“Anything else you want to ask?”

After listening to the information about the 50th floor, Kirikiri asks .

“Anything else?”

“Yes . ”

I think it over .

What should I ask Kirikiri?

I’ve been forced to inquire lots recently so it’s become hard for me to come up with the right questions .

“Relax . I’m not forcing you . ”

Kirikiri seems a little disappointed, so I ask .

“Is it time to replace my equipment?”

The holy sword and soul sword do not need to be upgraded .

Their performance is good enough, but most importantly, the difficulty of the stages can’t keep up with my strength .

So there is no need to find more powerful weapons .

However, I will change my armor pieces periodically .

There’s a fine line between actively promoting risk for growth and completely ignoring safety .

I ask Kirikiri if it’s time to replace my armor, but she shakes her head .

“No . ”

“Has my potion stock dried up? Let me see . ”

I open my inventory and check the remaining consumable items .

The stock of potions are still sufficient .

There haven’t been many opportunities to drink a potion lately, so naturally, there are more left .

“Tissues…plenty . Ketchup . Mayonnaise . Ah, there’s no mayonnaise . ”

I met some people and received their hospitality at a stage after the 40th floor .

Naturally, I ate the food they provided .

Some of the foods were tasty and some were not .

I would secretly add some seasoning or sauce if the food wasn’t tasty .

“No, not that…… . ”

Kirikiri shakes her head while looking despondent, so I ask .

“Then, what is it?”

Kirikiri sighs before answering me .

“Nothing, you don’t have to know it . It isn’t important enough for you to pay for it . ”

Kirikiri says that, but I’m unconvinced and curious .

We try to pinpoint the right answer by exchanging questions as if we were playing Twenty Questions, but couldn’t reach a conclusion .

Note: Twenty Questions is a game in South Korea in which one side asks a question and the other side guesses the answer by asking 20 questions in reverse . – JiuJiuBa

[Welcome to floor 50’s waiting room . ]

Seeing the welcome words after entering the waiting room deeply touched me .

It’s just halfway .

50 out of 100 floors .

It’s ridiculous that I’ve only come halfway in 2 years, approaching the 3rd year .

I finally managed to get here .

I don’t know how long it will take until I get out .

It may take less than a year at my current pace, but Hell difficulty cannot be easily judged .

I don’t know when and where a time-consuming obstacle may appear .

In order to deal with such a situation, I must be diligent to improve myself .

I pull Ahbooboo out of the inventory to study magic .

[Huh? It seems you’ve cleared the previous floor . Are you in the waiting room again?]

“Yes . ”

Ahbooboo is now speaking like a full-fledged challenger .

I’ll ask him about how much he knows about the world one day .

I’m about to study with Ahbooboo, but a magic circle appears on the ground .

To be precise, it appears by my feet .

[Round 32, Day 0, 00:00]

[The Tournament will commence . ]

[Please enter . ]

[Time left until mandatory summoning: 29 minutes and 59 seconds]

[You can leave at any time after entering . ]

“What’s this?”

* * *

[Lee HoJae, 50th floor: What’s this?]

[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: …What’s this? You bastard, it’s the tournament . ]

[Lee HoJae, 50th floor: Why has it started now? I haven’t been informed . ]

[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: …You were informed . The managers have notified us and I personally told you . Round 33! Today! The 3rd tournament! You answered absentmindedly no matter how many times I told you, which is odd . You didn’t remember it at all!]

Did you say that?

I don’t remember .

[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: As per your request, the Order of Vigilance doesn’t need you to do anything . The Order has created a system that can work well on its own . You can enter like everyone else . ]

[Lee HoJae, 50th floor: I see . ]

Lying on the bed in the waiting room, I recalled something .

It seems I’ve gotten information about the tournament from Kim MinHyuk and Park JungAh in the past .

Did KiriKiri want to pass the information about the tournament to me?

That makes sense .

The information fee is expensive .

After pondering about it, I jump out of bed .

Kirikiri watches other challengers as well as me .

If the challengers connected me had the information already, she wouldn’t have mentioned it deliberately .

That means there is the information that no one in the Order of Vigilance knows, including Kim MinHyuk and Park JungAh .

The information might have something to do with the tournament .

[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: What? I feel uneasy now . I didn’t expect that we would miss a piece of information . You said you don’t exactly know what it is?]

[Lee HoJae, 50th floor: Yes . ]

[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: I’m sorry . Although I promised I wouldn’t ask you to do anything, I have to break that pledge . Can you get in as soon as possible? Just in case something happens . We’ll try to find out what piece of information is missing as soon as possible . ]

[Lee HoJae, 50th floor: Okay . ]

After the conversation with Kim MinHyuk, I start checking my equipment .

After making sure I didn’t miss anything, I stand on the portal .

[Time left until mandatory summoning: 13 minutes and 22 seconds]

A while has passed since the portal opened .

[Hu, hu, hu . I’m looking forward to it! I heard that people like Warrior are gathered there? A Shuraba will descend . ]

Note : Shuraba means the scene of carnage . According to myth, it is the location where Asura and Sakra devanam Indra fought . – GodlyCash

Ahbooboo mutters eerily .

Well, it won’t .

It’s not so much a group of people like me, but rather a gathering of townsmen .

Instead of correcting Ahbooboo’s misunderstanding, I stand on the portal and spoke the iconic word .

“Transfer . ”
