Top Speed. It's a magic that increases your speed by a factor of seven.

　The "Weiten Ring" enhances the physical abilities needed to increase one's speed eightfold, and the same is true for "Top Speed".

'Well, you won't need it for Dr. Kalina, Tesshin, or Chika, but you will need it for Taichi, Arisa, and others.'

I see... I think it would be better to call it Batallion's secret magic for Mr. Tesshin and Ms. Karina."

What if we made "Thunderbird Push" the secret magic of the Battalion?"

Hmmm, sounds good to me."

　Feeling a little sleepy, I fell asleep in my giant tortoise shell.

　When I woke up after six hours of sleep, Elmore and the others were on guard.

Good morning."

'Good morning. Running Slugs and Alligator Flies don't seem to come close here.'

I guess that means this is Needle Chameleon territory. Well, let's have breakfast and go home."

　I finish my breakfast of French toast and coffee, put away my camping gear, and begin to make my way through the slug meadow.

　The stairs down to the twelfth level had not been discovered, but I was not inclined to look for them, given that I had to defeat a swarm of running slugs on the way back.

　Today we broke through the meadow again, defeating a swarm of running slugs. We defeated four swarms, but the only thing we harvested was a magic stone. I had hoped for a drop product, but as expected, with a probability of one drop per 10,000 animals killed, it was impossible.

　After returning to the ground, I went to the Adventurers' Guild and reported that I had collected ten layers of coiled peaches.

I've never reached the Coiling Peach Forest solo before," he said. You're the first person to reach the coiled peach forest solo, Mr. Grimm."

　The branch manager is impressed with the report.

What about Mr. Montaner?"

The transfer gate isn't working, so they're probably still trying to get to the middle tier."

　Even though he is a grade A magician, it would take him a long time if he had to conquer the place layer by layer. But with a guide, it should be quicker.

Is Mr. Montaner working solo?"

I offered to introduce him to a guide, but he said he didn't want anyone slowing him down."

If a normal adventurer said something like that, I'd judge him to be arrogant, but when you're dealing with an adventurer in the top hundred of the rankings, I guess it actually holds you back."

'That seems to be the case, since most adventurers with high rankings in the A-levels often work solo.'

　Since there are only one or two such adventurers in a country, it is difficult for people of the same level to form teams. As a result, they are often solo adventurers.

　I went through the process of putting the coiled peach up for auction. In auctions, the more times the same item is listed, the lower the bidding price becomes, but the bidding price of the coiled peach seems to be rising as the effect is proven.

　The branch manager told me that similar coiled peaches had been found in the dungeon before. At that time, there was a battle and all the unripe fruits were ripped off and the branches were cut down. As a result, the coiled peach tree disappeared.

　　　◆◆◇◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◇◆◇◆◆◇◆◆◇◆◆

　At the time when Grimm obtained the coiled peach, Amane was studying a technology called magical engineering at university.

　In the days when D-particles did not exist, there was such a thing as an integrated circuit. It was an electronic component consisting of a number of elements with various functions, such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors, on a single substrate.

　Like integrated circuits, magical engineering is a technology to generate magical effects by engraving magical elements with various functions on a magical substrate using the magical element engraving technique. Sorcery eyes and sorcery ears are also made by applying magical engineering.

　Amane mastered the granting magic called "Element Curve," which is the basis of the magic element engraving technique, and engraved magic elements on a magic substrate made of processed green magic stone.

"Whew, just a little more."

　Amane removed the magic goggles that were attached to her face. These goggles have a built-in function to visualize magic power. What is being made is a demon detection device.

　It detects the magical power emitted by demons and sounds an alarm.

How is your demon-detecting device coming along, Mr. Huang?"

　Professor Mitani, who teaches magical engineering, asked Amane.

　Amane smiles and replies.

Yes, I think it will be ready tomorrow or so."

I'm glad things are going well. By the way, some of the seminar students are going to the Suigetsu dungeon to mine for blue silver.

　Recently, when it became known that Amane was a C-level adventurer, he was often invited to join explorations to recover materials from dungeons.

　In a seminar with a small budget, activities to obtain blue silver and magic stones in dungeons were necessary. Since most of the seminar members are adventurers, they are prepared to take risks.

　Amane was allowed to use the equipment in the seminar lab, so she tried to cooperate as much as possible.

I understand. I'll go with you."

I'm sorry. I feel safer knowing that the students are less at risk when Mari is with us."

　The students in Professor Mitani's seminar are granted magic users. It is a risky proposition to go down to the nineteenth layer of the Suigetsu dungeon to mine for blue silver.

　Usually, we ask students who use magic and attack magic to escort us, but it is said that few students willingly agree to do so.

　Excluding Amane, three students will participate in this dungeon search. The three students seem to be able to use offensive and magical magic as well as grant magic.

　When Amane went to the Suigetsu dungeon, Yuria Kakimoto, a senior student, arrived first and was waiting for her.

Have a good day."

I look forward to working with you, Julia-senpai."

　Amane gets dressed and goes to the front of the dungeon.

Hey, what's with the bag?"

　Amane had a magic bag slung over her shoulder that she had borrowed from Arisa.

This is a magic bag. I figured you'd need it if you're going to carry Sogin around with you."

'Wow, you have all that stuff in addition to the magic pouch.'

It's not my personal property, it belongs to the team.

　While they were talking about this, the remaining two came and entered the dungeon. The remaining two are Yuuki Maejima

spirit (of the dead)

and Akio Kodama, both of whom can use magic equipment magic. Yulia can use offensive magic. All three are E-level adventurers.

　I made good progress up to the seventh layer, but while advancing through the forest area on the eighth layer, I encountered a group of Lizard Soldiers.

　They were a group of about six animals. The Lizard Soldier is not a swarming demon, so they seemed to have grouped together by chance. The other three men's faces were tense.

"Mi, everybody, we're pulling out."

　Maejima, the leader of the group, says. It seems that the six Lizard Soldiers are a threat to Maejima and his group. Hearing this, Amane felt that he had no choice but to deal with them.

The seniors, please wait here. I'll go take care of them."

　Julia shakes her head, a pallid look on her face.

No, it's not safe.

　Amane lets out a sigh. Amane has a face that is more of a pretty face than a beautiful face. Perhaps because of this, she tended not to be appreciated for her abilities, even though she knew she was a C-level adventurer.

You know that I'm a C-level player, don't you? I can kill as many as 30 Lizard Soldiers.

　Amane stepped forward and launched a series of "Pile Shots". Several D-particle piles pierce the chests of three of them, reducing the number of Lizard Soldiers by half. He then activates his Quint High Blade against the approaching Lizard Soldiers and cleaves them.

"Damn, it's not a blink-and-you'll-miss-it."

　Julia raises her voice loudly. It seems that Yulia and the others had no idea how powerful a Class C adventurer could be.
