50: General Anonymous [...Break...ing News?] A new Dungeon was cleared just one week after it was discovered.
51: General Anonymous That was fast. Too fast.
52: General Anonymous The government released the specs. It was a Dungeon where the difficulty shifted between day and night. They decided it was too dangerous to leave alone, so it was cleared out immediately.
53: General Anonymous Heh. That’s rare.
54: General Anonymous It was a composite of an Otherworld-type and a Cave-type. Just looking at the data, it seemed like a nightmare.
55: General Anonymous Wait. Wasn’t that place under the jurisdiction of Lord Guardian? The reports said Reima-kun was sent there for an audit.
56: General Anonymous That was the plan, apparently. But when he arrived for the audit, Lord Yamato was already there. They ended up fighting side-by-side.
57: General Anonymous ...I would give anything to see that. Why wasn't there a stream?
58: General Anonymous Lord Yamato is too fast for the cameras to catch anything worth watching. Plus, he rarely streams anyway. It’s just how it is.
59: General Anonymous Then what are those high-performance devices even for?! I seriously wanted to see those two fighting together.
60: General Anonymous Oh, and it looks like Reima-kun released a dossier. He summarized all the Dungeon’s monsters and the drop items.
61: General Anonymous Competent as always.
62: General Anonymous The guy is a saint.
63: General Anonymous I just took a look at the file. The level of detail is insane.
64: General Anonymous The fact that he did almost all of this alone is what’s really terrifying.
65: General Anonymous Well, it doesn’t matter much now. That Dungeon is already gone. Lol.
66: General Anonymous Don't be a dick.
67: General Anonymous The data can still be used for other Dungeons. It’s never a waste to have more information.
68: General Anonymous Lord Yamato’s notes are in here too, but... Wait. What?
69: General Anonymous "The deciding factor was Reima’s magic..." And as a result, the Dungeon was completely flash-frozen?
70: General Anonymous Please say that again in Japanese.
71: General Anonymous It is Japanese.
72: General Anonymous Right. I heard you. Now say it again in a version of Japanese that actually makes sense to a human brain.
73: General Anonymous There are photos in the report. Yeah... the whole thing is beautifully frozen solid.
74: General Anonymous Wait—what does that even mean?
75: General Anonymous The entire place is a glacier now. Was it that kind of Dungeon to begin with?
76: General Anonymous Face reality. Look at the "before" photos. It was just a normal forest.
77: General Anonymous That’s insane. Lol.
78: General Anonymous How does someone even manage to do that?
79: General Anonymous Not even the [Ice Princess] could pull off something on this scale.
80: General Anonymous It would be a problem if she could.
81: General Anonymous Someone remind me: what exactly is a Summoner?
82: General Anonymous Reima being a freak of nature is just a regular occurrence at this point.
83: General Anonymous He’s capable of close-quarters combat, he has multiple Summoned Beasts that exceed S-Rank, and he’s a magic nut. And what else? Oh right, he’s a ridiculously good-natured guy.
84: General Anonymous There’s literally no reason to hate him.
85: General Anonymous I like his weird vocabulary. It’s funny.
86: General Anonymous Take this to the dedicated thread. There are too many topics to cover here.
87: General Anonymous True. Moving on to recent news—how about the Dungeon Festival?
88: General Anonymous I’ve been waiting for someone to bring that up!
89: General Anonymous It’s the biggest event in July, after all.
90: General Anonymous It’s the memorial festival for the [Dragon Vein Basin]—the first Dungeon to appear in Japan. It commemorates the day Lord Guardian defeated the giant snake there.
91: General Anonymous Back then, a lot of people died. They barely managed to stop that Dungeon.
92: General Anonymous This is basic stuff. They teach it in compulsory education.
93: General Anonymous Dungeons were popping up everywhere. The Basin wasn't even that intense compared to others, and it still had an S-Rank monster. The world was broken.
94: General Anonymous Unlike today, people weren't being born with magical power back then. You had to dive into a Dungeon and hope you "awakened." It was the worst era.
95: General Anonymous If Lord Yamato hadn't awakened, Japan would have been finished. More than that, if he hadn't gone abroad to save other countries, we probably would have ended up in a world war over resources.
96: General Anonymous The whole world was in total chaos. This was around 1975, right?
97: General Anonymous Which means it’s been exactly fifty years.
98: General Anonymous Nowadays, wars between humans are banned. I guess we have magical power to thank—or blame—for that.
99: General Anonymous It’s for the best. The aftermath of a battle between Job holders is too dangerous. Besides, no one has the spare time for war anyway.
100: General Anonymous Technology keeps advancing thanks to Dungeon resources. It’s more efficient to dive into a hole in the ground than to kill each other over oil.
101: General Anonymous Let’s get back to the fun stuff. Apparently, Kushinada-chan is coming to the 50th Anniversary Dungeon Festival!
102: General Anonymous Wait, seriously?
103: General Anonymous The ticket lottery is already live, and the odds are astronomical. Paid online streaming tickets went on sale five minutes ago. I already booked mine.
104: General Meikutsu Student I’m a Meikutsu student. Since it’s a joint event with our school festival, I’ll be helping out as staff. I win at life.
105: General Anonymous ——!? A Meikutsu student! Tell us everything you know about Reima!
106: General Anonymous Corner them! Don't let them get away!
107: General Anonymous Seal the exits!
108: General Anonymous Get a cage ready!
109: General Anonymous He’s our newest Hero, after all. Of course we’re curious.
110: General Meikutsu Student You people are terrifying...
111: General Anonymous Don’t be like that. Talk to us.
112: General Anonymous We have snacks~
113: General Meikutsu Student Reima-kun is a genuinely good person. We’re in the same class. He always greets me in the morning, and he’s incredibly considerate to everyone. He’s also a total Dungeon geek. If you try to talk shop with him, he gives you a full response and ends up teaching you things instead. There’s a rumor he spends a lot of time on the school rooftop with his Summoned Beasts. I went to look once, and he was laughing... he had a look on his face I’d never seen in the classroom. ...Um, can we stop? My brain is going to melt if I keep thinking about this.
114: General Anonymous Sorry. We went too far.
115: General Anonymous Is the guy some kind of manufactured brain-wrecker?
116: General Anonymous So that’s what Reima is like when he’s just being himself.
117: General Anonymous Well, no wonder Kaiser likes him.
118: General Anonymous I heard those two even hang out on their days off.
119: General Anonymous Apparently, he’s going to a barbecue soon with Lady Ayane, Shiki, Lady Kagura, Lady Laura, and those two other good-natured guys.
120: General Anonymous Yeah, I think I saw that on Tsumitter.
121: General Anonymous I wish they’d stream it.
122: General Anonymous I’d be happy with just the audio.
123: General Anonymous I don’t know the location, so I’m just going to go to the river and pretend to be a rock.
124: General Anonymous I’ll be a tree.
125: General Anonymous I heard they’re going to do some fishing too.
126: General Anonymous Must be nice. It sounds peaceful.
Afterword
Time flies, and we’re already at the 60th episode. I keep asking myself how this happened when I originally intended to update much more slowly, but I want to thank you all again for continuing to read.
On a side note, Kakuyomu-con 10 is coming up in four weeks. I’ll be entering this work, and I’m already trembling with anxiety.
I find myself wondering if I’ll pass the first round, or if the readers will stick with me even though I’m still doing daily updates... I have a lot of worries, but I’m going to keep writing, so please stay with me.
In the next chapter, a new Summoned Beast will appear.
I’ll be updating again tomorrow, so please leave a supportive comment if you can.
