『Blown Away Dungeon』

　Why did Ashaspern get such a nickname?

　That is because of a 【Magic】used by the goblin mages in a dying state during the last boss' fight called 《Random Teleport》.

　《Random Teleport》 is a magic that's effect is ‘Teleports the target object to a random location 4 km away from the origin'.

　In other words, you are forced out of the dungeon.

　Therefore, 『Blown away dungeon』…… But that's not it. The reason why it started to be called as such was a certain discovery.

　On a certain day a report came up in Mobius wiki.

　The t.i.tle was “I was blown away to the day after tomorrow”.

　The contents were shocking. 《Random Teleport》 should move you only 4 km away, but the person reported that he was blown away a whopping 255 km.

　Many volunteers began to verify that report immediately.

　And the results were astonis.h.i.+ng.

　It was a very strange phenomenon. 「If a goblin mage activates 《Random Teleport》 while touching the corpse of the goblin king when it's disappearing, the movement distance will go from 4 to 255 km」. Since it was a one-in-million condition, it was a new fact that had not been known until then.

　The players made a fuss, calling it a bug.

　……But the truth was, this was not a bug, but a special trait.

　In the transfer magic system, the travel distance is determined by the amount of MP lost in the process. Therefore, it is a system where the more distant the place you go, the more MP it consumes.

　 In that case, it is determined that the moment the goblin king's corpse disappears, the entirety of the goblin king's MP is lost in that moment. That is, all of the goblin king's MP is added to the goblin mage's 《Random Teleport》, resulting in a teleporting distance of 255 km.

　Therefore, that s.h.i.+tty blown away incident led to the Ashaspern Dungeon earning the nickname 『Blown Away Dungeon』.

———————-

　I had completely forgotten this incident.

　That was because top players had little to do with lower cla.s.s dungeons.

“….Haa.”

　It was already too late when I remembered it.

　In front of me there is a large ocean, blue sky and  white clouds. There's sand at my feet and right next to me.

“Wha…!? “

　Yukari was wearing an expression of astonishment.

　Well, it would be strange not to be surprised by suddenly appearing at the beach. On second thought, seeing Yukari surprised makes her feel less doll-like.

“Don't worry. We were simply teleported by that goblin.”

“……Teleported? “

　Amazing. She already calmed down.

“Yeah. Probably about 255 km away from Ashaspern.”

“…………”

　Yukari looked at me with suspicious eyes.

　I can't help but to say it. It's the truth after all…

“Huh?　Oh!　The team was formed.”

　Suddenly I noticed that fact. It seems like that mage was the only one left after all.

“Hmmm.”

　I used the team-specific communication from the bottom right of the status window to contact Silvia, a little scared I must admit.

“Testing, testing… hey, can you hear me? “

“I-idiot!!　Where did you go!?　Are you okay!?? “

　Whoa!?　My ears are ringing!

“I-I'm fine. Just blown away by teleport magic. Silvia, you and Eko just wait at the town of Pae Ho while I return.”

“Is-is that so!　I'm relieved. How long will it take?　Hurry up and come back.”

“Hmm… maybe six or seven days. You can take a vacation in the meantime. Just relax.”

“………………HAA? “

“See youー“

“Hey!　Wait a mo――”

　I cut off the communication and looked at Yukari.

“……Is this really that far away? “

“Of course. There's no point in me telling a lie, right? “

“…Well, yeah.”

　Seemingly unwillingly, Yukari nodded.

　Now that I think about it, there will only be us two for a week.

　I would like to somehow deal with this trust issue―― while thinking such things, we proceeded to the north along the coast.

Thank you for reading.
