Chapter 78 - 78: - Isolated Demon Tower

The night of the day when the extra dungeon [Isolated Demon Tower] appeared, the topic of the news on that day was solely about that.

『As everyone can see, a building that is assumed to be a dungeon suddenly appeared. However, the building has many differences from the normal dungeon. Despite the fact that normal dungeons appear below the ground, this dungeon appeared right above the ground in the form of a tower. Furthermore according to the investigation, this dungeon has no entrance which made it impossible to enter. And there are still some questions about this dungeon–』

Hana and I were watching what the reporter was talking about on TV together.

"A dungeon that appeared above the ground, huh. It is certainly mysterious, isn't it?"

"Indeed…."

Hearing her remarks, I nodded.

I certainly knew that this building was in fact the Isolated Demon Tower. But, it was also true I have no idea why it appeared above the ground. Would I be able to get the answer if I entered? In any case, I nonetheless have no other choice but to challenge the Isolated Demon Tower, though.

As there was also no problem with my physical condition, I decided to go there tomorrow. However, there were still some things that I was concerned about.

First, I have never been the first challenger since the appearance of the dungeon. I have always challenged a dungeon that has a certain amount of capture information after making elaborate preparation.

Well, I still encountered an irregular situation like the appearance of the Nameless Knight in Kenzaki Dungeon but that was a fairly rare example.

This time, I have to capture the dungeon in a condition where I possess no information about the said dungeon for the first time. On top of that, I must make as much preparation as possible too.

In the first place, I don't even know if it was a dungeon that could be captured in a day. Thus, I think it's better to bring some food, etc. And at the time like this, [Item Box] is a very convenient skill to have.

And last thing I have to do is…to report, huh.

"Hana. I'm sorry, but I am going on a little trip from tomorrow and might not be able to return for a few days."

"? Where are you going?"

"That's…a secret"

"-! Don't tell me you got a girlfriend?!"

"It's not like that and I have never gotten one so far."

"I-I'm sorry, Onii-chan…"

For some reason, Hana apologizes with an earnest face even though I wasn't even angry. How strange, ahaha…

After a short pause, Hana continues.

"How many days to be precise? It is almost the time for the dungeon exercise but will you make it in time for that?"

"Mu…Which reminds me there is something like that…"

This is a necessary exercise for Hana to officially get her own adventurer qualification. For that exercise, parents or guardians will be allowed to accompany the participants as well. That's why, if possible I want to accompany her too…

"Although I can't say absolutely, I will do my best to make it in time."

"I see, understood. But well, Onii-chan and the others have taught me a lot before. So, I think there will be no problem even if you didn't accompany me."

"Hey, don't be complacent, okay?"

"I understand~,"

Finishing the conversation with such an exchange, I decided to sleep early in preparation for tomorrow. And with half expectation and half uneasiness about what awaits me in the Isolated Demon Tower, I fell asleep.

The next day.

I was shopping in the adventurers specific shop before going to the Isolated Demon Tower to make as much preparation as possible.

I even prepared to use my savings which have already exceeded 50 million yen to buy what I deemed necessary. HP recovery pills, MP recovery pills, the highest rank explosive magic stone, and then a dagger. With this amount of items, I think I would be able to handle a number of situations.

After finishing my shopping, I directly went to the Isolated Demon Tower.

Approximately 1 hour from my home, a huge tower stood in the uninhabited nature. And there were some people who seemed to be the members from the adventurer's association and some guards surrounding it.

"Of course with this kind of thing appearing all of a sudden, it is natural for them to send people to investigate it… Can't be helped, Stealth."

To not get noticed by them, I used [Stealth] to move to the border of the tower.

Although there was a chance that they could catch me if there is someone who has a high level [Enemy Detection], it seems there was no need to worry about that.

"I think this far should be enough."

Then, I took the ticket to challenge the Isolated Demon Tower from my [Item Box].

I could only challenge this dungeon once. Even so, I ripped the ticket without hesitation. At that moment, my body was enveloped in place of white magic power.

"Now, let me see what the long-awaited 'extra dungeon' is like."

Immediately after that, the transfer magic was activated, and I entered the Isolated Demon Tower.

In this way, my hellish day has begun.
