The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter - Chapter 36

Translator:”WN_Explorer_2000″ Editor:” Weasalopes”

Near the guild entrance, with a totally threatening appearance, Laura-san was in rage, while Luna-san was desperately holding her down.

Surprised, we rushed over to her side.

「What is going on ?」

「That’s where we come to the good part, Noir-dono. And Laura is having trouble getting her hands on it.」

「Why are you so angry?」

「No matter how much you would ask me, Noir-san, I won’t stop !」

「Un … So, why are you angry ?」

「That woman, Sara, has taken an adventurer I was in charge of, again !」

My attention went to Sara-san then.

She was a pretty woman with long hair, glamorous-looking body and a beautiful face. Her age was around her twenties.

Without a hint of shyness, with a slightly raised mouth corners.

「I’m not breaking any rules. You are not going to be in charge because your charm is lacking?」

「You are lying ! You, prostitute copycat, you just snatched him away.」

「Ara, you can’t say such things, as you don’t have too good results.」

Sara fixed her eyes at the score sheet attached to the wall.

It was a bar chart, with Sara at the first place, with no one getting close to her. It looked like this month Laura-san was ranked the 3rd.

Anyway, let’s take a closer look at this guild system.

Naturally, there are uncles and aunts working as clerks here. However, there are many good-looking women who are working directly with the adventurers. We, as adventurers, upon gaining D-rank, can freely appoint a person in charge.

(Not that I would care about it)

Both me and Luna, and also Ema, who followed us afterwards, designated Laura-san.

And then, if an adventurer who designated the receptionist, makes an accomplishment, the receptionist will get better resulting score. It’s a unique scoring method to determine the monthly payment by the merits. And so, to cut the chase, if there are many adventurers who nominated you, or if you have excellent accomplishments, the receptionist will get better results score, which equals improvement in both salary and treatment.

Because of that, the receptionists give some incentive to the contributing adventurers, such as granting some privilege once in a month. I’ve also received 30 minutes shoulder massage ticket from Laura.

So, this time the problem was related to that. As we can change the person in charge freely, it makes no problem to do it so. It appears that Sara has taken the adventurer that Laura has been in charge of.

As Laura-san was angry, I directed my question to Luna-san.

「Speaking of such a situation, is it something common ?」

「Hmm, there is some sort of unwritten law for the receptionists not to do such things …」

That’s how it was, Sara-san had broken such a rule. That’s why Laura-san became enraged.

「She is doing that for a long time already, that Sara woman.」

「That, is, why. Is there any evidence that I tempted Laura’s adventurers ? Did they say it?」

「… I didn’t say that」

「So, didn’t they just decide on it? They surely just disliked your rough work.」

「I’m … !」

「Yeah, yeah, if you are frustrated so much, why don’t we just see if you can win against me even once ?」

Sara-san raised her nose, and, with a smile, went on provoking crimson-red Laura-san.

「If I, if I win, would you swear to stop doing such acts ?」

「Even if I don’t do that … I would swear that I won’t do that in the future」

「… I accept it. This Sara will accept this challenge.」

「In exchange, should I win, I would gladly accept one of your adventurers」

「Don’t say it is Luna …」

Luna is C-ranked and has better total results than us as an adventurer.

But Sara-san’s eyes were fixed not on Luna, but on me.

「Noir Stalgia-san ♪ I’m Sara Rongron !」

As she was dressed in clothes with high exposure, her breast, making an impressive feat, was impressively raised while she lowered her head.

Such a skillfulness …

「You are going to snatch away … N, N, Noir-san ?」

「Isn’t Noir-san related to the Founder, Olivia … Oh, wait, is it a secret ? One can’t grow his talent if he is related to a terrible person like Laura. Should it be me, I would properly guide the feelings of Noir-san as he goes to take on adventuring.」

The staff members can peek into adventurer’s data.

She probably has found out that I had my mentor’s skills 【Create・Grant・Edit】.

I used 【Appraisal Eye】 skill to investigate what kind of person Sara is.

I became speechless.

What kind of ―― skill system is this person’s specialization !?

That kind of thing is much more indecent than my 【Shoulder Massage】 skill.

Well … It is kind of for attracting men’s passion.

「The results of the challenge are decided in one month. It’s a promise, Laura」

「… Oh, just to think that you would aim for Noir-san」

Ignoring Laura-san, who looked like she was out of energy, Sara-san walked toward me.

「Noir-san, I’m looking forward for the day I’m going to be in charge of you」

Then, at point-blank range, she performed her previous special move.

My stamina was mercilessly shaved.

As Sara-san left, my head went dizzy.

If Laura-san is defeated in one month, will Sara-san be in charge of me? … . That’s how it is.

Suddenly, I’ve got an ominous feeling from the side, – there stood Ema, emitting a negative aura.

「Hey, Noir, could it be that you are thinking that losing would be pretty sweet, RIIIIIGHT ?」

Scary …

Ema brought her expressionless face closer to me. About such a thing … I really didn’t think about it.

「”The bigger the better”, – I think Noir-dono is not such a man. However, it definitely seems to be charming … . The other party is finally someone who can be an opponent to Ema-dono … It’s totally similar to my situation.」

「I’m not judging the opposite sex by … s-size.」

「I wonder if you are telling the truth ? Noir-san is unexpectedly silent about it」

「Such a thing …」

I must not say that. I’m a healthy man, everyone would be like that.

As we had a similar conversation, Laura-san became furious.

「You … what are you talking about ?」

「「I’m sorry …」」

While I was apologizing to Luna-san, I’ve made a suggestion to Laura.

As I took the seat, first of all I started a consultation about the issue about Sara-san.

「Are there any winning points ?」

「Uh … I would somehow do my best. I can’t forgive people who are breaking the rules, as well as the possibility of someone’s else being in charge of Noir-san.」

「We would do anything within our limits. Even if the mark is quite high, we could turn it around. Do you have dragon quests ? Actually we have one more challenge in this month.」

We explained the school exam matter. It appeared that there was a quest to deliver dragon ingredients, but it is limited to B rank.

Quests can be received only up to one rank higher than the current rank of an adventurer.

So, if Ema and I obtain the ingredients, I would not be able to contribute to my adventurer score, but it would be another story if it is a party.

We have C-ranked Luna in our party. And the dragon ingredients mentioned in the request are not the fangs required for the exam.

「In addition to that, Dragon ingredients request would greatly contribute to my grades」

「So, we are going to accept the quest. Although I’m anxious about it, but my skills may be sufficient.」

「No, that is … The confirmed existing dragons are living in the area, which is prohibited for entry.」

The access to that Treasure Mountain is limited to nobles from royal family circle, and adventurers with rank C or higher.

As its name suggests, there grow fruits with a wonderful taste, as well as highly-priced medicinal herbs.

「There are stories about a dragon living there, but, as there are many people who would die for money, the country has restricted an entry to there.」

In this situation I have to rely on my 【Great Sage】 skill.

I asked about the whereabouts of the nearest dragon from this place.

The answer returned was the “Treasure Mountain”.

「And that is why, first of all we are going to aim for C rank. Ema, is it fine with you ?」

「It is not fine with me at all」

「I’m going to work hard as a partner. Haha, as a partner ?」

The word “partner” sounded so sweet to Luna, who was an adventurer for many years. Her joyful reaction from saying that herself was quite cute.

「Certainly. Then, for Noir-san’s group, I will continue to make requests」

「Please」

Our main goal is to defeat a dragon within one month.

This way we can get both the high score in the exam and contribute to Laura-san’s results.

However, it is just that, simply put, it can’t be achieved so easily.

So, for now, let’s complete a request to achieve the C-rank position.

First of all, let’s complete a quest for monster elimination.
