Chapter 62: Dungeon in Yokohama

「Yuuma and I will dive into 『Black Dungeon』 starting from tomorrow.」

「Eh!? Why are you in such hurry?」

President Kanzaki who returned to the office told Tanaka and Maika that he already received an official commission to investigate the 『Black Dungeon』.

「You have investigated that place few times in the past but, why are you suddenly bringing Yuuma there?」

Maika asked curiously. Kanzaki prepared to answer her with the answer that was prepared beforehand to avoid telling them the detailed situation.

「It’s for efficiency. The younger Yuuma whose “Magical Power” still low is the most suited one for this case.」

Seeing his daughter’s expression, Kanzaki knew that Maika isn’t truly convinced by his answer but,

「U~hm, I see… Physical strength is more important for defeating monster in that place.」

「Y-Yeah, it’s just as you say, Tanaka-san!」

「Okay.」

""

Tanaka who was sitting at his desk stood up and trotted toward them.

「While Yuuma and I go to Yokohama, Tanaka-san and Maika will dive into the 20th floor of 『Blue Dungeon』 to gather “Iolite”.」

「A~h, the magic gem commissioned by the ISAS company huh. Understood. By the way, president, I actually doesn’t want to pry too much into it since it’s a commission from Aisha-san but, why are you willingly agreeing to it?」

「Uh… That’s…」

Previously,  their company investigation of the 『Black Dungeon』 had been postponed due to some reason. But since both Maika and Tanaka were aware of that, Kanzaki was troubled in how to answer the question,

「It feels like if I refuse her request again this time, she’s going to kill me for real… I’m serious.」

「A~hahaha, yeah, she might really do that. I mean, you always gave her your promise to help her investigation and neglecting it until now, she must be really pissed off this time.」

「Y-Yeah. Hahaha.」

「I understand. Leave the gathering of “Iolite” to Maika-chan and I!」

「Thanks, sorry for the trouble then.」

Kanzaki heaved a deep sigh of relief as he sat back in his chair. Upon a closer look, Yuuma seems to have a pleasant conversation with Maika and Tanaka about the expedition into the 『Black Dungeon』.

――Is he really the owner of the biggest mana index in this world? I hardly believe it even now.

That alone didn’t equal him being the strongest seeker in the world. But, it literally allows him to use all four prime elements along with recovery magic, and still enough to push them to the highest limit.

The current strongest healer in the world was a woman from India, Gaurika Naidu.

She was hailed as a messiah, they said that she could cure any sickness or Injured person that was already on the verge of death, the people in her country called it god’s miracle.

But, her treatment fees were ranging from hundreds of millions to billions. There was even a rumor that a certain multi billionaire from somewhere paid her trillions. And her mana index was only 4800.

Some scholars even come up with a theory that it might be possible to revive a dead person if the user of healing magic has more than ten thousand mana index.

I had no idea whether he really had 460k mana index or not but, if that was the truth even if just around 100k had already been coloured, the rest was more than enough for the other magic.

When that happened, he literally had become a god-like existence. Was that even possible?

I guess this exploration was the best chance to check up on that――

◇◇◇

The next day, Yuuma and the President’s figure could be seen in Yokohama station.

The 『Black Dungeon』 that appeared in the form of cave in near Yokohama station, the downtown, became a huge news due to huge number of victims caused by that incident.

The country quickly mobilized its authority to build the facility to seal the entrance of the dungeon from the general public and announced the event as the mark of national disaster.

Now, the grim fortress built by the ministry of defense was enshrined as a landmark in front of Yokohama station.

「It really is in the middle of city, eh.」

Muttered Yuuma as he looked up to the huge building before him.

「Well, inside is the dungeon that caused the biggest damage in Japan after all.」

The president who spoke from behind Yuuma had also looked up at the building.

「Oi, what are you waiting for? Come here!」

Aisha walked casually toward the entrance of the building as she waved her hand to them. She was apparently in high spirits, which was quite obvious from the huge rucksack she carried on her back.

Her current appearance was the exact opposite of the image of her as a gloomy researcher.

「You’re going to enter the dungeon too, Aisha-san?」

「Well… That’s the reason for my investigation after all.」

「… Aren’t you going to become a hindrance?」

「… Stop being so blunt like that.」

Apparently, their job was clearing the floor of the dungeon while escorting Aisha.

The president nodded with a rather unpleasant look on his face.

After passing the exaggerated concrete door and entering the building, the JSDF personnel with uniform came to them, asking them to finish their procedure registration.

Aisha then showed her entry permit and appointed Yuuma and the president as her escort.

They were then guided by the JSDF personnel further inside. After passing who knows how many huge concrete doors, they had finally arrived at the dome-shaped building.

In the middle of that dome-shaped building was a giant hole.
