Arafoo Kenja no Isekai Seikatsu Nikki

- Kin, Kin, Kin!!

The sound of crushing something solid echoes.

In his hazy consciousness, Zeros was listening to the sound.

Thoughts are still wrapped in deep darkness, relying on their sound to try to awaken consciousness from the mud called darkness, but heavy as if shackles were being filled.

That's what the slightest consciousness wanted to fall to the bottom of the darkness as it was.

- Gin, Gun, Kin, Zugagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagaga!!

"'' 'Ha, ha, soya -!!' ''

"Me, gutted!

"'"' Soya, Soya -!! "'"

"You're retarded, but your arms are geniuses!! Keep your soul going, let's wurking!!

"Soya, soya, soya, soya -!"

"Splashing sweat is - brighter than tears - and you look like you work BU-TIHOO ♪ If I can't use this arm, I'll just rot into the dirt after!! Before us, I can't believe it's impossible. If you put some wielding magic into it, it'll be a rocky light in the way." "" "Sparking! '' '' If there's a guy who falls, just hit him and gut him!!

"" '' If you have a tsuruhashi, you can go anywhere. I can't work. Dwarves are just garbage!!

"There's nothing mixed up!? The tune is weird and no!!

Zeros, wake up with a scratch.

There seemed to be a subtle mix of phrases like I heard somewhere, then I woke up unexpectedly with a completely different tune and lyrics. Besides, the sound of beating with a tsuruhashi is eightbeat.

In the old man's mind, all that remains is the stiffness of the name Moya Moya discomfort.

And I remember at the same time. That I was abducted by Hamba Civil Industries...

"This is... where? Where have I been abducted?

If you look around, it's a big underground space.

Numerous lamps using demonic stones were installed on ceilings and surroundings, the lights of which illuminated the surrounding dark underground space like midday.

Scaffolding on a curved giant rock wall, many craftsmen are desperately waving the tsuruhashi.

"Ooh, you noticed, honey"

"Mr. Bowling!? Where the hell is this place?

Dwarves are hard to discern in appearance. Still, Zeros distinguished himself because he was a familiar voice and a bearded dwarf. If he had a mustache, he probably wouldn't be able to tell.

They are so indistinguishable.

"Right here? This is [the great ruins of the Irmanus underground]. Our crime scene. Come on."

"Ruins...... Speaking of which, all the buildings here are made of stone. It looks pretty old from what I've seen..."

"Oh, somehow it's an evil wartime ruin. At the same time, it's a town where Dwarves live."

"Heh..."

Unable to work together, Zeros decides to gather information to confirm the situation.

In Bowling's story, [the Great Ruins of Illumanas] is a shelter for the Dwarves, so to speak, once built during the Evil God War. I don't know why the Dwarves gathered here, but they have lived in this vast underground space, making a few products and continuing to expand a little bit while selling them externally.

Due to the small amount of mineral resources underground, but also the ability to mine them, I spent a long time digging through the large underground tunnel connecting the three countries and trading, but the route was extremely inconvenient.

Initially, many Dwarves will go, but eventually cobolts and goblins will settle in the underground streets and gradually become dangerous underground streets. Until recently, mercenaries were visiting the land to defeat Kobolt and Goblin, and they were able to reduce the majority, but cannot be alarmed.

Because there is a possibility that another herd will soon arrive.

"Hmm, I don't think that's the only way I'm going to be taken. Can I help you?

"Explain that. Well, listen to me a little more."

The life of Creston, then Duke about thirty years ago, lifted plans to further expand this underground street, and over time the construction was steadily progressing.

There are two other similar underground towns in the city we are in, and the plan to connect the three cities in one underground street is frustrating on one issue. The reason for this is the huge rock wall in front of us.

The streets connecting the two sides of the Kingdom of Isalas and the Empire of Atorum did connect, but they cannot penetrate the rock walls on the side of the Empire of Atorum and on the side of the Magic Kingdom of Solister.

Hamba Civil Industries has been on the site for a month now and has been working on it but the results were unexpected.

The rock walls are stiff even wielding the tsuruhashi, using [Gaia Control] to magically drill holes, but the effect is one thing. Even more desperate holes will be completely undone the next day.

Some places also existed to play magic, and construction hit its biggest obstacle here.

"Play magic? The hole blocks? That's a strange story..."

"I think so, too, but you can actually see with your own eyes, can't you? It's already got fine metal in it, and it seems to be undoing the magical effect."

"That's crazy. Whether it contains metal, it should have a magical effect. Still, if it were to be played, it would be highly effective by [magic barriers]..."

"Whatever you say, I'm not a magician, you don't get it, do you?

It is still believed that the story of metal overthrowing magic, and it is commonly believed that if the rock contains any metal at all, the magic will also be erased. It's a particularly common mistake for those who don't know magic.

However, magical helpless zones are rarely created in natural environments. If there is, it is only the dungeon.

Or that can't happen if you make it artificially.

Also, even if it was a magic barrier, Dwarf was highly magical, but lacked sensory ability and could not grasp the cause.

"Artificial? No way, that rock wall... no, I can't say for sure yet, but I'm sure I'll have to give it a try. Well...... '

Zeros had a little idea, but he accidentally looked up and saw the bo-ring.

"Mr. Bowling. I'll go under that rock wall. I don't know anything about not actually checking with my own eyes."

"Oh, please. You're the only one I can count on. It's late for construction."

"There are a lot of puzzles, so if you can, I'll ask for guidance from a few craftsmen"

"Leave it to me."

Guided by the boring, we head under the rock wall.

Along the way, I could somehow confirm the appearance of an armed mercenary.

"Why are there so many mercenaries? Didn't you get rid of the gobs and dogs?

"Skeleton's been out lately. Damn, even construction is delayed, but it's troublesome..."

"Skeleton...... hey. And the lights that illuminate this city, where do you supply the magic that you can get into this magic tool? I don't care what you think, I can't make it up to you with demon stones..."

"I don't know. I didn't wonder because it's been like this for a long time, but when you say that, where's the magic coming from? Well, that's why they say living ruins."

"Don't you know where the magic supply is? Without the magic buildup, you wouldn't be able to move this many magic props. There must be a magic supply point somewhere...... where the hell is it?

The land had too many puzzling points.

If you believe Bolling's words, countless magic props have been installed to light the lights for a long time, and the location of their magic supply is unknown. Rock walls with even more unusual hardness and regenerative capacity.

A certain hypothesis comes to mind, but there is no certainty, and I just have to be sure with my own eyes. The old man is just getting a little fun.

If the hypothesis is correct, you are likely to see something interesting. While doing so, they reached directly beneath the rock wall.

"Oh, Mr. Zeros, are you awake?"

"I don't know about kidnapping all of a sudden. Besides, isn't it an M.O. for kidnapping? If it wasn't me, you'd be sued."

"Bad no, bad no. I really don't have time for this, but I'm on the offensive."

It is the abductor, Nagri, who has spoken out. He doesn't seem to think it's bad at all.

Dwarves are artisanal when it comes to their work, but they are usually a very messy species.

"Consider it also convenient for people, not at all...... So, is this the rock wall in question...... Fine, it's expensive."

"Oh, this guy's in trouble. Do something about it."

"There was something that bothered you a little. I'd like to give it a try, okay?

"Whatever. If you can get to work, it's your word."

"Now let's just... [Gaia Control]"

Zeros used it with all his might [Gaia Control]. The effect created about 20 meters of stiffness on the rock wall surface. From all around, 'Ooh...' grows an admiration.

But Zeros' purpose was different, and he felt the magic of the rock walls flowing in the lost part of his life because of his magic.

Magic barriers are stretched out as if to alleviate the magic of Zeros, and the effect of trying to drill holes diffuses around them to replace the effect of blur. Besides, the magic of Zeros, which I used to penetrate, was offset.

As a result, sand mixed with large quantities of minerals poured down in front of the rock wall.

"I see......... right. This is troublesome."

"You figured something out?

"Not yet. In a little while, I think you'll see something interesting?

"Hey, what? Interesting..."

In front of many craftsmen, including Zeros, it happened.

The sand created by Zeros with a magical effect moves simultaneously, returning to the rock wall and blocking the contour. Everyone breathes into phenomena that are not naturally possible.

"Hey...... korya......"

"You're lying, you're blocking the hole so fast... Seriously, what's going on?

"Do you have a map?

"Hey, we want an explanation..."

"Bring me a map. This is a map of the neighborhood, including this city. I hope it includes all the other cities if possible. I'll take a look at the map, check it out, and we'll talk about it."

"Wow, ok...... hey, somebody get me a map! Our destiny is at stake, get moving!!

Craftsmen in a hurry, but nothing would have required more than twenty people to move.

The more they move, the slower the construction here is. Because if you fail, you have to pay compensation. The craftsmen are in such a hurry.

Anyway, this is a national undertaking, and it is unacceptable to fail.

By the way, the old man forgot that his thoughts shifted to expectations that seemed interesting when something interesting happened and he was abducted. Normally, it should be a crime...

Another thing Zeros was incensed with was the socks Nagri had been wearing for a month and the stinking strong liquid that enhanced its odor. [Conditional anomaly deactivation] skills were also helpless in front of a vicious stench.

Maybe you're right to forget about the kidnapping. There are things in the world that you don't have to know.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

A number of maps brought in in large quantities.

From among them, an object close to the overall view of the Great Relic was chosen and spread over the tabletop.

"What is your current location?

"Oh...... mostly around here, but now what do we know?

"Wait a minute. Assuming this is the current location... is this rock wall curved..."

While staring at the map, Zeros retrieves the compass from the inventory and looks for a center point around the area where the charcoal is caught. And when I assigned the approximate position, I drew a circle all at once as it was.

"Perhaps, but that rock wall is a kind of magic barrier. Constructed with a combination of [Gaia Control] and homogeneous magic and magic barriers, the effects of magic, no matter how attacked, are offset along the way, and the crushed parts are rebuilt again. To put it plainly, it's a wall that can be repaired on its own."

"Hey, if that's a wall by magic, then that inside..."

"On that scale, I think there's probably a city. It's from the old days...... It takes a lot of magic to light the lights on this ruin. Considering where you brought that magic from, it seems the magic comes from the ruins behind this. Hey. Otherwise, Tsujitsu doesn't fit..."

"" "" "Ruins," he said. - Huh!?

The Great Ruins of Illumanas are ruins built by Dwarves.

The ruins are surrounded by curved walls as far as they can be seen, and the outer perimeter of the walls is covered by rock walls that perform self-regeneration to prevent intrusion from the outside. The underground tunnel continued from the city built on the outer perimeter, one of which was through other cities.

Unfortunately, we are far from being able to use it as a street, and we cannot go through any more carriages.

The funny thing is that this ruin only slightly diverts the magic that leaked out of the inside of the rock wall, making up for the whole town's lights with its magic alone. That being the case, it is extremely likely that a huge build-up of magic exists inside this.

The diversion of magic would have led to the survival of only a few of the old magicians who thought they had been wiped out and would have helped to build this Dwarf town. The question disappears when we think of it this way, but another question arises anew.

"How did the wizards come to this land? 'That's the question.

Zeros thinks the reason is inside the wall.

"So? How do you get through that wall? There's got to be some way, isn't there?

"I can't do it from the outside, I'll rebuild it immediately no matter how crushed it is. There must be an entrance somewhere, but where is it buried..."

"Come on, what is it? It makes sense what we've been doing, right?

"You will. It's impossible for me to build a barrier of that magnitude. Perhaps there is a facility for sending magic inside…"

"You're gonna go that far and smash it."

"No way! If you imitate like that, this city will be buried in the ground too. You should somehow discover the entrance, infiltrate the interior, and use every ruin."

But I don't see the key entrance.

If you can find it, you will have access to the entire ruins of the old, living era.

That economic effect would not be foolish.

"The problem is... where's the entrance, hey"

"That's the problem. Yumbo, don't you know what it is?

"There's no way I know! What's with the axe in your hand?

"Nothing, don't worry about it. hahahahahahaha"

"Right, wahahahaha..."

It was a nagri that had not yet forgotten the grudge of food.

Aside from that, Dwarves and other craftsmen will talk about sharing their opinions and information with each other.

About an hour later, one conclusion was drawn. The mercenaries are behaving badly.

"Er... integrating all opinions, mercenaries go hunting somewhere apart from escort requests, but there are only a few demons that can be defeated in such an underground world. I have a dog on the gob, but I think that's pretty much why I'm knocking it down, and I think there's something wrong with that. That's the skeleton!

"You're a cunt demon. Is it that important?

"Think carefully. This is the underground world, and at the funeral, they put the dead in a pot, cremated them outside and then buried them, right? So where does Skeleton come from? The answer is…"

"I see, inside the wall... So the mercenaries are hiding it from us?

"I don't know about that, but they'll know better where Skeleton's coming from."

Dwarves and other craftsmen, whose construction was delayed due to unexpected events, were more frustrated than expected by Zeros.

That blows all at once with a word of Zeros.

"Right...... They're hiding the information, right?

"Over here, I can't get to work and it's on my mind. Why don't we just talk about it, with our fists?"

"Oh... you think you can't make money if you report it to the state because it's about them"

"Anyway, it's an undiscovered ruin, if you miss this, you won't get the treasure... It imitates me licked."

"Let's go, you bastard!! Goddamn it, I'm going to simmer you guys!!

"" "" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Yes, this is the scene of a state business.

Assuming you were trying to cover up information, it's not strange that the mercenaries should be sentenced to extreme imprisonment.

Even if I didn't feel like it, I would be obliged to report it if I had identified where Skeleton would appear.

But the craftsmen have not heard such information. When this happens, you are not guilty of using state power as a shield and blackmailing mercenaries. Because it is the mercenaries who are guilty at any rate.

If their deeds were judged to have delayed state business, they would be lucky enough to do so to the extent of falling slaves.

A large number of craftsmen, including Nagri, were on their way to tighten up the mercenaries as they murdered.

"Dead man... you're not answering, are you?

It depends on the attitude of the mercenaries whether or not the dead come out.

After a while, the old man confirmed that anger and screaming would rise in the distance.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The bloody scream broke off.

Waiting at the construction site in cold sweat, the construction warriors came back here pulling the chain.

After scattering the mercenaries and using chains and goose crosses on them, they came back dragging.

Give me a really good smile...... They live for real all the time.

"I knew it..."

Craftsmen who are truly satisfied with the freshness of having a bath.

The mercenaries against them are terrible. His face was doubly swollen and his hands and feet could not be more crooked in a person's skeleton, and that harsh fold was breaking their mercenary hearts.

"This... do you need to hire mercenaries? Craftsmen can get rid of gobs and cobolts, right?

The strength of so much arm, the old man can't help but remember to question it.

At any rate, there are more artisans than mercenaries in terms of numbers. Weak demons and such would be an easy victory.

"Ooh, it's you. I knew these guys were hiding information. I hear there's a crack in the back of the rock shelf, and it looks like bones are coming from there."

"Going from there to the back, it looks like there's a distorted wooden door, but they're not coming back."

Looks like there was a ruin after all.

"Door......?

"Yeah, it sounds like a lookout table built on a wall, to be exact, but the timber part rots and the skeleton springs out of that hole."

"… should I report it to the country? If it tastes good, its underground ruins could be an important base. But skeleton hey..."

The occurrence of a skeleton means that a large number of bodies are left behind the site.

Skeletons are not demons in the first place. It is one of the phenomena that comes from the properties of magic.

Magic works to interfere with people's spirits. The Wizard is the one who puts the magic ceremony on a wave of spirit and develops the ceremony and manifests it as a phenomenon. Skeletons, by contrast, are formerly dead, and some of the emotions and memories people leave behind when they die are recorded in magic and behave as if they were willing. This is the so-called Necromancer (Reis).

If Reis stays in this world for a long time, it will disappear due to its natural cleansing action and so on.

However, the magic put into the will of man fears that existence will be extinguished, and dwelling in matter reduces the loss of magic that builds the body. It turns into a skeleton when it's stuck in a body.

But it's a magic body. Over time, personhood disappears, so that it starts attacking people to maintain its personhood. That was the same for all the undead.

"I don't know what the hell the number is, but it looks like you should widen the entrance and deal with them in a group. I don't know how much damage it's gonna do."

"I see, even the predicted size of the ruins is considerable. That's the only way."

"Teresa, get ready for prey!! Another bee fight!!

"" "" "Oooh-ooh!

The construction warriors are under a lot of stress because of their late work.

I was willing to clear that abdominal healing by crushing the skeleton.

Then around Nagri, the assembly began to dig out the entrance to the ruins.

They seem to want anything to accomplish this job. I can't stop overflowing enthusiasm.

And no one can stop you anymore...

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

In the end, civil engineering work was interrupted on this day.

Nagri and the others must go under the crack on the rock shelf in question and provide a quote to dig out the entrance.

Only half of the civil workers who are currently coming to the land are able to respond adequately and are willing to turn to combat positions later. If we don't fix this problem at all, many civil engineering companies lose credibility.

Until then, I cannot allow my work to remain unfinished in such a halfway situation. They are all proud craftsmen. If you fail in your work because of your immaturity, you can be convinced with regret, but this time you have no fallout for them at all.

It's an interruption due to external factors, so we were really trying to solve it on our own.

"There's more to being unscrupulous. What a powerful bunch of people... '

Energetic Hans by the heat and bitterness.

That was the Gatenian craftsman including this Hamba civil industry. There are no compromise letters in their dictionary.

Watching the noisy Hans, the old man sips tea with ease.

The place where Zeros is now is a temporary dormitory built for a number of civil workers.

In the first place, the town, which is a Dwarf settlement, has a limited number of inns. Not very much, but not large enough to cover a large number of people. To that end, the civil engineers decided to create a simplified accommodation after trial and error.

Dozens of people sleep in places like prefabricated huts, so to speak.

"It's basically warm here because it's in the ground, but bring in food...... Dwarves can often live in places like this. How's the food self-sufficiency going?

"I don't have much, but the ore will be mined, so I'm buying food from the outside with that money."

"Mr. Bowling, are you sure you don't want to be over there?

"Nagri's got a partition, you're gonna be fine. So, the answer to my earlier question is, these days, there's been a speeding courier carriage coming and it's going to help."

"... speeding?

Behind Zeros's brain, one funky summoner explodes in a mood.

"Maybe it's Slapenille's three-headed carriage? Why are you such a dangerous person..."

"Are you talking about him? I don't know your name, but you're treasured. We'll get to the crime scene early, and this town will be very helpful with food being brought in. What the fuck is wrong with you? Well, he doesn't really know what words mean."

"Yes, unexpectedly, he was treasured... I only saw the bad side of him?

There are good and bad sides to people in every world, but I thought [High Speed Jonathan] was clearly harmful. But when the place changed, he seemed to be doing a job that would benefit people.

Reality is not knowing what happens.

"In time, you're going to do long-distance intercontinental transportation. Is the guild's carriage a monster..."

Honestly, I have no idea when I'm resting.

He runs through the streets at a foolish rate, and even carries demons on hunting grounds.

There has been damage, but it has seemed to contribute more than that.

Well, around using the Holy Beast, not the horse, it's a monster enough.

"Well, I threw up because it wobbled so much at first, but it's pretty convenient to get used to it. He's usually a good guy, huh?

"I don't want to get blown up in that tension. Even if it's usually a good guy, that speed is just..."

At least we get a speed equal to or greater than [Waste XIII] produced by the old man.

I don't want to ride in such a noisy carriage again.

"We talked about it, I'm serious starting tomorrow. Mr. Zeros, I'm sorry, but turn to bone control."

"That's good, but we're talking about the entrance to the ruins being about halfway between the cliffs, right? Are you going to keep digging there, Nagri?"

"This is where I went down for a look once. Estimates are made to some extent. My prediction is you'll be excavating the entrance in half a day. The man-made tactics are ready."

"No, I don't know how much, but predictably it's the same size as the castle gate, right? You can't do that in half a day."

Think normally, breaking a cliff like superior to 20 meters is difficult in half a day.

But Nagri and Boring smile invincibly.

"Hey, I'm gonna clean up that cliff in three hours."

"Uhm, if you hit us, I'll dig out the entrance to the ruins and do it right away!

"You're such an idiot! Other craftsmen imitate such impotence..."

"They're motivated, too. Look at that face. You're starving, aren't you? I haven't been able to do a decent job lately and I've been accumulating."

When they see it, the craftsmen are smiling thinly at the rock wall with their goosebumps in their eyes.

They are all artisans who put their lives at work, or even severe job addicts. Words are no longer meaningless.

Because they're happy to be able to do their first job in a long time, and they want to do so much work that they still want to dig it up in Tsuruhashi.

They just want to work healthy, but it's creepy to see as many as 570 humans laugh at Niyaniya at the same time.

"I told you." We're worms who can only work, "he said.

"That was serious... How much I like my job, these people"

"Right...... We love our jobs so much that we can't quit when our family grabs our love!

"Well, no!! Is work and priority until you despise your family?!?

"Hey, it's my family. I can live with it. You're not dying, so you don't have to give it priority."

"Mr. Bowling!? I'm saying something I don't care about, you're a nasty father statement!?

In the case of very ordinary households, work is often too busy to be isolated from the family, but it is a mistake that occurs when work and family time do not coincide.

But the people here are men who take their jobs until they abandon their families themselves. Recognition is the opposite of ordinary people.

Normally, I think of my family between jobs, and I try to do something to take time together, but they intentionally prioritize their work and abandon their family. I'm just wondering how many have been divorced so far.

I no longer need words. They can't get the word from what I said...

"'Cause I'm moving from the first thing tomorrow morning. Oh, take a rest today. I'll take care of what's inside the ruins."

"Ha...... ok. I'm mentally tired today, so I'll keep my magic warm for tomorrow."

"Please, you're our trump card."

"I was already treated as an employee. Oh, it was supposed to be a part-time job!?

On this day, the old man finds out that he is handling equipment for Hamba Civil Industries.

Despite severe headaches, Zeros was led to the second floor of the makeshift quarters by two Dwarves.

In the end, however, he could not sleep until after midnight, and the next day he would have a hard morning due to lack of sleep.

The cause was a big banquet until midnight, when Zeros lost sight of Dwarf's liquor taste in the category. And I'm also a festival lover.

Old man, I still can't get some rest. Clap your hands...
