Sakuragi City, Yokohama

At a corner table in the Tsubakiya Café on the second floor of the Nouveau Mare across from Sakuragi Station, also known as the Yokohama Dungeon Building, two men ill-suited to their surroundings locked eyes with one another.

“Hey, this is good! This is really good stuff, dude!”

A tanned man turned his eyes up from the printed material in front of him, running his hands through his slightly tousled hair, and offered those words of praise to Haruki Yoshida.

After being told to turn in a pilot during his meeting with Ishizuka of Central TV, Yoshida had been running around day and night trying to assemble a staff. His media connections had allowed him success on the production side, but when it came to explorers, let alone a sufficiently high-level one, he didn’t have a clue.

When it came to dungeon footage, what they wanted to film would be less of a deciding factor than how far into the dungeon they could go. No matter how incredible the images on the lower levels might be, they’d never be able to capture them approaching the situation like an amateur climber in the Himalayas in winter.

“In other words, we just gotta dive Yoyogi, snag some sick footage for this pilot or whatever, and then they turn it into a show.”

Yoshida, who had been taking appointments with any explorer he could book who had a relationship to the entertainment sphere, was left somewhat perplexed by his oddly exuberant meeting partner, along with the strange, slightly strained lilt of the man’s Kansai accent, a manner of speech not often heard in Tokyo.

“Bro, count me in!”

Yokohama Dungeon had appeared when a certain large shopping complex opposite Sakuragi Station was still under construction.

Like The Ring in Groom Lake, the dungeon had adopted the layout of an existing subterranean structure, and so was thought to be nine floors in total, in line with what had been the building’s underground parking garage.

For a time, the completion of the building had been in question, but the owners had managed to seize the opportunity by sealing off the basement floors and slapping the moniker “Dungeon Building” on the structure, opening for business from the second story up as if nothing in the world were wrong. That was Japan for you. The first floor remained unopened to the public, having been converted into a dungeon-monitoring facility.

Because the basement floors had been rendered indestructible by their conversion into a dungeon, the owners got to trot out the line “You can just think of it as having extra reinforcement for the foundation,” which, at the time, had gotten Yokohama Twitter in an uproar.

Due to the preexisting structure on which it was based, Yokohama’s dungeon wasn’t as sprawling as Yoyogi’s. At a meager nine levels, the fact that it hadn’t been captured probably owed to a certain unique property.

With the exception of its first floor, corresponding to the top level of the former parking garage, all of the other floors of the dungeon were boss rooms.
