Rescued from the crowd by Chris, I was soon reunited with the three members of her party.@@novelbin@@

"Rain~!"

Beimerung, the pink-haired mage, dashed toward me, grabbing my hand enthusiastically. I tilted my head in confusion.

"I just came out, but you were already here?"

"Yep! Just by a few minutes, though," she replied with a laugh.

Since the only drop item was a single Holy Stone, there hadn’t been much reason to linger after clearing the dungeon.

"Rain, you usually don’t keep your system message and region chat windows open, right?"

"Right."

"Well, you might want to check the chat. We’ve got something to brag about this time," Chris said with a smirk, exchanging a knowing look with Beimerung.

Curious about their reactions, I opened both the system message and region chat windows.

> **[Chris's Raid Party has achieved the first clear of the elite dungeon, 'Heavenly Basin'!]**

>

> - Wow

> - Whoa

> - First clear achieved!!!

> - Of course, elite dungeons always get cleared on the first day.

> - How did they do it? How’d they take down the Red and Blue Lamias?

> - Wait, it’s not the No-Name Party this time?

> - First clears used to be monopolized by No-Name, lol.

> - It’s Chris’s raid team.

> - Chris's team should reveal their strategy!

> - Does this mean No-Name was dethroned? Making room for “Whitie”?

> - Nah, No-Name also joined in.

> - I saw Whitie go in alone, though.

> - So Chris’s party beat Whitie to the first clear this time?

> - Chris! Chris!

> - It’s just four against one, but somehow it feels like a huge accomplishment, haha.

"Oh."

When I’m fighting demons and monsters, it’s easy to forget that this world is just a game. With the system that’s been given to me, I simply use it to defeat whatever enemy stands in my way.
