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

156. The right to ask questions is ill-intentioned

"Well..."

Me and Ichinose, who appropriately entered the private house, decided to ask about the situation from Rokuka and Shibata.

As always, Shibata had a tough attitude towards me for some reason, but let's put that aside.

Let's just wrap up the story, here's the deal.

I discovered an unusual pair of eyeglasses fighting goblins while I was exploring.

I spoke to you with my glasses to ask what was going on, but he saw himself and ran away.

Rokka-chan annihilated a few goblins in the way in two seconds and chased him.

And where I came from near City Hall, they were within my reach.

So we ran on a motorcycle and took him into custody. That's why it's happening now.

"... that you don't know anything more?

"Yeah, that's right..."

"Oh yeah..."

Rokka and Shibata snort.

The two faces are dark and other student members have the same look. The look of a changed friend seemed a shock to them too.

I look at you again fainted glasses.

Grey hair, earthy skin that I don't think blood is passing through. I can't see it because I'm closing my eyes now, but I think the area with black eyes did turn red and the area with white eyes turned black.

It looks just like the zombies I saw in the city. Not very much, but I don't think he's human.

What the hell happened?

(Possible... Is' Evolution 'the most likely...?

There were also evolutionary destinations, like Lizardman and Cyborg, that would change into what would not seem like humans at all.

If glasses had already reached LV30 and a zombie-like looking species existed in that evolutionary item, it would also fit this figure.

(But are you sure...?

If so, what about that fright he had when he saw us?

Why 'd you look at the Roppos and get away with it?

Eyeglasses, it seems to me that you and Nishino had a definite relationship of trust. Even cartoons and Lanobe's temple knowledge is abundant, and if he really 'just evolved', you can explain that when he's reunited. "Can you believe that! I'm not Nishino, who rejects the feeling." At least it won't be a reason to run away without an explanation.... unless it's some backward circumstance.

(There's no such thing as fake...?

For once, check his name on the 'Email List'.

It was labeled 'Oonokeita'. Definitely in person.

Then what are the other possibilities?

……

Where are you going?

"I'm going to take a few seats off. When he wakes up, there may be confusion again when I'm here."

"Oh, but..."

"It's okay. I'm in the next room, so call me if you need anything."

"Ah, well, so am I..."

In an attempt to follow me, I will hand control Ichinose, who has already picked the hem of my clothes.

"Mr. Ichinose, please stay here."

"Huh...?

"Mr. Aisaka now needs Mr. Ichinose. Stay by your side."

"Ah... yes, I get it"

Ichinose-san nodded, and Rokka-chan bowed her head sorry.

Never mind. So don't look like you're about to cry.

(Well... Momo, Aka, Kiki, I asked for it)

(Wow)

(…) sieve -

(Kew)

Leave this place to Mr. Ichinose and the Momos, they'll be fine.

Momo is lurking in Ichinose-san's "Shadow," and his clothes are an aka pseudo. Kiki's round on Ichinose's lap, too, and if anything, I can handle it right away.

I left it to them, and I moved to the next room.

I walked into the next room and I immediately opened the status plate.

To use The Right to Question and gather information.

I can do it anywhere if I just want to do something different, but somehow I felt I could concentrate more on one person.

It is better to scrutinize it somewhat before passing on the information obtained to them as it is.

(If it has not evolved, there is one possibility…)

Perhaps everyone should have come up with that possibility first.

But there was no one to talk about it.

Everyone was turning away. I didn't want to admit it.

- "People turn into monsters".

That possibility, that fact.

(So I'll look into that...)

My 'right to a question' can do that.

I don't know if you'll answer it, but somehow I felt like you were going to answer 'this question'.

Katakata and typing questions into the 'right to ask',

- "Do people ever turn into monsters?

I meditated my eyes and pressed the decision button.

The answer will appear shortly.

"Phew..."

I took a slow, deep breath and slowly opened my eyes.

'Answer' was displayed there.

- "Jesus," and.

"-"

A silent shock rocked my brain.

Oh, this system is really mean.

Because it answers these kinds of questions clearly.

Next, then.

I keep asking questions.

- "What are the conditions under which a person turns into a monster?

'Right to a Question' also gave me a light answer to this.

The conditions are as follows:

-Mutation due to ingestion of more than a certain amount of demonic stone

· Secondary effects due to no specific skills and specific occupations

· Attack effects from specific skills

· Parasites by specific monsters

· Intrusion into specific areas

-Evolution to specific races

Various conditions arranged sloppily.

The conditions under which a person turns into a monster...... there was so much...

It's a lot to worry about, but I'm particularly concerned about the first condition.

"… consuming more than a certain amount of Demon Stone."

In short, if you eat demon stones, people turn into monsters?

No, but there are people out there who want to eat that?

When I gave Momo the demon stone before, I tried to say it, but it wasn't very much, but I couldn't eat it.

"... would you like to try again"

If you think you can eat, just spit it out right away.

I take 'Goblin's Demon Stone (Small)' out of the item box and put it in my mouth.

It felt like a stone.

"... ugh"

Stiff, unblemished, messy.

Not very much, but I didn't eat it.

Totally just a stone.

"... no, but if you think about it, Momo looked delicious, right?

I thought I was exactly the difference between people and animals, but maybe not?

I ask more questions.

- "How can humans consume demonic stones?

The answer came right back.

- "Negative emotions under certain conditions exceed a certain value"

"... what the hell?

Negative emotions of certain conditions......?

Negative emotions, like despair or sadness?

I've asked more questions, but I didn't get any answers to this.

Other items - specific skills, what is a profession? Where is a specific area and what is a specific race? I also asked questions about it, but I didn't get any answers to this either.

I really feel that if I ask a question once and want to know something clearer, I often get teased.

"... well, just figured out that there are conditions for people to turn into monsters for now. Harvest?"

We have to be careful not to meet that condition.

"Newbie (Arabito)" is... for once, a human being. I'm not a monster.

'Right to a Question' answered me right there.

Next time, then. Then strike the question.

I really need to know all about this.

- "Can you undo a person who's turned into a monster?

Come on, how about this?

―――

The answer was no.

"Damn......!

Don't think I slap the floor.

Same as before. I even remember the illusion as if I was being deliberately blocked from information. No, maybe you're right.

"Fuck you...!

I tried to change the content of the question a few times, but the answer was with me.

There is no 'answer' - i.e. no means to undo it, or can't I answer it now...

Anyway, I wasn't going to get any more information.

By the way, 'Is it okay for animals to ingest demon stones?' I also tried the question, but the answer came back properly saying 'no problem'.

Rather, in the case of animals, they tend to actively try to eat demonic stones from their survival instincts. I wondered if humans didn't work for survival instincts, but they're systematically different around here.

Come to think of it, even if there were 'races' in animals and monsters, 'professions' did not exist.

Perhaps even in the same system, there is a clear difference between people and other organisms.

(Is that all you found out...?

Turn your consciousness to the next room.

Looks like your glasses are back in consciousness.

(Though, you're more than likely to be frightened again if I go...)

I have a "listening ear," so I don't have a problem listening to conversations.

Hey, that one, but let's just keep eavesdropping.

"- Hmm? This is... ugh! Hey, what's this!?"

"Oh, Ono, you're awake"

"Ri, Rokka...? That's Shibata and everyone else mo..."

I woke up from a stun, glasses. You seem to have noticed that your body is captive to bees with petrified acorns.

I mean, Mr. Eyeglasses, what do you care about Roppo?

"I'm sorry, but I let you restrain me. If they get away with it again, they won't fight you."

"Huh..."

"Come on, now let's have a talk, Ono. What's wrong with you? Why did you look at us and run away?

"Hey, it's close... Shibata-kun said it's close...!

"Ahhh? That's what it is - there is. What are you doing, Roppo?

"So - Ka Ra, Chai Chi is scared in the face, so stay away from me a little longer. Then you can't even talk about it."

"Oh... oh, am I that scared of faces? Seriously?"

"You said that before. You're still scared about the wood thing, huh?

"Gu......"

I can somehow tell by the signs and words.

Shibata will be stuffing you with glasses and peeking into your face for a long time. Feel like I cut my mentch. So, I'm depressed that Rokka noticed me.

(Sure Shibata you are scared of your face...)

Bad eyesight, bad gala, bad language. I'm wasting my mind on the profession "Doctor," and I think it's companionship. What is it, really?

"So... will you talk to me, Ono? Tell me what happened until you met us again."

"Oh, that's..."

Eyeglasses are a sign of what you think.

Eventually, pompous, he opened his mouth.

"I... don't deserve to be with everyone."

"What's that?

"I don't know what that means, but we've been desperately looking for you, haven't we?

"Well, that's the same for me!

Shibata shouted to your words, glasses all the time saying you were out of your mind.

"I missed you! I've always wanted to see everyone, too! But it turned out like this... and I still felt like I wanted to see everyone. But when I saw everyone's face... I was convinced that I was different. That's how my body moved on its own. So run... and I'll have them with my hands..."

"He and the others?

Trembling voice.

At that moment, his' signs' changed somewhere.

"Oh, yeah, I'm not bad. It's all bad for them... why are you looking at me like this! Don't be ridiculous...... don't be ridiculous, don't be ridiculous, don't be ridiculous!

"Oh, hey, Ono, what's up?

"Ono!?"

Stop listening and I'll head to the next room immediately.

This is no good, Mazui.

"Signs that were ambiguous" is getting closer and closer to "Signs of Monsters".

I tried to run to the next room, at that moment...

"- Right. You're nothing wrong."

Unexpectedly, I heard voices.

Scare runs on my spine. Who is it? Something's right around the corner.

What's this all about? Any reaction to your opponent? No response (...)?

"Oh, shit!

I was immediately struck by the possibility.

Are you nuts? I am! I was completely oblivious.

As soon as he rushed to the room, he activated "Skills".

"-" Shadow Cage (Cageoli) "!

At that moment, a 'shadow' spread from my feet all at once, covering the room.

"Ooh, ooh!?"

"Hey, what the heck!?"

"My body sank..."

upsetting students.

Yeah, it's a waste of time to explain now.

"It's my skill! No harm done! Please stay still!

Skill 'Shadow Cage (Cageoli)'.

As its name suggests, it is a skill to trap a subject in a 'shadow cage'.

There is a difference as to whether the subject can move freely even in the shadows, but the effect is with Momo diving into the 'shadows'.

Originally a skill that restrains monsters and makes them immobile, this time using that skill in reverse.

Zubuzub and the students to be swallowed up by 'Shadow' and you, Mr. Eyeglasses.

Side by side, I activate the next skill.

"- The art of earthwork."

At the same time that Mr. Ichinose and the students are swallowed up by the Shadows, now I dive to the ground.

At about the same time, a huge 'something' crushed the house.

Zdong!!! and the crushing noise rings, and the shock waves shake the atmosphere.

A vibrating vibration that is still conveyed even when you are in the ground.

"Huh... what...?

I'm off the ground a little further away.

There stood a hazy earthen smoke, and from a slightly visible gap saw the destroyed house and surrounding buildings.

And a huge silhouette nestled in it.

"You're lying..."

The existence that crushed the house where we were - it was indisputably a golem.

Titan? No, you're not. Half the titan in size. And the details are different.

(Was there another individual...)

No response to 'Sovereign'. That means there's no sign of it around, but it doesn't apply to some monsters.

Mimic, slime, and golem, for example.

In particular, the golem has no reaction whatsoever until just before it appears.

Possibility of another individual (golem) outside of Titan.

I was completely oblivious to that.

There are other individuals like that in the first place...

"That's a quick reaction. I have good skills in that."

Again, I heard that voice.

Now it was from over the head of the golem.

"Who...?

... people?

No, the signs I feel are the opposite of people's - indisputable signs of monsters.

There was a young man with dark hair, plain clothes, and a fine look to call mediocre.

He carries a disastrous long sword on his hips that is not commensurate with his appearance.

"I wonder if it will be a pleasure to meet you. It's good to see you, 'premature' holder."

That's what he said - "He" said.
