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

Nishino, who confirmed his "Email" skills, immediately told his buddies about it.

Send an 'email' to everyone, make it available, and anyone with more than one SP will be instructed to get it immediately.

(In the end, six people, including me, were able to get it...)

The rest of the members did not have any points left, so this happened at the next level.

Next, check the sending list of emails.

(The 'list' seems to be... just the person I've met since I got it...)

Get 'Email' - no, I guess the person I met will appear in my address book from the exact state in which it was made available.

I thought if I could send an email to my buddies who have strayed, it doesn't seem like that convenient skill.

Only those who first emailed themselves, and those they met since 'Email' became available, appear on the list.

To put it in more detail, it seems that the person you see directly with your eyes, and those who come within a five meter radius of you, will appear on your email list.

(Oh, well)

Even as Nishino, I don't have that much hope.

I just thought if I could, I'd make some money.

(But even if you don't know your name, it's good to see your name on the list. Looks like we could use it to negotiate)

Knowing the other person's name makes it a fine negotiating card.

People who use pseudonyms, as well as the first person they meet, are impressed that they have an advantage in information.

But that's just added value.

The best thing about 'Email' is apart.

(This skill will make fighting monsters much easier now)

In modern times, communication technology is a strategic imperative and a trump card.

Accidental assaults, ambushes, and collaboration vary in precision depending on whether or not you have this skill.

(Thanks, Roppo. Thanks to you, we're one step ahead)

Then Nishino, with his buddies, discussed new tactics and formations using 'Mail'.

The network should also be thorough in case of deviation.

If we do well, we'll be able to be one out of the head more than the rest of the group.

That would make it easier to move in the future.

(When you're done discussing it, you'll rendezvous with Rokka)

Nishino specified the meeting place and time and sent an email to Rokka.

And then a few minutes later...

"All right, then it's time to leave"

My body rested enough, and I stuffed it in my backpack as much as I could with a can of preserve.

I don't need you here anymore.

"Nishino-san, are you sure you want to leave? I still have too much food and stuff..."

Shibata is going to regret it, but Nishino shakes his head to the side.

"You have no choice. This isn't the right place to be."

The location is the same, but this convenience store is too small for this number of people to interact with.

You should base yourself properly and then come back here again to collect food.

"Then I'll rendezvous with Rokka. Everybody's on the way to the meeting. - Hmm?

At that time, he felt uncomfortable unexpectedly.

That's from your feet.

(... vibration?

Katakata and.

The ground is shaking.

(Earthquake?...... no, no!

At that moment Nishino had a fiercely unpleasant feeling.

"Guys, get out of the convenience store now! Come on!"

"He-"

I don't know what they said, they stop on the spot.

It was right after that.

Cracks ran and parts of the floor made noise and collapsed.

"Become...!?"

Suddenly, there's a big hole in the floor.

There's a dark, deep, hole as if it even leads to hell.

"What the...?

The floor of the store was brittle by chance, no way.

A peek in the back made something glow in the back of the hole.

There's something here.

I heard a creepy noise from the back of the hole.

"Hih..."

Who was it that raised your voice?

It was a giant ant who showed up out of the hole.

A giant ant, also about the size of a person, crawls out of the hole next with Walla Walla.

"Uhhhhhhhhhh!

They scream.

"Run!"

Skinny the words of Nishino, they move out as if they had cut a weir.

However, one of the boys who had missed his escape stuck on the floor.

"Ah..."

"Gessy!?"

Nishino screams.

The rest of us, we saw him.

At the end of his gaze he saw countless ants trying to flock to him who had fallen.

"Ugh..."

The boy, known as Geshi, looks at the looming ants and gives them the look of the end of the world.

Saving him like that was the inexorable Osama who was running in front of him - Hachiro Gotokawara.

When he took his weapon, Marutai, which he had set up in the magazine corner, he threw it at the ants all he wanted.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

"Huh - old man!?"

Pushed by the momentum of Marutai, several ants are pushed back into the hole.

At that gap Goshogawara rushes over to the boy.

"Stand fast! Come on!"

"Ahhh!

Hold the old man's hand offered, and the two go outside.

"Are you all right?

"I can manage..."

"It's okay."

"Phew, phew..."

The store was already overflowing with countless ants.

Countless red eyes capture Nishino and the others who went outside.

"That... monster, right?

"Of course, you can't keep an ant like that..."

Killer Ant...... No, should I say Giant Ant?

I don't care about the name.

Anyway, now it's a priority to get through this crisis.

"Everybody, block your ears!

One step, Nishino, who came forward, raises his voice.

Understanding what that meant, they immediately blocked their ears.

"-" Ants! Don't move the spot. 'Huh!

In a moment, a few ants were trying to get themselves out of the convenience store and stopped moving.

As if Nishino's words had arrived.

No, actually, you're right.

This is Nishino's skill 'Orders'.

Skills acquired when selecting the occupation 'Commander'.

It has the effect of making the person who listened to his or her voice act exactly like that.

The content that can be ordered depends on the level of skill, and the greater the level difference between the subject and himself, the higher its success rate. In addition, the more "self-harm" and "discussion with each other" are actions that are contrary to the will of the other, the less successful they are.

And the more orders you have, the more 'orders' you can give to multiple subjects.

"All right, we're getting out of here now!

"Ya, don't you fight?

"You're forced to. Look, only a few of them stopped moving."

Just three, to be exact.

Behind it you can see dozens more ants.

Once an order has been made, the next order cannot be made until the subject's effect has expired.

Besides, we can't deal with that number on a boulder by the Nishino nowadays.

(With Rokka, we might have talked differently...)

If she had been here, the point of the attack, we could have fought more than each other, even in that number.

But it doesn't make sense to talk about people who aren't here.

"Looks like your buddy stopped moving and kept us on guard."

Fortunately, the ants won't look at us from the store, but they won't try to step out of it.

I guess I'm wary of Nishino's skills.

Thank you, honestly. If they didn't mind coming at me, that could have been the end of it.

(On the contrary, you mean you have enough intelligence to be alert...)

Ants are famous as social insects.

If that ecology is also applied to monsters, it can be a very troublesome opponent.

"It would also be the limit of about ten more seconds to be stopped. Let's get out of here."

"Ugh, nod!

If the 'order' ants move, they'll attack themselves instantly.

Understanding the evil of the minutes, they immediately followed the scene.
