RAW

According to Randy's grumblings, Christoph and the others are still helping Heinz today.
Yesterday aside, what do you think would happen if they continue to skip as adventurers, old man?. He said.
Skipping for two or three days is still within acceptable limits, but what if it’s more than that?

It's been a long time since I've been in a dungeon, only for today, I’ll be relying on the impatient Randy.
The essential two people remaining were secured by Randy.
One of them is a boy with semi-brown hair who has not managed to hide his impression of being a novice adventurer.
It was a face I haven’t seen in the lodging house, but it seems that this guy lives in his parents' house.

“My-my name is Port! My Job is Courier! I know I’m out of place, but, um, I need money to qualify as a national courier.”

Courier is such a cheat class Job, he’d do better as an adventurer…
…I won’t stop him if the person himself is aiming for a national qualification though.

And the other one is a genuine old man adventurer with a beard he was too lazy to shave.
I know his name because I’ve met him at the lodging house.
He is Zem, a swordsman.
The balance of the party is the best if he can take on close combat, but...

I ask them some questions.

“Do you have any experience in subjugating monsters?”

“A-are you looking down on me!? I obviously have.”

“Then what about your dungeon experience?”

“Ugh... no, but I can defeat monsters!"

Zem asserts himself with the mysterious self-confidence that isekai people have, a pride like stubbornness.
A lot of people here are like this, and the failures are often turned into fairy tales and jokes.
Port shyly told me, “It's my first time in a dungeon and doing subjugation…”

Well, next is about the dungeons, in W Country there is a wind-type C-rank dungeon near the valley, and there are three E-rank dungeons and four D-rank dungeons that seem like they are surrounding the country. There is only one B-rank dungeon near the border with E Kingdom.

The receptionist, who had completely become a familiar face, responded calmly to our request for a dungeon investigation quest, even though she was slightly shaken.

“Please wait a moment. Um, the C-rank dungeon in this valley is currently off-limits because the people of E Kingdom are dealing with its activation.”

Ah, come to think of it, that's what I reported.
As expected, they properly investigated it and dealt with it. But why would they get people from E Kingdom to do it?
Zem and Port were perplexed since it didn't look like that at all.
Randy quickly continued speaking.

“Then, which dungeon should we go to?”

“If it’s not the C-rank dungeon, you can enter anywhere.”

…Ha? Oi oi, you’ll let them in?
Normally, every dungeon is regularly patrolled by adventurers, right?
It can’t be... Are the nobles only doing monster subjugation requests!??
Don’t joke around. There’s no way it’s like that, right? I’ll ask the receptionist.

“Since we are going to investigate now, it could cause trouble if we encounter other adventurers who were ahead of us. That level of information is not――”

“Ah, it's okay. Most of you have received monster subjugation requests before. No one is investigating the dungeons!”

It’s not fine!

“Where is the dungeon with the oldest dungeon investigation?”

“Huh? Eh, umm... I'm sorry. That kind of small detail is...”

It’s not a small detail, that's the most important thing isn’t it!
It can't be helped... Neither Zem nor Port are used to dungeons. I guess we should go to an easy place?

“We’d like to go to this D-rank dungeon.”

“Is it this one? It will be a dungeon where golem-type monsters appear.”

If anywhere is fine, we'll just make a lot of money.
I give Port an instruction.

“Port! Have you finished marking the guild? If not, do it right now. I'll have you transport a bunch of golem materials.”

“Eh!? Y-yes! It's okay. The marking is over! Josiah-san, so you know the skills of a Courier...!!”

Port who gets impressed on his own is, whatever.
I say to Zem.

“Zem-san. In this dungeon, I’d like you to take the lead to the deepest part. By the way, can you deal with agile enemies like the [Constriction Bat]?”

“Eh, Y-yeah. Constrict… something, it’s that black monster hanging in the ceiling right? I, I haven’t fought one before…”

“Understood. During the battle, I'll increase Zem-san's physical speed with [Quick]. Since your muscles will be exhausted rapidly, please let me know if the muscle pain is too much.”

“G-got it.”

“Randy-san and I will be in charge of medium and long distances. And Port will be holding the rear. Don't do anything unnecessary and report any abnormalities in the back. That's all.”

A swordsman, a long-distance combatant, a wind magic user, and a courier.
If you have this group in A Empire, you can make a shitload of money. Enough to surprise even me.
And so, as a result――

“Josiah-san! For the time being, please stop collecting golem materials!”

I was scolded by the receptionist.
