(POV switch – Mira)

“For the broadcast to recruit new explorers, how about we film the seventh floor?” (Kouta)

When I saw the message from Kouta, I almost crushed my smartphone.

The shock caused me to grip it far too tightly. With a cracking sound, the outer case fractured slightly, and that helped me regain awareness before the worst happened. Although replacing it would not be difficult given my current income, it would be inconvenient to be without it even temporarily.

Sometimes, I lose control of my strength by accident. This must be the side effect of leveling up too rapidly in such a short period. It amazes me how Emilia and Sofia can adapt to such power. Their rate of growth must have been even greater than mine.

No, this is not the time to be thinking of such things.

My mind had tried to escape reality for a moment. We had only just finished broadcasting the fifth floor yesterday. While it was understandable that filming the sixth floor would be difficult, jumping straight to the seventh was beyond unreasonable. Not only in Toyota, but even across Japan and across the world, that floor was at the very front line of exploration.

My smartphone chimed, and when I glanced at it, I saw Emilia had replied.

“As expected of Kouta! Let’s go with that!” (Emilia)

“Do you think we can actually manage it?” (Sofia)

Even Sofia? How could they say something so positive?

“Wait a second, you two! The seventh floor is far too much for us!” (Haruka)

Haruka! So, you are the sensible one!

I felt relieved.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. We took a quick peek the other day.” (Emilia)

“It would be more accurate to say that we got lost and wandered into it!” (Sofia)

What are you two even doing?

“If Kouta-san says so, I have no objection.” (Adelaide)

Adelaide? Has all your nourishment gone to your chest? That is not normal thinking. Or perhaps love truly is blind? And she even manages decent grades on top of that. What is going on with her?

“Then, it’s decided.” (Kouta)

“I’ve seen everyone’s catchphrases, but I plan to base them on Sofia’s idea and adjust them a little, so please cooperate.” (Kouta)

“Muze will make sure it turns out cool, you know!” (Muze)

Ah, damn it.

While I was still in confusion, the initiative had been taken.

It felt awkward to stop them now. Besides, I had to admit I always ended up being astonished by Kouta’s results. Deep down, I was actually expecting him to pull something amazing again this time.

I felt sorry for Haruka, the voice of reason, but I decided to go along as well.

“Understood. I will handle contacting all necessary parties.” (Mira)

“Make sure it is clearly recognizable as a recruitment advertisement.” (Mira)

“Got it.” (Kouta)

“Muze will handle it perfectly, you know!” (Muze)

“Mira, are you serious?” (Haruka)

Thank you, Haruka. Ah, I completely understand your concern. To be honest, my stomach aches as well. But there are times when one must act. That time is now. Moreover, my anticipation and excitement outweighed my worry and fear. When that happens, one must move. Success does not come to those who wait. Now is the time to take that first step.

I just hop Otou-sama would not faint when he heard of this, but that could wait until after we return alive.
