Fastest Level Up! - Chapter 45

The ones who appeared in Kenzaki Dungeon were the members of King of Unique including Kazami.

Now that I think about it, Rei clearly said she planned to go to Kenzaki Dungeon with them today. So, it was unsurprising they’re the ones who appeared here.

The surrounding adventurers also started making a commotion as if they had found hope when they saw Kazami’s party.

“If it’s them who have a unique skill, they might be able to do something about the Dungeon Collapse, right?”

“Yes, with this, we don’t have to wait for B-rank adventurers anymore.”

Kazami smiled as if he was feeling good because of the words that the surrounding adventurers were saying about him and his party.

“Now that we have arrived, you guys can feel at ease. I have also heard about what happened here. So, let’s subdue the last boss ourselves without waiting for help to arrive..”

‘Ooo!’ That kind of shout reverberated from the excited adventurers when they heard Kazami’s speech. Then in such an exciting atmosphere, a woman who was this dungeon’s supervisor came in a panic to stop the excited adventurers.

“Please wait, the dungeon where the Dungeon Collapse occurred is extremely dangerous. We don’t even know what will happen as it will be very different than normal. That’s why, pardon me, is there anyone who has captured a B-rank dungeon before?”

“Although there is none, you don’t have to worry about that. Because all members in my party possess a unique skill and in addition, have surpassed level 2000. Even if the monsters became a little bit stronger than before, they are still no match for us..”

The dungeon supervisor seemingly thought about something when she heard what Kazami said, but she immediately shook her head.

“Although your party may be able to subdue the last boss without any problems, it is not certain. Because one of the things that we know about Dungeon Collapse is that there was a case where the recommended level to subjugate the dungeon boss jumped up by 10 times. But if you still insist on going, can you challenge it together with the B-rank parties who are coming here?”

“You’re really stubborn, aren’t you? This is not the time to argue. What if the dungeon completely collapses and the last boss comes out of the dungeon? Do you want to take the responsibility for it?”

“T-that…”

Looking at the hesitating supervisor, I decided to give her a helping hand.

“Stop right there, Kazami. The dungeon supervisors are more familiar with this kind of emergency situation, so I think we should just follow her instruction.”

“Nn? Ah, isn’t it Amane-kun? What a coincidence that we meet again. But unfortunately, I can’t agree with what you said because although there is some truth from what she said, it doesn’t apply to us at all. Because different from you, we’re a handful of geniuses who possess an excellent unique skill. So, I am sure even if we fight against an enemy stronger than us, we can still completely defeat it.”

“You…”

Hearing Kazami’s remarks, I felt out of place. Because I felt that he was different from his usual self.

Although I don’t know what he usually thought in his heart, he should have wanted to protect their images. So, I thought they at least wouldn’t directly slander me in front of other people.

…If I could guess, I think he was excited with the current situation.

While Kazami and I silently faced each other, the dungeon supervisor suddenly raised her voice.

“T-then, let’s do it like this. Can you clear the way to the boss room instead of subduing the last boss?”

“Clearing the way?”

The supervisor gulped as she nodded her head.

“Yes, because if many monsters appear when B-rank parties go to the boss room, it will take more time before they can subdue the last boss and they will exhaust their stamina as a result. That’s why I hope your party can go to the boss room first and subdue the monsters that appear along the way. Because with the status that you mentioned earlier, leaving aside the last boss, I’m sure you guys should be able to defeat the monsters that appear along the way without any problem. And if you still have some stamina left, can you cooperate with the B-rank party to subdue the last boss?”

“Hmmm… Although I am a bit dissatisfied, it is not a bad compromise. Understood, we will just do that.”

It seems Kazami was convinced by the proposal laid by the dungeon supervisor.

Then, after smiling a little, he turned around.

“Now, our objective has been decided. Let’s immediately enter the dungeon. Let’s go, Sakura, Yuuya, Kousuke, and–Rei.”

Kazami called Rei’s name too and hearing that, I subconsciously opened my mouth.

“Wait, Kazami. You’re planning to bring Rei too? Rei’s level isn’t as high as you guys, you know? Don’t you think it’s better to leave her here?”

“Oops, I’m sorry Amane-kun, but this is our problem. Can outsiders like you stop commenting about it? In the first place, isn’t it natural for a party to work together to capture a dungeon?”

“Even so, in this kind of situation, as expected–”

“Rin”

The one who stopped me from trying to argue with Kazami was none other than Rei herself as she tightly grabbed my arm.

“It’s okay, Rin. If it’s just the monsters that appear along the way, I should be able to defeat them with my power. I’m sure there won’t be any problem as long as I didn’t overdo it. Because I’m also a member of the party, so I think I have to do my best too.”

“Rei…”

Rei told me with a firm attitude. However, I didn’t miss the slight trembling on her hand that held my arm.

“Understood… Don’t overdo it, okay?”

“Un”

To be honest, I’m still not convinced by that. But, if the person herself said so, I had no right to stop her.

In the end, the five members of King of Unique entered the dungeon first as planned while the rest of the adventurers including me could only look at them from the outside of the dungeon.

Yui, who had finished treating people, stared worriedly at Rei’s back beside me.

“Is it really fine? Kurosaki-san’s level is the lowest among the members of the party, right?”

“Well, even so, she is someone who possesses a strong unique skill. And as she just said before, as long as she doesn’t overdo it, it should be fine.”

Although it was true I was worried about Rei, other than that, this became a good situation for me.

At any rate, the supervisor’s proposal was a good idea to solve the problem of manpower and time at the same time. That’s why I am certain the last boss will be subdued without problem by B-rank parties and Kazami’s party. With this, I don’t have to show my ability and the power of my unique skill [Transfer Within Dungeon], and yet…

For some reason, the commotion in my chest hasn’t subsided since a while ago.

“I am sure this is just my imagination, right…? More importantly, while those guys are in the middle of capturing the dungeon, there must be monsters that will come out too. So, I should concentrate on defeating them before they can come out.”

I tried to convince myself like that as I saw Rei enter the gate of the dungeon.
