I Woke Up In The Morning And Became A Seeker, So I Dived Into A Dungeon ~Steadily Leveling Up Starting at the First Level~-Chapter 135

Chapter 135. Escape

Surrounded by the light of the teleportation magic circle, when I next came to my senses.

I was in a familiar place.

It was the hall where the teleportation magic circle was located in the cave with the orcs.

Right now, the four of us—Kazane-san, Yuzuki, Aria-san, and I—were standing on the fading teleportation magic circle.

And then, with a snap, the teleportation magic circle drawn with lines of light shattered into pieces, turning into particles of light and disappearing.

“I… I made it back…”

Aria-san dropped to her knees as if collapsing onto the ground.

Tears trickled down from her eyes.

At the same time, I heard a notification sound in my head.

───────────────────────

Special mission completed: Successfully rescued the target adventurer and escaped from the dungeon!

All party members gained 10,000 experience points!

Musou Daichi leveled up to level 29!

Yuzuki Hotaru leveled up to level 29!

Current experience points:

Musou Daichi… 12,1944/13,8867 (Next level: 16,923)

Kodachi Kazane… 13,1256/13,8867 (Next level: 7,611)

Yuzuki Hotaru… 12,1741/13,8867 (Next level: 17,126)

───────────────────────

We received a notification for accomplishing the special mission of escaping from the dungeon.

Gaining 10,000 experience points is quite a substantial bonus.

By the way, Kazane-san’s level didn’t display because she already reached level 29.

Her experience points must have soared, likely due to defeating Stone Golem, which must have rewarded her with a considerable amount of experience.

Afterward, we searched the back of the cave’s hall, but it was just a dead end with nothing of interest.

When we stepped outside the cave, the rain had stopped.

Drops of water were falling from the leaves of the lush trees.

It was mid-afternoon.

The sunlight streaming through the gaps in the clouds illuminated the scenery in front of the cave surrounded by trees.

“Well then, shall we head back?”

“Returning to the guild is also part of the quest.”

“Indeed, I can go back… It feels like a dream.”

Along with the voices of the women, I began my journey back.

We returned to the village, explained the situation, received the completion notice for the request, and set out on our way back to the city.

During our return, we told Aria-san about the Limit Break Event.

She was surprised at first, then muttered, “No wonder the three of you are so strong…” and nodded repeatedly.

When she asked about the trigger for the Limit Break, I politely declined and she won’t pry further.

She also promised not to disclose that we had achieved the Limit Break.

“I won’t repay kindness with betrayal,” she said.

After walking for a few hours, we arrived in the city just as the clear sky was turning sunset-colored.

We went to the adventurers’ guild and reported the quest completion.

The quest was recognized, and we received a reward of 50 gold coins.

Over time, we had accumulated a considerable amount of gold coins from previous quests such as goblin subjugations, dwarf escorts, and orc exterminations.

Considering our living expenses and purchases, it might be a good time to allocate some money for equipment.

We already knew there was an adventurer’s armory shop in this city, similar to Oyaji-san’s shop. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝘯𝘦𝘵

Perhaps it would be a good idea to visit it soon.

In addition, completing the quest granted us additional experience points from the mission accomplishment.

───────────────────────

Mission completed: Cleared one C-rank mission quest!

All party members gained 5,000 experience points!

New Mission Unlocked: Clear one B-rank quest (Experience Points: 8,000)!

Current Experience Points:

Musou Daichi… 12,6944/13,8867 (Next level: 11,923)

Kodachi Kazane… 13,6256/13,8867 (Next level: 2,611)

Yuzuki Hotaru… 12,6741/13,8867 (Next level: 12,126)

───────────────────────

Wow…

This time, the experience points are the best we’ve ever gotten.

With 3,000 from orc extermination, 10,000 from escaping the dungeon, and 5,000 from the C-rank quest completion, it’s quite a haul.

And in addition to that, the experience points from defeating monsters were way more than just a margin of error.

All the effort was worth it.

After everything was over, we stood in front of the Adventurers’ Guild and said goodbye to Aria-san…

“Daichi-san, Kazane-san, Hotaru-san, thank you so much. Thanks to all of you, I’m still alive. I want to repay you somehow, but…”

“We already received the reward for rescuing you from the guild, so don’t worry about it.”

“Is that so? … Hehe. You three are really strange people. In a good way, though… You don’t seem greedy…”

“—Young Lady!? Lady Althea! I’ve been looking for you!”

Suddenly, an elderly butler in formal attire rushed over in a fluster.

Seeing him, Aria-san seemed bewildered.

“G-Grandpa…!? Didn’t I tell you not to come here? And stop calling me that when I’m like this! How many times do I have to say it!”

“Hah…!? I apologize for my rudeness. But, Lady Althea, this is urgent! The Lord…!”

The elderly butler approached Aria-san and whispered something in her ear.

Her eyes widened in an instant.

“What… Father collapsed from a mysterious illness!?”

It seems like something new is happening again.
