It was the day after I had a heated discussion with Dean over ‹Job Transfer›. Time was near the end of May, Saturday 25th.
It was the dungeon week opening from today!
We were already in the 4th week of the month and normally dungeon week should have taken place in 3rd week but May is when freshmen are still learning the ropes in their first classes, so the dungeon week was thus shifted to the last week for students to raise their level till Lv10 to challenge beginners dungeon.
Long short story; it was the start of a 9 day long break from classes so that students can challenge the dungeon and raise their levels from today!
I charged into the guild room with the 'It's full force dungeon attack time' feeling bubbling inside my chest.
"Howdy everyone! Isn't today's weather rather lovely? Rather, it's indeed very lovely weather! Just a sublime morning to welcome the curtain opening on this wonderful dungeon week!"
"Good morning Zephyr! Let's enjoy the dungeon to our heart's content!"
"And what about you Lana?"
"Of course I'm also excited!"
Lana greeted me in return with equally high spirit when I entered guild ‹Eden› and shouted my greeting in high voice.
Well of course, that was the charm of the dungeon. It was the universal truth.
We're not going to have any classes for the 9 days; it was like a mini summer vacation.
I did feel a bit empty that we will not have a class for a while but it was also wonderful that we can use our time fully for the dungeon.
Clap
Lana and I gave a high-five to each other in excitement. Just then Sierra started talking with a sharp gaze.
"Calm down yourself for god's sake. You will just tire yourself at this rate, what will you do then?"
"It's fine, I know you may say this but you will still come to help me out!"
"...... Keep it in limit to not cause trouble to others."
Saying that, Sierra turned her face but I still noticed slight reddening of her ears.
In the end, she will still help me out, was what her reaction meant.
But it's strange, since when did Sierra awakened to be a tsundere? No wait, she looked less prickly than kuudere I guess? Nonetheless, it was a cute reaction.
"Understood!"
"I will do my best-desu!"
I will not be joining in today's subjugation of ‹Shaman Marionette› and left the matter to Sierra and others.
I kept the party the same from last week. They were already splendid in their work and had gathered a lot of ‹Bamboo Puppet› materials. There's no way I'm going to join their party at the last moment and steal their effort. Besides, their party was fairly strong.
"I will pass you the flutes, Sierra so no need to hold back."
"Alright. I will contact you if something happens."
"I'm leaving it to you. As for me, I am going to have a study meeting with Rina, and rest of members will be一"
"I am taking the rest of the girls with me to hunt the cactus or mushroom! We will then challenge some other Int-low dungeons once Shizu reaches Lv40."
It seems like Lana already has plans to form a party with Karua, Rika, Shizu and Ester and help out Shizu in leveling.
Shizu's level was still at 38 since I had asked her to help out Rina last week. A few boss fights would be enough for her to reach Lv40, which was the requirement for Int-low dungeons, and with Ester's support, they should have plenty of time to do other things.
"Okay. But be careful since I will not be there to help out. But you want to challenge Int-low dungeons? Have you already thought which one you're going to?"
"Karua is joining us so it's fine! And we will be marching on the upper floors of Deno一 Dinosaur's hill and Rokumori Thundering trees dungeon to warm up for tomorrow! I also want to see Shizu's new skill. I think we will also fight the F-Boss of 10th floor since we're going there."
Lana struggled to spell out the word 'Dinosaur', well that was a familiar relatable sight. It's easy to fumble out on spelling the word. It had been jokingly called ‹Fast-Talking Dungeon› in the game.
Anyway, Lana's party goal is to warm up for tomorrow huh.
I have already passed Shizu her job's ‹Strongest Training Manual› but I guess Lana's not in mood to take it slow and quickly wants to see her skills. Her eyes were smoldering with excitement.
"Ahem, This concludes the plan for everyone."
The last one left was Celestine but he was absent due to some work apparently.
He is a diligent person but I'm quite worried about his level which was lower amongst all, if I exclude Rina. I made up my mind to help him out next time.
"Alright then, the meeting is over!"
This concludes today's plan.
While contemplating letting her learn the ropes about leadership from ‹Wolves›, I took Rina with me to the dungeon.
