Chapter 266
Oh? What are you two doing here?”

“I should be asking you that, Manager . Is it a quest?”
The Manager and the grey elf were standing in front of us .
Daniela and I were in the same party . What about these two?
“Ah, we bumped into each other yesterday . And I suppose we just hit it off well enough that we decided to do a quest together . And there happened to be a very interesting one . ”
“Exactly! Miss Rindo has been telling me the most amusing things! So we formed a party!”
“A party? You sure move fast…”
Daniela was right . It was quite surprising .
“Yes . Forming a party was the main goal . But we thought we should do a quest to celebrate… In fact, we are just about to leave . ”
“I see . So, what kind of quest is it?”
“Hmm? Oh, dungeon crawling . ”
“Ah…”
Surely, it wasn’t the Reserentrible Investigation?
“Rindo, are you going to the town towards the south?”
“Impressive, Daniela . You guessed that just by hearing the word ‘dungeon’?”
“Aye . We came here to accept the same quest . We already finished making preparations . ”
So, it was the same quest after all . While Manager would likely be fine, Lemon had only just become an Adventurer… It seemed dangerous . She considered us veterans, even though she was actually quite a bit older . Though, her appearance was closer to a sixteen-year-old .

“I see . You two are going as well . Hmm . We might as well go together then . ”
“Yes . I do not see why not . ”
“I would be very relieved if you two joined us!”
“Oh? Does that mean you were worried about it just being the two of us, Lemon?”
“No-no-no-not at aaaall! Ahahaha…”
“Very well . We should go and accept the quest then… Come, Asagi . ”
“Ah, uh, right . ”
I hadn’t gotten a word in before the decision was made . I wasn’t sure how to react to all of this .
I grabbed the card from the quest board and put it on the desk along with my status card .
“Very good . So, Mister Asagi and Miss Daniela, you have accepted the quest to investigate the southern labyrinth town of Reserentrible . We have recently had reports of a trap being triggered that resulted in the dungeon being inverted . ”
“Inverted?”
“Yes . The upper and lower layers have been inverted . Much of the town is now very, very deep underground . The residents had been told to evacuate in advance, but some insisted on staying in their houses . Obviously, we have no obligation to rescue such people, but if you do encounter anyone, you should tell them to evacuate . ”
So there really were people who remained for business purposes . They said we didn’t have to save them, but I don’t see how we could abandon anyone who was being attacked by monsters right in front of us .
“The guild’s demand is that you investigate and resolve the situation . As an Ranker, you should prioritize the latter . ”
“That’s what we intended to do . ”

“It is good to hear you say that . Obviously, there is a chance that thieves and criminals may also appear . You have permission to exterminate such people . ”
Bandits always seemed to appear in such situations . I suppose it was the promise of gold and valuables lying around . Yes, we would take down any that we encountered .
“Now, do you have any questions?”
“I’m fine . Daniela?”
“No . ”
“What she said . ”
“Very well . Here are your status cards . Now go, and please be safe . ”
We accepted the status cards . I gave Daniela hers and looked at mine .
“Open Status . ”

The last time I checked had been before entering the tournament . I had also killed that Wind Dragon, but it seemed that I was at a point where my level didn’t really go up by much anymore . Still, three was pretty good . I would be in the nineties soon . That was exciting . We’ve been doing quests like proper Adventurers . Everything was good .
“Let’s go then . ”
Daniela finished looking at her own status card and nodded to me . Then we went over to where Manager and Lemon were waiting . They were sitting on a bench together and talking happily . They must have really hit it off . I always found her somewhat mysterious and intimidating… Well, I suppose I didn’t anymore . Lemon seemed like the type who could get along with anyone . They were laughing together . Perhaps they were perfect for each other . There was something about Lemon’s smile that was void of any ill will .
Still, we were starting to look a little bit like a harem . Obviously, it wasn’t anything of the sort . But there were elves and an older sister type and a younger sister type… It was a little too close to some kind of template .
“Asagi . Doesn’t this remind you of one of those harem things?”
“Manager…”
“Oh, I can see that…!”
Lemon joined in .
“No . I am Asagi’s only husband . ”
“I’d be the husband, you dumbass . ”
“Hahaha! Well, we’ll be counting on you . I have some experience as well, so this arrangement should be beneficial to us all . ”
“This is my first quest, but I’ve been fighting for a long time! And I’ve killed my share of bandits, so you don’t have to worry about me . ”
“Right . That’s great . Daniela is a veteran, but I’m still pretty inexperienced . ”
And like that, our temporary party of four was formed . Well, it was more like two parties . In any case, it was off to Reserentrible . It would be terrible if we arrived and the entire town had already been swallowed up by the dungeon .
