"A raid is a large-scale battle instead of the usual party of six." "Full Raid in four groups of six." "It comes with all the fun of a large-scale battle." "A raid requires more than high levels and good equipment." "You must analyze the opponent and form a plan and players must work together to carry out that plan." "You aren't just a random group of people." "The most important element is your willingness to trust your companions with your lives." "That means we'll need people." "I know a place we could go."

"Let those who care about the city solve its problems." "we aren't interested." "Do it without us." "in search of more difficult raids." "Which means that no one's paying attention to them." "he's the only one I can ask." "I've come with a request for you as the Silver Sword guild master." "Understood." "I'm in." "A man's come all the way out to the ends of the North to ask for my help." "Wouldn't it be rude to wait to hear what he wanted?" "Thanks." "Well?" "I'm requesting your participation in a full raid." "In a new raid zone at the lowest level of the Depths of Palm." "so only twenty-four adventurers can go in at once." "We can't rely on numbers." "Then we'll have to go in to investigate it." "Already done." "Oh?" "Look at this!" "What a surprise." "That's enough for today." "Let's go back." "Right on." "my..." "There are monsters everywhere." "968)}Orks' Jelly Rank/ Raid" "The enemies are above level 80." "I believe it will be extremely difficult." "What types of enemies?" "The ones we saw were slimes." "More than five meters in diameter." "The rest is only my guess but given the layout of the facility and the legends surrounding it either a giant or a phantom beast." "A giant?" "Convenient." "so we're used to them." "But there are still problems." "Have you ever been to Susukino?" "a few times." "I'd heard it had gotten dangerous after the Apocalypse." "Silver Sword's presence here is a big help." "Nothing like having a well-ordered combat guild around." "They aren't thugs like Brigandia." "I suppose those thugs must have wandered off somewhere." "problems?" "we're shut down." "We don't have enough people." "Some members couldn't keep up with the raids." "And some people are still in the guild but they don't want to participate in any more large-scale fights." "they've retired." "They could do an easy raid but not a really rough one." "right?" "but we can only take twenty people at most." "Is that because of your memories?" "you lose your memories?" "We don't believe idle gossip like that." "either." "Then why?" "How many times have you died since then?" "Since the Apocalypse?" "not once." "I can't explain it to someone who doesn't understand." "you learn a lot... that you're lame." "you learn that a hundred times." "It gets too painful to continue." "I'm amazed you had the guts to show yourself again here" "Shiroe the enchanter." "Lv. 93 Brigandia Guild Master" "Will it be that easy to find companions?" "It'll be up to Shiro's negotiating abilities but I'd like to find some backup candidates ourselves." "What criteria do you use?" "of course!" "That's rather vague." "Maybe "feeling" would be a better way to put it." "It's pretty important." "I'll just slow you down." "You hold down the fort for a bit." "don't worry about me." "making it a worthy subject of study." "Nice panties!" "I'm forced to agree." "You've got good taste." "you flatter me." "though I'm not too familiar with adventurer customs aren't those what they call "hot pants"?" "Do they really merit the adoration given to panties?" "It's fine." "If that's how you see them in your heart they're definitely pant—" "Are you okay?" "Jerk" "I guess that's enough for today." "I-It's a curse!" "It's Akatsuki's curse!" "What kind of phenomenon is that?" "Can you give me the details?" "Why does that make you happy?" "Forget about that..." "Help me!" "sorry." "They were just such beautiful curves!" "If a beautiful girl like me scratched her face up it'd be a loss to boys everywhere!" "She said it herself." "I think that's building yourself up a bit too much." "you just get better and better."

"Mr. Democracy." "You bastard!" "Step outside!" "What will we do outside?" "You know what!" "Demi." "He's my guest." "I don't care." "He's my— right?" "didn't you?" "Don't pick a fight over it now." "But..." "Demikas." "You can't beat Shiroe anyway." "I've gotten some raid items since our last fight!" "It's because you think equipment will help you beat him that you can't win." "Then let's test it." "Which do you like more?" "Hamburg steak or minced cutlet?" "I like them both." "With lots of that demi-whatsits sauce." "just like you want." "Mr. Deluxe." "aren't you?" "Mr. Tofu in Miso Sauce." "You little—" "Brigandia lost half its members." "after he lost to a cat swordsman who wasn't even in a guild." "too." "what happened to Demikas?" "Demi-Demi and his whole guild work for Silver Sword now." "And that's how peace came back to Susukino." "I see." "And Demi-Demi's wife is so great!" "His wife?" "!" "For real?" "He's married?" "How enviable." "She's a noble with the People of the Land." "He kidnapped her to make her his servant he's totally in love with her now." "and Demi-Demi loves her Hamburg steak and minced cutlet." "That's hilarious!" "I'm so jealous." "So he's gained quite a bit of pudge lately..." "Oh." "Demi-Demi..." "He stopped at the last second?" "Not bad." "I've taken a lot harder ones than that." "Just try saying that again." "you bitch Tetra." "Demi got mad." "I said get off me!" "who's that?" "I found her lying around." "Perfect." "that makes twenty-four."
