The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I’m Taking a Liking to This Life

36. It has a charm that I can't resist knowing

Look at the chest sitting in the middle of the intersection.

Suspicious...... too suspicious.

That's a trap, no matter how you look at it, right?

A trap, maybe a monster or something? A guy called Mimic.

But you're not responding to 'Hostile Sensing', 'Crisis Sensing', or 'Sovereignty'.

But I think it's that obvious...

"No response," on the contrary, I feel suspicious.

There is also the possibility of such 'skills to interfere with perception'.

At a certain point in time, "appraisal jamming" is a skill that can be predicted to be jamming.

"But it's also possible that a real chest..."

If it's real, what's in it?

Treasure or demon stone? Or weapons or something?

When I say I care, I care.

"Give it a try"

Move from the intersection to the position of blind spot and hide yourself.

In the meantime, I'll throw a stone.

I hit it.

No reaction.

"Momo."

"Wow."

Ask Momo to stretch out the 'shadow' and see if he can open it.

And the moment Momo's "Shadow" touched the crate -

"SHAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

The chest opened and a monster popped up looking like a yakari.

Obviously he has a bigger figure than a crate.

How did you get in there?

Law of Physics. Get to work.

"I mean, it's a monster after all..."

It's not a chest. It was mimic......

Damn, I thought it might be real. Give me back my expectations.

And the moment Mimic showed up, 'Hostility Sensing', 'Sovereign' reacted.

After all, he had 'jamming system' skills.

But if you get out of the chest, it doesn't seem to work.

"Shaaaaaaaaaaaaa............ huh?

When Mimic realized there was no prey around him, he said, "Is that it? ♪ I did the trick that felt like ♪

The trick is strangely adorable.

But monsters are monsters.

I will not condone it.

Where Mimic is, the range of effects in my item box.

- Crush it.

Earlier, a disrespectful heavy machine at the construction site is released towards Mimic.

Gucci, I heard a dull noise.

"You've earned experience."

I hear the voice of heaven.

Apparently Mimic died in the current blow.

That wasn't surprisingly a big deal.

Quickly retrieve the heavy machinery.

In Mimic's position, the brown demon stone was rolling.

When I put it in the item box it was labeled 'Mimic's Demon Stone (Extremely Small)'.

Threatening, as much as Goblin or Lesser Wolf?

Well, it was an obvious trap.

But if there's a 'pseudo' mimic besides a crate, it'd be a pain in the ass.

Nothing. A daily necessity - if you were 'pseudo' to a tance or a garbage bucket or something, the danger would jump all at once.

I've never been over there to be careful.

"Next, raise the level of 'Sensory' Skills…"

If the level of "Sovereignty" or "Crisis Sensing" increases, Mimic's fiction may also be visible.

It might have been better to keep it up that way than "physical strengthening" or "swordsmanship".

Allocation of skill points, maybe I should have thought about it a little bit more.

Well, I can't help regretting the past.

All you have to do is live.

"Well, let's go, Momo."

"Wow!"

Going for the home center again, we walked out.

- The stage moves to the Home Center.

Home center rest room.

There, students, led by Nishino, were gathered to discuss future policies.

On the table lay a map of the town, marked everywhere.

"Then Shibata and Ono split into two hands and search the perimeter. Securing food is a top priority, but don't be impotent. All right?"

"Ugly."

"Okay, I get it."

Shibata, who looks defective, and Ono, who looks weak with glasses, each reply.

Behind them are a few students refraining.

"And let's go find another shelter. If it seems safer than Coco, secure the route and travel there. If the other evacuees are ahead of us, it's a negotiation.... there could be a family of all of us. Good luck."

Pointing to the map, Nishino explains to everyone.

The assigned areas and routes were reasonable and agreeable to everyone.

The students nod.

"Then leave. Everybody asked for it."

"" "" Yes!

Answer well and the students of the exploration group leave the room.

"The rest of us, as always, are the defenses here. Let me also help the evacuees who got to the level yesterday. I leave the rotation to everyone. But don't get too nervous."

"" Copy that. ""

Respond and the rest of the members leave the room too.

All that's left are two gal-like high school girls with Nishino and her hair together in a sidetail.

"Has everyone gone... All right, then, me and Rokka, shall we go level up for the guys who haven't even reached the level yet? All right?"

"Uh, seriously? Wow - it stinks..."

The girl, known as Rokkawa, had a blatantly dissatisfied look.

"Don't say that... Of us, you're the strongest, and given the compatibility of your skills, it's best for me and you to be a pair. And you explained why yesterday? I need a little power now."

"Hmm, well, I know what Nissy's talking about, but come on..."

With her arms behind her head, the high school girl, known as Roppo, holds her mouth together.

When I say Nissy, it seems Nishino's nickname.

"Shigeki, the old man with that hand, even if he was forced to level up, said it was only a clump of legs. Especially with that bald uncle. I still don't think it's possible to kill a monster. Seriously, wussy."

……

"Then why don't you just make it look like an accident and fuck me? It's better for our experience."

"Six flowers!

Nishino yells at me, and Roppo gets hacked.

Put your hand on your mouth and look away sorry.

"Huh... Forget it now..."

"Don't talk about it again. That's not all anyone can know yet. If they find out, there's definitely a guy out there who crosses the line. That's all... no."

"... yeah, okay"

Nishino and Roppo leave the break room.

The look was tense somewhere.
