Time passes and night falls.
Under the starry night sky, Ron walked out of the dungeon, crossed the brightly lit Adventurer Street, and came to the guild.
"Mr. Ron!"
As soon as I walked into the guild, Eina's voice came from not far away.
"You're finally back."
"It was your first time exploring a dungeon and your stayed there for so long. I thought something unexpected had happened."
"Well, you're not wrong."
"We did encounter some unexpected things."
Throwing down the oversized backpack on his back, Ron responded.
"I forgot to ask you for a bag to carry my things before I left."
"I only realized halfway through that I had no place to put the spoils."
"Where did you get this backpack..."
Looking at the fully loaded backpack behind Ron, Eina, who initially thought that the other party had found a team of adventurers to provide support, became a little confused.
"As for this, I got it from a group of adventurers."
Coming to the magic stone exchange window with Eina, Ron replied as he put the spoils from his backpack into it.
"I saw them being besieged by monsters when I passed by, so I rescued them and asked for a backpack as a reward."
"Save people?"
Eina was stunned for a moment.
Didn't Ron just receive God's grace today?
Is there really anyone he can save?
Or a squad?
Here's how it's done…
"Huh?"
Just when Eina was puzzled, she suddenly noticed something wrong.
"The size of this magic stone...wait!"
"Isn't this the Frog Eye material dropped by the Frog Shooter?"
"And this... is War Shadow's [Shadow Claw]?!"
As the guild's front desk staff, although Eina has never been to the dungeon in person, she is very familiar with the relevant professional knowledge.
Looking at the spoils that Ron kept taking out of his backpack, an expression of disbelief and surprise appeared on her face.
These items can only be dropped after reaching the fifth floor of the dungeon. How could a new adventurer like Ron possibly get there on the first day?
Thinking back to what Ron had just said, a terrible thought quietly arose in her mind.
"Mr. Ron, you are not..."
"I didn't steal it~"
As if he had guessed what Eina wanted to say, Ron raised his fist and waved it twice casually, just like when the two met for the first time.
"I told you, I'm very strong."
"It's just the sixth floor of the dungeon. I can come and go freely even if I don't have the grace of God."
"All right..."
Seeing Ron's confident look, Eina subconsciously chose to believe him and showed a bitter smile on her face.
This is so embarrassing.
I originally thought the other party was joking, but I didn't expect that he was actually quite capable.
but...
"Although you are very powerful, Mr. Ron, as your advisor, I still need to remind you."
"Monsters are only part of the danger in dungeons."
"The most dangerous thing there is actually accidents."
"The sudden appearance of the [Monster Banquet], the [Monster Gift] brought by adventurers, high-level monsters that fled to the upper floors, and powerful rare monsters."
"These accidents that may happen at any time and anywhere are the biggest dangers that adventurers need to face when exploring the dungeon."
The dungeon is a huge maze similar to a cone, and the area of the floors increases as you go down.
This time, Ron skipped levels 1 to 5. The maze was not complicated and the monsters did not have any dangerous characteristics, so it was not a big problem.
But if similar actions are taken next time, it will undoubtedly be much more dangerous.
"For your safety, Mr. Ron, I hope that when you explore the dungeon next time, you will advance slowly, floor by floor."
"Relax, I value my life."
"At least compared to those clueless youngsters, I am still very cautious."
After exchanging all the spoils, Ron took out a small bag and handed it to Eina.
"This is the thirty thousand faris needed for the guild's supplies."
"By the way, have you sorted out the information I asked you to organize before?"
"That has been sorted... please wait a moment."
Taking the bag from Ron, Eina walked towards the counter not far away.
After a while, she stood up from under the counter holding a stack of documents and came in front of Ron.
"This is all the information about the first 18 floors of the dungeon."
"If you don't understand something, Mr. Ron, you can always ask me."
...
After leaving the guild, Ron did not wander around anymore.
After packing up the documents he had applied for in advance, he returned directly to the base camp of the Hephaestus family.
Although he had only walked here once, Ron had already memorized the route. After twists and turns, he arrived at a guest room with ease.
Click~
"Ron~!"
A familiar scene happened again.
Just as Ron pushed open the door, a petite figure ran over from not far away.
"How was it like exploring a dungeon for the first time? Did you get hurt?"
"Well, it's pretty easy."
"As for getting hurt or something, there aren't any monsters that powerful where I go."
Patting Hestia's head, Ron walked into the room without any respect for his own god.
"Please help me update my ability values."
"Okay~"
Hestia followed with a smile on her face.
She doesn't particularly care about things like etiquette.
On the contrary, she thought that Ron's attitude was a sign that the child was willing to be close to her.
In her opinion, as long as Ron was not injured while exploring the dungeon, that was more important than anything else.
but...
Hestia's smile only lasted until she updated Ron's ability value.
"What the hell is this?!"
Looking at the ability value that had just been updated behind Ron, Hestia, who had just checked the specific content, widened her eyes and showed an expression of disbelief on her face.
"Are you cheating?"
