Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)

In the King's Office in the early morning, the meeting of the Quadruple is held as shown by example. It was the Chancellor who cut the fire.

"We have received a report from an investigative team sent in response to a request from Morvania"

"Are they from outside the dungeoned mine?"

General Rover listens back with half a body of interest and indifference.

"Sure... I remember the purpose was to ask your opinion on the state of pollution of arsenic frost (yes)?

"Mm-hmm. The analysis itself seems to have done well for Molvania..."

"... what was the problem?

"There's a lack of knowledge of dungeon magic and monsters."

General Rover gives the appearance that the Prime Minister's explanation made a point, but at the same time I notice something strange.

"Ha?... If that's the problem, wouldn't it be quicker to contact the Adventurer Guild?

There are problems sending adventurers, civilians, to places where virtual enemies are staring at each other across an unfinished border.

"At the same time, is this an appeal to Theodoram that the country called Molvania take the lead in dealing with it?"

"Sir Warren is right in front of you."

"It's been a long time... So what's the outcome?

"Hmm... I have trouble deciding what to think. I want to borrow your Lord's wisdom."

The two military men who heard the Prime Minister lean their necks. I'm sure the place is slightly swordswallowed, but if I say so, it's just an investigation into the pollution of arsenic frost (yes). What are the consequences of difficulties in interpretation?

To the two subtly bewildered expressions, the Prime Minister first communicates the results of the investigation by Morvania.

① Few arsenic frosts (yes) have been detected from the soil and water in the Morvanian army garrison.

② In spite of the fact that the old stock shrub (Kanbo) was investigated, there were indeed traces of contamination caused by arsenic (hi) frost (yes).

③ The concentration of arsenic frost (yes) in the groundwater is so low that it is close to the border that it is higher as it moves away from the Shrek rather than from the border.

④ The concentration of arsenic frost (yes) dropped as fast as it was close to Shrek.

⑤ It is believed that a decrease in the concentration of arsenic frost (yes) occurred in the vicinity of the Morvanian military garrison within approximately six months.

"... and so on."

"... it looks like Shrek's dungeon has sucked away the poison from the arsenic frost."

"That's what it looks like at first glance. By the way..."

Speaking out loud, the Prime Minister communicates the findings of a fact-finding team from the College sent by Illustria.

⑥ No trace of magic in the soil and groundwater of the Morvanian military garrison and the excavation wells near the border.

"... how do you do that?

If the dungeon, or the Dungeon Master, had seized the arsenic frost (yes), he would have naturally used magic. Yet there is no trace of exercising magic. It is the view of the College that contamination by arsenic frost (yes) cannot be considered to disappear naturally in such a short period of time, so that some method - but not magic - has removed the poison of arsenic frost (yes) - or harvested (...) -.

What method did you use? And why did you do that?

"Did you create a mechanism to filter only arsenic frost (yes), or did you use a monster that selectively captures arsenic frost (yes)... but it seems possible above reason..."

"The question is, why did you do that?"

"Wasn't it just a pain in the ass?

General Rover poking at the core with Zubali.

"Yeah. But why did it stink? Associated with that answer, why is the poison of arsenic frost purified from the dungeon of Shrek to a remote position?"

"… the aim was to collect arsenic frost (yes) not only from the periphery of the dungeon, but also from a wide area. I therefore hated the hassle involved in the task.... Is that what Sir Warren wants to say?

"On a personal note."

Here the king enters into conversation.

"Then why did you do such a thing as collect arsenic frost (yes) from so wide a range? What does Lord Warren think?

"It's just a personal look...... there are two possible explanations. The first required so much arsenic frost."

To Sir Warren's words, the temperature in the office cools at once.

"... you're telling me you're planning a massive poison fight, Warren."

"I'm just saying it's possible to interpret it that way. It doesn't seem consistent with the policy of the last time we talked about it - avoiding direct confrontation and twitching and cutting national power. As some kind of insurance, maybe we're going to increase the number of tactical options that we can pick up."

"... what is the second interpretation? Sir Warren."

There is no power in the voice of Prime Minister Neru.

"This one will be an interpretation of the back table just now. Instead of requiring massive amounts of arsenic frost, we needed vast tracts of land, not contaminated with arsenic frost poison."

Correct. But this way of thinking seemed unexpected to the other three, all of whom did not hide their pokaneous expressions.

"... but why would he do that again?

For Crowe, a modern Japanese who has survived the pollution problem, removing it if contaminated is like a second nature, but it was difficult for the inhabitants of this world to understand.

So this kind of interpretation pops up.

"You must be thinking about operating a monster that is not resistant to arsenic frost. If you purify the area around the dungeon, it will increase the range of monsters you can use."

The gap between modern Japan and illustration, between the two worlds, was huge.
