Book 3: Chapter 85

President Limey ordered another glass of wine and enjoyed it as she tipped her glass.

Tenji and Chigo are munching down on their after-dinner dessert of fluffy pancakes with ice cream on top.

Then President Limey slowly opened her mouth.

"I hear that you've already conquered level 24."

"Yes, we at......, or rather Tenji-Kun, aim to reach the 75th level."

"Oh?.......... You're not going for it, Chigo?"

"I don't aim for it. Because I came here to train Tenji exclusively. So, I never intend to fight. Tenji will do everything alone. I'm just going to watch from behind and pass on some tips."

Tenji will do everything by himself. I'm just going to watch from the back."

"Hmmm...... is this kid that important to you?"

"I guess it's more like....... I just want to see what happens to Tenji-Kun. I haven't thought about it too much, so it's hard to say."

Suddenly, President Limey's sharp eyes fell upon Tenji.

As one would expect from an active Zero-grade explorer, Tenji's whole body shrank in size when he was stared at.

[Oh, I need to run to the bathroom.............]

Tenji believes that President Limey knows everything about him.

In reality, Limey only recognizes Tenji as "a student of Chigo, a child whom Leon has his eye on."

This is because there was a point where Chigo dared to misrepresent information about his calling.

--- It's a bit of a strange calling, isn't it, Tenji-Kun? He comes out as a swordsman, but he's not a

swordsman. Well, that's what makes it interesting.

These are the words that Chigo told Limey.

Limey, who allowed Tenji to study abroad with such simple words, is also a very foolish parent. Limey is abnormally sweet, but only to Chigo.

That's why Limey doesn't know that Tenji has this unique and unparalleled calling, a top-grade calling..... Or so it should be. Still, Limey is slightly aware that Tenji is a strange creature.

When she first saw Tenji Amagi in this restaurant, she felt something like a chill from the bottom of her heart.

As if trying to figure out what the creature was, Limey turned her sinister dark eyes to Tenji.

"Hey, Tenji-Kun, have you ever heard of the term "Nine Kings"?"

Suddenly, President Limey turned to Tenji.

[Nine Kings? I've never heard of nine kings, although there is a term for Ten Kings in...... hell. But why would she ask such a question?]

"No, I don't. What is the "Nine Kings"?"

"Oh, you don't know. That's a little disappointing. Hmmm, what should we do... Are you that curious?"This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"Oh, well."

"It's fine. But, can you keep what I'm about to tell you to yourself for now?"

When Limey said that, Tenji probably thought something amazing would be discussed.

Chigo is already eating her pancakes without worrying about it, as if she already knows what the gossip is about...

Tenji gulped.

"Even so, it's something that people who know already know. It seems like something will happen when the nine kings would appear in this world. Well, I don't really understand it well either."

"Something.?.. that's pretty vague."

"What was it...... like a decade ago? Did you know that Leon conquered the main dungeon in Russia?"

"Yeah, I remember it was a Norilsk, a third-grade dungeon, right? It was in the textbook that a Japanese zero-grade explorer became the second person in the world to conquer a Main Dungeon."

Originally there were 50 main dungeons in the world.

Now, three main dungeons have been conquered, reducing the number to 47. One of these main dungeons was conquered by Leon.

And that also, completely alone.

"That's right, the words "Nine Kings" were engraved in the boss room of the final level. At first, he apparently brought the evidence to the association, but for some reason it was supposedly covered up. After that, Leon began his own research on the Nine Kings. He started ignoring the association."

Chigo told Tenji about Leon, the explorer, and the information he had never heard before. Technically, it was never out so Tenji could have never heard about it.

To begin with, even Leon was a top-secret existence that only few people knew his name or what he looked like.

This was a little unusual, even President Limey had at least one or two photos of her circulating, but Leon was the only person in the world that even the mass media didn't know anything about.

The other two zero-grade explorers are conspicuous and are in the media frequently.

This was the first time Tenji learned that Leon, such an unknown personality, had been conducting intense research on the "Nine Kings".

"I thought that since he is a zero-grade explorer, he should be more eager to conquer dungeons."

"Ahaha, Leon is not interested in conquering dungeons at all. He's just a middle-aged man who thinks about only the Nine Kings, games, girls, or sleeping."

Chigo casually calls out Leon as an uncle.

Chigo is the only person in the world who can do this. Any other explorer would be too nervous about stepping forward and even talking to him.

"I'll want to talk to him sometime. Can we?"

"What? Tenji-Kun, are you curious about the Nine Kings too?"

"Yeah, a little bit."

"......, but I can't reach Leon right now."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I heard he's always busy. That's unusual. I wonder if he's locked himself in some dungeon."

Apparently, Tenji can't learn anything about the "Nine Kings" from Leon right now.

Feeling a little disappointed about this, Tenji thinks of asking Fuyuki about it.

"I'm home now. I want to sleep now!"

As they were talking about this, they reached the front of the house.

Chigo quickly unlocked the door with her card device and entered the house with her feet in the dirt. As it was, she fell on the sofa in the living room, slumped on her back.

"Tenji, you can go ahead and take a bath."

"What about you?"

"I'm going to linger here for a bit."

"Okay, I'll take a bath first."

Thus ends Tenji's day in Mallorca.

In the morning, he cooks breakfast for Chigo and then takes two lectures at Mallorca Escuela.

Then the one-on-one dungeon attack with Chigo begins.

He had been living like this for almost a week.

Thanks to that, Tenji was about to level up to level 2 soon.
