Chapter 71 – Episode 71 – The Secret of the Dungeon
Again I plummeted down with the surrounding floor collapsing.
And the sight seen while falling was the 11th sight.
Debris from the dungeon floor that crumbles and falls all around.
And what you see below is a magic circle that looks like a huge barrier and a huge hole in between that I probably broke.
“Ohhhhh!”
“This…!?”
Kelvan’s cry and the guild leader’s startled voice were heard from above.
I turned over and looked up.
Mr. Kelvan and the guild leader were surprised with their eyes wide open.
Noah was just smiling as if he was used to it because he had experienced the same thing as me several times.
Elsie closed her eyes tightly, holding her boots and hat her with her left hand, and her right hand her on his chest her, clenched into a tight fist.
And it seemed that she was saying something small with her mouth puckering.
Are you praying to Solisin?
Then I saw a very important scene.
As she fell, the wind blew away, and Elsie’s priestly robe fluttered very violently.
Elsie’s apprentice priest’s uniform is very desirable, like a china dress, with open thighs.
What would happen if that dress fluttered and fluttered violently in the wind?
Yes, you can get a glimpse of Elsie’s white panties.
To borrow the words of the country of origin of the so-called manga, it is a phenomenon called panchira.
Last night, before we had sex, I took a good look at Elsie’s underwear in her.
Seeing your underwear her is arousing and boosts your libido.
However, underwear seen in such an unintended situation is to further enhance the feeling of happiness that has been caught along with sexual desire!
First of all, it’s a coincidence, but let’s thank Elsie.
Thanks, Elsie!
Thank you very much!
I used the high-speed thought rotation used when delusional, and after fully appreciating Elsie’s panties, I shouted to Mr. Kelvan and the guild leader.
“If you go through that hole, you can see the next level! And the wreckage disappears the moment it passes through the hole!”
“Is that really it!”
“Amazing…”
Turning over, I passed through the hole.
And I learned something new.
When I saved Elsie, I didn’t know because I was only looking down, but when I looked up at the hole I had drilled from below, a pretty unrealistic scene unfolded.
A part of the blue sky cracked and opened a hole, as if glass had been broken, and nothing could be seen inside the hole.
When I opened my eyes wide in surprise, Mr. Kelvan, the guild leader, and Noah also looked up.
“A hole in the sky…”
“Wow, that’s right!”
“…”
Mr. Kelvan was surprised, Noah admired, and the guild leader did not say anything.
Elsie kept her eyes closed.
Cute.
However, if you keep your eyes closed, you may not know when you will use your parachute.
I shouted at the guild leader,
“Guild leader! Can I use my parachute now?”
“Yeah, now pigna!”
I shouted at Elsie.
“Elsie! Pull the string!”
Elsie opened her eyes tight at the sound of my voice her.
“Rae, Rant! Kyaa, kyaaak! Floating, falling!”
“Elsie! Pull the string! Pull the string attached to the parachute!”
“Shut up, a string? Oh okay! If you pull this…”
Elsie pulled the strap of her parachute.
Whoops!
When the string was pulled, the parachute was released and deployed.
“Kyaaaaah!”
The parachute opened and the speed of the fall suddenly changed, causing Elsie to scream.
As the parachute unfolded, Elsie’s fall began to slow down.
“Great! Then me too! Eight!”
Noah also opened the parachute by pulling the string of the parachute.
Then, in turn, Mr. Kelvan and the guild leader opened the parachute, and I also turned my body back down and pulled the rope.
Whoops!
As the parachute deployed, we slowly descended to the third floor.
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t bad to see the scenery on the third floor while going down slowly.
Then someone down below was waving at us.
“Guild leader~! I do!”
The man who appeared to be a male adventurer was calling the guild leader.
“Rant, go down there.”
“All right.”
But even if you go down, you have no choice but to fall in the end.
I never learned to change direction with a parachute.
Fortunately, we were able to drop close to the waving adventurers.
But.
“Do, help me!”
Unfortunately, Elsie’s parachute got caught in a tree.
Elsie struggles and sees her panties again.
It’s cute. And thank you!
“Noah, I’ll take Elsie. Take your inventory and store the parachute hanging from the tree.”
“Okay!”
Noah put the inventory I gave him around his waist and quickly climbed the tree.
I went to the tree where Elsie was hanging and moved right under her.
“Elsie, stay still. Because Rant will accept it.”
“Yes, Noah. Thanks.”
“If you do one or two, I’ll put the parachute in your inventory.”
“Yes.”
“One!”
Shuuk!
Noah shouted her one and promptly stowed her parachute.
“Kyaaaaa!
I caught the falling Elsie with both hands in what is known as a princess hug.
“Are you okay, Elsie?”
“Rant…”
Elsie blushed slightly, cupped her hands on her chest, and looked at me passionately.
What do we do.
The guild leader, Mr. Kelvan, and one other adventurer want to kiss Elsie.
Shall I do it secretly?
Then Noah hurriedly came down from the tree.
“Oh~ To receive a princess hug from Lant. I envy Elsie~.”
Noah chuckled as he placed her hand in her pod on the back of her head.
Elsie glared at Noah, puffing out her cheeks slightly.
“You are too much, Noah! I am really surprised!”
“Hee hee, sorry.”
“Really…”
“Elsie, I’ll get off.”
“Ah…”
As I was about to unload Elsie, Elsie grabbed Leijifang’s skin.
“Joe, can we stay like this for a little while?”
Not a little bit, maybe even an hour.
It’s difficult because I really want to kiss you.
“Elsie~ I understand that feeling, but there are other people here, so let’s come down?”
“Ugh… Yes Yes! Rae, Rant, drop me off!”
It must have been erased from my head that there was a guild leader and Mr. Kelvan when I fell.
I think that kind of Elsie is cute too!
After putting Elsie down, we go to the guild leader, Mr. Kelvan, and the adventurer man… When I was running, I walked to the place where there was a person who I thought was the microphone the guild leader said.
“Guild leader, who is that person?”
“This guy is said to be Mike, who cooperated with me to observe the destruction of the dungeon. Mike, what was it like when you saw it?”
“Yes, guild leader. The sky split with a roar, and the guild leader and others appeared to come out of the black hole.”
“You mean you couldn’t see the second floor at all?”
“Yes, that’s right. Guild Master. Indeed, the dungeon in the direction the explorer pointed… Are you sure you destroyed it?”
“Yeah, that’s right. It started when this navigator pointed right down.”
“In that case too… That hypothesis must be correct.”
“Yes, I think so too. Kelvan, what did the magic circle look like to you?”
“It was a very advanced magic circle, so I couldn’t understand it. What I didn’t know was that it was related to space magic… It is said that it is an absurd object that cannot be realized as a human being.”
“Hmm… The cooperation of the wizard guild will also be necessary for that.”
The guild leader, Mr. Kelvan, and Mr. Mike were talking with serious faces.
My role is over by destroying the dungeon.
“There… Guild leader.”
“Yes? Oh, why, Rant.”
“Is this all I have to do?”
“Ah, yes. Thank you so much for your cooperation this time, Rant. It seems that a secret of the dungeon has been solved thanks to you.”
“The secret of the dungeon?”
“Yes. Didn’t you say that the magic tool arrived at Elsie’s side while destroying the floor in the direction it pointed down?”
“Yes.”
“But don’t you think it’s strange? From each floor, you have to travel a long distance to get to the next floor. However, you proceeded by destroying the dungeon in a straight line up to the 13th floor, which should have been much further away.”
“Ah…”
It was a strange thing to hear.
To get to the next floor, you have to go a long way.
When I saved Elsie, I thought it was a dungeon, so I thought I could find it quickly because it was in a straight line…
Seriously thinking about it, that was a crazy idea.
“Common sense makes it impossible. However… Dungeon here. It is said to have been created by the god of vane, and it is a den of infinitely generated monsters filled with mysteries. And thanks to you, one of the many mysteries of the dungeon has been revealed.”
“What is that mystery…”
The guild leader said with a very serious expression.
“The moment they descend the stairs to the next floor, the adventurers will be transported by space magic. If you go down the next floor, there is not a place connected in a straight line… Only the top and bottom positions are different, and you end up moving to the seat with the warp device on the upper floor.”
“Ah…!”
Certainly, that would explain why I was able to save Elsie by destroying the dungeon in a straight line.
If the dungeon divides the space of the same range into several, and each time you go to the next floor, only the top and bottom are different, and you go to the first location, it is natural that the magic tool on the 3rd floor points down in a straight line.
“Response of this navigator pointing straight down. And the huge magic circle you saw when you destroyed the dungeon… Because I discovered these two, I was able to get a conjecture close to certainty that advanced space magic is being used in this dungeon.”
“The guild leader helped me. I’m glad. Then we’ll leave.”
Behind the guild leader, Mr. Kelvan and Mr. Mike can be seen having a hard discussion.
I’m sure if you stay here, we won’t understand what you’re talking about, and we won’t be able to help you any longer.
If so, we could earn money by catching kobolds on the 3rd floor as usual.
He bowed his head and said he would leave this place.
The guild leader said with a soft smile.
“Okay, good luck.”
“Let’s go, Elsie, Noah.”
“Yes.”
“Yes!”
I said to Mr. Kelvan, who was having a hard discussion.
“Mr. Kelvan, we’re on our way!”
“Oh, yes, Rant! Have a good trip!”
Upon receiving Mr. Kelvan’s greeting, I remembered something I almost forgot.
“Oh, Noah. Give me your inventory.”
“Yes, here.”
After getting the inventory back from Noah, I took out the parachute from the inventory.
“I’ll leave the parachute here!”
“I got it!”
After being greeted by Mr. Kelvan, we went to hunt kobolds as usual.
“Wait a minute, Rant.”
Then the guild leader called me.
“Why are you like this, guild leader?”
“Hehe, maybe it’s because I’m old, there was a story I forgot about.”
“Anything you forgot?”
The guild leader nodded his head.
“Yes. Rant, about your rank. You’ve caught rookie killers. And he has enough skills to subdue novice killers who were veteran B-rank adventurers without getting hurt. Considering this alone, it can be said that it is enough for you to be promoted to A rank. And that power you just saw… In terms of skill, you already have an S rank or higher.”
S rank.
It is definitely the highest rank that an adventurer can reach.
“To… S rank…”
“What? What? Are you promoting to Rant S rank?”
Elsie opened her mouth in surprise, and Noah’s eyes lit up.
The guild leader shook his head.
“Unfortunately, that is not the case. Rant, do you know that you just got promoted from rank F to rank C?”
“Yes.”
“Actually, that is very unusual. I was able to pass because Lenny and Kelvan recommended you. But more… Starting from B rank, you need to complete the same quests and achievements as other adventurers.
Of course, catching rookie killers is a great achievement, but… I’m sorry to say this to you, but it’s difficult to promote you to B rank or higher right now.”
“Why is that?”
“Through this incident, the adventurer’s guild is thinking of setting the standard for promotion even more strictly. Beginner killers are also veteran B-class adventurers… After all, they are the ones who passed the promotion standard. We plan to further strengthen the standards for advancement so that such people do not appear in the future.
Of course, even by that standard, if it’s your achievements, you can easily reach B rank. However, the number of successful quests and the difficulty level are not enough for you to become a B rank. Besides, it’s procedurally difficult for you, who just got promoted to C rank, to go up to B rank right away.”
I could barely understand what he meant.
Storm promotion from F rank to C rank.
No matter how many achievements I have accumulated, it would be strange in terms of procedure to be promoted again in a few days, and above all, it would lack credibility.
Reliability is indicated by the number of requests completed and the difficulty of the requests.
It can be said that public trust is not enough to jump over the standard of trust that has been built up so far just because you caught a heinous criminal and get promoted.
To be honest, it doesn’t matter if I don’t upgrade.
It’s a promotion, you just have to go on an adventure step by step…
More than anything, it’s a bit like the difference between Elsie and Noah in terms of grades.
“So there is no promotion for you this time. I am really sorry.”
The guild leader apologized to me while lowering his head.
“No, guild leader. If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do about it. Please raise your head.”
“… Thank you for your understanding, Rant.”
The guild leader gave a gentle smile and spoke to Elsie and Noah next to me.
“Ah, and Elsie and Noah. Have you guys been promoted?”
“Yes, I did it once on the third floor.”
“Thanks to Rant, I was able to do it quickly!”
“Right…Then Elsie, Noah. I’ll admit that as an adventurer, you can do your part well enough for those of you who caught more than 60 kobolds in one day as a party along with the achievement of being promoted. As proof of that, Elsie and Noah. As the guild leader, I will acknowledge your promotion to D rank right here. Get the dog tags from Lenny tomorrow.”
“Yes!?”
“Eeeeeng!?”
Elsie and Noah were promoted to D rank by the guild leader.
It’s sudden, but… Congratulations, Elsie! Noah!
