Hisshou Dungeon Unei Houhou
1069 Moat: It's a problem, but I can't solve it.
It's a problem, but it can't be a problem.
Side: Yuki
"Emergency Commercial Zone Fountain Dungeon Core Theft"
I was surprised when I heard the call.
I didn't expect anyone to take on the dungeon core necessary to run Weed's lifeline.
No, because I thought I was here, there are multiple dungeon cores that we need to run Weed to complement each other...
"Yuki. The police station contacted me. It seems to be caused by a woman touching and pushing her core while playing in the water."
In Tori's words, I knew the situation had converged quickly...
It's not an easy substitute to touch.
Probably on purpose.
You're an idiot who knows the value of the core.
Or did you come here to steal Weed's power source, asshole?
Anyway, the core of the fountain was originally a garden for that purpose.
The truth is that the purpose of theft was to react faster than I thought.
People who live in or have used Weave know that the facility won't work without a core, so they don't miss the guy who takes care of the lifeline.
If you suck, it's no wonder they killed you with a quick lynch.
In that sense, the guy who reached out to the core must have been lucky.
Or do people who don't know what the core means come to Weed?
It should have been explained in advance as an important matter.
Even if you don't succeed, you'll get quite a fine for a felony.
When you think about it, it makes sense that you came all the way here to get it.
And thinking about it, it seems that Riel's subordinates have also contacted her....
"Yeah, I got the same testimony. But that woman... looks like a princess in trouble with the water we were talking about.
Continuing, Riel and I, Ratz and Ellis felt like they were putting one hand on their face.
"Certainly, from her point of view, the core from which the water springs out was quite fascinating. And the princess?"
"Yes, I'm being escorted to the police station for now. The person who was escorting the princess said she was unconscious and didn't feel malicious."
"... you're so chopped up. In the meantime, may I leave it up to you?
Well, I'm in charge. I don't want to be a problem. "
"Now if I tell Rochelle badly, small countries won't be exempt from sanctions."
"You fell at the end of the day. Nevertheless, I can't think of a solution right away... Let's hear from the princess for now. We need to get in touch with the diplomat we came to see."
Perhaps the man in charge of diplomacy who met with me has a pale face.
The princess's actions have pinched the country, even though she has come in search of stability.
That's why I remembered what happened to the guards...
"Surprisingly, she seemed like a smart princess. Was that unexpected?
"I wonder. The status was better, but this time it could be related to the survival of the country...."
"If the solution is rolling at that time, you'd want to reach out."
"Oh? It's unusual for you to be good, isn't it? Is she that princess?
"Well, I didn't say the level was Cellaria, but it was still a level that drew the army, and I had a whole range of skills. In addition to military command and combat skills, there were also study, archaeology and magic skills, which were all-purpose. That's it. Aria, you remind me of your sister."
"Heh. It looks like that empty Arya sister... That's good, kid."
Ah, Cellaria is targeting the prey.
"Well, I'm not going to pull you in because of this breakdown."
"Why? Wouldn't that be a big deal? Weed saves the small country and gets a princess in return. I don't think so.
"If you take it, you won't be able to kill yourself. Above all, it's going to be more trouble. I can't help anyone else."
"I understand that, but it's a project that will come out in the future. I don't think it's a mistake to accept what we're going to do."
"Sure."
It would be a mistake to accept it once and see the movements around it.
If that's what small countries do all the time, they'll be certified as a bunch of idiots.
But then I'll accept the princess in question.
That's basically troublesome. So let me tell you right here.
"But he's here for the country. They don't want to push and suck sweet juice. Speaking of which, do you understand?
Oh, I'm convinced.
Yes, we're not here to negotiate because we value our connections.
I came here to save my country.
Well, I wouldn't hesitate to give myself up because it's for the sake of my country...
It's not a monster that gets excited when it's gone.
"You won't hesitate to move when things happen in your country. Just like I was."
"You know very well. That's why we can't deal with it half alive. Turning them into enemies can only cause trouble. I understand your desire to bring in our people, but it's all settled. If you smell something like that, it won't come any closer."
"I understand. Everyone who saw me as a woman made me feel good."
I don't think so.
Above all, please don't talk stupid about me adding more wives.
It's getting tough counting how many people there are.
It's really hard just to be more responsible.
No, my daughters are cute. That's all.
"Besides, this time, we're tailoring the princesses who were already visiting as our own investigators in small countries. Enough as a result."
Long live budget cuts and human resources in your own country.
"Sure. We will also continue to investigate areas that are beyond our reach. Too bad. Isn't she cute?
"You know what I'm saying. The Cellarians are all I need. And, as a normal interaction. Mr. Zargis, is there any way we can solve this water shortage? Without using the core."
"I think I can use a different core. According to the story, every country is collecting the core from the dungeon and using it for other magic materials, and there is nothing wrong with using it normally?
"That's right. I think that's fine, too. The question is, where do you procure magic enough to supply water?"
"No, we can't both use the core. Countries now know we're using dungeons to spread our power. Using a core means you could create a dungeon. Whatever we do, we can't absolve ourselves of such doubt. That's why we need to prepare it separately."
If you put the core down, you can surely replace it, and it's not too much work.
But it's a well-known fact that we're using dungeons.
Having a core makes no difference to having a base.
"I see. That's what they say."
"You're going to complain later. Well, if it's enough to supply water...."
"Then I can propose."
Comet came into the conversation.
Oh, speaking of which, Comet was a dungeon master, but he was a technician.
"I had a hard time letting the subordinates escape to White Forest, too. The location is a snow-enclosed land in the north. Fire is important, but it was hard to get drinking water."
"Sure. If you melt the snow, you'll get water, but that's not easy."
"That's right. We need materials and fuel to make a fire. But you can't cut down a tree in such a snowy mountain and turn it into firewood. If you do that, you'll be on your feet soon."
Comet's right. The hardest thing in the snowy mountains is to get drinking water before food.
I think it would be nice to eat snow, but it is a suicide act that lowers your body temperature.
Even if you live, you can't live without the water freezing.
The first challenge is how to secure water in the world below freezing point.
"Now, think about the tools that Comet can use to make water."
"Okay. I expect a reward, too.
"If there's anything I can get you."
Comet would love a new game the most.
Anyway, there will be no problem with how to manage the water with this.
As a last resort, there's a rough trade of magic.
If you build a dam and accumulate water, it will be finished around this year.
Then it depends on the situation.
If it doesn't rain this year, it will be desperate as a land.
"All right, get ready. In the meantime, we'll meet the princess. So, Cellaria, this time...."
"Yes, we can deal with it as an accident. If it was stolen, it was an attempt, and I didn't intend to steal it. I'd rather deal with it in an accident because it affects Onee-sama's reputation than making small countries worse."
"It's completely personal."
"It's okay. Isn't that what it looks like? And no one wants confusion. Too clean. Correct is poison."
I see. That's what people are. Then I'll go. "
What's wrong with taking care of your family?
Above all, if it does not rise from the waves, it has never crossed.
So we come to the police station where the princess is waiting.
"Ah, Yuki. And Deputy Director Tori, Special Agent Riel, Deputy Representative Ratz, Deputy Representative Ellis."
Commissioner Pawney, who was in the lobby, welcomed us when we arrived.
"What's going on?
"What's the matter? Even though it's a small country, the princess is brought here as an important witness. As for us, I didn't feel like it until Yuki and the others came."
"Oh, that's right. So, what about her?
"For now, they're waiting in the reception room."
Interface. I knew it would be like that. "
"I will. Arrest is an international problem. I mean, it's hard for us to apologize."
"Do you understand that the person in question did something wrong? Okay, I'll see you later."
Well, I don't know how to talk to that princess...
I was worried about how to talk while I was on my way to the dock.
