Chapter 197.2 - Exploration Plan

Chapter 197.2 - Exploration Plan

Okay everybody, be quiet. I understand your feeling of being separated from the party youre in until now, but please dont worry about it. Everyone who has arrived at this place has already proven their strength.

Instead, the abilities were rather diverse.

Dont you all want to move in a group?

The one asking that question when everyone was busy murmuring to one another was Souma-kun.

He was asking whether all 13 people mentioned above should just move as one party while the rest stayed in the school tower to finish their assigned job. In terms of efficiency, dividing the exploration team into two parties would be for the best, but it was traded with safety.

Souma-kun, you think itll be better for everyone to move together as a team, right?

Nope, I dont mean it in that way.

Then?

I just noticed that you could be thinking that we shouldnt move in a large group.

Exactly.

Just as I expected from someone with Hero vocation, his intuition was spot on.

I dont have a sense of danger or crisis avoidance, but I could grasp the situation with reasoning.

This dungeon, each area seems to have its own level of difficulty.

I made this hypothesis in accordance with my own experience, Mei-chans observation during the time she was separated from me, and the story of the other classmates, whether it was the boss or the mobs, they became more and more powerful to the point of just right to be their opponent. Now that all of us had gathered together in one place, there was a high possibility that there was some sort of system to manage the difficulty level of our dungeon capture.

It might be the will of the god or the plot of the humans of another world, or maybe it was simply a program left behind in this dungeon. Anyway, any kind of action that went against that might invite unnecessary danger.

Thats why no matter how many of us are gathered in this place, I wanted to restrict the member of the party to less than 10, thus came up with 5 for each party.

So you noticed that too huh, Momokawa.

Well, I guess everyone else is already pretty much aware of this.

There was no evidence for this hypothesis, but since everyone was pretty much aware of this matter, they readily agreed with this arrangement.

Naturally, when it came to waging a battle against Yamata no Orochi, we had to give everything we had.

And thats how I came up with this team setup, any suggestions?

Despite the fact that it looks like a messed up formation, I came up with this team setup after considering our partys balance.

First was, naturally, deciding the team leader, the one who would be responsible to lead the team. Both Hero Souma and Class Rep had fulfilled the condition to lead the party.

Uhm, excuse me Momokawa-kun, why am I appointed as the vice-captain?

Why are you look like youre in heaven, Himeno-san?

I reckon she could be thinking something along the lines of using her position as the vice-captain of Souma-kuns party to get close to him.

Its not like hes asking you to get along in private, but all of us will be in danger if we cant cooperate with our comrades during the battle.

One could never tell what would happen in the dungeon nor predict the boss behaviour. And one couldnt always fight in the same team.

Moreover, weve to split into a few teams when fighting Yamata no Orochi.

And this team formation is exactly for that reason. You have to get used to it even if youre unwilling.

Uhm, is Takanashi-san house-sitting also a part of that plan? What about Tendou-kun who always lazes?

Enough, Sakura. No matter how much you hate it, you still have to use your healing spell when we need it.

Do you really think Im such a petty person who will cut corners when someone elses life is in jeopardy?

Bi*ch, you already have a record of not using your healing power even once when Mei-chan fought those gogma.

Thats enough, Momokawa-kun.

I have yet to say something.

The only way to nurture mutual trust is by fighting together as much as possible.

Haah Whatever! Its just as Ryoko had said, we wont understand unless we show it via action.

Is this what you call a karma? I mean, Sakura-chans evaluation of me is really that low.

Momokawa-kun.

I have nothing to say.

Could it be that Class Rep had secretly learnt telepathic skills? Sending only a warning isnt that romantic though.

Anyhow, well try to fight with this team setup for the time being. Since this isnt a fixed thing, I might make some changes along the way, but the point is, everyone has to try to get along with the each other.
