26 - Don't stop investigating dungeons!

RAW

In the past week, the entire guild has undergone a major reform since Randy started studying magic circles.

First of all, Randy and I couldn't do the dungeon investigation alone, so we had two commoner adventurers accompany us to fill in the gaps.
That way, I won't gather hate from commoner adventurers myself, and they will be satisfied.

However, despite the fact that the essential people were talking big about wanting to go to the dungeon, they were all beginners in combat, let alone in dungeons.
What's more, the day after dungeon investigation, they pathetically get muscle pain.
For the time being, I decided to let them get used to the dungeon investigation and accompany us in turns to avoid muscle pain.

“Ah~~ I'm busy, I'm busy. I just delivered some documents to the post office.”

As the guild chief hurriedly goes and goes, the receptionist sighs at the updated map.

“No way, to think this kind of thing would happen.”

This kind of thing can happen, that’s why dungeon investigation is essential.
The result of our dungeon investigation.
Of the three E-rank dungeons, two have disappeared. On the contrary, one new E-rank dungeon and two D-rank dungeons have appeared. In addition, two former D-rank dungeons have upgraded to C-rank dungeons.

Ultimately, the current dungeons around W Country is.

One B-rank dungeon.
Three C-rank dungeons.
Four D-rank dungeons.
Two E-rank dungeons.

The documents that the chief sent earlier were distributed in order to inform the people of the updated dungeon information.
The receptionist couldn't hide her confusion and was impressed.

“So a dungeon can disappear…”

I, who was waiting near the counter to accept a quest, answered.

“It happens a lot in the early stages of dungeon appearance. However, what you should be wary of is that there are two dungeons that have been raised to C-rank. Dungeons that have upgraded in rank have a high tendency to upgrade further.”

“No way, there would be two B-rank dungeons, or even three!? That’s――”

“Recently, everyone has been working together to improve their skills. If you can keep adapting to the dungeons at this pace, you should be able to handle C-rank and B-rank dungeons with plenty of leeway.”

“I-is that so? If Josiah-san says that, I'm relieved. Ah, also, we've received the documents on B-rank dungeon investigations from E Kingdom. I asked for them, just as Josiah-san told me.”

Finally.
I'd rather just do it normally, but.
Simply put, there are no signs of activation in the B-rank dungeon. It seems that the guild over there regularly does investigations.
…Considering the other adventurers' level of skills, we have no choice but to leave this to E Kingdom for the time being.

But the ultimate goal is to investigate the B-rank dungeon.
It is difficult for four people to conquer a B rank. It takes a group of well-trained adventurers――in other words, all the commoner adventurers and Randy and his party combined, to conquer it.
When I told the commoner adventurers that goal, they naturally became motivated.
As a dreaming romanticist from another world, I think it would be exciting to challenge a B-rank dungeon myself.

Once again, the receptionist verbally describes this time’s quest.

“Today, it’s the investigation of an E-rank dungeon in the area of the mountain range. The type is the earth element. Many plant monsters will appear. Is this ok?”

“Yes.”

We're not aiming for golems’ or other monsters’ materials this time, but for the training of other adventurers.
My own experience points?
Aah, I’m trying some things because it has become strange. Because――

Josiah
Job: Magician Lv.30
Element: Light Magic Lv.20

HP: 500/500
MP: 34000/42000

Physical Attack: 150
Magic Attack: 514
Defense: 20
Strength: 20
Agility: 53

This is my current status, but... so far, as you can see from the changes in my status, it's too weird.
I guess you can say it’s extreme, but there is no trend in how the numbers are rising.
I've heard that magicians generally don't improve their physical attacks, but I’m the only one whose physical attack is desperately rising. It's strange... I do have an idea why this happened.

“O―i, old man! I prepared it. It's a cheap one though.”

That’s when Randy calls me out.
What he showed me were several knives made of mithril.

“Would we be fine using this?”

"No problem. What’s important is that it's made of mithril. You can draw more formulas on mithril objects than on normal objects. That made it possible to activate more complex magic. This time I’ll have the fire-attribute swordsman accompanying us support me.”

“Hee―? I totally have no idea what's going to happen.”

Later, we joined with the young male swordsman with fire-element and the young female healer with the earth-element.
These two are nervous as this is their first time in a dungeon.
It's an E-rank dungeon, so there's no problem going there carefreely... though, only on E and D can you go there carefreely.
Rather, the problem is after that――

The receptionist asks me.

“A-and... are you serious about going to a C-rank dungeon this afternoon?”

“Yes. In addition to myself, I will be accompanied by Crezio-sama and the others.”

“I, I understand. Please be careful and have a safe journey.”
