Episode 143: Dungeon level up

"Do you always dive from here?"

"That's right."

"Hee ~."

Five people enter the narrow playground equipment in the park. As expected, there are five people including High School students and an adult who can't be called children anymore, so it's quite small.

Amane looks curiously at the inside of the playground equipment.

It's not bad to be sandwiched between cute girls, but we have to move quickly.

"We're all here, so let's dive into the shadows."

"Hmm."

"Yes."

"Got it."

"Understood."

When I check with everyone, each of them respond, so I give orders to Luck and sink us all into the shadows.

"Hee ~ !! It's so strange!!"

Amane, who was curiously looking at the playground equipment until just now, is now looking around in the shadows.

"It's true that you can't notice this. I might not even notice it."

"Huh!? Really?"

I am completely surprised at the S-rank's words.

Luck's stealth ability is so high. When it met me, it was a normal Boss, and it never did anything to hide. Why didn't it use it.

It's strange.

"Yeah. This should be pretty stealthy. I don't think anyone will know unless it's seen. I'm a covert explorer too, so I know."

"Huh!? Rei is a cover type?"

Surprised by the sudden reveal, I look at Rei.

Although she wears light scout-like clothing, she stands out overwhelmingly because of her appearance. I honestly think anyone could find her.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Eh, no, Rei is beautiful and stands out, so I thought she wouldn't be suitable for hiding."

"~~ !?"

When I tell Rei, who was a little angry, what I thought, she turns bright red and goes silent.

Oh, maybe I said something weird.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's rude of me to say that."

"N, no, I don't mind."

When I scratch my head and apologize, Rei turns away with a red face.

"Aaaahhhh!! No flirting!! Banned!!"

Nanami bursts into such a place.

This guy has a strange misunderstanding.

"No, I'm not."

"Y, yeah. We're not flirting with each other."

"No way!! I felt the aura of flirting just now!!"

Even if Rei and I deny it, Nanami glares at me.

It's just that I said something strange, but it's nice to have a strange suspicion.

"We weren't. Rather than that, let's go to the dungeon. Everyone, please follow me."

"Buubuu. Yes."(TN:Pouting.)

Neglecting the reluctant Nanami, I give instructions to Luck, who is still in the shadows, and start advancing into the dungeon.

"Arrived."

"Huh? We're already here."

"So fast ..."

"It's only a few hundred meters."

When I give orders to Luck to send everyone out of the shadows, it was a familiar dungeon ... or so it should have been.

However, for some reason it seems that things are different.

Ah, is that what it is.

I notice that the enemies here are Super Bonus monsters starting on the first floor, just like the stray dungeon. It seems that the E-rank Bonus Dungeon was upgraded to a D-rank Bonus Dungeon.

"Shia, this place is the same level as the stray dungeon. This will give you a lot of experience points."

"Hmm. Looking forward to it."

When I whisper to Shia that the enemies in the Shushima Dungeon have changed into Super Bonus monsters from the first floor, just like in the stray dungeon, Shia smiles a little.

Her ahoge jumps happily.

"What's wrong with you?'

"No, it's nothing. Then, let's move on."

I shake my head and answer Amane who was whispering in Shia's ear.

It's meaningless to say that an E-rank dungeon became a D-rank dungeon for both a B-rank and an S-rank explorer. Besides, Nanami only did the stray dungeon. She'll think it's the same thing, so no explanation is needed.

"Well then, let's start leveling up right away. It's okay because they're not very strong. If the four of us other than Nanami encounter an enemy, let's take them down one by one."

"Hmm."

"Yes."

Shia and Nanami reply to my words, but I can't hear their voices anymore.

Ah, should I really be the one in charge since I'm low rank.

"Ah, Amane and Rei, I'm sorry. I ended up deciding on my own."

"It's totally fine. I'm just wondering if we don't have to decide the formation or something."

"Ah, I don't mind either, you know? I thought it would be fine if I don't go out to scout."

When I lower my head, the two of them tell me what they are thinking.

What, is that so.

"Oh, it's totally fine. They're weak here."

The enemy is too weak to create a formation. Because they can be defeated in one shot anyway.

"Y, yes. I have no problem with that."

"Is that so. Can I observe for a while?"

For some reason, the two of them answer with tense faces.

"Understood. For the time being, me, Shia, and Rei will annihilate the enemy. Nanami and Amane will be observing at first. Then I'll apply for a party, so please approve it."

"Hmm."

"Yes."

"Got it."

"Understood."

We form a party and set out to level up in the reborn Shushima Dungeon.
