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

The three walk within City Hall.

Ho, ho, ho, ho. Rokka was looking at Kyoro Kyoro and the city hall.

"You've been in the office. I've never been in here before."

Well, it would be a less marginal place for a regular high school student.

No, it's a place where even ordinary people would never come if they didn't have some sort of errand, like a family registry or inheritance.

"I can't help it if you're about the age of a lady. I first came to the bureau about ten years ago to sign up for my number."

"Hmm, how old is Fujita?

"Forty-two this year"

"He's an old man."

"Hey, uh, Rick, you're rude."

"Ha ha! Good, good, nothing. From you students, we're old men in our forties."

Fujita laughs lavishly without looking particularly concerned.

Can I take the cigarette out of your chest pocket and smoke it? and get confirmation to the two of them and then light a fire.

"Aren't you quitting smoking in the bureau?

"Do you think there's someone who blames that right now?

"That's right."

"Nishino-kun is a little further away. Follow me."

Staring behind Fujita walking in smoke, he whines in such a voice that Roppo only sounds like Ichinose next door.

"... you've managed to infiltrate successfully."

"Yeah, but now it's nappy,“ Aisaka-san. ""

That's what she said - no, 'I' laughed niggly.

The scene goes back a few hours now -.

We were just off the coast of City Hall.

The task of giving Aka a slime went well and Aka regained her previous powers.

"Aka-chan, you're getting tired."

"Right."

I don't see any slime around me, and that would be enough already.

I open the status and see the party member item at the bottom.

Aka

Fake Slime LV5

The level was also higher than before.

Apparently, you can also gain experience by capturing slime.

"Aka, how's your body?

"…………"

He's doing great.

My body has also grown more than twice, and I am shaking my body a little better and better.

Increased levels also improved the width of Aka's "pseudomorphism".

The organism is still impossible, but otherwise it can be transformed into complex objects such as motorcycles and automobiles.

There are limitations on uptime, but you can also drive properly.

There's a size problem though, so it's only bikes or even light cars that can be simulated, but that would still help too much. He doesn't even need fuel.

"Well, it's been quite a while...... Mr. Aisaka, did you get an email from Nishino?

"Hmm, nothing's come of it yet. Really, what's going on?

Either the monster attacked you or you're being chased... either way, you're definitely in such a tight situation that you can't reach him.

I don't think he's dead to have a name on the list... Hmm? How does this feel...?

"Both of you, come here for a second"

"What's wrong, Mr. O'Hara?

"What's wrong with you?

"There was a reaction to 'Sovereignty'. Somebody's coming."

I hold both hands and dive into the edge of the coast.

"I..."

It was four men and women who showed up.

They look familiar, too.

(... do you know Mr. Kudo?

Mr. Ichinose, who was next door, asks in a low voice.

(Yeah, well... I'm a colleague of the company)

Although it comes with the original.

It was my company colleagues walking on the beach.

Erjo has Kanai... I miss him.

I feel like a long time ago, even though it was only a few days ago.

I mean, why are those guys here?

"- Nah. I knew -"

"- Could it be? But - Senior - Smell -"

"Hey, - Back - City Hall -"

"- Then -"

It's a little hard to hear.

Are you looking for something?

Like a ship or something?

That stupid big golem is nearby, and will it travel to a remote island or something?

(Of the four, one looks like an official in the bureau)

(You know what I mean?

(Yeah, I've seen you several times)

I've been in and out of the office quite a bit.

At that time, he was an official who was kind enough to respond.

Equipped with a scoop and yellow helmet.

(Good for you, Oh-ho. My colleagues are alive.)

(... Yep, well...)

I hammer appropriately, but to be honest, I didn't get any emotions.

(Probably because I don't care...)

The same thing happened at the mall, but apparently I don't really care what I'm not interested in.

- One who is closer than many others.

Momo, Aka, and Ichinose are many times more important than their colleagues at work, who were just upstairs for me.

If you ask me which one to take: their lives or those of Mr Ithinoses, I will choose the latter without hesitation.

(Oh, you're leaving)

(Right)

Looks like you didn't discover what you were looking for.

Mr. Nijo is oddly squishy.

In the end, they left unaware of us.

I heard the word City Hall, and maybe it's based there.

(City Hall……)

I just saw a puff from the roof of the building, but there were quite a few signs of people.

Besides, they also built barricades and moat-like objects around them, which would work well as a base against monsters.

(Well... if you're only dealing with regular monsters, though)

In High Oak, Dark Wolf, and that stupid big golem opponent, in that degree of defense, it would hardly make sense.

We're done being broken through with force.

(But... don't worry about it...)

Not my colleagues, that city hall guy.

I look at City Hall.

(... I knew it. Something 'weird'...)

Unlike the 'unpleasant feeling' where hostility and crisis sensing sound.

What should I describe it as?

Something like this... sounds like a mockery... strangely reassuring...

No, you're not.

This is, yes - 'unpleasant feeling' too much.

Yeah, that expression sticks.

It's strange to say it yourself, but that's what it feels like.

"Mr. Kudo, what's wrong?

"Oh, no... just a thought"

Mr. Ichinose puts his neck up.

Then this time, Rokka spoke out.

"Oh, we both got an email from Nissy."

"" - Huh! "

Me and Mr. Ichinose turn to Rokuka.

"Is that true?

"Yeah, wait, I'll read it out"

Rokka looks at her status plate with a shiatsu...

"Er, what..." Rokka, I'm sorry I'm late to hear from you. I had a little trouble getting in touch. But you're safe. I'm at City Hall with Shibata and Goshogawara's old man right now. The officials there helped me where the monster was attacking me. We are acting with them as they are. The level of the staff here is quite high. Besides, I'm not sure yet, but they're saying this is a “safe zone” where the monsters don't come by. This information cannot be ignored. We need to know more. If you're nearby, go for City Hall. Let's rendezvous there. I'm talking about you and the rest of your people. Perhaps you can let me in. There are a lot of monsters of ants in the nearby mall. There's plenty of them, and be careful. If you meet him, run away without hesitation. And with our collaborators, please get this far safely. I wish you a good fight.

Rokka finishes reading her email in one breath and exhales furiously.

The text is a long, but terminal, easy-to-understand e-mail like you Nishino.

It is very different from this one's spam mail.

"…" J

"What is it, Mr. Itinose?

"No, nothing..."

It was in vain a sharp Mr. Ichinose.

"And anyway, I'm glad you're okay Nishino."

"Yeah, good."

Rokuka relieves her breasts.

Unlike me, you seem normally happy.

"And it said something that bothered you a lot."

"Right......"

Mr. Ichinose nods.

Ant monster herds, plus a safe zone.

Nishino, I still don't know if your information is a lie or a truth, but if this is true, I can't ignore it.

I look at the two of you.

Let's head to City Hall.

Either way, it doesn't hurt to look into it.

Gathering information is important.

But I keep going.

"It's just me and Mr. Aisaka who are going. Mr. Ichinose, please keep an eye on City Hall in a nearby building with Momo."

"Heh? With Doyuko? Aren't you coming with me?

A question mark comes to Rokka's head.

"Yeah, I'd like to go with a different action this time"

"Why? I heard that before, but it's harder to be noticed that Nat's skills are in the building, isn't it? You'd better stay with me."

Certainly Rokka's opinion is especially so.

Mr. Itinose's "perception inhibition" can be described as an intrusion into the building and a more powerful skill in gathering information.

But.

"I can't do that."

Me and Mr. Itinose look down sorry.

"So what?

"Mr. Ichinose-- he's vulnerable to the crowd."

"............ what?

"Finally... if she stays in the crowd for a long time, she throws up"

That's already glitter with the flicker.

"So... I can't"

I missed Rokuka without being able to stay.

When I was in school, I managed to work hard with the energy of looking for Rokka, but I wouldn't be able to keep on rocking for two days.

Her spirit can't stand it.

If you're bad, there's no chance of anything more than glitter.

".................. nappy?

Rokka sees Ichinose.

Mr. Ichinose nods silently.

Rokka glanced up at the sky big and said something.

"........................ Sooka"

Apparently, you convinced me.

Then you have no choice, do you?

I'll move on.

"Next, when you infiltrate… I'm going to be Mr. Ichinose"

"What?"

"Mr. Kudo, that's..."

Rokka tilts her neck.

Looks like Mr. Itinose realized what that meant.

"Yeah, I'm going to use the newly acquired ninja technique - The Art of Change."

"The Art of Change".

A newly acquired ninja skill that can literally change your appearance.

I consume 15 MPs per transformation, but instead I can remain that way until I solve the surgery without time limitations. Cospa is better than splitting in terms of prolonged use.

Convenient technique, but of course there are limitations.

My 'Art of Change' is the opposite of Aka, and I can't be 'other than a living thing'.

Even more distant creatures from their size - such as rats and whales - are impossible.

And there's a constraint that you can't transform unless you're someone you've "touched," and you can't use other ninjas during the transformation.

"Look at it"

I activate The Art of Change.

"Ooh!

"... wow"

With the smoke of Pong, my appearance changes and turns into Mr. Ichinose.

Become with her at all, not just her appearance, but her height and figure.

Even so, the only thing that changes is the 'flesh', so the outfit and gear remain intact.

So,

"Aka"

"... (sighs)"

Ask Aka to simulate it on the gun Mr. Itinose has.

Now you look completely Ichinose-san.

... the outfit is a man though.

"Awesome......, looks just like it"

……

Rokka nodded as impressed, and Mr. Ichinose stared at me in disguise.

"Yeah, this won't be a problem"

Nishino, your e-mail said 'with collaborators'.

That means you realize that Rokka is acting with someone.

And given your troubles at school, you're probably making the hit that it's Mr. Ichinose.

If you're Nishino, who is highly reckoned, you're going to be thinking that far.

Then the person he would have expected to some extent should be less alert than a stranger.

"Then let's go -"

"Wait a minute, please"

But I waited there from Mr. Itinose, but it took a while.

"What is it?

"Can the art of change be fine-tuned?

"... to? Uh, yeah, I can, but..."

"Well then..."

"Huh? Oh, yes. Copy that."

At Mr. Itinose's request, I make a part of my body just a little bigger.

Seeing that, Mr. Itinose nodded satisfactorily.

... Well, if she's satisfied, that's fine.

Oh, by the way, I'm not gonna use this skill to do anything horny or anything, am I?

You're usually rude to Mr. Itinose.

"Momo, I asked for Mr. Itinose."

"Wow!

Momo replies well.

Temporarily though, it's hard to split with Momo... it's really hard but I'm patient here.

When something happens to her, she needs a presence to protect her.

I stroke my moms to spare my goodbyes.

Then I stroked the momomo with Mr. Itinose for about fifteen minutes, and Rokka said, "Oh, hey, shall we go for a nice cut?," he said in a flat voice, after the scene where he cried.

And right now, Roppo and I are admirably undercover at City Hall.

Do you want to gather information and go?
