Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja~ Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tameni Tenseishimashita~ Chapter 236

"For now let's go see how it's like there . If it looks like we can farm exp nicely we'll continue the hunt, otherwise, we'll just fall back . "

"Since we're going to use the elevator and all, I'd like to go with the hunt!"

"Alma, it's going to be a deep floor, you can't be careless just because Mathi-kun is with us! Safety first!"

Ruli gave a well-reasoned warning to the enthusiastic Alma .
We entered the elevator station while talking .

" . . . This place's pretty big . "

"Lots of people too . . . "

"It kinda feels like the guild!"

Iliad's elevator station was an unexpectedly huge building .
Iris is right, it's definitely similar to the guild .

The elevator itself (as expected, it's the one from my previous life) could only hold around 20 people, but there's a spacious waiting room surrounding it .
Apparently adventurers are waiting here for their turn to take the elevator .

On the walls of this waiting room, there are boards like the one in the guild, with dungeon-related quests, states and maps of floors posted on them .
Since there are official guild windows as well, you can probably accept quests here .
Though well, since the dungeon's maps and states are only up to floor 10, they're of no use to us .

While thinking that, I went to fetch the queue note .

"It's for four people . "

"Understand . Please hold onto this note here . "

The male receptionist said that and gave me the queue note--and then he winked at someone behind me .
The recipient of that wink is a man in adventurer's attires .

. . . Not sure what the wink was for, but I suppose I should be vigilant here?

. . . Not sure what the wink was for, but I suppose I should be vigilant here?
After taking the note I went back to the girls while thinking that .

"The elevator will come in about one minute it seems . "

I pointed at a signboard next to the elevator .
It shows the remaining time for the next elevator to come .

. . . Judging from the number of people waiting for the elevator, doesn't seem like we can get on this one .
Guess we'll just wait for the next or the one after the next .
It's not like we're that much in a hurry anyway .

While I was thinking that--someone called from behind .
The owner of the voice is the man who was winked at earlier .

"Oy, you brat over there . You gonna explore the dungeon with your friends?"

. . . Well now, that sounds exactly like how 『a veteran adventurer picking on a rookie adventurer』 would say .
I guess I should answer like a rookie adventurer would then .

" . . . I'm not a brat, I'm an adventurer . "

" . . . I'm not a brat, I'm an adventurer . "

The man glared at me after I said that .
When I glared back at him, it became a glaring contest .

『Are we . . .   being picked on?』

『It doesn't feel like he's being hostile at all though . . . 』

『You're able to perceive that much now huh . 』

The man picking on us most likely holds no malicious intent on me .
Rather, despite his words, I can't feel any hostility from him at all .

The adventurers around us are also looking at the great sword man with 『good work』 looks in their eyes .
Those aren't eyes looking at a veteran adventurer who's bullying a rookie adventurer .

This is probably a threat to warn reckless adventurers who come to make a quick killing so they won't get too reckless .
This much should be menacing enough for rookies and their shallow combat experience .

The man is probably going to try to frighten the rookie, then show the difference in strength and then say, "My top floor record is floor 5 . "
This much should be menacing enough for rookies and their shallow combat experience .

The man is probably going to try to frighten the rookie, then show the difference in strength and then say, "My top floor record is floor 5 . "
Once that's done, the rookie then would realize that they have no hope of challenging even floor 5 and start from shallow floors .
Thus, the rookie won't throw away their life by recklessly challenging difficult floors .

This must be their goal .
After all, losing rookie adventurers who don't know their strength would be a huge loss to them .

Pretending to be ruffians to warn such adventurers is probably their job .
They've picked equipment that are outwardly impactful than their actual performance as well .

There were people who took similar job like this even in my previous life .
I guess rash adventurers exist no matter the ages .

. . . Now then, how should I go about this .
I don't mind having a fight and show them our strength to rest their worry, but that'd take time and make us stand out .

While thinking that--an adventurer who was in the waiting room's interior called out to the man who were having the glaring contest with me .

"Camias, you'd better stop . Don't think the guy even needs that . "

"For now let's go see how it's like there . If it looks like we can farm exp nicely we'll continue the hunt, otherwise, we'll just fall back .
