Yoyogi-Hachiman, Office

It was the first day of our dungeon boot camp.

When I came down to the dining room, I noticed Miyoshi was already in the kitchen making breakfast.

“Morning. Thanks for the grub.”

“Thought I might as well! Today’s finally the day.”

“I just wish it wasn’t so gloomy.” I peeked out the blind slats toward the overcast sky outside. I wonder if the Arthurs get cold.

There were Japanese nursery rhymes about dogs being thrilled with the first snow of the season, but I wasn’t sure that applied to hellhounds. Are they really going to be okay?

“Then again, I guess if they were really uncomfortable, they’d just teleport themselves inside,” I decided.

“What are you mumbling to yourself about?” Miyoshi called. “Anyway, it’s not going to be raining inside the dungeon. It doesn’t matter what the weather’s like outside.”

“Ah, that’s true.” I took a pitcher out of the fridge, poured myself a cup of water, and sat down at the dining room table.

“By the way, Kei. We should probably take a trip down to the tenth floor soon.” Miyoshi placed a few eggs, still in their shells, into a shallow, water-filled pot on the burner, then wiped off her hands.

“Thinking about barghest hunting? Snagging another one of their orbs?” The barghest dropped useful orbs such as Darkness Magic VI and Otherworldly Language Comprehension.

“That’s part of it. But, more than that—doesn’t it feel like there are more and more times when we have all of the Arthurs lent out recently?”

Right now Saito was diving with Aethlem on the first floor of Yoyogi. If she was sticking to her training schedule, the two should have been out since early morning.

“Sure,” I replied.

“And starting soon we’ll have one paired with Cathy most days for boot camp management, then one at the office, one with you, one with me, and that doesn’t leave any in reserve. We’re only able to lend one out to Saito today because Cathy doesn’t need hers with the two of us at the boot camp ourselves. Otherwise we’d be out of luck.”

We absolutely needed one Arthur with each of myself and Miyoshi, and one stationed at the office. We’d even had snipers fire on us after all. We couldn’t be too careful. Speaking of, I wonder whatever happened to that guy who shot at us.

Secret Agent Tanaka’s conspicuously inconspicuous face floated up in my mind’s eye, and I shuddered. On second thought, maybe better not to know!

“So, I’m thinking we summon two extra hounds,” Miyoshi concluded.

After the fight with Ngai, Miyoshi should have had an INT stat of around 50. That would be good enough to summon up to twelve Arthurs, and she could do so any time. However, according to what we’d been able to ascertain from our...talks...with Cavall, the Arthurs’ strength roughly correlated to their summoner’s MP, and we weren’t sure if dividing that MP among more hounds would result in weaker Arthurs. In other words, we risked diminishing the MP coefficient.

That was one reason we’d held off on extra summoning.
