「So, the day has finally come, huh?」
The next day, we entered the Labyrinth early in the morning.
The time has finally come for us to challenge the Floor Boss of the 44th floor. Once we break through this floor, we will be able to go to the 45th floor, where the strength of the monsters we will be encountering will go up again.
「What do you mean by 「This day」, master?」
Roxanne, of course, does not seem to be understanding what is it that I am talking about, exactly, even though it is entirely because of her and her and her saying that we won’t have any difficulties that we have come this far in the first place.
But that should end today.
As I expected, we will not be able to continue going up the Labyrinth floors with the pace of one floor per one day.
「Once we break through the Boss battle with the Floor Boss of the 44th floor, we will reach the 45th floor…」
「Yes, that’s right.」
At least listen until the end and let me finish, Roxanne.
「… and because we were going up the floors of the Labyrinth in such a hurry, then, as expected, the battles are going to get even tougher than they were before.」
「No, we should still be fine if it is going to be at such a level.」
Like I said Roxanne, let me finish first!
「I think that the battles ahead are definitely going to get tougher now.」
I glanced towards Sherry, and she approved of what I said and even repeated it.
As expected of Sherry, the only one that I can count on in such situations. She is always making coolheaded and rational decisions.
「We can still do it, desu!」
「I think we are going to be alright.」
Yeah, as usual, I have no expectations of these two.
「As expected, we cannot be going like this forever. It was obvious that sooner or later we were going to get stuck somewhere, and as we all know, getting stuck in the Labyrinths can be incredibly dangerous. That is why, for the time being, I would like us to take a break here on the 44th floor. We will not move on and fight against the enemies on the 45th floor just yet. We are only going to be focusing on the battles with the Floor Boss here on the 44th floor.」
「Mu… is that really what w are going to do?」
Roxanne started thinking out loud.
Just one more little push. That is all that I need.
「While we are still in good shape, it is always better to take a step back and look at the things from a broader perspective. If you overdo things, it might be just as bad as not doing enough, and that would be truly unacceptable. I want to make sure that we will continue to move forward together without losing anyone.」
「Move forward together without losing anyone… yes, I guess you are right about that, master.」
And with that, I think I finally managed to elicit a concession to my current plan from Roxanne.
「It is just like master said: we cannot go on like this forever. However, I think that the 44th floor should be a good enough of a place for us to stay at for a while.」
Sherry was also quick to express her support of my plans.
「Let’s do it, desu!」
「I think that we are going to be alright.」
And if Roxanne and Sherry are onboard with this idea, then it was pretty much obvious that the other two would not raise any objections either, even though they do not think about anything else.
「Well then, that is going to be pretty much it.」
「Yes.」
Alright!
Not only did I manage to successfully persuade Roxanne, but I also secured a positive opinion from everyone else without any incident!
I have never been happier in my life, even though there is still a mountain of things that I want to do and a lot of places to go.
「But what are we going to do about the time limits though?」
All that being said, Sherry immediately came at us with a difficult problem.
「Time limits?」
Oh? Did that get Roxanne interested?
「Yes. Even though it will be good to stay on the 44th floor for some time, but if we end up getting too carried away with it, we might get stuck on the 44th floor forever, so we cannot allow it to keep slipping away from our attention.」
「Now that you mention it, I guess you are right.」
Ah, yes. Since it is Roxanne we are talking about here, then of course she would not allow us to stay in one place for too long and be determined to push forward, all because of what Sherry said.
Well, certainly, at some point we will have to figure out exactly how long we want to stay at the 44th floor.
It might also be important for us to set some guidelines, or an exit strategy cooked up.
How long are we going to be able to stay here, and what are we going to be able to do during that time? I understand that this is what wer are going to have to think about now.
As expected of the reasonable Sherry, she is always thinking so far ahead.
That, or she concluded by looking at me that that if we continue going the way we are right now, we are going to stay at the 44th floor forever, and that is why she decided to do something about it, but…
Is that not a correct thing to do in this situation? Is it not fine to be slipping around a little, since that is a part of human nature and all?
In any case, we do not need to be thinking about that today.
Whatever you can do tomorrow, do tomorrow.
「Well, we should be fine. And besides, I already have a few drafts on my mind.」
「Drafts?」
「Umu. Basically ways of going through situations in various stages.」
「I see. As expected of master.」
You see that, Sherry? If possible, then I would like you to emulate Roxanne honesty more often.
Like I said, we are going to be fine.
It doesn’t matter that we might be staying here for longer, or that we are going to be slipping around in the worst-case scenario, because that is human.
Throughout that day, we focused on repeating the boss battles against the Floor Boss of the 44th floor. With a few occasional breaks here and there, we were fighting it all the way until the evening.
Since we agreed that we won’t be advancing to the 45th floor and fight there just yet, I was able to focus myself entirely on these battles and fight them with a clear mind.
Honestly, right now I feel as if a heavy weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.
「It is going to be evening soon, master.」
「Oh, it is already so late, huh? By the way, we have received yet another party invitation from the Duke of Hartz.」
「He has invited you once again?」
「Yeah, so today, instead of having dinner at our house, we are going to be partaking of the feast at his castle again. That being said, he said it would be fine for us to come after it gets dark, so I guess we can fight here some more.」
「Yes, we can still fight, so that is fine with us.」
So we are going to do a few more Floor Boss battles, exactly like Roxanne wishes.
When I thought that it cannot be helped, I opened my Job settings, and then I saw that my Mage Job has reached Lv.50.
Previously, when the Explorer Job reached Lv.50, it resulted in me obtaining the Adventurer Job, so I guess it would not be that strange to see that now when Mage Job reached Lv.50 as well, yet another Job would be unlocked for me.
I checked, and it was just like I have expected: I have unlocked access to the Wizard Job. It is the same Job that Gozer must have had, since the one I saw equipped on him back in the day was a Grand Wizard. So that is the progression here: you become a Wizard Lv.1 after you reach Lv.50 as a Mage, huh?

Note from a Web Novel reader:
The naming is as follow
Wizard (WN) = Mage (LN, here)
Grand Wizard (WN) = Wizard (LN, here)
or the following job tree:
Villager Lv5 > Wizard Lv50 > Grand Wizard (WN)
Villager Lv5 > Mage Lv50 > Wizard (LN)
I think it should follow the WN naming because the wiki has it that way, and to not confuse people.
