The Darkness Metal Manipulation
Chapter 53's

In a room within the guild, there were two people sitting in their seats and chatting.

A person in a black robe and a black mask, and a rabbit-eared woman in her neat clothes.

"So..., you said there were 16 heroes summoned to this kingdom?" Said the cloaked man, who was none other than Zyden.

"Really! There are 16 heroes called. I don't know why so many heroes are called. But, there are rumors that the kingdom is getting ready for war." Excited Misha, the rabbit beast plus the receptionist of Darion's guild.

"War, huh?" Zyden murmured softly. 'are they going to war with the demons?' Continue thinking.

"If you may know, why are you asking about this. I thought you were just asking about Darion's town?" Misha.

"But you also ask about the high-ranking adventurers in the city, until the hero even if you ask? Are you from outside the kingdom?" Further.

"Actually, I'm on my way to becoming a strong man. I'm going to be an SSS-ranked adventurer and find an incredibly powerful friend, and then we can travel the world together." Zyden said cheerfully from behind his mask.

"Circling the world?" Misha.

"Right, I want to go around the world! Seeing new things, making friends with new people and doing missions with my friends. Hihih." Said Zyden stupidly.

"Eh...? Didn't I know you had such a wish?" Misha recalled Zyden saying coldly and directly kicking people without prior permission.

"That's, ah... Or maybe I could be a hero too? I read books about him often! That's so cool." Zyden is excited.

"If you fight monsters and help people in need. I'm sure you can be a great hero." Misha's speech is subtle.

"Hehehe, sure! I'm gonna be a great hero." Zyden. 'Of course it's also in a fun way.' Continue in the heart.

"..., is there something you want to ask again?" Misha asked.

"Hm...? What's yourname?" Zyden.

"My name is Misha, if you?"

"Call me Zyden. Nice to meet you, Misha."

"Me too, nice to meet you." Misha smiled.

"It looks like I have to leave now, I'm worried about Erika." Zyden said in a warm tone.

"You're leaving already? I thought you'd like to talk to me?" Misha could not be left behind.

"Yes... I'm happy to talk to you, but I have to go. We can talk another time, and thank you for the info. I really appreciate it." Zyden.

"No problem, I'm also glad to hear your story." Misha.

"Then I go first. See you!" Exclaimed Zyden walking to the exit.

"Yes, I'll see you." Misha replied.

'click.'

After a while Zyden came out, someone suddenly appeared from the wall. A woman appeared like she had just fused with the wall.

"What do you think the vice chairman is, isn't he an interesting person." Misha exclaimed at the woman.

"Hm. He is interesting. Fainting a rank A adventurer with just one kick, and answering your question with a naive nature that was not suitable for him when he was with the girl earlier." Said the woman.

"I wonder? Why is he asking about heroes? Hasn't it spread throughout the kingdom!" Further.

"I'm also curious about that, he also asked about the high rank adventurers here. Is he mean to be evil?" Misha said a guess.

"Whatever it is, we must remain vigilant. Moreover, the demon nation has been seen around the Gillian mountains which makes me even more anxious." Exclaim the woman.

"..., What! The kingdom is indeed going to war with the demon race, vice-chairman?" Misha was a bit surprised.

"I don't know either, we just have to do what we have to do." Exclaim the woman. "And it's good that you answer the question with a general answer, I guess you'll answer it in more detail." Complimenting further.

"If he's a good talker, but I'm still a receptionist. I'm not gonna do anything fatal." Misha said confidently.

"Vice-chairman? Do you also think that he's actually handsome?" Misha was curious.

"I thought a little like that, seeing the beautiful daughter who was with her. Moreover, the girl was very familiar with him, I thought that he was handsome and strange because he ignored girls as beautiful as him." The vice-chairman.

"You're right, they're so familiar that they fight in a place full of singles like an adventurer guild. Haha." Misha laughed which was answered with a vice-chairman smile.

Elsewhere in the guild, Zyden had just walked out of the room.

'Come to think of it, why am I worried about Erika? Doesn't that make no sense.' Zyden thought as he looked for an excuse to leave.

'He is free to do anything, at least when he is not needed. ..., Huh?' He then felt that he was taken center stage by the people.

"So he's the kid who knocked Daniel out, he doesn't look so strong." Whisper one to his friend.

"You didn't see it! He kicked Daniel with just one kick, and threw him out." His friend replied.

"It looks like he is an S rank adventurer who has just come to this city."

"If it's true. Daniel was unlucky, looked for trouble with an S rank adventurer, and made him angry."

"Hey, hasn't he been unlucky before."

"It was different, if the adventurer was trying to take revenge. How will Daniel be?"

"That's his business, why should I rack my brains for him?"

"If he sucks, he's still a long-time adventurer in this town just like us. Don't you have empathy?"

"I'll help him if he'll buy me a drink. If not, then yes."

"You may be right, I agree with you."

And there are still many good and bad conversations about Daniel's fate. Meanwhile, Zyden ignored them and walked over to where the quest board was.

'it's still daytime and I don't intend to go around the city like Erika. But, I have no plans until tomorrow morning to do a quest.' Zyden thought looking through the quest board.

'did I just do some missions to add to my rank-up points now?' after a while looking at the quests he could see, Zyden found something that interested him.

"Oh, look at this. Dungeon Expedition!" He looked at the very end of the board, and there was no sign of rank above it.

Zyden took the quest, then watched it for a moment. "Dungeon Expedition! ... This is good, there is no rank level required to enter the Dungeon."

"But there was also no increase in rank for her? Except for the magic stones that can be exchanged? That's pretty good."

"This is also to spend time and improve my mood, after all I said I would do the quest later in the morning."

'I am the one who keeps the promise! At least in some cases, he continued, smiling slightly and walking towards the reception desk.

"Excuse me, can I go for a Dungeon Expedition?" Said Zyden to the receptionist in front of him.

A human male in the same clothes as Misha and he was at the reception desk alone.

"..., of course you can. Dungeon expeditions can be entered by anyone, and whenever they want." The receptionist cried. "As long as you can guarantee your life, you're free to enter the Dungeon." Further.

"Usually what does one do while in a Dungeon?" Said Zyden innocently.

"..., don't you know what's in the Dungeon?" The receptionist asked.

"Yes... I know quite a bit about what a Dungeon is. But, I don't know what's in it?" Zyden foolishly said.

"Be, so yes! Inside the Dungeon, there are many monsters depending on what floor you are on." The receptionist explained.

"The Dungeon in the city of Darion just arrived on the 31st floor. A week ago, there were some heroes from the capital who opened the 30th and 31st floors."

"So, many high-ranking adventurers also participated in the Dungeon Expedition to prove themselves, or saw new monsters on the new floor." Continue receptionist.

"It turns out that?" Zyden replied. 'huh! I can't believe he told me anything without asking. He was really a good and reliable guest. And he's better than that carrot head." Zyden thought about the explanation given by the receptionist.

"Hm...! Eh, wait? Hero said?" Zyden pretended to be shocked by his question.
