I hate being in pain, so I think I'll make a full defense build-Novel

Defense Specialization and the Start of Exploration

Once the important talk was over, they cast aside the sentimental atmosphere and started exploring.

“I’ll head for the 6^th Floor Town. Maple and others have problems with that floor, right?”

“That helps a lot…”

“As for me, I’ll go to the 4^th Floor Town. Personally, I’m interested in that floor, so it’s perfect.”

“What about us?”

“What if we stumble into a battle along the way…”

“Do you want to ride Tsukimi and Yukimi?”

“We also need someone to provide cover.”

“Then, let’s do that. I guess I’ll head for the 3^rd Floor Town for the time being, since it’s nearby. If there’s something like a flying machine, it’ll be easier to move around.”

Chrome would go to the 6^th Floor Town, Kasumi the 4^th Floor Town, while Kanade and the others would go to the nearby 3^rd Floor Town. They were going to split up.

“Please call me if you need anything! I’ll fly to you!”

“Of course. Okay, I’ll call you if I get in trouble. In fact, I’m somewhat lacking in attack power.”

Maple and Sally sent them off, praying that the search would go smoothly.

“I’m a bit nervous knowing that they’ll be supporting us with all their might.”

“Just relax. Like Maple said, it’s actually not that different from usual.”

“Uh-huh!”

“Then where do we go first?”

“I don’t think it matters where we start, we’ll get lost either way.”

“Ahaha, the map is so huge.”

The first thing they did was to run out onto the field. There were other options, but after thinking about it, they decided to head to the town first.

“I think we should start looking for a quest!”

“Good idea. That sounds more productive than wandering aimlessly on the field…”

Maple and Sally left the guild home and started walking around town.

“The townscape feels straight out of a fantasy world. Let’s see, the buildings that stand out…”

“Hey, what about that thing in the back?”

Maple pointed to a two-story building located at the very end of the main street, with two NPCs equipped with armor and spears standing on either side of the gate. From the large chimney, smoke was billowing into the sky. In that town of houses that could be considered private, that building seemed to have some other function.

“Shall we go?”

“Yep!”

When the two got to the front of the building, they glanced at the NPC who looked like the gatekeeper. Upon seeing that the NPC made no attempt to stop them, they went inside.

Several NPCs were walking around inside the building, holding stacks of paper with some kind of small letters and maps written on them. They seemed to be having a discussion at a large table in the back.

As the two approached, the man who was at the center of the conversation turned towards them in response.

His chainmail made him look sturdier than the soldiers stationed outside. A tower shield and sword were also propped up in the back, seemingly equally powerful. Apparently, the NPCs had also geared up for the 10^th Floor.

“Oh, sorry. I was just discussing the invasion of the Demon King’s minions. The monsters have been getting more active lately. Do you need something?”

After saying that, a quest mark appeared above the man’s head.

“Maple, it looks like we can accept the quest.”

“It’s true!”

“That’s nice. We found it right away.”

“Let’s see, the quest is about…”

Apparently, there wasn’t just one quest. Some were available, some weren’t. Prerequisites for unlocking those that weren’t were listed.

“I see, I see… I guess it won’t work unless you clear the quests in other towns.”

“However, it seems that you can proceed from anywhere. If you proceed to another town, you might be able to skip the earlier quest here.”New chapters are published on ????????????????????fir????.n????t

“I see.”

For the time being, the two had no plans to go to another town yet, so they decided to undertake what was available right now.

“Then… Hmm, I guess I’ll go with this one.”

“Okay, then let’s accept that.”

After the two accepted the quest, the man spoke once again.

“—So, you’ll lend me your strength? Thanks, you’re a great help. We don’t have enough manpower. That said, they’re powerful. I want you to show us your abilities.”

Based on their experience, more difficult quests seemed to await them after clearing this one.

“I’ll do my best!”

“You have a point. All right, let’s clear it properly!”

“Yes, that’s right.”

After receiving the quest, the two confirmed their destination and left the building.

These seemed like happy feedback. No doubt, it’d be a long time before the players ran out of place to explore.
