"Today, I'm going to hunt monsters in the mid-tier like a big boy!"
: Finally learned your lesson?
: How long did that take? A few days?
: Glad you backed off before getting yourself killed.
: I was hoping to see some lower-tier action, though.
: If even Asagao-chan can't do it, nobody can.
Due to a manpower shortage today, I ended up getting dispatched all the way to Gifu. Specifically, I was headed to Hida, Takayama City, known for its delicious beef. My mission was to explore the "Takayama Dungeon," located in the mountains. Normally, since I'm a high school student, I'm assigned to handle areas in the Kanto region, but today's situation was dire enough to pull me in.
Takayama City is crucial for Japan's food self-sufficiency. It used to be just a tourist spot, but now it's a booming place with a large population. The infrastructure is as developed as any regional hub, and it's really easy to get here from Tokyo or Aichi Prefecture.
