Isekai Dungeon de RTA

Lesson 23: Unwillful Choice

"Whoa. Don't make up your mind."

That's what I said, but I felt something cold running down my spine.

Did you just say foreign countries? Is that a big story on that scale?

"Unfortunately, this is pretty much a decision. I want you to follow me honestly if possible..."

"Decision? What kind of joke? You guys wouldn't have the art of forcing me to obey, would you?

The face to face man keeps his expression unchanged and his words continue.

"I did intend to make you inactive quickly at first, and then force you to listen to me... but you had more power than I imagined... so I decided to switch to a discussion. That's right. I've just attacked intermediate dungeons by myself. I want you to work in my country."

The moment I open my mouth to say it back, this room sounds like a strange voice.

"Hey, that is........................................................"

"No, it's a joke. Don't be serious about what you decide to do."

"I hope so..."

It's a woman's voice. I thought it was the three men left in the room, and I was a little surprised.

I'm only blind when it comes to where I can see them properly in their faces.

Looking at the style, it's sadly flat, I can't tell if it's because of the gear or if it's originally discreet.

And as far as the current interactions go, aren't they one rock?

Then I want to manage to poke their breakdown from around there and take a conversation initiative.

Honestly, this situation is extremely unpleasant for me.

But the more I think about it, the more unequal the information between them is, the less I feel that I can take the lead.

Do I have to ask as much information as I can for now?

As I continue my conversation, I decide to gather some information.

"You're sorry to work in your country. Besides, you honestly expect me to respond to discussions with someone who's suddenly attacking you?

"Other than that, I didn't mean to kill the first attack... but when it comes to discussing it, I'm sorry, but you're semi-enforced. I need you to follow this."

"As I said earlier, I'll decide if I obey"

"Can I say that if you don't obey, the Elf Country will be in trouble?

"Wha......!?

I say unexpectedly.

No matter what you say, the mind that was about to reject it instantly hurts.

No, there's a chance of a hatchet.

They didn't catch Eliza. I'm also confirming that he moved in with the metastasis.

"If I don't obey, how can the Elf Nation... be in trouble?

I try to calmly inquire back.

I'm going to be pretending to be a poker face myself, but I doubt I can put it into practice.

Knowing my mood or not, the man answers with a slight smile.

"Multiple countries wage war on elf country"

The man's answer was very simple.

But the impact on me was enormous.

War?

Are you kidding me?

I managed to spin my head in full trying to give a reason to deny the other person's words, but then I realized that I was too ignorant in this world.

Does the elf country have the national power to withstand even if it is attacked by more than one country?

How many allies are there to help the elf country?

How many countries are actually likely to wage war and how much power do they have?

The situation and politics in each country.

Even the fundamental question of how many countries there are in this world.

I didn't know anything.

A man speaks even more to me when I can't speak.

"From what I've just seen, you seem quite out of your mind. While talking normally, I can see you thinking about turning the situation upside down just now. That's why you know... you have to obey. If you're close to the princess, even more so..."

When I heard what they said, I was sure.

That what they say is feasible, not haphazard.

Even though he thinks I'm out of my mind, he thinks he'll obey.

They don't even know that I lack a lot of basic knowledge of the world.

In other words, if I refuse, there is no doubt that the Elf Country will suck considerably.

You don't have a choice?

Even if I knew I couldn't do it, I'd ask.

"Can I talk to the elf country once?

"Regardless, I can't allow it. You don't have to tell me why, do you? Whether you obey or refuse to obey, get an instant answer here and now. I want you to assume that if there is any way to escape this scene right now, it will be war."

"What if I refuse?

"Fight, but we'll have to stop... that's not true either. I don't even know if I can win."

Of course, fighting them is the most unlikely option I have. There's no way you can win.

No matter how I think about it, I can't think of a way to get through this situation without risk.

If you reject their suggestion, there's too much for anyone but me to lose.

On the other hand, even if I swallowed their proposal and moved to another country, I should be the only one to lose something.

It's also exquisite, the land I'm starting to get used to and a little relationship or so.

It's tiny enough to be silly to compare, given the possibility that there will be a war and lots of lives gone.

But at the same time, I felt a little sorry for losing the friendship that I was building in the capital and elf country.

The trigger was just meant to be leveling.

But I know that there is no such thing as war and balance.

There's no other way.

"Okay… I'm going to belong to Eleanor's guild… I don't mean to."

"Hmm... I thought you'd answer that."

At least because the fight seems to be avoidable, or the man breathes.

But there's something I'd like you to tell me instead.

"... if you can answer me, let me answer you."

I ask with a serious look.

"…… Do you like breastfeeding?

"……… What?

A man gives a look like a pocan. He doesn't seem to understand what he asked.

But the moment I say breastfeeding, the woman standing behind the man reacts to Pickle.

I knew it.

"It means poor breasts."

"No… I know what that means, but I don't know what the question is intended to mean"

"It's not a question you can't answer anyway, is it? Let me know the answer."

"... I feel fuzzy one way or another..."

"I'm smaller………………"

I would ask the man sitting face to face, but the man standing next to the woman answers with me.

It almost erupted, but I tried not to break my serious expression.

By the way, a woman unnaturally distances herself from the man the moment she says it's better to be small.

And why have you suddenly joined the conversation when you haven't said a word before?

Was that so much of a question for him that he couldn't get through? Everything is a mystery.

I have since repeatedly asked them some questions about my personal preferences.

"I see. That concludes my question."

"... in the end, I had no idea what the question was intended to be, but what did it mean?

"It doesn't mean a lot. It's just a personal interest."

They didn't seem convinced, but I'm sure they thought it wasn't bad information. I didn't pursue it any deeper.

Even for me, the question didn't make much sense.

I don't know.

I am then asked by them about the details of going to Eleanor.

He's just not an idiot, and the lack of information here somewhat restricts his behavior.

For now, Eliza and I are instructed not to meet for a year.

I was suddenly thinking about transferring to Eliza after I broke up with these guys, but it took the form of a nail stab.

I have no desire to follow that instruction.

But only by their word, if Eliza and I meet, they can detect it in some way.

I don't know if it's magic or personnel.

Of course, there's a lot of potential for hacking, but whether it's detectable or a lie, I can't take the back now. It seemed impossible to go to see him immediately.

I said I didn't know what kind of move Eliza was going to make until I got back, but apparently they're going to talk to Eliza.

I asked him how he intended to explain it, but he didn't tell me.

Well, maybe I'm going to think about it now.

Speaking of which, I can't report that Royce asked me to finish everything.

It was done safely, and I don't think there will be any problems.

Apparently their explanation is that I've been under house arrest here for two days, then I fly to Eleanor with a transfer, and they keep an eye on me until I register for my guild. By the way, they can't change their affiliation for a year.

They told me it would be a year before I met Eliza, and a year after they changed to another guild, they were probably going to do something big within a year.

But honestly, I can't deduce anything from the information I have.

Speaking of which, it was a year later when you married Eliza.

What the hell happens to that story?

For two days under house arrest, I kept thinking about all sorts of things that were unanswered.

Two days later, I arrived in Eleanor by transfer.

It was that cautious breasted woman who brought me here with the metastasis.

"That's the guild in the heart of Eleanor. Register now."

I look around.

Is this the center?

Apparently, the word of the bottom candidate for the cutthroat isn't Dada, which reminds me of some country town, even in the center.

But the liveliness around the Alliance is considerable. People are hitting on me. I guess it's because the new system they say has just been issued.

Unwillingly, I get a little back on this matter.

Well, I didn't think this part was a lie in the first place.

Because there's no point in spitting lies.

"Is this the center…… different from the Empire."

"Naturally, right? It's more special over there."

A woman who responds to my soliloquy with discipline.

"I know it's going to take a while because it's crowded, but just go quick. By the way, you can only register and ask for a detailed explanation after tomorrow."

"Why?

"If you decide to ask for an explanation, it's going to be a situational explanation and then a registration process, right?

"I guess so...... I mean, you don't like to wait?

"Discover"

It's extremely unpleasant for me to have been watched forever. I have no choice but to proceed to registration.

When I entered the guild, the reception area was full of people.

I'll take it easy, but I'll be in line for now.

However, because of the excessive number of people, it seems to be done using a fairly simple registration method.

Would it take less than 10 seconds for one person? There is no such thing as an explanation being given.

It seems like the process of just giving me the guild card and registering it and ending it as soon as the card is returned.

The rows are flowing fast and it will be my turn in no time.

"Are you a registered person? Please present your card."

I'll give you the card as instructed.

The card is returned in less than ten seconds.

"Yes, it's over. Thank you for registering. I would ask you to take a briefing on the new system that was issued this time as it will be held sequentially. And the guild cards will be able to see new information tomorrow."

I thank the receptionist and leave the place.

That was easy. Slightly clapped.

I go out and look around.

There were no women already.

He's not here anymore, at what time did he leave?

I had some doubts, but realized that it was pointless to think about it and stopped thinking.

And I start thinking about what's going to happen.

Well, they got to this place while it was being flushed, but what do I have to do now?

Things have changed too much in the last few days, so why don't we sort it out?

You started levelling in the intermediate dungeon first.

There will still be dissatisfaction with the level itself, but the speed will be impeccable because we went to level 9 in just a few days.

Besides, that level increase is too risky. Another way should be explored.

But in this case, I learned my ignorance about this world...

If we're going to attack this world, we're going to need information around it. For the time being, we decide on finding a way to level and on collecting information.

"In the meantime, look for an inn."

I started walking looking for an inn, but stop walking immediately.

If I think about it, I won't be able to change my affiliation for a year. I just have to base around here.

If so, could it be cheaper to borrow it?

Is there a rental system in this world?

Do you think I would buy it? I also feel that the houses in this area seem cheap.

While I'm searching for information around here, I'm looking for a home to live in.

Apparently, there's a realtor-like presence in this world, too, so I decided to go.

When I entered the store, a little fat man appeared who seemed to have a good wingspan. Apparently, this guy is the owner. Quickly, I decide to listen to you.

In conclusion, they say the house can be rented.

But there were many more attractive options than that.

I mean, the house is cheap. Of course the land is set.

If you have five gold coins, you can also get the finest houses and land around here.

I don't know the difference in price from Teito, but isn't this pretty cheap?

I was quite anxious about the situation in this country, but I was quite intrigued that I could have a home.

It's impossible for me to buy a house in the original world right now.

I feel more inclined to buy it, but when I have to, it is the people who develop a lot of greed.

"Which property is the most expensive around here, by the way?

"... expensive? And..."

The store owner asked me to follow him and leave the store.

"The most expensive will be that building."

I was stunned when I saw the direction I was pointing.

There was a castle there. It's quite far from where I am now, but I can still clearly see what it looks like. It's the biggest building around here.

"Oh, is that on sale? Who the hell sold it?

"I am royal. But even after the auction, it didn't sell at all..."

I became more and more anxious about this country, but once I was concerned about the price, I would ask.

"I'd like to ask for your information...... how much is that?

The first thing I heard from the owner was...

I can buy critical.

If I bought it, I would almost lose my money, but I can buy it anyway.

I couldn't resist the temptation to have a castle.

"Let's buy."

The store owner didn't seem to expect me to really buy it, and he has a stunned look.

"Are you sure? No kidding?

When I snort, the shop owner starts preparing the contract with great joy.

I wonder how much it didn't sell.

I felt strongly that I had done it, but I had an arithmetic that I would not lose money in the end.

I can't wipe some risk though......

I also saw the inside of the castle on the owner's guide, but the least amount of furniture is kept, and I think I'll be able to start my life soon.

But the impression of actually entering the castle is much smaller than that of the Imperial capital.

Well, it might be obvious though.

Still, I finish my contract without changing my mind and try not to be able to go back.

Soon the contract will be completed.

"Thank you!!

and was dropped off by the shopkeeper shouting out loud, leaving the store behind.

I can't swing back anymore.

I am the lord of every castle in every country. Let's forget the inconvenience.

Let's just eat today, get some sleep, and forget about the scattering.

When I made that decision, I went first to procure food.

I'm done sourcing food and going back to my castle.

I just nibbled when I entered the castle.

I wouldn't have had to, because I never thought I'd get a castle.

When I finish my meal, I get a little sleeper attack.

There was a luxurious bedded room on the first floor of the castle, so I decided to rest there.

Let's take a closer look at the castle.

Whether I spent a lot of energy exploring central Eleanor or because my bed was good, I fall asleep lightly.

The next day, when I wake up, I inadvertently recall a word the guild clerk said to me, checking the guild card for now. I wonder what has changed.

You have more items, as the staff said.

Which.

Looks like we can see the rankings of the country.

There is an item beside it that ranks individuals.

"Heh. Can you also see the rankings of individuals"

I don't think about anything in particular, and make it appear that I'm in a personal ranking.

Apparently, it is divided into individual rankings worldwide and domestic.

I don't think about it again and make the entire world rank appear.

"Ha!?

I raise my voice quite dumb.

The reason...

It was because of the letter "belongs to the State of Kite Eleanor" at the top of the ranking.
