第７３掘：反省を活かす (Part2)
"It’s alright. We still have the healers who were trained by Elju and Rurua remaining here."
"Yes, and if anything happens, they can contact us via Call, so there’s no need to worry too much."
Elju and the others from the clinic arrive as well. Ah, she goes by the name Elju, but since she’s using a transformation art to alter her appearance, it seems people think she’s just someone else with the same name.
That makes everyone.
As we were all chatting together, Milly arrived, bringing members of the Adventurer Guild with her.
"Everyone’s here, right? Let’s see... yep, that’s everyone. Let me introduce them again. This is the head of this dungeon’s Adventurer Guild, Guild Master Rock. And this is the Vice Guild Master, Kina."
"I am truly grateful that you representatives have taken the time to come here in person."
"P-please, treat us well!!"
The Masters bowed their heads to us.
Wait, why is Narjia-san here with Milly and the others?
"I’ve been put in charge of the dungeon’s item-related affairs this time, so I’m on the guild’s side."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. It’s quite interesting, isn't it? To have the items we created ourselves be treated as treasures of the dungeon."
As we were speaking lightly, Seraria-sama stood up from the sofa to offer a greeting.
"I don't think introductions are necessary for us. Now, Rock-dono, Kina-dono, thank you for coming to this dungeon. I hope we can maintain a good relationship with the Adventurer Guild moving forward."
"Not at all. This matter has been incredibly helpful for the Adventurer Guild as well. To think that creating a dungeon ourselves could be this convenient..."
Just as Rock was responding to Seraria-sama, the door was kicked open.
"Wait a damn minute!! Why are we the ones in the exploration group?!"
Ah, I’d forgotten about Mauve and his party.
It’s because these people basically don't help with operations; they just lounge around their homes in the Adventurer District or relax at the inn. I’ve heard their roles from Yuki-san and understand the reasoning, but I still feel a bit unsatisfied about it.
"What are you talking about? You haven't been working while you've been here, so you’d better work hard this time."
"Guh."
"You’re Rank 8 adventurers; you’re perfect for evaluating this dungeon."
"But still, there’s no point in us diving into our own dungeon, is there? How about one of the other dungeons the girls made?"
That’s true. Mauve and his group had also created a dungeon.
"Um, won't it be difficult to get a proper evaluation for Mauve-san and the others since they have designated protection?"
"Don't worry about that. I’ve got Mauve and his team specializing in clearing my dungeon."
"Ehh!?"
Ah, there are six teams that created dungeons, and there are eight dungeons in total. That leaves two empty. However, one of those is being used by Milly and the Adventurer Guild as a training dungeon. The very last dungeon... was the one Yuki-san created.
"Don't make such a sour face. It’s a proper dungeon. It can be cleared. Well, if you try hard enough. Due to the designated protection, the dungeon monsters are in 'safety mode' this time... I’ve given them stun guns, so I think it’ll be easier than usual, right?"
"You idiot!! I’ve seen the documents for your dungeon, and there’s nothing safe about it!! The average level of the monsters on the first floor is 20!? It’s 50 on the tenth floor!! And the bottom floor, the 30th, is level 120, isn't it?!"
"You guys have reached level 100 by now, so just do your best."
"That's impossible!! A stun gun means you're out if you even get grazed!!"
...Good luck, everyone.
"By the way, what about the safety of the other adventurers?"
When I asked that while looking at Rock, he nodded and explained.
"Seraria-sama has entrusted us with Return Rings for this occasion only. While we are prioritizing the evaluation, we have been told to clear the dungeons if possible. Naturally, there is a possibility of death, but thanks to the rings, I believe that risk is kept to an absolute minimum."
"I see."
"Rock-dono, have you finished explaining this to the adventurers?"
As I was nodding in understanding, Seraria-sama checked with the Master.
"Yes, the distribution of which adventurers are going to which dungeon is already complete. All that’s left is to receive permission to proceed."
"Then, I grant you permission. During the evaluation, we shall have the Adventurer Guild explain how they intend to handle dungeons in the future. I suspect the one question Eris asked won't be enough."
And so, at Seraria-sama’s suggestion, the adventurers began clearing their respective dungeons, and we stayed behind to listen to the explanation.
Oh, an alarm just went off—there’s an intruder in our dungeon.
This is going to be fun.
This is the reason for the chaos.
And thus, the dungeon evaluation has begun!!
Honestly, I’m torn between whether I should write this from the perspective of the adventurers or the teams that created each dungeon. lol
Ah, as for Mauve and his crew... may they rest in peace.
