Good morning, world. Currently, I’m in Yokohama.

 

“But I’m not here for sightseeing…”

 

The next day, after reporting to Tanaka-san, I was about to head towards the B-Rank Cube.

 

I told Tanaka-san about the AMS treatment, the extra boss, and a lot of things all at once. As expected, he was overwhelmed, saying “You’re always so calm about things that could change the world…” But I’ll leave the rest to the smart folks.

 

The B-Rank Cube I’m heading to now is not something you find everywhere at this level.

 

In Japan, each prefecture would be lucky to have three.

So, I’m here at one of the three B-Rank Cubes in the Tokyo area, at Minato Mirai in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture.

By the way, I heard that when people from Yokohama are asked where they’re from, they say Yokohama.

 

People from Osaka say Osaka, people from Tokyo say Tokyo, but I’ve heard that people from Yokohama and Nagoya answer with the name of their city.

It’s a truly trivial piece of trivia, but it must be a matter of pride.

 

I wish Cubes wouldn’t descend on such a busy city, but since the Association is managing it, everyone is safely sightseeing.

 

“Today, I’ll clear one B-Rank Cube in the morning, and if I can, one more. If it seems too physically demanding, I’ll stop and look for a new place to live, or maybe visit Nagi.”

 

Looking around, there are tourists everywhere, couples, couples, and silly couples. I want a girlfriend too, I want to go on food tours.

 

I scream in my heart, but I’ve never had a girlfriend, so I make a note to come back here someday with someone.

Hey you, stop being lovey-dovey in public… They kissed! They really did it!!

 

While resentfully watching the couples canoodling around the red brick warehouse, I headed straight for my destination.

 

“So this is Yokohama’s Cube… It’s really crowded… Mirage.”

 

I used Mirage and approached the isolated Cube.

 

And then I saw it.

“Hmm… not defeating any enemies. That’s a bit different from the usual pattern. But it seems like a good match for me. And there’s the expected extra… but I’ve gotten stronger than before. I should be okay… probably.”

 

And then I looked at the rewards.

Class Up Ticket (Advanced), I wonder if this would allow me to enter a dungeon where I could gain an advanced job.

 

“I have to be prepared when I collect 10 tickets, I don’t want to be suddenly transported again.”

 

I have one ticket from last time, so if I collect a total of nine, I can probably advance to an advanced job.

For now, let’s aim to become an advanced job.

 

With that in mind, I stepped into the Cube that glowed an emerald green. With a dignified sound, as usual, I was transported to the dungeon. It was a snow-capped mountain.

 

“A snow mountain, huh… Um… Retreat.”

 

I left the Cube after only a second had passed.

 

“No, it’s cold. It’s summer outside.”

 

Although the summer is coming to an end, there’s still plenty of lingering heat.

Dressed lightly in clothes that were easy to move in, I decided I couldn’t clear the snow mountain in this state and went to buy clothes.

 

At a nearby shopping mall, I purchased some fluffy skiwear.

As the season is different, it was on sale. I thought I might use it if I ever went skiing.

 

“Thank you very much!”

 

Well… let’s try again.

 

Due to the sudden change in plans, it seems impossible to clear two today.

It’s already nearly noon. I activated Mirage and stepped into the Cube, then changed into the skiwear.

 

“Hmm, it’s snow. The inside of the Cube really is mysterious.”

 

Caves, artificial structures like temples, forests, and now a snowy mountain. All kinds of stages are prepared, but where exactly is this place?

 

“If it’s snowing, is it a natural phenomenon?… Is it to contain them?”

 

If that’s the case, are these monsters the natives? No, it feels more like they’re being confined here.

 

“I’m not sure if they have emotions…”

 

With that, I activated Mirage and moved on. Along the way, I encountered wolves and bears that were as white as the snow.

 

“This would be pretty hard to go through without defeating anyone without Mirage…”

 

I went on as if I was walking through an uninhabited field.

 

“The monsters are killing each other… what kind of world is this?”

 

I watched the ecology of the monsters while activating Mirage.

They attack humans first, but aren’t they comrades?

Do they become allies when a common enemy appears?

 

“I can’t figure it out just by thinking about it.”

 

There are endless questions, but without anything particular happening, I arrived at the boss room.

Without hesitation, I opened the door to the boss, where a giant white bear was waiting.

 

“Giant White Bear… that’s straightforward. Defeat it within five minutes… the status is… no problem.”

 

I checked my status and confirmed that it was no match for me.

 

I activated Mirage and beheaded it in one stroke, staining the pure white fur with blood. I’ve heard it’s used in high-end clothing, and indeed, this fur would probably sell for a considerable amount.

I can imagine it being used as a carpet in a celebrity’s house.

 

“Phew… now the real challenge begins.”

 

I changed my mood from the field trip-like feeling up until now and filled my lungs with the cold air.

 

『Conditions 1, 2, 3, confirmed. Unlocking condition 4』

 

As that inorganic voice spoke, the ceiling of the boss room was painted black.

 

“There it is… as expected, this is the extra…”

 

Like space, it was an infinite black.

 

What fell from there was a wolf.

 

『Condition 4: Defeat the extra boss』

 

A giant wolf, like the Fenrir from mythology.

However, it’s not such an existence; if it were, it would be a monster equivalent to an S-Rank.

The wolf, as large as a truck, had malicious fangs, drooling and looking at me, all in a pure white color.

 

I looked at its status.

 

“From Demon King to… Wolf King. …The king of the Wolf species.”

 

This was the top of the wolf species.

Except for the red species, which surpasses the High Wolf that was the material for my weapon, it is at the peak of the Wolf species.

They are the kings of monsters, so-called king species.

I looked at the status.

Two excellent skills typical of a wolf.

Stealth seems to be a skill that makes it harder for opponents with lower intelligence to recognize you.

Honestly, it’s an amazingly excellent skill.

But it seems like Stealth doesn’t work on me, who has the Eye of God.

And anyway, my intelligence is higher, so its effect is weak.

 

And Super Smell? I looked at its details with the Eye of God.

“…Mirage can be seen through, huh?”

This skill was like a natural enemy to Mirage.

My Mirage, which disappears from sight, just makes me invisible due to the reflection of light.

So, it would be better to assume that my position is always being tracked through Super Smell.

 

“…I thought I could handle this with ease since I defeated the Demon King., but..”

 

I compared it with my own status.
