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

"Invasion from another world..."

Mayor Uesugi shrugs in confusion, keeping his eyes open.

The whole meeting room was crouched. Everyone has a bewildered look on their face.

"Honestly, if it hadn't happened before, you would have truncated it as just a paranoia..."

"I agree. The scale of the story is too large."

Fujita nods to follow as well.

I was pretty upset on the inside, too.

I've just been fighting monsters. Things are too different than before.

If I say so, the other world - the other world itself is our enemy.

How good it would have been if the enemy was just a monster.

Ha, thank you and tears. Damn you.

"... unexpected. Honestly, I didn't think you'd believe this much."

"It's a matter of fact. And you don't look like you're lying."

"Heh..."

Mr. Liberl stares at the mayor as he was impressed.

Then Fujita raised her hand.

"Um... May I have a word?

"What could it be?

"I understood how monsters appeared in this world. But then there are a few things I don't know."

"Of course. Go ahead."

Ask him any questions, and Mr. Liberl urges him to continue.

"First of all, why is it our world that has become the foundation? If your life was running out, couldn't you have sent our world to that one?

"I can't do that. Wouldn't it make sense to pour as much water into a bucket with a hole in the bottom? But I can transfer the water inside to the other bucket. Maybe that's the way it is."

"Cheng Cheng... So where are the rest of the world, other than you, now? Earlier, you said there were no other people in this world than yourself..."

"It's the other side of the world, of course."

"The other side......?

"Yes, the world we were in. Everyone lives there."

The conference room shrugs at the words again.

"... didn't the other world have a life expectancy?

"It's not like we're going to have a lifespan any time soon. I can still afford some time. That's why those idiots launched such an outrage. Besides, the monsters have only been summoned, and the two worlds have not completely merged."

You mean a half-mixed state?

I guess that also caused Mr. Liberl's system to be tampered with in such a way that it was convenient for people from different worlds.

What a bunch of them.

"… what exactly is the life expectancy of the world?

"It could be about a year, in this unit of the world."

A year...

Is it short or long?

No, it's like blinking time from the whole world.

"Meanwhile, you're going to crush us and the monsters for the benefit of the fishermen."

"Exactly."

"That sucks..."

The mayor sighs again.

Then now Rokka raised her hand.

"Hey, hey, you got a minute?

"What could it be?

"I know the world is in a terrible state, but then Mr. Rivel said, why don't you just let people do something about it? Because the fusion of the world, the system, it was all created by that person, wasn't it? Then what can he do about it?

"Oh, sure..."

Rokka is right.

Someone who, in a way, can be said to be the culprit of all, but that's why we should also be able to do something about this situation.

From what Mr. Liberl said, the status quo doesn't seem to be what that master wanted either.

"What do you think, Mr. Rivel?

……

Mr. Liberl does not answer.

But after a little silence,

"... I can't"

"Huh?"

"The master... is already dead. At the price of creating the system, the master gave himself and his life. So... he's not here anymore."

"Is...?

We're flabbergasted by that word.

You think the people who built the system aren't here anymore?

"... they needed enormous energy to merge the two worlds. The master replaced the energy by only one person. My master was not only a brain, but a magician, too."

"Mage......?

"Oh, in this world, is it easier to tell if you're a skill holder?

"Was skill magic?

"It's just a different way to call it. The essence is together."

Mr. Rivel looked up at the ceiling and sighed.

"I guess the master's only failure was to make the system available to others. I guess it was supposed to be a remedy to fix a bug in case it happened after I was gone, but they used it the other way around."

What floats in Mr. Liberl's eyes is the color of deep disappointment.

Maybe the person her master entrusted with the system was also a pattern of old knowledge for her.

I guess it's because I trusted you that you can't forgive me for misusing it.

"Hey... what the hell are we going to do?

"If the plan keeps going as planned, the chaos frontier will soon be in its second phase."

"The second stage......?

"Yes - fusion between the two worlds takes place in stages in order to maintain a balance between the two sides. It's all in three stages. Now that first stage." sweep "by monsters. Next is full integration between the two worlds - 'Continental Fusion'.

And when it's over, there will be a final stage for us, the rest of the world - immigration. "

Immigrants - I mean, people from the other side of the world are coming to this side?

"If this happens to 'immigrants', you have no future. Good and slave. Sucks, you'll kill them all."

"Slave..."

"Kill them all..."

Again, the conference room shrugs at those words, which are not calm.

"... are people from different worlds that strong by then? You're the same person we are, aren't you?

"I'm strong. Even if you acquire some skills and evolve your race, it doesn't extend to the inhabitants of our world. Because the people of our world stacked it with decades, hundreds of years. With generations."

Mr. Liberl denies my words with a sinister look on his face.

"Knowledge of the skills, knowledge of the monsters, and the power of the war are overwhelmingly much better for us. Well, if it feels like I've seen it all along, you and... the familiar girl sitting next to it and the blondes with good style over there, and the ones hiding in that shadow (...), then you'll be able to fight enough in the world I was in.

But with just a few of them, you can't deal with thousands or tens of thousands of skill holders, can you?

I can't do that.

Before the overwhelming number of violence, the power of the individual is meaningless.

Does that mean it's the same in all worlds?

"Besides, the system has repainted the laws of the world, and the power of the civilization you have built is no longer functioning unless you pass through skills. Don't you have any idea?

There was a verse in Mr. Liberl's words that occurred to me.

It's Mr. Ichinose's "gun" sitting next to me, my "broken castle hammer", and "safe zone" electricity.

Mr. Ichinose's gun or my broken castle hammer (pilebanker) can't be properly held by ordinary people who don't have skills, and for some reason electricity, gas, radio waves and radio will be available within the 'safety zone'.

This is also probably the result of what she calls the laws of the world being repainted.

The same goes for militia weapons.

Even the original guns and knives cannot be sufficiently powerful without being used in conjunction with professions and skills. That's also why militia members who fought high oaks used to have pieces of equipment.

A world where you can't fight properly or live without skills.

That's our world now.

"Well, then can't we at least discuss it? It's too one-sided."

It was Nishino who raised his voice.

Some nod in tune with his words.

"... well, there must be some of us in the other world who want to reconcile with you and join hands."

"Then..."

"But that's only a very few people. At least the leaders of the world who decided to do this operation have seen you only to the extent of a disturbing primitive. Discussion? Yeah, you can do it, right? By the time I want to ravage you, enslave you, build a stable foundation of life in a new land, create civilized and spiritual relaxation, and somehow listen and reach out to you."

Mr. Rivel talks about the future he will be visiting.

That's too cruel a future for us.

"You don't know the history of this world, but at least you're going through a war, right? Then you'll see, won't you? Whatever the" discussion "is, it's finally a possible option to beat them up, make them remember the pain, make them realize it's dangerous to get their hands on each other. And you don't have that 'power' right now. I told them, 'It's dangerous to get your hands on them. Let's talk about it."

"Oh no..."

No, that's not even the future.

It's just 'despair' that spreads there.

Too big an overwhelming twist is about to swallow us.

"Then..."

But there's no way I can accept that.

I stand up and stare at Mr. Rivel.

"Then tell me what to do! I... We've fought for our lives not to end up like that!

"That's right! Exactly!

"Admittedly, that's the story!

"I'm not kidding, you otherworlds!

"This world is our world! Take advantage of it for your convenience!

"That's right! Yes!"

Everyone stood up so they could tune in to my voice.

I guess everyone thought the same thing.

Among other things,

"Quiet!

The mayor's voice is a wooden spirit.

In a quiet room.

Mayor Uesugi looked around at everyone,

"Don't do it. We're still in the middle of something."

"But, mayor..."

"Shut up."

"Huh..."

It was an awesome sword screen.

Probably the Mayor of Uesugi is feeling more angry than anyone else in this.

The thought you feel should be twice as strong because you are in the position of a leader, the mayor of the bend.

Now the mayor's fist was gripped hard and trembling.

We couldn't say anything more because we all knew it.

"I know how everyone feels. Non was annoyed, but I thought it would boil back. But I'm sure you haven't heard the key yet."

"The key thing...?

The mayor looks at Mr. Rivel.

"Mr. Rivel, this is why your Lord is here."

……

"Until now, the only thing your Lord has spoken to me about is confirmation of the status quo. I didn't come all the way here to tell you that. Based on what I've been saying, I want you to let me hear it. What did your lord come here for?

That's right. I hadn't heard the key yet.

I stare at her too.

Then, Mr. Liberl, he grinned at his mouth all the time.

"Yes, you're right. I didn't come here to give you despair. I came here to make my master's wish come true. I came here to fulfill the last dream that he ever wanted... the future that you wanted."

Mr. Liberl stands up, walks slowly as he is, and comes to my sight.

"There's a way - there is. There's a way to avoid ruin for you and your worst future."

"Huh...!

"But I can't do that alone. I need your help."

So, she goes on.

"If you are willing to resist - if you wish to change your future with me, please take this hand. You are not primitives, slaves, or resources. If you are the same person as us, and you are proud of it -"

Blocking the words, I grabbed her hand.

"- Naturally. I can't give up."

"... thanks. And respect. I am so proud to meet you, from the bottom of my heart."

If you noticed, the clock time was already around twelve o'clock at noon.

The discussion was going to be lengthy, so we decided to take a lunch break here once.

Even so, I have no idea what appetite is.

The mayor and Fujita went to the dining room, but me and Ichinose stayed on the spot and decided to have a light lunch.

Remove confectionery breads, cookies, and beverages from the item box as appropriate.

(Uh, the sweetness of jam bread stains my brain...)

Sometimes you want to eat confectionery bread asexually.

Milk goes with it, doesn't it?

Mr. Ichinose sitting next to him is cheeky with croquette bread.

I ate about half of it and just took a breath she opened her mouth.

"That was a hell of a story."

"Right..."

"What did Mr. Kudo think? Listen to that guy."

"... I don't think you're lying for now"

"Wow."

Momo nods while eating dog food too.

Mr. Liberl is not here right now.

He wanted to talk to Sola, and now he's talking to Sola in the corner of the square outside.

You can also see that from this conference room.

At first there was also an opinion that she should be detained, but with the mayor's voice it was gone.

She took pleasure in accepting this offer as an equal guest only.

And he kept his weapon with us.

I put a cane in my hand.

It would be in her own good faith to have deposited with me the weapon she had.

You don't think it's okay to give it to me, you can store it in the item box.

The item box field was labeled 'Sage's Wand'.

I looked it up in The Right to Question, but this was a hell of a weapon.

"Skill Power Ultra Improvement", "MP Consumption Extreme Reduction", "Constant Status Enhancement Buff Grant", "Reflection", "HP Automatic Fast Recovery", "MP Automatic Fast Recovery" and other absurd performance were granted in large quantities.

It is an incomparable performance to my broken castle hammer (pilebanker) or Ichinose's gun.

"It's a cheat weapon, cheat weapon. He's the type of guy who has a great performance, but for some reason sells for one gold or something."

"I don't know about that expression, but I know what you're trying to say."

By the way, Aka couldn't copy if the performance was too breaking on the boulder.

"... (sighs)" sombo.

"Don't be sorry, Aka. I can't do this to a boulder."

"!... (sighs) Huh" Mhoo

But on the contrary, Aka seems to be in the mood.

I'm willing to make an absolute copy of it one day.

Store the cane in the item box again and cheek the bread.

If you look out the window, Sola's tapping her tail to the ground with a stick, but she's in a good mood.

Looks like your conversation with Mr. Liberl is playing there.

(Nevertheless, did you see through her (...)?)

"... you can come out now"

The shadow at your feet widens.

Then Chairman Fifty Storms showed up.

During that meeting, I had her lurking in my shadow the whole time. Turn off the signs, of course.

There are several reasons, but the primary reason is to have Mr. Liberl's skills' appraised '.

If you are in the Shadow, you can mistake the user of your skills for me.

At the start of the discussion, I didn't trust her. I needed to keep my hands on things.

Well, he seemed to have spotted it perfectly.

- If you're hiding with the Wang Chang people in the shadows (...), you'll be able to fight enough in the world I was in.

Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to say it that way.

... Maybe, like that, he told me normally if I asked.

"Good luck.... 'appraisal' of skills, did you do it?

"Done. Rather than, you didn't seem to intend to hide it."

I guess that's her sincerity, too.

I guess it's also woven where we haven't trusted her yet.

"There will be that, but it probably didn't seem to be a problem where I showed it,"

That's what she said. She gives me the sole on the paper.

I looked at Mr. Liberl's status there, and I was a little nervous.

(That's outrageous, this...)

Sora has been cut out and strong in all we've ever met, but her strength (status) is above that.

I have three unique skills, and I don't even know what they mean.

If we fight properly, she'll be enough to wipe us out on her own.

Next door, Ichinose said, "Such cheats. Do the cheetah," he says.

... Surprisingly, you can afford it?

"Thank you"

"Really, you use it for good, you..."

"I trust you."

"Which mouth says, not at all"

With a sigh of goodness, Chairman Fifty Storms sank into the 'shadows' again.

... with sweet bread and milk packs. I wish I could eat with you anyway.

Nishino looked at it with a subtle expression.

"... I wonder what we're going to be..."

Pompous and grunting Rokuka.

My hand stops eating and the heavy air flows.

It was Nishino who answered. [M]

"... you have to fight"

"But they're not monsters."

But they're trying to kill us.

"That's right..."

"Like I said, if we can solve this with a discussion, we've never been over it. But there's no way you can be ravaged irresistibly by someone trying to kill you. You know that."

".................. yeah"

Rokuka nodded with a slightly more realistic voice.

I sip the coffee Nishino made for you and take a breather.

"Would you like to take your place?

"Oh, I'll take it."

Oh, man, I've got a really hell of a situation.

(... so to speak)

Well, I remember that intelligent zombie.

"- You defeated Peony... that god tree. Definitely got their eyes on you... at best be careful. '

When he left, he said something like that.

Maybe he noticed this, too?

But if so, how did you know?

Well, let's leave it now.

Lunch is over and discussions resume again.

Mr. Liberl started talking about how we could survive.
