"Safe... Zone?
To the words, Nishino unexpectedly doubted his ears.
I guess Shibata and Goshogawara sitting next to each other were the same.
He opens his mouth and exposes himself to a dumb surface.
"Oh, monsters can't come in here. That's how it's set up."
……
Incredible, Nishino thought.
Game-like savepoint?
No, now this guy said 'set'.
(Create a safety zone... No, the skills to set, or the profession...?
Governance, management, no, or juncture?
Various speculations come to mind but there is no certainty.
"... you look incredible. I can't help it. I was too at first."
What makes me giggle is Fresh Water, a secretary-style woman sitting next to Fujita.
Feeting together in a calm way, she is exactly an adult woman, but Fujita laughs when she sees it.
"No, Shimizu, you were more surprised than they were. It's a lie!! I was crying out loud."
"Hey, you don't have to say that now! Besides, Mr. Nijo cried more than I did!
"No, Kamome-chan's a cute tease."
"What do you mean! Then it's like me... ah"
So Shimizu noticed Nishino's gaze and the bat missed his face looking bad.
It's hard to follow. Raise your glasses and correct your posture.
No heart or slightly red cheeks.
"And anyway, what he's saying is true. No monsters come in here. So rest in peace."
"Um... what the hell is that..."
Nishino's words did not last until the end.
Before that, Van! and opened the door with momentum, because one old man came into the reception room.
"Huh!?
Nishino accidentally set himself up.
And look at the person who came in.
An old man of good stature.
I can tell that I am old, but the atmosphere that surrounds me doesn't make me feel it at all.
(I feel like I've seen it somewhere rather than...?
Where would it have been?
I try to remember, but the tired Nishino brain says, "You don't want to work anymore!" He refused to recall.
"Whoa! You're back, Soichiro! Looks like you're safe! I'm worried about you!
"... good job, Mayor Uesugi"
In Fujita's words, Nishino finally remembered.
Oh, yeah. This man was the mayor of this town, he said.
It is true that he won his fourth term this year, and with his luxurious looks and remarks, as well as his solid political skill, he also has a thick trust from the townspeople, whose visibility, support is said to be higher than that of governors and poor politicians.
I mean, actually, shouldn't this guy be the governor? I think he was as good a person as I think...
"Uh, Nishino and you know about faces, right? This man is the mayor of this town and his name is--"
"Uesugi Kansei. Nice to meet you, young people. And welcome! Welcome to City Hall!
The mayor, who laughs lavishly, somehow showed signs resembling Fujita.
I said the youngsters, by the way, but it seems that one Osama mixed up was normally through. Hachiro Goshogawara, 55, is a little uncut.
"I mean, Mayor... why are you here?
"It would be decided because I was free! I can't help but lose my body while I'm stuck in the office!
"No, I'm free..."
Huh - sigh, Fujita pushes the cigarette against the ashtray.
"I'd like you to understand that area. In case anything happens to you, we're done?
"Um, I know that. I'm not going out there, and only walking around is in the bureau. I want to work for everyone who works for me!
"... Soka"
Then Fujita sees Shimizu, who was next door, hoping he would have ears to listen to.
When she nodded cocoon, she offered the mayor the convenience store bag she had put aside.
"Mayor. This is the demon stone I got from this exploration. Deliver."
"Oh, this is so helpful"
Upon receiving the bag, Mayor Uesugi is in a good mood.
"Now, then, let's say that Noun will go and work the others. Oh, and Fujita, the bed is vacant now. You can talk to the young man, but let him rest first. See you then!
That said, the mayor left like a storm.
For a few seconds, silence dominates the reception room.
"... you were an amazing person"
"Sort of."
"So, here's the rest of the story -"
"No, wait a minute"
Fujita controls Nishino's words with his hands.
"Let's get this over with for now. First, you need to get some rest."
"Huh? No, but..."
Halfway through this.
I still have something to ask you.
Or haven't you heard almost anything yet?
I thought so Nishino, but suddenly I was stunned that fatigue was pushing me.
"Huh..."
"Hey, are you okay, Mr. Nishino?
Supported by Shibata, who was next door.
"Look, it's not impotent. Is the body too much of a limit?... No, well, I didn't give him a break right away. Are we responsible too? Sorry."
"No... it's not Fujita's fault..."
"Anyway. Rest first. We can talk later."
……
There was no other option but to snort, and the Nishinos honestly followed Fujita's words.
Afterwards, Nishino and the others were guided to the hypnotic room.
Though cheap for work, the comfort of a long time bed was enough to put them to sleep.
And then a few hours later...
The evening when the sun was about to set.
Nishino woke up.
(You've been asleep for about three hours...)
Looking at the next bed, Shibata and Goshogawara still seem to be asleep.
To be honest, I still haven't slept enough myself, but it's also a shame to waste my time for nothing.
There's no one else around, and let's get the work done that we can.
"... Status Open"
Nishino opens his status plate and sees the item 'Email'.
(Fujita Souichiro, Simiz Yuna, Wesgi Kansai...... are they all real names)
The names shown in the address book go hand in hand with the things they named.
Apparently it's not a fake name.
(Aren't you alert, or don't you need to be alert... well, you're on hold)
Next check unread.
I've been getting a lot of texts from his people.
Based on the content of the email and the time it was sent, it looks like everyone is still safe.
Apparently, he's lurking near City Hall.
(... would you join us?)
Nishino sends an email to his buddies saying, 'Come here, pretending to be a coincidence.'
Fujita has promised to help us find our people.
Then even if they visit here from themselves, they shouldn't treat it underneath.
(Six flowers later)
Send me an email too.
The rendezvous time has passed.
I also got an email from Rokka asking what happened.
Send her the reason for the delay in replying, including where she is now and the information she knows.
(… Safe Zone, or)
As I said earlier, to infer from conversations with Fujita and the mayor, it's likely that the mayor has the skills to create some sort of safety zone.
(Mayor or... maybe governance or exchange skills?
Nishino recalls his initial acquirable profession.
To survive, he chose 'Commander', but there were other professions such as' Adventurer ',' Student ',' Chairman of the Commission 'and' Politician '.
I still wondered what it was like to be in a world like this, but if my guess was correct, those professions that I didn't think had anything to do with fighting monsters might also have some vital skills to survive.
Well, as verified, you can't try it yourself, and you just have to ask someone else.
That area will be a challenge for the future.
(Is this the place for now? Well, call someone. - Hmm?
Well, that's where he glances at the little table by the bed.
"... rice balls?
On the table were rice balls and a pet bottle of tea.
The writing is pinched under the plate.
- There's no poison in it, so don't worry, Fujita.
That's what it said.
What the hell, that guy?
Doubt yourself a little, be vigilant, don't forgive your heart.
(Well, I've been thinking a lot. I'm more of an idiot.)
... No, I shouldn't be wrong.
In this situation where you don't know when you're going to be scratched in the neck, it's easier to trust someone else.
I'm supposed to...
Guru......
My stomach rang.
……
Nishino carries the rice balls to his mouth.
The utensils were plum dried.
Nothing delicious.
The rice balls sold at the convenience store would be better.
Yet...
(Really... things are going crazy...)
When I realized it, I was obsessed and cheeky.
The taste crept strangely into his heart.
Fujita was in the parking lot.
Reminds me of the boys + old man I brought earlier, sprinkling smoke.
(... yeah, I'm carrying quite a lot of stuff...)
Not trusted.
I'm on guard.
That at first glance, I knew right away.
(You'd still be in high school......)
I wasn't a good 'eye' for a kid.
I don't know what happened, but I guess I've been diving through quite a bit of hell in the last five days.
I'm glad I could help out, but at the same time, I get a bad feeling.
(Do something about it...)
There's nothing you can do unless the other side opens your mind.
Face it one by one, you'll have to earn credit.
I promised I'd look for my people with me, and I'll try to attack them from around there first.
"Fujita, can I have a word?
"Hmm? What's up?
From the barricade, a man who was hitting the patrol rushes over here.
"No, there's two girls here who want me in here."
"Then why don't you let him in? You don't have to give me permission, do you?
"No, I have a weapon, and the kids say, 'Is there a student here named Nishino?' I'm going to ask. Sure enough, one of the guys Fujita brought in this morning wasn't that name..."
"Say that fast!
No, Fujita ran.
Just from the barricade guy, two girls were about to come down.
They're both pretty girls.
One looks like a gal with her blonde hair sidetailed.
I'm in uniform, so maybe I'm in high school.
He carries a backpack and hangs a hammer on his hips.
The other one has peachy hair, looks like a quiet looking girl.
This one isn't a uniform, it's hoodies in plain jeans and outfits like a man would wear, but above all, it would be a stupid big rifle on the back that caught my eye.
Where the hell did you get it?
(I have a weapon... What do you mean, these kids have skills too?
Nevertheless, you can't force me to take it away.
Fujita spoke to him to try not to irritate the other person.
"... you guys? Who does Nishino-kun know?
"That's right! I knew Nissy was here. Ah, good."
"He'd be resting in the dormant room right now. I'll show you if you like. Erm..."
"It's six flowers. Nice to meet you, Rokuka Aisaka. There you go. - Nat, too."
"... I'm Natsu Ichinose. Best regards,"
"To Aisaka, Ichinose-chan? I'm Soichiro Fujita. Say hello."
When Fujita greets him, the two girls bow their heads.
"Well, let's take you to Nishino-kun."
Sooner than I thought, I think I could make good on my promise to him.
With that in mind, Fujita headed to the temporary sleeping room with the two girls.
