It was just getting light outside when I fell asleep and woke up in an hour.
The Sacred Sleep Technique is a very useful skill .
It's a great way to get stronger as you can use your time to sleep for other things, and it helps you fall asleep faster and wake up more quickly.
This skill is highly recommended for people who have trouble sleeping and waking up.
However, the Sleeping Beauty Technique is an original skill I came up with.
...... Wait, don't you think you can make a lot of money if you sell a book about the Xiannui Method?
Well, I don't know if I'm gonna do it.
Probably not.
Thinking about that, I opened the door of The Tempest.
Eleanor, who has been working hard as a receptionist since early morning today, beckoned to me saying, "Revell-san!
''The quest you accepted the other day has been competed with another adventurer. Besides our guild, the only other person who has undertaken it is 'Red Wolf'.
Quests can be undertaken by anyone.
There is no limit to the number of quests that can be undertaken, so if more than one person takes on a quest, it is a race.
Only those who meet the quest's requirements will receive the reward, so of course, those who are competing against each other will compete with each other.
And this time, my opponent is a member of the Red Wolf.
Speaking of the Red Wolf, there's one person I know.
The talented Agito is the top-ranked swordsman.
I fought him in the last eight of the Frey Perla Rookie Tournament.
Do you have any idea who accepted the job?
Let's see, your name is Karina. She looks like an A-rated adventurer, but I'm sure Revell-san will be fine.
I thought there were three A-ranked adventurers in Red Wolf.
So Karina is one of them.
...... This looks like we'll have to go to the dungeon today.
In order to succeed in this quest, you must deliver the robust horns of the Minotaur before your opponent.
The monster you'll defeat this time is the Minotaur.
An A-ranked monster is dangerous enough, but we managed to kill an S-ranked manticore.
Well, it's all manageable.
Sure. We've got your back.
Eleanor smiled at that.
After waiting in the guild for a while, Kurt and Fear arrived.
The situation has changed and we need to hurry up a bit, so we decided to discuss it on the way to the dungeon entrance.
Our party is capped at 4 people, so we can add another person, but considering the strength of our guild members, we shouldn't be forced to get them all together.
I'll lead the way to the 20th level, but I'll take the lead, so you two should follow me.
''All right. I don't think there's any problem with Revell, who's good at close combat, being the vanguard, and me and Fear, who's mainly a long range attacker, being the rear guard, as per the theory.
'You maintain that formation outside of combat, even at ......, don't you? If Mr. Revell doesn't have any sense of direction, he's not going to be able to go on.
I don't think he's directionless, but don't worry about that for now. We'll get to the 20th level without a hitch.
'Maybe Revel bought a map?
Bingo.
The structure of the dungeon has already been revealed thanks to many adventurers, and the city of Flaparra is now selling maps made from that information.
The lower you go down the hierarchy, the more valuable the maps become.
I thought that if I was going to be an adventurer mainly in Frapara, I would have many opportunities to use the dungeons in the future, so I bought a map with up to 20 levels.
''I see, as long as I keep an eye on the map, there's no need to get lost.
I got the map, but you don't need to look at it.
'What? But if you bought the map, what good is it if you don't look at it?
I just wanted to see if there's anything else I can do to prepare, so I memorized the map. So I won't have to look at it on the road.
I've always been a pretty good learner and it didn't take much effort to learn.
...... for 20 levels?
Yeah.
...... That sounds like you, Revell: ...... I'm not surprised anymore.
Fear said with a dumbfounded look on his face.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Thank you, Revell. The less we lose, the less demons we'll have to fight. You've been a great help.
I've done the same thing. It's my first dungeon.
The dungeons are a treasure trove of resources, but the number of adventurers who die in them is not small.
I feel that being too careful is just right.
I have a complete understanding of the map's contents, but I've put it in the Item Box just in case. I'm sure.
◇
Keep walking and you'll find yourself in the central district of the Fleaparra.
The entrance to the dungeon is in the central district of Freypara.
This area is well maintained and there are many adventurer's guilds and shops that target adventurers.
One building stands out among them all.
It's a marble building where adventurers often gather.
It seems the entrance to the dungeon is inside that building.
I'll enter the marble building and I'll see Agito.
Huh.
Huh?
Our eyes met and we let out a sound.
"Hi, Agito. I knew the members of the Red Wolf would be rivals, but I didn't expect you to be there.
Yeah, of course I know that. After all, I took this quest to get revenge on you.
