Chapter 9: 9

–Ochanomizu Dungeon, 16th floor.

“Ah, by the way, did you know what that monster was Masaki-san? There was no such monster in my knowledge.”

“No, I don’t know too. It’s not a needle mouse, nor a diving mouse, it’s not a sparrowhawk either… Is there any other mouse-shaped monster?”

“I don’t know, I have never heard of anything else.”

“Sure enough, the back dungeon theory has become more and more concrete.”

“Welll this is the worst.”

“Hey, Miss! Did you learn any new mouse-type monster at school?”

Godo, who was having a conversation with Ujo, suddenly turned to Asagiri.

At Japan Explorer High School, the latest information on dungeons is gathered from all over the world through the World Explorers Association (WSA) at the fastest speed. Among them, there was a custom to immediately treat the contents that were judged to be important as classes regardless of the grade.
For that reason, she might have had information that even Godo had not heard of.

“No, I’m taking zoology, but I’ve never heard of anything else. I’m sorry that I can’t help you.”

“As expected… No, miss doesn’t have to feel done. Even we, the professionals, don’t know, there’s no need to apologize.”

“Y, yes, I’m sorry.”

Godo thought with a fumu.

The mouse-shaped monster Needle Mouse that he knows is a monster that covers its whole body with a thin needle, so to speak, like a hedgehog. It launches a nasty medium-range attack by shooting its needles, but its body is surprisingly weak, and its grade is classified as 5th grade.

Another one is a diving mouse. It’s a monster that digs into the shallow ground. Very similar to a mole, it has a very stiff nose and launches a surprise attack. It’s a 4th-grade monster and it is weak enough that even the members here can easily defeat it.

And it’s a mouse-shaped monster that they just fought.
There were no noteworthy traits, but overall it was a high-level monster. It can be said that its speed, defense power, attack power, cooperation, are all top-notch.
It can be inferred from the colour of the eyes that it is a third-grade monster, but Godo was wary because the people that had a third-grade calling and were forced to consume more physical strength than expected.

“Well, a new species would be appropriate.”

Godo muttered in a small voice.
Ujo follows the mutter and asks a question.

“Is there a lot of new monsters because it’s called a back dungeon?”

“I wonder? I haven’t heard of it much, so I don’t even know.”

“Then, it seems better to proceed on the premise that there are new species”

“Ujo, isn’t that a good idea? I miss the naughty little brat.”

“N, no, please stop! At that time, I just joined chariot and became a little conceit! Please stop going through the past.”

“Haha it’s a joke, a joke.”

While the other explorers were sitting on the rugged walls of the dungeon and taking a break to get their breath back, only the voices of Ujo and Godo echoed loudly.

Ujo originally had an offensive calling, and his body was trained like an athlete, so he still had plenty of physical strength.
Godo was also confident in his physical strength. The reason was completely different from that of Ujo, and the main reason was that he had a second-grade calling.
It is said that an explorer with a second-grade calling has nearly twice the amount of physical strength than an explorer with a third-grade calling.
All the explorers participating in this raid have callings of 3rd or lower except for Godo, so the difference in ability will appear in such a critical situation.

Everyone else was beginning to notice that fact.
Godo knew that too, so he planned to stay here until everyone was feeling better.

“Hmm?”

But the dungeon didn’t wait for them.

Godo sensed disturbing movements with his commander’s skill, five senses synchronization.

Right now, the companion that Godo was in sync with was Mai Numata, who played the role of the scout.
Her senses are several times better than the other explorers, so she was asked to investigate what the road ahead would be after the battle was over.
She caught the disturbing movement, and her five senses flowed into the head of Godo.

(Mai, don’t overdo it. Retreat back now.)

(Understood, Godo-san)

Godo gave instruction to Numata immediately, making full use of his command transmission skill.
Then Numata turned her heels back to prepare to turn back.

(Mai! Run faster!)

(I’m doing my best!)

(Okay! Escape here for the time being! I’ll do something about it)

(Yes!)

From the end of the straight road, a group of green-haired rat-shaped monsters began to hunt down Numata.
Numata specializes in the role of a scout and has a sharp five senses and speed, but even with her third-grade calling [Bandit Leader], she was only as strong as a person with a fourth-grade calling.
Such a girl cannot compete with a group of third-grade monsters alone.

“Break is over! If you are a third-class explorer or above, stand up quickly! Numata will bring you a flock of monsters soon!”

Nearly 20 explorers stood up in response to the shouts of Godo.
They immediately regrouped by their weapons and fighting style.

Meanwhile, the explorers and students who did not meet the criteria were prepared to provide support from a distance by standing on the opposite side of the path as to not disturb them

“Shoot long-range and medium-range attackers attack at the same time when I count down to one! Is that okay?”

“”””Yes!””””

In the meantime, he gave instructions to Numata who was escaping.

(Mai, the moment you entered here, crouch down and slide. Do you understand?)

(Yes!)

After giving instructions, Godo started the count down

“3 … 2 … 1! Now!”

At that moment, the appearance of Numata appeared from the end of the straight road that was dark.
When she hears the shouts of Godo, she immediately slides into the opened-up space.
There were a number of glowing arrows and magic bullets passing just above her head.

“Chui !?”
“Chu !?”
“Chitchui !?”

Because of the surprise attack, several monsters running at the front of the flock were pierced by arrows and magic bullets.
Without confirming that, Godo gives the following instructions.

“Moiwa! Aso! Kanda!”

“Got it …Induction!”
“Here also! Induction!”
“Huh!? I won’t ee later! Induction!”

The three shields, Moiwa, Aso, and Kanda, who participated in this raid, activated their provocation skill to draw the monsters’ attention.

“Next is Miss!”

“Yes!”

Godo called Aika Asagiri, who was available.
Asagiri seems to have already finished her process of concentrating, and used her Inherent ability on Ujo next her

After that, it was a battle of a professional explorer.

According to Godo’s instruction, the shields split the monsters up.
Then the vanguard thinned the monster’s numbers.
Then the archer’s and mages provided support. The energy and casualties were significantly less than last time, probably because they brushed up from the bitter experience before.
The process was “as expected” and their adaptation ability was enough to make the students and the other explorers groan.

They got used to the transformed dungeon.
No, they were made to adapt.

Still, they pushed on through the dungeon, seeking an exit.
