Awakening to a Special-Grade Explorer

Chapter 3

The meeting place this time is on the lawn in front of the facility entrance.

There is a law that prevents buildings from being built within a radius of 50m in front of the entrance to the dungeon facility, and almost every dungeon has such an empty Lawn.

Its also convenient for explorers, who often meet here before heading beyond the entrance to finalize the operation plans.

In such a square, Tenji found the captain of the raid party this time.

It seems that most of the participants had already gathered, and nearly 30 people gathered in one place to chat, do warm-up exercises, and di final maintenances of their weapons.

It seems that the captain of this raid party discovered Tenji, and he slowly walked up with a smile.

Godo-san, please take care of me today too.

Oh, Tenji-kun! Nice to meet you today! I heard from Kuro-san that your classmates will also be participating Oh, is that you?

Godo answered with a gentle smile and immediately turned his gaze to Asagiri Manaka, who was next to me wearing a different colour uniform.

His eyes seemed to be appraising her for her power as an explorer, as he would never size her up as the opposite sex.

That should be the case, and from now on, we will go to a dangerous place where we will be able to leave our lives to each other. A person who is drunk by a moment of sexual desire cannot be appointed as the captain of a medium-sized raid. Not to mention that you cant belong to a famous guild.

Godo Maskai is a 35-year-old third-class explorer. His calling is [Commander], an explorer who is very good at dealing with friends.

His special characteristic is his cat-hair-like, wavy hair, and although he has reached an age where I can call him uncle, he looks as young as the latter half of his 20s.

He cares a lot even for a mere baggage holder like Tenji and people around, gaining him a good reputation.

His recent worry is that no matter how he tries, he couldnt get rid of the wrinkles under his eyes. He is also playful and is loved by junior explorers.

This is the third time Tenji has joined the party through his acquaintance Kuro Akito. Because they knew each other already, the greetings of the two ended quickly.

Y, yes! Thank you for your time today!

Asagiri raised her voice a little as she greeted him.

Oh, nice to meet you. This seems to be the first time you dive into the dungeon itself. But dont worry. Even if we say its a raid, we dont plan to dive so deeply this time. Were just going to collect a certain item at the request of the company.

Yes, I have heard that.

Miss is in the same explorer high school as Tenji-kun?

Y, yes I am!

Do you have any Inherent abilities? What is your Inherent Ability?

My Inherent Ability is [Wapon Enhancment]. I hope it will help you a little!

Hmm, thats a rare one! Well, we dont plan to fight such a strong enemy this time, but I dont mind if you use it occasionally when were practicing. Thats right Hey Rui!! Come here!

Godo summoned a young man who was doing a careful warm-up at the meeting place.

His short hair, which has been dyed gold, stood up with wax, his height should be at the latter half of 170 cm.

It is easy to see that the muscles of his whole body have been properly trained and that he has spared no effort since he was little.

His outfit is the same as Tenjis high school uniform, but if you look closely, the colour of the uniform is based on the blue fabric that is characteristic of attacker, and I was able to catch a glimpse of the yellow inner suit sticking out from the neck.

(The yellow inner suit must have been a second-grade item. Amazing.)

What happened? Uncle

Rui, two of the same explorer high schools as you are scheduled to join as luggage carriers today. This missy seems to also have an inherent ability called [Weapon enhancement]. You should cooperate with each other.

Ohhh Isnt it Asagiri-san. And theres also Amashiro.

Are you guys acquainted?

Were in the same class. Well, nice to meet both of you today. I dont need Asagiri-sans power. I, myself is enough.

He gave a casual greeting and started his warm-up again.

Seeing that, Godo sighed.

Ah, Im sorry. Hes my brothers child Amashiro-kun should know him, right? Elder brother Flame?

Yes, I know him. Inagaki Enn-san is one of the few first-class explorers isnt he? I have met him only once, but I didnt know that Inagaki-kun was the child of that person.

Yeah, he works hard, but because of that, he became a little conceit. Please forgive me because I think its the cute rebellious period for children.

No, its true that Inagaki-kuns Inherent abilities are powerful.

It really saves me if you say it like that. Well, in terms ofdungeon experience, Tenji-kun is better. Its only the second time for Rui, so hes probably nervous. Well, Im looking forward to working with you two. If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask!

As soon as Godo says so, he returned to work.

This times medium-sized raid is managed by a famous guild called [Chariot], and Godo is also a member of that guild.

The members of Chariot gathered at the center and started the final discussion.

Seeing that, Tenji decided to work immediately.

Asagiri-san, have you done your warm-up yet?

Oh, um Im sorry, I havent done it yet.

Okay, dont worry. Its an unspoken rule that luggage carriers should come at the last minute, so please do it at home from now on. Then, Asagiri-san, please warm-up now.

Ah, yes. What about Tenji-kun?

Ill be gathering the raids luggage first, I also need to check if there are any fragile items.

Its surprisingly difficult to be a luggage carrier.

It doesnt matter after you get used to it. Compared to the fighting explorers this is nothing.

Thats right Thank you for the information.

Then, Im going first. Call me when youre done.

O, okay!

Tenji was a little worried that she answered a little nervous.

The luggage carriers job is to carry the luggage without dying.

Position yourself out of the way of the explorer and keep up with the pace of the explorer. This is the minimum etiquette for it.

Its a tough job, but because its a job where you have to put your life on the line, it pays quite well.

That said, Tenji has already done the job of Luggage carrier many times.

With an experienced movement he gathered all the luggage and carefully put it in a big bag provided by the guild.

At that time, it is also part of my job to collect it while asking if there are any instructions on how to carry it.

Tenji, who has already stepped into the veteran range of carrying luggage, can complete the work in just five minutes.

There are three bags in total this time.

The participants this time is on the smaller side.

When the preparations were completed, Godo, who had finally confirmed the plan with everyone, came to Tenji.

Oh, After Tenji-kun is good. Do you need a luggage trolley?

A luggage trolley is for when there is too much luggage or if there is not enough luggage carriers.

But if you bring it into the dungeon the fee will be really expensive so most Guilds avoid it. (Tl: forgive me but his might change in the future cuz me bad translate.)

Tenji answers by pointing at the three bags that were together nearby.

It looks okay today. I can carry 2 and Asagiri-san can carry 1.

Thats good, this means that the budget would stay afloat!

Then can you give me a bigger pay?

Huh, negotiate for it later.

I will.

In this way, all the preparations were completed.

Soon after, Asagiri finished her warm-up exercise, at the directions of Tenji, she carried one baggage on her back, and Tenji carried two bags on his back and his front.

At the time of departure, and the participants formed a circle.

While scratching his head, Godo stepped forward.

Im Masaki Godo, the raid leader this time. As you know, this time were going to collect an item at the request of a company that Chariot is aquatinted with. Our goal is the third boss on the 15th floor where the item is. It can take up to a week, but hopefully, we can do it in less than three days.

All the participants nodded.

This is because the work content was exactly what we had heard in advance, and there were no changes.

Well, this time we have a person with a second-grade calling [Commander]. Lets explore it easily and earn a lot!

When Godo laughed and threw out the words, everyones tension eased a little.

This is probably because Godo, which is highly evaluated in the area of explorers, will be the leader of this raid.

As he said, his second-grade calling [Commander] will increase the rate of success of the raid significantly.

The explorers can relax in their hearts just because there is Godo-san.

Lets go! This time, three exploration high school students will also be participating. Lets show them a good scene!

Thus a medium-sized raid with a total of 34 people began.
