I rubbed my eyes.
　I scrubbed them and then looked around carefully.

　The view didn't change, the place still looked like an office.

'You're back to your old world ......?'

　While muttering that, I checked the items first.
　The various items he had gotten in the dungeon, including the pistols and bullets in the Grand Eater's pocket, were still there.

　Then he took out the portable now board and used it.

　It was a familiar status, my status.

　In addition, I used some of the magic I remembered.

　They worked fine.
　Fireball burned the documents on my desk, and Windcutter tore the desk apart.

　The magic worked fine, too.

　I did a lot of things, and my head, which had almost panicked at this all of a sudden, slowly regained its composure.

　There was no sign of anyone.
　I brought up the status window and blasted out magic, but there was no human to react to it.
　To begin with, there were no humans at all.

'...... Maybe...'

　I went to my office window and tried to open the window - but it wouldn't open.

　It was a wall that had the appearance of a window.

'I knew it was with vanadium,'

　This is the mansion where everyone lives now, the Vanadium Dungeon.
　Various rooms, including the salon, are fitted with windows to make it look like a mansion.
　Those windows aren't connected to the outside, they're just pictures of windows.

　It was the same here.

　The windows in what looked like an office were just painted to look like windows.

　I mean, this place.

"A dungeon, huh?

　I concluded that, and turned my attention to the map in my brain, which I had completely ignored in my panic.

　I could see the structure of the dungeon and confirmed it with an ability that allowed me to know where the monsters were.

　Then the structure of the dungeon emerged clearly in my mind, but I didn't see a single point of light of a monster.

''No monsters?''　Will they show up later?

　I nodded my head and thought about getting out of here first.

　Since this was my first dungeon, I couldn't use the transporter gate.
　I'll have to get out of here on my own first.

　I followed the map in my brain and walked around the office.

　The windows were fake, but the door was real.

　When I opened the door and went outside, it was a narrow corridor, just as I had read in the map in my brain beforehand.

''So, that means. So, that's the elevator over there.

　The structure of these office buildings is similar to some extent, and there's a pattern to it.
　A brain map - just looking at the floor plan, you can somehow figure out what and where it is.

　Especially a toilet or a hot water room.
　I understand such things well.

　It's the same with elevators.

　I trusted my senses and came to the elevator hall.

　What I found was a proper elevator hall.

　I walked up to the elevator and pushed the top button.

"............

　I waited for a while - but the elevator didn't come.

　On the contrary, the button I pushed didn't even glow.
　It didn't feel like the elevator was working.

"I can push the button, can't I?

　I pressed the button again and again.
　I pushed the down button, too.

　But the elevator didn't come.

'It looks like it's working: ......

　Unlike the window, which was just a picture, both the elevator button and its body, the door, were proper.

　I could push the button and the door seemed to open.
　I put my finger in the door to try it and try to pry it open - but it won't open.

　I gave up trying to open it by hand and shot an ironclad bullet at the door.

　I didn't care what kind of obstacle it was, I just kept going straight ahead.
　I shot the iron wall bullets that kept going straight through even the door of the carbon dimension at the elevator door.

　The advancing steel bullets.
　The door made a creaking sound and twisted over.

　As it was, it was going to break down.

　I leaned my head out of the broken door and looked up and down.

"...... This is no good.

　It felt like that in an instant.

　There was a decent amount of space in the elevator, but up and down, it was 'dark' with nothing to see.

　I didn't know where it led, but my gut told me that it was a place I shouldn't run into ineptly.

　I gave up on the elevator and looked for the stairs on my brain map.

'But ...... you're doing a proper dungeon,'

　I was a bit impressed and wondered at the same time.

　At first glance, this was an office somewhere in my old world.

　It's not the company I worked for, by the way.
　It wasn't some client's company either.

　It's a structure I've never seen before.

　It was a dungeon, though.
　The top and bottom seen from the elevator was a complete dungeon.

　It was so dungeon-dungeonish that it was a wonder there were no monsters in it.

"What's the name of this place?

　I'm getting very curious about the name of such an "office" like dungeon and its genie.

　For now, let's escape for now, and then we'll partition it so we can go see the spirit.

　With that decision, I headed for the stairs.

　I followed the stairs and headed up first.

　Most of the dungeons in this world are downhill dungeons.

　There are exceptions like Tennesin, but most of them are 'dives'.

　So when I thought about going home, I decided to head up first.

　I went up one floor, but it was still an office.
　The structure didn't change much, just as the general structure of the building is the same even if you go to a different floor.

　Especially the location of the elevators was the same.
　I remembered something and headed for the elevator.
　When I got there, I pushed the "down" button.

　Then, unlike before, I heard a response.
　There was a classic "ding" sound, and the door opened normally.

　Inside was an ordinary elevator.

　It was a medium-sized elevator, enough to hold about ten people.

　As I entered, I saw that there were two buttons for the floor I was going to.

　I pushed the lower floor and then, somewhat out of habit, pushed the "close" button.

　The doors closed and the elevator began to move clearly downward.

　Then it stopped, and the doors opened.
　When I got out -.

'Ah, the floor you just came from.'

　The whole structure, which I can see on my brain map, is different from the one above, but it was the floor I was sent to.

　I turned around and pressed the button below.
　There was no response.

　Then I pressed the top button, this time there was a reaction, and the door opened.

　I knew it was just as I thought it would be. It was similar to the transfer gate.
　That meant the elevator could take me to the floor I'd been on once.
　The reason it didn't respond earlier was because it hadn't gone up or down, and it couldn't go anywhere, so the elevator wasn't responding.

'More and more of a dungeon,'

　These characteristics are still dungeon things.
　I'm more and more convinced that I wasn't sent back to the original world, but to some dungeon, in an alternate world.

　But then there was one big problem.

　Monsters.

　There were no monsters in sight at all.
　In this other world, monsters are defeated and their drop items support people's lives.

　It doesn't matter if there are only dungeons, the monsters that drop are the most important thing.

　Why isn't that ...... why?

'In a dungeon like this one, a guy like ...... office bureau is a formidable foe.

　The next moment after I murmured that, I was surprised to see a woman who looked exactly like an "office manager".

　A woman who looks exactly like an "office administrator" appears in front of me.

　And then... the light spot in my brain.

"A monster?　...... Why?

　I was getting confused again.
