Over The Infinite

- On the move -

Monster City. It's a place I've heard a lot of times before, but never had a chance to go.

There are so many places in the Labyrinth City that only the name has ever been known, most of which can be moved by free pass or simple procedure, and I just haven't gone because I don't need it, but the situation is slightly different here.

Although it is a place that is more unrealistic than the tourist area open to the general public, it is not open to the general public, and it requires strict procedures for moving, let alone relocation. The condition is sufficient to be interested, and it seems more rare than that... There is also the fact that stepping into the Shijingu palace and the lord's house has raised the ranking of relative interest.

Technically, if I was asked to go to the Royal Palace in the Kingdom of Aurendia or to go to Monster City, I would have been interested enough to go to Monster City immediately.Of course, I have no particular reason to go just because I'm interested.

"But why Monster City?I don't know what's bothering me about the procedure if I just have to decide about monsters in the course. "

I started traveling at the behest of Damus and then asked him along the way.

Previously, I checked lightly and found that what is needed to get to Monster City is not primarily a qualification, but a reason.If you are a general adventurer, you can apply for travel without any problems, but the reason is not just personal tourism or interviews.We need a reason why we have to be in Monster City.If you want to meet certain monsters, it's hard to call them through an Alliance, and you can't expect to have a specific facility in Monster City with little information about what you have.It is only natural that hurdles will inevitably rise.

Sometimes I do things like sightseeing tours, but the frequency and audience are quite limited, and it's a bit of a hurdle to get interested.When you look at the introduction of the tour, you will naturally see other tourist destinations, so if you are interested in it, you can wait.That's how Monster City keeps losing opportunities.

In fact, the travel voucher received at the Shijin practice victory was also this pattern.It was also because the sky dragon became interested in the story of radine's hot springs.

"No, I'm not surprised. I spent some time thinking that it might have something to do with the content of the course, and it was just here.It's almost a free pass if I do the procedure. "

"That would be you."

There will be few labyrinths in the city, such as places you won't be able to get in with Damus.Except for other people's rooms, but I don't want to go there, and I don't want to go even if they call me because I'm scared.It wasn't as impressive as when I actually met and reported, but from all the stories I've heard, only the word vigilance comes to mind.

I don't fully believe in the word "unintentional," so it will be necessary to be prepared, but if it is true with Damus, it is not strange to do so again.

"Does the elevator move from the underground highway to the transit facility?I'd like to get my wallet if I came back. "

Damus was followed to the elevator hall in the Guild Hall.The current location is upstairs, so if you go out normally, you will use the stairs.Then it could be a subterranean highway, as Yuki said....

"No, it's another route. You don't have to worry about the money because I'm giving it to the Conductor.Money is different in Monster City in the first place, so it doesn't make much sense to take your wallet. "

"Oh, I see. Do you have money for monsters?The one Tuna gave me when she came to the Labyrinth City. "

I don't have it anymore.I gave it to Mr Lotte last summer.

I don't want to remember much, but it's a twist earned by professionally dressing with faggot witch glasses.... speaking of which, I haven't seen that special thing before.I wonder if I got fired.

While talking about it, Danmus took out a mysterious card and inserted it into a card slot marked [for staff].Then the elevator starts moving even though there is no other operation.

Then came the strange feeling of returning from the private area of Damus.In fact, it may be similar.

"You look drunk."

I'll be right there. Hang in there.

Yuki, who seems to be able to train half the tubes better than me, made a sound first.I don't know if Dirk is used to it or not, but there may be cases where someone with a good feeling feels more sensitive.

Damus said it was really quick.You arrived at your destination in a few seconds, the elevator stops and the door opens.What a transfer gate ahead of us.It is an unusually narrow, dedicated space that has just been prepared for that purpose.The entrance to our clan house, decorated with one hand by the manager and Yuki, will still be more decorative.

"Beyond the gate, there's already a guide waiting for you in Monster City."

"Well, aren't you going to Damus?"

We tried to get off the elevator as it was because there was only a gate, but Damus didn't show up to move.

"Dirk and I are separate. I'll pick you up later, so go with Tuna and Yuki."

What?

It was Dirk who responded to the words.He was trying to get off normally.

"Um, I'm also interested in Monster City.I've never actually been there. "

"If you're interested, I'll give you another chance.I mean, this is the main thing rather than a course like this. "

I knew about it, but he said that the course was coming along.But is that what you said you had business with Dirk first?

So the elevator with Damus and the puzzling dilk left us somewhere.

Well, let's go.

"Well, there's nothing surprising about it. It's Damus."

At least he seems to be alive on the surface, so he can't help complaining about his behavior.

[Monster City Transfer Facility]

The transfer gate was lurking in the dungeon to Dunmouth... and there was no development, and it was a room with the same impression of inorganism.However, there is a normal exit instead of the elevator entrance.

And when I went out through the exit, there was a place like a lobby.The hues are quite different but close to the entrance to the Labyrinth Lot Transfer Facility.Maybe it's the transfer facility lobby in Monster City or something.

"I'm really here..."

What I was waiting for there was a familiar face.He is a vampire who, as usual, is wearing an extra red dress, but he looks tired and feels no elegance.Unmistakably my clam candidate.

Is it okay if Lotte is your guide?

"... unfortunately"

What a pity.

We feel comfortable if our family members are the guide, but the person doesn't seem to be very comfortable.

Gobsartiwan, too?

Next to Lotte, I saw a goblin leaning his neck.I'm worried about seeing someone I don't know.

"No, I'm not a meat wall.Not even his blood. "

That's not true. You can tell them by their weapons when you train or dungeon attack, but you can't tell them by their civilian clothes, Goblin.I'm still not sure even Mr. Gobutalow can tell the difference.

Hey, who's this guy?

"My Clamas, which I've been explaining many times before.That's why I can't leave you alone. Sish! "

Er...

"Shut up! Don't go!!"

The Goblin child who hates you?... Lotte kicked the kid away.As for Goblin, he didn't get particularly angry or sad, but he left somewhere with the usual flatness.

Listening to your voice is completely different from the Gobsarthwan.I don't know if he's going to... raise his voice, but the goblin was more childish and tall.It feels uncomfortable to have a child with the same appearance but only the voice.

"I wonder who's coming with me.The same second generation, weird cows. "

"Maybe Lotte's a little fresh with her sister."

"... because I'm the oldest of the Second Monsters.Instead, it's just down there. "

I knew it because I had heard various stories, but when I actually saw it, it felt as fresh as Yuki said.The Gobsartywan doesn't feel so tight.Maybe it's because they treat me like meat walls.

"So, why do you seem unhappy?You don't have enough blood someday? "

"It's not like that.... you didn't really want to show oniichan this city.But I can't help it with the Dungeon Master's request..... "

"Don't you hate that we're here instead of being guided?Something you don't want to see. "

"I don't want to see this city itself. It's embarrassing."

There was nothing I could do when I came here.Maybe it's because I'm ashamed to be seen at home or at my roots.

"Is that what it is?"

"Is that what snow rabbits are for?I'm embarrassed to see my parents. "

"Nothing in particular...? My parents... don't care if they see me.No, I'm not going home at all because of this situation.I won't show you around. "

I feel like I'm starving in strange places, but in Yuki's case, there seems to be no problem at home, and maybe so.I agree that there are problems when I get back.

"When I think about it, I don't want to introduce my parents to the world either.It's like a puddle of darkness in the kingdom without any hard memories. "

"I don't think it's comparable to a deserter village that's been erased from the records.... better than that. "

It's not a shameful dimension.It's too dark to be distracted even if I show you around.

Well, it could be abandoned by now, so I can show you around.I'm sorry if anyone stays alone.In that case, the sightseeing spot is going to be my secret base, not my village.

"Even so... as far as I can tell, isn't it normal?There are only monsters. "

Yuki looked around the lobby as she said so.It's true that the monsters are just wandering around, which is no different from the transfer facilities in the Labyrinth lot.Outside the building... I don't see a city that looks that different through the glass.Lighted up in the dark at night is a much bigger building than a labyrinth city that fits the size of a giant, overwhelming, but that's all.There is no waste of thunderstorms or creepy castles standing up.

"Well, it's basically just a place for well-behaved monsters.When it comes to monsters as a whole, so is the City of Monsters... "

"Hmm? Not all monsters live in this city?"

"Most people don't wander around the dungeon and settle.I mean, I don't have such a concept.... only special monsters who evolved in the dungeon and were judged safe to live outside.And a monster like us. "

Too long ago, I forgot, but that's what Mr. Gobutalow said.I can't come out because I'm stupid.

"Outside... even though the law is stricter than the labyrinth division, we can't maintain order unless we do so.It's like a slum in King's Landing. "

Ah, from a labyrinth city dweller, it's some kind of lawless zone.

"That's right... what is it?"

Although Yuki had bad teeth because she was a big merchant's kid, I lived near the slum so I could understand it as a form of living apart.

In short, this is the middle of the dungeon and the city.If you feel signs like in a dungeon, it's not so much an instant fight, but if you have a violent incident like in a labyrinth city, it's probably a place where there's no order like immediate arrest.If you're under strict law, you don't have a place to live, or if you're under strict law, you can't live.It seems rather legal here, but the direction is the same... no, maybe it's closer to being in jail.

"So it's a shameful place to be seen as born here."

"Well, I don't care, so it's okay."

"I care!!"

Even if they say that, if it's not a lawless zone of such a harmful level, it won't be a problem.I don't know if it's the police... if it's sold in a fight, but you can call someone like that.

"Even so, Damus told me to come sightseeing.It's only part of the training, but you can't go home without doing anything. "

"Well then, the plan is to have dinner at the family restaurant over there and go home.I'm supposed to teach you the content of the course. "

Lotte pointed to the family as the tenant of the transfer facility.Customers and employees are like monsters, but they are also a chain store that is common in labyrinth cities.There is no level of freshness because I use it frequently even near the Labyrinth Guild Hall.Even the campaign Nobori I put in front of the store is with me.

"Anyway, if you want to eat, it's the only thing you can eat here.I don't know what the monsters usually eat, so maybe it's different for the family. "

"You know... this is also a labyrinth city, so it won't change that much.There's a big difference between what people like and dislike and what they can't eat, so that's all I care about. "

Do you feel that vegetarian and halal dishes are also available?If you think about it carefully, it's in the same city, and what you eat is completely different.

Rather, there may be more variety in the labyrinth compartment where the monster ingredients are cooked and served.From the monsters' point of view, they cook themselves.

"So, when Damus asked you to do this, did you give any instructions? such as tourist routes."

"Hmm... maybe there's nothing wrong...Oniichan told me to be careful where I wanted to go. "

Then you shouldn't go home like that. Take care of yourself.

"Well, I have a brochure about sightseeing, so choose where you'd like to go.We only have a couple of hours, so we'll have dinner and a couple of places nearby. "

That's what Lotte gave me for a long time, but is that a puff?Isn't it a normal tourist destination?

"Then you can choose Yuki.I'll pick a restaurant from where I left off. "

"Really? Well, wait a minute..."

"The shop near here is still fine....."

I don't want to step into the lawless zone, either.I like to look for holes, but it's a policy to enjoy after some excavation.I'm not going into the alley without knowing. [M]

I don't know about Monster City, but it's time to mass produce drunks in taverns, and I don't want to get mixed up.

So I decided to sit on the lobby sofa and wait for Yuki's choice.

- About the monsters -

"I'd like to ask you first, do you think you should ask Lotte about the content of the course?"

"Fine, but it doesn't make sense to know that Monster City doesn't come that way."

"I'd rather hear about the monsters than the Dungeon City."

In the first place, Monster City was not included in the training.Damus would not have wanted to go into any more detail about this place.

"If it's easy, I'll still answer now.Snow rabbits may not be able to concentrate. "

"I don't mind entering some shop...."

I'm still fine now.

Suffering from Lotte's concerns, Yuki glanced at the brochure.Does it matter if the person in question is good?I'm not testing it.

This is true for courses and so on, but Yuki seems to be very good at her work.That doesn't mean you lose focus, and you usually score good points in exams.I wonder if you're originally good at dividing the direction of consciousness into dexterity or split thinking.

Well then, let's hear it now. I'm starting to wonder what Damus is talking about, but in the first place, it's the definition of a monster. "

"Temporary body...? Ah, a temporary body in a dungeon.Sure enough, I don't think the adventurers are like the monsters. "

I've been wondering for a long time, but what I don't quite understand is the definition of a monster.In beginner training, Werner was talking about whether there were monsters in the race column.That's true, but it's just a way of making a distinction, not a definition.

It is also strange that Lizardman, Bugs, and Beasts are not treated as monsters, including outside the Labyrinth City.Vampires who quit monsters like Lotte and Werner were just as subracial, and Gobutalow and Terrawaros were the same fairy species as elves and dwarves.Now it really just seems to be distinguished by whether there is a monster or not behind the race.

So maybe there's something in that/monster part that defines a monster, but I don't know.I've been an adventurer for a while, and I thought it might be a monster that demonizes and disappears after killing, but if that happens, we'll also become monsters when we enter the dungeon and temporarily become ourselves.

It doesn't have to be defined in a strict sense, but I want to be as clear as I can as I'm earning money by defeating monsters.

"By definition, monsters are the ones whose magic has materialized.It was not born as an organism, it was an occurrence.The same treatment was created not only by natural occurrences, but also by dungeon masters.But strictly speaking, it's probably not a mistake to pretend to be like a monster.I'm not a monster on the species label. "

"Ah, the birth... or the difference in the history of the establishment of existence"

There are monsters outside the Labyrinth City.It is no exaggeration to say that they appear suddenly, but one day they do.It seems to create nests and biological reproduction, but basically it seems to occur rather than be born.Building a herd is not just a blood bond, it's just because it's easy for monsters of the same kind to occur if you're close by.

It's the same in the dungeon, and I've seen monsters happen several times. I knocked it down right away.

"Well, that means you're not a monster," he said.I don't know Gobsartwan's parents very well. "

At least Werner isn't a monster right now.I don't know when Lotte was born, but considering the timing, I think it has already stopped.

"If one of my parents stays a monster, my child will become a monster.Me and the meat walls are like halves. "

I see. So Lotte's mother remains a monster.

"In fact, we were born as monsters.If you die outside the dungeon, you'll be demonized and disappear.Of course I'll be back. "

After all, that's what makes monsters so special.

"Besides, the definition of a monster is really that.I just told you that the adventurer is closer to the monster, but in the case of a monster, it's called the devil himself. "

"Machine"

"I'm not talking about a Borg machine.A magical body. In the case of monsters, this is the state inside and outside the dungeon. "

I know it's over my head, but you don't think it's a machine.There are some mechanical monsters.

"Distinguishing means there's a clear difference."

"As oniichan says, the characteristics are certainly close to being temporary, but the magic reaction is even more pronounced.Just being in the dungeon could be so fundamentally spoilage. "

Are you talking about level-ups?You know, just wandering around the dungeon raises the level. "

"That's true, but the species itself changes.The characteristics and abilities also change.Of course, changes within categories... it's normal for vampires to stay in the same lineage like vampires and nobles, but each one is pretty much different.Of course, this change is faster in battle. "

Rank up a monster.

"Minotaur wasn't just changing his pants."

"Especially these guys, but I don't know much about other races.But the basics should be the same, so you're changing to suit the changing race. "

Well, if it gets stronger just by changing your pants, it won't be hard.I didn't become a brief taurus because I wore a brief, I became a brief taurus so I wore a brief.I don't know what that means, but the causal link should be right.Otherwise, the brief at the trial would have really been a Minotaur.And what about Taurus who dropped his pants as a drop?

"Perhaps that's why taking a class like an adventurer is synonymous with changing the race itself.Goblin Archer, Oak Commander, and so on.... when you heard this, you thought maybe monsters would be stronger and easier than adventurers. "

"Yeah."

I thought I'd agree and nod, but I got a reply from the neighbor first.I saw the brochure, but I knew you were listening.

Well, I think so too.

"Actually, monsters are faster if they just get stronger.But there are limits. There are individual differences, and each wall is different, but ultimately the 100 layer wall can never be exceeded.That's how monsters are made. "

I don't know what the rationale is, but it's pretty fatal not to exceed 100 layers.That's because it's synonymous with not going beyond the walls of the world.

What Damus is looking for is a comrade to move forward together or an element to return to.Monsters can't get there because of those constraints.

"Monsters are extremely vain.The essence is easily changed because it is fuzzy and unstable.Like spirits and beast gods, this planet... is like a phantom trapped in the world.Well, my rock fortress and the Witch of the Four Gods could probably be over 100 stories. "

Gard, Mizuho-san, and Gaul are all tied up at the same time as they are protected by subgods and stars.Each has a different purpose and direction, but it seems common to move away from the bondage by subdivinizing beyond the 100 layers of the infinite corridor.

Monsters cannot exceed 100 layers while remaining monsters.If you go beyond that, you need to stop monsters from the beginning.That's why Werners stopped being monsters and became adventurers so they wouldn't be tied to constraints.

I wonder what kind of monsters exist after 101, but this should be asked by Damus.

"I'm not like that anymore, but monsters are probably... afraid of defining themselves as a common sense.I finally realized that I had stopped. I'm afraid of becoming something because I'm not anybody. "

Valuable opinion of a former monster.

"There's been a little increase lately, but there's still not much.Well, you might want to remember that monsters are like that. "

That means Lotte and Gobsartiwan have established themselves.I feel like there's a huge distance there that I don't know.

"So, have you decided where you're going?If you haven't moved yet..... "

Hmm. Well, here it is. I was wondering if it was a monster arena, but it looks like it's being refurbished and restricted.

Yuki opened a brochure that said "Monster Shopping Street".

I do care about the Monster Arena that is featured on the next page. If you lose, it's instant materials!A catchy copy of the madness Death Game is starting now!! 'is mainly interesting because it sees something scary.If you lose, you'll be turned into a material. Monster City is awesome.

"It's more normal than I thought, but is this the right place?"

"I didn't think it would be interesting to look at it very much.I wonder if the monsters live, but it's not something I can see in sightseeing.I think it would be better if it had something to do with us. "

"Honestly, I don't think this city is suitable for sightseeing, okay?I feel comfortable, too. "

In terms of novelty, it would be enough when there are only monsters.I don't know what Yuki wants to see in the mall, but it didn't seem different to me.

[Monster City]

So I took Lotte and stepped out of the transfer facility to a city lined with huge buildings that looked like glass from the inside.From the site of the transfer facility, it looks as busy as in front of the station.

Sometimes it is dark because it is night, but in the first place, the architecture is too big to ensure visibility.You'll need to climb a pretty tall building to see what's out there.

"... what?"

Yuki stopped as she tried to step into the city.I thought it was something because I was tilting my neck, but I noticed the discomfort even after a short delay.

Somehow, the concentration of magic in the air seems like a dungeon.

"Oh, that's right. I didn't say it well, but I thought it looked like a dungeon."

Obviously, the air is different to the extent that I feel it on my skin.Until a while ago, I would only have felt uncomfortable, but now I can clearly understand.

"It seems to be adjusted that way.I've heard things like using magical traits, but I don't know the details. "

"Oh, unlike the adventurer, just being in the dungeon would have grown."

I don't know how effective it is, but does it mean that the environment is adapted to benefit people outside the dungeon?

"One way or another, I think it would be bigger if the monsters made it easier for them to spend time.It's mostly happening in dungeons. "

"That's the intent, too.I might be satisfied if they told me. "

I don't think the harsh monsters walking around are so delicate, but I understand that the air in my hometown is more reassuring.I don't really feel it myself just because I understand it.

"Well, this is probably the most popular street in the area that could be a candidate.Is there a shop you want to enter? "

Hmm.

Looking at the signs of the stores lined up along the road, the chains and taverns are noticeable.The line of shops is exactly in front of the station.

I don't mind the menu bar, but there are a lot of people who are drunk and noisy, so I'd like to avoid it a little.Some stalls seem to be selling outside, but they don't match our demand.

By the way, what's the budget?

"I have a Dungeon Master, and you can have as much as you want."

Then I'll have sushi over there.

I don't think I can find a shop that is unique to this city in an eye-catching lineup.If there is no previous information and you are closer than anyone else, it would be good to rely on inspiration.

I chose the rotary sushi shop, but it is a non-chain-like shop that is authentic just as a form of rotary sushi.The price of the menu placed in front of the shop is considerably higher than the market price only written by the top clan people.Because it is not the price of B-class food, it is usually a shop that seems to be distant, but there will be no problem at this time.

Even if I asked the two of them, they didn't seem to disagree, so I decided to go into the store.

But I may not have realized that this is Monster City yet.You shouldn't have seen the streets that looked so bad and modern, and it was unexpected that you were waiting for us.

From my perspective, I imagined that if I entered a sushi restaurant, I would normally say "Welcome" or "Welcome", and even if I didn't like it well, it would correspond to customers.... I've already done it.

"Ghhhhhhh!!"

Immediately after entering the store, a strange sound echoed.When I think about it, I realize that it is the product of being inside and holding the sushi more than the belt of rotating sushi.

"Giggle!!" "Giggle!" "That's human!" "Giggle!"

"Hey, what's up!?"

I can hear Yuki's bewildered voice from behind, but neither can I.

After all, most of the employees in the store are mysterious creatures that make strange noises.Mysterious creatures... yes, the clerks are not our familiar aliens or monsters.It was a group of fish men who had once been defeated as designated species for slaughter.

They've never seen anything like a junk monster except fight as a designated species, so why are there so many?

"Welcome, how many people?"

Sa, three.

"Please come to the table."

Guided by an Oak ladylike clerk who came by to respond to me in a very normal way, we were soon to get away and sit at the table.

"... what the hell is going on? You're the fish man of the day, aren't you?The fish varieties are different. "

"... oniichan's chosen store is always like this, but are you aiming for it?"

Definitely force majeure.

Somehow, a line of sight came from both of them blaming me.I simply chose a shop that looked expensive and unusual, but for some reason it was a fish man's nest.

Why do monsters try to feed their own kind?It's called a yakiniku restaurant funded by Mr. Brief, it's called here, it's incomprehensible.

"Well, I don't know what that means, but the shop seems pretty popular, and the stuff that comes out may be delicious."

By the time the water arrived, Lotte, who had recovered from the confusion a little earlier, had begun to check the menu.Apparently, they are using a system that is good for rotating sushi as is, and if they order with a small terminal, the system will flow to the front with a belt.

The screen on your device says, "Hamachi is delicious now!Crusade Designated Fishman (Hamachi) Recommended! ), but I don't think you're recommending your own body.I mean, hamachi was supposed to be a fish, but I wonder if it might be different from blisters.... let's avoid hammers for now.

"I want to avoid fish...."

Yuki starts checking the menu in the distance, but this shop won't be able to do that.Just by using the system of rotating sushi, sushi itself is regarded as authentic.No pudding or ramen is included in the lineup like a stray spinning sushi chain.Eggs are fine, but eating just that will stimulate Yuki's wasted spirit.

"Damn, it's disgusting how delicious it is."

The sushi that was ordered on the terminal and transported on the belt clearly had a different dimension than spinning sushi.The price is quite high, but it is still enough to convince me.

It's a good shop except for the visual problem that the fish man is dealing with customers.Today, there is a terrible sight that combines the strengths and weaknesses of restaurants, where the fish man who looks like a tuna in front of the board is still holding the fish with a skilled hand.

"... Amazing, Monster City. I underestimated it."

"No, it's not!? I didn't know there was a store like this either!I don't have this common sense! "

"But it's real."

No matter how much Lotte defends, the fish man's sushi restaurant has become real.... I don't know what actually happened, but in a way, I could say I hit a store that looked like a monster town.This must be a good experience.

"I mean, there were so many fish men.I thought it was just the carp fish man. "

"I've checked several times as a designated species, but this number is unexpected."

Actually, I didn't even know there was a hammer on the device.I wonder which dungeon they live in.

"Speaking of which, I wonder what happens to that carp fish man after he kills him.The same monsters don't come out of the designated species, like downgrading them? "

"A monster defeated as a designated Enemy Species has three choices: retire, become a unique monster, or continue to operate normally.I'll get a name for it as a mostly unique monster. "

Does that mean that carp is now a unique monster?Fishmans are difficult to distinguish by species names, so naming them is welcome.

"Unique monsters were like that."

"No, it's just that there are other ways.I was no longer evaluated for my track record and exams, and by then, I had no designated system for assassination. "

Somehow, it seems that recently, we've been able to set up a system of designated species for slaughter.

"Oh, so it's been a while since the Bounty Hunters came out."

Many of the labyrinth cities that we normally see have never worked before.Most of them will be added in the month-to-month version upgrade, but according to Damus, they are largely systematically open, tested and tabulated.It is a system that neither Emperor Dragon nor Nameless knew, so it is probably the system used by his predecessor's administrator.

Yuki's name is the class name of the tree, it is also the name of the group, and it is also the name that refers to the people who do this kind of work.They specialize in opposing bosses and designated species, possess many of these skills and equipment, and are active in many battles.Characteristics include being treated like a mercenary who participates in another party if asked.It seems that if we confirm the designated species for slaughter, we may come to sell it ourselves.As a matter of fact, when I was aiming for revenge on Wyburn, there was only contact.This is a job that I rarely encounter if my clan is solidified.

It is a tree that attracts a lot of attention, but it is also characterized by many of these specialized classes.There are classes that specialize in mining and collecting in the dungeon, specialize in collecting crates rather than scouts, specialize in handling potions and even improve their effectiveness, and have a suitability for unknown items and equipment.

"But it's delicious. Even though I'm not a cook, I can't believe sushi makes me regret it just because it's delicious...."

A culinary confrontation with a good culinary cartoon evokes a scene where the opponent has to admit the hero's skill.I didn't want to taste it in particular, but it feels fresh.

At first, Yuki and Lotte, who had been distant, were eating normally, so it might be a suitable category for the store.

"Gyoh!!"

... I don't really want to admit it.

I can't help it. Forget this mysterious dining experience and count on the shopping streets.

Gyo!!

Shut up.

- The cattle in the shopping district -

We had an unexpected experience in a different dimension, but we decided to seal the memories that seemed to be dreaming, and we decided to go to the next destination.

On my way to my destination, the shopping district, I passed in front of a monster arena that was being renovated, but despite the restrictions, it was quite prosperous.This view is quite fresh as the Labyrinth Arena is not very open at night.Many bloodthirsty people can hear destruction sounds from inside, bloody monsters are transported in tankers, and Duff shops and customers are physically negotiating. There are still many parts that make people think it's different from the front.

Apart from this, it seems that there are also underground arenas with no rules, but what will happen to them?What, real-time disassembly deathmatch?

"A monster who commits a crime will be banished or will go here.Some athletes usually sign up to fight. "

"I wonder if banishment is the same... but if a Labyrinth City Standard monster goes out there, it's going to be a lot of noise."

"You're not outside the Labyrinth City, you're banished by the Dungeons.You don't deserve to live in the city. "

Yeah, that's fine. Once you get used to proper accommodation, entertainment, and various services, no matter how many monsters you are, you won't want to be forced homeless.

"As for the monster fighters in the arena, I sometimes go to the front and do events, so I still have the chance to see the sun."

"Oh, I may have seen that on TV.I was fighting Kangaroos on a special New Year's Eve. "

"Kangaroo? I wonder if there was such a monster..."

It seems that Lotte didn't know the other party either.It's a labyrinth city, and it could be an unusual animal.

As I was walking through the conversation, I quickly arrived in the monster shopping district.I mean, the eyes of the arena and the tip of the nose.It seems that the street in front is usually a shopping district for tourists.

"There are shopping streets in different races, but if you say shopping streets for tourists, it's mostly here.It's closed because it's night, but it seems to be selling souvenirs as well. "

"I can't imagine what souvenirs are. Like buns?"

"I don't know much about alcohol, either.I may have heard that some monsters take home the equipment they use. "

Even if the size is too different and the equipment cannot be used, is it a souvenir ant?We were talking about keeping Minotaur Axe as a souvenir.I used it to crush the cat's ears.

There were some posters in front of the souvenir shop, but they also sell pennants, figurines, and yuki's manju. I don't really need it.

"What did Yuki want to see when she came here? Like a supermarket?"

"I just chose to erase it, but it looks like there's a shop that might have something to do with adventurers.Weapon shops and item shops for monsters.If you're wondering what the supermarket is selling, you might wonder. "

"It may be interesting because there is a difference.I might want to buy a blood pack if I go to the supermarket.It's not the same as the front. "

"... you guys are going to see the ingredients right after that fish man sushi shop."

I don't know if they were manipulating their bodies, but I do associate myself with them.

With such a fantasy, a minnow carrying a huge boomerang from across the road... no, a boomerantaurus approached.He looks at us and leans his neck, but what kind of boomerang is that?Boomerang is too cheap because you wear boomerang pants.

"Cheeeeeeeeee!! I thought it was someone! It's been a long time!!"

"Gee, drunk."

What? You know Lotte?The tone is very reminiscent of Mr. Brief, but is Taurus like this?Speaking of which, Holstein looked like that at the casino one day...

"I mean, why are there evil demons?Sightseeing? It's Idol Brief, the new American adventurer. "

It was Mr. Brief himself. Boomerang pants.

"Did you say you were promoted?Do you know my Lotte? "

"What's it got to do with us?I heard you were the boss at the event. "

Rather, I'd like to ask you what your relationship is.

"I stopped being a monster and started being an adventurer.I joined your clan. "

We haven't set up yet.This return to sightseeing is also part of it.

"Really? That's what happens when I don't think I've seen it lately!? Adventurers who abandon their unique status are so brave.Do you think I can win now? "

"What? I'm sure he's weakened, but I have a brother."

"I'm interested in fighting the devil, but I don't want to be eaten like that cat ear."

I'm not eating it.

You don't know Lotte's an adventurer, but you know my background.I don't remember telling you the details when I went to Yakiniku, but it was about the battle immediately after Mr. Brief, and I wonder if you heard about it when I appeared on TV.

"So, after all, you're a tourist? For sightseeing, I'll introduce you to my Okini spot.I was going to the blacksmith, but that looks more interesting. "

"Well, it's like sightseeing.It's not a regular route or anything. "

"Really? That's the devil?"

I don't know what it is, but it's fine if the person is convinced.

Well then, I guess I'll follow Mr. Brief.Why don't you call me back and meet me? "

So I decided to take another action temporarily.Lotte and Yuki are in the supermarket for monsters.I was going to go chill to the blacksmith that Mr. Brief was going to.They'll call me later.

- About blacksmithing -

"Cheeeeeeeeee!! Is there an old man?"

"Ugh! I'm in front of you!! Charataurus!"

The blacksmith who was taken by Mr. Briefe was on the back street of the shopping street without a sign.The products are lined up, but it is somewhat close to the workshop.

Looking out, there are quite a few strange weapons.There are some shops in the Labyrinth City that deal in rare weapons, but there are many more strange shapes here.There are many things I don't know how to use just by looking at them.I know it's not for humans, but I've never seen a monster with such a weapon.

Speaking of which, the clerk is also strange.This is supposed to be Monster City, but for some reason it's a dwarf.Even in Monster City, it's a dwarf when it comes to blacksmithing.

"Oh, it's tough. I brought in new customers."

"I've told you so many times, I'm not here for business!!... are you human?I mean, it's Watanabe. "

"Oh, do you know about the old devil?After all, are you a celebrity if it's a front? "

"That's because you... wanted to hit me once when I met you."

No, why? I don't remember getting hit by the first person I met.

"Um, did I do something?"

"I didn't do anything directly.A lot of people quit my clan because of you. Fucking nuisance! "

I'm talking about my clan or some kind of adventurer clan master.But I still don't know what you're talking about.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember."

"I don't know - but there are a lot of people who say they're quitting and going to the Dragon World.It seems that Augil, who quit suddenly at first, was instigated by the cyber idiot, but it seems that you are the central figure in the story leading up to it.Thanks to this, we are half closed! "

I don't know what Saigar is doing, but that doesn't have anything to do with it.I was certainly involved in that case, so I couldn't deny it.

"That bastard, he said something about me in a youthful way, and he'll be back soon.I've grown a little bit lately, and I'm so fucked up! "

I wonder if he's an old acquaintance. Sounds veteran.

"I'm sorry about Saigar-san... anyway.Please forgive me for buying something. "

"I didn't make a weapon for humans!! Buy it from the front!Outside! I'll punch you in the face!! "

"Are you okay? If the devil beats you up, you won't get eaten?"

"Stop it! Oh no, in this case it's a shame!! Damn, what is it called Charataurus Watanabe, today is bad day?I want you to do as much as you want in Monster City. "

Was it just looking for an unsatisfactory opening, or was it finished with a curse?It may be the character of the earth to speak loudly and behave roughly.He's a stubborn father who only hits his apprentice in the head, saying he doesn't like it.

"So what can I do for you, Chala?I don't think you can make another weird weapon. "

"No, repair.The handle is broken. "

"You're going to break because you're replacing a blunt weapon!! You're a boomerang, so throw it!Oh, that's enough. Leave it around.I'll fix it... so what's your Watanabe line? "

"I was walking nearby, so I brought him on a tour."

"No way!? Do you know where you are?!I can't believe the Adventurer on the front is walking meaninglessly!! "

"No, Mr. Brief is right. It's really just a tour."

"I don't know what's going on!Damn it, I don't know what these guys mean!! Who's the briefcase!? This guy's a boomerang! "

I don't know why I'm here either.It seems that Dwarf is in a saturated state with a lot of confusion. I'm so short of breath.

I had no choice but to explain it from the beginning.

"... do you mean something? You just really came to sightseeing and happened to be brought here by a guy who couldn't get through."

"Because it's a Damus project, I'm sure things aren't normal."

"I've never met him, but he seems like a desolate person.Everything sounds possible. "

Although I feel like I'm here following a mysterious trail, I was completely convinced when I explained what happened to Damus.Even if I've never met him, it seems to convey the ruin.

But have you ever seen anything quite ancient?Actually, is there a good number of such people?

By the way, I was able to get to know Mr. Dwarf a little bit.He is a C-ranked adventurer and seems to be a Clan Master of the Clan.It seems that the origin of the "Black Iron Shop" is arranged with the initials of the real name, but because the name is long and difficult to remember, is everyone calling it the clan name Kurogane?

I thought it was Kurogane again, but since the first name of the long real name seems to be confused with my manager in Kukurgan, I think Kurogane is fine now.

"So, why did Mr. Kurogane go blacksmithing in Monster City?"

It's a hobby.

Oh no, it's super simple.

"If you make all the similar things, your arms will rust.Come over here when you have time to make equipment for monsters.There are a lot of clues over there, so I can't make it on my own.Especially my wife and Submas. "

"But you're a clan master, right?I feel like I'm free to do it. "

"Heh! The most inconvenient part of my clan is Klamas.Remember, if you're going to do Klamas, too.After that, it sounds heavy like my hammer. "

"Oh, let's have a hammer showdown. I'm pretty good at it, aren't I?"

"I'm not going to fight Boomelantaurus with my powers!Even if I look like this, I'm a craftsman!! "

As you can see.Well, it probably means I'm not a full-time combat adventurer.This is a relatively adventurous class in the tree, but the essence of it is production.I don't know about Krogane's clan, but Augil's clan would have been a semi-made clan.Such a standing position is not strange at the top.

"But that's what the blacksmith does."

"What are you talking about? It's only natural.

"No, it's not my real job, but I know a blacksmith, and when I saw him fix it, I used magic to fix it without using a hammer or anything like that."

The weapons we use are basically finished.Although it involves personalized adjustments and repairs, the production phase is not visible.If you dare say so, Radine is equivalent to us, but in his case, his main job is maintenance or adjustment of electronic components, and in the sense of production, he can only assemble them carefully.They don't make materials, but it's the outside world that's shaping them.

Gowen is not yet in the blacksmith class, and next time he becomes a marginal blacksmith, he becomes Asha.In other words, the only blacksmith I touched when I came to the Labyrinth City was on the occasion of the 90th Anniversary.

Well, I suppose it would be if I fixed it with Smithy Magic.... well, you've only been in this city about a year.I don't think it's funny if I don't know. "

"I don't know because I'm not a full-time job, but repairing it by hand is quite a hassle, isn't it?If it's going to be over soon, that's better. "

"I'm not motivated to demonstrate here, but he's just reproducing what he can do with magic.I don't know much about repairs, but I can't make things I've made myself, and if I rely on them all, my arms get rusty.Depending on the accuracy of the magic, no matter how skilled it is, the performance is about 20% less than when you hit it by hand. "

"Really?"

"Why are you more responsive, cow?I explained it to you before! "

Really?

"Are you serious..."

Yes. I was simply wondering if I could do something about the cost of the materials plus the labor cost if I could make them with magic, but is that the case?

"You're familiar with the process, including the materials, and you don't normally fail.It's like a chase experience at super high speed, so it's a few dozen ants for making and practicing, but if you're actually trying to make something good, it's natural to hit it with your hands.Not just blacksmiths, but all production magic is like that. "

"With the same weapon, the price difference can be severe for performance....."

"I wonder if it's blacksmithing magic.Of course, a decent blacksmith would have made adjustments, but monsters made with magic can have problems in areas that are difficult to understand.This substitute can't compromise because the subtle difference is fatal, and even as an adventurer, you don't want to risk your life on such a monkey. "

I'm sure you'd like to use something a little better to fight on the front lines.I thought it was a business that successfully shook the mood around there, but there was a good reason.

"However, it's not necessarily easier to handle than Smithing Magic.I don't know how it works, but sometimes it doesn't work out anyway. "

Hmm? I've heard that before.

"From the original strength, the result is worse than expected, on the contrary, the result is much better than by hand, there are things that can be done quite differently these days."

"That might be my right arm or Yuki's poison rabbit.Especially since it seems to be exclusively for me. "

"Oh, special equipment. Recently, I've heard that it's a mutation that we can't do without magic production.The examples themselves are so few, I've never made them either. "

Even if it is exclusive equipment, it is not that I can not equip it.Anyone can wear it just by wearing it.This is the same status limit as the gear, meaning I can't activate the child's right arm without me.

If it is equipped by someone other than me, "Size Adjustment" will not work, and "Monstrous Power" will not be activated.Based on the history of the acquisition, I think there is something else, but even if there is, it can't be activated by anyone other than me.

It seems that Asha and the blacksmith who made this one were also confused, and it may be the first time that the equipment was specially designed.

"That's why a blacksmith always needs training.There are things like sex, but there are aspects to jumping to new materials as well as wanting to increase your repertoire and improve your overall technology.Well, some of them are reasonable enough to use it in a camp on the front lines.If you look at me as an adventurer, I'm not wrong. "

"Mr. Asha... I heard that Archelia Growetina will repair all her troops' gear while fighting."

"The exercise of magic in battle must be the culmination of the Smithy Magic.I can't do it by hand.However, Archery's art is like a kind of craftsmanship, so no one can imitate it.If you use it like a cage battle event, you can understand it while you're fighting. "

After all, is it a pretty advanced technology?I thought it was more systematic, so I thought there was a way to use it, but when I heard the story, I didn't know what it meant, so I was doing advanced things.

"That's why it's a hobby for me to make equipment for monsters in this way.Though for training, Submus would beat me up if I made all these weird monkeys. "

Ah, was that what you were talking about?

"Don't forget!?"

I was able to hear unexpected stories when I wasn't expecting them at all.I can even say that it's more like a lecture than a tour of Monster City itself. Smithing Magic I don't suppose it's a newcomer's game either.

After listening to the conversation like that for a while, I tried a strange weapon with Mr. Brief and listened to Mr. Kurogane's lecture, and time quickly passed.

By the time I realized it, it was over an hour old, but I didn't hear from you, so I thought you might not have left it behind, but it seems that Yuki enjoyed the supermarket with them.

Starting with seasonings I had never seen before, I bought maniac but user-friendly ingredients, and eventually for some reason I bought pennants in the souvenir corner.I think it's fine because it's Damus' money, but I don't know why that happened.

Oh, surprisingly interesting, Dungeon City.

On the way back to the transfer facility, Yuki could say that the sightseeing was also a success.I think Yuki was only a supermarket and not a city, but it's a small thing.

"Holy shit... it looks like you enjoyed it more than I thought."

"At first, I wondered what would happen."

Damus and Dirk were already waiting for us at the transfer facility.Dirk is a thoughtful face to say that he had something to do, but that's probably the case with the Damus project.

So, what's the continuation of the course?

"Isn't it okay if it's over?Honestly, I don't care, I'll make a report. "

You said it didn't matter.That may not matter from Damus.

"I don't care about the training, but I have one last place to go."

"Did you just take Dirk?"

"Well, it was up to him to show it to you."

"... it's not directly related, and maybe it's my case, but Watanabe-san might want to check it out."

What kind of creepy guy is that?

"I don't think this is going to happen, but I'm sure it's an important secret that won't even reveal its existence to the intelligence services."

I don't think it's a good idea to take him there.Well, Dirk must have judged it, and there's no point in going there.

"So where are you going?"

Negative 100 floors.

Normally, I was told where to go that seemed to be absolutely isolated.

[Infinite corridor minus 100 floors]

And then Lotte got involved, and the five of us headed for the transfer facility.

The current position is not known at all because of the direct transfer gate, but it can eventually be transferred to the front of a familiar cylinder.

The usual empty space with white backgrounds everywhere but the cylinders.It looks like the reader would slap me if I painted it in the open of the cartoon.

"Administrators are the areas where Infinite Corridor Administrators can use, right?I don't have anything, but I think we're using it for something here, too. "

I haven't heard the details, but it seems that the individual dungeons of the labyrinth city are also present in the negative stratum in terms of coordinates.

"I don't need enough to use the full functionality of the Labyrinth City.Negative layers are almost everywhere like this.Move down from here. "

I thought there might be no shit down the infinite corridor, but right after Damus said that, there was a hole in the ground and an escalator followed.It's the usual kind of performance.

"Actually, it was at a harder coordinates.I built a direct route with a rear attachment. "

"Does that mean it was there?"

"I don't know when it started.I think it was before my predecessor, and maybe it happened from the beginning. "

Damus starts explaining where he's going, getting off with an escalator that's pretty sudden and suddenly going to fall off his feet.

"... triggered by Erica Edenfelde."

The name that popped up suddenly sounded like a heart jump.

"Do you remember the email she gave me?"

"... you and Elsie were the only ones who knew."

I didn't read the e-mail itself, but I thought you said something to prove it was authentic.

"Yes, it was to prove, on the surface, that she was a future person.Including the information Elsie of the Future would have supplemented.But when I looked back at it later, the contents were a little strange.As far as the background was concerned, Elsie's writing contained content that she would not have known at the time before leaving, even though she would not have returned from the future.When I read it, I thought you might have contacted the future and prepared it, but it's impossible. "

Certainly not. I can imagine that he may have used the "Gate of Souls" to access the past, but there is no way back beyond the third gate.This is how I can do it, because it's a backhand technique that uses the causal modification of the Spider.Unless you do what you didn't do, the decomposition of the soul that happens at the third gate is irreversible.

That shouldn't be possible, even with Reanasa.Even if I can, I don't think I will be in contact with the future until I take such a huge risk.

"It's just speculation, but it's possible that Elsie of the future was somehow informed about singularities."

"... what is it?"

"I have no idea where it is.However, there is another recording medium that you developed when you fought Ibara.I thought it was something that Elsie had prepared beforehand.If we don't have the information in advance, we can't do that. "

…………

However, it is too convenient to call it a miracle to embody the S6 shadow.If there was a trick, it would be more natural.

But what... certainly, given the situation, it would only be possible for Elsie, but I feel uncomfortable there. It's not like that.

"Then I thought there might be something in the email I received at that time.I double-checked the e-mail with suspicion and found it.It was a very clever and sophisticated encryption. "

"Is that where you're going?"

"That's one of them.Actually, not all the ciphers have been decrypted yet.Elsie is trying to decipher herself, but he seems to have a slow level of encryption. "

Do you solve the encryption you prepared for the future yourself?What a strange composition.

"Even if I knew the coordinates that came out of the encryption, it was really hard to find them again.I hid it cleverly too... so don't get there soon. "

I saw the end of a long escalator.

The other three did not speak at all while riding the escalator.I wondered why I was accompanying you to Lotte.

The way down was a very strange space.

It's not so wide, but it's still about 100 meters square, and it looks like a real legislature, including up and down.

The walls and floors that you don't know what are made of are engraved with geometric patterns, and you can see some magical movement.However, no further information can be read through the eyes of the Spider.

And while the room itself is a large space, the structure is just a familiar black cylinder in the middle of the room and a statue surrounding it.

Damus began to walk toward the cylinder as a matter of course, so we will follow it.

However, there is no reaction even when approaching the cylinder.If it were other cylinders, even the ones in the nameless management layer would have shown something.

The nine statues around them are just statues as far as I can see.If there is a feeling of discomfort, it means that it is like a human being.Placed in such an important place, everything looks like a human being.

"... what is this place after all?I know it sounds important. "

I still don't understand why you brought us here.No, not directly to us, maybe Dirk needed to see it, but it makes sense to decide to show it anyway.

"I found it, but I know very little about it.So far, only a few words have been directly engraved.The 100th floor seems to be in every world, so there's probably no big deal. "

"... you're writing something on the statue plate. I can't read it."

Yuki looked at the statue and murmured.It did appear that there was something embedded in the plate.

"It's just a name on the plate.It's not encrypted or anything, so I can read it normally with Translation. "

That said, it appears that Damus exercised some skill.As always, the message is not displayed, and the magical flow of multiple disguises is difficult to discern even for me now.

"Ah, I can read."

Apparently, it was a skill or something that imparted the effect of Translation, and I also understood the meaning of the letters written on the plate.It's just...

"One referee's silver law, Cassel?"

Yuki's murmuring name sounded familiar somewhere.It won't be tied if they don't tell me, but I remember it as soon as I hear it.

"... the Carsel Project"

It's the remnants of a lost world.It's a trace of a world that was supposed to be here, erased by this hand.

"Apparently, these guys called themselves the Referees.It would be nice if they built a system like this named God.... "

This system?

Yuki couldn't help but tilt her neck.Suddenly they brought me here, and I'm the only one who can guess about this place, Dirk.

"... here's the record of the infinite corridor developers sleeping.It seems that this statue belongs to an important person involved in development. "

It is, in a sense, equivalent to saying that this place is the backbone of a world of countless connections.

"The infinite corridor itself is a system that creates God.It would be strange for developers to call themselves. "

It was Dirk who added the supplement.At some point, he moved to the back of the cylinder and looked up at the statue there.... that means this statue...

"That's what Erica was talking about back then."

That said, the plate to which Dirk pointed was engraved [order of the six referees, Dirk Cassel Froventarnourhazen].

In this way, the new phase starts beating extremely quietly, without even feeling a hunch.

It is a future that no one has observed.The roots of the infinite corridor were beginning to move in a world where even the presence of paranormal was unknown.
