World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

The upper guild of District Seven is divided into three buildings. It was a measure to avoid congestion, as it is difficult to respond in one building to the 10,000 seekers who are 'attackers'.

The building we're going to use is called the "Green Hall," and as its name suggests, the roof is painted green. On three floors, each level has a room for Alliance officers and Explorers to meet, but we had access to the first floor. From 1001st in sequence, they're upstairs, and from 2001, they have to go up to the third floor - even though they can move to each floor in response to requests from the adventurers.

"If you could get a reception on the ground floor, it would be helpful to travel with less effort."

"Because your brother was always, you know, reporting to me alone. We'd be glad to have you back a little sooner too ~"

"... hmm? I thought Misaki would tear something up, but it's rare that it isn't."

"Uh, what is it? You already think I'm always saying nasty things?

"I have an image that's more or less like that, but you're not"

"Say that... Oh, is that a lightning hide? It's a shade, isn't it? If you're my brother, I'm not being honest."

You're nervous because you're in the new district - but when you can connect so innocently, I honestly don't feel bad.

"While I give you a break, thank you for the tin. And I'm glad you're okay now."

"I wish the party could have been organized by more than nine people. Ellie, is there a reason you can't do this?

"Skills that work for 'people from the same party' can only work up to eight people. Even if we can act together, I don't think Alicht's skills will be effective after the ninth."

Constant use of 'azar assist' against the ninth person and beyond is too intense a drain of magic. With members without my support, the danger will be even greater, and the basics should be up to eight people into the labyrinth.

"... but right. So you can also think of diving at multiple parties. Has Ms. Louisa seen quite a few examples of that before?

I ask Luisa for her opinion. She seemed nervous in her new workplace, but smiles happily when she speaks up.

"Yes, some people are working together in multiple parties from Hesheng (hey hey hey), not to defeat powerful demons like 'Juggernaut'. The massive ones are called 'alliances' or 'brigades' and exist as mutual aid organisations for explorers"

Elitia was also formerly part of the "White Night Brigade". I wonder if we'll ever be part of an organization in the future.

Or I can start my own - I can also think of a current buddy putting me in for nine, and in some cases even more.

"From District Seven, some parties jointly head to the labyrinth to lower the risk of exploration. We don't always act together, but just because we have a party in the same labyrinth that can help, things change completely."

"Sometimes parties of the same character ask for something in return, but I think a party of the same size can be organized without that kind of thing. The more we go to the Upper District, the more important the interests really become and the harder it is to organize in a reciprocal relationship..."

I guess that's what Elitia couldn't do with the help of other parties to help her companions - it's hard to imagine that in a situation where even members of the brigade to which she belongs don't give rescue, other parties will come to the rescue knowing the danger.

It's certainly comforting to have a party to work with. I don't know if 'North Star' can catch up to us, but if we get to know any other parties, if we can have a friendly relationship, that would be a thankful story.

(Little has ever been done to obtain information from other parties. If possible, a member with good speaking skills will be added...)

Think of it that way, and look at Mr. Luisa. Because I figured if she was a "receptionist," she'd be good at speaking.

"Oh, um... Dear A, Atobe, the new workplace is right in front of you, and if it's a serious story, again after work..."

"Ah...... yes, no, I'm sorry. Were you so close to seeing me?"

"Back there, you've had sharp eyes from time to time for a while. Because of some kind of skill?

"'Eye of the Eagle' was skillful, and it might have an impact... but no, you'd be scared if you'd been giddy from time to time. I'll be careful."

I don't know if it's a white spot, but the most important thing to worry about in partying with the women is gaining trust anyway. Don't be disappointed just because you care about Mr. Louisa's skills.

"... I'm like the exclusive receptionist for Atobe, so if there's anything I can offer you, I won't hesitate, will I?

"SEE, EXCLUSIVE...... Oh, but you do. They're coming up with us from the Eighth Ward."

"Yes, I hope we will continue to do so in the future. It's a promising rookie party, because we have priority clearance from the guild."

Priority permission means that you will put our business first. That's very gratifying - because when you have a large population like District Seven, the waiting time in order seems spicy.

"Then don't hesitate to let me rely on you as an exclusive. I'm still a newbie, but I know how important time is to the Seeker."

"Yes, I'll take care of it. When it's exclusive, the dormitories can use the same place, so if I have a room for one, I can live in the same place."

"Oh, that's good. In some cases, you can still meet at night."

"Ha, yes...... I think Master Atobe will continue to be very busy, if you can call me anytime. I'll also add my contact information to your license."

The most convenient of the functions of the license would be this liaison function. Not just anyone can use it, but they need dedicated skills.

"My profession, the 'receptionist', has a number of skills in the 'contact' system. I've never registered a particular party before because I can only get in touch with the party I signed up for, but now that I'm exclusive, there's no impediment."

"Thank you. No, you feel different when you can get in touch."

"Yes... I'm the one... and... do..."

Louisa said something in a small voice, but she couldn't hear me very well. As a receptionist and explorer, do you mean to continue?

"... Sister Kyoka, don't you think your brother is vicious sometimes?

"Oh, no... well, if I did the same thing, that would be fine..."

"Fine...? Kyoka, what's fine?

"Fuck, fine. Berry Welle, in English."

"The language of my country is not English...?

"Contact Mr. Alicht… I, too, with the help of Mr. Ariadne…"

I never had a woman ask me for contact information in my previous life, but I hear there is demand now. I wonder what you're talking about at the same party.

◆ ◇ ◆

We went into the Green Hall and decided to wait in the lobby while Mr. Louisa arranged a room.

"Compared to 8th arrondissement, a lot of people seem to be wearing strong gear... I wonder if you could buy a spear somewhere"

"The equipment at the store is of better quality than in Ward VIII, but it can't be anything in a crate or processed with materials available in the labyrinth. If it's a good idea to replace it when it's broken... oh, but if 'silver' gear is in stock, I think you can buy it. Not so hard, but because we can deal with the enemies of the spiritual system"

Everyone is listening with a serious face to the story of an experienced elitist. Now that the material has been talked about, I am worried about it.

"Sabre tickets are made of metal called 'Chris Dite', they say, but is this a metal that can be used for weapons? No, I won't cast or dissolve the ticket."

"There are a limited number of workshops that have furnaces that can be processed, but they say they are better materials than the 'High Mithrill' I have equipped. It can only be found in some of the ore piles, but it's very valuable because of its low output. It's a waste of use for weapons, so there are more popular materials used in the upper districts." Glow Gold "or" Heavenly Stills "... these are precious after all."

There are a number of metals worth more than gold - of which I'd like to try to equip myself with more slingshots and protective gear than a highmythrill.

"Back there, look... a lot of people over there, apparently building 'organizations'"

"Apparently, you do...... state 24 people, about 3 parties"

One of those parties, a young man with grey hair, speaks to the women who were in front of the lobby bulletin board.

"Kaede, what are you still saying about looking for company elsewhere? You're saying if you join our alliance, you can pull them up to District Six in turn."

"I'm telling you, if we can get together, we'll find them ourselves. You're in a lot of trouble because you're covering the first floor of that labyrinth."

(Um, the woman with the machete on her back... and the other two are Japanese. I haven't seen much since I got into 7th arrondissement...)

"Hey, don't do this, Kaede. Sorry, we decided to recruit people we could organize ourselves..."

"Joining our alliance and springing and crushing on the ground floor of that labyrinth is the most efficient way to earn a contribution. All you have to do is pass the promotion exam, and Mr. Roland's party goes up there and the sequence is empty. With that repetition…"

When it comes to gushing, is it the image of slapping demons every time they gush - if they do hit the lead, they will be stable, but I have the impression that they are too thorough in efficiency?

"I guess that's the way it works, because we can't pay you guys back or anything,"

The third woman is tanned and what can I say - she is normally equipped with bikini armor, but is her defense okay? To see, he's dressed as a former swimmer or a beach volleyball player.

The fourth was not Japanese, but a girl with impressive blue silver hair. It carries a leather case on its back - a distinctive shape, but is it a kind of stick?

"My boss is like that, so you have no choice. It's okay, if you can get up to District Six just enough to hang out for a drink every once in a while."

"Ha... let's talk about it. You think your leader doesn't know how much you're making girls cry in District Seven?

"Ma, wait, Kaede. It's no good selling a fight here."

"Ibuki...... but you regret it, like this. Someone can occupy the labyrinth."

"If your party is strong, you don't have to choose the labyrinth. It would be tough just coming up to the top...... cum. Well, our alliance keeps diving to The Beach of the Sun for another two weeks. There's nothing wrong with us monopolizing the demons that gush over there, is there?

"Huh...!

Somehow I figured out the story - that party of a girl named Kaede has just come up to the top guild and can't dive into a labyrinth of difficulty.

Among the labyrinths that searchers belonging to the top guilds can go to, the one called 'Alliance', to which the grey-haired man belongs, occupies where contributions and so on can be made most efficiently.

In return for joining the Alliance, attend an Alliance drinking party. But Kaede refuses to do so - it's a story we don't know.

There will be many women who are resistant, even if they are merely poured alcohol without refusal. Instead of the other way around, 'many women have been made to cry' suggests the evil femininity of a person named Roland.

"Now, if you change your mind, come over there. If you could get my permission, I wouldn't have to introduce you to Mr. Roland... Ha ha ha ha...!

From the beginning, I guess I didn't think I could solicit the Kaedes this time. With the help of 'Alliance' and their organizational skills, those grey hairs are trying to keep them as they please.

"... unforgivable. I can't believe these people's organizations are at the top of District 7..."

Mr. Fifty Storms is as angry as he is about me - so is everyone else. Of course I feel the same way.

I'm not thinking of eliminating the top guys, etc., but I have a lot of doubts about how to do it.

Then we need to decide what to do - first, which labyrinth we're going to. If you don't have to be in the same labyrinth as the Alliance, you don't have to think about them, and if you really want to engage with the Alliance, you have to work out measures to figure out how to make a contribution and attack the labyrinth.

Are we in a situation where the four of us can help each other? A valid proposal cannot be made unless the ground is consolidated.

"... Kaede, what do we do?

"I'm so sorry to be so flattered by those guys, we are. As long as I do that, I'll brush my arms even if it takes me some time to get back to District Eight."

"But... if you're a demon in the Eighth Ward, you'll have less experience and a greater amount to drop. You can't be strong forever."

"Ibuki, what would you like? Do you put up with what they do to you? We absolutely don't like it, or I'll bite your tongue if a man touches you who doesn't even admit it. Do it, Sister Lyoko."

"It wasn't decided that it would... I'd like to say. Roland is pretty notorious as he sits in the 7th arrondissement... if he drinks at his place, an aunt like me won't be targeted, but you guys..."

"Lyoko is only 28 years old. Isn't it early to say" aunt "?

The oldest tanned woman is twenty-eight, and the silver-haired girl, from what I've seen, is only a teenager. Are the children of Kaed and Ibuki about the same age? Misaki, Suzuna and I don't look so far apart.

"Thank you, Anna. When you are a Seeker, you feel better because of the use of magic or the tension on your skin than before you were reincarnated..."

"Ha... Sister Lyoko, your skin is important, but for now, you have to decide what to do."

"That's right... hmm... ah"

A short-haired girl called Ibuki notices us in the same lobby.

"... those people, rookies or idiots?

"Ugh, yeah. Probably... Looks like you're new to this guild."

"This... isn't a chance? It's a party with lots of girls... and the guy behind it seems quiet."

"Negotiate, will you? I generally agree. Because I don't like to ask a man like Gray."

Grey haired Gray, I thought it might stay that way, but I found out the name of the guy earlier. I would love to blow one bubble at a time, but I'm not exploring it for it.

Trying to get near the bulletin board, the four Kaedes walk over here. Kaede's serious gaze at the beginning showed that the story that was about to begin was very important to them - although it was going to be the same for us.
