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

- Why is this woman here?

That was exactly what Nishino first had in mind. Then overflowing vigilance.

I remember myself being brainwashed by this woman a few days ago.

Myself being overridden with thoughts and devoting herself to this woman as she deserves.

(... just remembering makes me nauseous)

Though brainwashing has already been solved and 'fascinating resistance' has been acquired, it is forbidden to be alarmed.

"... why are you here?

In response to Nishino asking questions to squeeze out, Tenka puts her hand on her mouth and chuckles.

The trick unnecessarily reverses Nishino's nerves.

"Why are you so vigilant? Aren't you one of those people who lives here together?

"Friends...?

What kind of mouth wants that?

Seeing Nishino rattling his teeth, Tenka deepens her grin even more.

It's like watching Nishino react and having fun.

"... I apologize for going up to the house on my own. But you knew you were avoiding me. But I didn't think you'd listen to me if I didn't."

……

It is true that I was avoiding it.

Since the battle with Alpa, Nishino had kept his distance from Shika more than necessary.

And I was making that thorough for the other members.

To prevent my people from being brainwashed and pawned by this woman.

Considering what happened at school, it could be taken for granted.

"Oh, don't worry. I haven't touched any of the furniture or the contents of the refrigerator, and I haven't seen it."

You can't be relieved to say that.

There is no basis anywhere to trust that word in the first place.

She's more than brainwashed and pawned. Whatever happens, she's the one you can't trust for Nishino.

Still, because of the presence of his real father, Mayor Fujita and Uesugi, Nishino kept only 'keep your distance'.

Believe me, people close to boulders don't get rough where they are.

(Anyway, it's not a good idea to make a scene than you don't know what the purpose is...)

Nishino has no choice but to sit in a chair.

Fortunately, only myself and Ten incense are here.

There's no sign of that stupid twin or Tenka handkerchief nearby.

I can't abandon the possibility that he's hiding, but that's when it happens.

(There is also 'fascination resistance' here... not like before)

Just in case, manipulate your fingertips to send an 'email' to your buddies so they don't see you.

Now, if anything happens to you, the problem is...

"- Did you even send an 'email' to your buddies?

"Huh...!

It was being read.

The upset comes to my face.

Ten incense chuckled that it was strange or dull.

"Hehe, that's easy to understand, Nishino."

"Thanks for that..."

I still don't like this woman.

Really hard to do.

They always take the lead in the conversation.

"Oh, and I'm so sad. Am I not so trusted by you Nishino? You're going to cry...... gu"

Ten incense to wipe your eyes.

I thought Nishino was beating this woman up. I didn't execute it just because I thought it was because his reason kept me under critical pressure.

Sigh deeply, Nishino cuts out.

"So, what are you doing here? If we talked about this, we'd have had enough for the meeting earlier, wouldn't we?

There are plenty of things to do and discuss about the future of City Hall, including increasing the number of skill holders, voicing for it, food procurement, perimeter research, but that was discussed at an earlier meeting.

"Yeah, that's right"

That's not why she came here.

Something that has nothing to do with City Hall.

Ten incense takes something out of his pocket.

That's a folded booklet.

"This is..."

Nishino also looked familiar.

"PR Heiwai City". It is an information paper issued by City Hall.

"I heard Nishino asking the staff to do this..."

Did you bring it on purpose?

No, only this woman has no reason to do such a special victory.

"Nishino, why did you want to read this?

Tenka's gaze is directed toward Nishino.

After a little thought, Nishino opened his mouth.

"... it's not a big deal. I was just wondering."

"Heh... what is it?

"It's nothing really big. Just..."

"-" Population ""

Tenka pinched the words faster than Nishino said.

Nishino reacts unexpectedly to the word.

That was a sufficient reaction to change the look on Shika's face.

"Yes... I knew you were thinking the same thing Nishino"

With a grin on her face, she turned the page to look through her fingertips and slapped an item with her finger.

What was on there was a page featuring babies born that month, deaths, etc.

At the bottom of that page is a pie chart showing the total population and gender ratio of this town.

Pingwai city - population 84,000.

This is not particularly unusual in rural cities in the region.

If you search online, it's an immediate number, but you can't use such a handy thing in this world today.

Nishino therefore wanted to check the figures in an information magazine to be published at City Hall.

To see how many people there are in this town.

(I've been wondering since this world went crazy...)

This world has been filled with monsters, systems like the game of skills and professions are now available, fighting for life and death, and has been desperate to survive.

So I've shelved that question before, and I've tried not to think about it.

But I could 'afford' it.

The "suspicion" that was in him was rekindled when he got a "safe zone" and a stable bunk and food.

I started thinking about it.

- People, too few, he said.

I've seen so many bodies with these eyes that I can't count them.

There were people killed by monsters, caged castles and people who didn't come out of their homes or apartments.

I have also seen shelters and people moving independently.

But still.

Even including them, the world is clearly too few 'people' today.

And nobody's questioning that.

Neither Shibata, nor Ichinose, nor Fujita, nor Shimizu, nor even Nijo, had any doubts or discomforts about the matter.

(If this discomfort is right... where did the people who disappeared go?

No, isn't this discomfort just a mistake in the first place?

Why did you think you were the only one?

Why did this woman also feel that question?

Brilliantly his brain repeats its thoughts.

That's why Nishino's reaction was delayed.

- If you noticed, ten incenses were imminent in front of you.

"You are still wonderful, Nishino..."

Hands on her chin, she approaches to such a distance that exhalation hangs.

"I thought it was just me. The question was that I was the only one who felt uncomfortable.... but it wasn't. You felt the same 'discomfort' as I did. And I can also predict what that means. Oh, how wonderful."

The beauty of the ten incenses seen nearby was unexpectedly so colorful that it gave off a dizziness.

Not only his face, but his body is pressed against Nishino all the time.

The volume is no less than that of the six flowers. Too comfortable and exciting 'woman's meat' feel. It pleasantly melts Nishino's reason.

"I knew I... you wanted it."

"Huh!!"

Don! And, reflectively, Nishino thrusts ten incenses.

She was slammed against the wall of the kitchen, not even passively.

"... it hurts, Nishino-kun"

"Just kidding! Now, you tried to brainwash me again!

The moment Tenka said 'I want', the announcement flowed through Nishino's head.

That was a thing that tells the level of 'fascination resistance'.

This woman used it again without any sexual punishment. That abominable skill.

After all, the nature of this woman has not changed. Nishino was so sure.

Take out the knife you were making me sneak into your nose.

Thoughtful for monster opponents, but sufficiently intimidating for human opponents.

"... are you going to kill me?

You're the one who made me decide that.

"It's a misunderstanding. I don't mean to."

"Just kidding!

Which mouth says it?

"It's true. 'Cause I also knew Nishino was getting' Charm Resistance '."

"... what?

"You're up to the level. Good for you."

"What..."

What is this woman saying?

"" Leadership, "" Negotiating Arts, "" Combat Support, "" Orders, "" Survival Instincts, "" Crisis Sensing, "" Luck, "" Enchanting Resistance, "" Poison Resistance, "" Mail, "and -" Peer Killing ""

And now it's time.

Nishino was completely out of line.

What Tenka has just said is definitely the skill she has.

How does this woman know that?

Did someone talk to you?

No, but I'm sure you haven't told anyone about your last skill. That is a testament to the sins of just myself and Rokkawa.

Then why?

"- No way...!

The worst feeling goes through the back of my brain.

Correct, ten incenses only deepen the grin.

"You're right, Nishino. Me too - I have 'appraisal' skills."

And at the same time...

"EXP reached a certain level."

"Isakarika's LV has gone up from 21 to 22."

Roppo poses as a gut to the announcement that flows into his brain.

"Ugh, I'm on a level -!

"Oh, not again. You're too level, you..."

Seeing the countless demonic stones rolling at her feet, Shibata shrugged as she shrugged.

Flip the skirt around, and Roppo turns this way.

"You hit me! I have to get to LV30 fast and catch up with the nappies."

"Uh, the 'evolution' of the example..."

If you become LV30, you can 'evolve'.

The information has also been conveyed to Shibata and the others.

He's still LV13. We're still ahead of us.

(But well... I guess so...)

Seeing Fusu and his temperament, Shibata is tempered again.

Even he has "someone he doesn't want to lose".

"Well, let's go hunt another one."

"Tortoise."

"Do you still want to go on..."

To the two healthy young men, it is the old man, Hachiro Gokawara, who follows them out of breath.

I was in a City Hall discussion with Nishino, and after that, he went out on an expedition with the Roppos.

Six flowers to be slashed in and Yaro Gotokawara to be controlled by Marutai.

Some students also have detection and latent skills in Shibata, who have therapeutic skills.

I feel like it's been a breathtaking party for some reason.

"- Huh! I can see the monster. Guys, pull yourself together."

A member with 'sensing' skills perceives the monster's signs.

At that moment, they squeeze their expressions and immediately take a fighting stance.

"Ahead of the corner... there's more than one sign."

"Nana, do you know what kind of monster it is?

The female student, called Nanamin, answers with her hands on her head.

"Um, this is goblin... I guess? And... maybe some zombie monsters. Maybe monsters are fighting each other."

"Goblins and zombies..."

"Then there's no problem. Let's go."

"You can't be alarmed, though. If you can't do it, you can run."

"Right."

unanimously they choose to fight monsters.

I set up my weapon and ran out in unison.

Turn the corner with the six flowers in the lead and penetrate the monster -

- I should have.

"....................................... Huh?

The first time I stopped my leg was Rokka.

Next Shibata, the other students.

Finally, Gosankawahara stops at suspicion that they have stopped.

"Duh, what's going on, guys?

I am suspicious and speak to them, but there is no answer.

I'm staring at that sight so everyone can eat in.

……

Gozokawahara also sees the sights they see.

Zombies and goblins were fighting.

That's just the sight.

So why did they stop?

Why do you have such a 'surprised look'?

"You're lying..."

"It can't be..."

Words like that leak from the students verbally.

Their gaze was uniformly directed at 'zombies' fighting goblins.

"... why?

Rokka drops the violin he had in his hand.

The sound rings with Karan, and the goblins and zombies turn this way.

They noticed this one, too.

Goblins have been intimidating this one.

And if you're a zombie - I got a 'surprised look'.

It's like a human face.

The trick behind it is like being human.

It's like the boy they wanted to meet.

"................................................... Ono"

With a squeezing voice, Rokka muttered the zombie's name.
