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

The other members were already in place when we entered the conference room.

Apparently the other squads were back for a break.

(There seems to be some casualties, but there are zero casualties...)

My former colleagues are almost intact.

When we sit properly in an empty seat, Mayor Uesugi lifts his hips.

"Looks like we're all here."

Go up to the altar and look around at us.

"Well, nothing else suddenly got me together. I think we've already heard the story, but the queen and the individual were discovered."

Surroundings flatter the words.

Even if it had been heard beforehand, the shock still seemed to be enormous.

"Ask her to tell me more. - Two Articles."

"Ha-ha-ha"

The mayor calls me, and the two articles rise up and head to the top.

Nervous about the bees, he greets them and bows his head.

... He hasn't healed his ascension.

"Uh, let me explain then. Wow, our squad was exploring the west side of the mall at the behest of the fresh water chief. That's when I found a staircase headed down to the basement."

To summarise the story of the two Articles, this is what happened.

Discover the stairs leading to the basement on the west side of the mall.

Down to the underground, there were countless ants twitching.

It was not easy to move forward, and they turned back on their original path, but they saw an individual behind the underground with the thought of a queen ant.

"... how did you know that was a queen ant? The underground is almost dark and without the lights, you wouldn't see anything, would you?

One of the City Hall members asks questions.

"Wow, I have acquired the skills of 'telephoto' and 'dark vision'. This is a skill that allows you to see distant things and see the surrounding scenery clearly even in the dark."

Heh, did the two Articles also have 'telescopes' and 'dark vision'?

What do you mean, is her profession around 'the hunter'?

"Cheng Cheng, I was convinced. So what did the queen ants look like? And how did you know that individual was a queen ant?

"Uh... it looked like a very big ant. I think there are several times as many monsters of ordinary ants. Besides, only the abdomen was unusually bloated and there were a number of ball-like protrusions everywhere. And since there were so many warrior-like ants around to protect that big ant... I wonder if it sounded like a queen ant..."

The last one felt slightly bumpy and unconfidential.

Warrior-like ants are definitely the top individuals that I and Nishino have encountered.

That's the big ant you're protecting...... that's definitely a likely queen ant.

Nevertheless......

"Surprisingly, you found it light."

"Oh, I thought it would take longer."

"It's a queen ant, isn't it? I thought you were diving more underground or something."

With such opinions flying in my mouth,

"But, hey, isn't that weird? Isn't a queen ant the deepest part? Why are you in such a shallow place?

Shibata speaks such a question.

Indeed, a queen ant is Theory in the deepest part of an ant's nest.

Until then if I say normal ants and monsters are different, but I do care.

"Uh, I just told him to keep watching -"

"Hey, don't let the student pinch your mouth. Are you trying to tell me we're lying?

Before the two articles say it, one of my former colleagues will stare at you Shibata.

"You didn't say that. I just wondered. I don't know, students. It doesn't matter now."

"You're a busy kid. What kind of education do you have?"

"What the fuck!?"

"Stop, Shibata. I've told you many times that it's your bad habit to tell me to provoke you."

"... nagging, sorry"

Nishino tells me, Shibata pushes silence.

"Hmm... but I can also understand what the boy is trying to say. Sounds like there's a reason."

"Is that still what the mayor thinks?

"Oh."

The contemplating mayor and fresh water chief.

Next to those two, the two Articles said, "Uh... can I go back now?" or whining. But too bad. My voice is low and I can't hear you.

"Um... do you have a good opinion?

In silence, Nishino raises his hand.

"What can I do for you, Nishino?

"Probably... isn't the golem related to the Queen Ant being there?

"The golem?

"Yes. The Golem is moving freely through the ground, isn't it? Isn't that why they can't spread the nest?

"Because you get caught up in the golem move, huh?

"Yeah. In fact, we were exploring the underground, but we've never had an ambush from the ground, even if we've been ambushed by them from the walls and ceilings. Doesn't this support the fact that they're not spreading their nests below the underground?

Talk about your thoughts in a hard way.

Honestly, it's totally better than the article two explains.

"Cheng Cheng, that makes sense..."

Um, the mayor agrees.

Chief Shimizu is also nodding.

"That's ironic. Thanks to the golem, I can't believe you know where the queen ants are..."

"It would be proof that monsters are not fighting each other. It didn't look like any of the monsters I'd ever met were holding hands."

Each monster acts independently.

So that led to good results this time?

(Conversely, how much threat can monsters pose if they join hands with each other...)

Don't get chilly just thinking about it.

I'd like to think that's not the case with boulders... but let's just be careful.

"All right, let's launch a simultaneous attack on the underground tomorrow. Use all the weapons and insecticides you have and head to crusade Queen Ants"

"What, you're not moving anymore today?

One of my former colleagues raises his hand.

"They're nocturnal. The sun will soon fall. If you want to make sure, it's better after the sun rises again tomorrow. Fortunately, we still have time. Let's rest our bodies slowly today and prepare for tomorrow's showdown"

And the mayor goes on.

"The Fujita guy is currently on his way here with the survivors of the militia. After all, it's better to have him around. The morale is different. And even a few militia members join the fighting force. I've never had enough men."

Just saying you're right, the officials of the bureau nod.

The other members are more or less reacting in the same way.

Don't be so sure Fujita earns everyone's trust.

"Then take a rest today, everyone. I'll tell him about the specific operation tomorrow morning.

Now, dissolve. "

"Ah, dinner will be rationed from eighteen o'clock, so don't be late everyone"

Finally, the fresh water chief informed him of the time of dinner and the occasion was dissolved.

Walk out of the conference room and down the hall.

"Now, do you want to rendezvous with your people? Looks like everyone's already gathered."

Nishino, I hear your people are already at City Hall.

Until the end of the discussion, everyone seemed to be waiting in the entrance lobby.

Nishino sees this way.

I'll come with you, won't I? That's the kind of gaze.

But I shake my head to the side.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to act differently here once and for all."

"... why?

"For once, I thought I'd go see her."

"Ah......"

That's all Nishino seems to have guessed for me.

"Are you persuaded?

"Well, that's the place"

I can also communicate via email, but I still want to meet in person and talk to a lot of people. I think about Kiki.

Plus I want to see Momo.

I even feel like I haven't seen him in months, even though it's only been one day.

"Oh, maybe you're going to see Nat? I went, too."

Rokka raises her hand.

"Huh... what? Oh, hey, take me too! I'm not gonna let you say no!

Shibata also speaks up.

That's some amazing eating.

"I'm sorry, but I'm more efficient alone. And..."

"And... what is it?

"No, the..."

Regardless, Rokuka, if you take Moro Bad Shibata, Mr. Ichinose will definitely throw up. Definitely vomit.

"Uh, you're scared of Chai Chi's face. I know, I know, I'm scared."

"Become...!?"

Shibata, who is depressed with Gunn.

"Give it up, Shibata. Besides, if you go with a large number of people, you will definitely stand out. You shouldn't be ruined by bad eyes."

"… soot"

Shibata, reluctantly, understood.

Rokka wanted to go too, but this time she seems to put up with it.

"Well, excuse me once. Let me know by 'email' if you need anything."

"Oh, be careful"

"Yeah, you too. Take your time and get to know your people better."

Thus, once I left you Nishino, I headed to the building where Mr. Ichinose was.

And the rooftop of the building.

When I open the door, the sunset plugs in until dazzling.

Ahead of sight. There was a girl with a gun and a wooden dog sleeping beside her.

"Ah..."

When the girl notices this way, she smiles and waves at me.

"Good day, Mr. Itinose, and Momo"

"Wow!

When Momo looks at me, he rushes right over and runs around me.

When I crouched, I rode out and licked my pepper and face.

"Ha, Momo, how have you been?

"Wow."

I missed you! and Momo rubs his body against me.

I'm telling you to stroke me, so I'll moff you with my thoughts.

Oh, this feeling, it's been a long time...

"Good day, Mr. Kudo. You're safe."

"I'm relieved that you seem fine"

Mr. Itinose sits next to me.

... a little close, eh?

It's the distance between our shoulders and each other.

No, I don't mind if Mr. Itinose doesn't...

Mr. Itinose seems satisfied with something, and so he has a funny look at everything that his gaze is swimming.

"Uh, the... yes, sounds like there was a lot going on?

"Oh, yes, that's right. Honestly, I'm tired..."

It's not Mr. Itinose, but relationships are really tiring.

Huh - exhaling loudly, Mr. Ichinose laughed cously.

"Kew."

Kiki rides herself out of her backpack.

I jumped onto Mr. Ichinose's shoulder as it was.

"Wow...! Eh, this kid said Kudo..."

"Yeah, new buddy, this is Kiki from Lesser Car Bankle"

"Kikyu ♪ Kikyu ♪"

Did Kiki like Mr. Ichinose, she puts out her tongue and licks her face.

"Yikes... hey, stop, it's ticklish..."

At the same time, I don't like it at all. It is Mr. Ichinose.

I'm enjoying Kiki's furrows, saying that I'm fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

"... wow"

"Oh, what's up, Momo? You want me to stroke you more?

I gently stroke around the momomo rubbing my body perfectly and stroking and appealing.

"Wah-hoo..."

Momo exhales satisfactorily.

Ha - healing...... Fatigue will blow you away......

"So, Mr. Itinose, what happened to what you were asking for?

"Oh, that's... can you just look at it?

"Yeah -"

Having finished moffing the whole way, me and Mr. Ichinose share information with each other.

Events at City Hall, Kiki's abilities, and the fruits of Mr. Ichinose's new profession and skills. And a meeting for tomorrow. And then, well, have a little chat you don't love. Strange, the conversation was uninterrupted.

By the time I finished telling them everything, the sun was completely down.

"- Well, then it's time to go back."

"Ah... uh, yes"

"Ku..."

Mr. Ichinose and Momo with a slightly unfortunate face.

Stop it, you won't want to go back.

"... Tomorrow will probably be the biggest fight ever"

"Right."

City Hall surveillance is over today.

Tomorrow she will be on the battlefield, too.

"... Mr. Kudo will cooperate, too, won't he?

"Right. I will work with them to the best of my ability. I promised Nishino that. And..."

"And?"

"If I could, I wouldn't want them to die."

To my words, Mr. Itinose laughed with joy.

"So take your time off today"

"Right..."

When I stood up, I saw a starry sky full of sky.

If you look down, the artificial light of City Hall illuminates the town at night.

We said "good night" to each other, and I broke up with Mr. Ichinose.

Walk the night lane.

I came back to City Hall without any surveillance noticing.

(... and Fujita, that's too late)

I would have already arrived in the evening.

... Is something wrong?

Driven by unspeakable anxiety, I headed under you Nishino.

This day-- Fujita didn't come home.

And the night dawns.

Day Seven - The curtain of the showdown rises.
