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

Suddenly a high school girl begged me for my life.

I don't think I know what you're talking about, but that's the situation.

(I mean, why is this kid here...?

It is former student chairman of my alma mater, Fifty Storms Tenka, who is in tears and trembling in front of me.

Fujita's fruit daughter, she has a very nasty skill called 'charm', and Nishino suffered from that poisonous fang temporarily at school.

I haven't had any particularly disturbing moves since I came to City Hall, and I didn't want to get too involved with each other myself, so I kept my distance...

(... the lord of my sight just now is definitely a coin, right?

There are no other signs of people or monsters.

The surrounding Trents are also quiet because of the higher-ranking species, "Flowered".

Seriously, it's just me and her two here.

(... I'm fine. her brainwashing doesn't make sense to me any more than she has' psychotic tolerance ')

Nishino, your "order" didn't go through with me. Then her skills won't work for me either.

A very nasty skilled opponent, but I can't take advantage of her strengths in this one-on-one situation.

Hilariously, look at her.

"Hih..."

No, don't be scared just to look so lightly.

Am I that scared? Or are there 'evolutionary' influences?

No, I don't think so. Nishino, there was nothing wrong with you.

"Why are you so frightened?

"Huh...? No, this is, uh..."

"Doesn't that seem like something backwards, too?

"Huh...!

That said, she was visibly upset.

"Earlier, there was a strange announcement going on in my head. The level of skills called" Interference with Appraisal "has increased."

"... oh, the..."

Pack the twitches and distances.

Every step closer, she retreats with her hips slipped out.

"... ah"

There was no more.

Her back hits the wall.

Put your knees on the ground, pack your face to a distance where exhalation hangs, and look into your eyes.

"Mr. Fifty Storms, don't you have 'appraisal' skills?

"Huh..."

She did not answer.

But that attitude was eloquently telling the answer.

Right, you have it. Otherwise, you can't explain it.

"How did you get that skill? And why were you in this place so late at night?

……

Asking questions, she doesn't answer.

Off your face, squeeze your mouth.

I'm a little frustrated, so I slap the wall beside her face.

Hilarious she was frightened.

"Certain conditions have been met."

"You've earned the skill Intimidation."

"Proficiency reached a certain level."

"Skill Intimidation has gone up from LV1 to 2."

"Proficiency reached a certain level."

"Skill Intimidation has gone up from LV2 to 3."

Oh, they've acquired new skills.

"Intimidation"...... Maybe it's a skill that has the right effect.

I'm just going to activate Intimidation.

"... hih... ahh... ahh..."

Thirty percent more frightened than earlier.

Cheng Cheng, a skill that literally frightens the other person?

Besides, it's nice to activate it optionally, not passively.

"Why...? Well, why isn't it working?

"?... Oh well. You already used it, Skill."

Perhaps in the meantime, she used 'glamour'.

I didn't notice because my skill level didn't increase.

I mean, on the contrary, it was a skill that didn't make me more proficient.

Oh, my God, I lost it cautiously.

"What is it, that?

"Huh?"

"I thought you were on my side."

Nishino told me about the Battle of Alpa.

Afterwards, I also know that I worked hard to rebuild City Hall.

That's why I've done enough to keep my distance from her until today.

But - if you're going to do us harm, it's not the story.

(Oh well. Me, I might be pretty angry...)

It's not just against her.

Against myself, too.

Maybe I was a little sweet.

"If you're going to do us any harm..."

I separated the words once there,

- I'll crush you here.

That's what I declared with the utmost 'intimidation'.

Yes, I will not condone it.

If she turns to our 'enemy', I'll crush her.

I'm finally ready for that.

"Huh...!

I guess it conveyed what I was really saying.

Kokukoku and she shook her head vertically many times.

(Though, I'm not good enough to pepper that...)

There is also the possibility of acting sneezy on the spot.

So let me hang up the 'insurance' properly.

"Okay. Believe it."

"Ho, really?

"Yeah, sure."

Laughs. Finally, "Intimidation" is also removed.

Then you were relieved, she sighed heavily.

At that moment I threw 'something' into her mouth.

"Muggle, what!?"

And he presses his mouth, forcing it to swallow.

Make sure you swallow it thoroughly, and I'll let go.

"Ha... what did you give him to drink?

"It's 'insurance'. Because I don't trust you as much as I believe in words."

Squeeze your fingers gently.

"! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."

At that moment, she held her belly down and suffered.

Nodding on the floor, drooling over tears and snot, she is stuffy with pain.

Ringing my fingers again.

"... Yikes, the pain caught...?

She looks up at me with a face guzzled with fluids.

"Now you understand, don't you? If I wanted to, I could take your life at any time."

"Lying... that's not true..."

"Unbelievable? Then again, would you like to try?

Ringing my fingers again.

"Ma, wait! Believe it! I believe it, so stop it. Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah! Oh, hey... stop, stop... oh hey..."

I glance with cold eyes at the girl who slips to her feet and pleads desperately.

At the same time, guilt builds up.

No matter, not against her.

(... I'm sorry, Aka. Pushing a nasty part)

(…) sieve

Don't do it, Aka shakes simulated on her clothes.

Yes, it's the beeball-sized aka's share of body that I just gave her to drink.

I inflated it in my belly and let it taste the pain of hell. That's all.

After time, Aka's body disappears.

It would be haphazard to be able to kill at any time, but it would be effective enough.

Anyway, she doesn't see my status or skills, so I can limit my actions enough just to make her think 'I have those skills'.

(Around I thought this would be enough, I wonder if it's still sweet...)

If it's true, it would be best if you let him throw up all the information he wants to know, and then kill him, and even feed him monsters.

Or do you think I'll be trapped in a 'shadow cage' like you, Ono?

Around not taking that kind of means, they still think I'm sweet.

But somehow I felt like I shouldn't throw that sweetness away.

Because I felt like I was becoming a more and more different person if I did all this, even though it didn't hurt my heart at all, but I threw it away to its sweetness.... It's a very selfish idea.

"Then can you talk to me? First of all, how did you end up here in the middle of the night like this?

"Oh, yes... actually -"

To summarise the circumstances, this is what happened.

Apparently she was looking into the causes of the destruction of the militia in her and why the people of the town disappeared.

Boiling her work to militia members who wouldn't answer no matter how many questions she asked, she used 'charm' on one of the crew members and was forced to get information.

And I was thinking that the monster in the next town had something to do with why the people of the town disappeared.

"- There was a loud noise and he said he came to find out what it was"

"Yes... and..."

"And? What is it?

I try to squeal my fingers softly.

"Shh, excuse me! I'll tell you! I'll tell you, please stop!

She was obviously relieved when she put her hands down.

"Well, talk to me."

"Ha, yes... well, I hadn't explored this area yet, so I thought there was still a 'crate' left..."

"... treasure chest?

"Ho, it's true! I'm not kidding!

I guess you didn't think I believed you.

She comes to elucidate desperately.

"When you say treasure chest, is that you? That square wooden box was decorated..."

"Yes, that's it. It contains items with skills, healing pills (potions), and useful weapons. Well, sometimes it comes off..."

……

Is it the same kind of chest that I or Mr. Ichinose found...

What we found was an item called "Agility Ring" that went up fast and "Healing Treasure Ball" that didn't know how effective it was, but she said there was a mismatch in the chest.

"Um... what's wrong?

"Oh, no. Really, is it a crate...... What are the items you get skills for?

"This is an item called a Skill Orb. It looks like a clear glass ball, about the size of a baseball ball."

That's about the same size as The Treasure Ball of Healing.

"Ho... you think you have skills in your hands when you use that?

"Yes, red balls gain skill, black balls gain profession, white balls increase status"

Oh, is there such a variety......

Or, after all, besides Ichinose's "Gacha," there are other ways to get skills and professions.

"So, maybe 'appraisal' too?

"... Yes, it's a skill I accidentally acquired from a crate"

"I see..."

Appraisal seems to be somewhat adjustable in scope of use, and if you narrow the subject down to one person, you can take a closer look at the status, skills, etc., and if you multiply the subject, you will be to the extent that you know the name.

So ever since she got her skills, she said she had always used 'appraisals' when she went outside, and had 'names' floating around all the things in her sight. Because of this, they were able to find a hidden chest in a place that they would normally miss.

Incidentally, the current LV for 'appraisal' is 6. They kept using it ever since they got it and raised the level so far.

(My level of "appraisal jamming" was also 6. You mean the same level would be offset...)

I mean, if I hadn't been relative to that intelligent zombie beforehand, my status would have slipped through on her.

I don't know if it's a good time or a bad time.

Anyway, I figured out how she got the 'appraisal' and why she was here.

("Crate" or... I'd like to hold it off as long as I can, considering what's to come)

Mimic possibilities, but the existence of a 'crate' would be quite appealing if she could get not only weapons but even professions and skills, as she put it.

Me and Ichinose have point bonuses and 'cha-cha' due to 'premature maturity', so we can get multiple occupations and skills, but Nishino and Rokuka-chan don't.

If you can gain new power from The Crate, you'll be able to increase your combat power considerably.

(If you can find her efficiently with her 'appraisal', you can also use it...)

Pigs used to find truffles...... no, you're a dog.

Let her take the part.

She's the one who got her hands on it first. Then on the contrary, you won't complain about using it over here.

Let me just say thank you for not killing me.

(... a few days ago, you never thought you'd think this way)

It's a really nasty habit.

Momo, Ichinose, I feel like I could be cruel everywhere to protect my loved ones. To the extent that I don't think it's okay to crush and truncate this student chairman or anyone else.

"I understand the circumstances. Then, once we're done here..."

- I tried to get away, it was the moment I tried to say that.

The surrounding Trents suddenly wandered off.

"Huh... what?

"Is this -?"

The twitching of the trees, too creepy a strange sound to describe.

Is this... frightened?

Trent and the others are frightened?

The surrounding Trents were trembling as if they were screaming 'Scary', 'Scary'.

"What's this... what's this all about?

Behavior distinctly different from that of Trent so far.

I'll soon find out why.

Skills sound the alarm.

It was the next moment.

Unexpectedly, the ground in front of me - broke.

"Hey, what -!?"

"Shh. Avoid it!

Reflectively holding Mr. Fifty Storms, he flies back.

At that moment, countless' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '

Each bottle is thicker than a person's body. That covers up dozens or hundreds of sights like a fountain.

Is that Trent? No, but this...)

Too long.

How many dozens a bottle, or more than a hundred meters if you suck at it?

No, I'll think about it later.

I'm 'nasty'. Definitely 'something bad'.

Skills and instincts are sounding more alarming than ever.

(This presence... the same dragon you fought during the day? No, more than that...?

Impossible.

Whatever it takes. It's...

But before the thought caught up, the "" moved out.

"Ji" twirled like a tentacle and began to wind up to the surrounding Trents.

"... what?

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~!

The wrapped Trent made a squeaky noise and broke lightly.

When he recovers Trent's demonic stone, which fell to the ground, he pulls it straight into the ground.

(What...? Isn't that Torrent?

Other monsters?

No, but why attack Trent instead of us?

Oh, yeah, 'appraisal'.

Wouldn't her "appraisal" tell you who that "" is?

I look at Mr. Fifty Storms on the left.

"Mr. Fifty Storms, can you 'appraise' me?

"Huh? Yes! I'll try!

Face up, she sees the 'Xu' one.

And at that moment...

"Huh? Liar... appraisal, I can't!?"

"No way...... ugh!

At that moment, the tip of the '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '' '

You shouldn't have eyes, but it's like you're looking at this one.

(No way is this... "obstruction of appraisal" just like me -?)

"Hostility" transmitted from the Xu.

The unidentified guy apparently recognized us as' enemies'.

Mazui, I may have made the wrong choice......
