The next day, I returned from the Hundred Ghosts Path.
Yeah. I knew you'd let that boss in normally after all.
At my usual tavern, three people told me how I came to help, and I was in such a matchmaking situation.
That's right. There can't be a boss room that can only be accessed from a trapdoor.
Tete, who sits in front of the table, naturally says:
"Normally, you can go down to the thirty stairs." From there, it looks like a maze of bamboo forests, and there is a large house and a prominent transfer floor just down the road. Once you get on it, you can transfer to the boss' room, which is full of strange rooms. "
That's how it was structured.
I was always wondering what the original strategy route was, so I was glad to hear it.
I would have liked to see it with my own eyes, if I could.
"Nevertheless, you know very well that we are in the 30th layer." Suddenly it disappeared, and there would have been no clue. "
"What are you talking about?" Didn't Alvin tell you that? "
Huh?
"Look, it's a message from that abnormal condition!"
"... ahhh! I see!"
I finally remember what Kokor said.
"I understand that... I didn't even have a meeting beforehand."
Hehe, naturally!
Kokoro's chest is stretched out.
“In the big party we had earlier, one of the leaders showed the members the same thing. Tell me it's a precautionary measure."
"Huh. I was taught by the old man in the village, but there are people who think similar things." Was it exactly the same way then? "
"Ah, no... at that time, it was expressed by the number of self-injury damage..."
"Oh, that way."
My grandfather used self-injury damage in the way he did.
After communicating the number of strata due to a condition abnormality, you can divide the map of the dungeon into vertical three and horizontal three, and display the rough coordinates based on the number of self-injury damage.
In our case, it's an unmapped location, so I couldn't tell you that much.
"It's easier to tell the difference from a normal fight." But you're well aware that the number of poisons and paralysis represents thirty. I think it was quite complicated. "
"Well, that's... hehe, naturally!"
Well, I'm the one who decoded it.
Opposite the wandering cocolle, Merina tilted her cup and said calmly.
I'm sure Kokor wouldn't have known if he hadn't told me.
"Hey, I didn't really understand it after all, but..."
Tete said as he poked his cheek stick with both arms.
Why are you paralyzed four times and poisoned thirty times?
"It's a binary method."
Merina puts the glass down and begins to explain.
"There are four types of state abnormalities: poison, paralysis, sleep, and fainting, right?" Each recovery item must be arranged in this order, so first we'll number it 0, 1, 2, and 3, starting with the poison. "
Melina explained to Tete, who leaned between her brows.
"Of these, the only abnormalities that can be used in messages are poison and paralysis." Sleep takes time to heal naturally, and there is no way to be stunned. Therefore, you need to express all the numbers with only 0 and 1. That's where you can use the binary method. "
"What is this... binary technique?"
Simply put, it's a notation that goes up in two.
The wrinkles between her brows were getting deeper, but Merina didn't mind.
"It is as it is with 0 and 1, but it is expressed in the following way: 2 is 10, 3 is 11, and 4 is 100. Alvin's condition was paralyzed, paralyzed, paralyzed, paralyzed, and poisoned, right? The paralysis is 1, the poison is 0, so if you fix it to a number, 1110. This is called the binary method thirty. The message from the human who disappeared in the twenty-nine layers is too easy to understand."
"Haha. Merina-san, you know something very difficult..."
"... the seminary would have made math much more difficult?"
"Oh, that's strange. I wonder if someone has taken away my memory..."
Melina stared at Kokor, who laughed at her.
"I was just taught by the old man in the village... but I didn't expect to be deciphered from nothing." I just wanted someone to know, so I tried it at the wrong place. "
“I just like to think of things like this. Besides... even if I didn't notice that message, I think I ended up in the 30th floor."
“What do you mean?”
Kokor and Tete explain to me by tilting my neck.
"After Alvin and Yuri disappeared, we went around listening to other parties that were raising the level on the 29th floor. Have you seen her somewhere?".... Then..... "
What a party I knew about that bamboo tube transfer trap.
"... eh? Is that so?"
"Yes, it seems that if there is one or two people, there is a low probability that the bamboo tubes will come out." It looks like there were other people who got caught. "
"I haven't even been to the information store yet, but it looks like it was new information." They also told me how to get out of the bamboo forest maze and how to find the boss and trap in the strange room. What a free gift! "
"As expected, I couldn't even investigate where the transfer floor in the room was connected to." But everyone was kind and helpful... "
There's plenty of room for a high-level party, right?
"Wait, wait a minute." Could it be..... "
I inadvertently block the explanation of the two people who talk idly.
Is there anybody who came back caught in that trap?
Huh? Yes.
"I heard it from the person himself." He said he was in a hurry and laughed. "
That wasn't funny at all, though.
To both of you, I say in amazement.
"Ah... that boss's room couldn't be pulled back!?"
In my words, they looked at each other.
"Uh, uh, technically, I can't retreat." I can't use my recall items anymore. but..... "
I was able to get in and out normally from the transfer floor at the entrance.
"Oh... what the hell!" why on earth..... "
Isn't it because it was a transfer bed?
Melina sandwiched her mouth.
"Look. A boss who can't retreat is a boss who can't get in and out of a door when it closes." But if there was a transfer floor in the room..... "
"...... is that supposed to get you out?"
"In fact, it was." They can come in, so of course they won't be able to come out. "
I unintentionally feel weak.
Certainly, I had hoped from the beginning that there would be more adventurers coming, but... because we were on a one-way street, we were completely out of our minds about the possibility of getting out.
Before the boss fight, Yuri and I had a mapping rate of over 70%. In some cases... it didn't seem strange to find a transfer floor for the exit.
"Oh, I can't get out of nowhere..."
"Well, it's not surprising that you think so." There is no other example... if the [Memory Map] was no longer available, I think I made the same decision. "
“It looks like the people we talked to didn't think they'd be able to answer. If I were to get fucked and repeat the transfer appropriately, it would seem that I could just happen to find the transfer floor at the exit."
"It seems that some people were helped by the party that came to conquer." But even if you're not so lucky... there must have been a few people who died normally. "
"That's... I guess so."
It was tete, to put it mildly, but that's not a joke, is it?
There was also a boss inside that boss's room. There were many adventurers at levels not worthy of the hierarchy, and not everyone caught in the trap was able to get around well.
But that's why I say what I was worried about.
"But then... you didn't have to go out of your way to defeat the boss, did you?"
……
……
……
"You were able to get out of the incoming transfer floor, right? I wish you'd shown me that far."
Kokoro opens his mouth in awkward silence for some reason.
"Well, that's it... we don't know how to get back to it anymore..."
”... haa?”
"I was in a hurry to take control, so I didn't have to make a note of where the transfer floor was going to fly..."
"Look, Alvin's been doing all this for me, right?" That's why we're out of our heads..... "
"Ahahaha. Everyone thought Alvin was doing it, so nobody did it. even though Alvin isn't here."
Tet laughs, but it's not funny at all.
I say it in awe.
”Um... I guess I might have had a second crash”
"Well, that's fine!" Since there weren't so many rooms, I think I could have wandered out in time! "
"Well, I think it must have been tough..."
"The worst part was that I couldn't get to the boss or the exit all the way, so the boss told me to beat them as soon as I found them." Once the dungeons are cleared, the Alvins will no longer be in danger. "
"Hmm, well, that might be reasonable, but..."
It's not reckless considering the level of the three and the balance of their professions.
It would have been troublesome if the boss had come back to life over time, so it was in a way the quickest way.
"Well, that's fine!" Everyone came home safe and sound! "
I saw the master of the bamboo tubes, and I got the boss drops.
But instead... some adventurers might hate it.
Melina smiles bitterly.
I've already wiped out the place where I raised my level after all.
If the boss is defeated, the dungeon will disappear.
All monsters, items not in storage, etc., are lost, and in less than an hour, all the adventurers inside will be transferred outside.
There's not even a trace of the entrance left behind.
Some adventurers said that a lucrative dungeon should not be completed.
I do not know the opinion, either.
But... I say it with a sigh.
"I don't care if you say that." The dungeon always wins fast. "
It was an adventurer's culture not to complain about each other.
You can't live like this and be tied to something.
Tet told me to be in tune.
"Oh, oh!" You can leave them alone to complain! "
In that case, there might have been more people caught in the trap without knowing anything about it.
"That's right..." I wonder if you think you've helped people. but..... "
Melina smiled bitterly again.
Our rumors will increase again.
****
Then, a few more days passed.
"Ah, Alvin! Welcome!"
When I opened the door of the weapon shop, the green-haired girl raised her face behind the counter.
I say hello to Yuri with my hands in the air.
Is it just Yuri today?
"Yes. Was it an errand for the manager?" I'm sorry, but I fell asleep again with a hangover... "
I don't have a choice. I'll do my errands again.
I'll give you a bitter smile.
"Speaking of which, Yuri. Have you decided on a new party yet?"
"Nah, that's not quite right yet, is it?"
"I see, then..."
I'll just say it in a slightly serious tone.
Why don't you throw a party with us for a while?
Immediately after returning from the Hundred Ghosts Monster Road, I invited Yuri to join the "Dawn".
Somehow, I thought that even five people could do well... but I felt a little responsible for handing over 40 layers of boss drops, a weapon that was too powerful.
Yuri's new party doesn't necessarily start diving into a hierarchy that doesn't fit his height because it's too easy to defeat monsters.
That's why I thought I wouldn't take care of you until your level was at least over 30...
"No! As I said before, I'm afraid not!" We are not allowed in the
And, I was completely turned down for this condition.
I'll drop my shoulder.
"I see... if I had an archer standing on the rear guard, it would be more relaxing and helpful..."
"Is that what you're saying?" I know exactly what you're talking about. "
Yuri says it with a face that sounds like a joke.
"I was able to play the boss game because... you were all moving with me."
……
"The same goes for the Cocol Sentinel Buffs, and the Alvin Sentinel Buffs and Tetrasentinel Buffs." Melina, I feel like you've always watched me get help. "
Yuri smiles at me when I close my mouth.
"I can't bother you anymore!" I'll make myself stronger for my goals! "
"... I see."
I just laughed and said so.
Well... I'm sure Yuri will be fine.
"... by the way, the boss said that he had set a goal for the room... what was the goal after all?"
"Hehe, actually I... I want to try to be a party leader"
What, a leader?
“Yes, gather your strongest friends, become a trusted leader, and create a party where you can take on the frontiers of the dungeon. That's our goal!"
I say with a little surprise to Yuri, who claims to be majestic.
"Oh, I see. That's... unusual again." I thought that a party leader was something I couldn't help but be driven by necessity..... "
It's quite difficult, so there aren't many adventurers who want to be very aggressive.
“Why? Because the previous party leader made you uncomfortable?”
"It's not such a backward reason."... some people say they want to be like this. That person is the leader! "
"Hee..."
I'll give Yuri some advice.
"In that case, it's best to go to that person's party." After all, it's easier to study when you're nearby. "
"Oh no! I don't have enough levels or experience yet." I won't be bothered to study! "
"Hah, I see. It's quite difficult."
I don't know where the party is, but if it's in the front class, Yuri might turn it down.
Well, that's no use.
And... if you're willing to do it, you'll be surprised.
I'm pretty much here on my own, too.
"But, I can't even talk about it all the time, right?"
Yuri puts her chin on the counter and says she's weak.
"It's time to dive into the dungeon again... mainly because of your problems"
"Are you so short of money?" The Hundred Ghosts Path's drops should have earned you a lot of money. "
"It's all precious items for me right now, so I don't really want to sell them."
"Oh, that's... I know how it feels"
"That said, I guess I have to sell it..." Even if I wanted to go to the dungeon, I was scared of the bowman's solo. It's best to get into some kind of party as soon as possible..... "
I'm going to ask the troubled Yuri.
"Can't you find such a good party?"
"Actually, I don't think that's the case... but I'm so desperate because I ventured out with you guys"
”Ahh... well, Yuri herself has also gained strength”
"Besides, maybe the party I was at before didn't fit in at all, so I'm being careful."
"Hmmm..."
I'll give you a little more advice after I'm bothered.
If you can't find a party you really want to join, you might want to start a new one looking for a free adventurer as well.
Huh, you want to start a new party?
"Yeah, it's surprisingly easy with the Alliance board." I don't have a healer, so it's hard to party with four or more people... but if you're an archer, just partying with a shield (tank) and you'll get a lot of good dungeons. "
"Ahh, the Yunhai Building or the big ice cave?" I see, there's that, too... "
That's when Yuri started thinking seriously.
"I'm sorry, come on..."
With the sound of Kee, a guest showed her face through the door.
A little tall but frail chestnut girl. Apparently, it was an adventurer before I could take it out of my gear.
It is also bad to disturb the shopkeeper too much. And so, when I tried to say goodbye to Yuri.....
"Ah!! Yuri-chan!!"
A young lady, looking at Yuri's face, opened her eyes and cried out loudly.
In contrast to Yuri......,
"Ahh!? What are you doing here?!" Now!! "
He stood up across the counter, screaming as well.
Soon after they asked if they knew each other, the two began to argue.
"You've been shown your face a lot!!" I don't have anything to sell you!! Let's get out of here!! "
"Don't say that..." Listen to me, Yuri-chan.... "
"What kind of story do you want to talk about now?"
"Ah, calm down, both of you..."
I accidentally sandwich my mouth.
"I don't know what happened, but for the time being..."
"What are you talking about, Alvin?" You know so much, don't you? That's what he did to me! "
"No, no, I don't know... but I met her in the first place..."
After hearing this, Yuri points to the customer's girl and says, "After a moment, I'm dumbfounded."
Dark Knight
Huh?
"This is the dark knight of the party that kicked me out!"
"... hh!? This girl!?"
At that time, she was wearing black armor, and she didn't even notice it because she didn't say a word.
"I didn't expect you to be such a girl..."
When I think about it, I think it was a little extravagant.
"Ah, that's Alvin, isn't it...?"
The Dark Knight girl was closing in.
Ah, ahh
"I'm a fan, please sign..."
"Hey! Don't get too familiar with the tempura!" After all, what are you doing here?! "
"Oh, that's right..."
The chestnut girl turned to Yuri in a hurry.
"Please, Yuri-chan, come back to the party..."
Hah, hah? What are you suddenly saying?
"Ever since Yuri-chan disappeared, the party has been a mess..."
The dark knight girl said with a crying face.
"I get caught in traps all the time, and the big herds accidentally get rid of me... I can't help it, but I'm struggling with the monsters I've been able to defeat..." It's all Gudagda now. I thought it would be like this, but.... "
……
"I think everyone has finally noticed that it was all thanks to Yuri that the leader managed to do something even if he did nothing until now. I wish I had stopped you at that time... but I'm not good at talking..."
……
"As expected of the leader... perhaps he has reflected on it." No, even if you don't reflect... I'll tell you, I'll definitely make Yuri apologize! So... please. Come back, Yuri-chan... "
Yuri answers the pleas of his old companions, but Yuri answers on the face of the Buddha.
"I can't."
"Oh, don't say that..."
"I'm saying it's impossible." Because I'm not a scout anymore. "
"Eh......"
The Dark Knight girl's eyes widened.
“So, you've changed jobs? Could it be... a bowman?"
"That's right."
"I see... Yuri-chan, you were really good at bowing." Well then... I guess I can't help it. "
The girl dropped her shoulder and said.
"Well then... I wonder if I should leave that party, too." Even if I stay like this, I don't think it's probably a good thing..... "
"Hmm... let's get out of here, such a party." You were the highest level, somewhere else... hm? "
At that time, Yuri had a face that seemed to come up with something.
Then he frowned and asked the girl.
"... do you really want to get out?"
"Um, yeah. I'm in the shield position (tank)... so it's me the leader struggles with the most..."
Hmmm, that's right.
And---Yuri said with a smile.
Well then, let's party with me!
"Eh, Yuri-chan...?"
"I was just looking for a shield job (tank)"
Yuri, who just said it was a good idea, and the girl who suddenly turned her eyes to the black-and-white proposal.
Looking at the two of you, I laughed unexpectedly.
"Even though I've been worried about you before, I think we're going to have a party already."
"Thanks to Mr. Alvin for his advice!"... so what? "
"No, I'm having a party with Yuri-chan..."
The Dark Knight girl tells me to get lost.
"This is the first time we've had a party... but I think it's interesting." Will you find someone with a recovery job (healer) and other avant-gardes...? "
"I'll look for it on my adventure." I want to have a party of four eventually! "
"I see, then... let's go in." Nice to meet you, Yuri-chan..... "
"Alright, that's settled!" Well then, I don't know what to do with the party name..... "
I unexpectedly smiled at the new party that had been formed in no time.
This is how you get to throw a party.
With friendships, adventurers meet each other, and nature becomes one with them.
Sometimes it can be a long time to get along with a fellow who has never had the trigger for anything.
That's what I feel for myself.
