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

For a moment, I didn't know what they said.

Senior...? Did you just say Senior Koitz?

Impossible.

'Cause I look like Mr. Ichinose right now.

Confused.

The upset shakes my heart.

But such a gushing emotion settled to be repressed in the next moment.

The spirit becomes stable.

(Effect of 'psychotic abnormality tolerance' …)

Skills acquired when fleeing that giant golem.

Apparently, upset or confused will work. Thanks.

"... Um... haha, please let me go"

Play a weak girl who waves away desperately.

The two articles were hacked and let go of their hands.

"Huh? Oh, that...? Oh, I'm sorry! Different people!

I bow my head and apologize.

"I'm sorry. Um... there's someone I've been looking for, and I didn't see it well in the crowd, but I mean the trick, the atmosphere, the smell... and that's because I looked so much like the person I was looking for... I'm really sorry about that"

What, did I make a mistake...

Don't surprise me...... I thought you'd seen through the disguise and chilled out.

Hmm?... I mean, did he say something strange right now?

"What, you nagged me?

Rokka turns this way when she notices the noise.

I hide behind her and act frightened.

"Ah..."

Two stripes try to reach out to me reflexively, but Rokka-chan controls it.

"... you, who? Can I help you with our nappies?

Did you convey my act, Roku Hana and his vigilance stare at the two stripes in the open.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to do anything to that kid! Listen to me!

"Talk? What's the story? I don't even want to hear about him that scares our nuts? Magiusa, what are you doing?

I'm scared of Rokka.

He's a very docile voice, but this kid.

Hey, that's not a good kill for a high school girl. That's the monster, isn't it?

"Ah... uh, the..."

To the very force of Rokka-chan, the two Articles unexpectedly enter the scene.

You're shivering more than a freshman goat.

I mean, it's bad.

(Hey, Rokuka, please keep it down)

But this guy was trying to do something terrible to Nat, wasn't he? punch. Chi or die)

(No, no, he said he hasn't done anything. Please don't say anything noisy)

Seriously, I'm scared.

The light is out of Rokka's eyes.

(If you make any more noise, you get wasted attention)

This is the edge of the floor, and now we're all paying attention to the mayor, so it's not very noticeable, but it's not any better.

(Oh, well. I'm sorry, Nats- Oh, no. Oh no, you were in there... I totally forgot)

Hey, this kid, I'm turning into Mr. Itinose. I forgot to set it up.

Don't forget such an important thing.

(No, no, because - you're a good imitator of nappies - you're good. It was normal at first, but even I was so alike from the middle of nowhere that I would be illusory...)

Is that possibly the effect of getting 'acting'?

I knew this kid was sharp.

(Oh, I remember. Speaking of which, this guy was on the coast earlier. You're from a colleague at your company, right?

(Yeah, that's right. But as I told you, I'm not going to reveal who I am. I want to go to peace here)

(All right)

I crouch down and reach out to the two Articles.

"The... oh, I'm sorry. Can you stand?

"Yeah... thanks"

Bijo stands up and stares at my face again.

Just look away from me.

"Hih, it looks like you were wrong... that's enough, right? Yiko, Richie."

"Yeah."

We try to distance ourselves from the two articles.

"Ma, wait! Oh, the... can you tell me your name? I call it a two-handed..."

I know.

"Yes, it's Natsu Ichinose..."

"... with Roppo Aisaka"

Me, who introduces myself modestly, and Roku Hana, who names herself after a nagging sensation.

"To Ichinose, Aisaka-san... I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to surprise you..."

No, I'm surprised enough.

Or I don't want you to talk to me anymore.

I just want to leave this place.

But he really wants to talk to us, and he's looking at us.

Oh, my God, that's a pain in the ass.

"Um... I ask you something unexpected, don't you two know a man named Kudokazuto?

Me, though?

But I'll pretend neither I nor Rokuka know.

"To tell the truth, the atmosphere of Mr. Ichinose...... is it? That kind of resembles the person so much that I accidentally spoke up..."

"Do I know you?

"Yes, a colleague of the company... a very helpful person."

"Heh, yeah."

Rokka, look at me.

It's not a big deal.

I don't remember taking care of him, and he's usually between seniors.

"This is a picture of the person. Didn't you see him on his way here?

So what she took out was a group photo from her employee trip.

Point at me in the picture at the far end of it.

(Ooh, that's an awesome mushy look)

(I didn't like it.)

I can't act the way I like it, it goes with the booze I don't even want to drink late at night, I can't see Momo for days. Seriously, it was the worst trip ever.

"... I'm sorry, but I don't recognize you"

"Um, I don't know if I have one, either. Sorry."

"Really..."

Bijou drops his shoulder with outright disappointment.

"Well, if we meet somewhere, why don't you tell them?" Nijo Kamomo is at City Hall. I've been waiting for you. '"

"... I'll tell you"

When I answered that, the two articles gave me a very happy look.

... what the fuck, that face.

Don't you like this guy?

(... Impossible, that's not true)

Pompous and Roppo get ears pounding, but that's impossible.

'Cause there's no way you're gonna like a guy who doesn't have a relationship at work, that's just upstairs.

There's no element of being liked, and I don't remember trying to be liked.

Because I don't care.

(Please look at that. Looks like the mayor's speech is over too)

(Oh, really)

Looks like Mayor Uesugi's speech is over too.

I go down the stage and leave the floor as it is.

(Now what...)

Will you rendezvous with Ichinose once, or will you continue to gather some more information?

I'm also concerned about the mayor's discomfort earlier.

Do you want to gather some more information before you head over to Mr. Ichinoses?

Mayor Uesugi, who finished his speech, was back in the office.

Sit in a chair and sigh.

"Well, what are we going to do..."

Remove the cigarette from your chest pocket and light it.

I haven't smoked for a long time but now I really miss this flavor.

Smoke and look out the window.

(... great)

Darkness at night.

In it, only one place, this place, this city hall, shines bright.

(I was still right to revive the electricity......)

That's like a glimmer of light.

Isn't it like a light of hope that illuminates people trapped in despair?

In fact, everyone reacted dramatically when the electricity started to turn on.

The expression brightened up and the smile returned.

And seeing this light, many more people will go for this city hall.

No matter, there are risks.

This light may attract monsters as well as people.

I don't have to think about it.

But still.

You can't stop this light.

It's hope I finally got it.

(... should never be lost)

But that's why he was troubled.

I was wondering if I could tell everyone about the 'sole' he holds.

Unexpectedly, the door was knocked.

"Get in."

That said, the door opens and a knocked person comes in.

It was Fujita.

"Hi, good job"

"Uhm."

Fujita sits on an appropriately prepared couch.

"Didn't you stop smoking?

"Sometimes I want to smoke"

That said, I still push more than half the tobacco I have left in my ashtray.

Fujita thinks he's not well.

"I'm glad the world has changed, so I guess I can smoke anywhere."

"It's not a good line for the mayor to say, it..."

"I don't listen to anything but you. And from what I've heard, it's now."

"Right."

"So, what? You're not here to talk to the public like that, are you?

"Yeah, well..."

Me and Fujita scratch their cheeks and cut to the point.

"This is an earlier speech, why didn't you say the next 'condition'?

Mayor Uesugi's expression changed.

Meditate your eyes and exhale loudly.

(Is that still the case...)

Fujita goes on to see how he took that silence.

"No way, I forgot, what a word you're not going to mislead, are you?

"... you're really good at it. And I'm not reluctant."

The discomfort that Kazt felt for the mayor during his earlier speech.

There were others who felt it.

However, in Fujita's case, it was simply because his insight was superior, not his skills.

More importantly, Fujita, both public and private, has known Mayor Uesugi for a long time.

I can see through some discomfort and hidden things right away.

"Tell me, mayor. Conditions for the next level up. What the hell was that all about?

……

Meditate often, and Mayor Uesugi takes the paper and pen out of the drawer.

I ran the letter sara and gave it to Fujita.

"- That's the condition offered this time."

Fujita stared at the paper he had been given,

"I see... we have a point. This... I do understand your hesitation."

Nodded, looking up at the ceiling.

And squirm fucking drooling.

Mayor Uesugi's skill 'Town Building'.

This skill differs from other skills in terms of how to level up, while also increasing its effectiveness.

With normal skills, you can increase that level by using SP or by using that skill over and over again to increase proficiency.

But when it comes to 'town building', it doesn't exist.

Instead, 'conditions' are presented for leveling.

By completing it, you can increase your skill level.

Conditions for ascending to LV2, for example, were the securing of 10 monster demon stones and 10 residents.

When I went up to LV3, I secured 100 monster demon stones and 50 residents.

Securing demon stones and crusading monsters, even if he doesn't move himself, if his companions move and give him demon stones, the conditions will be fulfilled.

I was wondering if a similar condition would emerge this time, but the condition was far beyond his imagination.

(How far is this world filled with malice...)

What was ahead of the light.

Was that really hope?

With a deep deep sigh, Mayor Uesugi looks at his status plate.

There, it was written like this.

"Area Extension Conditions"

· Securing 100 inhabitants

Achievement rate 76/100

- Obtain (of any kind) 100 Monster Demon Stones

Achievement rate 8/100

· Crusade for 'Queen Ant (Queen Ant) Individual Name Alpa'

· Crusade for "Guardian Golem Individual Name Titan"

The above conditions shall be carried out within 72 hours.
