Sure-Hit Archer 62

Current

And the next day.

Today is another day for me to head to the dungeon to level up.

The town is a little tense because of yesterday's events, but it is still peaceful.

A few stern-looking people are walking around, but they are wearing a mask that says they are on guard duty, so they're the commissioned explorers.

Also, since the target was a high school student, the school was closed for a while. Junior high school, and elementary school students have also been given a break from school, just in case.

There is a high school girl in my neighborhood who is a childhood friend of mine. Is it right to call her a childhood friend? Is she a childhood friend? Well, let's call her a childhood friend.

Anyway, I have a childhood friend, and I'm sure she's enjoying her sudden vacation.

I want to relax once in a while too.

"All right. Let's go for it today."

I'm going to head to the dungeon as usual.

".Hey, they're not here today."

I arrived at the Fiery Light Dungeon as usual, but there was no one there except for the guards and passersby.

It was no exception for the religious people who had that negative movement of explorers, and I couldn't find a single one of them.

If I say it's convenient, it's convenient, but I guess it's kinda uncomfortable.

Well, what's the use of worrying about it?

I thought so as I entered the Fiery Light Dungeon.

"Well, let's get started then."

Then I dove into the dungeon of lights to raise my level and beat the seven demon flame one-sidedly from outside the boss room.

I had a briefing meeting and other things to do, so today was the first time I had to grind the boss for proper leveling up, but it's still easy to level up.

Thinking about this, I headed home.

It was getting quite dark outside, and it was almost time for the sun to set completely.

"Oh no, I've overdone it a bit just because it's been a while. I have to go home soon."

I started walking toward home as fast as I could.

While I was walking home, I saw a strange group of people.

I couldn't see their faces because the sun was already setting, but there were three of them.

I thought that was suspicious.

It seems my thought was correct, and the figure is staring at a single house as if searching for something.

"As expected, it's not at the level of just suspicious."

It's too suspicious.

"Hey, guys!"

I tried to talk to the three suspicious people, but they ran away when they noticed me.

"Eh, eh~!"

I was surprised because they were so fast.

The strength itself didn't seem to be that much, but I don't think it's a speed that a normal human being can achieve.

And the three guys ran away just like that.

But the mark on that clothing that I saw for a moment. Could that be it?

"It's a lost religion, right ......?"

Labyrinthianism──its official name is the Church of the Labyrinth.

The Labyrinth Church is a religion that has been running a negative campaign for explorers around here recently, or for quite some time now.

I even looked into it before, wondering why they were doing this.

Well, the result is something that doesn't quite match their current activities.

The activity is to gather people whose family members have been sacrificed in the dungeon and offer prayers.

People who die in dungeons after being attacked by monsters do not leave their bodies or even their forms.

Therefore, the bereaved family members couldn't accept their deaths and become vengeful toward the dungeon.

I understand that feeling.

When my parents died, I was also sad and painful beyond my control.

Of course, my parents were not explorers who died in the dungeon.

Well, that's OK. The problem is the prayer.

It seems that the prayer originally intended to calm the vengeful spirit.

Activities were also supposed to calm such vengeful spirits by listening to them.

It should never be the kind of activity that says that dungeons are a gift from God, as is the case these days.

Now was a person wearing clothes with the mark of proof that he was a believer in such a superstitious religion.

And if he was searching the house, did he aim at someone inside?

"Let's call the authorities and report it for now. It's probably useless, though."

I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed 110 to call the police to this spot.

I should have taken a video for evidence.
