The Hateyama Branch of the Adventurer’s Guild was built at the only point where it was relatively safe to enter the mountain. If a person wanted to enter Hateyama by the proper route, he or she had to pass through it, and the guild was responsible for keeping out those without qualifications.
After leaving the Hateyama branch at the foot of Hateyama, Alvin and the others finally made their long-awaited entry into the mountain. Alvin breathed in the air and felt that he was finally ready for the challenge.
”Fuhhh... okay, we’ll see how it goes today. As Mizer-san said, we should stay away from the eastern areas and focus on the western areas. Shinji, please summon Freri and Flair for me”
”Alright. Freri, Flair, I’m counting on you today”
Shinji summons Freri and Flair, in accordance with Alvin’s idea of not sparing their forces. Flair is the first to talk out of the two who land on either side of Shinji.

”Leave it to me~noja, but Hateyama... it’s been a while”
”Flair, have you been to this place before?”
”Umu! With the previous contractor before Shinji. Though, I don’t remember anything more than the monsters were strong”
Flair’s expression is nostalgic as she looks back on the past with her arms crossed, answering Renka’s question. However, since it was so long ago, there was no useful information, and Flair seemed a little apologetic. Nevertheless, knowing Flair’s strength, Alvin and the others regained their strength when they heard her say that the monsters were strong.
”First, let’s fight the monsters again and again. We’ll find the way to the when we’re more familiar with it. Let’s be careful not to get hurt too badly and keep going”
”Alright, Al-kun”
”All right. Then I’ll take the lead as usual”
”Renka, I’m counting on you!”
The formation is the same as before, with Renka in the lead, followed by Alvin, Milis, and Shinji. It’s the most secure order they’ve experienced in all their adventures. Shinji instructs Flair to line up to protect Renka, and Freri to keep a watchful eye on the perimeter, including the rear.
Thus, are moving forward as one.
◇ ◇ ◇
The first day of the exploration of the Lower Layer proceeded with plenty of time to spare.
In the western area, there are many open spaces and few places where monsters can surprise them. Although there is a lot of nature, there are no plants that grow only in Hateyama, and the scenery is quite common.
As for monsters, they encountered “goblin” and “stray wolf” several times, which was rather disappointing. Nevertheless, the size of the “goblin” and “wolf” has grown more than a size larger, and their physical abilities have increased. The “goblin” and “wolvef” in the Hateyama area are called “High goblin” and “High Wolf”, but they are no match for the and are easily defeated.
”All right. I think I’ll talk to Mil a bit more and then go to bed”
”Please, Shinji-san, Renka-chan and Freri-chan”
”Hmm, good night, both of you”
Shinji and the others left Alvin’s room after saying their bedtime greetings. Renka walks next to Shinji to the reference room, and Freri follows behind her.
[I’m looking for something interesting. But there are a lot of skilled people here, and it would be too risky to monitor them with magic]
[I knew you’d say that...]
A thought from Freri reaches Shinji as he holds hands with Renka. Most of the staff at the Hateyama branch are former adventurers. Inevitably, there is a possibility that some of them have good intuition or are sensitive to magic. If Freri uses a bad magic, the fact that she has succubus’s blood in her veins will be revealed.
That’s why Freri is not using magic and is looking for people who can be manipulated visually.
[Why don’t you try to be more restrained this time? The Leader is here too. So, it’s too risky. Just be quiet and help me with my research]
[Muuu...]
Shinji only asked Freri about it but she pursed her lips in boredom and decided to leave her alone.
After arriving at the archive room, Shinji and his friends. When Shinji and Renka are looking at the bookshelves, Freri’s thoughts reach Shinji again.
[Shinji. That girl might be nice. I can sense that she has a lot of s*xual desire...♡]
Freri’s lecherous instincts detect the frustration of the woman in front of her. And Shinji looked where Freri is pointing.
”...”
There is Iren who is slowly looking through a book.
The Lower Layer of Hateyama.
But first, a quick check. And why Hateyama is not popular. Well, it’s better to earn money safely.
The government is taking care of the maintenance, so it’s okay if it’s not popular.
