<< Previous Chapter | List of Content | Next Chapter >>

Hello everyone, I'm sure some of you have read the translation from the prologue chapter.
Thank you to all who have read and provided comments and suggestions on the previous chapter.
Starting from this chapter, each chapter will be divided into two parts. This is caused by the length of the novel and my daily activities.

I will try to update every day.

As an opening, I have uploaded chapters 1 and 2.

Please enjoy the chapter :).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because it was past business hours on the day when he discovered the dungeon, Haruki contacted the government office the next day.

"My garage at home became a dungeon, I want to register it."

If you listened to this kind of sentence five years ago, people would think you were crazy.

......while thinking, Haruki put his consciousness to the receiver on his ear.

"We understand. So we will visit your home with a Self-Defense Team immediately. "

In terms of voice quality, it seemed to be male officials in thirties to forties.

What do you think if you see yourself as I am when I joined the office? ......the shadow owner's voice seemed to have trouble such as.

It was truly troublesome.

When I finished eating breakfast, police cars and fire engines refurbished in armored cars arrived in front of my house.

Haruki appeared outside the house and greeted the person in charge from the government office.

"Hello"

"Is this the dungeon? The owner is Karaboshi."

"Excuse me (ano~u)"

"Oh, he is too slow. I will call him."

"Excuse me!"

"Ah!?"

Screaming, government officer finally noticed the existence of Haruki.

<Well. It is a usual thing......>

Despite being a usual treatment, it still caused a little damage for Haruki.

<Although I wear a showy red shirt, they don't aware of my self.>

On the other hand, after noticing him, they must be thinking that "This person is terrible, isn't it?".

In fact, it supposed to be.

But, Their eyes were cold.

"I must sincerely apologize. Are you Karaboshi-san?

"Yes"

"Excuse me; does Karaboshi-san have a license?"

The license is an adventurer qualification.

Haruki took it out lightly.

"Yes, I receive it this term"

"I see. Did you enter the dungeon already?"

"No. I thought it is better if you handled it first."

"That is a correct judgment. Then may us install the barricade immediately? "

When Haruki nodded, four people of the Self-Defense Team took out sandbags and barbed wires from inside of the car and started work.

You basically shouldn't block the dungeon' entrance. If it was blocked, an entrance would open in another place.

When it obstructed, it would open again in another place. Blocking it again and it would open in another place...... And it would became an endless circle.

In addition, it was possible to haste the stampede occurrence.

Stampede was a state when monsters overflowing from the dungeon. As result, monsters have devastated most of the countries. It was a dangerous phenomenon.

Barricade made by sandbags and barbed wires, so stampede can't easily trample it even if it happens.

So it could perform prevention for the emergency occasion.

Making a barricade was only working to delay monsters' action to a certain degree.

To deal with it was the purpose of Self-Defense Team.

The Self-Defense Team consisted of police and firefighters.

They also knew as dungeon countermeasure.

Thinning monsters overflowed from the dungeon we're their responsibility.

It was the same with SDF. However, SDF alone is insufficient to handle all over 200 dungeons in Japan.

So polices and fire-fighters were helping by acting as Self-Defense Team.

Four men were setting up sandbags one by one as if they didn't feel the weight.

<I'm sure they were conducting anti-monster training.>

<It is so fast.>

Sandbags installed to surround the garage, and barbed wire stretched around it.

At the dungeon's entrance, there were small doors and security cameras around the waist, IC card readers and retinal scanner on it.

By the law revision after Stampede, the state declaring them self as the dungeons' owner.

In other words, entering without qualification was an illegal invasion.

If they didn't state it, people entering with playful sense would have the worst ending, there was many such incidents happening.

- In fact, it occurred frequently.

That's why the country gave an official order "Don't enter, it is state-owned!".

This was their last resort.

They finished the barricade production works after securing space for dungeon gate (due to that the site entrance become considerably small).

"It finishes with this"

<It was fast. It probably has not been an hour since the installation started. I'm surprised at how fast it was.>

<How strong are they combined?>

"By the way, was there anything taken by the dungeon?"

When the dungeon emerged, it would naturally swallow everything above it.

Like Haruki's garage building, it wasn't swallowed unless it touched the stairway directly, and human or pet would also be erased by the dungeon if they were in during the process.

There was no cases yet, as it rarely swallowed a whole house.

Actually, there were some cases of the subway station become a dungeon, so the possibility was high.

"Actually...... my snowplow"

"It was...... truly a disaster"

"Yes……"

They seemed to well understand the pain that lost the snowplow.

The mood became worse.

"Do you want to enter?"

"That is the plan."

"Is that so. Please be careful. Despite the saying [adventurers are risking their lives], survival is important."

"Yes. Thank you very much. Self-Defense Team too, I'm forever grateful for your help."

<Thank you for always protecting this city.>

As he guessed his thought transmitted to them. Even though the four men finished their work, they aligned with agile movements that not feel fatigue, and each of them gives a salute.

However, their lines of sight were not fixed anywhere.

<......yup, they don't see me yet.>

<That is also good!>

Once returned to his room, Haruki launched the PC; he opened him the most often visited website.

"Let's be an Adventurer!"

The so-called "Let's Be" was a website for adventurers.

From the blog that uploaded the daily strategies, the bulletin board that converses various topics, request to collect monsters' materials, and even WIKI about monsters and strategies.

Especially for the beginner adventurers, WIKI has general must read contents.

A way to defeat a particular monster, and using its weak point as a weapon.

○ Monsters that take group action by a hierarchy.

○○ A rare boss sometimes appears on the xx floor of the dungeon.

It is insanely strong, be careful.

No matter how much depopulated, the dungeon's upper layer information were definitely listed.

With or without that information would change the survival rate dramatically. Haruki also felt indebted to them.

The reason why Haruki visited "Let's Be" wasn't seeking dungeon capture information.

Haruki clicked on the sidebar, and he visited a page.

That was adventurer ranking.

The total point based on blogs and quest achievement rate, it was a page where personal and team rankings from day-to-year posted.

Those listed in were rankers, their position changed slightly between day-to-year.

When became a ranker, the probability to received the contract from various companies increase.

After signing a contract with a company, they would provide prototype equipment free of charge. Receiving the new latest model was a good experience.

Of course, it wasn't only that.

Anyway, it stand out!

<Certainly, if I become a ranker, my thin presence will be denser.>

For Haruki, it was more important than the offer from a company.

<I want to escape from the title of Air!>

Haruki scrolled down to daily individual ranking, exhaling a heavy sigh as his body sunked into the floor.

"New dungeon is discovered!"

Last night I uploaded a blog article with such a title, but it seemed that it didn't appear in the ranking.

<It suppose to be a very interesting title......>

<Once it appears in the rank, page views will tremendously increase.>

<That's why I tried to earn points with a special kind of personal story that my garage becomes a dungeon.>

<Oh, so ruthless......>

<Nobody sees the article.>

<In reality and the internet, I'm still an Air.>

<As expected, increasing the rank with only articles is useless.>

<Even if I'm depressed, to be that kind of ranker isn't possible.>

While comforting himself, it was only an active middle and lower tier adventurer could be a ranker, Haruki shut down the PC.
