'Without training by only allocating one point, this happened... '
'How many steps did I skip?'

'Anyway,'
Haruki warned himself.

'It is amazing that my physical ability improved to be able to clear the Monster Rampage.'
'However, amazing doesn't mean strong.'

'That's why I must brace myself.'
'So I won't stumble because of my confidence.......'

Like that he laid down while closing his eyelids.
Although Haruki certainly felt sleepy, he still couldn't sleep.

His body still had a slight fever due to the sense of exaltation after surviving an intense fight.
Even though his body was tired, the tension in his nerve made his unable to sleep.

"Hmm... Since I have come to Sapporo, should I visit some famous place here?"

As he muttered, Haruki came to the city at night while wearing light clothes.

Haruki arrived at "Brave's Bar" in Susukino.
After the dungeons appeared, the material cost, fuel cost, and shipping costs surged, the production of sake decreased significantly and its price rose sharply.
Furthermore, because there was a dungeon in the vicinity, no ordinary people drank outside in a bar.

Meanwhile, this "Brave's Bar" which started marketing with a focus on adventurers was prosperous enough to compete for the first or second place in Susukino.

This bar is often the topic of conversation on the official blog.

Inside of the bar, adventurers and decoration remind of the classic fantasy atmosphere.
[Feel free to order, you can relax while drinking.]

[If you pay a tip to Master, he will tell useful information as a service.]
The management really has a deep understanding.

In addition, drinking there would be a tax measure if you paid using an IC card.
It was exactly right for adventurers.

Haruki, who enter by himself at the famous bar, was discouraged at once.

"......there is no waiter coming to me."

He waited at the entrance, but the waiter didn't come to him no matter how much time passed.
The waiter realized some customers and let them who came later enter first!

"Excuse me!"

After Haruki shouted, the waiter finally approached him.

'This person just came, why did he shout.' (Waiter)
Such a gaze made Haruki want to cry.

'Hey, I have been waiting here for 10 minutes....'

After that, despite the struggling, Haruki tasted his beer.

"......ah, this is nice!"

'It has the taste of sake after a long time.'
'I had no chance to drink after the dungeons appeared and the price of sake soared.'

Although the price of beer at "Brave's Bar" seemed reasonable, a medium-sized beer still cost 2,000 yen, which was an unthinkable price if he didn't go to the dungeon before.

Haruki was not rich enough to drink without reserve.

"But today is special."

That was because Haruki passed through the Monsters Rampage.
'If not this, what else should I celebrate!'

Haruki enjoyed the taste of beer that he hadn't felt in a long time, little by little.

"Oh, excuse me. I'm sitting here."
"Hm? I seemed to hear a voice...... ah!? Sorry"

Sometimes an adventurer thinking the table was vacant would sit at Haruki's table, but he didn't mind.
'Human are creatures who make mistakes!'

When the beer in his middle size mug was halved, he heard laughter from the counter direction.
It was such big laughter that surpassed the voices of adventurers who were in "Brave's Bar".

When he turned his attention to them, he saw five adventurers wearing armour and carrying swords on each of their waists.

"I saw a really strange man. He was wearing a disgusting mask."
"He was the one who carried a dagger on his waist, right? I saw him too. I was in a panic and thought he was a monster for a moment."
"Eh, what's that? A beginner was equipping an entry-level dagger and wearing a disgusting mask, is he trying to set a character?!"
"Even his armour was an entry-level, His balance was too poor!"
"I'm sure he is a small fry that greatly twisted in the equipment direction."

'At that time, they burst out again.'

When Haruki listened to their conversation, he clasped the trembling fist under the table.

"......ugh!"

He gnashed his teeth and desperately suppressed his nearly overflowing emotion.

"No way......."

'There's no way I was seen by someone I didn't know!'

"What a great day!!" (Haruki)

They laughed at each other while using Haruki as the topic.
To use Haruki who had an Air-like presence as the topic!

'Could this be said to be the best day of my life?'

What made Haruki feel pain was when no one noticed him and he never became a conversation topic.

Even though it was a mockery, but being talked about meant he had a noticeable presence.

That was why Haruki was excited.
He even had a nosebleed due to his excitement.

As he drank his beer, he became a topic for others.

'Doesn't this mean that my presence has increased?'

"Excuse me, one more medium-sized beer, please!"

Ten minutes after he was excitedly ordering.
No waiter reacted to Haruki's order.

"......Hm, it seems they are busy today."

Although his order was ignored, Haruki's heart was really calm.
'It can't be helped if they are busy.'

The atmosphere started to change when a waiter cleared Haruki's empty mug.
'It seems that this bar is very busy that they have to clean up the table where the customer is still sitting.'

"Welcome! How many people are you? Please sit down in this seat."
"............"

A waiter directed the customer to Haruki's table.

'Yes, they are crowded.'

'......should I return soon?'


Haruki who had returned to the hotel was accessing "Let's Be" from a computer he borrowed.

'The Ranker Masatsugu is still on the expedition. There's no blog update.'
'It seems that people who receive beginner courses are in trouble because Bacon always takes off his clothes.'

'As for Shigure, there's no update.'
'Perhaps, she might be on an expedition.'

When he typed "Karen" in blog search, there were many "Karen" appeared.
He searched for "Karen" who was active in Sapporo from among them.

"Here it is."

'I seem like peeking at the diary of my crush.'
'This feels like I'm doing a bad thing, it's awkward.'

The title of her newest article was "Saved".

The content was about when she was abandoned by adventurers to the fact that she was saved by Haruki. Although there was no name written down, the detail of the incident was complete.

Finally, her blog was concluded with two impressive lines.

"I absolutely will not forgive those adventurers."

Then,

"Thank you for rescuing me."

'Those words, I received it properly.'
Feeling like his chest was stabbed, Haruki looked at the information on the blog.

Number of articles: 14
Number of bookmarks: 1043

By the way, the number of articles in Haruki's blog was 61 and the number of bookmarks was 0.

"............"

Haruki completely changed and made a complex expression.

There was something, a muddy like emotion, that surged from the inner part of his chest.

'Why is this world so cruel.......'

'He secretly closed her blogsite silently.'

"……now"

An hour after he locked the door, Haruki slipped into the bed.

【Path to be a noticed presence】

"Encountering a Monster Rampage > <"

Hello, I’m Air (^ o ^)

Today is not about the dungeon at my home, I have made a trip to Sapporo's "Chika-ho" (^ o ^)

I reached the 4th floor of "Chika-ho" for the first time!
There were Killer Rabbits, I had quite a hard battle (> _ <)

It was very difficult to match its habit to dodge or feint (^ _ ^;)

By the way!
I came across a Monster Rampage (> _ <)

I tried to face the Killer Rabbit Rampage a little bit.
But, my body became pretty tired (= =;

Thanks to them, I even got 101 horns today (^ ^) v

While carrying the money I earned today, I went to "Brave's Bar" which is often becoming the conversation topic!

The atmosphere inside matches pretty good with adventurers!
I came to like it right away (> _ <)
But I can't earn enough to drink alcohol every day....... (= =;

Those who haven't been there, please visit the "Brave's Bar".
That bar absolutely will not betray adventurers' expectations (^ ^)

However, it seems busy because it is rather flourishing (= =;

Today, I also did my best for levelling up!
I wonder? Is this one step further into the future where I will gain a presence?

 >> 578 Rest in Peace

580 Name: I hope normies killed by Monsters Rampage
It's not me!
I saw a blog write about he rushes into a Monsters Rampage.

582 Name: I hope normies killed by Monsters Rampage
Eek!
He is really stupid, an idiot!!

583 Name: I hope normies killed by Monsters Rampage
It's a lie.
It's impossible to return alive after attacked by Monsters Rampage.
Does that guy have habits of lying?

584 Name: I hope normies killed by Monsters Rampage
Do you think that it is a habit of lying?
However, it's regrettable.
There is a blogger who was in the same place.

585 Name: I hope normies killed by Monsters Rampage
Are you serious?
Is it a Monsters Rampage with only 4 or 5 monsters?!

586 Name: I hope normies killed by Monsters Rampage
There were at least 100 monsters.

587 Name: I hope normies killed by Monsters Rampage
I never heard about Air
I'm sure he is an action seeker.
Just ignore it.

588 Name: I hope normies killed by Monsters Rampage
Believe it or not, is depending on yourself.
However, it probably would be better to read half of his story.
Even rankers don't put their hands on Monster Rampages.

589 Name: I hope normies killed by Monsters Rampage
Is Air the blogger's name?
I want to bookmark it later.
It might be a fake account of a ranker who got banned.

590 Name: I hope normies killed by Monsters Rampage
Oh, that's a possibility.
I will bookmark it too.
If you have something else, please report it.

591 Name: I hope normies killed by Monsters Rampage

Why do you know his name?
