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

"Kew! Ki-Ki-Ki-Ki."

The fox is looking at me with his eyes sparkling.

Lesser Carbuncle.

Apparently, that's the name of this foxed species.

"What the... fox?

"Fujita, that's not a fox, it's like a monster. Look, look at that forehead gem."

The red jewel on Lesser Carbuncle's forehead, no, the demon stone? The moment I saw it, Fujita's expression changed.

"... Indeed. Heh, there are monsters like that..."

Saying so, but without alarm, I'm waiting for the other guy to get out.

I admire the attitude that I haven't dived through the training grounds to Dada.

"Ki-Ki-Ki-Ki-Ki-Ki"

In contrast to us like that, Lesser Carbuncle approaches with a happy tail swing.

Somehow, it feels like I'm not alert at all.

(... you're mistaken you might have gotten help?

He was tangled in a giant spider thread.

Maybe it was just before they ate it.

That's where we took the streets and wiped out all the giant spiders.

I do have to help, depending on the way I look at it...

(It's a coincidence...)

I didn't try to help you.

I'm just saying it turned out that way.

Once he laid down his gun with caution, Lesser Carbuncle trembled frighteningly.

"Kew!? Kew, Kew! Cucumber!"

Puffy and trembling, Lesser Carbuncle stares at this one.

I feel like I'm saying it's not me.

"... you're adorable"

Fujita, who sets up a handax right next door, said so with an extremely serious look.

It is the look of your father when he was found in Côte d 'Ivoire.

"... Fujita?

"... Ha. Oh, no, I'm sorry! I'm not alarmed. It's okay.... but somehow it's so creepy and cute, he"

... Is this old man really going to be okay?

Lesser Carbuncle also said, "Cu?" and hangs his neck.

Seeing that makes Fujita pop.

Who gets old man's cheek dye or something......

(No, wait. Maybe he has skills in the 'charm' system like that student chairman...)

When I glanced at him, Lesser Carbuncle leaned on his back.

With the look of my stomach, I find this one in my puffy tears.

Oh, no. This is just a bruise.

But unfortunately, no matter how many little animals I looked and moffed, as long as I had a partner named Momo, my heart wouldn't shake.

I don't like Moffmoff. I like Momo.

I like it because it's a momomo.

No cheating, absolutely.

(With that said, when I stroke my stomach in that state, Momo would be happy too...)

When I stroke Momo's stomach, lying on his back on his knees, Momo leaks a satisfying voice, "Huh..."

No more, that cuteness sucks.

Destructive enough to want to be stroking all the time.

Momo is cute and soothing even in his delusions...... lonely. I want to see the real thing soon.

Lesser Carbuncle looks at you like he's one of us.

Do you want to be one of them?:

and the voice of heaven echoing in my head again.

Shut up.

I mean, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. What's in it for me?

"... (sighs)"

Then the gun (aka) in my hand shook.

(... hmm? Is Aka in favor of keeping this guy company?

(... sieve!

Aka trembled powerfully.

You should totally kick your ass! I feel like I'm saying it that way.

Wouldn't it be the first time Aka's ever pushed her opinion so hard?

Hmm, what to do......

When I was worried, the gun (Aka) shook unnaturally for a moment.

Then Lesser Carbuncle, who was lying on his back, suddenly rose.

"Kew!

When I saw what I was doing, the jewel on his forehead glowed.

Then me and Fujita, the gun (Aka) was also wrapped in a pale light.

"This is..."

"What is this light? The power... gushes...?

This glow. Could it be the light when you fought that giant spider earlier?

Even then, when I suddenly wondered if my body glowed, I was strangely more powerful...

"Maybe..."

I'll check my status.

Kudokazuto

Level 19

HP: 210/210

MP: 58/58

Force: 157 (+16)

Endurance: 153

Agility: 338

Dexterity: 308

Magic: 35

vs. Magic: 35

A number is displayed next to the status that has never existed before.

+ 16 next to the 'force' number.

Perhaps this means that this numerical 'force' is increasing.

"Kew! Ki! Ki! Ki!

The jewels on Lesser Carbuncle's forehead flash further.

Then, as we echoed it, our bodies glowed, increasing the status of 'Endurance', 'Agility' and 'Dexterity'.

Every item has an increase of roughly 10% to 20%.

(Support skills...... like a buff?)

I guess that's the skill he has.

When you look at Lesser Carbuncle, you say, "How, isn't that amazing? Praise me! Praise me!," he stares at the cockroach as he pats his tail.

Lesser Carbuncle looks at you like he's one of us.

Do you want to be one of them?:

And the voice of heaven flowing in my head three times.

Cheng Cheng, he may indeed be useful as Aka said.

That's all this skill is attractive.

(... or aka. You were aware of this?

When I asked, Aka said, "Well, somehow?" I felt trembling.

(With that said, Momo was like this when he companioned Aka too...)

Maybe there's something like a wild exploration that only animals and monsters have.

If it's true, I just want to talk to Mr. Itinose and Momo too. In what situation is it impossible...

I'll get back to you later.

(Ha... ok, aka)

I think of it as Jesus in my head.

Lesser Carbuncle is now one of us.

"Certain conditions have been met."

"Occupation 'Demon Man' is now available."

"Occupation 'Demon Man' is already available."

"If you are choosing a profession 'Demon Man', you will start with LV3."

... The level of "Demon Man" keeps rising even though I'm not even willing to take it.

It's as if “she” is whispering to take it from the afterlife.

No, it must be my fault.

Well, leave that alone.

"Kicu!

The moment I chose Jesus, Lesser Carbuncle came to me with tremendous momentum.

He lets his front leg snap and desperately tries to cling to his stomach.

"Oh, hey, Ichinose, is that okay...?

"Huh? Oh, yes. I think I've been strangely missed..."

"He said he was nostalgic... he's a monster for once, isn't he, Soyts?

"Oh, actually -"

I'll tell Fujita that he's one of us.

Fujita was quite surprised.

"He said he's one of us. He's watching it with his eyes... it's really like a game..."

"Right..."

"Hmm, even a monster..."

Fujita looks difficult with her hands on her chin.

"Even if the mayor will understand, it could be quite a hassle to persuade the other members... Oh, and hide that kid from the militia base. It's gonna be a big deal."

"Um... Fujita doesn't disagree?

When I asked him terribly, Fujita gave him a decent look.

"Heh? Of course, I don't mind. Even though it's a monster, if you don't have to kill it, you've never been over it, have you?

I laughed like it was nothing.

I was a little impressed with the answer.

I knew this guy wasn't like my former colleagues.

"Kyu, Kyu"

Lesser Carbuncle is on my shoulder.

Apparently he liked it here.

It feels like he's hitting his tail and playing Moffmoff's muffler.

"Even so, he's cute again, dude"

Softly reaches out and tries to stroke Lesser Carbuncle's head.

"Kew!

But unfortunately, I was stunned.

".................." Shh.

"Kew!" Sa.

"............" Shh, shh.

"Kew! Kiku!" Come on, come on.

"... are you hating me?

"What do you think..."

A little... No, I couldn't say anything to Fujita.

"Oh, yeah. Why don't we give it a name?

When I asked, Lesser Carbuncle nodded.

They want you to put it on.

"Oh, that's good. Then I'll..."

"Shh!

"..." sombo.

Again depressing Mr. Fujita, I think.

"Um, so how about“ kiki ”?

Foxes because they have yellow body hair like foxes.

When I was Aka, I thought it was cheap naming sense, but Kiki cheered her face off with joy.

"Kiku!"

Apparently, you liked it.

Yeah, I'll have to check my status.

Check out the party members immediately.

Kiki

Lesser Carbuncle LV7

LV7, huh.

Well, I guess so.

... Kiki's name should also appear on Mr. Ichinose's status screen.

I'll have to contact you sooner or later. I hope you're doing well over there......

"So, Fujita, are you leaving?"

"... oh, yeah"

I run the bike again with Kiki on my shoulder and Fujita behind me.

"Hey, Kiki, just give me a stroke -"

"Shh!

I just laughed a little at Fujita and Kiki for having such an exchange.

But I didn't know that yet.

That Kiki has even more extraordinary skills hidden than a support buff.

And that will be the key to a later battle.

Meanwhile, around that time.

Nishino, Roppo's party had hit the annihilation of Giant Ant.

"Nooooooooooooooo!

Shaken down Marutai crushes Giant Ant's head.

A yellow demonic stone rolled at his feet, along with the dull sound of Gucci.

"You've earned experience."

"Goshogawara Hachiro's LV has gone up from 8 to 9."

"Phew Phew, did you do it!?

Goshogawara confirms the condition of the new Marutai.

Apparently there was a marutai in the hall.

"Oh, do it, old man. Okay, this way too!

Six flowers stand on their hands and penetrate a herd of Giant Ants.

The ants weakened by insecticides were not the enemies of the six flowers.

In an instant the ants were slashed down and turned into demonic stones.

"You've earned experience."

"Isakarika's LV has gone up from 13 to 14."

"Ugh! Leveled up again -"

"Don't be alarmed, Rokka. It's dim around here, and they might still be hiding."

"I know, Nissy."

Currently they were in the shopping district near City Hall - its' underground '.

They were throwing smoked insecticides from one end into the nest hole of the ants, hitting the annihilation of the ants, but it turns out that one of the holes leads to the subterranean streets around here.

I looked inside with caution and there were a lot of frightening ants there.

Weakened by insecticides. Yet this time there are six flowers that are the key to the attack.

We thought it wasn't a bad idea to shred the enemy's power here. They stepped into the nest hole of the ants.

As a result, they harvested the Great Venus.

By defeating a large number of ants, we succeeded in raising the level of everyone, including Nishino.

(Probably their authentic nest hole ahead of them...)

The flashlight lights up further into the basement.

I feel a 'bad sign' from there.

(No going in deep. Slightly sharpen your power for the deepest part)

That's it for starters.

Identify the trigger properly and Nishino gives instructions to withdraw.

(Oh, would Ichinose be doing well with that?)

What came to my mind was the appearance of a girl who left Coco about an hour ago.

He is Rokka's best friend and our new companion.

(Minus the fact that people are familiar, I was under the impression that they were building walls somewhere...)

I remember the impression that it was relative or somewhere acting.

Probably don't trust ourselves yet.

Well, I don't know what else to do, Nishino.

We just need to get to know each other slowly from now on.

(Yeah, she'll want to know what's going on with this one, and I'll text her)

The horseradish is important.

Reporting, communication and consultation.

With limited means of communication, the sharing of information is of paramount importance.

We better know what's going on with each other.

Nishino casually checks his email address book...,

"... hmm?

I twisted my neck.

None.

Her - "Icinosenutsu" name is nowhere.

That's crazy.

My girlfriend and I are face-to-face yesterday in the dormant room.

Then there should be names listed near Fujita and Shimizu in order, but nowhere.

Around here in order.

Nishino looks for her name as she checks the screen with her fingers.

Right here.

Where the name 'Icinosenutsu' should originally be.

There he was...

"... Kudokazuto?

It was a name I don't remember.

The name that should be there.

A name that can't be there.

Confusion. And doubt.

"What do you mean...?
