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

Listening to Fujita, I thought to myself, "Oh, Cheng Cheng Cheng."

If we cannot defeat our enemies ourselves, we can beg for help from others.

Not to mention if that's the biggest armed group in Japan.

Too obvious, I couldn't think of the other way around.

(No, you don't...)

Somewhere in my head, I was turning that option off.

That day four days ago.

When I saw that moment when the militia was ravaged without the art of becoming a high oak.

(But on second thought, their arming was minimal then...)

There was variation in the armament, and there may have been circumstances where we could not bring out the weapon.

(For once, I could have caused a scratch on that high oak...)

A scratch is a scratch.

If they were fully armed then, or if they were military helicopters with missiles or heavy machine guns, the results might have changed.

Firearms, missiles, tanks, military helicopters.

The power of this world's original science, unlike skills and professions.

A fascinating force.

If you can unilaterally fire from a distance without getting close, surely even that giant golem opponent will have enough chances.

It's a fantasy.

(That's just a story if the militia is functioning properly)

It's been the sixth day since the world has been like this.

There is a good chance that the militia has been destroyed.

There were many high oaks, dark wolves, giant golems and powerful monsters appearing in this town.

You shouldn't think that's our only 'exception'.

There could be more powerful monsters elsewhere.

That's why Fujita also prefaced that it was a 'bet'.

Someone raises their hand as their surroundings squirm.

"The militia, if you do think about it, yes it is... does it work that well?

"... I don't know"

"Become...!?"

"You said it first, didn't you? He said this was a bet. It could be a monster over there, or it could be all gone by now. If you were, you'd be totally on foot."

"Then..."

"Then ask, is there any other way? Is there a way to defeat that golem?

"Well, that's... yes, if you take down the ants and level them up..."

"Does that give you more power than a land-based missile? Well, that's not likely, but we don't have time. Three more days...... no, 58 hours to be exact. Two and a half days. It took us five days to get this far. In less than two days, you think you can explode more power than that?

Grab a fist, graciously Fujita says.

I guess he's the one who mourns their powerlessness more than anyone else.

To his words, the man who protested also shuts his mouth with regret.

"You mean about an hour if you drive normally to the militia garrison? I can't grab a car in this situation, and I can't use a bike because it could attract monsters. On foot. You'd better think it would take a whole day."

I mean two days back and forth.

No, if the militia is functioning decently and military helicopters are available, it's practically all in one day.

It is only an assumption that the other side will respond to our rescue.

"The question is... who's going"

Yes, that's the problem.

Someone has to go out and let them know more than they have the means to keep in touch.

"I'm the one who suggested it. I'm more responsible than I said. It's just... if you can, one more person... no, I want you two to come with me."

Apparently Fujita is going out on his own.

"No! You can't!

In contrast, a man who stands up and speaks up.

Fujita is one of the leading members of this city hall.

"You and Mayor Uesugi need this city hall! What do you do in case anything happens!

"You take the place then. It wouldn't be weird if it happened anytime in the world today, just in case in the first place. Besides, if the militia was functioning properly, we would need a negotiator. You wouldn't be more qualified than me, would you?

"And, but...... so, then!

His gaze can be directed at us.

"Or shouldn't we just let them go? Though newcomers, I heard they were pretty high level too. I think we can accomplish our mission."

"No, you... they just got here yesterday, didn't they? You can't be tasked with such a dangerous mission. At times like this, we're adults, aren't we?

Fujita sighs and stares at him.

Responsibility as an adult, huh? That's a good thing, Fujita.

But... other members don't seem to.

"Yes, we do..." "We have something to do in the first place..." "It's better than putting together poorly and messing up our feet?" "These are young guys' jobs..." "Yes, if you want to be one of us, you have to behave properly." "Yes, you are."

Fujita panics at their words.

"Hey, wait a minute. Are you guys serious? That's not what I meant."

"I agree with them too"

That's what I said and raised my voice to was the fresh water chief who refrained behind him.

"Shimizu..."

"Request for rescue to the militia. I agree with that idea, too. But I think it would be more efficient to leave that task intact to the newly-arrived ones if we were to reconstitute the squads for it and reconstitute the rotation of the current exploratory squads, crusade squads. And..."

"And if we're the newcomers, it's not too bad if we fail. Nor does the original City Hall's power diminish......?

Nishino opened his mouth so that Chief Shimizu could speak. [M]

"... I didn't say that. Don't get me wrong."

"The axis of meaning would be the same, wouldn't it? I mean, I hope you don't take it personally without asking our opinion?

"Right. I apologize for that. So... what do you think of Fujita's opinion?

Nishino and Shimizu Chief's gaze intersects.

"I agree with Fujita. I think it's well worth the bet if we can get help from the militia."

"Then..."

"But I can't convince you how to push that on us just because that's why. Besides, the rotation that Mr. Shimizu said was nothing but hassle, right? It just sounded convenient to convince everyone."

"... let me get this straight."

"I can be polite, but apart from this. There is considerable risk to this operation. Even though we're new, we're not disposable tools."

"You're not saying that, are you? You're one of them?

"But that's what your attitude sounded like?

"What are you talking about, you!" "You're not being polite to your students!" "What a rude attitude!" "This is why young people these days..." "Can you trust these guys?" "Hey, be quiet! I know we're in the middle of an important discussion right now!

Others - especially my former colleagues - vehemently argue with Nishino's words.

Fujita exhales heavily and tries to forgive everyone, but once the argument on fire does not subside inside.

We should let the students go.

No, we should decide on the lottery equally.

I thought there might be another way in the first place.

Everyone gives their opinions as he pleases.

In that,

What are you going to do?

Rokka asks me in a whisper.

(Right......)

I put my hand on my chin and think.

(City Hall... and a militia base...)

The current state of City Hall. Giant golem. Ant's army. And our skills.

Think about it, including all of them.

Think, think, think - draw conclusions.

What's in it for us?

(That's a bet... but it shouldn't be a bad bet)

Hopefully, we may be able to significantly change future developments.

I immediately manipulate the status screen.

And when I finished the work, I put my hands up all the time.

"Oh, uh... uh, I ask you something unexpected, is there a motorcycle that I can move to this city hall?

All of a sudden, they're all pokants at my word.

What are you talking about, this girl? A look like that.

Oh, my God, that's so surprising. It will hurt, but Mr. Itinose will.

Nishino... you're surprised. I didn't see it.

"Uh, Icinose... Wasn't it? There is, but what's wrong with that?

It was Fujita who answered me.

I am satisfied with the response.

If there is, there is no problem.

"... there is a 'silent motion' in my skills. Well, this is a very quiet mobility skill… it also works on vehicles."

Fujita's expression changed to that word.

"Wow, I'm going... to that militia base"

Let's try to make a big move here once.

Because sooner or later, it's the way to go.
