Lets be an Adventurer! ~Defeating Dungeons with a Skill Board~ 124

Lets Talk It Out With Kagemitsu!

Yo, Air!

Good evening, Mr. Kagemitsu.

The moment Kagemitsu showed up, the interior of the armor store became a little brighter.

This is the influence of a presence powerhouse!!

On the other hand, the light seemed to have become a little dimmer where Haruki was standing

Nonono, Im just standing in the corner.

Im just standing in the corner, I tell you!

Uhhh

That lighting was like a warm welcome. Haruki rumbled with jealousy at the strength of Kagemitsus presence.

Lets talk outside, Air.

Sure. Thank you very much.

Haruki bobbed his head at the clerk as they left the store.

When he raised his head, for some reason the clerk seemed to be looking at Haruki with a piercing gaze.

As soon as they left the store, Haruki felt as if the bright light that Kagemitsu had emanated just a few moments had turned into a shadow that was cast over the two of them.

What happened?

Weve got a problem, Air.

A problem?

Haruki tilted his head to the side.

Is the Dungeon Lord too strong or something like that?

Ah, no, its not that. We havent been able to get into the dungeon at all.

You havent been able to get into the dungeon?

Harukis doubts grew deeper.

He couldnt see what Kagemitsu was trying to say.

Its the Self-Defense Force Theyve blocked the ticket gate.

Huh? The Self-Defense Force did what?

Id like for us to settle this with our own strength.

Kagemitsu spoke with a bitter smile across his face.

His face looked as if his nose had caught the stench of old garbage.

I dont get it The reason we came here in the first place was that weve been asked to come deal with the Dungeon Lord, right?

Haruki was worried that the request had been invalid all along since the Self-Defense Force had blocked the dungeons entrance.

However, Kagemitsu shook his head.

The request is perfectly valid. Ive asked around and learned that Ichibishi is involved

I see. But then, why cant you enter the dungeon?

Its a different department. The Self-Defense Force is in a different department from the one where the request to defeat the Dungeon Lord came from. Thats why theres such a conflict.

Ah, I see.

Is it like a printing company where sales and production are different departments?

Haruki finally understood the meaning of Kagemitsus words.

The reason why they couldnt build a cooperative relationship despite sharing the same purpose is that there wasnt a consensus.

In that case

What if we fight under the Self-Defense Forces command?

Hmm

The moment that unique-species monster is defeated, the request will be cleared, right? We dont have to be the ones delivering the final blow anyway.

Thankfully, this request will be deemed cleared as soon as they can verify that the Dungeon Lord was defeated.

In this case, leaving command of the situation and fighting under the Self-Defense Force could be a good idea as well.

I guess that could work.

And even if we arent the ones to defeat it, well still get paid as long as they can verify its gone.

An evil smile appeared in Harukis face.

Oh, youre quite wicked, Air.

Hehehe. Not as bad as you, Kagemitsu.

The two let out a nasty laughter.

However, both of them became serious instantly at the same time.

But are we really okay with that?

Hmm. Were adventurers after all.

How can we call ourselves adventurers if all wed be doing would be watching them do their best?

It was impossible to put ones life at stake and hunt monsters with normal nerves.

When one has a normal job and earns normal money, and really needs a monster defeated, one can simply use that money to hire someone to hunt it down for them.

I cant stay still while a monster is right in front of me.

I cant calm down unless I fight it.

I have to have an adventure.

Thats how adventurers are.

And there are those who use adventuring as a means to give their life away for a purpose

Haruki and Kagemitsu were similar in that regard.

There was no way they could just stay there watching silently, relying on others to do their job for them.

Well then, to be under their command would mean to be in charge of logistical support. Would it be alright to stay low, and come to the front as soon as things get too dangerous?

Kagemitsus idea had the goal to reduce their presence during the fight.

Nonono, well just pretend were under their command, and then we jump in and defeat the monster instantly. How about that?

On the other hand, Harukis idea had the goal to increase their presence.

Mmhghh

Uhhghhh

Haruki and Kagemitsu were similar.

However, their goals were different, and as such, their opinions would be against each others best interests.

For a while, the two stared at each other with crackles and sparks jumping in between their gaze.

Either way, Id like to go to the Headquarters of the Self-Defense Force tomorrow.
