Netooku Otoko no Tanoshii Isekai Boueki (WN)

Episode 149 The trump card smells like moncane

I wanted to stop by the bookstore, so Mr. Dream broke up with me for a lift down in the city.

A large bookstore in front of the station would have lots of books for sale.

There is little to no day until the human tsuki. We have to do what we can.

I bought the intended book at the bookstore and went right back home.

Cross from the mirror to the other world and open the Heavenly Plate to confirm your guidance.

There are not many guides currently out there.

"... that's all you're going to be able to clear right away after all"

There are several items that are key in Human Tsuzuki.

It's a monster mass event, more like a war.

Strategies will also be needed, but supplies are also important.

Of high importance among them would be weapons and spiritual stones.

"Shall we do business with your business…? I wonder if I'll call Efta now and make it."

"Let's do business with your business" is a guide that came out quite a while ago.

Sooner or later, I thought lightly that I should sell something expensive to Efta, but just in time. The more spiritual stones there are, the better, and I want to keep it clear here.

He's supposed to be in a city called Marishera, but how far was it?

It won't be close, but it certainly shouldn't have been as far away as the Empire...

I left the mansion, ran a little, and turned to Mr. Hetty.

Mr. Hetty was just having an orientation with the cavaliers.

Even so, the kind of thing that gathers in the square and talks in a chat format. The Knights are also growing in size, and this is how they reflect, chat, cheer up and roll out for drinks after training.

However, unlike usual today's, it was giving signs that it seemed a little serious.

"Oh, what's up, Master Zillow? Didn't you go to see the Great Mage of Dreams today?

Mr. Hetty notices this way and talks to me.

"Yeah, I'm done with that... What meeting were you having?

"That's not good, is it? The Alliance has informed me that only a few people can send backup this time..."

"A few...? Oh, no, you can't do that. Because..."

The one I experienced in the mountains of Lucraela is almost sealed in the mountains with Mr. Shamash's warcraft, on top of the monsters being dispersed in each pit, and that's still it.

Of course, there's a cavalry about here and there's plenty of room for numbers, but apart from that and this, we're talking.

"If this place falls, the village and Eliche will be in danger."

"Yeah. So, Sherrow Roat naturally protested, too, but thanks for talking about a massive number of hunters being hired in Imperial City and not being there, nothing. He said he had no choice but to do something about it..."

"It's not easy to manage."

Human Tsuzuki is like a war, so we'll have to keep the numbers in place.

"But it's good here, but there's got to be some other monster spots around Eliche, right? Couple of people can't help it, can they?

"We have Sherrow Roat here, right? That man is a Hunter's Rank S"

"It's grade S..."

"Class S hunters are considered at least ten class B hunters. So I guess the numbers were squeezed, too. Since we seem to secure a dozen people in other gushing grounds."

"I see...... Well, actually, we have the Knights, and I guess it's okay... but that's a problem. Earn money in the capital at a time like this..."

Well, even hunters have a life, and if they have a job in Imperial Capital that makes them gold, they can't help but go out......?

"... no. Hunters belonging to the Alliance are obliged to participate in human tsuzuki in that district. Because that is also the condition of belonging to the Alliance."

"Hmm? So how did everyone end up in Imperial Capital?

"That seems to be currently under investigation...... Now that we have Mia on the move, we'll have some information soon."

Does that mean there's a problem?

I'm only going to make the best of my place, but for the other spots, the mayor has to do the best for the guild guys.

I'm willing to cooperate.

"Well, for now, that's as it is - Mr. Hetty. Can you get in touch with Mr. Efta?

"What? Why not? Well, you can take it if you want."

Mr. Hetty is Efta's real sister.

If it's a call from my sister, you can't be unanswered. I know because I have a sister too.

"Actually, there has been a long time since I've been able to guide you to 'do business with your business', and I'd like to clear it and secure the Spirit Stone before the human tsuki starts in earnest..."

"Was there such a guide out there! But until we get to Hitotsuki, then we don't have any more days... not from Marishera..."

"I wish I'd moved a little faster."

Just in time.

I was going to sell a little revolutionary technology to Efta for a super high price.

"Master Zillow. If you really want to make it, you have the means."

"Do you have one?

Mr. Hetty snorts.

But does that mean an informal means?

"Are you okay? I don't care if you can't do it."

Guide… or business with Efta is only one of a few "things I want to do". Well, it's one of the spiritual stones I've never crossed.

"It's not impossible. Let me give you my secret magic guide. If you use the arrow, it should be about two days."

Two days...

I thought Marichella was so far away.

It's a secret magic guide...

"I'm just going to take a look at you from me. If we let the clergyman use his emergency communications network, we'll be able to get to Marichella in no time."

"Oh, you use Spirit Communication... so bring me 100 Spirit Stones and tell them because we have a business meeting"

"Hih, is that 100!?

"It won't even be the number you can't get out. Instead, this one also brings you permanently profitable stories"

"... ok. I'll tell him."

All right, now the Ephtha... is good to guide you.

In fact, I don't know if Efta will be on this deal, but if you explain it properly, you'll know.

Forever, magically, I beg of you. Then the development is overwhelming.

◇ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◇

The next day.

I called key members and told them that the next human Tsuzuki was likely to be "Around the Shore".

We were all half-hearted at first, but if that's what Eliche's hero, the Great Wizard of Dreams, said, it's not the story.

A review meeting began on how to prepare.

Basically, Mr. Sherrow and Mr. Rebecca take the head. This monster spot is naturally under Mr. Sherrow's jurisdiction. We're just backup personnel.

Nevertheless, there is no such thing as other human resources, and I do not intend to refuse any support I can. I don't care how much you stick around, especially if you can solve it with gold.

But some were not immediately convinced.

Deanna.

Listening to me, I was confused at first, but suddenly I started to creep up like I cut a weir.

"Oh no... I can't believe this human tsuzuki around the shore! I haven't been here in 50 years, and it's the circle of the stars that might make it possible."

Fighting Human Tsuzuki was already decided, so the crew didn't particularly disturb it, but Deanna seemed to have moved more than imagined.

I guess "around this shore" is so intense human twitching.

What a number three.

It's heaven or hell above this, so it's the biggest difficulty in fact.

"Well, actually, I don't know, let's just get ready. I heard that even one day, when I dropped the pendulum, 16 people were dead, but even more so."

"Mm, I can't, so shh. They're all going to die."

"Die..."

Even if I did, Deanna couldn't seem to stop the upset.

"Speaking of walking around this shore, even the Great Wizard of Dreams is so worn out that he can retreat...! No matter how many Knights I say there are...!

"That would be hard, but you're gonna have to. Even the monsters that have sprung up, if we have to stop them somewhere, the average person will die, because we are the Knights. If you run away here, you'll never name the Knights again."

There's no way I can do anything more than fly the Knights flag because it looks tougher than human Tsuzuki thought.

Of course, it's important to everyone. I don't want you to try a reckless battle. But it shouldn't be impossible to clear it if you prepare carefully and try.

Originally, humans in this world have coexisted with this system for 1,000 years.

"And I don't know... take a look, everyone's face. I'm not a knight, I'm not a knight, I'm a runner, okay? But this, then, you can't do that anymore."

The Knights of Artemis is a knighthood full of women.

But we were all certainly knights.

He is quietly throwing a sincere glance at Deanna with a fighting spirit.

Deanna is a 'princess'.

I usually treat them casually, but still, for everyone, Deanna pledged allegiance to a protected subject.

Where Deanna said she wanted me to stop because it was dangerous, it would be counterproductive.

"Princess. Marina protects the princess. Lord, let them protect you. Even Human Tsuzuki is absolutely fine. We worked out a lot, and we had company."

"Yeah, princess. It's not like I'm a knight. I don't know how I can live avoiding it... let me protect you."

"So... but..."

Marina and Mr Rebecca will persuade Deanna to represent them.

"But I... I'm worried about everyone. Marina is such an asshole that she's about to die..."

"Marina, it's not what we met, is it? Marina must not die. If you get hit, you get help from the magic of the princess."

"... silly. It needs a spiritual stone... and if it dies, it doesn't make sense."

"Is that so? Then we will fight not to die at all! Still no good?

Marina stares straight at Deanna.

Originally, I can't convince Marina of this hand. Because I'm really stubborn about this (...) decision.

"... then, promise... I want you to promise. Marina... everyone... says she's not dying at all."

I looked over to make sure Deanna checked each person's face, and I said.

It's a rare word for Deanna, an emotional outburst.

That's all I think about this human tsuki.

"It's going to snow tomorrow when the princess looks like this."

"Ma, Marina. You..."

"It's a joke. And... it's okay. Everybody - nobody dies. Lord, no one, Tycho, no one is going to die."

"Well, as Marina says, we'll do our best to make sure no one dies."

We just have to do our best.

Try to clear this human tsuki at your leisure enough to blow Deanna's worries away.

Otherwise, hit it already and smash it.

I would say it for a long time. When you do your best in human resources and wait for Heavenly Fate.

...... a little different use?

◇ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◇

The soldiers, who touched on Deanna's usually unseen weaknesses, gathered under Deanna and became the "Knight Pledged Not to Die Under the Princess" initiative competition.

Newbies and the like are even a little tearful.

They knights really like rituals. Maybe it's because all the admiration is amplified for what I've never been rewarded with.

That, after one paragraph, reopened the review meeting.

Because of one thing about Deanna, everyone's face may have changed a bit.

Fight through without dying. As a matter of course, it was good to have a consensus. In this world where life is not so heavy, putting the supremacy of not dying is an extraordinary and important thing.

"We are the only battle personnel this time around. Fighting monsters is a long story, as we experienced in Lucraela. You might want to think about it and think about the operation."

"We're still good. We have all the right warriors. I guess the other gushing grounds will be tougher battles. In some cases, they might ask for backup."

"Waha, sorry Zillow. People are assigned to other monster spots. For that matter, the stones out of the monster are total, so give me a break. I'll do everything I can in a while."

I know Deanna panics, and neither am I a brave man or anything. If it's something you can get away with, it's something you want to get away with.

But a pinch is a chance.

If we can show the value of the Knights here, we will get a solid standing in this city.

Human Tsuzuki can fight in Elisheh. Human beings will hit in total.

Other locations (spots) will also need to be checked to send backup depending on the combat situation.

The situation is shared in real time in spiritual communication, as one person is always placed in the field with an elf.

"Anyway, I'm ready. Let's do all the possible measures. You can collect the money later with Demonic Crystals, so you can use Jackajacka. Okay, guys, come up with some ideas."

Now Awasezuki has just begun, and we have about a week until the human tsuki, where the moon completely overlaps.

In the meantime, do what you can with penetration.

Humans cannot increase anymore, and it will be difficult to suddenly increase the combat power of personnel.

Combat experience with monsters, though accumulated by fighting sequentially, is not a lot of experience, as only about Skeleton warriors come out.

No matter, it's still better than not doing it. You'd better experience that anomalous move. Well, it's unlikely the rookies will play the White Soldiers.

"Then all of a sudden, but from me, okay?

Mr. Shamash raises his hand. That's unusual.

"If it's a tactic against a monster, if I make a monster torch, I might have some control over the movement. Is there anything you can do about it?

A monster torch is like a black flaming pine light made by Mr. Shamash in magic, which has the effect of attracting monsters.

If the monster does always come to the sole, the way the operation is set up changes.

I see, it does seem like a monster torch could be used.

"Hmmm...... then wouldn't you simply like the wall? It depends on the size of the monster. It's not even the same as just being able to bisect the monster with a wall. Or you can think of making it a one-way street and always fighting only one of the leading ones. Oh, well, then the baristas can be beaten down and the monsters on the straight line can be destroyed."

Monsters don't need to think about carcasses because if they die, they only leave demonic stones and disappear.

We can use Operation Barista!

"That's Zillow. You don't think egghetto, do you? The idea is mercenary."

"Really? Wouldn't it be easier to use them if they could move foolishly because of it?"

"Well, it's not even that simple actually. Because monsters have a lot of things to do."

A lot indeed. Skeleton and Oak would have moved differently, and Oak or something has been a stone-throwing attack. It may be dangerous to imagine it pictorially.

Nevertheless, I have taken some advice from Mr. Dream.

First, this is the advantageous side.

Originally, Human Tsuzuki itself is a remnant from the game age, so it is built from a player (...) perspective. In other words, they are tuned for people who are inferior to athletic ability and superior to magic attacks, so the monsters are collectively 'strong in magic (...) and weak in physics (...)'.

This is a cavalry composed almost exclusively of flesh-bomb warriors, with little wizards, so that's all that's advantageous.

The disadvantage of this one would be, more importantly, that it is' unbeatable '.

Unlike the players, if they die, that's it.

I may come back to life, but I just don't have the courage to die and try.

"How's the pit? The same goes for the walls, but if you make a favorable terrain over here, you're going to be able to fight favorably, right? Or build high walls and drop rocks and stuff on monsters gathered down there."

If it's piercing, maybe it'll make it.

Much better than pussy on the flat.

There are other operations that use gasoline and kerosene, so I'll just have it ready.

"The most important thing is the weapon, after all."

"Weapons? Like baristas?

"Well, yes. I brought some books, so I thought I'd ask my big parents to make them piercing."

It would be nice for humans to chamber, but it would still be more efficient to use tools than to pussy on monster opponents.

It would be difficult if they were human, but I think if they were monster opponents, they'd be going to hit me silly.

The biggest ones are the large crossbow guns (baristas), stone throwers (catapults), and...

"What the hell!? Can you make something like this!?

The big parent who sees the blueprint speaks out in surprise.

"In theory. I will prepare the wire to catch the iron sphere, if only the big parent can make the iron sphere. Do you think you can?

"Oh, oh. That's what they said and I can't say. I can't say. But iron would help if you could accommodate it a little."

"Well, let's get that ready too"

What I showed the big parent was a blueprint of the barista and the stone thrower, as well as a schematic of a fish-up destructive iron sphere. Iron Ball... that's what happened at Asama Mountain House.

The iron ball didn't have blueprints or anything, so I showed you my handmade blueprints and a picture of the crane. If you shake the iron ball and bump it, you can use it as many times as you want. The destructive force on top is Batugun. It's impactful enough to hit an automobile somehow. I decided to prepare it because if I could successfully direct the monster, it wouldn't be hard to hit it.

The problem is the wire. I guess there are substances in this world that can support super-weight iron spheres themselves, but it's going to be a lot of money, so I decided to prepare the wire. It feels like 200,000 yen, but I can pay it now. It seems rather difficult to carry, but we'll figure it out.

A number of other proposals came out and the plan was more or less consolidated.

Preliminary work is still huge, making it more burdensome for the big parents and Mr. Shamash, who summons the golem. But if we're properly prepared here, I think we can at least afford to fight at the beginning.

And then I want to see Mr. Dream about once more if I can, and ask him if there's anything like a tactic.

Better make up a list of things to ask.

I just want to do everything I can to get this human tsuki cleared safely.
