"Sohow, I managed to finish it safely."
When I returned to the outside of the Isolated Demon Tower by the transfer magic, I muttered with a voice that was mixed with relief and dissatisfaction.
Because it would be troubleso if I were to be discovered by the person who was sent to investigate this dungeon, I used [Stealth] and left that place.
Along the way, I suddenly wondered whether I could enter the Isolated Demon Tower once again using [Transfer Within Dungeon] or not. But, since it would be troubleso if another quest started, I decided to stop trying to do that this ti.
Rather than that, I took my smartphone from [Item Box] and noticed that there was a ssage from Hana.
"This is bad. I lost the sense of the dates in the middle of capturing, and it seems today was the day of Hanas dungeon exercise. Because you didn't co back no matter how much ti passed, I'll go ahead, okay?' Was written in the ssage but The place was the sa as the last ti, Sumifuku Dungeon, huh. Since it's pretty close, I guess I'll go there just in case."
Although there was a part of that wanted to take a bath first and relax, since I've acquired cleaning magic during capture and had been using it diligently, there should be no problem regarding dirt on my body and clothes.
If I was still told that I stink even with this, your Onii-chan surely will die.
"Well, whatever, let's just go right away."
Such being the case, I headed to Sumifuku Dungeon.
As I arrived at Sumifuku Dungeon after several tens of minutes of walking, an uncomfortable feeling assaulted .
There were too many people at the entrance. Or rather, I've seen those people before. They're the students and their escorts who took the dungeon training with Hana the other day.
What's even stranger was that all of them displayed an expression as if they're being attacked by fear and uneasiness.
And
"Where is Hana?"
I realized that I couldn't discover the figure of Hana among them even though normally she should have been with them.
Then, I caught and asked a relatively calm man who was nearby.
"Excuse , what happened?"
"Eh? Y-yes, actually"
Hearing the continuation of his words, my heartbeat accelerated.
A few hours ago.
"Onii-chan still hasn't co back!!"
One morning, several days after Rin left their ho, Hana suddenly yelled in the living room. And she puffed out her cheeks.
It was natural that she had such reactions. Today was the day for the dungeon exercise after all.
"Onii-chan did say he might not be in ti but, I didn't think he really wouldnt co back. There has been no contact in the last few days too. Really, what a troubleso Onii-chan."
While muttering such things, soon it was the ti for her to depart. Thus, Hana hurriedly finishes her preparation and leaves her ho.
"At least, send a ssage. When I co back, I'll complain to Onii-chan. Yes, let's do that."
Then, Hana headed to today's gathering place which was Sumifuku Dungeon.
When she arrived at Sumifuku Dungeon, about half of the previous number of participants had gathered there. Its probably because the people who failed to acquire status last ti werent here. Incidentally, most of them ca with their escorts too.
Suddenly, Hana turned her sight to the very conspicuous tower that entered her sight from a while ago.
"That too, is more or less a dungeon, right?"
A huge tower that suddenly appeared a few days ago. It was so close to Sumifuku Dungeon to the extent one could go there by walking.
According to the experts, that tower was most likely a dungeon too. However, the gate to enter the dungeon wasn't found, causing the investigation to hardly progress. And because the top of the tower extends above the clouds, it couldnt be inspected.
"Well, rather than thinking about that, I have to think about myself first. Today, I'm going to defeat the monsters after all. I have to do my best."
Toward Hana who had such fresh motivation, soone approached.
"Good morning, Amane-san."
"Ah! Etto"
It was soone from the Adventurer Association who was also here last ti. Hana was trying to squeeze the na of this person from the corners of her mory.
(I rember!)
"If I'm not mistaken, Yanagi-san, right? Long ti no see."
"Yes, I look forward to working with you today too. By the way, are you alone today?"
He was probably asking whether Rin was accompanying her or not and Hana could only nod with a bitter smile.
"Yes. Actually, my brother has been away from ho for a few days But since he has taught many things in advance, I'm sure I will be fine alone!"
"Is that so That's unfortunate."
"? Y-yes"
Although feeling a sense of discomfort with the flow of the conversation, Hana, who judged what he ant it was unfortunate that Rin wasn't here, once again nodded.
While they were having such conversations, Katagiri of the Adventurer Association announced to the ones who were here just like the last ti.
"Well then, after this were going to conduct the dungeon exercise. Although the monsters will be a little stronger since we're going deeper than the last ti, there is no need to worry as we will be there too. Please act without panicking."
Then, with Katagiri at the front, the people entered the gate one after another. Naturally, Hana hurriedly chased after everyone, so she wouldnt fall behind.
"Yes, that's very unfortunatereally"
Probably because of that. The small mutters behind her never reached Hana's ears.
