Hello everyone,
Due to the frequent delay in chapter releases, I decided to start pre-release the unedited chapter.
The edited version will be released immediately when the editing process is complete.
I will leave the editor name blank for the unedited version

That's all from me.

Enjoy the chapter :D

Probably there are more than 100 monsters.
Haruki, who finished off the Killer Rabbits' rampage by fighting continuously with his whole energy for 30 minutes, fell to the floor with his back, after making sure no monster was still alive.

A soft feel was transmitted to his back.
He totally forgot that he was fighting while carrying a bag full of meat.

The inside of his throat, body, and head was hot.
Haruki was breathing frantically.
His body trembled as soon as he began to relax.

'If at that time I was hit by an attack.'
'If at that time I let the Killer Rabbits through the passage.'

His body trembled little by little when he was thinking of the worst results.
It was really nice that such a future didn't occur.

Haruki was laughing in the middle of his thought.
'The battle with monsters was fun.'

But the emotions and fears he showed were different.
It was like a roller coaster or a haunted house, fun and scary at the same time.

So, Harumi is now laughing while frightened.

"Ah, I'm glad I'm alive."

He severely experienced the value of life.

"Um......."

A delicate voice arrived in the ears of Haruki who was breathing roughly.
It felt stiff, but it was a gentle voice like a little dog's caress.

"Yes?"
"Huh!?"

The girl frightened as he turned his face.
By the way, he was still wearing a strange mask.

'Hm..., well, alright.'
'I would still notice you, even if you didn't shout!'

"So what?"
"......tha, thank you for helping me."
"That is nothing......"

Haruki's words didn't last beyond that, because she held Haruki's hand while looking at him with her red eyes.

"Really, really...... thank you very much. I thought I was dead. When I was abandoned by my adventurer group...... I thought I was finished......."

While sipping her nose, again and again, she continued to say her thankful words.

'Ah.......'
'I'm glad that she is alive.'
'I'm really glad that she save.'

From the bottom of Haruki's heart, a warm emotion gradually raised.

Because if she passed away, it would be impossible to express her painful and hopeless like this.

After Haruki's breath calmed down, he picked up the corner of the killer rabbit's corpses that filled the floor surface.

'As expected, it is impossible to carry more meat, and it is not tasty if it is butchered without bleeding. Even if I forcibly bring it back and sell it, the most I can earn is only a small amount of money.'

The total number of horns was 48.
Haruki's bag wasn't enough, so he decided to make her hold it.

Hah, hah, hah. (TLN: SFX of exhausted breath)
'With this, my income will increase!'

'I somehow managed to recover the armour expenses, and managed to gain more income.'

"......I am Kurosaki Karen, thank you so much for your help."
"Ah, I'm glad you are safe."
"Um, are you a Sapporo's ranker?"
"No, I'm an ordinary low-class adventurer."

Sapporo also had strong people who were within the 100 ranks of "Let's be" ranking.
But Haruki was not included.

"Low class!? Then, why did you jump into the monster rampage!?"
"Ah, um...... I was in a daze?"
"It is a monster rampage that even an adventurer active on the 9th floor of "Chika-ho" escaped, isn't it? I can't believe a low-class adventurer cutting through it just because you were in a daze."

Karen stared at Haruki's eyes with a serious expression.

"Do you have a reason not to reveal your identity?"
"Well......."

As Karen said, Haruki had a reason to not say it.

The fact that Haruki was able to annihilate the rampage was thanks to the skill points he allocated.
He wanted to explain it.

However, he was able to annihilate the rampage only because he allocated the skill points.
How great the uproar created from this fact could be.......

Every adventurer, without a doubt, would try to obtain this skill board.
Even by killing Haruki.

"Oh yeah, were those three adventurers your acquaintances?"

Haruki, who was troubled with the answer, forcibly changed the topic.

"No......."

Karen pursed her lips and gave a gloomy expression.

"They were members of a team I recruited on the website. I thought they would help me to subjugate monsters...... but."

'I guess it reminds her of the time when she was abandoned.'
Tears slightly gathered in her eyes.

If they were ordinary people, it would be inevitable abandoning her and running away.
However, it was not a problem that could be overlooked if they were adventurers abandoning her, a novice.

Moreover, they planned something bad.......
While recalling their conversation, Haruki's stomach was eager to move.

An adventurer is a profession that protects people.
You must never act violently or abandon someone weaker than yourself.

Of course, there were scenes where there was no choice but to abandon strangers.
There might be circumstances that even team members must abandon them.

However, they abandoned the job they undertook themselves.

That's why Haruki's condition became worse.
Haruki couldn't accept their behaviour that insulted the rankers, that he admired and other adventurers.

*********

"Hey look, my store's income is more than twice of 200% last year!"
"Grrrr......."

Yutsuki Akane closed the armour dealer at five minutes past five o'clock and went to the neighbouring jeer, a material purchasing station.

She fluttered today's sales report in front of the big plain well-like branch manager.

"Hey, how is this store's achievement? How is it?"
"Noisy, you are so noisy! Even though we're both branch managers, I'm your senior, aren't I? Don't you know something like a proper attitude?"
"In this world, results are everything. The young and beautiful me who can show a good result, compared to you who are a little older with ordinary appearance and ordinary results, don't you understand who is superior?"
"Who is old!?"

'What an intolerant person are you?'
'I just fanned you a little, but your face became red.......'

'Yup, this feels great!'

"If you are annoyed, why not try to surpass me with something other than age?"
"Grrrr"

Naturally, this big plain well-like woman attitude and her poor character nothing for Akane...... or it should be.

It was said that it's good to be young.
With hatred as the detonator, the big plain well will be making efforts to increase her performance from now on.

In other words, all of her behaviours were for the company ......probably.

When Akane was fanning the material store's branch manager, a pair of male and female adventurers entered the store.

"Welcome."

The branch manager was letting out a soft call, and her expression which was fanned by Akane disappeared completely and it changed into a business smile.

Usually, she will issue fanning words from the side if she was seeing a situation like this.
But Akane's consciousness was taken by the man of the couple.
