h.e.l.lo everyone, I'm sure some of you have read the translation from the prologue chapter.

Thank you to all who have read and provided comments and suggestions on the previous chapter.

Starting from this chapter, each chapter will be divided into two parts. This is caused by the length of the novel and my daily activities.

I will try to update every two days.

As an opening I have uploaded chapters 1 and 2.

Please enjoy the chapter :).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because it was past business hours on the day when he discovered the dungeon, Haruki contacted the office next day.

"Since my garage at home becomes a dungeon, I want to register it."

If you listen to this line five years ago it seems that you are crazy.

......While thinking that Haruki is conscious of the receiver which he put on the ear.

"We understand. So we will visit your home with a Self-Defense Team right away. "

In terms of voice quality, it seems to be male officials in thirties to forty-seven.

What do you think if you see yourself as I am when I joined the office? ......It was the owner of a shadow voice that seemed to have trouble such as.

I think that it is truly troublesome.

When I finished eating breakfast, police cars and fire engines refurbished in armored cars arrived in front of my house.

Haruki appears outside the house and greet the person in charge from government office.

"h.e.l.lo"

"Is this the dungeon? The owner is called Karabos.h.i.+."

"Excuse me (ano~u)"

"Oh, so slow. I will call him for a while."

"Excuse me!"

"Oh !?"

Screaming, finally government officer notice existence of Haruki.

Well. It is a usual thing......

In spite of being a usual thing, it is still cause a little damage for Haruki.

Although I wear a showy red s.h.i.+rt, I am not being aware.

On the other hand, after being noticed, it seems like "This guy's terrible, isn't it?".

In fact, it supposed to be.

The surrounding eyes are cold.

"I must sincerely apologize. Are you Karabos.h.i.+-san?

"Yes"

"Excuse me, does Karabos.h.i.+-san has a license?"

License is adventurer qualification.

Haruki draws it lightly.

"Yes, I got it this term"

"I see. Did you get into the dungeon already?"

"No. I thought that it would be better if you handled it first."

"That is a good judgment. Then may us install the barricade immediately? "

When Haruki nodded, four people of the Self-Defense Team took out sandbags and barbed wires from inside of car and started work.

The entrance to the dungeon is basically should not be blocked. If it blocks, an entrance will open in another place.

When it blocked up, it would open again in another place. Block it again and it would open in another place...... And it would repeat again.

In addition, it possible to haste stampede occurrence.

Stampede is a state where monsters are overflowing from the dungeon. As result most of the countries have been devastated by monsters. It is a dangerous phenomenon.

Even if stampede happens, barricade made by sandbags and barbed wires so it would not to be easily trampled.

So it can perform a prevention for emergency occasion.

Just making barricade for monsters is only work to delay their action for a certain degree.

To deal with that is the purpose of Self-Defense Team.

The Self-Defense Team is organized from police and firefighters.

They also knew as dungeon countermeasure.

They are responsible for thinning monsters overflowing from dungeon.

Of course the SDF (State-Defense Force) is so. However, in order to act on all over 200 dungeons in j.a.pan, the SDF alone is somewhat short of hands.

So police and fire fighters are helping defense by acting as Self-Defense Team.

Four men set up sandbags one by one as if they did not feel the weight.

I'm sure they are conducting anti monster training.

It is so fast.

A sandbag is installed so as to surround the garage, and a barbed wire is stretched around it.

At the entrance of the dungeon there were small doors and security cameras around the waist, IC card readers and retinal camera on it.

By the revision of the law after Stampede, dungeons are declared to be owned by the state.

In other words, entering without qualification is an illegal invasion.

If you do not do it, people entering with playful sense will have the worst ending, there are many incidents such as happening.

- In fact it occurred frequently.

That's why the country gave an official order "Do not enter, it is state owned!".

This is their last resort.

Securing s.p.a.ce for dungeon gate (the site entrance become considerably small), and barricade production work is finished.

"It is done with this"

Fast. It probably has not been an hour since the installation started. I am surprised at how fast it was.

How strong are they all together?

"By the way, is there anything that was taken by the dungeon?"

When the dungeon emerges, there is a nature to swallow everything above it.

Like Haruki's garage building, it is not swallowed unless it touch the stairway directly, if there is human or pet, it will be erased by the dungeon.

There are no cases yet, but the house will rarely be swallowed as a whole. 

Actually, there are some cases where the subway station become a dungeon, so the possibility is high.

"Actually...... my snowplow"

"It was...... really a disaster"

"Yes……"

They seemed to well understand the pain that lost the snowplow.

The mood in that area became worse.

"Do you want to enter?"

"That is the plan."

"Is that so. Please be careful. [Adventurer risking their lives] although it is said that, it is also important to survive."

"Yes. Thank you very much. Self-Defense Team too, I'm always grateful for your help."

Thank you for always protecting this city.

I guess that thought was transmitted. Even though the four men finished their work, they aligned with agile movements that do not feel fatigue, and each of them give a salute.

However, their line of sight is not fixed anywhere.

......Yup, they have not seen me yet.

That is also good!

Once returned to his room, Haruki launched the PC, he opened a website that he often visit.

"Let's Become an Adventurer!"

The so-called "Let's Become", it is a website for adventurers.

From blog that uploads the daily strategies, bulletin board that converse about various topics, request to collect monsters' materials, there are even WIKI about monsters and strategies.

Especially for the beginner adventurers this WIKI, it has contents that you should read generally.

There is a way to defeat particular monster. It weak point as weapon.

○ There is monsters that takes group action by hierarchy.

○○ There is rare boss that sometimes appear on the xx floor of the dungeon.

It is insanely strong, be careful.

No matter how much depopulated, dungeon information for the upper layer is definitely listed.

With or without that information will change the survival rate dramatically. Haruki also feel indebted to them. Haruki also feel indebted to them.

The reason why Haruki visited "Let's Become" is not for seeking dungeon capture information.

Haruki clicks on the sidebar, he visited a page.

That is adventurer ranking.

The total point based on blogs and quest achievement rate, it is a page where personal and team rankings from day-to-year are posted.

The position differs slightly between days and years, those on this ranking are generally called rankers.

When become a ranker, the probability to receive contract from various companies increase.

After signing contract with a company, they will provide prototype equipment free of charge; it is a good experience to receive new latest equipment.

Of course it is not only that.

Anyway it stands out!

Certainly if I become a ranker, my thin presence will be denser.

For Haruki, it is more important than the offer from company.

I want to escape from being an Air!

Haruki scrolls down to daily individual ranking, exhaling a heavy sigh as his body sunk into the floor.

"New dungeon is discovered! "

Last night I upload a blog article with such t.i.tle, but it seems that it did not appear in the ranking.

It supposed to be a very interesting t.i.tle......

Once it appears in the rank, page views will tremendously increase.

That's why I tried to earn points with a special kind of personal story that my garage becomes a dungeon.

Oh, so ruthless......

n.o.body sees the article.

In the reality and the internet, I'm still an Air.

As expected to increase the rank, it is useless with only journal.

Although I'm depressed, it is not possible to become that kind of ranker.

While comforting himself, it is only an adventurer who active in middle and lower layers can be a ranker, Haruki shut down the PC.
