I love time travel the most!

That child... Bell was also rejected by all the clans because he lacked talent.

Fortunately, he eventually encountered a kind god. Although that god was not outstanding, had only recently descended to the mortal realm, and had only one member of his own kin, Bell, at least he had a place to belong and a goal to strive for.

But Kobayashi in front of me seems to be in a more miserable state than Bell.

Eina suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Kobayashi, would you like me to serve as an adventurer's advisor?"

"What?" Kobayashi blinked.

"Because adventurers face great danger in the early stages of their adventures, having an adventurer advisor can significantly increase their survival rate."

"That, that..."

"Please do not worry! It has always been said that 'long-lived elves are learned and talented,' and I happen to be a half-elf."

"This...this..."

Kobayashi subtly avoided the elven girl's assertiveness.

Hurry up and register me as an adventurer, then let me leave! I completely don't understand why she's so enthusiastic; is it just overflowing maternal love?!

The undisguised "I don't want you to die" meaning on that pretty face was completely unmasked. What might seem like concern to others felt like a curse to Kobayashi.

Moreover, if I told her that I was actually very capable and didn't need an advisor, she would definitely misunderstand it as me deliberately showing off and would enter a more serious lecturing mode. Eina is that kind of person.

Most importantly, he can't refuse other people's kindness.

“…I’m counting on you.”

"Please leave it to me with confidence!"

Eina seemed to have accepted a great mission, clenching her fists as if she was determined to do her best.

Xiaolin couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly.

I never imagined that someone who had fought against the Demon King's army officers, intercepted the mobile fortress destroyers, and battled so many powerful enemies would one day receive such care from others.

Should we include the name of the family members?

Kobayashi thought this way.

Afterwards, Eina ignored the cries of the adventurers still in line and led Kobayashi and Ryuzu toward a secluded room in the guild.

She sat on the sofa, looked at Kobayashi across from her, and asked seriously, "Kobayashi, do you really want to become an adventurer? Actually, being a supporter is also a good choice."

"...I'm sorry, I have my reasons." Kobayashi still had a sorrowful expression that hinted at something more.

"Ok."

Eina sighed deeply.

It wasn't just the necessary work procedures, but also her sincere advice. But now it seems that no matter what she said, it was useless.

therefore……

"bring it on!"

boom----

A muffled thud came from the coffee table in the middle.

No one knew what kind of magic Eina had used, but a stack of books about half a meter high was piled up in front of him.

Eina said, "In order for you to survive well in the dungeon, Kobayashi, you need to have some tutoring!"

Kobayashi's eyes widened at the sheer volume of tutoring. He was there to hone his skills, not to take an exam; was this really necessary?

“Miss Eina, actually my strength is quite good, so there’s no need for all this.”

"That's what all the adventurers I'm in charge of say."

"No, no, no, actually I'm different from them!"

"It's useless to talk!"

In fact, Eina was in charge of many adventurers in Kobayashi... no, before she met Bell. However, ever since the death of the first human girl adventurer under her care, most of them never returned from the dungeon.

Kobayashi had her own hidden reasons, and she wouldn't go back to offer any advice, because she also had her own. However, she absolutely wouldn't allow Kobayashi to die in that dangerous situation!

Absolutely not!

And so, Kobayashi was forced to cram three hours of knowledge about the dungeon, and he was only freed from the grueling tutoring in the afternoon after Eina had something to do.

walk down the street.

Kobayashi sighed deeply.

Instead of showing him any sympathy, the waiter beside him said sarcastically, "As expected of Lord Kobayashi, you managed to gain the trust of a half-elf with your acting skills. You could probably earn a hefty reward if you went on stage to perform now."

"...Is this something to brag about?"

Xiao Lin couldn't help but glare at its dead fish eyes.

Originally, he only intended to avoid Eina asking too many questions, which is why he deliberately acted pitiful and vague. Who would have thought that it would awaken her hidden maternal instincts, and he inexplicably became the adventurer under her command.

However, it feels really nice to be cared for.

However, Kobayashi still felt an indescribable sense of guilt, because Ryuzu was right; he had deceived Eina and taken advantage of the half-elf girl's kindness.

"Miss Liu Zi, if we go back now and sincerely apologize, will we be beaten to death?"

"No. Because that half-elf lady would never believe it; on the contrary, she would think you're just putting on a brave face."

"...That's right."

That's just their personality. It seems we'll have to clear up the misunderstanding when a more suitable opportunity arises later.

"Lord Kobayashi, where are we going now?"

"Of course, it's the part we've all been waiting for!"

Kobayashi looked at the giant white tower standing in the center of the labyrinthine city.

Let's go, head to the dungeon!

There is a very controversial question about adventurers: can one become an adventurer without [Blessing]?

The original work states that anyone, regardless of race, gender, or age, can become an adventurer if they are willing. However, it doesn't explicitly state whether the prerequisite is receiving a "favor." Therefore, I'll interpret it based on my own understanding.

Additionally, there will be a clan that joins the family, but it will only be a nominal one, and it will be a clan that can grant Kobayashi a title without arousing suspicion from other clans. Can you guess which one it is?

The afternoon sun was not glaring, and there were pedestrians in twos and threes on the street, including Xiaolin and Liuzi.

There's no need to ask anyone for directions to the dungeon, as the towering white chalk tower that reaches into the clouds marks everything.

Fame, power, wealth, and unexpected encounters—you can obtain anything you desire through dungeons.

"...On the premise that we can survive."

Looking at the massive entrance to the underground city and the stone steps that stretched downwards, Kobayashi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The pitch-black tunnel was like a ferocious beast lurking in the shadows, its gaping maw welcoming fearless adventurers, only to snap shut the moment they relaxed, devouring their bones and flesh to nourish itself. Then, it continuously produced magic stones and rare materials, attracting adventurers in, and so on.

It looks just like a Venus flytrap.

"What's wrong, Lord Kobayashi? Are you trembling with fear?" Ryuji asked with concern when she saw Kobayashi standing still.

If her sharp tongue can be considered a form of concern.

Kobayashi shook his head and said, "No, I'm just looking forward to it. Okay, let's begin."

The two of them went down one after the other.

The entrance to the dungeon is on the first basement level of the Tower of Babel. In the center of the room is a ten-meter-long opening leading directly to the dungeon. Inside the circular room are several equidistant pillars, above which is a beautiful, realistic depiction of a blue sky. A gentle, spiraling staircase descends along the circle into the dungeon.

This is different from the underground city of Kiel.

Kiel's dungeons are truly underground, with walls made of stone. The passageways are dark, and a moment's carelessness can lead to falling into traps and being surrounded by a terrifying number of undead.

The dungeon here is a complex network of passageways that extend outwards in all directions. The walls of these passageways are adorned with twinkling starlight, allowing adventurers to see barely even without torches.

Aside from a slightly oppressive and cramped feeling, there's nothing else to it; it seems quite friendly to adventurers.

As soon as he arrived on the first floor, a chilling aura hit him. A cool breeze wafted from the surrounding corridors, and at the same time, a faint gaze fell upon him.

"Ok?"

Perhaps due to her "omnipotent vision," Kobayashi is particularly sensitive to visual cues.

He frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed his brow.

He remembered Eina saying that the dungeon was alive. There was nothing unusual about the gaze; he sensed no malice, it was simply someone watching him.

Keep moving forward.

In many passageways, people were seen fighting monsters. They were in groups, ranging from two to five or six. Their attack methods varied, but the one thing they had in common was their teamwork.

Eina said that if you're not confident, try to team up with others when entering the dungeon, at least that way you'll have some support.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Adventurers form teams based on their clan rather than race. They generally only trust members of their own clan. If someone tries to recruit members from another clan, you should be wary.

Xiaolin doesn't need to worry, because he doesn't form teams, so he doesn't have any concerns about that.

At that moment, he sensed a wary gaze.

It turned out that he had been standing there for so long that a small team not far away mistook him for someone trying to steal their spoils.

Xiaolin waved his hand, indicating that he meant no harm.

But they kept a close eye on Kobayashi, afraid that he might do something strange, until Kobayashi's figure disappeared into the passageway, at which point they relaxed.

This is a common occurrence in dungeons.

Even though the guild strictly forbids the various clans in the dungeon from killing each other, such things cannot be completely eradicated, so one can only be careful.

Whether it was good luck or bad luck, Kobayashi and Ryuuki did not encounter any monsters along the way.

We went straight to the second floor.

In terms of scenery alone, there's no difference between here and above. In fact, the monsters that appear here are no different from those on the first floor.

In the dungeon, monsters increase in strength by one level every five floors. Floor 17 is the lord floor, which is also the watershed after floor 18.
