I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
Episode 244 Prisoner of War
"Did you capture the metastasizer?"
One of the lieutenants reported it to Reichstag General Randy's Galley, who had finished a long banquet and was heading to his room.
"Yes, I think I caught a trap."
There is a trap around the royal castle that only works on metastasis magic, and only some people know about it.It's because when it comes to light, it doesn't work as a trap, and it's hard for others to know how to make a trap that prevents metastasis.
You're not an elf, are you?
If it were Elves, he would have sent Wilfred.You have to let go.Yes, the commander thought.
"I was a human man, but I didn't know who I was."
Tell me more.
"I was a civilian, but it was a brand new piece of tailored clothing.He wore a clasp underneath and had a dagger hidden under him.Aren't they about twenty years old?There was a sword octopus in my hand, and it was a forged wind there. "
"I doubt it. Did you try to break into the royal castle?"
Even though he is a wizard enough to master transfer magic, he also trains his sword.I don't have to, but it's very difficult to use both at 20 years of age.
"Maybe. I interrogated him lightly, but he didn't try to say anything, so now I'm wearing a magic seal collar and sleeping with medicine."
"Keep him asleep. The interrogation is tomorrow."
You may have to interrogate immediately, but you will need to make a difficult decision.Not after drinking to take a shower at a banquet, so the Commander decided to put the process behind him.
But at this time, you're a metastasizer.Maybe he's the one who sent Wilfred.But I didn't try to say anything.Besides, the crime of trespassing on the royal castle is serious.
Wilfred told me about the adventure during the banquet, but for some reason there was no story of a brave man.A man who taught Wilfred the sword and magic and raised his arms to the disciples of Kensei.Masal Yamanos, a brave man who was simply mentioned as the leader of the party.When I moved on to Hiragis, I stopped talking to Elves and didn't talk at all.
It was convenient for the Commander, but are you trying to hide the Hero?
I wanted more information, but I can't talk to Wilfred about this.For the same reason, General Eldo, who knows the brave, is no good next.Wilfred's people are also Kensei's people.I can't tell how much I can trust you.
He jumped into my hand.Even if you're related to a brave man, it's worth hiding.The more people we can carry, the more valuable the metastasizers are in the Empire.
"Keep an eye out. Don't miss it."
I have it in my hands. You don't have to hurry.

When she woke up, she was handcuffed and shackled, and from there chained to the wall, sleeping on a stone floor.It's a murderous room. There's one in the room, and one a little further away.And there are quite a few people in the range of detection.It looks like this place is underground.
I also remembered before I woke up.Trying to transfer to the Elves... failed?
And when I thought I was in the dark, I felt like I was stunned by some liquid on my face. I don't know why.
"Have you noticed? What's your name? Who is it?"
When I woke up, a soldier called out to me.Never be alarmed.I remembered Will's words unexpectedly.The Empire did something. And you got caught?
Hey, tell me something.
Sati, Miriam, and Master are nowhere.Apparently I'm the only one caught.Or are they separated?
"What's your name?"
He talks to me in silence and asks me again.It's the only one nearby. Escape with a metastasis.No, considering that Sati and the others are captured, I magically disabled them first... I can't use them!?
The collar. Probably the one that seals the magic. You're ready.
But how did you get caught?Why 'd you get caught? If you don't know why, it's dangerous to talk about it in a rough way.
"Where are we?"
"I'm listening! Tell me your name!"
I don't know much about the situation, but at least there's no friendly atmosphere.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Sleep for a while."
Shut up and they smell something, and I let go of my consciousness again.
Next, I woke up with the irritating smell.When I coughed on my chin, I was wondering if it was okay.
"It's just a meds."
That's what you wanted to say, but you asked me.When I looked up, I saw a soldier who put me to sleep and a man in a grand costume.
"Who are you? What's your name?"
He will be interrogated again.
"Where is this place? Who are you?"
As always, it's a chain of hands and feet on the collar, and they don't answer anything.I wondered what was going on and was sniffed some medicine again.
It's an interrogation drug.
Talk to the army about whether he's a good boss or not, with a loud voice that you can't hear without hearing detection.It's the first time I've heard of it, but is it like a confession medicine?
"Wait a little longer until it works"
My head gradually began to blur.I mean, how long has it been?My throat is really dry and I'm hungry.Open the menu to see the time.The next morning I sent Will.You can use the menu.Is it possible to use the item box?
I'm gonna throw out a big rock and crush these guys.
Is the collar magically sealed?
"While I was sleeping, I replaced it with a slave collar."
When I heard that, my boss nodded with satisfaction.Slave collar!? I had to kill him and try to make a big rock appear on both heads... but I couldn't control it.A slave can't hurt his master.
Magic... works. Water the palm of your hand and moisturize your throat.
"Don't use magic!"
An order from a soldier man.Is the owner of the collar this way?I can't use my magic anymore.Either way, the collar of the slave has a non-escape tie set by default.There's nothing I can do with magic.
But this slave collar, you can talk freely.That's why I needed an interrogation pill.
"Slave collars are illegal.Damn, it's the second time.... "
Things that should have just been thought came out of my mouth.Oh, no. Did the interrogation drug work?
"It is not illegal only against criminals.You are under suspicion of trespassing on the castle. "
That's what the soldiers say. Does that mean this is the Imperial Castle?And if you're going to accuse me of wrongdoing, there's no point in saying anything.
Open the menu with an idea.Poison Resistance 10 points. I don't think it's going to work....
"I thought it was time. Please be as brief as possible, as the interrogation medication will be effective for a while."
That's what a soldier man tipped his neck over my strange arm movements told his boss.
"Who are you?"
Try to be patient in answering your manager's questions.
"Bo, adventurer"
But against my will, my mouth answers.I have no idea what the poison resistance effect is.I don't feel like I need to relieve myself a little because I was able to endure it, but does the interrogation drug fall within the scope of poison in the first place?
"Adventurer, are you having a party? What's your name?"
I don't want to answer my name.So I interpreted this as asking the name of the party and answered.
"We're having a party, Samurai."
That's a weird name.
"Normally at home."
What can only be resistant to?I seem to have some control over what I say.Or perhaps the interrogation drug is about that level of performance.
You're a metastasizer, aren't you?How good are you, level five?What is Level 5? Skill level? "
Answer the questions indifferently.
"Levels 1 to 5."
Let's start at level one.
"Level 1 is available in the Item Box.Level 2 is short range metastasis. Level 3 is long-range metastasis.Level 4 can also transfer personnel, level 5 can no longer restrict gate transfer, and can carry 100 people. "
However, it is not unlimited.It was expected that the consumption of magic would increase geometrically from more than 100 people, and if 1000 people, it would increase by about 100 times rather than 10 times of 100 people.If you add too many, your magic efficiency will be extremely poor.
But what they're after is a metastasizer.I don't have any questions about the suspected intrusion into the royal castle.
"Can we transfer 100 people?"
"I can."
The boss seemed a little surprised to hear that.
Are you an elf associate? What's the relationship? "
"Yes, my wife is an elf."
"Did you join Hiragis?Were you carrying elves? "
Yes, yes. Answer honestly.
"Do you know Masal Yamanos?"
"I know."
I'm a little upset by the name suddenly.Sometimes a brave man has a purpose?No, then I wouldn't ask for your name.
Are you close?
"... not good or bad"
Think about it a little and say so. But there is no mention of brave men.They found out about Will, that he had my name on him, and that he didn't even know it.You don't think he's the brave one?
"You tried to break into the royal castle?"
I was just trying to get back inside the elves.
And yet, how did I get caught?
"The direction is correct. Looks like you got caught in a trap."
As usual, he didn't want to give us the information, so he whispered to his boss that he would never hear it without hearing detection.Trap. Is there a trap to catch the metastasizer?Direction... If you follow a straight route from the rear of the castle to the village of Elves, will it be a line passing through part of the castle?
Is it a net that can catch a metastasizer?Nets... nets that interfere with metastasis.
Ore that inhibits magic. A trap made of antimagic metal?
Hmm... my boss seems to be thinking about the information.You know what a grievance is, right? Let me go.
"I want to see metastasis for now."
But the wish is in vain, and the boss says so.Occasionally. I happen to be in a bad luck trap... No, I'm not.There was a sign. I had a strange feeling.It's my fault you didn't check it.Well, it's overwhelmingly worse for these people who happen to have no intention of releasing me from the trap.
When the soldier told me not to use magic without my permission, he took off the chain connecting me.But the handcuffs and shackles remained intact.You seem too careful, but if you try, your boss can attack you.
Let's see if we can transfer them.
Considering the order a little, the soldier opened the door to the room and urged me to follow him. Go out the hallway.
"Can you take me there?"
Point to the edge of the hallway.
"We need to move normally once and set a transfer point"
When I said so, he took me to the end of the hallway and came back.It feels painful to walk in shackles. Resisting here would be pointless, and I began to chant slowly.Aware of the chanting speed of ordinary wizards, it triggered a gate transition.
How's the magic?
My boss asks me that when I walk back.
"It's not going to decrease this much."
So you're satisfied? You're ordered to connect the chains again.
"It's a shame to let go."
The two of them whispered that they couldn't hear me.
Do you want to carve a slave crest?
"Keep it in the dungeon... no, keep it in the tower. Be as polite as possible."
Are you still interested in a metastatic surgeon?Do you intend to continue to enslave me and use me...
"Call Prince Wilfred. I'm his friend."
"You don't have to."
I knew it. Prince, it's useless.
"If you don't let me go, you'll regret it."
"Nobody knows you're here.You wait very long for the treatment to be decided. "
A brave man. How would he react by naming himself a messenger of God?Will you let me go, honestly?Or worse, nothing will be erased.....
You may try to take advantage of being brave without going so far.My head is still unclear because of the medicine.
God help me! Your devout followers are about to be enslaved!
But the thunder of anger never fell on the soldiers or my boss, and I was bagged from head to head and transported like a luggage to the tower and the bastard.
"Don't take a step out of the room.Of course, don't use metastases or magic. "
It looks like a decent prison with toilets.It seems dusty, but the size is quite large.All furniture is in order, and it is equipped with fine furniture.There is a small window out of reach.The iron lattice fits and the fact that cats don't seem to be able to pass creates the only jail-like feeling.
As if the military were going to keep watching me, they dropped their hips on the couch without looking away from me.
"My head hurts...."
"It's a common sequelae of medicine.If you put up with it for half a day, it will heal. "
No, I'm really starting to have a headache.Slip down into bed and round your body.Goddamn it, that's what I see.The Empire will never forgive you again....
"I'm hungry."
I've been rolling in bed for half a day. Yeah, I've been roaring, and my headache has finally healed.I haven't eaten anything for more than a day.And it's hot. If I were an elf, someone would take care of the air conditioning.
Meals have already been prepared.Bread and chilled soup. The soldiers are still watching me.Think horizontally about it.
We can't get out of here. Escape is forbidden with a slave collar and the use of magic is forbidden.The handcuffs and shackles remained intact.There are two surveillance officers outside the room.
We need to get help.Will is the nearest one?Shit. Why am I being caught, not him?
If only I could use my magic.I didn't know I could use a summons, and I think Owl could get out of that little window.But magic is forbidden.The item box... probably works.
Make a big rock appear outside the tower and fall.People will come to see what's going on.Will would know it was my big rock.
You know what? I haven't used a lot of rocks since I brought Will around.If you don't notice, you will be pursuing the possibility of using the item box even though magic is forbidden.
You want me to write a letter and throw it out?I don't know who will pick it up.
While I was eating, my head finally cleared up.
Well, let's try it.
"It's hot."
In addition to direct sunlight in the tower, the outside air only gets extra heat from a small window.Besides, it looks like I'm pretty upstairs.The heat rises from below.
Hang in there.
Can you cool it with magic?
"... try it."
Somewhat thoughtful soldier said.
Can I use magic?
"Never mind, never use metastases."
You did it. You got my magic clearance!Nod in hidden joy and cool the room with a magical cold breeze.Finally, I feel a little more comfortable.
This was the hardest part, but I'm afraid you're alarmed because you're wearing a slave collar.Really, there's nothing I can do with this.
"Do you have a bucket of water or something?Let's make ice. It'll keep you cool. "
Hang on a second.
The soldier stood up and chanted Summon Level 1 in the gap toward the door.It's just for a moment because it's level one.Soldiers who noticed the use of magic saw us, but then activated the chanted Purification.
"Don't do anything you want."
"The room is dusty and dirty."
"I didn't have time to clean up suddenly."
A soldier makes an excuse.I knew it was magical enough.It was bad. But I don't think there's an owl on my back.I was going to deceive you that even if you found out the worst, you'd get lost from the outside.Then we can get out of here.
Keep making ice. Make ice large enough not to fit in the barrel.Drop the ice properly.
"Hey, watch out. The bucket will break."
The soldier succeeded in mounting the owl to the window in a gap distracted by the ice.
"You have as many buckets as you want."
While I was talking, the owl's calf went out through a narrow window with an iron lattice.Where is this place?Fly the owl and check the surroundings with the shared vision.The Imperial Castle. A royal forest in a familiar spire.I am one of those spires.
"Alright, no more magic."
Nod. The Summon Monster... is holding.It takes magic to maintain the Summon Monster, and some lines are connected, but it's hard to say it's magic. Safe!
Are you looking for Will? Don't you know where he is?The Elf Mansion is more secure than that.Will said there was a arena on the other side of the Elf Mansion.Is that the arena? The Mansion sandwiches the imperial castle on the other side.Is this the boulevard you used when you came to the royal castle? Probably.
After a while, it approaches the outskirts of the Imperial Capital and is a familiar shopping district.The Elf Mansion... was there.
I knew what would happen, but now I can call for help.I think I can handle it....
