World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

After buying clothes, we head to Cebu Town, where the middle seekers gather in the Eighth District. The property rented out to me was on a high ground climbing the slopes of Cebu Town.

The third floor of a larger building, with eight rooms for each floor on three floors. Room 304, Nornil Heights, 8th Ward, that's the address of my room.

It couldn't be a corner room facing south, but it doesn't look like you need to worry too much because the neighbor is still available. Having said that, I don't mean to hold a meeting until late at night, although I'm going to be sleeping early today.

The midwife who guided me was a perfect woman, always residing in the dormitory, cleaning with several employees and managing the facility, she said. She said she would wake me up on time if I asked, so I decided to have her wake me up at 6: 30 so I could get to the mercenary good offices tomorrow at 8: 00.

"There's only one key to the room, so be careful what you lose. We accept eight pieces of silver coins as it will be rebuilt and every key will be replaced."

"Okay, I'll be careful not to lose it"

Eight silver coins are eighty copper coins. I think it's never cheap, so I want to manage it strictly.

"Excuse me, Mr. Fifty Storms, I can't seem to make two keys"

"What... when you two live together, is it something that makes one key at a time?

"As it is, well, isn't that what happens when you think about convenience? Me and Mr. Fifty Storms might come back to the room separately."

I've never given someone a spare key for an apartment, either. I also just said that it would be more convenient to have two bottles, not an empirical story.

"... eh. I'm not in any trouble right now, okay? There's no way we're going to act differently without a fight."

"Well..."

It's like he's saying he'll never fight or anything. If it was her a while ago, it would be hard to believe, to be honest, because she was like a fighter every time she opened her mouth.

"If you want to fight, you can always take it and stand?

"No, there's no extinction either. Let's do it soothingly."

"As it were, well... you know what I mean when I talk to you? Surprisingly, it's easy to talk about the back. I don't know if it's soothing or anything."

(... hey, something really soft to deal with... the one who told the truth at the clothes store, so he said he was broken?

I mean, trust 10, but the contribution just went up by 10, and it's not like Mr. Fifty Arashi just got along with me on that number or anything - it should be.

"More than that, I need to eat when I put my stuff away. I hear you're late in the dining room, but I heard it's tough to get tangled up by a drunk high level explorer."

"Because 'karma' goes up, it seems we rarely get caught up in crime. But you've never been too careful."

"That 'karma' is also convenient, isn't it? You don't have to call the police or anything, but the Alliance's defense team will rush you."

Perhaps when the license senses the rise of 'Karma', it is the mechanism through which it is passed on to the Alliance. Everything in the information is in the guild. It doesn't seem to be a leak, but that could be a superficial story, and Slow Down just wants to know more about licensing.

When I opened the door to the room, there was a living room to my surprise first. There's a room going from the living room to the back, and it does seem to have two beds in the bedroom.

"Wow... bigger than the hotel we used to go to as a family. Back there, how did you get the sequence up enough to stay in a room like this? Because you took out that red one?

"Yes, Mr. Fifty Storms fought too, so naturally you have the right to stay. So don't hesitate"

"Well, even if they say so..."

Mr. Fifty Arashi is shrinking with a bag of luggage.

I was used to these rooms, and I thought you were going to split up staying with me and act like a bulwark, but this reaction is unexpected.

(... Ah. Right, it's a house with a tight curfew, and I've been protecting it, so has Mr. Fifty Storms...)

"... Mr. Fifty Storms?

"Hih!?

"Shh, excuse me for calling out suddenly. Uh, I have two luggage compartments, so Mr. Fifty Storms can use this one. We'll decide later on the allocation of beds."

"Ugh, yeah, okay. You can do it this way... Yikes!

Mr. Fifty Storms is about to fall where there is nothing. It's called the horrible and adorable scream just now, this 25-year-old female section chief definitely has no male experience.

I'm sure of that. I'm a wizard candidate, but even I know that. If a woman who is more nervous than herself is the other person, she can somehow afford it, that's exactly what I'm realizing right now.

(... Is it possible that I'm welcoming a mountain range in my post-rebirth life?

"... what are you doing? What, are you complaining?

"No, there isn't. You left your stuff, then let's go. I'll give it to you, so you don't have to bring your wallet."

"... you're pissed off without it. Can I hit you?

"Don't hit me, because I'm still no different than a living person myself"

If I mistreat her here, the spring I visit will be far away. No, I know it won't be such a development all of a sudden - if I hadn't disciplined myself to be so, I wouldn't have been able to squeeze my face at all.

◆ ◇ ◆

I was advised to have dinner at a liquor store just down the hill, as the meal can be eaten inside the inn but it is expensive.

It is almost time for the sun to set and the store is crowded with explorers who have finished their adventures.

"Except I'm not sure what kind of meat it is, the flavor is acceptable."

"Mr. Fifty Storms, do you like or dislike something?

"Not so much, but you didn't like crumbs or blue cheese. Stinky tofu or something."

You mean you don't like things that smell tough? Then Dorian or something doesn't seem to work either. I've never eaten either.

"I wonder if the people who are here are as sequential as the posterior ones."

"Sounds like it. The best people in the Eighth Ward seem to change their quarters again."

"You're separating the Labyrinth Nation into eight, and letting it compete in every single one of them. So, what, the most district is completely different from here or something?

"If the sequence goes up, there will be a day to know. If we're just going to move, maybe we can go to another district."

To do this, you have to have all the party members, level up, and get strong weapons.

"Speaking of which, who dressed like you were with the rear, anyway?

"She's a Lizardman named Theresia. My profession was unfamiliar, so the receptionist worried about me and gave me a mercenary ticket. I used that to hire you. I'm going to have you officially come into the party."

"It is. You seemed so strong, it would be comforting if you stayed the whole time. I need to level up so I don't pull my legs too."

"I'll help you. When I go exploring tomorrow, I will also explain how I defeated the red one there. Information about the Explorer's skills is lifeline, so don't ask for anything else."

"That's such an amazing way... you're starting to look forward to it. When that red one came out, I thought I didn't want to go into the labyrinth anymore."

That would be traumatic for anyone if Red Face suddenly came out.

"Looks like a party of explorers over there, Badwick, was the target of Redface. Mr. Fifty Storms said he happened to be there."

"Yes... rather than being called out where I defeated Watadama by myself. I'm gonna protect you. He told me to give you the money, and I tried to turn him down."

Speak up to the Junior Seeker and sell thanks. After that, I'm going to have a bad chest just thinking about what the Badwicks are going to do.

"Mr. Fifty Storms, you were using a spear, weren't you? I think Watadama's moving pretty fast, but you've often been able to defeat him by yourself."

"I was in the sword club. I chose the one with the closest shape possible, so I could use it... the red one is hard and broken, so I need to make it different."

"Shall I buy it at the store in front of the labyrinth tomorrow? We need more than just clothes, we need protective gear to put on top of it."

"Ah... right, protective equipment... me, I can't believe I didn't think of that much and spent so much money on clothes... my weapon was broken too"

"Shall we do our best to ensure that our earnings are stable? I'll be busy tomorrow."

We're just finishing up the conversation, and the meeting's over after dinner. Let's go home and rest today - when I thought about it.

"Hey, did you hear that? There's a Death Sword coming to Ward Eight."

"He... has fallen so far through the 'White Night Brigade'"

"Oh, now they're trying to catch a rookie and raise him till he's a thing"

I thought it had nothing to do with the story at first, but when my crush about 'Newbie' got to my ear, I associated myself with the two girls I met today.

(If you mean Elitia and Suzuna... Elitia is the 'Sword of Death (Death Sword)'...?

"It's a chance, don't you think? The top searchers are taking your luggage. If you do it right..."

"Hey, don't talk too pee-pee. We'll talk about it later."

When a man with a scratch on his cheek says whether he's the leader of the party, the men he was talking to change the subject.

"What's going on back there? You look scared."

"No, a little. A reincarnated child at the same time seems to have been in their story...... so far so fine. Let me talk to you tomorrow."

"Yeah... ok. If that's what you say back there."

◆ ◇ ◆

The Nornil Heights baths were divided between men's and women's. Being a junior explorer would use a shared bath in town, so it's convenient to take a bath in your quarters.

I came to take a bath first, but I was quicker back in my room than Mr. Fifty Storms. As I was thinking about earlier at the tavern, I fell asleep in bed, my eyes became heavier and heavier.

(Tired as mud, but comfortable sleepiness... I also feel like I want to stay awake a little more...)

Close your eyes and give yourself up to the sleeper. A while later, when my consciousness was about to fall, the door sounded open.

"Back there, this inn bath is amazing! I thought it might be because it's different worlds, but it's like a proper shampoo and rinse... ah... you were asleep? Sorry, I'll be quiet..."

(... Good for you, Fifty Storms.)

Thoughts but I was too sleepy to speak. I was also thrilled to benefit from the shampoo and rinse, so I wanted to share that - it's the limit now.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Rear."

Pushed back by a gentle voice, I get to sleep. It's been a very long time since someone was in the same room when I went to bed.

- In the bedroom with the lights off, I keep sleeping.

My consciousness surfaced a little, but it doesn't mean I wake up, trying to fall asleep again.

"Hey, hey... back there, hey..."

"... Mmm... Ah, good morning, Mr. Fifty Storms"

When I woke up modestly shaken, there was Mr. Fifty Storms in his sleeping clothes. It's amazing that the beauty level hasn't changed so much.

She stands by her bedside in the dim as she tries to say something and looks at me.

Even when I was in a vertical sweater, I had enough trouble with the place of my eyes, but even in my bedtime clothes, my eyes stopped on my chest. Karma won't go up, but I'll still try to distract you - I want to see it, but I shouldn't.

"... can't you sleep? You know, it has to be your usual pillow or something."

"Well, not... I don't know... I hope you don't feel bad, but you want me to turn my back and sleep..."

"Turn your back...... ah, oh. Did I hit you upside down? I didn't turn around and go to bed."

"Well, I can't help it, so it's not bad for you in the back. When you're sleeping with your back turned over... you mean you care... I think it's weird myself..."

I don't know, but if it bothers you to turn to her and sleep, should you turn around and sleep? Even so, maybe I'll hit the back of my head again.

(... wait. I'm curious to see me from behind... even though I'm sleeping in another bed, you mean 'avant-garde' and 'rear guard' in position...?

Impossible, that's not true - I think so, but if so, I can't explain what she's saying, and what she's ashamed of.

("Supporting Recovery 1" in "Guard" is usually... working all the time, even while you're asleep...?

The indication of a license that confidence has increased is head on. I'm just sleeping in the back like this, and if 'Support Recovery 1' continues to activate every 30 seconds - the next time I'm woken up, probably.

"Wow, I get it. Don't worry, it's definitely not for you."

"... ugh, yeah. Really, please. I'm sorry, it happened like this."

Apologizing softly, Mr. Fifty Storms returns to his bed. I waited until she started to get some sleep and it was time to get out of bed.

(If I slept normally, I would definitely hit a turnaround... just sleep on the couch and I'd like to think the rear guard judgment won't come in. No, I'm not sure it's because of 'support recovery' yet...)

I'll have the bed moved to another room. And I'll be able to sleep tomorrow. Even so, I was able to sleep in bed enough, and the couch isn't harder to sleep than I thought, so I decided to stay asleep.

◆ ◇ ◆

- And in the morning. Before the little lady in the dorm comes to wake me up, I wake up.

"... hmm?

It wasn't cold, so I slept without anything, but at some point I'm being blanketed.

Who did it to me - has Mr. Fifty Storms been awake?

When I looked on the table, I was left with a Japanese note. "I'm gonna catch a cold when I sleep in here," it says.

Will just being behind me increase my trust? I don't want to verify what happens if I gain too much confidence - I don't have a record of my behavior when I go outside the labyrinth.

Let's try sleeping in bed again today, normally. Still, when Mr. Fifty Storms woke me up in the middle of the night, I thought I'd have my bed carried to a separate room then.
