Arafoo Kenja no Isekai Seikatsu Nikki
Iris, you are currently at work
Iris - the same reincarnator as Zeros.
No, he could be a metastasizer, but either way, he was definitely a player in [Sword and Sousalis].
She is currently...
"Fire Arrow!!
- I am in the middle of a request for a mercenary guild.
Recently, he defeated the oak with a brilliant blow to see if the magic power had increased.
"Uh-huh... Something's not coming."
"No, why are you so dissatisfied with me while I keep my magic in full swing? From Atashi's point of view, it was powerful enough, right?
"Right. The more the cute boys turned their hot gaze on me, the more powerful I was. So jealous..."
"I think Lena's jealousy means something else"
The usual threesome party of women, including Illis, was at an abandoned pit site in the village of Arhan, where she had been asked to examine the types of monsters.
This abandoned pit used to mine ore, but the increased number of demons that inhabited it prevented mine workers from moving forward and closing it, making it now a mining site only worth the mercenaries collecting weapons' materials.
When I came with Zeros before, I noticed that this pit was dungeoned, and it was they who reported it to the Mercenary Alliance.
Because of its merits, for some reason, this is how occasionally requests for investigations turn around.
It sounds good to say you've earned the Alliance's trust, but the truth is it's a headcount factor coming from a shortage of manpower, a chore sent as investigators to a troublesome place in a wide abandoned pit.
Still, the reward was good, so the three of them had taken it on without complaining.
"Those guys...... why are you coming after the Atashi?
"Isn't that because Mr. Lena is looking for you? Some kids know that, don't they? You mean all of them?
"Right. There's one, but there's all the kids I don't know. Maybe you're tailing us to make a map. And it seems to depend on my allowance, but I'm not gonna do it more than three times with the same kid."
"" What?
Of course, it's Nani.
That's a horn, too, and I don't mind the six boys following me, but to be honest, it's out of the way for the three of us.
Dungeons can suddenly appear high level monsters, which is a dangerous place for the less experienced rushing boys.
The task of mercenaries, where self-responsibility is normal, cannot be held accountable even if they inadvertently step into a danger zone and die. It is also a harsh profession in which newcomers lose their lives at least every year.
Well, this is a dungeon. I don't know where the danger is lurking.
"[Trapsearch] …. Oh, there's a shooter at the right end. Let's follow the left wall."
"It would be nice to have Illis, wouldn't it? But watch out for the magic residue."
"You're gonna be okay. Iris is trained by those cocksuckers, and he won't get behind the half-breed monster."
"Compared to that cock, a monster in the upper dungeon hierarchy is a cluttered fish.... Cockos, you're usually crazy, aren't you? Whatever you think, you're evolving into another species, right? When my uncle was away, he was walking around with a big lizard neck."
"" What? That's my first ear. Where have you been hunting more than that!?
Training with the church's hungry homeless children, Illis has seen the Wookays defeat monsters from somewhere and bring loot several times.
Even if I don't see it for a day, I'll be there the next day, so they think I'm hunting nearby, but the Iris don't know where lizards live with more than a metre of head alone.
The scope of action was mysterious.
"As, well, as a hold on that mysterious creature thing... We still don't know what kind of demons are out there. Be very careful, both of you."
"I know. Journey is worrying."
"The general structure is no different from the previous pits, but we're not going to be caught off guard because it looks like an expanded location up ahead."
"What more do they do than that? Even though it's dangerous just to be near Lena..."
"Excuse me. I'd choose a place to get laid, too. But the dungeon is thrilling and for once or so..."
"Mr. Lena!? You can't play outdoors, the guards will catch you!
I can't help but think that Lena, who is serious about going out in the open to act, seems dangerous to Illis. If it's a habit, I'm a complete lunatic.
But even now, Lena has something called moderation. I could not be trusted in terms of sexuality, but I wanted to believe that I was one of them.
"Let's go discreetly."
Journey will be the leader in these explorations.
Normally, parties just for women are often basically underpowered, but the Journeys are not weak enough to struggle in the upper echelons.
Journey has a high ability to overwhelm enemies and accidentally defeat them, Lena is a versatile, record-keeper who performs avant-garde and middle guards, and Illis is balanced by magical cover attacks and trap discoveries.
Regardless, with more manpower, exploration would be that much easier, but dungeons and the like have a lot of narrow spaces, and in some cases the number of members is a disadvantage.
I guess new companions will inevitably also become women, especially since they are not willing to include men as members, but they will not be easy to find, for example, women's powerful men close to these three.
The Iris and the others valued being mild.
"Is that it? Something... you're growing grass"
"This is a pit. Something's wrong."
"Could it be a space-type field dungeon? I'm talking about the vast forest stretching underground in the big dungeons, and it's no surprise that Arkhan's abandoned pit dungeons have changed to those of its hands."
The dungeon is a vast field. Everything is a monolithic demon, preparing food in the body and waiting for prey to hang.
Two main types exist, the type that first produces meadows and the like and calls for herbivores, eventually causing the ecosystem to be built by the addition of carnivores, and the type that summons and increases demons and fishes humans with weapons and materials that have degenerated them.
Either way, it's the same in terms of eating the life of an organism, but when it comes to creating vast fields in the subspace, this dungeon is likely on a considerable scale.
"You'll be able to collect herbs."
"But it's going to be a more dangerous dungeon than that. I have no idea how far this dungeon has been expanded at the moment."
"Considering it's still changing, there's a chance that the maps I've made so far will make no sense. Now, what's going on up ahead?"
Ahead of the three of them proceeded, meadows were spreading to the underground world.
The ceilings are bright as if during the day, and everywhere there are places where forests are born.
A monster of decoration was already inhabited, and a carnivorous demon was running around with sharp fangs aimed at that demon. It is a tiger-shaped demon and is called [Serveroy].
Fangs, furs, etc. are treasured but fierce anyway, and rushing mercenaries can run into each other unluckily and not return, a monster to watch out for in the meadows and woods.
"Wow... no matter what you think, this size is strange. What's going on with the dungeon?
"We're talking about creating a special area in a tiny space, right? I don't know the details."
"How big is it? More dangerous than that."
Lena looks behind the cavity that came out and squeals.
In the shadow of a slightly curved rock, there were juvenile mercenaries who still thought they had not been found.
It is dangerous to go any further, so we should warn them in their position. This is the duty of the mercenaries registered to the Alliance.
If you still don't pull it off, it's your own fault.
"You guys, I know you're coming after me! You're not hiding. Come out!
When Journe screams, 'Gee, they were finding me!? I hear voices like' or 'That's why I told you not to,' and eventually I show up from the shadow of the rock dissatisfied with whether I've noticed it or not.
"Let's talk about using others, making maps easier, I'll leave that to later. You guys don't go any further. I can't guarantee my life from here on out."
"It's nothing good. You're a jerk."
"You mean if you have a lot of people, you'll have more fighting power, right? I think it's safer for the three of us to move on."
"Lena, we're with you..."
Young hence the outrage, the rushing boys were only mindful of being handled, and were quite annoyed by the fact that they were going home alive.
Indeed, the Journeys are three women. But I have a lot of strength.
Trouble is, the boys don't seem to think that they are clutched together.
From the Journey and the others, the dungeon is not as sweet a place as being taken care of by these boys. To be clear, it's annoying, but I didn't go to abandon it.
"I don't know... Atashi and the others are here to investigate the Alliance. I don't mind coming on my own, but being attacked by a strong demon won't help you, will it? Mercenaries act at everyone's own risk. You're on your own to die without taking advice, and you can do whatever you want. Just say it again. If you just want to make things easier, just go home. It's annoying to die on your own and be held accountable for them."
"Why not! You have as many kids there as we do."
"I'm working out, and the rank is a C-rank higher than yours, right? If you're a beginner, it's f or e, right? I have different strengths?
"What. If you're close to C-rank, we can fix it."
The boys were watching Iris sweetly.
On the contrary, I just think I'm even licking mercenary work.
"Hey...... There's a bull with a big horn coming this way, right?
"" Huh?
A big bull walking all he can while setting up earthen smoke.
Destroyer in the meadow, it was [Great Horn Buffalo].
"Yay! I think I can eat meat for a while."
"You got a good souvenir for Lou's guy."
"Could it have been a bowl of beef that Mr. Zeros had ever made? You're going to get eaten again."
The three of them who make a little face at the old man's house behind the church occasionally dine with Zeros.
Well, there's a lot of uncertainty about what ingredients Zeros uses in his dishes, but Lena remembered because the beef bowl was usually delicious.
"All right, a must-win ahead! Red lightning!!
Illis took the lead.
Magic called [Lightning Flame] to be exact, but Illis releases a half-plasma flame towards the Great Horn Buffalo, like a cartoon protagonist.
A dirt smoke erupted from a direct hit and explosion and impact.
"Yeah, here's the thing ♡ This is the way to activate the magic that comes to mind, isn't it?"
"Hey, Iris... that cow, he's alive, right? Besides, I'm just slowing down, and you're going to stick me in this way?
"What, seriously? Fine, I really let it go..."
"It's Atashi's turn from here. Ahhhhhhhh!!
Journey runs out as he pulls out his sword toward the unstoppable Great Horn Buffalo. A giant horn would not be an injury if it was just plundered.
However, Jahne set up a fierce interception, wrapping his magic around his favorite sword and waving it around the corner.
Normally, it's suicide, but destroying horns, crusts, etc. that are demonic weapons is one of the usual means. She just imitated it, too.
The Great Sword of the Journey is a weapon fortified by Zeros, whose strength is comparable to that of a masterpiece. No, maybe more than that.
Huge horns and swords collide.
"Vagina aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Desperately withstanding the shock, Journey, in the mood, swung through the Great Sword with all his might, slapping and slashing the corner of the Great Horn Buffalo brilliantly.
Whether one corner of the head is gone and the center of gravity can no longer be taken, Great Horn Buffalo glances, and at the same time the thrust drops all at once.
"Bumooooooooooooooooo!!
"Let them get away with it!!
"Leave it to me!
Lena, who has been following Journey, approaches the Great Horn Buffalo in an attempt to get her attitude in order to pierce the dagger.
This dagger is painted with instant paralysis poison, a classic attack commonly used to seal the movements of large demons.
"I won't let you get away with it. [Gaillance]"
Further down, the Illis Magic Gaillance is activated, penetrating deeply into the belly of the Great Horn Buffalo.
A giant bull demon made a screaming noise.
"Now Todome!!
Shake it big and slash Great Horn Buffalo's head off with a big sword.
"You're done. Do you want to dismantle it?"
"We need to process it quickly before it is absorbed by the dungeon...... At times like this, dungeons are a hassle. I can't even slowly dismantle it."
"There's a time limit. Still, we've grown stronger. You couldn't have defeated me before, could you?
"Right. I can also expect demon stones because I'm a big guy. I'm looking forward to seeing how much it'll cost if I sell it."
A women's party that begins to dismantle the bull as a delight.
Iris, who grew up in different worlds, now seems completely used to the demolition work.
"What do you do with your head? I wonder if you would have used your brain to tann your skin..."
"What, can I eat it? I think I heard that cow brains are delicious."
"It's like my old man said that before..."
Depending on the demon, there are also species that can be used up without excess material.
Especially bovine demons, horns are used as weapons, skins are used for various protective equipment and skin products, and meat is eaten as edible. Bones and the like can also be used for soup stock removal, fertilizers and protective equipment.
Well, few mercenaries use protective equipment made up of bones -.
These three were totally successful.
"Well...... You guys watching there, are you still willing to go ahead even after what you saw earlier?
…………
As he continues to dismantle, Jahne speaks to as many boys as he did earlier.
Looks like they came back again after escaping once, but they couldn't answer Journe's question. Because no matter what you think, you've found that all that's ahead is suicide.
"... I'll stop. We can't go anywhere from here."
"That's wise. The mercenary profession is dying from a brave man? The cowardly, cautious and well-guided can rise to a high rank. You've learned a lot, haven't you?
"... Hi"
"Ah...... Mr. Lena. I knew it was a goddess. Me, me..."
"You don't have enough levels... to work out."
"Don't die like this."
"That's why I told you I couldn't."
The boys' sweet thoughts blew brilliantly when they saw the strength of a light defeat of the meadow Destroyer.
If we go any further, a demon equivalent to the Great Horn Buffalo may emerge, and where we arrived after the Journeys, the foot clumps are certain, and if we force ourselves to proceed or a strong demon appears, we will not escape ourselves.
I tried to create a map using my little cunning hands, but I finally realized I was stepping into a danger zone, and the boys were pale.
If the Journeys hadn't noticed themselves, they wouldn't have been advised, and they could have stepped into this vast, different space and died.
"We still have an investigation, so we're moving on, but you guys are going back, right? It's a business with a high mortality rate for young people, isn't it?
"Ok...... I'm sorry, I didn't think you were that strong."
"Well, you look like you're close, and you can't help but think by your own standards. But you better remember there's an exception to everything."
"From now on, I shall be careful. Then we'll go back. Sorry to interrupt."
The boys went back the way they came.
"The roots were honest."
"Except for the little cunning and the clever. I'm glad there wasn't an accident."
"More than that, Iris, I'd like you to serve the meat in the inventory. If the dungeon digested you, you'd lose a lot?
"Oops, I was"
We just recovered today's harvest and the three of us began our exploration again to investigate.
Avoid fighting demons as much as possible, mapping them firmly, while keeping track of demons not seen in previous dungeons.
The ecosystem had completely changed, and various demons could be confirmed.
If I give you an example, there are more species living in the woods such as the Oak and Goblin classics and the giant Snake Venom Viper and the Big Cobolt.
Some insect types such as spiders and ants, but it was surprising that there were even demons living in cold areas such as Coldworm and Ice Roper.
"This is going to change into a hierarchical type, isn't it? I've heard stories of dungeons changing, but it makes me a little nervous when they're so massive. Afraid after the change."
"Oh? You think Jahne's scared, too. I thought you'd be happy to have an affordable hunting ground."
"There's also the risk of a runoff (stampede). The bigger the dungeon, the harder it becomes to manage."
"If that happens, it's the surrounding villages and the city of Santore that will be the first to be harmed. I'm sure Mr. Zeros will be fine."
"Why does that old man's name come out here?
Of course, it was because we took the previous Arhan abandoned pit to the lowest level and lived brilliantly.
Lena thought she could handle a demonic outburst, even if it happened, because the story meant she used massive magic.
Most importantly, if that happens, the damage outside the city is likely to be terrible...
"Uh-huh... I've been investigating this far, but I don't see any deposits."
"That's certainly a problem, too. If you find a deposit in the labyrinth, you'll get a mining request from an artisan, and many mercenaries will come here. The village of Arhan will also develop."
"You can't do this until the investigation is over. I wonder how far it's gotten."
"I also feel it would be quicker to ask my uncle?
Mercenaries are a non-profit profession.
Especially with heavy weapon wear and tear, repairs alone make most of the money fly away.
Even if you take care of it with care, if you use it more than once, it will age invisibly, and all of it will be damaged.
It is normal to seek a good weapon because it is life-threatening, but now only iron can be mined because the deposits at heart had completely disappeared from the area where they previously existed.
Looking for deposits of rare metals such as misrills, if possible, was also included in the request.
"Sure, I think it's quicker for that old man to investigate, but you think he'll do it?
"That's right. You're basically the only person who does what you want, so I wouldn't take an Alliance request if I didn't feel so good about it.
"Ahhh... But maybe you can take it on, huh? 'Cause I think he likes to modify weapons and stuff."
Zeros demonizes existing weapons to the extreme.
The lighter the footwork the more you go out on your own without the ore, the easier it is likely to be to find it as easy as a deposit.
Such a Zeros handled weapon - the Great Sword of the Journey is also a breaking performance, but something in particular about the Iris equipment is an out-of-digit performance.
And the trouble is, Zeros' weapons were attractive enough for the poor quality to target.
"Regardless of the story of the deposits, I think the weapons my uncle made would be deluded if they looked normal."
"Iris...... that's too optimistic. If you witness what you're using, you'll be targeted."
"Mercenaries are quite a goal, aren't they? Iris' gear is a bit arry, so nobody just goes for it"
"Ugh...... Sure it looks fancy and stands out, but this just has problems with the original design..."
"Mr. Zeros remodeled it and made it pretty cute, didn't he? Do you love fancy things at that age?
"You don't know that old man well, either."
While we talk, the three of us move on to the back.
And we finally made it through Meadow Field to the valley of the protrusion.
"… valley. Is this going to go down there?
"I don't think it's the underground world. I can't believe this many gorges... are going crazy"
"Well, because that's the dungeon. If I cared, I wouldn't have it."
"" … Illis succeeds ""
It wasn't all that surprising to Iris, who was used to the dungeon of [Sword and Sausalis].
However, Jahne and Lena are not immune to the different spaces of this is a full-scale dungeon search and an incomprehensible phenomenon itself.
Sometimes it seems unacceptable even if you understand it with your head because it really compares to the earthly world. Especially if it's underground, but the ceiling is bright, and then the night comes.
I don't know what principles work, I'm really anxious and my spirit is prone to wear out. There is resistance to heterogeneous beings.
"Yeah, yeah, this is the adventure! This is what you wanted to do."
"Why the high tension?
"You don't get this place in Illis, do you? Mr. Zeros has similarities, and sometimes I wonder if he's broken somewhere."
"Cool!?
Plants also grow on rocky skin in the valley, with roots stretched across the shore connected like bridges in some places. There were demons flying in search of prey.
Bird-shaped demons prey on giant insects and rarely even see Wyvern in search of their bird-shaped and other demons. The ecosystem had been built by the time it was perfect.
"Looks like we can cross over from here."
"I don't know what kind of demon it is, but bird shapes are a pain in the ass."
"If you get attacked on the way over there, there's no way to fight it."
It passes from the cliff to the opposite rock shelf, passing on the claws and roots, but if the demons that can fly attack it, there is not a single clump. The three cautioned but grabbed the gauntlet and carefully crossed the swinging scaffold.
I stumbled upon the cave as I continued down the rock shelf that was going to scaffold, and noticed a tall sound coming from the back, twenty minutes to go back while lighting the potatoes.
"This sound...... someone mining?
"In a place like this? This is an untouched area. No way, you're breaking in without reporting to the guild?
"Maybe it's another investigative team, right? I don't think we can abandon the possibility that we've reached this point from another route..."
Since the abandoned pit was confirmed to be a dungeon, roads have been blocked by Mercenary Guild officials except in the area where the investigation was completed. I hope it's another investigative team, but it could be breaking in without permission.
A mercenary's entry into a location deemed dangerous would be a violation of the terms and conditions beyond being registered with the Alliance. Still, it would be better if you were to report information on an intruded, untouched exploration area, but there's no way a bastard mercenary would be more obliged to report it than he was.
There was a good chance they would attack us for fear of severe punishment.
"Which one do you think?
"Investigation team or unauthorized intrusion...... Well, if it's the latter, in the case of the first offender, it's just strict attention."
"Let's see how it goes and decide what to do. We don't know how many of them there are. Is it dangerous to step in under the circumstances? Be careful here..."
Even pay attention to one footstep, and the three proceed cautiously to the back.
The end of the cave was open and the remaining trolleys and rails were left intact when it was an action. The sound of mining can be heard from beyond.
The three approach each other in hiding, slowly putting their faces out of the shadow of a trolley that is rolling over.
Whoever the three saw there...
"Wahahahahahahahaha"
- It was an old man I had seen somewhere, waving and mining his crane mouth at a rate like an idiot in a superior mood.
"" "" Why are you here!?
The moment the tsuruhashi was struck by the deposits once and the sound was heard, the tsuruhashi had been struck several times without getting in between hairs. It is so strange that the rock walls have not been crushed.
"Hey, old man! This place is sealed off. Why are you here!!
"Ooh ya? Isn't that Mr. Journey? Thank you for your time."
"I'm not a hard worker! You're not breaking and entering a place that's forbidden by the Alliance with an unfamiliar face. That's annoying."
"No entry? Sealed... Was it? It was easy to get here..."
"" "Easy? How..." "
"I went down to the bottom level with a pit shooter, just like before, and it just came up from the bottom? The iron was my goal, but I've gone far."
The Journeys held their heads.
Pitfalls previously used by Zeros to rescue Christine. It was a blind spot that the trap was still left behind and could go down from the shallow hierarchy to the bottom.
Even if Mercenary Alliance officials are on the lookout for this, they will easily allow entry to the lower levels.
"That's what caused the occasional disappearance. We totally forgot."
"... report to the Alliance."
"He said he was here to mine iron, but uncle, are you making something again?
"After you make it. When I made a golem incorporating a gun and a deformation mechanism, I didn't run out of iron. It's hard to get to the kingdom of Isalas, and I've come this far to secure it in the near field. It's time for me to go home."
Iris said, 'Golem with deformation mechanism? Uncle, that's a robot, isn't it? I thought more about guns than that...' but I didn't ask any more.
My instincts made me feel bad.
This old man is a hobbyist and it's not surprising that he made something noisy with momentum depending on his mood. Because you are one of the [exterminators].
The anecdote of that hand is in fact indispensable.
"Tell me more about what neighborhoods are up ahead, if you like"
"Mm-hmm... I'm not really impressed with you because you've gone about it appropriately, even if they tell me more. Was it a burning lava zone? Something long torso demons like snakes were swimming in the ground and lava. It was huge. Flame braces were powerful."
"Anything else? It's our job to find out what's going on in the dungeon."
"I've only seen an area full of crystals and a southern-style jungle area ~. It was so cold in vain and a big mosquito flew in and depressing. A demon like a pink gorilla just threw shit at me...... I wish the insect type had been shot down with farts."
"That, what hunter game?
The abandoned pit dungeons became more vast than expected, and Iris realized that we had a heavy load to explore any further.
Though to accomplish the request, I can't imitate like Zeros falling back to the lowest level again. Before the level said this, the difference in strength with the old man was too far off.
Assuming they told me to do the same thing, I would say no first. It's like going to give up your life for nothing.
"Do you want to go home... It seems impossible for Atashi and the others to move on."
"Right. I've wasted my life too."
"What about your uncle? You're still gonna keep mining?
"That's right... It's a good place to cut it, and you want me to keep it around here? You've got a lot of ingots, and you're gonna have them for a while."
"" Another day trip? ""
The Iris then reported to the mercenary guild outpost before spending the night in the village of Arhan before returning to the city of Santore.
After returning to church, the three people who were curious about what the old man was making said that if they peeked at the Zeros house on a curiosity basis, they would have been researching pork bone soup.
He is truly a man who does not know what he is thinking.
