Chapter 84: 84 80 Business contact, that's...

Another side

The otherworldly continent, that is, the moonlit continent where the inhabitants of the demon king's army live.

The basement of a cabin in one of its most remote locations.

It's done.

In this day and age, the working hours have long since passed, and it's past midnight to call it overtime, and soon it will be morning.

At this time of day, a man was in the laboratory with a test tube in his hand and a maddening smile on his face.

Here you go.

The man who had gone from joy to rage was mad, but his expression was happy from the bottom of his heart.

A man who has long ago abandoned sanity and has only striven for one purpose, his emotions are only heightened by seeing the fruits of his labors in front of his eyes.

It's been a long, long, long time!

The tense thread easily flew off in the heat of the moment, removing the stopper of the man's reasoning at the end of it.

Let's get started. Let's begin.

Enjoy!

Come on, let's break it. My son.

Rejoice as you drink the contents of the test tube.

Now, go, go, go, feed on me!　Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!　Gah!　Hahahahaha ......

Then the man's heart finishes its role with a high-pitched laugh, followed by the sound of something piercing it, and a hand of fire is released into the man's cabin.

The hand of fire grows stronger and stronger, slowly but loudly blazing up, as if signalling the start of something.

A shadow rose into the sky, as if blending in with the wolf smoke.

And then the shadow glanced back for a moment, saw the man's laughing face in the fire, and flew away again, disappearing.

Side Tanaka Jiro

"You have a business call, what's the news about the health checkup?

"A checkup?

It's been a few weeks since that tough business trip ended.

The previous commotion was drowned out by an idol's affair, and now it's only a part of the magazine's noise.

The former brave men and women who went back to their daily lives are probably squealing in special lectures now.

Most of the students except for a few have gone back to their daily lives.

Most of the students have gone back to their daily life.

As the person who played a leading role in resolving the problem, I confirmed it in the form of a report without making any appearances.

Then, after the holidays, business as usual came back to me.

There is no concept of a start time in this all-or-nothing self-managed job, but there is an approximate time to gather in the party room.

If you take into account the time for checking weapons and armor, supplies, and meetings, we naturally settle in at 8:30 in the morning.

This time may vary depending on the members, especially depending on the south's participation or non-participation, but it does not have a significant impact.

Katsu and Amelia, a group of high school students, including Amelia Miyagawa, one of the holdovers mentioned earlier, can only come in the mornings on holidays once the summer vacation is over.

The rest of the day is mostly in the evening.

The university students, Kitamiya and Minami, come at different times of the day, depending on the lectures they are taking.

Sometimes they come first thing in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon.

Although our party is so uneven, we have been able to coordinate it by setting up a white board in the party room for writing down the shift list.

And as far as I can see, only me and Kaido, the resident member of the working group, will be at work this morning.

So there will be no change in your schedule unless you overslept.

Of course, since we already have all the personnel in place, Kaido and I, who are often in this combination even in normal times, have finished our preparations with a practiced hand, and now I've just been playing with my tablet to see if there are any communications from the company before we leave.

"Yeah, all full-time and part-time employees are required to get diagnosed at the company's clinic during this period," he said.

"Is it like an annual check?

I suppose . It wasn't surprising, but it's interesting when you get the call. The notion of having a health checkup in a fantasy world.

The content sounds unusual.

"I'm with you in the grand scheme of things, but you get the idea when you have a magic test.

If you are doing this, it is not surprising that your body is being affected in some way.

If you check the details, you can see that in addition to the items of height, weight, etc., there are also a lot of items that are rare in Japan, such as the magic mark test and the magic power test.

At this rate, there will be some other items added to the blood test items.

Looking at the contents of the checkup, I thought this would be a day's work, and I tried to make a plan for it, but I couldn't.

I try to make plans, but I want to go now if you haven't heard anything else.

Well, let's just get the job done.

"Senpai ...... I'm so depressed,

"It's no use, we have to follow the instructions from above.

Unfortunately, it's almost time to go to work.

Since there were no other business calls coming in, I put down my tablet and Kaido grabbed his twin swords that he had recently replaced.

We're not headed to the Onion King's dungeon or the Immortal King's dungeon, much less the Kiki King's dungeon.

It's the dungeon of the Mushroom King.

Why we're taking on a dungeon we've never taken on before.

It's not because we were looking for a new world or because we were bored with other dungeons.

It's not that I'm bored with other dungeons when I haven't finished solving them.

The only reason for this was simply because of a word from the supervisor

"I'm not getting anywhere with the attack. You guys go play the dungeon of the Polly King.

With that being said, you can't afford not to take action.

At first, all of the party members followed the instructions, but there was a problem.

"'[Physiologically impossible!

My party members and women of both genders, Minami, Kitamiya and Amelia, were the first to announce their retirement.

It's understandable.

A giant spider over a meter in length flew through the trees of the Amazonian jungle, army ants larger than tigers strutted about, and moths with a color scheme larger than a man's face counted every time they walked ten meters, and even I, as a man, could not help but scream.

You'll be able to see the seriousness of the moths as they lose their tone of voice.

To be honest, I was prepared to die when I encountered a mantis that was over three meters long.

No, it didn't die, but I was reminded again that insects that come to prey on you with all their might are a terrifying thing.

To be honest, it was depressing to take on a dungeon that was already approaching the realm of mental attack.

And the worse conditions are compounded.

Three women were eliminated from the tournament, so the three men could not take on the challenge alone.

"Excuse me, my school

Our healer and Okan, Katsura, is a part-time job and cannot be converted to resident strength.

Thanks to this, my strength has been added, but it's gone downhill.

As a result, I'm taking on the challenge with one third of the total strength.

"We can't force them to do anything.

"I was more afraid of going crazy and getting shot with friendly fire.

"Yeah, like the Great Magic of the North Palace.

That time was terrifying .

The sudden surprise attack from behind caused Kitamiya to lose control of his mind, and a magic attack from behind, thinking only of annihilation, was nothing more than a nightmare for his allies.

He later apologized, but until the problem is remedied, it's better to go safely with a few people to get the job done.

Well, Kitamiya was soberly depressed when he was notified of the disqualification, but ...... win will take care of it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

Now that I've challenged it enough times, I'm able to adjust to the mental burden of the insect paradise to some extent, and I'm able to let such events go by in the past and laugh about it.

Thanks to that, I only feel heavy these days.

A wry smile is enough to motivate me to get what I need and head into the dungeon.

"I would have panicked if a giant spider had come from above to prey on me, but I wanted you to handle it calmly.

"We almost got burned to the ground,

Hair is life!　It's no laughing matter to me. If you experience it, you'll understand how hard it is for me.

No.

"It's clear!

Of course.

You're going to be chattering away at each other, exchanging greetings with passing fantasy employees as you make your way to the dungeon entrance.

Do you know him?

I don't know.

No, I haven't said anything yet.

I'm not an esper, so if you're asking me if I know a subject that's missing, I can only say I don't know.

In the midst of all this, Kaido suddenly remembered and opened up the topic.

I'm unpredictable about its content, so I honestly and confidently answer that I don't know.

I'm more interested in the extra income you'll get from today's dungeon attack.

That's a rumor.

"What, your favorite succubus has a boyfriend?

"Kathy is free!　That's not it. It's about rare monster placement.

"Aren't you Brad?

It's a little late for that, but it's a different story as you can see from the way Kaido talks.

It seems someone else proposed it. It seems that someone proposed to give you a very expensive item if you defeat it.

"Ho, that's a bold move by the company, too.

The first thing that comes to mind is either a chest-shaped demon or a metal slime that escapes at breakneck speed.

Either way, I can see what it's for.

Is it to motivate the testers, or is it a

"Instead, I hear there are a lot of demons nearby.

It's still a trap.

Decoys as bait.

You're blinded by greed, and in your haste to chase them down, they'll beat you to a pulp.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that.

But isn't it a dream to get rich?

It's not funny if that get-rich-quick fortune is a house in the sand. What if the price of your life is actually 10,000 or so, even if your body doesn't die, it still hurts.

It's ridiculous to risk your life for such a thing.

"A solid paycheck is better than a dangerous sum of money. Quit your whining and go to work.

"Hey!

The time for such a waste of time seems to be at an end.

You stand in front of the empty elevator-like entrance and fiddle with the console beside you.

Then you finish the setting and the door quietly opens.

And then the hot, humid air, with its characteristic humidity, touches your skin.

It's so hot, and it's already autumn outside.

"It's that kind of place. Think you're in the Amazon.

"The guy is ridiculously big, though.

The next thing that comes into view are trees found in the tropics.

The word "jungle" seems to fit.

But unlike the earth's Amazon.

There's no animal sounds there.

Instead, the chirping of insects and flapping of wings can be heard all around.

"Shall we head west today?

"Yes, I'm ready to map.

"Write politely?　Your handwriting is so dirty.

I'd like you to tell that to the enemy. Last time I was blown away by a strange liquid that ruined the map. At least the purchase of the materials was higher than average, so my anger has subsided.

Then you need to make the most of your mistakes.

"I'll be careful.

The materials found in this dungeon can be used for weapons and armor across the board.

There are many other materials that can be obtained without fighting, such as sap from trees and honey stored by certain demons.

That's what keeps us motivated.

Let's go Kaido!

"Yes, sir.

Switch your consciousness and step out into the untamed jungle.

Then, without going straight into the bushes.

Leap up the trees.

This action comes from our point of view that when moving in pairs rather than in groups, it's better to focus on mobility than on caution.

Field-type dungeons are simply much larger than labyrinth-type dungeons.

Exploring such a vast land slowly is the end of life.

Therefore, I move around to choose a foothold like this.

Another reason is to avoid the insects hiding in the bushes.

However, they are not safe in the trees.

"Kaido, incoming! There are two large spiders ahead. Don't collect the material, and we'll leave as soon as they're down.

"Yes, sir. Let's go ahead with the magic.

"Oh, let's cut to the chase.

On its way, it encounters an enemy.

I see a huge spider with a venomous pattern on its back.

There are two of them.

There's no mistaking the presence of the same number.

This time I've managed to get behind a meter-tall spider that was aiming at its prey as it passed below.

Kaido's fireball landed beautifully on his back, and when he lost his balance, he cut both of them off as if he were cracking open a bamboo with his mineral tree.

The spider on the next tree is also cut down with the returning blade.

Blood doesn't spurt out, but vanishes as magic, which means it's a soul.

We must move before we get swarmed.

"Yes, sir.

The scary thing about this dungeon is the numbers.

You can experience what it feels like to be attacked by aliens, an army of more than goblins, an appetite that is not afraid to sacrifice for predation.

To engage in a noisy battle in such a place is to invite the enemy to join you.

Leave the spider's claws as a material and move quickly.

With a few, you have to be hit and miss to survive in this dungeon.

I'm glad we learned that early on.

"Praying for a praying mantis: ......

"What do you do?

"The materials are not worth it, but the experience is good. I'll kill it in five minutes. If you can't, we'll leave.

"Yes!

Basically, this dungeon is quite suitable for the environment of raising demon crests, as long as you keep in mind the immediate departure from close combat.

Kirou's dungeon takes a long time to get close to the enemy, the Immortal King's dungeon is too physically resistant and inappropriate for us, and the Onion King's dungeon is booked with other testers.

Thanks to this, our recent growth has been remarkable.

I've been thinking about efficiency while avoiding the two large scythes and the mouths with their sharp fangs.

The fighting style is one in which I draw their attention and Kaido attacks from behind.

If I can capture it, I'll just drop him, but I'll do everything possible to reduce the danger.

Let's move on!

It's not too busy.

I don't blame you.

For three minutes, cut off one of the scythes from the base of the shoulder, and the rest of the herd will be non-threatening and easily taken down and moved on to the next.

Avoid the herd at all costs and hunt the few.

Hunt for the few. Today was a lucky day.

We found a beehive on the way and managed to get some honey.

Kaido and I were delighted by this unexpected extra income and we'll call it a day.

Today's dungeon attack went smoothly and we came back unusually uneventful.

Am I wrong to feel uneasy if nothing happens?

"You're too worried about it," he said, "but it's a good thing that the honey sold better than expected.

"You care too much ...... and so does it. Sorry Kaido, too many bad things have happened to me lately.

I had a bad experience during a business trip, you know. Why don't you go and purify yourself next time?

I'll think about it.

Is it just overthinking that everything is fine and dandy, and it feels to me like the calm before the storm?

Or is it something I've been working out lately is whispering to me.

I didn't know.
