We have a level system in place for mankind.

The ticket slot at the station was deserted and we went bare without anyone stopping us. Join the explorers of Higashita Town, including Ryuzaki, on the platform.

Ryuzaki stared at Elena and Kawai with a giraffe.

"It's a giant dragon. I guess we can fight."

"No problem. Everyone has fulfilled the terms of their participation"

Muto replied on behalf of.

Ryuzaki nodded, but the Seekers who were watching us behind them have gazed down. I guess we think we're up there.

"If it's like pulling our legs, I'll abandon you."

Among the seekers in East Lower Town, a young man about twenty years old said. It was an opportunity for other seekers to make a scene.

"Stop it, it could be more powerful than you guys."

A word from Ryuzaki made me quiet.

I was assuming Ryuzaki was quite capable. Otherwise, we can't bind the Seekers of Higashita. But I don't know if it's better than me. You can't judge by your own considerations.

We got on an armored train. The train is also reinforced from the inside, with metal struts welded inside. And to my surprise, this armored train was a steam locomotive.

"Explorers, please fill in your place name and name on the roster"

An officer-like man raised his voice. I guess he's the prefectural rep. We entered 'Higashigami Town, Jesu City' in our place name. The official who sees it looks suspicious.

Because Ryuzaki and the others only filled in "Jesu City".

"Why are the place names written differently?

"Because we are the Seekers of Toshiba Town and we have never fought with the Seekers of Toshiba Town. I want you to think about that."

If I have a specific plan of action, the East End Explorer asked me to join the team. I didn't like being organized with people who didn't know what strength or how to fight. If they were torn apart and organized with the Seekers of Higashita Town, they might not be able to show their strength.

An armored train departed. The next stop is in Tazaki City. In fact, there were several stations along the way, but the town that did not stop was the place where mankind was defeated and the whole area occupied by alien beasts.

I counted the stations I passed by and got a little depressed. Because I found out there were too many towns in which mankind had defeated. Was it in the hands of your handwashing mayor that the city of Jesu survived? That mayor is going to do whatever it takes to survive.

If part of the city of Jesuit survived as a result, we need to change the mayor's rating... no, that's early. You'd better find out what happened a few months ago and then make a decision.

We arrived in Tazaki City. It's a town where Misaki, a childhood friend, might be. I looked for Misaki on the platform. But I couldn't find it.

Explorers in Tazaki City seem to have taken another vehicle, so I can't look any further. The vehicle and the vehicle had been unable to come and go for reinforcement. Besides, officials have instructed me not to go outside.

"Are you looking for Misaki?

Elena was looking at me.

"I want to know if you're okay. But I couldn't find it."

"I don't know if Misaki is an explorer."

If you're alive, you must be defeating and leveling the Beast. Because I'm not the kind of woman who's afraid to hide in danger. I just don't know if I've become an explorer.

She thought it was charismatic and possibly a politician or leader. He may not be a searcher, he may be a person on the side of using the searcher.

An armored train ran out. Muto starts talking.

"By the way, I heard you were after the guardians of the Beast District, is that true?

I stared at someone who I thought had leaked information to. Kawai shifts his gaze. There's a little distance from the Ryuzaki guys, so they won't hear what we're talking about.

"I want to be able to defeat my guardian and make an oak talisman."

"Is there something in the Beast District?

"I have land I can return to the paddy fields. So I'm talking about the oak talisman…"

"I envy all of you who think you can defeat the Guardians of the Beast Zone."

Muto seems to have felt signs of the guardian. At that time, it seemed like I didn't think I'd be enemies.

"If you level up, you'll be able to defeat your guardians."

"But how much leveling do we need to be able to take them down?

"That will depend on the skill you have"

If you have the skills to poke at a guardian's weakness, you may be able to defeat them even at a lower individual level.

The armored train stopped in several towns to take the Seekers on board and finally arrived in Mitsukishi City. It took longer than I expected because I discovered and repaired the damaged rails along the way.

No one to maintain and inspect the rails, and repairing the rails also serves as armoured trains.

"Please wait here as we will guide you to your accommodation in turn"

Officials gave instructions. Officials seem to be wary of the Seekers taking unsolicited action.

The lodging we were shown was an inn with hot springs.

"I never thought I'd put it in the hot springs again"

Elena raised her voice happily.

We enjoyed the hot springs and ate an inn meal. I didn't expect a meal because of this situation. But I was a little disappointed in the meal of stewed rice and root vegetables, plus just miso soup.

I didn't expect seafood because it was far from the sea, but I expected pork and venison. Mitsukishi City was famous for its hot springs and Zibier cuisine.

"No buttons, no mommies..."

Muto shrugged. Buttons are about pork, Momiji is about venison. Looks like Muto wanted meat too.

After the meal and being indulgent in the room, an official who was with me on an armored train came to call. They're meeting with a team of commanders before the operation.

A team of commanders seems to be an elite team specially organized by the prefectural government. We walked into an inn.

"Cozillow, I knew you were alive"

I heard a nostalgic voice.

There was Misaki, a childhood friend, in the room.

"Misaki... I've been looking for you"

"I looked for it, too. My uncles were worried."

Misaki talked about her parents, so I remembered the death of my parents, who were in the back of my mind, and I felt bitter.

Endo, that's it for the old story, start the interview.

There was a person sitting in a chair with a great face beside Misaki. He's the leader of the Commander's team.

"Okay. Have a seat, gentlemen."

We sit in the chair provided, relative to the four members of the Commander's team. Misaki introduced the members of the Commander's team.

The commander-in-chief was a former self-defense officer named Kumada, Third Class Luzo. Other members also said they were former self-defense officers.

"Before the operation, we must confirm your strength. I think you'll understand that."

Misaki started talking.

Muto looks mucky.

"Reveal status information to us, do you mean?

"I'm not saying it's all. I want you to teach me your personal level, your weapons, your manipulation skills."

It's understandable that it's the information you need to set up an operation.

"Does that mean say it on this occasion?

Muto asked the question. No individual level or skills were published in Higashigami Town. There was no clear reason, but there was something like Shiori, who kept it a secret.

But that wasn't common. Seems to publish, at least within the team we're exploring together. Misaki turned her gaze to Muto.

"Is there any inconvenient circumstance in teaching us?

"... not particularly, but in our town it was normal to keep it a secret"

"This is the situation, so I know it's going to be human mistrust. But trust us."

"Okay. Let me tell you something. The individual level is 15, the weapon has an axe, and the manipulation system has a manipulation style."

"Thank you. Michihar's next."

Misaki is also familiar with Kawai.

"My individual level is' 12 '. It was too late to be an explorer."

"Was it too late? How long have you been an explorer?

"Since I became an explorer, maybe two months"

Everyone on the command team looked at each other. The result that the individual level was' 12 'in two months seemed pretty good.

"What about weapons?

"Willow Leaf Knife, the manipulation system is called" geomanipulation. "

"Hmm, you're using a rare weapon"

It was Elena's turn next.

"My individual level is' 15 '"

"What... are you like me"

Muto, who found out Elena had caught up with him, raised his surprise.

"The weapon is a bow, and the manipulation system has acquired" Manipulation Darkness ""

"It's a bow... I guess it's tough when they're Little Rex"

Little Rex is a dinosaur that makes the Giant Dragon District a territory. It looks like a strange beast this guy is also known as a giant dragon.

"Probably fine,"

"Could you possibly use a bursting arrow?

Elena nodded. Misaki laughed nicely. They don't have a small number of bowmen who can use burst arrows.

"Well, for the last time, it's Cozillo."

"My individual level is 29."

……

A member of the Commander's team was silenced. I look at your face and you seem surprised and speechless.
