I’m Alone on the 100th Floor Episode 067
20. Modification of change of previous job (2)
“Change previous job?”
When the thing he had heard from Philip was mentioned, Eugene showed interest.
“I guess there’s one in the workshop?”
“Well? I haven’t seen it in person yet.” Now that I think about it, there were more people walking around the workshop today than when I first came here.
“Is there a reason why there are so many people?”
“Yes, I guess the rumor has spread.”
“It’s a rumor… …
As Mirami spoke with an awkward smile, Eugene narrowed his eyes.
Since she, the top climber, couldn’t use the bulletin board, it was most likely not a rumor spread by climbers.
Most top people move and act instinctively.
They are like NPCs in the game that the guide once mentioned, and they go along with the important flow of the tower.
‘If the top person came after hearing the rumor, there’s a high chance that the item is really here.’
Eugene, recalling the information about the top person he found out above, made a suggestion to Mirami.
“I feel a little curious. Can I come with you?”
Mirami nodded at Eugene’s suggestion, knowing that he was a good person.
“Yes. It feels good to have a bodyguard.”
Mira Mi smiled brightly at Eugene and took the first step.
“The rumor is that the source of the item is west of the workshop. They say that it is not for sale, but that they demonstrate what they discovered above.”
“What did you find up there?”
“yes.”
“Isn’t that the item the guide found on the 5th floor that’s called a job change modification?”
Eugene asked, recalling a part that was different from the explanation he had heard from Philip.
“I actually thought so too, but the job change crystal we’re talking about today is said to be an item discovered on the 49th floor.”
“The 49th floor?”
Eugene tilted his head.
Because what she said was different from what she knew.
The 49th floor, which he had heard about from above, was not the floor where such an object would be found.
‘Well, there might be some differences. I came down too… …
As Eugene made a worried expression, Mirami looked at his profile and added with an awkward smile.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to confuse you.”
“No, no.”
Eugene, who answered that it was okay, asked about the parts of the story he had just heard that he was curious about.
“But when you say ‘demonstration’… does that mean someone is using it directly? Here?”
“yes.”
Mirami nodded at Eugene’s question.
“I heard… that it’s going to be used by people from the Field Guild, but I don’t know the details.”
When Mirami mentioned the Field Guild, Eugene, who was following her, checked his surroundings.
‘Is that the one you went to the day before yesterday?’
Philip was heading towards the store where he had almost been turned away.
‘I see.’ The shop, which was sponsored by the Field Guild, a guild with a saint, was crowded with climbers who had heard the rumor.
“Oh, there are quite a lot of people.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The space in front of the store seemed so narrow that there was no room to step, but it wasn’t much of a problem for Eugene.
“… Let’s go ahead.”
“Oh, wait… …
Eugene grabbed Mirami’s wrist with his right hand and thrust his left hand forward, penetrating inside.
“Ugh?”
“Hey, what kid is pushing that!”
“Let’s not push that!”
Eugene, who was trying to squeeze through the gap, frowned at the sound he heard from the right.
‘What? I didn’t do it?’
Eugene, who had been controlling his strength just enough to avoid making noise, looked at where the sound was coming from.
‘That’s my friend, right?’
The puppeteer from the Drug Guild that I encountered in the lab yesterday also seemed to have come here to confirm the rumor.
‘Well, if it’s another job change modification… I guess they’ll want to check it out too. I don’t think it’ll turn out well if we run into each other.’
Seeing as the absolute domain was never activated, it seemed unlikely that they would ever discover us.
“Miramie, this way.”
“Hey, it’s suffocating, but I can only hear noises behind me… …
Eugene, who decided it would be best to stay away from the puppeteer, slightly changed the direction he was walking.
“We’re almost there.” Eugene encouraged Mirami and walked cautiously, successfully reaching the front of the store.
“Huh??????
Mirami let out the breath she had been holding as she walked to the front of the store with Eugene holding her wrist.
“Huh?”
He had a puzzled expression on his face, as if he couldn’t believe that he had made it through the crowd. “If you want to see something like this, you have to sit in first class.”
Eugene smiled faintly.
“Oh, yes… …

Mirami, who felt guilty without realizing it because of the devilish smile, apologized to the people she had pushed past.
“When should we do it?”
“If I see people gathered here, I think it’ll start soon.” In front of the store.
All I could see from my first-class seat was that the store’s display cases had disappeared and a simple stage had been created in their place.
≪ O ”
=……?
I could feel people moving busily inside the store.
“I guess they’re going to do it now.”
“yes?”
As soon as Mirami asked, the lights on the stage came on.
“Ladies and gentlemen. We’ve been waiting for a long time. Some of you may have come here because of the rumors, while others may have come here out of curiosity because there were so many people passing by… A man who appeared to be the MC came up on stage and began to speak.
He seemed to have stood on this stage often to promote his inventions, and he seemed to have a sense of experience in his speech.
“Ah, before we begin the demonstration… I would like to thank the Field Guild for supporting our workshop. Thank you.”
The host on stage bowed his head toward the crowd surrounding the store and then got straight to the main point.
“Does anyone know what we’re going to introduce this time?”
As the host pointed the microphone in his hand at the audience, there was silence for a while. ‘Everyone is so passive.’
Before the host broke out in a cold sweat, Eugene, who was standing in the first class, opened his mouth.
“Isn’t it a change of job title?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The host nodded and looked at Eugene with a satisfied expression as he spoke.
“But you’re only half right.”
“Hmm?” “The modification I’m going to show you today is a little different from the previous class change modifications you all know.”
As the host reached into the store with his speech, a creator who appeared to be an employee came up to the stage carrying a box covered with a cloth.
“Okay, this is it!”
The host grabbed the bundle in front of him and pulled it hard, shouting
Flutter!
The wrapping was removed, revealing the glass box that had been hidden inside, and more precisely the crystals contained within, to the public.
“What is that?”
“I think the correction is correct… …
As the disc slowly rotated inside the glass box, the crystal sparkled irregularly in five different colors.
“Now, this crystal is something that our sponsors, the rankers of the Field Guild, discovered on the 49th floor! Do you know what kind of trials are on the 49th floor?”
Silence followed again.
“Hey, Mr.?…”
To confirm, Eugene opened his mouth again.
“Seasonal trees… aren’t you fighting against seasonal trends?”
“……
The host, who had just nodded and said, “Yes!”, blinked and looked at Eugene.
“… Yes! That’s right! It’s Skill Royale!” The host, ignoring Eugene’s ‘wrong answer’, laughed heartily and said the ‘correct answer’.
‘Skill Royale?’
These were four letters I was hearing for the first time.
“The crystal we are showing you now was discovered on the 49th floor. So, it is inevitably related to the trials of that floor.”
Although the host focused on the speech, spitting, Eugene was more distracted by other things.
‘It’s different from what the teacher said.’
Even though he didn’t know most of the lower floors, Eugene had some information about the trials that appeared from the 40th floor onwards.
From the 40th to the 50th floor.
From the 50th to the 90th floor.
From the 90th to the 100th floor.
Because I had heard information about him from the top floor.
“Everyone, what kind of floor is the 49th floor? A place where you can experience different classes, practice before going up to the 50th floor… Isn’t it a real skill-boosting floor?”
When the host asked the audience, several of them nodded in agreement.
‘This isn’t the floor I know.’
Eugene recalls the past as he reaffirms that the trials on the 49th floor are different from what he knew through people’s reactions.
‘Well then, it’s time to start getting off now.’
‘Yeah… I guess I should go down… …
‘Why? Are you worried?’
‘Hey, I’m so worried, Master… I told you I remembered everything. I even wrote a note on the Rasil leaf.’
‘You just have to go down and look for the deer, right? I know. Don’t worry, I won’t forget what you told me.’
‘ha?…”
‘… … ?,
‘No. Maybe it’s better to forget.’
‘why?’
‘I can’t be sure that the trials you’ll face as you go down will be the same as the ones I went through.’
Eugene, who was thinking about the teacher he met on the 97th floor, put his thoughts aside for a moment and focused on the stage in front of him.
“This class change crystal we just invented yesterday… doesn’t just change classes, it’s a crystal that allows for ‘nesting’!”
“Nesting?”
“A warrior who uses a heel? A stealthy archer? A magician who wears plate armor? Yes! All of those fantasies can now be fulfilled! Namely… … The host, with his shoulders tense, turned around in a glass box with his palms facing away.
He pointed to the crystal that was being made.
“Fix previous overlap!”
