Day 391-400/Day 394

Day 394
There is not much to talk about today.
It was an pleasant day enjoying an elegant boat trip and fishing, etc.
So, for today, let's talk about how everyone else is doing.
First of all, Minokichi-kun and Asue-chan arrived safely in the 【Dynasty Dungeon】 and started its capture.
While there were various accidents caused by unfortunate misunderstandings along the way, it seems that the two demon's short trip was comfortable.
It was impressive that Minokichi chatted happily while also being thoughtful.
It might be a little horrible if you think of the amount of blood flowing in the shadows, but it is a result of my own shortcomings due to my casual and easygoing behavior, letting things softly pass out of consciousness.
When they were diving lightly, it seems that the dungeon was destroyed all the way down to the tenth floor of the 【【Gods Age Dungeon】 - 【Dynasty of Ruins】 - 【Demon Tomb of the Ruins】 【Mimanaya · Pandama】 which is classified as an underground hierarchical type.
The hierarchical boss that was on the tenth floor "Geoen of the Ruins" was frustrated because it was weak, so Minokichi-kun returned at once and finished securing bases etc. by sending orders with the ear cuffs to the divisions, then returned to challenge it in earnest, as planned.
Minokichi-kun was supposed to prey on 【The Ruined Tomb】, a still undefeated 【God's Age Dungeon】, the party that reached the deepest part seems to be a party called [Brutality], the farthest confirmed was up to the 60th floor underground.
They abandoned the capture strategy thought up by quite the skilled person because there was a robustly protected city here.
For this reason [God of the Ruins] created the remains only from the 30th floor down - Consuming 【Divine Power】 when building from scratch is too much of a strain for the entire dungeon, now it seems to be like an urban fight or a siege battle because it is supposed to have reduced the cost by diverting the real defenses to the lower levels.
Many human-type dungeon monsters appear, and their strengths and abilities are also to fall apart.
Depending on the individual, they seem like soldiers who lives in a real city, such as being weak at close quarters and strong at ranged, or vice versa, or they could even specialize in healing.
It seems that their intelligence is also high, when it comes to urban battle, such as knowing how to use blind spots, passing through a building to strike suddenly, even destroying their own buildings or burning them up.
If it becomes a siege battle, it will be challenging when only a few challenge a dungeon originally meant to be tackled by multiple people. Considering that there are weapons, such as ballistas etc., attached to the thick walls, how much is the difficulty increased without a strategy to deal with that?
It seems that it have a structure that is a bit funny inside, apparently a bit different from the simple specifications used above.
When I heard the story, I thought that it was troublesome but just as interesting, at the same time I was convinced that this would not just be a tourism resource.
Civilization that existed before is no longer present. It is a past that can not be seen in modern theory, it is simply history.
I really want to see it, I want to feel it on my skin, he who thinks so is certain to be attracted to this place. There may not be so many in number, but there are certain to be business opportunities.
It is still unknown how much benefit the new continent will gain us, but it will definitely be helpful from now on.
If you keep rooting around the world like this, if you plan a refurbishing tour around the world by our refined dragons, a great voyage in a luxurious passenger boat, or anything else.
The rich will pay a lot of money for what was previously impossible to achieve normally. It may be troublesome for royalty to stay away from their homeland for a long time, but if they are also able to use communication ogres, it seems they will be able to do anything.
If traces of the past civilization are actually left behind, it may be possible to obtain lost technology now.
There were various other things to think about, especially on how to utilize them.
For the time being I will try to send additional members.
I do not participate in the capture, but let them take care of personal belongings, office work, and etc.
There is a work more suitable for the second demon anyway, like writing out a translation saying that those who dispatched miscellaneous affairs to the secondary members and who poured out their strengths are not needed.
Next is Sato and Sei, but the two demons broke down after a few days and became the top ranking fighters of a big battle field after one too many battles, reigning as absolute queens.
Why was it so?
To briefly explain the flow of events, firstly the demons sought a practice area for the swords and new magic spells from the Grimoire they bought from the death merchant Grandes.
It seems that he felt the power of the two demons just through his skin, and [Death Merchant Grandes] made every effort to politely and promptly make their wish come true.
In that case, not only will the customer be satisfied, but it also would have been more likely to bring the maximum benefit for himself later on.
To know the exact fighting ability of the two demon, that may have been the reason, such as it is.
Anyway, there was a battle at a big fighting field that was promptly organized.
Sato's first opponent is Hope, currently on sale.
Brown skin, with sexy eyebrows, with a splendid curvature, an idol-like youth with many female fans. When he comes out he says that a bright cheering fills the area.
That rough star is a man of strength who won a battle against opponents that did not appeal to others too much, and he seems to be increasing the number of fans each time he fights.
He seems to have a serious personality, he seems to be a good young man who does not seem to deal in backstabbing or blatant lies, and it can only be said that the other party was bad in comparison.
This time though, the young man seems to have ended up beaten down. Without much of a chance to take charge during the match, he found himself with all of his armor and weapons cut away, down to his underwear. After being so exposed he drew away out of simple fear despite being injured, in a state of nakedness.
If he was the only victim, it would have been recoverable in the future, but the damage is too great mentally and socially. It would not be an overstatement to say that the battle was like a public execution.
However, the battle was against a party of several people that were all done in the same way, or even more severely in some cases, so it is probably okay.
It should be noted that it was only the young man, who was attacked more or less, was the only one able to fight back.
Basically he moved how Sato fought when she was less hurt, but there were some differences.
A Desert Pig Sand Oak, who was active as a villain on the battlefield is called "Sexual Desire Rafta". He threw away his reason after using an illegal magic drug, and attacked his opponents sexually in front of the crowd as if he were back in the wild. It seems like a mass of pork that can be discarded because of its action, just with a touches in a weak spot by Sato.
Although some details are omitted, it seems that it was quite gross to see meat being minced thinking about the creatures that were materials.
Personally I like it, but that's about it.
As a result of Sei did something like that, for the two demons to reign in the stadium.
I heard that she was just concerned with her own things now, or it is better to say she was tired of bullying the weak opponents, she seems to simple be disarming them anyhow.
There seems to be a second demon fighting, but in a serious battle the big stadium would collapse, so they held themselves back to the extent that they can play.
Still it seems quite exciting, so the business of Death Merchant Grandes will prosper.
No, I may come out ahead with the healing charge.
Well, anyway, I am am having fun being a demon and am just enjoying the present.
Seiji-kun, continues to treat others normally as well.
At first it seems that it the cost is slightly higher than average so as not to deprive the existing working [doctors] and [clerics], but it still may be drawing people due to the difference in their working.
Every day on Seiji's Saiko row of patients will form up but disappear, then it will repeat.
In addition to having a short treatment time, it does not require time even for the usual hard-to-treat diseases due to his overwhelming healing ability.
Then, because its efficiency is too good, it seems that the number of patients needing treatment seems to be decreasing somewhat recently.
Although it is rather peaceful and the work is progressing smoothly, there seem to have been some occasions where people tried to hurt Seiji because of various reasons such as making it so others are not able to eat, obstructing their own work, or simply appearing to be taking money out of their pockets, etc.
Well, that kind of fellow will be in any place, but because they are at a level that even Seiji can handle, it does not appear it will become a problem either.
Since that comes to mind, it will not even be possible for their enemies to even touch them, and if they still get in the way, it will be easy enough to cope with by using a storm of blows while continuing to recover.
Seiji-kun's appearance, while laughing with Kugime's as she uses her full power with a smile, has a very strong mental impact.
However, in the majority of those cases, when their students attack the weak points of Ai-chan and Kugime, who are together, occasionally a strange case occurs where an incident of a strong stench occurs in the back alleys.
No one bothers to talk about what the raw material of the spilled liquid is.
However, since the bad odors negatively effect the feelings of the irrelevant residents, keep in mind that they should pay as much as possible for cleaning tools available. Disposing of garbage is important after all.
Anyway, Seiji, who gradually increases our influence, will be able to trust that his back is safe, and live with peace of mind.
Other members such as Mr. Ramura and Akihiro are doing their best in other places, but let's talk about that on another occasion.
There is not enough time to tell all about all the flowing stories.

“三百九十四日目”
　今日は特に語る事は無い。
　快適な船旅を満喫し、釣りなどを楽しむ優雅な日だった。
　折角なので、他の皆について語る事にしよう。
　まず、ミノ吉くんとアス江ちゃんは無事に他の【神代ダンジョン】に到着し、攻略を開始した。
　道中色々な誤解から不幸な行き違いがありつつも、二鬼の小旅行は快適だったらしい。
　惚気ながらミノ吉くんが楽しそうに語っていたのは印象深い。
　その陰に流れた血の量を思えばちょっとしたホラーかもしれないが、まあ、短慮で軽はずみな行動による自業自得の結果なので、そっと意識の外に追いやる事として。
　軽く潜って見たところ、地下階層型に分類される【遺跡の亜神】が創造した【神代ダンジョン】――【遺跡の陥墓塔ミーマナヤ・パンダマ】の十階まで踏破したらしい。
　十階に居た階層ボス“遺跡の番人グゥエン”は弱かったのが不満らしく、ミノ吉くん達は一度戻ってイヤーカフスの分体の指示で拠点などの確保を終えた後、本格的に挑む予定だそうだ。
　ミノ吉くん達に獲物として見定められた【遺跡の陥墓塔】はまだ未踏破の【神代ダンジョン】で、最も深く潜ったのはどこぞの【英勇】のパーティらしく、地下六十階まで確認されている。
　かなりの実力者だったという彼等が攻略を断念したのは、ここに堅牢な防塞都市が在ったからだそうだ。
　というのも、ここは【遺跡の亜神】が創造しただけに、三十階から下には過去に実在した遺跡で構成――一から造ると消費する【神力】が膨大すぎるので、今は無き本物を流用してコストを抑えたのではないかと思う――されている為、市街地戦や攻城戦のようになるらしい。
　出現するのはヒト型のダンジョンモンスターが多く、また強さも能力もバラバラだ。
　個体によっては近接は弱くても遠隔は強いとか、その逆だったり、あるいは治癒に特化しているなど、本物の都市に暮らす兵士のような感じらしい。
　知能も高いらしく、市街地戦になれば増える死角を利用したり、建物の中を通ったりして不意を突いたり、あるいは建物ごと破壊したり炎上させる事もあると言う。
　攻城戦にもなれば、本来多人数で挑むようなそれに少数で挑む事になる。バリスタなど分厚い城壁に取り付けられた兵器などもある事を考えれば、その攻略難度はどれ程のモノだろうか。
　これまでのようなある意味単純な仕様とはまた違う、中々面白そうな構造をしているようだ。
　話を聞いて、面倒だが面白そうだと思うと同時にこれは観光資源になるな、と確信した。
　実在した今は無き文明。それは本来なら見る事の出来ない過去であり、歴史である。
　実際に見たい、肌で感じたい。そう思う者は必ず居る。数はそこまで多くないかもしれないが、商機は確かにあるだろう。
　新大陸の気風的にどれ程の利益が得られるかはまだ未知数だが、今後は必ず役に立つ。
　このまま世界中に根を張っていけば、精製竜達による世界一周の旅、豪華客船で大航海、とか企画すれば、大繁盛間違い無しだ。
　普通なら実現不可能なコレ等の為に、金持ちは大金を払ってくれるだろう。王侯貴族が祖国から長期間離れたりするのは問題かもしれないが、そこは通信鬼なども併用すればどうにでもなりそうだし。
　それに過去の文明が実際に残されているとすれば、現在は失われた技術が得られるかもしれない。
　活用方法など、思いつくだけで他にも色々あった。
　とりあえず追加で団員を派遣しようと思う。
　攻略には参加しないが、身の回りの世話や事務仕事などをさせるのだ。
　二鬼にはもっと適した仕事があるのだから、雑務は派遣した団員に任せ、そちらに力を注いでくれた方が無駄がないと言う訳だ。
　次はブラ里さんとスペ星さんだが、二鬼は僅か数日にして大闘技場の剣闘士ランキング上位者ランカーを一対多戦であらかた打破し、絶対女王として君臨している。
　何故そうなったのか。
　流れを簡単に説明すれば、まず二鬼は購入した刀剣の試し切りと、魔術書グリモワールから学んだ新魔術の試し撃ちの場を直接接待した【死の商人グランデス】に求めた。
　二鬼の実力を肌で感じているらしい【死の商人グランデス】は丁寧に、そして迅速にその願いを叶えるべく全力を尽くした。
　その際、顧客が満足するだけでなく、最大限自身の利益にもなるように動いたのは流石だろう。
　二鬼の正確な戦闘能力を知る為、といった理由もあっただろうが。
　ともあれ、そうして組まれた大闘技場の一戦。
　ブラ里さんの最初の相手は現在売り出し中のホープ。
　褐色の肌が色っぽい眉目秀麗な曲剣使いの青年で、アイドルのように女性ファンがとても多い。彼が出ると黄色い声援が満ちると言う。
　荒くれ者はそれが気に食わない、と対戦を組むがその悉くに勝利した実力者であり、戦う度にファンを増やしているらしい。
　性格は真面目で、裏表がない好青年のようだが、相手が悪かったと言うしかない。
　青年は結果として終わった時には怪我一つ負っていないにも関わらず、武具から下着まで全て切り落とされた裸一貫の状態で、恐怖から縮んだ息子を大衆に晒したらしい。
　もし彼だけが被害者ならば、今後は立ち直れないだろう精神的にも社会的にもダメージが大きすぎるやり方だ。
　公開処刑といっても過言ではないだろう。
　しかし続けて行われた徒党を組ませた数名との戦いもまた同じように、あるいはもっと酷い事になったので、多分大丈夫だ。
　それに多少なりとも攻撃を受け、反撃する事が出来たのは青年だけだった点は評価すべきだろう。
　基本的にはあまり怪我をさせないブラ里さんの戦い方だったが、例外はあった。
　違法魔法薬で理性が吹き飛び、本性剥き出しで大衆の面前で対戦相手を性的な意味で襲ってきた“性欲のラフタ”と呼ばれ歴戦の悪役として活躍していた砂漠豚鬼サンドオークなどは、ブラ里さんの逆鱗に触れる言動によってそのまま廃棄処分されるだけの豚肉の塊みたいになったらしい。
　詳細は省くが、ミンチ肉って素材だった生物の事を考えると結構グロいのではないだろうか。
　個人的には好きだけど、それはさて置き。
　そんな感じの事をスぺ星さんも行った結果、二鬼は闘技場に君臨した訳である。
　ただ今は自重したのか、それとも弱い者虐めみたいで飽きたのか、それはともかくまた武具などを漁ったりしているらしい。
　二鬼が戦う事もあるようだが、本気の一戦では大闘技場が崩壊しかねないので、戯れる程度に抑えられている。
　それでもかなり盛り上がったそうなので、【死の商人グランデス】の商売は繁盛しているだろう。
　いや、修繕費で頭を抱えているかもしれないが。
　まあ、ともかく二鬼なりに楽しみを見つけ、今を満喫中である。
　セイ治くん達は、今も普通に治療を続けている。
　一応、既存の【薬師】や【医者】や【聖職者】達の仕事を奪わないよう、平均的な設定金額よりも若干高くしているようだが、腕が違いすぎるのが原因だろうか。
　日々セイ治くんのところには患者の列が出来ては消え、出来ては消えていく。
　それは治療時間が短い事に加え、他よりも圧倒的な治癒能力によって難病でも時間を必要としないからだ。
　すると効率が良過ぎるので治療を必要とする患者の数が最近は何だか減っているような気がするらしい。
　中々平和的で作業も順調であるが、時折、単純に気に食わないとか、邪魔だとか、金を持っているとか、色んな理由からセイ治くん達を害そうとする者も居たようだ。
　まあ、そういった輩は何処にだって居るだろう。セイ治くんでも十分対処できるレベルなので、問題にもならない。
　その気になればまず触れる事すら出来ないだろうし、邪魔になれば回復し続ける打撃の嵐で対処するに違いない。
ニコニコ笑いながら全力でメイスを叩きつけて来るセイ治くんの姿は、中々精神的な衝撃が大きいのである。
　ただ大体の場合、そういった輩は一緒に居るアイ腐ちゃんやクギ芽ちゃんの逆鱗に触れる事をする為、時折路地裏には悪臭を放つ腐液が発生するという怪事件が発生する。
　腐液の原材料が何だったのかはわざわざ語るまでもないだろう。
　ただ悪臭は無関係な住民の気分を損なうので、腐液の掃除道具くらいは支給しておこうと心に留めておく。
　ゴミの処分は大切だ。
　ともあれ、じわじわと影響力を拡大させていくセイ治くん達は安心して後ろを任せられるというものだ。
　他にもラムラさんや熱鬼くんといった団員達も別の場所で頑張ってくれているが、それはまた別の機会にでも語るとしよう。
　流石に全てを語るのは時間が足りない。
