All of the requests in the booklet seem to be of low urgency. This is probably because in case of emergency, the A-rank adventurers will be the ones summoned directly, as it was the case the other day.
“Let’s see, let’s see…… Hmmm, obtaining materials from the Blood Griffon that inhabits the twenty-third floor…… Collecting high-level medicinal herbs growing on the twenty-eighth floor…… Obtain a magic stone that weighs more than two kilograms.”
“Hn. It’s all difficult.”
When it comes to A-rank-only requests, it seems that the majority of them are of high-difficulty and high-reward. And since it is a city with one of the largest dungeons in the country, most of the requests are related to the dungeon itself.
“Then there’s the collection of mithril ore found from the 30th floor and up….…”
“Can we get Mithril?”
“Yes, it’s one of the biggest dungeons in the country after all.”
Mithril is a rare metal that boasts high magical conductivity and hardness. Even in the previous life, it was very useful for weapons.
“I want a sword made of mithril.”
“When it comes to A-rank adventurers, it seems that most of them use Mithril weapons. I don’t need them to fight though as I can do it with my bare hands.”
“Fana-oneechan, don’t you think you can buy it if you go to the weapon store?”
“I can’t buy it there. I looked at a few places, but I couldn’t find it at all.”
Apparently, there is a shortage of mithril in today’s world. Even though the sword was labeled as made of mithril, it was actually only used in very small quantities and Fana couldn’t find a sword of the level she wanted.
“And I need two. I want the exact same ones.”
“It’s possible that your demands are too high……”
I then suggested,
“In that case, let’s take the request to collect mithril. I think it will be a good idea to bring in the extra amount and have a skilled blacksmith make the sword for you.”
“Yes. I’ll be happy to do that.”
“I don’t have any objections. But since we are going to dive to the 30th floor, we can do other things along the way, let’s do it too.”
All of them are permanent requests. This type of thing can be taken at the same time and there is no penalty for failure. However, if you leave it unattended for too long, other adventurers may secure the required amount, and the quest may be terminated. By the way, most permanent requests can be accepted by multiple adventurers at the same time.
There was a window in the private room, and as soon as we approached, the receptionist came from the back.
“That’s five requests in total, right? Well then, please be careful.”
So, in this way, we dive into the “Great Dungeon of Vegaltia” again.

“I’ve heard that B-rank adventurers are being born from a city of this size…… Apparently the rumors were true.”
The adventurer girl who visited the city of Volante was amazed at the high level of adventurers based in the city.
“But why on earth is it from such small city…? There are no dungeons of great difficulty nearby too……”
“Ah, it’s all thanks to Baby Reus.”
“……Baby Reus?”
What she heard from the adventurers next was something she couldn’t believe.
“He’s a real baby that’s two months old or so at most. It is surprising that he can talk and walk normally, but what’s amazing is that he instantly become a B-rank adventurer. He even defeated wyverns, orc king and even a demon. It’s true. You can confirm it to the guild receptionist.”
It didn’t seem to the girl that the adventurer man was lying. The girl’s name is Chris. She is seventeen years old from the Brazel family, a well-known family of magic, and had just recently moved out of her parents’ house. Since she was not born in the main family, and as a woman, she has no choice but to marry into some aristocratic family in the future. But she didn’t like that, so she decided to become an adventurer. She is tall for a woman and has slender and long limbs. In addition to magic, she is also good at swordsmanship, and she is sometimes mistaken for a beautiful boy because she carries a karmic sword on her waist and is dressed in armor.
“Unfortunately, he has already left the city…… If there was such a baby, I would love to meet him.”
And then she remembered something.
“Speaking of which…… I can’t help but think of the first child of the owner who died of illness immediately after birth…… In fact, it was rumored that his magic aptitude value was so low that he was actually abandoned somewhere…… Reus…. I’m pretty sure his name is Reus!”
After contemplating about it for a while, she then shook her head.
“No, no, it’s just a coincidence.”
