After defeating the demon king in another world and returning to Japan, a dungeon appeared on the ground. - Chapter 50

Chapter 50

The next day, the class was talking about the boss battle of yesterday’s strategy group.

“Hey, hey, did you see the boss fight of yesterday’s capturing group!”

“Yeah, I saw it! Seriously, that was so exciting!

“I’m definitely going to be there! I swear, I thought the Red Knights would’ve been defeated! After all, their skills were almost worthless!”

“I was so excited! No one would have guessed that their healing skills would be its weakness.”

“But I’m really glad they won… if the Red Knights had lost, the guys from the TV station would have been killed along with the rest of the group.”

“You know… once again, dungeon shows are so reckless… I guess that’s why they get the ratings they do.”

While my classmates were talking about the excitement, I was thinking about the after-school dungeon search.

After watching the boss battle of yesterday’s squad, I felt like going deep into the dungeon and fighting strong monsters for the first time in a long time.

When I was in Arcadia, I used to do dungeon exploration by myself.

The strongest monsters I have fought recently are trolls, but to be honest, they are not enough.

The deeper levels of dungeons, especially those after the 80th level, are teeming with monsters so powerful that you have to use ancient magic to beat them.

I want to enjoy a challenging battle with these monsters.

However, it won’t be a good idea to explore the dungeon alone.

If a single explorer… moreover a high school student who has only been an explorer for a few days, were to break the record for the most dungeon levels reached by a single person, there would surely be an uproar.

If that happened, there would be some kind of investigation conducted regarding my identity, and it would surely become troublesome.

And that is something I certainly don’t want.

I became an explorer only for money, to save my little sister Miku from a life of poverty.

To achieve this goal, I don’t have to dive deep into the depths. It is enough just to defeat the boss monsters in the tenth and twentieth layers.

“I guess I have to endure…”

I figured it would be safer to give up fighting strong monsters for now and just lay low while earning money in the lower levels up to the twentieth level.

I decided on such a policy, while looking at my classmates who were in high spirits.

And then, after school.

After homeroom, I quickly packed my bags and left the school building.

I walked out of the school through the main gate and headed for the dungeon.

And on the way there, I heard sound,

“Nn…?”

I realized that someone or something was following me.

At first I thought it was just my imagination, but as time went by, I became more and more convinced.

Behind me, about 20 meters away.

Clearly, the behavior was that of someone following me.

What in the world was their purpose…?

“Maybe I should try to set them up…”

I felt a little creepy, so I turned off road and walked into a side alley.

My pursuer also followed me.

When I reached a place where there was no one around, I suddenly looked back.

The pursuer hid himself behind a telephone pole.

“Come on out. I’ve noticed you’ve been following me since a while ago.”

I said to the hiding stalker, but as if out of desperation, he emerged from the shadow of the pole and pulled off his hat, exposing his true face.

“Please forgive my rudeness, Seigo-sama. It is nice to meet you. This is what I am.”

He smiled at me as if nothing had happened, walked up to me and gave me his business card.

“Eh…”

My eyes rolled over in surprise.

The card had the name of a well-known explorer clan that everyone knew.
