This fleeting happiness probably would not last forever . However, it can be either a good or a bad thing .

I have checked the roads ahead so many times with my <> skill . But it’s useless . As I thought, there seems to be no way out . I drop my shoulder down and clench my teeth in frustration .

I knew it . The result from my mapping skill only solidifies my conviction that there is no hope for our situation . It’s not something that I should be depressed because I knew it already .

I pull out myself and lift up my sense of awareness . Then I bring my resolution up to tell the truth to the girl who is holding my hand from a moment ago .

Note: “Erin, I found the transportation crystal . ”

Erin: “………!? Really!?”

My right hand is pulled as she lifts up her voice .

Erin: “Is that true? We can go home?”

I only reply with a vague nod to Erin who is instantly delighted when she heard about the transportation crystal .

Note: “It’s true that I find the transportation crystal . But it won’t be easy for us to go home with it . ”

Erin: “What do you mean?”

Note: “In a nutshell, in the way to the transportation crystal, there is a Mid Boss of this floor . We probably won’t be able to avoid it if we want to go there . ”

Starting from the 16th floor, it becomes a gimmick to have a Mid Boss in each floor . I sensed its presence with my <

> art beforehand . Furthermore, the Mid Boss’s area is quite large which includes the distance between us and the transportation crystal . In this 20th floor, there is a short straight path towards the teleportation crystal, but that path is inside the Mid Boss’s area .

The path which is diverged from the Mid Boss’s area is like a maze . In other words, if we want to return to Purith town, fighting with the Mid Boss is inevitable .

In the corner of my head, I truly wish that we do not need to fight the Mid Boss . But this is our last option . After all, we have been stuck in this place for nearly a month . We were hoping that the transportation crystal location will be like the 17th floor, which is before the Mid Boss area . But in reality, it does not happen like that . Henceforth, I try to explain the situation carefully and thoroughly to Erin .

Erin: “I understand . ”

Note: “………You do not seem to be shocked . ”

I observe Erin’s face to read her reaction .

Erin: “Well . It’s because I decided to believe in you, Note . You promised that we will return together . ”

There is no doubt in her eyes . It’s different from her previous acceptance of our situation . There is a bright feeling that can be felt from her . There is no doubt, that Erin has started to change . Her changes are also going in a positive direction . If she strives to keep on living, she will be able to face her own past and change herself properly .

For this reason, I don’t want her to die in this place . I will definitely get her out of this floor . It’s my number one wish which I earnestly hope can be realized .

Erin: “Then, what should we do? Do you have any strategy?”

When Erin asked that question, I nodded in silence .

Note: “In that respect, I do have a strategy . However, our probability of success is very low . ”

Erin: “That’s okay . I’ll go along with it . Aren’t you the best with strategy, Note?”

Note: “Thank you . Then this is the plan, I will attract the attention of the Mid Boss while I want you, Erin goes to the transportation crystal . There are no monsters around the path from the Mid Boss’s room to the barrier of the transportation crystal . If you are able to pass through the Mid Boss, you will be able to go home . “

Erin: “You………You promised that we will return together…”

Erin’s expression looks like she just has been betrayed when she heard my explanation . I feel the grip on my right hand becomes tighter .

Note: “It’s not like that . I plan to keep my promise . ”

As I said that, I continue with my explanation .

Note: “Certainly, there is a high chance that I will die with this plan . Nevertheless, I do not want to helplessly die in this place . After Erin is able to safely pass through the Mid Boss’s room and arrive at the inside of the transportation crystal’s barrier where there are no monsters around, I will also try to slip myself away from the Mid Boss and head towards the transportation crystal . ”

Erin: “But If you are unable to slip away……”

Note: “I’ll probably die . However, this is probably the best plan for us to survive . ”

Erin pleads to change my mind, “What if the two of us fight it together? Is it not good?”

Note: “I don’t think it will work . According to my

art, compared to the Last Bost of the 16th floor, the Mid Boss of the 20th floor is probably equal or even stronger . It’s too reckless to fight such an opponent with only the two of us . That’s why, we should not fight but run away to escape . ”

Erin: “……run away?”

Note: “Yeah . I also won’t fight against the Mid Boss from the beginning . I will start with activating <> to draw its attention to me and then I will focus on using my <

Over the past few days, my avoidance art has been sharpened from the fights against the Frog beast . Personally, I don’t think that our chance of success is close to nonexistent with this plan . Moreover, I have been practising against the fastest adventurer, Jin while he is using his <> art before . Thanks to this, now I am able to track the 20th floor monster’s attack very clearly and I am also able to move faster against them .

However, I feel that my progress is not only due to the practices with Jin . My reflects has been sharpened greatly because of continuedly being exposed with the terror of death . I really believe that compare to the old me, my skill has greatly increased .

When I first joined the group and went to the 1st floor together with the group, Force told me that Jin has so many tough experiences and he also has survived through so many nearly death experiences . And those are the secrets of his strength .

Now, I finally understand the meaning behind Force’s words . Certainly, being exposed to so many nearly death experience has made me grow as a fighter . I don’t know the speed of the Mid Boss until I go against it, but it’s still worth a try .
