World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

When I came back to Nornil Heights, my aunt, who was in the janitor's office, called out.

"Mr. Atobe, Mr. Atobe. It's been a very busy day, you know, there were a lot of girls out there earlier. I hope you're young."

"Excuse me, I'm disturbing you. Three of my people will be home in a little while."

"Oh, yeah? The friendly parties, after the exploration... hey?

The aunt says, slightly reddening her plump cheeks. After the search is over, is there something like a custom?

"I'm also a beginner who's just reincarnated, so there's a lot you don't know. Something like a classic after an exploration, can something happen?

"Oh well, I can't believe you're a beginner... Mr. Atobe, how old are you now?

"Uh, 29..."

After reincarnation, the flesh has refreshed, or it feels like it was initialized, and the area where the rattle was coming from when I was working with livestock is healing. Not that I'm young, but I feel like I'm back when I was in high school.

"If you're Japanese, though you look younger than you are. Mr. Atobe, hey, you look like a decent adult. If we're still going to do this, I'll be there for you, and we're going to have an exchange with our employees' kids."

"Uh... ah, yes. I'm busy every day so far, but I'd like to talk to a variety of people. But I might start moving my quarters tomorrow."

"Well... I knew it was amazing, you wanted to be in our room on the first day. I will also tell everyone that Mr. Atobe is a promising man. And then you're a beginner, because it's not that embarrassing."

…… As such, well, it would be helpful if you didn't spread it too flashly. Keep in mind that there are some hard-working rookies. "

"Yes, I know that very well. I've been at the inn for years, too."

They seem to listen to such requests, but will they pass on some of them to employees as well? It would be unusual to be a newbie to move to the Royal Suite in two days of reincarnation, and even if you want to talk about it, you can't force it.

I can't stand a door in people's mouths, but I only want it if it comes when I really need it to get fame - even if it's rumored here it won't be that much of a problem because it doesn't seem far away when I leave District Eight.

I can verify my sequence with a license, but I don't know about other people until I meet them in person or ask an informant. In other words, it is not easy to feel there because it does not automatically let the license holder know his name at the time the sequence goes up.

◆ ◇ ◆

As we tried to go up the stairs to the third floor, Teresia stops once more on the dance floor of the stairs.

"What's up?

…………

She says nothing. Look up the stairs, look at me again.

"You mean something's going on ahead and it's hard to get there?

I was just wondering if it meant there were other guests. I was just wondering if I could hear a cat or something, but I realized that was a hell of a voice.

(Yes, no... Thin business hotel on the wall or something, I do hear voices like that... ho, are you serious...?

So I just realized what my aunt was trying to tell me to go away.

If it was a party between a man and a woman, and members were socializing with each other, etc. Or if you were a couple, after a successful exploration, if you feel uplifted and have an evening - well, no wonder that's what happened.

Not surprisingly, this awkwardness is not halfway through. Theresia won't say anything, but I'll be responsible for breaking this air here.

"Hey, sounds like you're taking something in. Are you making a scene with the door open? If that's the case, I need a word of caution."

…………

I'll go first, I'll go upstairs in the hallway. Then the door in the back room was slightly open.

(No, it's someone else's private and I'm not closing it... I hope you guys haven't heard this voice)

…………

"Oh, I'm sorry. I know you're surprised to bring me here at a time like this, because it's basically quiet."

Theresia snorts, now she leaves me and goes up first. Going up to the third floor, the floor was thick or fortunately I couldn't hear much more.

And what I found out was whether the lizard mask was even integrated until the subhumanization was solved, or still subtly reddened. I've never seen a lizard to be ashamed of, but Teresian gear doesn't even cover my whole body, so my skin is also red.

Compared to earlier, she is subtly opening her distance from me. And I'll be looking over here frequently until I get to my room, so this should reassure you properly, not if you're saying it's awkward.

"Teresia, too, will be fine to take another room from tomorrow. 'Cause you brought me into my room, and, you know, I don't have to do anything like that."

Theresia looks at me. The mouth peeking from the lizard mask is still straight tied. But it wasn't just the lizard mask, it was red from neck to mouth.

…………

"It's okay, you're right. I just went through the process to get Theresia in my crew, and I didn't buy Theresia on a ticket."

That being said, she left for a while and nodded. But the redness doesn't pull off at all - well, is the influence of alcohol significant?

"I'm talking about something important, and I'm sorry... can I give you one piece of advice?

"Wow, I'm surprised. Elitia, and Suzuna... where have you been?

"It was a little windy there at night. It looked like there was a cat voice somewhere..."

"Well, yeah, it sounds like you have a loud cat."

They were out on the balcony on the third floor, apparently. I seem to hear voices upstairs when I go outside, but I'm glad you haven't actually noticed what they are.

I didn't think you'd be concerned about soundproofing the room after you reincarnated. I would appreciate it if the next room could use luxury building materials and show the bottom line of construction technology in different worlds.

"So, Elitia, what do you call advice?

"Rooms rented to a single party are limited according to the number of people they can live in. You, how far up did the sequence go in this precinct?

"I'm going to go up to seventh and do an inside look at the Royal Suite tomorrow..."

"The Royal Suite has a capacity of six, so the occupancy capacity will be six. The number of people in a single party is set at eight, and the total number of people who can live can only rent a room up to eight. Me and Suzuna live together..."

"Ellie originally rents a room in Ward 5, so her room in Ward 8 is temporary. If I could get my sequence up, I'd be talking about renting a new suite."

Then there will be two rooms for Elitia and Suzuna, and six for the Royal Suite, otherwise you will not be able to rent a new room.

"I think we should talk and live together if possible because choosing a small room would make the facility worse. Bad beds slow down fatigue recovery."

The horse hut talked about only recovering traces of health and magic. If you think you're uncomfortable sleeping and can't get tired, naturally.

But I thought to myself that this was the end of the cohabitation. When I think it may continue in some cases, I get embarrassed when I face to face with Mr. Fifty Storms.

"So... suppose you take a look at the room and decide? When you get up to 7th arrondissement, you're gonna start over again from your little quarters."

"The dormitory can rent the same room for a week, so we can start exploring the Royal Suite as a base. If you want to live permanently in one place, you have to buy a property, but it's so expensive, and it's made up of three star seekers who can have a home."

I just got two stars, but three doesn't seem that far. For once, let's ask the terms.

"How can I get up to three stars?

"First, going to District Seven. When the contribution reaches 10,000 in that guild, you will be presented with some challenges, so completing it will give you 3 stars."

"Okay, I'll remember. Are you two leaving already?

When asked so, Elitia and Suzuna smile face to face.

"Misaki rented your bed... can I wait for a moment until she wakes up?

That's what Suzuna said, the door to the room opens. It was Mr. Luisa and Mr. Fifty Storms who came out.

"Dear Atobe, welcome home. Sorry to disturb you first."

"I'm going to take a bath, please leave a message. Misaki's falling asleep in your back bed, so leave him alone until he wakes up."

"Wow, I get it. He's on his own in people's beds..."

"... Ah. Suzuna, when I get back to my quarters, I won't be able to make it to bath time."

"You shouldn't go in there any other time... duh, what shall we do? I'm sweating, and I'm still exploring with Mr. Alicht tomorrow..."

- There's a big stream coming. No, I guess it's a lot of trouble.

"So shall we all come in together? For a fee, but I can borrow a change of clothes"

"Yes... it's an emergency measure, so you have no choice. Is Suzuna okay?

"You said you wanted to take a bath, didn't you, Ellie? We'll be fine together."

"Then you've made up your mind. Dear Atobe, I'll see you later."

Mr. Louisa wrapped up the story and took him with everyone to the bathroom on the ground floor. When I walk into the room with Theresia, I sit on the sofa in the living room.

"Uh, I'm tired of everything... Teresia, sit down anywhere and make it easier for me"

…………

"Hmm? Oh... maybe you want to take a bath?

I was wondering if I could take a bath because I have lizard gear, but if it's integrated, maybe I'll take a bath with my gear on. Would it be okay if I washed it properly?

Theresia tries to say something, but she still keeps her mouth shut and slowly checks inside the room. And it even came behind my couch.

…………

"You can always sit down. I'm just curious."

Looking back, Teresia tilts her little neck and looks at this one, too. At first, the powerful lizard head also looks adorable now.

"Yes, I got a level today. Let me see if I can confirm my new skills."

…………

Theresia understood that skill was the lifeline of the seeker, and she sat on the couch, not behind me. I don't mind being looked at, but I wanted it to be easier, so I'll take it as a good idea.

(Well... can you acquire new skills?

◆ Skills acquired ◆

Supporting Defense 1: Reduce the number of hits taken by the previous ally by 10 points.

Supporting Attack 1: Deals 10 points of Strike in addition to the previous ally's Attack.

Assisted Heal 1: Heal your previous ally for 5 points every 30 seconds.

◆ Acquirable skills ◆

Support Boost 1: Increase the morale of the fellow in front by 10 points.

Front behind: Spend 5 points of magic and expand your vision to the rear for a certain amount of time.

Eagle's Eye: Improves situational awareness when in the back row.

Backstand: Secure your position behind the object.

BACKDRAFT: Automatically counterattack when attacked from behind.

Skill Points Remaining: 3

(Oops... all four are gaining new skills! You should have checked properly when you got to level 2)

Apparently, there are two skill points you get for each level 1. Don't waste valuable points, but just looking at the description of the skill increases the tension.

Of all the biggest concerns, I have the skills to cover to some extent the risk that I will be directly attacked by the guard. 'Backdraft', meaning when the flames are burning in a closed space, was it the one where when the door is opened, oxygen is supplied at once and an explosion occurs?

If you can only fight back against attacks from behind, you still remain vulnerable to attacks from the side, but it can't be a complete defense at level 3, or the 'rear guard' could always be a problem to face. It's a powerful job, but I know it's not perfect.

Other skills are interesting. Since the "Support" skill is always activated and does not seem to consume magic, should it be taken as a whole? Maybe there's some kind of "support" penalty just because I don't know.

Teresia looks at me thinking about which skills to take. I want to check her skills again, and I want to hear about everyone else - tonight or tomorrow, I look forward to having a meeting.
