The Book of Wanderers (Fragment I)

The deepest secrets of the dungeons lay within this tome. There is but one original, and it is enshrined within the Wandering Manor. The dungeon inscriptions are mere copies of this text. Other fragments exist, each of them containing different contents.

Madness shall control any who come into contact with this wisdom.

“Controlled by madness?” I asked. “Crazy stuff. Reminds me of Cthulhu.”

“Unfortunately, Appraisal can’t understand what’s actually written on the page. Do you think the mansion we explored was the Wandering Manor?”

“Most likely. When you defeat 373 spawns of a specific monster, a fragment of the original book must appear on the manor floor that manifests.”

That sounded easy, but for most explorers, defeating 373 spawns of the same monster in a single day would be a tall order. Some areas of Yoyogi—the first and tenth levels, for instance—weren’t trafficked, and the monsters hadn’t been exterminated. Yet outside of these areas, defeating 373 spawns of the same enemy would prove quite challenging.

“There’s only one copy of the original book,” Miyoshi said. “That must mean...”

“If you hunt the same monster, either the mansion won’t appear, or there won’t be anything in that room,” I finished. “That’s what I think, anyway.”

“We...need to report this, right?”

“Yeah, we’ll do that,” I agreed. “Still, we have nothing but guesses when it comes to the mansion’s appearance and disappearance conditions. I wonder what we should do about the finer details... Plus, there were also those characters on the pedestal.”

“Oh, the Red River letters.”

“Let’s put Red River aside for now. How should we go about translating that text? Even though we know it’s different from the inscription characters, we still don’t know what language it actually is.”

Miyoshi nodded. “And neither of us has any connections to the liberal arts field. Why don’t we try asking Naruse?”

“Guess we have no choice.”

At that moment, I yawned loudly. Apparently, if you lost focus, even Super Recovery wouldn’t ward off sleep. Of course, if that weren’t the case, you’d just wind up as an insomniac.

“Well then, let’s get some sleep already,” I suggested. “We’ll have a lot of hunting to do over the next few days.”

“Do you think the people who were following us earlier are okay?”

“They’re all trained soldiers from their countries. Let’s just hope they managed to escape.”

“So, what do you think those scouts and ace explorers are doing right now?” Miyoshi asked.

“Probably hunting monsters on random floors while trying to figure out our destination. And once they know where we’re headed, they’ll hunt down every monster on that level in the hopes of finding the orb.”

After all, there was no harm in trying, right?

“Do you think the teams following us are mostly spies?” Miyoshi asked.

“Yeah. Since we entered Yoyogi after putting Otherworldly Language Comprehension up for auction, they must think we’ve come here to retrieve the orb.”

“Makes sense.”

A plan began formulating in my mind. “In the end, we could descend to the lowest level and have them help out with capturing the dungeon, but...returning to
