“Something abnormal in the dungeon?”
“That’s right.”
Dungeon. It’s a dangerous labyrinth infested with monsters and traps. In some cases, man-made structures become dungeons over a long period of time, while in other cases, they occur spontaneously due to the gathering of dense magical power. They vary in size and difficulty, but in there, rare items and materials can also be found. So, despite of danger, many adventurers continue to challenge themselves in search of a fortune.
The dungeon closest to the city is called the Rock Cliff Cave. It is said that the name was given because its entrance is around the middle of the rocky cliff.
“Originally, the recommended rank for this dungeon is D to C, which means that the difficulty level is suitable for mid-level adventurers such as D-rank adventurers and C-rank adventurers. But lately, they’ve seen monsters with level that are clearly out of their capabilities….”
“I see. But dungeons are constantly changing, right? In that sense, it’s not unusual for the difficulty to increase like that, isn’t it?”
“You are very well informed, Reus-kun. As expected of you… Ah~, I wish such a smart baby is my child.”
“You don’t have to appeal to me all of a sudden.”
Does she really want my money? Hmmm, then, apart from adoption, I could buy her body with money…..
『As expected of Master. That’s an extremely filthy idea.』
I was complimented huh.
『I’m not complimenting you.』
Anyways, in order to investigate the dungeon, the guild is gathering as many advanced adventurers as possible.
By the way, including me, there are apparently about 15 adventurers currently based in this city, with the highest rank being B level. Basically, it seems that adventurers from the top of C rank to B rank are planning to participate in this task.
“Isn’t there anyone above A rank?”
“There are only a few A-rank adventurers in the country at most. The gap between B-rank and A-rank is like heaven and earth after all. Moreover, there are only a handful of S-rank people in the world.”
In order to become an A-rank adventurer, you must pass an exam held at the adventurer’s guild located in larger cities.
“You need the recommendation of the guild leader to take the exam, and so far, the B-rank adventurers Fana-san and Anje-san are the closest to the recommendation. They’re both still young and I think they’ll definitely be upgraded to A-rank in the future. ……Oh well, there’s a much younger kid here now.”
I decided to take Ilia’s request. It was a request only for advanced adventurers, and the reward is reasonably high. Above all, it seemed that Fana would also receive it.

Then, eleven B-rank adventurers gathered in the rocky area where the dungeon was located. There was the familiar party of five, the party of three, led by Maricia, who took care of me during the exam, and then Fana and me, plus Anje, the red-haired Amazoness girl.
Most of them are familiar faces.
“Hii! Y-you’re here again..…”
Tilda notices me and her face stiffens once again. Sigh. She didn’t have to be so scared……
I’m a cute little baby, you know?
As I was smiling and playing cute, Anje, the Amazoness, walked towards me with an irritated look. Towards me, or rather, since I’m being held by Fana, she walked towards Fana.
“What the hell are you thinking!? You’re not going to take a baby like that, are you?”
“Ah?, We’ll dive together though.”
“Are you an idiot!? Such a lame baby is bound to get in the way.”
“Not at all.”
“…… Are you serious? Hmph! ……I was a fool for thinking you were even a bit of a rival.”
Anje sighs in dismay.
……I see, it seems that this Amazoness girl has no friends at all. I’m already well-known amongst the adventurers in this city after all. If she had at least one friend, she should have heard about me.
“Hello Oneechan. I look like this but I’m also a B-rank adventurer.”
“……Eh? B-b-baby…. that baby just spoke!?”
