"It's a busy time. It can be difficult to get through the manager."

"Actually, it was after they already said no... weak magazines like ours are tough, aren't they? If there seems to be a lack of response after a few more visits, I will return it to the editor."

I think that's the right answer. Except it's a special cone, but there won't be anything like that for a new reporter.

Since very little information has been released to the public since the seventy-first layer of the infinite corridor in the first place, it should become an unusual opinion. I don't know much either.

It would be a tragedy if, as a result, everyone were to bury paper with a comment saying 'I will do my best'. I can be a legend in a way.

"So what about Mr. Crochet's recent developments, etc? Do you have any interesting stories or anything?

"Am I...?

"They're working pretty hard, aren't they? My nose is high as a former classmate."

"Huh?"

Shit. I got a weird voice.

... what? Classmates?

"I knew you didn't remember, did you? I was with you in the Adventurer's School class. of a year."

"Su, excuse me"

That's weird. I was basically with all the party members, but I should know a lot about the classmate position...

"No, it's not strange to be forgotten. I dropped out early and transferred to a general education school."

"Ah."

Are you a drop-out...... Speaking of which, some of my classmates were like that.

Adventurers' schools basically don't leave school because of poor grades. Although graduation is not possible, there is only a minimum of three years for school attendance, so you can stay for as many years as you want.

Leaving school in that way are the ones who cut themselves loose as adventurers.

I'm not fit to be an adventurer. I can't stand the pain. Death broke my heart. Any reason. A small percentage, but a handful of people quit that way.

It's a world full of pain to aspire to just admire. Sometimes aptitude and enthusiasm alone can't help it. I can't say that's wrong.

"I died a terrible way right after school, and ever since, I've been cowardly about fighting. I was scared, scared, I couldn't help it, and I had to give up. So you think it's awesome just because you can go on, right? It's just really awesome to be able to debut."

I'd say that's not true... but I guess it's a word I shouldn't say to this guy.

For once, I even went to a specialized school. I gave up on that, so I could make a proper adventurer's debut. It's not something I can say.

"So my admiration for adventurers grew stronger, and when I realized it, I went on to do this job. I'm halfway through my education, and I'm an apprentice at a weak small company."

Getting a job that has something to do with not being able to give up would also be a legitimate path.

I look cleaner than the people who have been in the lower ranks for years just debating.

By the way, I've never read this magazine.

"Well... there are some amazing people near the sync, and I'm plain compared to those people."

"This is more of a pure interest than a reporter. I don't know if I can do it in the article, but can I ask you a lot about Mr. Crochet?

"Ah...... yeah, yes"

Am I being interviewed about myself now, not besides?... Sometimes it's unusual.

"So let's start with... well, what time did you start aspiring to be an adventurer?

-1 -

Since when did you aspire to be an adventurer?

That's a question I've never been asked countless times, and I have trouble answering.

It's hard to make that clear from when.

I already have an environment around me when I feel like it, and my exemplary parents and sisters are on the adventurer's path.

My only mother has been a full-time housewife since I was born, but she's still a former adventurer, a celebrity as rare as a stranger if she's from a labyrinth city.

The house is full of adventurers. The visiting acquaintance is also an adventurer or an associate, and everyone who helps is a side adventurer. A fighting butler and a maid.

I have everything I need to go for it. I honestly thought it was natural to be born and raised in such an environment to aspire to nature and adventurers.

When I was young, I didn't even suspect that I would be such an adventurer that my parents couldn't beat me in the future.

But as I grew up and learned about things, I knew that the goal was at the top of it all too high. Like your sister, she didn't even have the talent to just push straight.

Suitability as an adventurer meets above standard. Teachers and friends say mouth to mouth that you can be more than a crowd. In the future, he said it was a good quality to eat in this profession.

I can do anything small thanks to the peculiar gift I was born with.

Just hold this gift and you can get started with a huge advantage as an adventurer.

But that's never enough to get to the goal. There's a wall of separation there, and I don't have enough talent to go beyond it.

Ironically, what made me realize that was the power of a gift that could do anything.

"It's a very unusual gift."

That's what the Dungeon Master I met at a young age said.

I don't have much of a face anymore, but when I was a little girl, I used to come to my house often and make some kind of joke with my parents.

He didn't show his face as a newcomer's celebration at the end of June, but he barely even had much conversation just with his face.

When I was a kid, I didn't really understand things, and I thought I was the neighbor's brother about the Dungeon Master.

I thought that maybe the adventurer or his associate would come to the house, to a certain extent, so even when I heard the words, I took them to that extent.

My gift is called "appearance imitation."

You can force the action skills you see and understand to be exercised even before they reach mastery. A versatile skill in a way. Its a powerful gift version.

Although there were several confirmed expressions of "appearance imitation" as a skill, it seems that I am the first case in the gift. That remains the same now.

I don't really understand the difference between people with the power they have from birth, but they're on their own for now.

Even so, the effect of this "look imitation" was to keep me away from being truly one-of-a-kind.

The effect is imitation, as the name suggests.

Activation skill accuracy depends on my own skill, and I can't imitate skills that are too advanced compared to my skill, but I can still activate most action skills.

It's quite a poor phase to compare, but even your sister's "Meteor Surf" can be imitated.

However, even if I said I could use it, I never got it.

This is just a confusion that you are forced to start something that will be activated after it has become somewhat proficient and usable. It's a pre-mature substitute.

It is useful for determining how proficient you are and how much longer you will be able to use it properly, but in such a state it is very unavailable in action.

The fact that you can actually experience it is easy to remember the essence of your skills with your own body. In other words, the trick is easy to grasp. So learning is much more efficient than acquiring new skills in a true sense. I can't master it like a skill orb, but I can handle it extensively as much as I can use something that is not suitable at that point.

But even with that grace, my growth was mediocre.

Even if you train to make the skills that seem right for you, you don't get busy.

In the end, most skills remain out of the realm of imitation, even when it comes to the stage of debating as an adventurer. The only thing you can be proud of is the Mirage Steps.

Perhaps I have no talent. My goal as an adventurer is nothing short of what my parents and sisters have.

I sometimes mourn that even my second sister is not suitable for adventurers, but I even look dazzled by that talent.... No, I don't want it if they want it. I'm ashamed to death.

Anyway, I am quite talented or somewhat brilliant. With the benefit of "Simulation of Appearances," I can only finally get there.

Only then did I give up the spear I started admiring my sister. Because then I understood I would never be enemies.

I can do anything. But everything is degraded or less. It's hard for me to be at the top of the adventurer's world like that. You won't be able to be a leader in any particular field.

My parents don't want me to be an adventurer. My sister looked happy when she said I was going to be an adventurer, but she wouldn't hold back if she gave up.

It's not that I don't expect it or anything, it's simply because this profession is harsh.

I don't want them to feel the same way because they know who they are. I also answer no if my child asks me if it is a recommended profession.

But still, I didn't have a choice to give up this path.

The road had been going on for a long time, and I walked it without realizing it. It's a long way from here.

There are countless other professions besides adventurers. Unlike the outside world just to listen, labyrinth cities are wealthy. If that's just what you eat, you can live with whatever you do.

There are tough sides to people coming from the outside, but it's still a better life than staying out there.

Plus I'm from this city, and my parents are among the top millionaires. I can spend some time not working if I don't care about my physical appearance.

But that's what my parents ended up getting, and that's what they won. We're just being given it.

I was proud of my parents and sister's fame as a child, but I realized it wasn't meant for me.

Since when did you feel like you wanted what you got yourself?

It doesn't mean what you want. I wish that was the thing I won with my own hands.

I wanted something just for me, something I could be so proud of.

My goal as an adventurer remains the same. It's so tall that I can't see it in the sumptuous, I'm not going to change that even if it never arrives.

I don't care if you're not talented. Because there's only one road, and we have to stop or go.

So at least I wanted something just for me.

"Aren't you going to join Asha's celebration?

"... Dungeon Master"

The party was held that day because your sisters had not updated the Infinite Corridor Strategy Layer in a long time.

I'm allowed to be accompanied by my family and associates, but I left a message alone at home without participating in it, and that's where the organizers showed up. Dungeon Master.

"It's just family, and it's a little bit like stepping into something like an important hunk of confidentiality..."

The venue is the Lords' Palace, which is usually impossible to set foot in. I don't even know where it is, it's just the heart of a labyrinth city.

In the sense of contraindication, it can be said that it is even superior to the Four Shrines Palace, where the sub-gods live.

"There was Saloria and Michael."

"Saro, I don't think your sister or Michael is just thinking about anything."

Maybe it's about the extent to which I went because they called me. So, you get nervous and pull shivers ahead of the call.

"Well, it's not a big place, so you might be disappointed when you see it"

"In the sense of a dungeon master, yes. But I don't think most ordinary people would accept that"

"No, no, seriously, it's no big deal. I've been using the Lords' Palace since I was poor, so this mansion is better."

I can't imagine a time of poverty in a labyrinth city when you say that.

According to the story, it was about twenty years ago at best, but there was no such remnants when I was born.

In this sense, is it important cultural property that remains as it was at the time?... ruins?

"Originally it was around this mansion, but the first time I saw it from the outside, I freaked out too much with the poor minister. I've missed you a lot more."

That kind of dungeon master is an uncle who talks back in time...... he just looks like his brother. Many people won't believe this guy when he says he's the greatest in this city.

As an official position I guess the top is the lord, but the top man in the city's operations is the dungeon master. I also hear that most of his work as lord is on his behalf.

"Why? I don't even celebrate your sister. What's wrong with your bad sister? I'm in a good mood today, so I'm going to talk to Grandma."

It's not like we're not celebrating. Before I left home, I gave you a set of extreme pandas.

... It's true that I don't take it personally.

"Er. I mean, it's been a little stretchy lately."

"... you're talking about" Simulation of Appearances ""

…………

Wow. I was told in one shot. It's like I was putting around in advance.... Well, I guess I was putting it on.

"I saw that when you were a kid, and I thought one day that day would come. It was a lot quicker than I expected."

"... you can't even imitate it, can you?"

"It's easy to get the wrong idea because you can use it seriously, but that's just the trigger. It just makes it easier to take the first step."

I know that. It made me understand even though I didn't like it while I was using it consciously.

"Does it mean you don't have talent even if it triggers you?"

"You don't, do you?

"Ooh..."

I came by surprise. I just didn't expect them to say this so clearly. It's tight.

I want you to wrap some more in Oblate because I'm about to be consulted.

"Well, I think it would be nice to hear you say it a little bit more gently."

"Being talented is just like me. That's an odd encounter. Nakarma."

"... Huh?

What are you talking about?

I don't stand out and do any activities, but I know that Dungeon Master is the one who is at the extreme of being an adventurer. I can't believe that's not talented......

"What's the joke?

"I'm not kidding. I have no talent for adventurers. When it comes to fighting, when it comes to the use of skills, and finally, when it comes to politics, I'm nothing but vegetarian. I'm not a legend of mysterious ancient martial arts."

"You have no idea what you're talking about."

Not the words of the man who created this city.

"Well, I'll ask you the other way, but what's your talent?"

"Uh... I can't say all about it, like physical ability, easy to remember skills, excellent tactical eye,... any novel ideas after that...?

"Then I have nothing. In that way, you're more talented than I am."

The Dungeon Master's words are clueless. It's hard to grasp the sincerity of being floating.

Because it wouldn't mean what words mean... is it like word play or some kind of philosophy?

"I think I doubt it, but I mean it as it is.... In short, you don't need talent to do adventurers. I've never done this before, but you don't have to be about me to catch up."

"Are you serious?

"Seriously. I'm an ordinary man. But at the moment, if it's about your sister, it'll twist lightly."

Then how the hell did you get there? Is it also a trick or a backwash?

"Then let's teach Crochet, the same ordinary person, one trick. Well, it's like knowing.... For example, this is how you take a step forward, right?

"Yes."

The Dungeon Master just took a normal step. Also, there is no behavior to watch out for.

"If you're a talented guy, you take two or three steps in between these steps. Arshelia could be about ten steps ahead. A guy like me or you who's not talented is a step.... but this means that even if there's a difference in distance, you've moved on."

He said, "That's it."

"Don't leave me."

Then you can't.

"The problem here is time. How many steps can you take within your lifetime and active duty? Normally, any job has a time limit. Especially if the adventurer is a manual labourer, it will be a short time to be active."

That's right. If I lived normally, I would be able to do anything. There are restrictions at times. When it comes to full season, it's a shame.

But that's a story outside the labyrinth city, and that doesn't apply in this city...

"If there's such a limitation, a talented guy for everything is far in his favor. Normal people don't win."

"... there's no time limit for labyrinth city adventurers"

"Exactly. We're always in full swing. I can keep walking as long as I want. I don't know how far, but I can go. I'm the embodiment of that."

If, as the Dungeon Master put it, you don't have the talent... you've even built up that step of the way.

Too long, dazzling distance.

"Aasheria just took ten steps, but even he would have stopped. All you have to do is keep walking."

"... that way we can catch up?

"No, you don't know that. You may stop, or Arshelia may not stop like a roving fish. The strides are different, then you'll never catch up."

It's better to be talented, but that's not absolute.

"There is absolutely nothing in things. It's not something I can guarantee. But it's the other way around."

"There's no guarantee we won't catch up"

"Exactly. For us, talent is not an absolute advantage."

If we're talking about possibilities, it's impossible to be 100%. I can see that. That was originally an airborne theory on the desk, not from the side that was actually poked at 0.1%.

Whatever they say, 'Good luck and effort because you have about 0.1% chance of winning,' you'll stick it down as a joke.

... unless it's the person who made it happen to say it in front of you.

"In the first place, even if you're going to be the same adventurer, you and Arshelia are not on the same path. The paths are individual for each person, with different distances for each goal. You can't compare them."

"The goal is an infinite corridor attack..."

"That's the goal of an entire labyrinth city adventurer, apart from personal ones. Decide for yourself where the goal is. You can walk until you're convinced, and when you're satisfied, it's over. As far as I'm concerned, I'd be happy to move on."

Probably not something to compare in the first place, although being nearby is really comparable.

You don't have to be talented.

"I don't know what to do with the lack of talent in itself, so it just seems like I ended up disorienting the problem... but it got a little easier"

"It helps if you stay well deviated there. I haven't solved it myself."

The point is my goal, the statue of the adventurer, was too vague.

Not only do I want to be like my parents and sister, I guess I should clearly find my own goal.

In that regard, the second sister...... Sister Salo is on her own path....... not helpful.

-2 -

At that time, it was a normal school I went to.

Those who have decided to become adventurers since childhood are the best shortcuts to entering the preschool of the recently established Adventurer School, perhaps because they were still lost at the time of enrollment.

As we looked into later, even when it comes to the early childhood department of Adventurer's School, it doesn't seem to be much different from a normal school just because it incorporates a somewhat specialized curriculum.

So if you think about a friend you met at school, you think this might have been the right thing to do.

I still met Carolina partying today at a time when I was nearing graduation and preparing to enter Adventurer School.

While the path is the same, the most important factor that made me friends was that my parents were adventurers and my three older brothers were also adventurous aspirations.

By the way, currently her three brothers are idle adventurers enough to have a chase. I feel isolated between my brothers and sisters in a different way from ours.

"I'm going for it, too. I'm going to take the Adventurer School home exam without going up to secondary school."

If the paths are the same, there are more opportunities to talk to nature.

There are not so many people going to Adventurers School without going to secondary school, so briefings and so on were also attended together.

And the other one.

"It's tin castle white. Greetings."

"Hey, Roosu...?

One day, she suddenly appeared just like us, aspiring to an adventurer school, and even more so, the family was the owner of a similar family, an adventurer.

"What is Tin Castle... of a branch of the Ground Spiritual Hospital?

"... how do you know that?

"No, because it's the oldest ginseng with the last name of our labyrinth city. So is Carolina's house."

There are not so many family names in labyrinth cities. Regardless of the recent increase in the number of emerging family names, I know the name position that has been around for a long time.

Even if not, those who know the Kanji surname for special treatment will know.

"My house is not as good as my house in Crochet."

Carolina says so, but even the Graves are no different from ours.

Well, I guess if you say we're from the right place because our parents are parents, they're both only about a decade old at best.

... The Royal Orendia has been around for over 700 years, so if you're outside the labyrinth city, it's history to the point of being laughed at with your nose.

Instead, this kid might be better off if it's just his personality.

"Tin Castle... I guess the lineage that leads to the subgods is more correct"

"We split up. The only thing great is the witch in the main house."

When I say split up, it's just split up in my parents' generation. I'm pretty sure this kid is also a relative of the Witch of the Four Gods.

"I realized I was more amazing than that."

"Hey, what?

"We are all 'Lo'"

"............ what?

If you ask me, they all have 'b' in their names... I wonder what's wrong with that.

"Crochet, so Crochet, Carolina, so Caro, I'm Shiro because I'm white. Finish, Pi! No."

"Honey... Oh, you mean your nickname? I don't think so..."

What, this tension.

But I guess you don't really call it crochet in crochet. Maybe a little fresh.

"... Whatever's black and white, what's caro? Calories?"

"You look fat. I'm not black, either."

... but white is white as the name suggests. Her hair and clothes are white.

"Then let's attack all of our parties in this direction."

"... what?

Such a good clueless white...... party shatteringly formed to match Shiro's Nori. My nickname was finally decided.

My nickname was meant to be used only within my buddies, but it's completely settled and now it's just crooked from my sisters.

And Shiloh's policy of attacking in this direction will be realized, and we will assemble in six "Lo".... which one is it?

"Bye. I came early to find a party member. I'm great."

Whether it was for you, or coincidence, it was also still 'Lo' that Ciro brought you as a candidate for party membership shortly after you entered Adventurer's School.

"Nice to meet you..."

"What..."

"...... Ro"

Neither do we, but I'm confused if they brought us here.

The resulting members are…….

Cro at Crochet Growentina.

Caro at Carolina Graves.

Shiro in the white of Tin Castle.

Melo at Melodia Beare.

Tyrol Lazen and Tyrol.

Lolo in Lolo Eisandaria.

It is brilliantly just 'b'.

It's Tyro, but it's Tyro, and I don't know what Lolo is, but it's Ciro's character that pushes him through hard as he is.

And the proposed team name is' 66 'because' b 'is six. It feels like I don't care anymore. Isn't it "67" because Lolo's "Lo" overlaps? When I ask him if he can't do it with "6x6," he says it can't because it's obscene... Shiro is an idiot.

I didn't hold him that far, and I didn't have an alternative, so I decided on our team name as it was. As a matter of fact, my registered name remains' 66 '.

"Well, Crowe's the leader"

"... what?

You collected Shilo, and I'm the leader?

The protest was also unanimous with everyone but me in the phrase 'I don't think it's a good idea to leave it to Shiro' released from Kahlo.

The new members brought in are also united, and nodding yeah to Shilo.... He's aware of his assessment.

... Well, this is how we partied to set aside how we got together, how we were pushed to lead, and how we treated Shiro.

He was a member that Ciro had found for weird reasons, but he went surprisingly well with it when he started teaming up.

Positions in combat are also well balanced.

I'm a guerrilla and scout, an avant-garde caro, a restorative melo, a middle-guard backed tyro, and a high-fired rear guard lolo.

Only Shiro is unclassifiable and takes a giant mole and storms around. It is a stronger type to leave it alone.

Instead of jumping through and having no strong parts, it moves at a higher average point and has no holes. I can definitely give above average score, but not any more. It was such a party.

Few failures either. Even if the party is ever half-baked, the next thing you know, you can use it to get good results.

As a student, it would be the bottom tier of the graduation exam trial that you could really call a failure.

First time, well... I can't help it. It took me a while to get back on my feet and work out, but if you're an adventurer, it's a problem.

Fatal is its retry. We were too cautious to attack until the third year of graduation as the majority of our members completed their attack.

And February, near graduation, when I was fully prepared to try. The trial itself could be attacked.

But only five of them stood after defeating Minotaur.... Melo died in battle.

It's almost like an accident because of the result of beating too many stone bridges and carefully challenging them.

That was the beginning of the kettle, and the week after we were setting it as a spare day, we were all cleared but wiped out. It took us all until May to attack with a weird losing habit.

After three years of attendance, schools can graduate at any time as long as they have the required credits and a track record of trial strategy, but few adventurers make their debut in June.

Adventurer School graduates are mostly debuts in April, and rookie fights scheduled for the end of June will be difficult to schedule.

So I had the option of staying until March without graduating, but we chose to graduate. There were also reasons for being hard, but the biggest reason is the tuition.

We have no problem, but not everyone has a wealthy family. Especially in the case of Chilo, where the parents are divorced, the truth is that they want to avoid wasted expenses.

This is not the kind of thing you simply have to camp for. Unilateral lending to colleagues who will be working with us in the future can create cracks.

Because if you meditate on the part of graduating out of season, there's nothing else wrong with it.

The graduation ceremony in May, which was not a formal time, was small, and only us and the teacher were present.

Melo was crying that he was blaming himself, but none of us would pursue that failure. Reflection is necessary, and we have overcome it.

"I'm so sorry. I was then..."

After graduation, I rarely became two with Melo, and even then she was depressed.

She's a crybaby and a coward, but she has a strong core. It's the first time in three years we've dragged each other as long as this one.

"That's enough. Nobody thinks it's Melo's fault."

"But..."

"Stop.... maybe Melo knows too. We must have made the same mistake somewhere else."

"It's..."

We're all somewhere alike, even though our personalities are falling apart.

I have a family that is successful as an adventurer, and they are quite apt but not enough to call themselves good, and they all have complexes to themselves like that.

And maybe we're also giving up somewhere that we can't be top notch.

We know what we're thinking because we're like each other. That failure is a failure that we all assumed could happen in the future.

"Maybe that happens to overlap with graduation and Melo feels responsible, but that's probably necessary in itself, and we got over it. You don't have to repeat the same thing."

The words that the Dungeon Master told me then are now stretching heavily. Until then, I may not have understood one thing.

"Adventurers can fail. You can die. That is allowed. Time doesn't bind us."

The important thing is not to fail, but to get back on your feet later.

The important thing is not to stop walking.

"So if we don't even stop walking, we can go as far as we want... Nah, I was told before"

"... to your sister?

"No, different people. … maybe the most unwilling person in the Labyrinth City."

I haven't swallowed up that word yet. I know what you mean, but it doesn't come with a real feeling.

So it fails like this one and stops. You're a party leader, so I'm the best person not to stop.

What I couldn't do was reflect on this biggest problem. I guess the stagnation that followed in three, four, and May is the price for it.

"Fail or fall, let's not frustrate, let's not give up, let's get up and go"

And that must be the adventurer we're after.

I was starting to feel that way, angrily.

-3-

The June debut means there is still less synchronization.

Debate courses in April, which will be conducted using dedicated facilities, were also held in the Guild Hall room.

Slowly, slowly, but never stop.

I started thinking about being there, Tuna. I met you guys. Even the plain child's presence is brilliantly sumptuous.

Me, Shilo and Melo, Caro, Tyro and Lolo. The rookie battle that competed split was also still defeated.

Definitely unprepared. But Tuna, who had no more preparation period than that, made me realize that I had even forgotten my attitude about winning after watching your game. It seems I wasn't conscious yet.

And apart from that, I understood the difference in the world from them.

I live in the same kind of world as my sisters. It is a presence that cannot be imitated by ordinary people and is crushed by inferiority when involved without readiness.

That world is not our way of walking. You can't go wrong with that. Because you're going to stagnate by stepping off your feet.

We just have to get there eventually.

... and present.

I was firmly intent on working hard, and I was trapped in an unprecedented sense of impatience.

"I really want to rush the promotion"

This fact is too shocking and unacceptable.

Unfortunately, I am the only one who is disturbed by a situation that I am not comfortable with.

"Um... I think we're pretty early. At a level that is proud of itself. It's amazing from your brothers - Carolina can be complimented. Eh heh."

"Caro's Ciscon brothers praise you for anything."

"No, I still think it's too soon,"

They are all three Ciscons of Betty, so even a few things are a betty compliment. It would feel good to be surrounded by three idols. Maiden gay.

Well... as Karo said, we're moving up pretty fast. This is a little unexpected, I know that.

I'm not likely to make it to six months, which is your sister's promotion pace, but I still don't expect to be able to get up to intermediate sooner than after a year of debut.

"Hey, do you care about Watanabe?

"No, I'm just not trying to catch up with you guys, Tuna. That pace is a little too unscrupulous."

"Right. As far as I'm concerned, I was wondering if it might be a little slower..." "I'm sorry. Rejected" "... I think..."

If it's true, I don't mind Melo saying it at a relaxing pace, but I can't even say it at all.

"You're the one who's in a hurry, Panda."

"Panda?"

Caro doesn't seem to understand, but Shiro is always right.

"... Really? I don't want to lose to pandas, no matter how much."

"Uh, three mysterious pandas that debuted the other day...... but why do you rival pandas? Speaking of which, you were there when you were in the water bath, weren't you?

Mikael is particularly irrelevant in this case.

"Arr, because one is Cro's ex-pet"

"............ what?

You don't understand that, do you? Everyone floats the hatena mark except Shiro, as well as Kalo.

"... an array that used to be in the garden of Crowe's house?

"Yes, Michael."

... Yes, it is Michael I am in a hurry right now.

I debuted three months later than we did, and the other day, I had a report that I had been promoted from him to E +.

Tuna, with you guys, it won't get to the shortest record update, but if it stays this way, I'll meet intermediate promotion conditions at a faster pace than your sister.

It will take some time for the exam to be issued, so I won't be completing the promotion exam in December... but I will be completing it by the next March.

And that also means being unplugged by a pet... no matter how much the average person's consciousness, just the pride of his former owner doesn't allow it.

"If possible, within the year... If you pass the exam by mid-December, you'll be able to make it to the critical ceremony..."

"Hey, wait a minute, Cro, what are you talking about? If you can't."

... Was Karo's promotion exam really about earning a prescribed amount of GP?

As long as it's simple and enviable as the exam content, it's going to take a lot of time. It's tough for a short time... But if you can't...

"Um... I've had a lot of part-time jobs since mid-December, so I thought I'd take a break from the Dungeon Attack itself..."

"... Tyro is a part-timer again?

"Unlike Crowe's, the house is hard for my brothers to earn their tuition... they have a lot of expensive part-time jobs at the end of the year"

"Oh, I've already run away from home..."

I have the impression that Tyro always works part-time, but I can't even blame him because of unavoidable circumstances.

If this is causing a fatal problem in our activities as adventurers, we have to take action, but rather, we're at a faster pace, so it would be Wagamama to complain about this.

... leaving aside the fact that he also seems to like to do various jobs on a part-time basis.

"It seems that from the end of the year to the beginning of the year I will also be busily killed with the help of my parents. Tuya officially entered the Four Shrines and became a witch."

"That's Ciro, isn't it? I mean, I became that kid's goddess witch. It was an empty seat."

The last time I saw you, the god of the earth told me you had rice balls.

"What's that?"

Shit, I'm going to move on to talking about Shiro like this. I don't care now about the story of a sub-god that has nothing to do with anything other than Shiloh.

"And anyway, I don't want to lose to Michael."

"Mama. In the meantime, it's only me and Ciro's exams, and it's not too late for them to come up with all the questions. I mean for March. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."

"March..."

I wonder if that's the most realistic thing. Still early...... sync with Michael?

I'm not a solo, so I'm not the only one who gets promoted... I mean, my exam didn't come out in the first place.

... if you don't make it to March or something... no, no, don't be weak. What do you do when you lose to a panda? Even if you feel like a normal person, you don't want to lose.

... Yeah, is my rival Michael?

"Well, that's good for today, isn't it, Cro?... Lolo got it?

"... n"

I haven't talked about anything, but Lolo was listening to me, too.

"Ugh... wow, great"

No. I really don't have a hand in the promotion mechanism that makes me passive. There's no point in roaring here.

Tuna, if it's a special event like you guys and it's a promotion... no, no, no, no, they can't break through even if they give you a critical exam.

"Slowly, slowly, but not frustrated, not giving up... right? Cro."

"Melo......"

When I heard Melo say it calmly, I felt the rush disappear just a little.

Or when Melo tells me that, I can't say it back.

"Well, we decided to go at our pace. Hold on, Leader."

"... sorry, a little disturbed"

I still can't count on you, but I'm a party leader. Don't disturb the panda with something that seems to beat it.

At the very least, I have to be inside this party.

"If you work hard like that, we can join the Knights of Meteors."

"Huh?"

Is that it? That should be my path, not that of the team...

"It's a corner, so let's get this straight. We all get promoted and join the < Meteor Knights > team. Who doesn't like it?

"... not here"

I kept my mouth shut the whole time. Lolo replied and everyone nodded.

... You had a meeting ahead of time.

"Well, our inevitable goal is to join the Knights of Meteors. Now it's not just Chrome."

< Meteor Knights > is one of the top ranks, but it's not always only beneficial to belong.

There are restrictions on joining the group, and it is also a matter of not being allowed in immediately. If you belong to a clan, you can also get backups, so it's normal to compromise somewhere and belong to a clan.

Once in the clan, nature and party composition also need to be reviewed. So I thought this party would be over if someone belonged to the clan...

... even though we don't all need to hang out.

"... ha-ha, isn't Kalo better suited for leaders after all?

"No, Chro, it's gonna be tough watching you."

I was blessed with a good party.

The pace has been pretty high since the debut, but it's plain, and I can't even stand out. I also don't have the ability to be praised at will.

But this is my party.

-5-

"I see... I've heard some interesting stories inside"

"As for the adventurer's experience, I don't think it's very interesting."

For the general public, a fancy story like yours would be better received.

"No, I don't... It was interesting... especially where we see the panda as a rival."

"Right there."

I accidentally forgot how to behave and went into it, but they're laughing, too, okay?

"There's not that much information gathered at the moment, but that team is amazing inside."

"As a team... there are even genius kids in the Intelligence Agency."

"That's true, too, but the pandas are pretty good. That's the only physical ability I can't compare to a human being, but Michael... is that what you mean by moving as an adventurer? Let the experts say he stands better than a bad intermediate rank"

Really......

Recent videos showed me, but for some reason I was concerned about the fact that Michael was fighting and that there were three pandas, and that Lirica and the others wore panda ears, so I didn't notice.

When I was at our place, I used to watch videos, but was it also done in research then?

"And at the moment, we're deliberating on an unofficial record, but Mr. Mikael is the youngest tentative title holder to complete the trial"

"What? Uh, I thought Mikael was about the same as Michael..."

"That's the main reason you're deliberating. October seems to be her birthday, but Mikael was two years old at the time of the trial."

"To, two years old?

I was pretty small when Michael was two...... Does that mean it's gonna be about twice as big since then?

... Is that really a panda? You're going to be bigger than the Big Boss, who is said to be the most powerful enemy of the ten layers of the infinite corridor...

"Well, it's half a joke about pandas"

"I'm kidding..."

Isn't this guy already forgetting to cover or something?

"The most interesting part is that adventurers don't need talent."

"Dungeon Master's?

"Yes, we can go anywhere if we don't give up, if we don't frustrate, if we keep moving forward.... I think so. If you're a labyrinth city adventurer, that's certainly right."

... Speaking of which, this guy is a drop-out. Maybe it was a less than good topic.

"However, let me tell you from who I've given up, I think the way that mind is is also talented again"

"Don't give up?

"... I broke early. Many others are heartbroken by the baptism of trials. Even after the debut, there are a large number of people who give up going forward even if they can't get up to intermediate, can't get beyond the thirty-one or fifty-first walls of the infinite corridor, or won't give up adventurer operations. Not everyone can remain strong."

Mind problems are delicate.

There are things that can't be helped even if you know. A lot of people like that, and those in front of them are exactly what they are.

"So I think that attitude that you can swallow your weakness and move forward is honorable"

"I have an environment… because I have a familiar goal of home and family… and I have members who walk in the same way"

"I think it's important to include those things. My ex-party broke down brilliantly in the air. We haven't seen each other since we broke up."

I was blessed with my family. blessed with the environment. And I was blessed with party members as well.

A team that's just like me and has no outstanding talent, but still walks with me with the same gaze.

Party members are friends who spend time together and fight, so it doesn't have to be their own power, but ours.

This is our only power, isn't it something I once asked for?

I don't know if I'm right. It's not something I'm sure I can answer to.

But I hope so.

"This looks like you can expect to be active in the future. I'll be glad to shut out the rest of the coverage when you get advanced and get my exclusive coverage."

"I guess that's... too soon"

Maybe you're joking...... but well, maybe you can think about it. It's unusual, because I'm a journalist who's interested in me.

"And excuse me. You heard from the company."

I hear something trembling, but this reaction seems to be a phone call.

"It may be urgent, and go ahead"

"Excuse me... yes... I'm just in the middle of some coverage right now... eh? Is that true? Yes."

The reporter starts the conversation on the phone he took out and leaves the seat a little.

A dedicated device, not a card, probably requires a professional pattern. You must have more than one.

"Excuse me."

"Uh, is this urgent coverage or something?

"... informal, but up to date"

The face of the returning reporter is an indescribably subtle expression. Wouldn't that be a very good story?

"Actually, today, an advance team from < Arc Saber > was challenging the 100th tier," he said.

"Oh, really? I mean, can I ask you that?

"It's going to be today's news, and I don't think that's a problem because there's going to be extras... but the result is devastation. I don't know the details, and it won't be published, but this sounds like a tough challenge."

"Destroyed...?

... the advance party?

The advance party usually puts in personnel who are less likely to die in order to look at the next offensive layer.

Acting basically to survive and bring back more information than breakthroughs and annihilations. To be clear, it would be better than the main unit when it comes to survival alone.... That's the devastation?

"You haven't heard the news in a long time that the advance party has been devastated.... I don't think there has been one in the last few years, when was it before?

"… seventy-five floors"

"Oh, of the < Meteor Knights > … and that's something you don't really want to talk about if you're involved"

"I don't mind that..."

Your sisters stalled on a year-by-year basis, but that's not what I care about because I moved on. The problem is......

"I can't believe it's going to be the same as then..."

"No way... I hope not. … sorry, I have to go back to the company and write this article"

"Oh, yes."

"Thank you for today. Thanks again"

Leaving that behind, the reporter took the slip and left the store in a hurry.

"Well..."

I drink one cold cup of tea.

I'm just saying the advance party is still devastated. Besides, the situation wasn't the same as it was when only the Meteor Knights stood out.

I haven't even been promoted to intermediate yet. That's not what I'm worried about.

A lot of people expected < Arc Saber > to attack first, but now they might have lined up.

I'm glad your sisters attacked me first, but then my differences with us will widen again.

... No, I'm not saying it doesn't matter, but that's your sisters' problem.

I have to work hard to get a promotion in March.

... don't let Michael beat you.
