Three years after D Genesis Dungeon

On the 41st floor of Nishi Shinjuku Park Tower, four members of the Simon Team enjoyed elegant afternoon tea.

The orb had been told to return from the dungeon to confirm the bid and prepare to receive it, but upon returning, the mining personnel had arrived late. Apparently, DoD's selection of staff returned to a blank slate due to the strong screwing of the staff out of their place.

In the case of DoD, it means that it is in its jurisdiction because it is a resource, but it seems that DAD is more appropriate because we are still in the investigation stage. Isn't it stupid from the point of view? It is a trouble to say that, but the management team is unavoidable because this is the source of points.

But wrinkles come to the scene. The Simons couldn't go back to the 18th floor and had no choice but to get on vacation. However, they must have come to Yoyogi on holidays.

Joshua is carrying a cup close to her mouth with a very familiar touch. Mason, dressed in an unfamiliar shirt with a collar and sleeves, threw his tea hood into his mouth, looking cramped. Finger foods and petite sweets have disappeared at a tremendous rate, but a tray service is coming soon. The afternoon tea set here can eat as much tea as you like, let alone tea. As expected, Park Hyatt. Sometimes it costs only $ 45.

"So what about Yoshimura?"

Simon asked, leaving the single estate autumnal.

Autumnal is Darjeeling, usually harvested in the fall. It has nothing to do with Muscat flavors, but its astringency has many fans. But Simon thought he should have had a cup of coffee. He is a coffee party.

"Yoshimura? Not Azusa?"

Natalie heard it and wondered.

"Yoshimura"

Katherine hesitated for a moment, but as soon as he could stretch his back, he answered his superior's questions.

"He was a very strong man." "What?" "Janken is a so-called rock-paper-scissors." "Oh no, I know it." "I'm sorry!" I wonder if he challenged him? I want to hear his ability at that time. "

Catherine elaborated on the situation.

When I tried a mock battle in a dungeon, I was offered a Janken game because it was troublesome. It was fantastic that Janken thinks that it was just luck that he could not measure his ability with a game of luck alone. If you think it's a lie, you'll be asked to try it and respond. And surprisingly, I never won.

"I didn't win? Isn't it happening?" "I tried 100 times surely, but never won." "Never once? No icon?" "Aiko?" "... Speaking of which, there wasn't. It's strange."

As long as there is no icon, all of them are buttoned for the first time, so the probability is 1/3. Does it happen 100 times in a row? If it were a coincidence, the probability was-

"A five-hundred-quattuordecillionth"

Approximately, Natalie said.

"I haven't heard of the word" Quad Todessellion "," I mean riding the number 45. So the denominator is about 5E + 47. " "The order of the total number of certain water molecules."

It turns out that the odds are impossible.

"What was the trick?" "I thought so, and asked if I had the skills to read the other person's thoughts." "So?" I was told that I could win if I thought about it and thought of a different hand. "" Have you tried it? "

However, he was all defeated. It is impossible to come up with such an impossible probability. I think there is some trick-maybe a skill-but I couldn't imagine what it was.

"That's why I was told that I wouldn't be injured if I was a janken, and that I could always challenge.

I'm confident that I'll never lose, but that's good.

"Cathie, for a while, also explored the secrets of Yoshimura's abilities."

Even if not told, Catherine hated, and was full of challenges to Yoshimura.

"So, did you explain the training program?" "No, maybe it will be tonight, but you may not be able to report on the program for a while." "Confidentiality agreement?" "No. "Your bosses are the first customers, so if you report it, wait until it's over." "What's there?"

Impressed by the training? They're still interesting guys. What are you doing?

"Have you signed a confidentiality agreement?" "No. That's ..." "What is it?" "I won't hide it and I can talk to my former boss about what I learned during my work, so work seriously. When"

Upon hearing that, Simon spontaneously blew out.

"Is everything already woven!"

A service staff who brilliantly passed through Simon, who was showing his feat of laughing and shouting with his voice, brought freshly baked scones. Joshua reminded Mason of which jam or clotted cream should be applied first, with plenty of jam and clotted cream on it.

"What else is there?" "... Am, it's about compensation." "Oh, I've been treated as a part-time worker, but the salary is paid as before. In your case, E- It was E-8 because I was on the second rank because I was on secondment. " That's why I can't afford to get it. "" But ... "" What? What happened? "" ... It was $ 250,000 a year. "

Eyes glanced from Simon, who whistled unintentionally.

"I'm hungry. That's more than the O-10."

Say Natalie was impressed. The O-10 is a salary class given to military generals, with a cap of almost $ 20,000 per month.

"Is your job a training instructor?" "Yes" "Is there a bonus for confidentiality?"

This is a common mechanism for retirement benefits.

"That's exactly what I said earlier."

I don't really understand what they think. If the instructor could get that much, could it be extraordinary to attend?

"Well, it's okay to have a higher paid staff Sargent than General. This isn't USMC (* 2)."

Joshua replied casually, asking the staff for a cup of tea.

"Please give me if you give me. The DAD front team earns more with the bonuses of items and orbs, so you don't have to worry about it."

In fact, it is life that the front team bets. That was a good deal. Otherwise you would not be able to participate in the orb auction.

Simon asked Katherine, poking at Madeleine in front of him.

"Finally, can you give me an impression of Yoshimura?"

Katherine immediately answered the question.

"I was a very strange man."

He's just a G-ranked explorer, but he doesn't be afraid to be afraid, he doesn't mean to be great, but he is strangely humble. He seemed to have an unusual attitude.

"It's a characteristic of the Japanese." "Is that so? Oh, and it was strange that Boss-Azusa was swearing loyalty." "Loyalty?" "Yes, she was Yoshimura." Semper Fi! "(* 3). I never expected to hear the Marines' motto here."

Natalie who heard it asked.

"Cathie, isn't it" Sempai "?" "Huh? It was like that, but it was like" Senior. "

Seniors are words that are very hard to explain. In English-speaking countries, age differences are not as important as in Japan, so there was no word that fit this. Seniors only tell about their age, and mentors are a bit far. It was a really nuisance word, and I couldn't help but misunderstand Kathy who could speak Japanese a little.

"SEMPAI?" "SENPAI. It's a name for people who are relatively close and have a longer career than you." "Huh ..."

"Yoshimura was a tutor of Miyoshi in his previous job." "Why are you studying strangely?"

Natalie asked strangely.

"It's modern Enigma (* 4)." "Sure, Azusa has something to say ..."

She started the orb auction, and she owns the appraisal. He seems to be making a status measurement device using it. An email from a national researcher told me to buy one and send it immediately.

"No, it's really Yoshimura. You can bet."

Simon embarked when he ordered coffee from the service staff.

"Okay, Azusa first dived into the dungeon at the end of the first year of the dungeon, and she was a student of Uni (* 5). "I never dived until I got a license." "And Yoshimura dived into the dungeon for the first time only three months ago, which coincides with the time he left his previous company." Did you leave the company and dive into the dungeon? "

Natalie said astonished. It was unusual behavior for Japanese.

"That's right. Leaving a company I've been working for for years is going to dive into dungeons. If you've been dive for a long time, you didn't even have a license?" Anyway, if you are a student, it's a mess of abnormalities. ''

Simon shrugged and said so. Joshua began to listen intriguingly, but Mason threw a little cheesecake into his mouth without any regard.

"And so, before and after Yoshimura quit the company, Azusa took a training course in commercial licensing at the JDA." "What?" "Dive two years ago, I've been interested in the dungeon at least once." Does the woman who did not show up suddenly get a commercial license without entering the dungeon? "" Is it possible that the company's connection thought to start doing business independently? " However, the company they were in was unlikely to be the most recent and powerful connection in dungeon material, and in fact Jatura did not use such a connection. Is only a medical device venture that is developing a device. "

Natalie said stunned.

"In any case, Azusa has applied for a training course on obtaining a commercial license as Yoshimura quits the company. By any means, the entity is Yoshimura?" "I don't say that there is no couple who does such a fool with no prospects, but are they such a Tama?"

That's exactly right. In the first place, items do not drop up to 4 layers of Yoyogi. If you do that for beginners, you will go bankrupt in no time. There was some difficulty.

"Speaking of that, he seemed to have dived into only one layer for the first month. When he asked the Yoyogi explorers, he seemed to have been famous for his suicide guy for a time?" "Suicide?" "I was determined to commit suicide but didn't feel like it," she said. I have met Naruse. ''

At that time, the coffee I had ordered arrived. Simon took a sip of it and continued talking, thinking that the beans at Azusa were still better than the tea but what kind of beans they used.

"Okay, Yoshimura suddenly quits the company and starts dive into the dungeon, repeating a mysterious behavior for about a month." "And Azusa suddenly got a commercial license and only once entered the dungeon. "And then within 10 days, Azusa quits the company and an auction is suddenly held."

"Fum"

Joshua moaned to think about something.

"In the meantime, Yoshimura was just doing strange things on one layer, and in Azusa, when Yoshimura entered the dungeon for the first time, he was with him all the time, and he never had a party. "I didn't get in." "And last year, the number of people who seemed to have descended to the second or lower level was only three times." "From where the information is ....." "The security of JDA seems a bit sweet ?""you know what……"

"But just listening to that story doesn't make any sense where they came from the orb ... it just seems impossible."

Mason, who had been eating until then, said so.

"Yes, I think so. And the other day, it was revealed that Azusa was an appraiser. Everyone concentrated on what they could do, but how did they get the problem? "Is the monster defeated?" "That's right, but think about it, are you confident that you can defeat the same 373 monsters a day?" "Maybe it's hard." "Even if the orb appeared by chance, how did you kill 373 bodies? Announcement was a zombie, but even if it's a goblin, it's extremely difficult. So is it certain that they have something to do that? "

Except for Catherine, the three nodded at once.

"And here's a hypothesis that might explain that." "Is they creating a huge organization of investigators?" "If the information isn't leaking, the CIA bows down, We have to ask them for their teachings. The more people we flock, the more difficult it is to manage, so lack of information means that only a few people are involved. "

Joshua, thinking about something, unfastened his arm and opened his mouth.

"Hypothesis ... right?" "Of course."

The shadow of the afternoon's clear light passing through Hawaiian bamboo and falling on Joshua's face shook slightly.

"Yoshimura suddenly appeared in the world No. 1. That is probably just off the shelf."

Simon, at his own discretion, formed a gun with his hand and fired it at Joshua, celebrating his fire.

"Exactly!"

But Natalie was still skeptical.

"But where in the explanation about Yoshimura right now is there a time to be number one?" "Everybody thinks so. I can stay at The Phantom forever. I don't know how. Assuming everything can be explained smoothly, that's it. "

She made Air Quartz (* 6) with both hands and said, "It's an interesting guess."

"Isn't there a good reason, of course?" "For example, Yoshimura left the company shortly after the phantom appeared. It is highly likely that he stopped and dive into the dungeon because he was ranked first."

Simon continued after moistening his throat with his coffee.

"There are plenty of other such circumstantial evidences, but I'm convinced that the answer I heard from the Yoyogi explorers was." "What?" "Yes," "No matter what kind of guy, if you have friends who have been together with you until then, you will notice it, and even if you do not notice it, it will seem strange" "Well, yes" " That means he's a solo or a newcomer, and the material supply market hasn't changed. "

If existing searchers suddenly increase in rank, the materials they sell will fluctuate. Anyway, if the rank changes little by little, suddenly the rank should have changed noticeably. Even if you stop selling, it manifests itself in a decline in the materials offered.

"So the target is a newcomer, and he doesn't sell the materials he would have obtained. How does he make money?" "Is it an orb?" But when asked by JDA officials, let alone the investigators, no one was able to make the first guess: even as if they were not visible. "It wasn't there." "So you're called The Phantom, right?" "Yes. But there's no invisible person. That's what we saw, but nobody recognized it." "What do you mean?"

"In recent years, Yoshimura was the most prominent Yoyogi to know."

Most of them have a DoD spying team scattered in the dungeon. No matter how DoD guys are incompetent, they shouldn't be scattered by amateurs. If you look at the nine layers of commotion in understanding foreign languages, you'll see people from other countries look alike.

"So Simon. What do you want to do?" "Our job is to research and capture the dungeons, and eventually the RING." "Yes" "But three years, and soon four years I'm still struggling with about 30 layers of Evans. "

Mason, who was nervous, said to the boss in the thirty-first layer, with a bitter face, whether he remembered that time.

"I want to know the secret that they jumped lightly over our three years to rank # 1 in a very short time."

If they could do it, I would really like to ask for a teaching. Even if you continue to capture, the deadlock will come soon. Thanks to the new skill orbs, we'll have 10 more layers or so, but given the situation so far, we don't know.

"I can't seem to come to an end even if I do this until I become grandfather."

Simon's tired face is rare. A moment of silence came to his face, which seemed aged at a stretch. It's almost time for afternoon tea. The voices of people who were distant and fun waking up filled the space with inaudible sounds.

"So, Cathy" "Oh yes"

Until then, Catherine, who had only had to listen silently, was suddenly summoned.

"Let's find out what Yoshimura is good"

Simon laughed and said so. Catherine could only silently nod.
