“Anything else you want to ask?”
After listening to the information about the 50th floor, Kirikiri asks .
“Anything else?”
“Yes . ”
I think it over .
What should I ask Kirikiri?
I’ve been forced to inquire lots recently so it’s become hard for me to come up with the right questions .
“Relax . I’m not forcing you . ”
Kirikiri seems a little disappointed, so I ask .
“Is it time to replace my equipment?”
The holy sword and soul sword do not need to be upgraded .
Their performance is good enough, but most importantly, the difficulty of the stages can’t keep up with my strength .
So there is no need to find more powerful weapons .
However, I will change my armor pieces periodically .
There’s a fine line between actively promoting risk for growth and completely ignoring safety .
I ask Kirikiri if it’s time to replace my armor, but she shakes her head .
“No . ”
“Has my potion stock dried up? Let me see . ”
I open my inventory and check the remaining consumable items .
The stock of potions are still sufficient .
There haven’t been many opportunities to drink a potion lately, so naturally, there are more left .
“Tissues…plenty . Ketchup . Mayonnaise . Ah, there’s no mayonnaise . ”
I met some people and received their hospitality at a stage after the 40th floor .
Naturally, I ate the food they provided .
Some of the foods were tasty and some were not .
I would secretly add some seasoning or sauce if the food wasn’t tasty .
“No, not that…… . ”
Kirikiri shakes her head while looking despondent, so I ask .
“Then, what is it?”
Kirikiri sighs before answering me .
“Nothing, you don’t have to know it . It isn’t important enough for you to pay for it . ”
Kirikiri says that, but I’m unconvinced and curious .
We try to pinpoint the right answer by exchanging questions as if we were playing Twenty Questions, but couldn’t reach a conclusion .
Note: Twenty Questions is a game in South Korea in which one side asks a question and the other side guesses the answer by asking 20 questions in reverse . – JiuJiuBa

[Welcome to floor 50’s waiting room . ]
Seeing the welcome words after entering the waiting room deeply touched me .
It’s just halfway .
50 out of 100 floors .
It’s ridiculous that I’ve only come halfway in 2 years, approaching the 3rd year .
I finally managed to get here .
I don’t know how long it will take until I get out .
It may take less than a year at my current pace, but Hell difficulty cannot be easily judged .
I don’t know when and where a time-consuming obstacle may appear .
In order to deal with such a situation, I must be diligent to improve myself .
I pull Ahbooboo out of the inventory to study magic .
[Huh? It seems you’ve cleared the previous floor . Are you in the waiting room again?]
“Yes . ”
Ahbooboo is now speaking like a full-fledged challenger .
I’ll ask him about how much he knows about the world one day .
I’m about to study with Ahbooboo, but a magic circle appears on the ground .
To be precise, it appears by my feet .
[Round 32, Day 0, 00:00]
[The Tournament will commence . ]
[Please enter . ]
[Time left until mandatory summoning: 29 minutes and 59 seconds]
[You can leave at any time after entering . ]
“What’s this?”

[Lee HoJae, 50th floor: What’s this?]
[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: …What’s this? You bastard, it’s the tournament . ]
[Lee HoJae, 50th floor: Why has it started now? I haven’t been informed . ]
[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: …You were informed . The managers have notified us and I personally told you . Round 33! Today! The 3rd tournament! You answered absentmindedly no matter how many times I told you, which is odd . You didn’t remember it at all!]
Did you say that?
I don’t remember .
[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: As per your request, the Order of Vigilance doesn’t need you to do anything . The Order has created a system that can work well on its own . You can enter like everyone else . ]
[Lee HoJae, 50th floor: I see . ]
Lying on the bed in the waiting room, I recalled something .
It seems I’ve gotten information about the tournament from Kim MinHyuk and Park JungAh in the past .
Did KiriKiri want to pass the information about the tournament to me?
That makes sense .
The information fee is expensive .
After pondering about it, I jump out of bed .
Kirikiri watches other challengers as well as me .
If the challengers connected me had the information already, she wouldn’t have mentioned it deliberately .
That means there is the information that no one in the Order of Vigilance knows, including Kim MinHyuk and Park JungAh .
The information might have something to do with the tournament .
[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: What? I feel uneasy now . I didn’t expect that we would miss a piece of information . You said you don’t exactly know what it is?]
[Lee HoJae, 50th floor: Yes . ]
[Kim MinHyuk, 30th floor: I’m sorry . Although I promised I wouldn’t ask you to do anything, I have to break that pledge . Can you get in as soon as possible? Just in case something happens . We’ll try to find out what piece of information is missing as soon as possible . ]
[Lee HoJae, 50th floor: Okay . ]
After the conversation with Kim MinHyuk, I start checking my equipment .
After making sure I didn’t miss anything, I stand on the portal .
[Time left until mandatory summoning: 13 minutes and 22 seconds]
A while has passed since the portal opened .
[Hu, hu, hu . I’m looking forward to it! I heard that people like Warrior are gathered there? A Shuraba will descend . ]
Note : Shuraba means the scene of carnage . According to myth, it is the location where Asura and Sakra devanam Indra fought . – GodlyCash
Ahbooboo mutters eerily .
Well, it won’t .
It’s not so much a group of people like me, but rather a gathering of townsmen .
Instead of correcting Ahbooboo’s misunderstanding, I stand on the portal and spoke the iconic word .
“Transfer . ”
The space around me starts shaking .
Although I have been able to detect the change a while ago, I haven’t applied the experience to magic .
I don’t know how long it will take to learn the rudiments of space magic .
It’s still far away .
