Year 7447, Month 4, Day 9

For a full 2 days or so after I talked to Bel I continued to pound things about guns into everyone properly. During that time I'd always say, "I have something to think about" and spend it thinking to myself.

After that we returned from the dungeon and just as we were returning to the entrance plaza after cashing in our magic stones it was just as everyone else was returning to the surface. Just the same as usual we moved over to Murowa's food cart and exchanged information about our battle gains this time before everyone started discussing the upcoming member change matches.

Yeah, just as expected.

"This month we'll enter the dungeon once more and then have the member change matches on the days off after that. That's why it'll be after the 18th. Also about the method but I'm making it a more simple and easier to understand method."

I thought about the conditions for the member change match while we were exploring the dungeon this time. Last time was far too overprotective.

Everyone's paying attention to what I'll say next.

"Obviously the stamina test is the same as up until now. We'll have this on the next day after we come out of the dungeon, though I guess that's too harsh so we'll do it on the 19th. After you pass through that we'll confirm who each of the pairs wants to challenge. Alright, everything up to here is the same."

Everyone's got a light smile on their faces as if they have some confidence.

Yeah, since it seems like they've been putting in quite a bit of effort after all.

It might be possible that a number of people or groups will pass other than Kamu and Kimu.

"Things are different starting here. Last time we were measuring time and searching around for just the right ogres it was all too troublesome. From here on out we'll make the method I'm about to explain the standard."

After saying that far I looked around at everyone's faces and it was as if they were saying, "Just hurry up and say it already" Yes~yes.

"There's no change in that you'll be up against ogres on the 7th floor but this time it'll be a single round match, the details are simple. The test will last almost a full day. It's fine no matter how you use that day. It's over who can bring back the highest value in magic stones from the 7th floor in that day. Of course it's fine even if it's 1 or a lot of them is fine as well. Obviously only magic stones obtained from the 7th floor will count. The one with the highest value after cashing them in at the magic stone shop Danhiru will win. Right? Isn't it simple?"

Nfu~ and I can hear the sound of sighing. There's some small suppressed laughs as well. They must have quite a bit of confidence. Putting aside the {Exterminators}, the {Butchers} have gained quite a bit of experience fighting against ogres after all.

Of course, I'll be handing each of the groups a map of the 7th floor. Also, I'll have several people go with them as guards and observers to prevent cheating. However, the guards will always remain at least several tens of meters away. They'll confirm the course taken and combat methods but they won't say anything about the methods the challengers decide on and even if they're asked for opinions they won't reply. We'll only tell them just their starting point where we teleported into on the map. Also, it'll act as the safety measure role to prevent them from charging into too dangerous of a place like the monster rooms.

I'll be careful in picking these guards so there's no cheating that occurs. For example, if I let Basutoral or Angela who will definitely be challenged to act as guards, I'll add in at least one other person from the challenger side to act as guard together with them. Depending on the case the person being challenged might be moved to the last in the order and it's fine to fill the guards with nothing but the challengers. If Miduchi or I mix in with them just in case then it shouldn't be all that dangerous.

"Obviously, you should use the weapons and equipment you normally use. Borrowing from someone else is prohibited. It's no good if you can't continue to use it after the test after all. Also, the first ones to pass the stamina test will be given priority in the order for naming someone. If multiple challengers all challenger the same person and everyone wins it would be troublesome in various ways."

Here a number of people started making grim expressions. They must not have though that far. The strongest contenders among the challengers at this point are Kamu and Kimu who won the right last time. If they can't surpass them in the stamina test it doesn't seem like they'll be able to challenge Basutoral and Angela after all. However, since it was still something only obvious it seems they accepted it soon after.

"Obviously you're free to use the full day however you want. It's fine if you return to the 6th floor partway through to take a break or get some sleep, and it's fine if you don't return as well. Well I don't really recommend not returning though."

After that I went through a Q&A over the fine details and finished the discussion.
