第三単：フルーツボムブと招待と勝利
Arc 3: Fruit Bomb, Invitation and Victory

「Now that Naru-sama and Seine-sana has receive their Blessings, shall we start our briefing?」Rokka sat down on a white fancy metal chair with a pink stripes to provide a comfortable seat. 
「Kaname-sama, are you sure you don't want the Blessing?」Rokka asked Kaname about him rejecting the Sun God's Blessing, 
「I won't accept it since I don't need it. You're just wasting time, Rokka」Kaname smiled at Rokka arrogantly, 
「・・・・・・・」Rokka couldn't say anything back to Kaname after what he said, 
「Let's start the Briefing now」Rokka placed her hands on top of the white metal table top and desperately tried to change the topic.

「We don't know where Thor currently is but the Goddess of Navigation knows where Thor is. There is a Challenge in an certain city where if an individual wins, there　will be able to speak to the Goddess of Navigation」
「We should go there now!」Naru's light purple hair swayed as she move her body back and forth with the metal chair. 
「But we're not done yet.....」Rokka tried to return the attention to the briefing, 
「We should go now!」Naru and Kaname simultaneously yelled at Rokka....

･･･・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

「Wow! There is many people!!」Kaname, a person who is obsessed in reading books was put off when he saw the sea of different races in front of him, 
「Our destination is the Tower of Navigation」Rokka pointed at the absurdly tall tower in the middle of the city. 
「We will sign up in that booth over there」Rokka pointed at the absurdly long line of people in front of the booth, 
「How many hours are we suppose to wait?」Kaname asked Rokka, 
「About Twenty-five minutes」Rokka took out her wrist watch she somehow doesn't wear and just place it in her pocket. 

･･･・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

「That long line is gone already, it's only been 20 minutes. I wish Comiket goes like this」Naru sighed as she approached the booth to sign up to clear the dungeon　inside the tower. 
「There are rules that apply the moment you step in the tower. 
ーThe Time Limit is Thirty-minutes
ーThe  Player must kill every monster that appears in his or her way
ーA good sense in directions is required to clear the dungeon.
ーThe Player must press the button behind the boss monster at Floor 30 in order to clear the dungeon.
ーStaying outside the tower for more than 30 seconds is prohibited
That is all the rules. If even one rule is broken, the Player will be immediately disqualified and will be forcefully teleported at the start point. We wish you good luck, Young Maiden」The lady inside the booth finally finished explaining the rules. After hearing the last rule, Kaname's eyebrow raised up upon hearing the last rule.
「I'll be going! Everyone!」Naru ran inside the tower full of energy. 

Eleven minutes after Naru went in the Tower, 
「I forgot to tell Naru-sama about the 25th floor」Just after Rokka remembered an important thing about the Floor 25, Naru fell down from the tower to a giant pool of cube foams. 
「What was the thing about the 25th Floor?」Kaname poked Rokka's left shoulder and asked about Floor 25, 
「When a Player enters the 25th floor, a strong wind blows the player out of the tower since the 25th Floor is only a long straight hallway that leads out of the tower.」Rokka smiled at Kaname, 
「Okay, it's my turn to try」Kaname entered the tower with an overly confident smile on his face. 

･････････・・・・・・・・・・・・

The moment Kaname got a few steps in the tower, monsters appeared in front of him. Kaname easily killed all the monsters in his way and he reached Floor 24 in no time. The stairs that lead to the hallway of Floor 25. Kaname stopped and took a peak by poking his head out for a moment, he immediately felt the windthat blew all the players out of the tower. Kaname took a deep breath and looked at his black flip phone to check how many minutes he spent inside the tower. After knowing that he only  have 10 minutes to clear the tower, Kaname rushed to the Floor 25. Instead of facing the wind face to face, Kaname ran towards the end of the hallway where the players get thrown out of the tower. Before Kaname get thrown out, he punched the wall on his left and his right hand dug inside the wall giving him something to hold onto. Even though Kaname managed to cling on the tower, the wind still blew him out of the tower. If Kaname doesn't let go, his right arm will be broken. Despite knowing that his right arm will be broken, Kaname didn't let go. The moment his back hit the outside wall of the tower, his right arm was already broken. 

「Bingo」A big smile spread on his face. Kaname then dug his feet in the outside wall of the tower then ran towards the next floor through the hole at the end of the Floor 26 Hallway. Kaname rushed his way to Floor 30. When Kaname reached Floor 30, there was only Four minutes and Thirty-two seconds left; In front of him was a giant wyvern about to attack him, 
「I don't have time for you!」Kaname clenched his left fist and punched the wyvern who charged at him head on. Kaname's left fist landed right above the middle of the wyvern's eyes. Immediately, the wyvern became a treasure chest, similar to the one that appears in RPG games. Kaname walked toward the red button and pressed it. Suddenly, a bright ray of light shined down from nowhere, 
「Are you the Goddess of Navigation?」Kaname smiled, 
「Correct, Young Man」
