chapter 28

028 – Viktor, looking for a party. # One
As you can see from the name of D&A.
This game is mostly a dungeon attack game.
The feeling of breaking through by organizing party entries according to the concept of each dungeon.
There was something like synergy between the characters in the party, so the deeper you dig, the higher the high point was.
For one thing, I had most of the party synergies in my head.
It means that you can attack the dungeon with the most optimal combination in any situation.
In that sense, it can be said that the dungeon 「Snow Mountain Labyrinth」 that I want to go to this time is a dungeon with a rather strange structure.
If you only know the strategy, you can fill the number of people regardless of party synergy.
It’s annoying to match the synergy, because it’s not that difficult to fill the number of people.
─The time I thought it was 10 minutes ago.
“I have no friends.”
After the group assignment, I felt it again, but Viktor’s personal relationship was narrow.
Unlike the main character, Luke, who approaches everyone without hesitation, you can count them all on one hand if you say that he is an acquaintance of Viktor, who is naive.
Everyone he meets frowns and spits lines like “Geek, Viktor.”
All you need is three.
Shall we ask the guys who seem to have the most potential?
You already know what time and where D&A characters are most likely to appear.
First of all, it is the cafe “Fairy Teacup” located near the student dormitory.
If you go here around seven in the evening, you’re almost guaranteed to meet them.
And my expectations were exactly right.
“Dungeon? Do you want to go together to a place where monsters come out and all sorts of strange things overflow, and one life is not enough?”
Melvin, student number 11 of Class A-1.
This guy was a warlike guy who liked to fight and battle.
“Of course it is good! Dungeon, my body itches! It was a moment when I was bored, but you asked me an interesting story, Viego!”
“I am Victor, not Viego.”
“That or that!”
The only downside is that he’s a clumsy guy outside of combat.
It’s because this guy, like Viktor, specializes in one thing and has few other talents.
Still, it seems that he accepted it right away thanks to his open-ended personality.
“Dearmid, how are you? Are you sure you want to go too?”
“me? Oh, I’m a bit bothered I have class tomorrow, so I don’t want to work too late today.”
A handsome blond man with a languid expression sitting on a soft sofa in a cafe.
This guy is a deermid with student number 9.
“What are you talking about, Dearmid! If you are a hero who will leave your name in mythology, you cannot miss this place! It’s a dungeon! Aren’t your hearts beating?”
Melvin grabbed Dearmid by the shoulders and lifted him up from his seat.
Deermid then shook his head from side to side as if he couldn’t win.
“I can’t. Then I should go for a light walk.”
Even if he doesn’t show his face, this guy is also a belligerent guy in his own way.
Two men dreaming of becoming heroes.
I thought there was no way I could refuse to clear the dungeon.
So, two are saved, now we only need one more.
First, I decided to ask the duo.
“We need one more person in the dungeon’s position. Is there anyone nearby you can recommend? It is a role that needs to be filled regardless of talent.”
“none!”
“Me too?”
That’s right.
These guys were also the ones who couldn’t be said to have a wide range of human relationships.
Why, if you have one friend to eat with during lunch time, there are kids who are good with the rest. Even during break time, they just talk to each other.
They are just that type.
In the end, I have no choice but to save the other one.
Once I looked around.
The evening café “Fairy Teacup” was a place where various characters often appeared and held events.
As I looked around, what caught my eye was an exceptionally familiar redhead.
“You are Enio’s henchman.”
“Who is the henchman! Fool!”
The guy was Megaira.
Enio’s close friend and subordinate.
If Enio was Chunhyang, this guy was the same as Hyangdan, who was chattering around next to him.
Seeing such a guy alone in a cafe like this is a bit strange.
I looked around to see if there was an Enio around, but I couldn’t see the conspicuous black color anywhere.
“Where is Enio going and are you alone in a place like this?”
“… That, do I have an obligation to tell you that?”
“No, I have no such obligation.”
Megaira, who is always harsh and noisy, showed an unexpected panic. Is it such a shocking question to ask where Enio is?
“… If you look at it.”
“What, what.”
“You didn’t show up when Enio came to the club room today. I thought it was weird. Were you abandoned by Enio?”
“It’s not like that!”
* * *
Megara was depressed all day.
The reason is because of something that happened a while ago.
… It was something I didn’t want to go into too much detail about.
Anyway, when I was depressed all day and only sighed, I met the guy I didn’t want to meet the most.
“Megaira, are you no longer even Enio’s henchman?”
“… I really want to hit you.”
Victor.
A guy like Victoria’s henchman.
‘No, wasn’t he a henchman now?’
Anyway, to think that such a guy came to a cafe he found for peace of mind and chatted about it.
His expression was blunt and his tone was stiff, but it was clear that he was making fun of himself.
“… I-get off!”
“You must have been abandoned by Enio. Because of what happened with Enrique. You laughed at me when the strings fell off, and you must have not thought that you would become like that too.”
“Ugh.”
Was Viktor originally such a good talker? Viktor’s tongue, free of shackles, pierced Megaira’s heart more than any sword.
“Ugh… . It’s not abandoned!”
“Yes, I guess. But at least it’s true that you’re in a similar situation. Otherwise, there’s no way you’d be alone in a place like this.”
Megara held back her anger.
There was a time when he made fun of Viktor, who broke off his engagement.
‘If I think that karma has returned, I can endure it somehow.’
But then Viktor brought up a surprising story.
“There is a way to solve your problem. Won’t you go to the dungeon together? Just in time, one person is vacant.”
Dungeon.
Megaira was well aware of that danger.
A really dangerous place.
That’s why it was also a place where the honor and reward followed when the attack was successful.
As Viktor said, if you go to the dungeon and succeed in clearing it, you don’t know how much of Megaira’s problem will be solved.
However, I was rather wary of such a good story.
Victor.
This guy and myself are enemies.
It was only natural for him to be wary and suspicious of such a viktor giving him a proposal that was too good for him.
“… Why are you making this offer to me? I am your enemy.”
“Did you forget? I am no longer Arkwright’s fiancée. There is no reason for you and me to be enemies.”
It’s a theory, but
I mean, I don’t like it a bit.
It was when Megaira was agonizing over that feeling.
“I can’t help it if you don’t like it. It’s not that I’m recommending it because it’s you. It is a place where there is no problem even if it is not you but someone else. then-.”
Viktor and the men are about to leave the store.
At that, Megaira’s eyes seemed to fly with pot-sparks.
‘Maybe it’s a really good opportunity, as Viktor said.’
It’s a pity to miss it like this.
“Hey, wait!”
* * *
Melvin, student number 11.
A stable vanguard with many provocation skills. Instead, the offensive ability is low.
Deermid of Student Number 9.
Possess strong deal time that comes from wearing dual swords. On the contrary, the defense ability is low.
These two go well together at a party.
It’s because they’re the ones who were put out to use as a duo from the beginning.
Victor.
It’s hard for me to rate this guy.
It’s a character I’ve never used as a party.
But the other one knows better.
it’s mega
A well-balanced character.
It rolls well even if you put it in any party.
On the contrary, such a hexagonal well-balanced character had a disadvantage that it had no special advantages, and it became a discarded hand when used in a party.
However, the deceased people, including me, preferred to include Megaira in the party.
It was because the part that had nothing to do with the basic performance or skill was good.
What is it… .
There were many ambassadors.
If it’s a dungeon, it’s a dungeon, if it’s food, it’s food, if it’s an item, each item has a lot of dialogue, so I shouldn’t make the viewer bored.
I was experiencing that myself.
“So, where is that dungeon? Viktor, you’re not lying to us, are you? It will be completely dark soon. A dungeon under such circumstances—”
I won’t keep my mouth still for a second.
“This is the third park on the student center side, isn’t it? Parks are places where people relax. It’s not a dungeon.”
“Be quite. I have to focus.”
I focused on finding the entrance to the dungeon.
When Megaira stopped talking about my business, I tapped the tile floor in the park one by one, taking advantage of the momentary silence.
It’s like hitting the G button all over the place to find hidden interactions.
“It must have been near this fountain.”
Knock knock. Knock knock.
It was when I was tapping the tiles one by one like that.
Tuk-tuk-.
One square tile made a strangely different sound than the other parts.
A sound so subtle that you cannot hear it if you are not paying attention.
“Here you are.”
All that was left was the spell to activate the dungeon.
Originally, it was a part where you had to type on the keyboard, but since it’s not a game, I’ll have no choice but to recite it myself.
“—I hide my knowledge in the white snowfield.”
It was an unfamiliar sentence, but it was easy to remember because it was a text that I had typed several times during the game.
pat-.
I thought the space shimmered above the tile I tapped, and then a strange distortion of a blue oval shape appeared.
The first to respond to that was the warrior Melvin.
“Dimensional gate? My God, I never thought something like this could have been hidden in this park! I ate lunch here today, and I had no idea!”
Deermid also narrowed his brows while watching this scene.
“Victor, to be honest, I was dubious. The real dungeon was inside this Ludens. Was it a way to start it by reciting the strange spell just now?”
It’s still too early to admire.
You will be even more surprised when you go inside.
I put my hand through the portal.
“A dungeon that can be entered by 4 or more people.”
“Would you like to enter? YES/NO.」
The letters floating in front of my eyes are familiar.
It’s like a game.
As the party leader, I have only one word to say.
“Everyone will enter when they are ready.”
