Over the Infinite Chapter 15 Part 2

Cloche「Oh, okay.. By the way Tsuna-kun, where are you planning to g-」
Tsuna「Ohh by the way have you been to the Infinite Corridors? We registered quite last minute so we’re still in the process of being G rank. So we can’t attempt yet.」

I saved that! That was so close!!

Cloche「Oh, we went yesterday. We heard the boss is at the tenth floor so we came back at the fifth. The monsters weren’t that strong and the number was similar to the last half of the trial. The only changes will probably just be the few light traps.」

Tsuna「Hm, I was a bit worried but I might be fine then.」

Cloche「You’ll be fine. Ah, but it might be best to ignore treasure chests even if you find them. They’re locked and there’s quite a few enemies around them.」

Tsuna「Yeah, we experienced a treasure chest in the fifth floor of the trial. They’re crazy aren’t they, thought I’ll go insane.」

I was hoping it’d be great if my level went up by two or three, but in the end, thanks to the chest, it went up by six. In the end it was good I guess.

Cloche「Wair, the trial had chests on the fifth floor? Not only the third?」

Tsuna「Yeah, you could drink water there too so it was probably a place to prepare for the boss fight.」

Good, the topic has changed well.

Cloche「Oh. We went around the fifth floor quite a lot but I guess we missed it. For the first attempt we accidentally went into the boss room too.」

They seemed to have followed what the dungeon wanted to happen.

Cloche「Oh, the topic goes back a bit but be careful with chests in the Infinite Corridors, because someone I went to the trial with died in an explosive trap.」

Tsuna「It’s a solo dungeon so there must be many people who can’t dismantle traps, and they still have traps that kill in one shot?」

Cloche「It seems like it. They said they didn’t know what happened when they died. Apparently their face just exploded when they checked the video footage.」

That’s gross. Having to see your own face blow up.

Tsuna「Okay, I’ll tell Yuki too. I mean he’ll probably have no problem. By the way, have you chosen who to fight with for the rookie match?」

Talking about the Infinite Corridors lower floors or the rookie match isn’t odd at all. At this rate I’ll be able to survive till the station.One more stop till my goal. With Kuro’s personality, she’ll probably ask where I’m going and try to walk me there, but I’ll avoid it somehow. I did avoid Mino-san’s attacks so many times so it should be possible.

Cloche「Well yes, obviously… Wait, are you two going to be okay?」

Tsuna「What?」

Cloche「Um rookie matches you fight in threes right? Newbies normally go to the trials in sixes and then split their teams in half, so they’re mostly sorted with teams. Everyone knew that the event was coming soon, so they’re all likely to have chosen their members.」

What.

Cloche「Wait, so there’s no leftover people?」

Anyone alone? See, Philos only has Gowen so they’re a pair. … No, we’re also a pair so that’s not enough people. If Yuki joined them I’ll be alone. I’ll cry at that point.
Yuki won’t do such a thing right? Right?」

Cloche「I wonder if there are any… I haven’t even heard about people adjusting their members recently… Shall I try asking my friends too?」

Tsuna「Sorry but can you actually do that? We just debuted and the match is so close, so we honestly had quite a lot of hope for the third guy.」

Cloche「Yep. I mean I’m in a similar situation to that though. The people who don’t have a team now might have some kind of issue though.」

Tsuna「In the worst case we might have to fight as a pair…」

Cloche「Philos-kun is also… Oh, no, they’re a pair too. What about putting Yuki-chan to their team and you just fight a 1v1 with the middle rankers? It will be fun to watch.」

Please stop. Don’t just speak about my concerns out loud. I’ve also just done something similar recently. Even the support job cat ears was that strong; what am I even meant to do against an actual combat job adventurer?

Cloche「Tsuna-kun, you do stand out quite a lot. The person who’s going to choose you is bound to be strong. What are you going to do if my sister chooses you? She is above middle ranks so it is a possibility.」

Isn’t she like, actually really really strong?

Tsuna「How strong is Asya-san?」

Cloche「Very. You might not know since you were outside till quite recently, but the Red Knight from the Shooting Star Knights is a bit of a known name. There’s no normal adventurer that doesn’t know her. 」

That’s a bit of a good cringey name.

Tsuna「What about her rank?」

Cloche「B+」

Not happening then. She’s a serious top ranker. Even if it’s 3v1, there is not a chance that rookies will win against someone who fights one step behind the frontline. What is going on?

Tsuna「Can you please stop her so that she won’t do anything crazy like choosing me?」

It’s not that I care as much about winning or losing, but if there is a chance I do want a bonus.

Cloche「Ye- yeah, I mean I don’t think a top ranker will enter the rookie match but I will tell her when I’m back at home.」

While we talked about scary thoughts, the train arrived at the station. It felt so insanely long till now, but I did make it to my goal.

-3-

Kuro-san did offer me to show the way, but I somehow said no and started finding Milk Pudding.
It is past midnight, but they should be open.

Using the map I printed with the coupon, I started searching. Unlike near the dungeons, the maps and shapes are definitely pointing here. Definitely.

As I approached the brothel, I saw a few people that seemed to be going to the same place as me, so I followed them.
Eventually, I managed to get there.

It was not right next to the main road but just a bit further away but separated from the residential area.
It looks a bit obvious but it’ll give me a great night. This was the paradise we needed.
The shocking pink blinds my eyes, but my brain is in a similar colour now so it’s no problem.

I spoke to the unnecessarily gentleman-like staff to be shown around. What he’s wearing is similar to the expensive restaurant we went to with Kuro, but it feels very different. Somehow I feel an erotic air about this person. They’re definitely professionally erotic people.

I was taken to the waiting room where there were some customers already. I wonder if they’re also adventurers that saw Werner’s website. There’s probably normal customers too though, I don’t think it’s specifically for adventurers. But even if they are or aren’t adventures, we’re all brothers. We can be great friends tied with a strong connection. It’s not like I’m going to talk to them, but in my heart I believe so. Talking to people is also a bit embarrassing.

「Hey, I was promoted this month so I can receive new services, right.」

「Oh, congratulations. The additional services will be a little more costly but is that okay with you?」

「No problem, show me the menu.」

「Alright.」

I overheard that conversation between a staff member and an adventurer. I’m so jealous of that guy. If, regardless of your rank, you could experience all those services on the website, I can’t imagine what kind of heaven that guy is going to be in.

I’m going to rank up too. When I met the dungeon master I wasn’t that motivated but this is different. Now I’m over motivated. I mean, obviously to fulfil Yuki’s goals is the top priority. This is just a side wish. The Labyrinth City is so cool, just for this purpose it makes me want to make more money.

Staff「Excuse me sir, may I take a look at your status card for a moment?」

Tsuna「Yes, it’s this. I’m still in the process of being registered as a G rank, but there are services I can choose regardless of my rank right? 」

Staff「Of course, since we do have non adventurer customers too. Even if you’re still in the process, you will be treated as a rank G customer. There are some limits but with your rank, we can offer up to the twentieth page in this menu.」

The staff passed me a rather thick menu. Oh my god… If I can only access twenty pages out of such a thick book, it must mean there’s so much more hope hidden in this world.
