Episode 028 Emergency (Third Party Perspective)

Explorers' Union Toyokawa Branch.

It is a branch of the Explorers' Union that controls the Toyokawa area where Shinomiya Academy is located. Shortly after Fuhito entered the dungeon, the emergency response room of the branch was hit with an emergency.

"Urgent report!! At E-rank dungeon, Shushima Dungeon, a Labyrinth Rebirth has occured!!"

A staff member dressed like a call center operator announces an emergency with a loud voice that echoes in the room. Immediately the atmosphere changes to a nervous one.

"What!? When did this happen!?"

At the unbelievable situation, the man in charge slammed his hand on his desk and stood up from his chair.

"It's about thirty minutes ago."

"Well ... that beginner dungeon has never been 'Rebirthed'. So why now ..."

The man in charge began to mutter with a difficult expression.

Dungeon Rebirth, as the word 'Rebirth' means, it is a phenomenon in which the existing dungeon structure, monsters, items from treasure chests, etc. are all renewed as if the dungeon was reborn.

It's a story that constitutes to an emergency, but the biggest problem is that the structure is remodeled and the monsters change regardless of whether there are explorers inside.

The monsters that are reborn by rebirth are often stronger than before, so if the explorers of the aptitude rank of the original dungeon encounter them, they don't stand a chance. Not only that, there are also cases where the explorer is caught up in the structural changes and dies, and there are also cases where the structure itself has changed adn they are lost or missing.

For that reason, Dungeon Rebirth is a disaster that cannot be overlooked.

"So, what's the situation?"

"Currently, there are seven teams of explorers that cannot be contacted. The other explorers have already escaped."

"Yes. Who is on the search team?"

"We are currently calling for an emergency, but the high-ranked members are out of town, and the turnout is poor."

"Okay. We're heading to the scene!!"

""Yes!!""

Frustrated by the fact that the search team had not yet gathered, the man in charge headed for the dungeon with the members of the emergency response room.

"Everyone, stay away!! It's dangerous here!!"

"We will guide you safely, so don't panic and be noisy!"

"If you are injured, please gather here!!"

When the members of the emergency response room arrived at the scene, people were overflowing and the place was noisy. Many are ordinary people and explorers who were nearby. The ordinary people are humans who were stuck due to the sudden earthquake, and the explorers are humans who have escaped with their lives.

Employees of the Explorers' Union adjacent to the dungeon are guiding and treating injured people.

"Hah ... Hah ... Section Chief Shindou!!"

When the people from the emergency response room got out of the car and approached the staff, one of the staff rushed up and called out to the man in charge, Shindou.

"Oh, Branch Head, what's the situation?"

"Yes. The six teams of explorers that I couldn't contact before have already returned and I have already confirmed their safety. However, I have received a report that there is still one explorer who has not returned yet."

"What!?"

The situation was getting better, but when he heard that there was still one remaining explorer, Shindou shouted.

If there was only one person, the explorers who had escaped in the same way could not help, and it is highly possible that they were attacked by a monster or swallowed by the dungeon.

"And? The name of the person?"

"Satou Fuhito ... He's a High school student who just became an explorer."

"What the hell ..."

How could a lone young man with a bright future ahead of him lose his life in a Dungeon Rebirth, that only happens once every few years.

Shindou was full of unbearable feelings.

However, he cannot give up without looking for him.

"Okay, you guys!! We're looking for that Satou!!"

""Yes!!""

The members of the Emergency Response Room formed a line towards the entrance to the dungeon, and as they tried to enter, a figure emerged from the darkness of the dungeon.

"Huh? What happened that you guys have such scary faces?"

The young man who appeared muttered while he tilted his head in puzzlement.
