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

Morning sun plugs in. It's the seventh morning.

Next door was Rokka's sleeping face.

Sleeping in a lovely sleep with her body round.

Or the distance is close.

(You can't come into the futon on your own...)

I'm really not alert enough.

I had no choice but to keep her awake. I got up softly, hung my blanket back up and left the room.

(The guy who's awake... he's pretty good...)

He's awake, he's sleeping. Signs felt everywhere.

The new skill 'Widespread Enemy' acquired by the profession 'Tracker'.

Its range of enemies is not the same as before, and it has enough ability to lightly overshadow this entire city hall.

I can also clearly see the detailed signs that could only be further vaguely discerned.

Well, I find some signs of people depressing, but I'll just have to get used to them there.

When I headed to the washroom, I had a client.

"Good morning, Nishino."

"Oh, good morning, Ichinose (...)"

Nishino washes his face and brings a refreshing grin to his face.

"What about the others?

"I'm still asleep, because we were discussing it late yesterday."

"Really?"

After coming back to City Hall yesterday, I had a meeting with them.

Skills, collaboration, tomorrow's operation, and all that other stuff, it was totally late if we were discussing it.

I guess Nishino owes it to you for keeping your roots in advance.

I was able to get into their circle without any suspicion.

That's not all.

Nishino also explained the difference between Ichinose-san and Rokuka.

His people took care of him.

Brown gal-like high school girl apologizes for "sorry until now," or Gatai's good bad you say, "Now we'll protect you" or something.

... aren't these kids a little too good?

I was so sweet, I almost cried. Why is that bad?

(You can't really guess what it looks like...)

'Everything that looks like' was the norm in the company livestock era.

Sleeping habits, beardless, wrinkles in clothes. Socialists place an unusual emphasis on 'good looks' like that.

But that doesn't apply in today's world.

In this situation where a person's nature is stripped away, it makes no sense to just fix his appearance.

Nishino, your group would be an easy example of this.

"... what's going on, staring people in the face?

No, it's nothing.

Wash your face for now.

Nishino waited for me until it was over.

"You still have time for breakfast... why don't we talk a little?

"Fine."

The location has changed and parking outside City Hall.

Me and Nishino sit on that outer wall.

When I said I would change my watch until breakfast, I was given a light replacement.

"You won't be listening here."

Nishino changed his tone.

It seems he's only going to make it a tribute when he speaks alone.

Well, Nishino sounds like you.

"Finally."

"Yep..."

A showdown with queen ants lurking in the mall.

It's an unbeatable battle for the people who live here.

"With that said, Mr. Shimizu was delighted, right? He said he was lucky to have all those massive insecticides before the showdown."

"You want me to thank Mr. Itinose for that, not me. Without her chatter, we wouldn't have been able to hit that much insecticide."

Last night I went back to City Hall with a ton of insecticides.

Actually, I put the stock out of my item box, but I decided to hit it with Mr. Ichinose's "Gacha".

I still want to hide the presence of the item box.

But they're 'named'.

I want to hit as many hands as I can.

"... Still, I'll thank you. Winning this battle is a big premise, but in addition, it's important to keep the losses down."

"Right."

Yes, even if you let the Queen Ant down, there's still another fucking name left.

Golem Titan. Unless you do something about him, there's no future for this city hall.

(For once, I assembled the strategy...)

Newly acquired skills.

In addition, Kiki's 'reflexes', Momo and Mr. Ichinose's new skills, and Aka's new fiction.

If you take full advantage of all of this in full condition, it could also lead to him.

But... there were things I didn't know.

(How could Aka let me choose a 'tracker'...?

It is true that the range of enemies has expanded, and 'tracking' and 'terrain grasping' are useful skills.

But I don't think it was an option to take in this situation right now.

It just seems more plausible that the 'ninja' 's top position if they're going to advance the fight in their favor.

(Asking Aka only answers' somehow - '...)

There is something certain about Momo and Aka.

That's why I believed that, too, but I still couldn't think of an effective means of utilizing the 'tracker'.

(I'll keep my fourth profession until the next level up...)

Various toothaches.

Besides that, my biggest concern is -.

"... what's wrong with Fujita?

When I say that, Nishino looks reluctant.

Even at dawn, Fujita is not back yet.

You should see that there was some anomaly (irregular).

Were you attacked by a monster, or for another reason?

"... Nishino, you sent him an 'email' yesterday, didn't you?

"Yep. But I didn't get a reply"

Fujita is the central figure in City Hall.

I guess that's why Nishino didn't hesitate to use 'email' either.

(If a person on the email list dies, the name of that person disappears from the list)

I didn't know that Nishino noticed it after reviewing his email list many times.

I have Fujita's name on the list.

So he's not dead yet... should be.

"What about the people at City Hall?

"I was pretty upset yesterday, but I think I'm all right now"

If you ask me, they said the mayor drank everyone upset.

Says - don't make a scene. It's ugly. Even if he is upset to this extent, Fujita will laugh when he returns. There's no way the man you guys believed could be screwed to this extent. Believe me, wait.

... No, I'd rather get him out. Give him a big smile when he gets back.

It's all over while you're late. He said he was going to curse that idiot for nothing.

"... somehow, that's amazing"

"I've been shown the difference in vessels as a mentor. You thought I couldn't imitate you very much..."

"Nishino you have Nishino your way. You don't have to stick around, do you?

Others are others. I am myself.

There's no such thing as absolute correctness, and I just have to do what I can.

"Right. Well, there are guys like me who can follow me. … so I thought I had to work hard."

... I think you're strong enough to say that.

Nishino, you stand up.

"I'm sorry I let you go out with me. Time to go."

"Right."

I asked someone else to take the watch, and me and Nishino went back inside City Hall.

At the end of the breakfast, the operational meeting just started.

Nishino, as you were talking about, the people in the bureau were less upset.

It's just that the look on Chief Shimizu's face is a little dark. Will you be all right?

"You're all set. Then I'll explain the operation."

Mayor Uesugi, standing on the stage, says so and activates' Map (Map) '.

"This is where they found the queen ants yesterday."

Mayor Uesugi fingers a portion of the 3D map.

Underground facilities in the shopping district. It's the western corner of it.

"There is only one staircase, but there are a number of nest holes in the vicinity that they have vacated. It would be essential for breaking and entering."

However, Mayor Uesugi continues.

"Naturally, they'll be waiting for you. So first, use a smoking formula to weaken them. Fortunately, we have enough insecticides."

Right, that gaze can be directed at me.

I missed my face.

"Then we go in and destroy them. I need you to go in from where you've been designated."

Smoked and weakened, surrounded and annihilated by queen ants so that they could not escape.

It's a simple and understandable operation.

Giant Ants are numerous, but not as highly combative as one.

If there is concern, is the Queen Ant's own combat power?

And...

"... what if the golem comes out?

One of the officials raises his hand.

Yes, that is the point of greatest concern.

If you could come out to me, I wouldn't be talking about the operation.

"I just want to tell you to abort the operation and withdraw immediately... but we don't have much time either. I need you to carry out the operation while you manage to escape."

Come on, you haven't managed the part where you have to do the most.

"In the worst case scenario, have someone draw Titan's attention and run the operation in the meantime. There's no other hand."

I mean, you play the role of...

Is there someone who can perform the role without hesitation in the face of a situation where you actually say that? It's not the second generation.

Some of them look unhappy, but I guess they can't even complain more than they have no alternatives.

The mayor looks around.

"Then in thirty minutes' time, we will begin the operation. Guys, I'm definitely coming home alive!

"" "" Ooooooo!!

Everyone gets up in a mood.

Operation Queen Ant Alpa Crusade began.
