Hm?
Why do I have FOUR jobs?
This is Quadra......
"Is everything all right?"
Watanabe-san speaks up, worried at my dazed face.
"My level...... forty-fo......"
"Please be quiet. There's no telling who might hear. You understand why, don't you? Quietly, please."
Today we're heading to Dr. Amamiya's hospital for rehab, but first I've been brought to the warehouse inside the dungeon.
This seems to be the warehouse our party rents; apparently we gear up here before heading deeper into the dungeon.
But the warehouse is bare—nothing but two sets of armor.
Shouldn't there be weapons on display, or something?
No—it turned out that was the least of it.
They told me to check my Status, and when I chanted 【Status】, things were...... incredible.
"What's going on here? I'm not Double-Rank, am I?"
I ask in a hushed voice.
I take my adventurer license from my pocket and check—sure enough, only two stars.
Double-Rank......
But still—four jobs, and Level 44.
You could call this Quadruple-Rank Status.
"So you hadn't noticed that either. No—we should assume you had forgotten even 【Status】 itself. I apologize. That is Haruki-san's true strength. Thanks to that special skill, you became this strong in such a short time."
There's only one Quadruple-Rank party in all of Japan.
And it supposedly took them over four years to get there, yet......
I think I finally understand why it's a secret.
But still......
"With this, Floor 50 seems doable too. Now I'm actually looking forward to getting my memories back!"
"Huh?...... I see. Floor 50...... Yes, of course. For now, let's focus on your rehab. And please, keep your strength strictly confidential. The doctor seems to have noticed how high your Status is, but she shouldn't know about the special skill. Please be very, very careful."
Watanabe-san has been a little off since yesterday's examination at the university hospital.
Not just Watanabe-san—my mother too.
Apparently, while I was being examined, some senior doctor spoke to them about my condition......
I'd guess the results weren't good.
The university hospital visits, planned for once every two days, got pushed to once a month; and in the dungeon, it's rehab only now—no more memory treatment.
Meaning it will take time.
(Won't make it in time for the exams, huh......)
"From today, once rehab is over, you'll be studying here—so keep that in mind. I shall serve as your tutor, properly and thoroughly."
Here?
Well, that's fine, but then......
"So the dungeon is off the table for a while......"
And I was really looking forward to it......
"For now, let's prioritize getting your body back in shape. It's all right—the dungeon isn't going anywhere......"
Huh? Did I say something wrong?

"Hmm, what incredible endurance. Even a skill-forged needle can't get through when you tense up...... You're a doctor's nightmare, you know. Injections aren't scary—just relax and it'll be fine, all right? This never used to happen. There's a fear of pain in there—no, I should say it still remains......"
No, it just plain hurt, you know?
And if the needle snapped, of course I'd get scared......
"How is the rehab coming along?"
Watanabe-san asks the doctor.
"That side looks fine. In a week or so he'll stop breaking things. Progress is good."
"Then in a week, may he enter the dungeon?"
"Haha—this IS the dungeon, you know. But you're an exam student, aren't you? Natsukawa-kun and the others have been studying every day lately instead of going deep. You'd do well to follow their example."
I was hoping to get the doctor's blessing—apparently it won't be that easy.
Still, I was surprised to hear Soushi and the others are going to university.
Can they even make it in time, starting now?
I'm in no position to talk, though......

"Right, let's start with 'Blue Ocean.' Hm? Wasn't I subscribed to 'Blue Ocean's' channel? Whatever......"
Once I got home and settled, I decided to catch up on six months of videos.
After rehab I tried studying on the warehouse's second floor, but disaster upon disaster.
Pens snap, the handle of the teacup Watanabe-san poured for me crumbles—total mayhem.
For a while, I can't even turn textbook pages without Watanabe-san doing it for me.
I thought I'd be studying with Soushi and the others—turns out it's just me and Watanabe-san. That surprised me.
A beautiful tutor at my side the whole time—looking forward to tomorrow, too.
"Hm? Oh? Recruiting new members? 'Blue Ocean' is?"
This was the top result when I searched 'Blue Ocean.'
I planned to watch from six months ago in order, but this looks interesting—I'll start here.
"Huh? This Mami-tan is the streamer Soushi likes!"
What's this?
Support members, huh......
The goal is to eventually escort 'Blue Ocean's' main members to Floor 50, so they're recruiting combat jobs, I see.
Several have already joined, and apparently there's buzz that a second Quadruple party might be born from 'Blue Ocean's' support roster.
So 'Blue Ocean' is aiming to conquer Floor 50......
But nobody's ever come back from Floor 50, have they?
Adventurers and soldiers alike......
(But with 【Gate】......)
Escorting them to Floor 49, sure—but even information from Floor 50......
Helping them out might not be a bad idea?
But I was told to keep it secret......
Well, maybe I'll talk it over with Soushi and the others tomorrow.
