Fastest Level Up! - Chapter 56

“Hmmm, I slept well!”

The day after the dungeon collapse occurred in Kenzaki Dungeon.

Yesterday, I went to bed earlier than usual because my fatigue had accumulated after that incident. Thanks to that, I was very refreshed right now.

Then, I went to the living room and saw Hana, who had already started eating breakfast.

“Ah, good morning, Onii-chan.”

“Nn, good morning.”

I greeted her before sitting down at the table and watching the TV. A morning news program was aired there, and it was at the dungeon segment right now. Today as well, they’re telling the masses about various things that happened in the dungeons..

Like, since a new dungeon has appeared in the other prefecture, they’re looking for adventurers with level 5000 or higher to participate in the first challenge. Or about an excellent tamer with a unique skill that could enslave monsters dying suspiciously in a nearby B-rank dungeon.

Among those news, there is also a headline news about Japanese people who were newly added to the top 300 in the world, in other words, the people who have over 100,000 levels.

However, what I paid attention to the most was the news about the dungeon collapse that occurred in Kenzaki Dungeon yesterday.

Of course, they will take that topic as one of the news because recently there has been no news about adventurers being defeated when challenging the last boss. Well, in the first place a dungeon collapse itself rarely happens, though. Most dungeons basically just disappear naturally without dungeon collapse occurring.

On the news, although some blamed Kazami and the others who challenged the last boss at their own discretion, there are also some who praised them for having the mentality to self-sacrifice for the sake of others.

But if anything, although her name was not mentioned in the news, there were a lot of topics about the only surviving adventurer from the party, Rei. Those people who weren’t even there to begin with, spoke as they pleased–like how Rei was a shameless person who just watched the deadly battle that was happening in front of her without doing anything.

…. Looks like I did something bad to Rei.

If she didn’t go along with my lies and told the truth to the masses, I am certain she won’t be harshly criticized like now. Next time, I’m going to apologize to her in some way. Fortunately, we have exchanged our contact information just in case.

In front of me who was thinking about something like that, Hana also watched the news with interest.

“Kenzaki Dungeon is the one in the center of the city, right? It’s scary that such an incident happened so close from here. Right, Onii-chan?”

“Nn? Yes, that’s right. You too, be careful not to get involved, Hana.”

“Leave it to me, if it’s about escaping, I am the fastest! Oh. But, but rather than that, Onii-chan can just get stronger than the last boss and protect me. Even Asakura-san’s child from the neighboring town has already challenged A-rank dungeons even when he was the same age as Onii-chan, you know? Do your best too, Onii-chan!”

No, in the end, who the heck is this Asakura-san… That’s what I wanted to say but, I fearlessly laughed.

“Leave it to me. When something happens to you, I would definitely save you if you called me, Hana.”

“E-eh? Unexpectedly not an Onii-chan-ish reaction? Fu-fuunn, well, that’s fine. Even so, what an immediate response. Good grief, Onii-chan is really a severe siscon after all. Ah~ I’m troubled~”

Oi, Hana. Didn’t you learn in school that there are good and bad things to say even if it’s a fact?

Well leaving aside that kind of joke (actually a fact). My breakfast time with Hana continued joyfully just like that.
