Occupation: Dungeon Tester (Regular Employee)

Job Title: Warrior
“Well, where shall we go?” (Jiro)
“……” (Gray)
“Is that so.” (Jiro)
There are various environments in a dungeon.
In particular, our company is set up for heroes, so we are required to have defensive abilities.
Therefore, the contents of the dungeon are diverse.
But this time, there is something more important to focus on than defensive capabilities.
“What are the materials, or rather, what is required for a vampire marriage, Mr. Gray?” (Jiro)
“Clothing, decoration, food, and amulets.” (Gray)
That frivolous talk that has nothing to do with the job, but about what kind of drops I would need.
Which monster drops what kind of thing and what kind of monsters inhabits which dungeon is the key to choosing this dungeon.
I will procure everything I need, all of which Mr. Gray told that I would actually need, locally in the dungeon.
Mr. Gray told me how difficult it would be to have a vampire wedding, but that I would prepare for it according to my own capability.
A wealthy merchant uses people to show his financial power, and a warrior shows his power by using his strength.
Although there is a difference between financial power and military power, and I am the latter, I am equipped and in front of the dungeon, but unfortunately I have no knowledge of the dresses and ornaments that are customary in Ithar, so I have to rely on them.
“Can I get them in the dungeon here?” (Jiro)
I had intended to push myself to my limits for the sake of the girls, but I was at a loss to determine whether the items that Mr. Gray knows as offerings could be obtained in this dungeon because they were so unknown to me.
Should we look for monsters that emit threads that can be used to make cloth, or challenge a dungeon with a mine to unearth gemstones? I can’t get my hands on it now because it will be on the stage before the wedding.
Hence the question.
“I don’t know the dungeon here, so I think we should go to the other side, where I know the geography, but what do you think Mr. Gray?” (Might)
“Yeah, that’s better.” (Gray)
I had a question, but my two fathers-in-law seemed to be thinking differently from what I was thinking.
It is certainly better to head for a place you know than a place you don’t know, but the question is where that place is.
“Fathers-in-law, if you could please explain it to me in a way that I can understand.” (Jiro)
“Hmm.” (Gray)
“Oh, sorry. We have never been in a dungeon here either, so I thought it would be better to go to a dungeon with some information about them.” (Might)
“A dungeon other than this one?” (Jiro)
“Yes, even if this is a dungeon that holds the latest secrets of the Demon King’s army, we are not allowed to enter. If we are not sure, we can go to a dungeon on our continent.” (Might)
I am used to going in and out of this dungeon, but I guess that’s what happens when you are in a different place.
“I am not sure if it is safe for me to go to the dungeons on the continent. If I go to your continent, it means I’m going to cross worlds, right?” (Jiro)
“You’ll be fine. I heard there’s something called ‘Shine Show’. It’ll be used as an ID card.” (Might)
“Eh?” (Jiro)
A photo ID card like a car license was given to me a few days after I joined the company, but I didn’t think that thing had that much capability.
I was told at first to carry it with me at all times, and it was given to me in a special, lightweight, sturdy pass case, so I still have it with me.
“If you have it with you, let’s go now so we don’t waste time.” (Might)
“Got it.” (Jiro)
“……” (Gray)
Mr. Gray, I would like you to have more conversation with me if possible.
I started walking behind Mr. Gray who started walking silently, but he did not tell me where we were going.
I knew where we were going right away, though.
“The emergency exit?” (Jiro)
“No, it’s the Transition Area.”
A plate illuminated by electric light above a heavy door that looks like a fire escape that was installed on the side of the dungeon room.
The coloring is different and the writing is in Ithar, not Japanese, but the pose of a stick figure running toward the door is definitely the mark of an emergency exit.
Unlike the Japanese green, this one is red, but there is probably little difference.
“It is not unusual for the same facility to be located near a gate like this, since it takes a lot of time and effort to set up a spatial transfer station.” (Might)
“Is it like the main valve of the water pipe?” (Jiro)
It was written in illegible letters and I had not learned it, so I did not enter.
Mr. Gray took the lead in opening the door and entering, where a simple table was set up with a dark elf man who looked like a clerk sitting on a chair and two ogres in full body gear standing there, presumably acting as guards.
Beyond that, there is another door that looks like a firewall.
“Transfer procedure.” (Gray)
No, Mr. Gray, can’t you do something about you being at your own pace?
Because I can’t keep up with you.
“Three people?” (Dark Elf)
“Yeah.” (Gray)
“Please present your ID.” (Dark Elf)
No, I don’t know how to do the procedure, so I’ll just shut up.
When I present my employee ID card to the dark elf who is going through the procedures without hesitation, his eyes widen, though only for a moment.
I thought there was something wrong, but without being told anything in particular, he took out another document and presented it in front of Mr. Gray.
Mr. Gray read it over and signed it again without hesitation.
I had learned the language of Isreal, but I didn’t understand the content of the document because of the many words I didn’t know.
I also write down the entry requirements in the transfer procedure document that was given to me.
This was in Japanese, so I finished filling it up within a few minutes.
“Very well, please proceed to the back.” (Dark Elf)
“Hmm.” (Gray)
No, have a little more conversation, Mr. Gray. You’ve been giving nothing but sounds since a while ago.
Please say something, Mr. Might, don’t just chuckle.
I walked behind Mr. Gray, who was walking briskly.
When I was about to pass by an ogre, I glanced at his face and thought it might be the ogre I wrestled with at the banquet, and he seemed to recognize and smiled at me.
I lightly waved my hand at them and went straight through the door opened by another ogre.
“Come to think of it, what is the document Mr. Gray was writing just now?” (Jiro)
“It’s a guarantee. It’s a document that says Mr. Gray will be Jiro’s guarantor.” (Might)
“Is that okay?” (Jiro)
“Ahahaha, as long as you don’t get involved in any crimes, you’ll be fine. Unless there’s a serious problem, the guarantee is just a formality. I could have filled it up myself, but Mr. Gray did it quickly.” (Might)
The long hallway, which may have also served as a loading dock for supplies, was wide.
While we were talking and walking along, we saw a cart loaded with supplies on the other side of the corridor.
The other side of the corridor is loaded with supplies, and we pass by what appear to be employees of the Demon King Army who are returning home to their family’s homes.
The first thing I did was to talk to them about the subject rather than walking in silence for a long time, but I could not hide my surprise that Mr. Gray had completed an important procedure without much ado.
“Mr. Gray must be trusting you, who will become Ms. Memoria’s husband. So, I’m saying you don’t have to worry about it, and you don’t have to think too deeply. I am sure I would have done the same thing if I were in Mr. Gray’s shoes.” (Might)
Mr. Might explained smilingly to reassure me.
I guess that’s how much he trusts me and has taken the necessary procedures.
I looked at the back of Mr. Gray, who promised he would take responsibility if something happened to me.
I am not sure what he is thinking, but I am sure that he is thinking of Memoria.
I wondered if this was what a father moving behind would be like.
“Father-in-Law, Gray.” (Jiro)
“?” (Gray)
“Thank you.” (Jiro)
“……don’t worry about it.” (Gray)
The conversation was brief as I glanced back at him.
He didn’t seem to grasp for a moment what I was thanking him for, but when he thought of it, he responded in a way that he seemed satisfied.
So, I didn’t break the conversation there, but I tried to broach the subject and found out.
This person is clumsy, but not as reticent as I had expected.
If I ask him what he likes, he tells me what his favorite food is.
Once he got used to me, he would return questions.
We had a conversation with Mr. Might, and although this was a short trip for us to get to know each other, it was still a fulfilling time for me.
Just as I felt more at ease than yesterday, we reached the end of the road and stepped out into an open space.
“This is the transition circle.” (Might)
What I saw was a stone circle made of crystals.
Magical power always circulates, and in the center of the large magic circle, a huge amount of magical power always stagnates, misty magical power shines and stagnates.
People of various races of the Demon King Army are coming and going towards it.
Some go in, some come out.
Perhaps the center is the transition area, and to avoid collisions, the guides are organizing the line and move them toward the center.
We too, stand in line waiting for our turn.
“Next, three people, right?” (Guide)
“Yeah.” (Gray)
We waited quietly for our turn, and the line was moving quickly, so our turn came soon.
Mr. Gray, who is already leading this group, nods at the words of the lizardman soldier in armor.
For a moment, his gaze stopped on me, but I was spared by Mr. Gray’s handing out a letter of guarantee.
“Try not to act alone over there, unlike here, there are very few humans. Be careful out there.” (Guide)
“Yes, I will.” (Jiro)
I replied to the Lizardman soldier’s advice.
“Let’s go.” (Gray)
“If you are between me and Mr. Gray, we won’t have any problems. Shall we go, Jiro?” (Might)
“Yes.” (Jiro)
They start walking with me sandwiched between them and enter the magic mist.
It wasn’t pressure, but I felt a slight resistance, and for a moment the floor disappeared under my feet, but this time another floor with a different feel appeared.
Then, I sense a concentration of magical power, as if I had entered a dungeon.
If I continue to follow Mr. Gray’s back, which is slightly blurred, I will soon emerge from the mist.
“Dazzling.” (Jiro)
Light suddenly leaks out from the end of the haze and I involuntarily squint.
The source of the light is some kind of lamp-shaped lighting fixture.
They were placed all over the place, illuminating the rooms of this facility.
I almost stopped in my tracks, but Mr. Gray wouldn’t stop, so I continued on my way.
With a few uninhibited stares, we were able to leave the place that combines a collection point and a station by Mr. Gray showing them his guarantee several times.
“Huge.” (Jiro)
I, who had remained silent until then, involuntarily widened my eyes at the sight of the pale moon shining in the sky.
The moon, which, unlike the sun, is incapable of shining by its own power, shines on its own and illuminates the land, and I sense its power.
“Welcome to Anatares, the continent of the demons.” (Might)
I had just set foot on the continent where night reigns.
