Lanthanum Dungeon, 20th floor .

Mao・Mi, the chairman of Flint Association was with me on this floor .
Looking around me, there was nobody else besides us .
[It’s a loan nano!] (Mao)
Mao said with an innocent looking smile, which suited her petite look .
[A loan?] (Ryouta)
[That’s right . Because you requested Mao, Mao asked all of the adventurers to stay away from this floor, so you are loaning from Mao . ] (Mao)
[Are you sure you should do such a thing?] (Ryouta)
[It’s fine . There’s no place in this world that has a higher priority than asking you a favour . ] (Mao)
Mao said something with that innocent look on her face .
It’s amazing for her to say that to me .
At that time, inside the chairman’s office of Shikuro .
Cell and his men were doing paperwork .
[Hm?] (Cell)
[Is something the matter, Cell-sama?]
[I just received a revelation . ] (Cell)
[revelation?]
[It is a revelation whereby we have to show to each other, showing our own beliefs to one another . ] (Cell)

[I apologize for not understanding, but please do your best . ]
[——–!] (Ryouta)
[What happened? Why the scary look?] (Mao)
[It’s nothing, I just have this sudden chill… . It’s just my imagination . ] (Ryouta)
It felt like something was going on in someplace which I did not know of, but I decided to brush it off .
[Anyways, what do you want to do with the sword?] (Mao)
Mao asked as she saw me holding onto the sword .
[I’ve done my research, but the number one most used weapon for adventurers are swords . ] (Ryouta)
[Yes nano, it’s an easy to use weapon, that’s guaranteed by Mao . ] (Mao)
[That’s why I have it now . ] (Ryouta)
[Mao doesn’t know what’s happening, but Mao will cheer for you . ] (Mao)
[Thanks . ] (Ryouta)
I grabbed hold of the sword .
It’s something that I’m not familiar with .
After coming to this world and defeating rogue monsters, I’ve only been using the bullets and revolvers and some magic, but never the weapons of this world .
But right now, it is necessary to use it .
The monster of the 20th floor, the flaming ninja .

A monster with flames all over its body, and wearing a ninja clothes .
Then, the flaming ninja who noticed me, stormed its way to me, and tried to slice me with the hidden sword on him .
I stopped it with my own sword, and both metals clashed with sparks flying around .
The ninja took a step back, and swung at me again .
Before it could attack again, I slashed at it, and it fell to the ground, dropping sake .
Today’s regime wasn’t to collect the Bodley・Ryouta, but to train for my sword fight .
After walking around for a little while, another flaming ninja appeared .
I didn’t immediately defeat it, but observed his every movement .
The flaming ninja was easy to understand .
There are two patterns of attack when rushing, depending on which leg moves first .
If it moves with its left leg first, it’ll pull out its sword, but if it moves with its right leg first, then it’ll throw a shuriken .
And when it turns around, seemingly doing nothing, it turns back and throws its shuriken .
Seeing through these patterns is one way of optimizing my way of using the sword .
Suppressing my ability, and lowering my speed to about a C rank .
Using that ability, I made an optimized movement to face against the flaming ninjas .
[Alright, with this I’ve reduced time by nearly 20% . ] (Ryouta)
[Congratz . ] (Mao)

Mao applauded with her hands .
[You watched the entire thing?] (Ryouta)
[Yes nano! It was very cool, especially the last one where you seemed to be dancing . ] (Mao)
[Dancing huh, that might be the case if I kept following a certain pattern . ] (Ryouta)
Recalling the various patterns and optimizations that I’ve done, it might look like dancing to an outsider .
After writing down the optimized pattern and path using a pen and paper I bought in advance, I handed it to Mao .
[What is this?] (Mao)
[This here is the safest and quickest way to fight against a flaming ninja using a sword . Freely distribute this information to the adventurers . ] (Ryouta)
[It’s a waste . There were some great moves even for Mao who isn’t an expert fighter, so it’s a shame to share it freely to others . ] (Mao)
[It’s alright for it to be free . ] (Ryouta)
After answering her, I further pushed the paper to her .
[… . ]
Mao stares at the paper intently .
[Did something unreasonable happened somewhere?] (Mao)
[Let’s see, I don’t think the other person did anything unreasonable] (Ryouta)
I recalled Matier’s face .
And his family’s boss .
Though I do not know who he or she was, but what I know for sure is that the way that family works is something I could not forgive .
Although Matier looked happy after quitting, but I can’t stand that what I created for him was stolen by his boss .
Because of that, I came to this floor with a sword which is used by most adventurers and came up with an optimized route and pattern which reduces time by up to 20% for all the adventurers to use for free .
Publishing it for free .
[My condolences to the person who’s gonna get it . ] (Mao)
[Yeah, haha . ] (Ryouta)
[But they deserve it . ] (Mao)
[Hm?] (Ryouta)
[Even though you said that nobody is doing something unreasonable, but the fact that they are going to get what they paid is funny . ] (Mao)
[That’s true . ] (Ryouta)
It would be nice if it’s that way .
Mao then finally took the note from my hand .
[Mao shall take responsibility by spreading this method to all of Flint’s adventurers!] (Mao)
[Thanks, I’ll entrust it to you . ] (Ryouta)
[Don’t mention it . It’s an honour that Mao can be a part of Ryouta’s system!] (Mao)
[I beg you to not use that name on me . ] (Ryouta)
It’s embarrassing .
However, since she’s happy about it, I leave it as is for now .
After awhile, the system of Lanthanum’s 20th floor has spread .
And there were rumours that Matier’s family has lost their credit after being called out for selling shabby ways in the 20th dungeon .
