Episode 143: Beyond the Underwater Dungeon
"Tonight is a happy day! If it's a drink to celebrate being out of the dungeon, there's nothing to say!
Gonzo looks me in the eye.
He knows I have all kinds of alcoholic beverages, and he wants me to serve them.
"It's so brilliant!
Nil is also in contact with Gonzo as if it was crushed a lot. He looks angry, but his mouth is laughing.
"So-so. Dungeon strategy celebration, let's drink a lot today! The place is a little bad, though.
"As long as you have alcohol, it's not the same anywhere!
"Me and Nil are used to this. I don't really care, and if Gonzo doesn't care, why don't we get drunk here!
"I've been waiting! It is!"
Thus, we prepared the right liquor and dishes to serve.
"Bufuuuuuuu! It's fun!
Gonzo dyed his cheeks in vermilion and shouted aloud with a jock.
"I'm having fun too!
They also drink worm liquor from the Titans, mainly beer.
"Awkward! I like this wine called worm liquor!
I can't tell you how spicy it is. It's delicious!
Gonzo with worm liquor in his mouth while picking dishes.
Sure, Gonzo would make it fun for all the Titans...
It happened, but at the end of the dungeon, I was able to drink with Gonzo. There won't be any more rewards.
The narrow, dusty, dim corridors felt like a very pleasant place just for now.
It goes without saying that Gonzo, who drank alcohol to bathe, was swallowed by alcohol. Soon Gonzo was asleep snoring loudly.
"... I really don't know why I let Gonzo see you like this..."
With his slightly drunk head, he looks at Gonzo's happy sleeping face and mutters.
"I said I'll leave it to the master, but I don't really know what he thinks.
We're not parties, but... when you talk, there's something I can't stand.
I can't forgive them either. I want to bite you to pieces!
"In Rato's case, it's really scary because I can do it..."
"What did you say?
"Nil doesn't have to know. No, you shouldn't know.
"Hmm... you can tell me..."
I've been drinking a lot of Nil and I think I'm a little drunk. She has slightly rough eyes. I always save the amount I drink, and it's never been this far... but for Nil, this dungeon was a spiritually challenging place, so I guess I'm growing my wings.
"I said no.
Master...
Nil is so cute that she dyes her cheeks with vermilion and stretches the end of the word.
If I was aiming for this, I would feel like a little smart (bruise), but in the case of Nil it is definitely natural. I will definitely get up tomorrow morning and apologize for what I did with a blue face. It's so cute in there.
"Time to go to bed.
"Yes... uhh..."
What happened to Nil?
"I was drunk. Don't worry, if the alcohol goes out, it will go back to normal.
Because I drink something that stinks. I'll have enough milk!
Because Rato didn't like the smell of alcohol and couldn't seem to drink it, it was milk.
"I think it's the healthiest and the best, but this is also occasional breathlessness. Forgive me.
"You've already drunk nothing but forgiveness, right?
"Ha ha ha. Yeah, that's right.
I fell asleep that day, delighted to be able to talk to Rato about something I didn't love.
The next morning.
"I'm sorry about thighs and thighs!!
I decided to hear Nil's apology in the morning.
"I don't care, it was cute in the first place, so I guess it was a little useful.
Nil is always nervous, so sometimes it's not enough to get drunk and relax.
"Oh, Master?!
Nil made her face bright red and shy. It's still Nil in here!
"Besides, do you normally get into Ouka?
I think there is something of a concern, and I don't think you're free to come in...
"I think it's probably okay.
With that, we reach Gonzo, where we continue.
As I walked down the long dark, upward path, I was finally able to... see the sunlight in a week's swing.
"Phew! I finally got out!
"Kh... awkward... I finally did it..."
Three years of hard work. The thoughts won't be able to be spoken in a word.
"Good work."
"Buuuuu! Sinya!!
I'm hugging Gonzo for one word. I don't have a hobby for hugging men. Definitely not.
"Dirty, dirty! There's a lot of juice coming out!
"Such a killing! Thank you!
"Well, I know how it feels... but make it crispy.
"That's not how you can do that, right?!
Gonzo's face turns bright red in an instant. After all, it doesn't seem to be the type that women are good at.
The place we came out is the exit of the dungeon along the coastline.
The sound of the waves and the scent of the sea, looking back, the sparkling sea surface and the underwater tunnel dungeon.
I can see a few small wooden boats on the coast, but I don't see anyone.
The grass grows a little from the coast to the inside of the island, as do the bumps and trees. It is a pine tree I have never seen since I came to this world.
The unique leaves of spiny trunks and conifers are spread out sideways and grown.
"It's an interesting tree, isn't it?
"That is a tree called a pine. Not on the continent, would you?
"Maybe... I've never seen it before.
"It was in my hometown. There were also words like pine bamboo and plum.
"There were bamboo and plum, so why not? It's not really a similar place..."
"What are we going to do now?
"That's right. If it hasn't changed yet..."
Gonzo walks straight to the center of the island.
Arriving from behind, a fine wooden wall and gate appear on the other side of the pine tree.
The walls and gates are crafted with a small kasa on which tiles are used.
Plus, the walls are pure white. Probably lacquered, even diamond-shaped watermarks.
The more you look at it, the more similar it is to old Japan.
"Mo, monster?!
The two gatekeepers standing in front of the gate heard a voice of surprise and fear.
He wears a bamboo-knitted (a) rare hat and looks like Gonzo was the first to wear it. It's a belt and a dark blue kimono.
The hair under the cover is black, and the eyes are black. Medium flesh, medium back, small horns, both with blue swords.
My face is very similar. Are you a brother...?
And more than that....
"Ah...."
Shit. I totally forgot, but I had the same reaction when I met Gonzo.
"Wait, wait! Don't wait!
Gonzo raises his hands and runs towards the gatekeeper.
"What guy?!
The gatekeeper looks at Gonzo and puts his hand on the knife that is tied to his waist.
I thought you said it might be okay... but this is no good.
"Don't wait! Heita, heikichi!
"Ha?! Why did you give us our names..."
"I'm not an awkward man! It's Gonzo!
Gonzo shook his hand many times to tell him about himself.
"Gonzo...?... Gonzo?!
"That's not true! I'm not an awkward man!
"You were alive?!
"It's been a tough time. Yeah, yeah."
"What about the monsters there...?
"It's okay. It seems a little different from Yuma... but it's like that, so I won't harm you.
Gonzo explains everything about us and Rato.
"Hah... this big one..."
The two gatekeepers, who were convinced by the explanation, approached Rat in fear and looked up at him in a rare fashion.
"What? Don't look too much.
"Do you know what I'm saying to your brother?
"Don't look too much. I'm telling you.
"Ahahah... I'm sorry! I've never seen anything like this before! Still, your brother is a Watanabe, isn't he?
"I see....?
Didn't you promise not to talk to Watanabe?
Ah...
Speaking of which, I forgot, but the players in the game were silent and expressionless in our world. Well... that's how the demons liked it. Amazing...
Was there an eventual drinking experience with the demons...? Well, people are manipulating it, and you might like it because the behavior itself is reflected...
"I'm out of that promise.
"That's good! I'm sure everybody wants to drink with you!
Who are they... pointing at...?
I hate to come here and drink it every day.
"Besides, Gonzo. You're doing great, aren't you?
The gatekeeper looked at Gonzo's face seriously.
"It's been three years, so it's not like this. The clothes were also given to Shinya.
Gonzo touched his beard and said it was interesting. Was the beard and hair well prepared originally? From our point of view, Gonzo is the only one who knows the opposite, so perhaps he's more uncomfortable with a properly prepared Gonzo...
"Anyway, I'm glad you're back!
Gatekeepers Hayta and Hakichi smile at Gonzo's shoulders.
Apparently, only some people hate it.
"Hayta and Hakichi are still alike, so I'm relieved!
"What is that?! You're telling me we're the doorman who won't come up?!
"No, that's not true!
"... ahaha! I'm kidding. I'm kidding!
Besides, if you're back, why don't you head straight to Genjiro?
"That's not true. May I come through?
"Of course. I just wanted to say...."
Called Hakichi looked up at Rato.
"If you keep going, the whole city will be fucked up.
I wish it was a landmark so I could know it was some kind of friend demon... "
"A landmark?"
"That's not true... the guards won't fly in if you keep going..."
Rats are big and stand out... landmarks... yes!
When I open the inventory, I take out the textiles I get from the dwarves.
"Why not? Isn't it a very beautiful fabric?
"A dish made by… masters of the continent.
Choose a red-toned fabric to stand out.
"Rat. It may be a little cramped, but you have to hold on.
I'll wrap the dough around my neck and make it look like a bandana.
I'm fine with this!
Rats look proudly at the fabric wrapped around their necks. You're so cute even though you're big...
"How about this?
I see. You can tell at a glance. You can go through!
The two of you open the gate.
"Don't drink it again!
"Oops!
Gonzo, who greeted Hayta and Hakichi, dives through the gate.
The view I was waiting for at the gate was, as I imagined... no, it was more than that.
All the people on the road are wearing kimonos, and men waste two. Women are also wearing waste clothes for women. Many men wear knives. But it's not a trick.
Everyone has horns on their foreheads, which seems normal here.
All women wear gorgeous colored kimonos and tie their hair together. On the tied hair is a hairpin. In the belt, the bellows.
Lined between the boulevards are earthen walls and lacquered wooden buildings.
The shop has a warm curtain (goodwill).
There is a luggage truck on the road that is widely taken, and you can see that it is a vibrant city with many things on it, and at the store, the shopkeeper keeps his voice up for sale.
"This is Ouka Island!
"Well, it's completely different from the city I imagined..."
Wow! There are so many like Gonzo!
Gonzo boasts, Nil is a little overwhelmed, Rato has a unique sensitivity and looks at the streets.
"Is it very similar to your husband's hometown...?
"You look alike!... maybe.
I'm not a person from an age when this city is alive, and it's just an image, but it's a landscape as it is.
"What do you think?
"I'm so excited.
"Don't tell me you're excited..."
"Really?
"No, your husband is always excited.
How does Nil know...? Strange.
The people on the road look at us… to be precise, look at rats and show their scary faces, but thanks to the woven fabric wrapped around their necks, they don't make noise, they show a convincing face before returning to their work.
"So... what do we do first?
"I would like to show you Ouka Island... but first I will go to see my master. I have to tell him I'm back safely.
I see.
Walk around the city after Gonzo.
Take a short walk along the main street, enter the branched path, and continue slightly.
The boulevard was very busy and full of people's voices and sounds, while the hustle and bustle calmed down like a lie when one entered the back.
Unlike the horrible ones, they're quiet and calm... just like that.
The trail will be a little narrow for Rato, but there is nothing he can't get through.
If you go down such a slightly dim path, the path becomes a little wider after a while. After that, a long wall appears in the right hand.
It's too long to know how long it's been going on.
"So big..."
Even in Japan in the past, it seems that samurai (samurai), or samurai (buke) mansions, ranged from 500 tsubo to 1,000 tsubo.
I don't know how many numbers are too large, but I've heard stories about how it reaches about a kilometer and a half and a thousand tsubos at 500 tsubos and three kilometers on one side.
Three kilometers from the end of the house's land to the end.....
Segway isn't enough...
It seems that there were many buildings and gardens in the grounds, such as the main house, the house where the servants lived, the house of the servants who served the Lord, etc., but it was still big.
"This is the Master's residence.
"Genjiro Pane..."
Four demons may be in a higher position than I thought.
"There is an east gate just a short walk away.
East Gate...? How many gates does the house have?
After a short walk, the gate called the East Gate appears.
I can tell from the length of the wall, but it's a huge gate. There is another door at the gate that is large enough for people to come and go.
"Ooh! Kanji! Long time no see!
Standing in front of the gate is a small, youth-like man with short green hair, brown eyes and short corners.
Small but muscular enough to give a powerful image. The teeth are a little long and the white teeth come out a little from the mouth.
She has a bright green sword on her waist.
"... who is it?!
"I'm not an awkward man!
"... that voice and how to talk... is that... Mr. Gonzo?!
"I'm glad you understand! That's my apprentice!
Nick, Gonzo laughs at a young man called Kanji.
"Go, Mr. Gonzo! Were you alive?! What was that big dog called?!
I'm not a dog, I'm a wolf.
"Hey... there's too much information to keep up with?!
Kanji is completely panicked.
Looks like he's in a hurry.
"It will calm down. I thought I'd say hello to Master because he's finally back.
May I come through?
"Of course! You don't have to ask yourself!
"It's been a long time, and things may have changed.
We will talk about it later, and now we will go to Master first. These are the benefactors who saved my life. Don't be rude.
Yes!
When Kanji answers cheerfully and gets close enough to us, he keeps his head down momentarily.
"Thank you for saving my brother Gonzo! I want to thank you!
Don't be so loud...
"Gonzo saved us too. More like a benefactor than a comrade... Thank you for not being too nervous.
"For me... thank you!!
Kanji lowered his head more momentum than before without saying he was impressed.
"Well... the awkward first comes to the master and talks all the way.
Kanji, don't ask for anything later.
"Leave it to me!
Gonzo walks somewhere after a faint smile.
Well then, everyone! This way, please!
Overall, is the voice big... the specification?
"I'll name it first. I'm Sinya. This is Nil. So it's Rato.
"I remember! Thank you!
I am Kanji! Best regards,
Gabba!
He's the one who keeps his head down a lot...
"I'll show you!
The Japanese house is the first place to be guided to Kanji. Wooden architecture, tiled. What a barrier! I have to take off my shoes, and it's completely Japan.
The way we got through, the end of the barrier was small and clean, and the vase had lovely flowers. Looks like a guest room...
By the way, did you think about rats that don't fit the size of the house? In the place facing the garden, rats lie down on the side of the garden and make good children.
"Please wait a moment!
After we get through the room, Kanji quietly goes out and quietly closes the barrier. And... I hear footsteps running around.
Sweet stuffing. It's Kanji.
"Wonderful floorboards, isn't it?
"If you ask me, this is the first time I've seen it. It's called a tatami mat.
"Tatami... you smell good.
Woosh, Nil inhales air with his nose.
If I do the same, the unique good smell of Igusa will remain behind my nose.
"Thank you for waiting!
Kanji, who returned to the other side of the barrier, announced the entrance loudly.
Beyond the woosh open barrier, you'll find tea and tea on the basin.
"Excuse me!
Quietly placed at a low table in front of Nil and I.
Unlike Manju, I've never seen tea.
Should I say that it looks like an elongated piece of grass...?
Tea also smells different from Japanese tea.
