Fastest Level Up! - Chapter 21
Shion Dungeon.
It was an E-rank dungeon that is definitely challenged by beginners when they just become adventurers. Only one level up is obtained as a capture reward, and the resources in Shion Dungeon are quite poor too.
Even so, the reason why there are still many adventurers that challenged that dungeon is because of the various types of monsters that appeared in there. This means an adventurer could gain some experience of dealing with various types of monster such as human type, beast type and bird type monsters.
Still, their strength was just like a normal human that grew some fur on their body. They could even be easily defeated by an adult man with a metal bat. Which means, it was perfect for beginners.
That’s why I chose Shion Dungeon as my second conquered dungeon because of how easy it was to capture it. And as expected, the capturing phase was easy and comfortable..
However…
“Why is it not done yet!”
–It was a different story if I can’t see the end of this relentless capture even after capturing this dungeon for more than 100 times.
I recalled the days I captured Shion Dungeon from the first day until today.
Day 1
When I arrived at Shion Dungeon which was a 10 minute walk from home, I was surprised to see the number of people there.
“Oh, there are quite a few people here. Well, it’s spring break after all. So, I guess there are many of them who just graduated from high school too.”
Although I can’t say there are no exceptions, basically, only 18 year olds or older can be qualified as an adventurer. Therefore, there are many who became adventurers right after graduating from high school.
It’s just like a car driving license. Well, I don’t have it since it costs some money, though. Well, I wish you happiness, oh young people. While keeping that in mind (Though, they’re only one year apart from me) I started my capture.

『Dungeon Capture Reward ….
Since it was the first day, I decided to finish after my 25th capture even though I still had some time to spare. Although there was no sign that it would be conquered yet, there is no problem as I originally thought at least 50 times would be necessary. Let’s just coolly finish it with some leeway.
And like that, my level increased by 25.
Day 2
When I visited Shion Dungeon again, I was thinking about the problem that I found yesterday. And that problem was, because as there were more adventurers in Shion Dungeon than Yumemi Dungeon, there was a risk of encountering them at the destination of my transfer after using [Transfer Within Dungeon].
Although they didn’t notice me, yesterday, I saw some adventurers a little away from my transfer destination more than 5 times. I have to be more careful today.

On the second day, I captured Shion Dungeon 30 times.
Although I was disappointed that I still did not receive the bonus reward even after capturing this dungeon for more than 50 times, it was still within my expectations.
Because this dungeon was ranked lower than D-rank dungeon, Yumemi Dungeon. I was prepared to capture Shion Dungeon at least 100 times since the beginning.
And just like that, my level increased by 30.
Day 3
From today, the situation has taken a dark turn.
It was because of the mental exhaustion of having to be careful not to encounter other adventurers, and the tired feeling due to the fact that only 1 level up was rewarded by capturing this dungeon.
Even so, I know it wasn’t my limit yet and thus I still did my best.

The times I captured Shion Dungeon exceeded 40 times.
If I added up the number of times I captured the dungeons for the last two days, I should have already captured it more than 100 times. However, the dungeon has not yet been conquered.
I didn’t feel that happy even though my level rose by 40.
Day 4
By the time I arrived at Shion Dungeon, I had already lost my motivation. I repeatedly killed the dungeon boss and captured the dungeon just like it was a simple thing to do.
I see, I am sure this is what it means to lose one’s heart…

“Why is it not done yet!?”
In the end, I reached my limit and shouted like that. Yeah, let’s take a break! Even Hana said it’s good to take a break once in a while!
Thus, I sat down while leaning my back against a big tree located a little away from the gate of Shion Dungeon. Ah, the wind that blows in the shade of the tree was so comfortable.
I continued to look at the adventurers that approached the gate of Shion Dungeon like that. Well, the act of looking at adventurers itself doesn’t have any particular meaning though.
However when I realized, there were some adventurers gathered and sneakily talking about something while looking at me.
This is bad, did they think I was a suspicious person? If that’s not the case, they might have seen me using [Transfer Within Dungeon]
While feeling anxious like that, they approached me. A sudden encounter! No, I am not in the wrong! It’s the world’s fault! There is an urge to say that even though they haven’t said anything to me.
As those thoughts were running through my mind, one of the adventurers in the center who was in front of me opened his mouth.
“Anoo, are you by any chance a scout?!”
“…Ha?”
And that was the question he asked me.
