Episode 16 1st Regular Report Meeting
“…From now on, we will begin the first regular report meeting.”
midnight.
With Albedo's words, the first meeting of the regular report meeting held once every three days began quietly.
The location is the round table room on the ninth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.
The 13 participants are Momonga, Peroroncino, Ulberto, Albedo, Shalltear, Cocytus, Aura, Mare, Demiurge, Sebas, Shizu, Entoma, and Nigun. In the corner of the room, there are also two general maids, and a total of 15 people have gathered in this room. The rest of Narberal, Yuri, Solution, and Lupusregina are on standby at each team's site, ready for whatever happens.
It is not necessary for all the main members to participate in this regular report meeting, but it is enough for those who can act at that time to participate as representatives, so it can be said that this time it was a good gathering.
Momonga nodded to himself and turned his gaze to Albedo to continue the conversation. Albedo bowed her head slightly as if she knew it, and then she once again turned her gaze around her.
“This time, I, Albedo, have been appointed by Momonga-sama to play the important role of moderator.
"I don't mind. Please fulfill that important role firmly."
"Nice to meet you, Albedo."
Worrying about Albedo, who was a little nervous, Ulberto and Peroroncino spoke kind words to each other.
Albedo lowered his head even more deeply as if moved, and then tightened his face to meet the expectations of the Supreme Lord.
First of all, it was decided that the representatives of Albedo's progress would report on each of the three days.
Only three days, but three days. It didn't seem like there would be much to report in such a short period of time, but all the teams were doing their part more than expected. In addition, all teams will report on the past three days in detail so that there are no omissions. Even with just one team, there was a certain amount of information, and although it was very meaningful, it took a reasonable amount of time.
Momonga was the first to report.
Momonga and Narberal's adventurer team is about adventurer registration and the mission they are currently carrying out .
Shalltear twitched slightly at the point of handing over the potion to the locals, but before she could open her mouth, Ulbert raised his hand and opened his mouth.
"...That might be a little bad, Momonga-san."
“Eh!?
"I looked around the imperial market on the first day... I didn't see a single red potion there. There may not be the potion I used."
“……………………”
Ulbert's words made the place quiet.
Momonga repeated agitation and calming down in her mind, Peroroncino kept her mouth open in amazement, and Ulberto shrugged his shoulders.
While Shimobe and the others glanced at each other, wondering what to do with their masters' indescribable state, Shalltear slowly raised her small, trembling hand above her head.
“Mo, Momonga-sama…is it okay if I confirm one thing…?”
"... what, Shalltear...?"
“The person who gave the potion to you… ah, is it a woman with short red hair…?”
"That's true, but... how do you know that?"
Shalltear's body trembled in fright when Momonga asked while remembering what happened at the inn.
Once Shalltear let out a throaty sound, then she stared at Momonga with strong eyes as if she had made up her mind.
“During today's mission, I encountered a group of adventurers, and among them there was probably a person that Momonga-sama handed over the potion. , I destroyed it on the spur of the moment, but..."
Shalltear gave an explanation while glancing at us, but Momonga and the others didn't understand why this happened in the first place.
Momonga and Ulberto looked at Peroroncino, but Peroroncino also had a confused expression on his face .
With prompting glances from the Supreme Lords, Shalltear gave her throat a gurgling sound once more before opening her mouth to report the full story.
Thanks to the efforts of Sebas, Solution, and Lupusregina, we were able to lure out a group of mercenaries who had fallen into bandits. I went to their hideout and succeeded in capturing a man with martial arts called Brain Angrause . take Brain to Nazarick, while Shalltear was hunting the remaining remnants. At that time, "Blood Frenzy" was activated, and unfortunately, I encountered a group of adventurers who seemed to be passing by. A female adventurer threw a potion at her, and she regained her sanity for a while. was thrown into the prison of All the remaining adventurers were dealt with, but only one escaped.As a result of releasing his relatives to capture them somehow, he encountered a mysterious group capable of destroying his relatives, and at that time, the group was annihilated by the hands of Peroroncino, who happened to return . The adventurers were captured by Entoma's family, but in exchange, the woman Momonga gave her a potion was left behind in a cave prison.
Shimobe and the others suggested that the female adventurers should be collected immediately, but Momonga intervened.
It's true that leaving a female adventurer alone is risky, but there might be an adventurer behind the scenes. If we went to retrieve the female adventurer and there were more sightings, it could have increased the risk.
Luckily, Shalltear was only seen in her true form by female adventurers, and her name was unknown .
Certainly the presence of female adventurers is a factor of concern, but right now I'm more concerned about the mysterious group that Peroroncino has annihilated.
The fact that he was able to destroy Shalltear's apostles means that in this world, it is highly likely that he was a powerful person.
What kind of group were they and why were they there?
At this point in time, I thought that I should have captured at least one of Peroroncino himself, but it was already a later festival.
“Ah, but I brought back the equipment and weapons for now!
"Right... well... let's check it after everyone's report is over."
"Then, I will arrange it like that."
Following Momonga's words, Albedo immediately turned his attention to the general maid waiting in the corner of the room. The maids immediately bowed their heads deeply and quickly left the room without making a single sound.
Momonga and the others also see off their backs, and resume the continuation of the report.
The next person to report is Ulbert.
Ulberto, Yuri, and Nigun's worker team decided to base themselves at the "Singing Ringotei" at this stage. Demonstrating against adventurers and workers guarding relatives of those in the Imperial military. After that, I participated in the performances in the arena and reported all the results. I will explain all my thoughts on the concept of level and experience points in this world, including the fact that Nigun's level has increased.
"... I see. Then Mr. Ulbert will concentrate on raising the level of Yuri and Nigun for a while, rather than fame."
"I'm thinking of continuing to increase my reputation as a team, but I'm thinking of holding back a little. Even if I continue after that, I don't think it's going to be much of a disadvantage."
"Well, that's right... If Mr. Ulbert is fine with that, I don't mind."
"I have no objections."
With the approval of Momonga and Peroroncino, Ulberto responded with a smile.
"Then next is me!"
After Ulberto finished his report, Peroroncino raised his right hand and raised his voice.
What he reports is the progress and status of the expedition in the Tob Great Forest with Cocytus and Aura. It was also about the current situation in Carne Village, which is mainly Marley.
About a fifth of the Great Forest of Tob has already been explored, and all the creatures that inhabit the area have been documented. He also reported that he had captured a magical beast called the "Wise King of the Forest" and had demonstrated it as a follower of the adventurer Momon, who Momonga is currently disguised as. He didn't report much about Carne Village, but he reported in detail on the progress of reconstruction and the degree of friendship the villagers had with them.
“Unfortunately, Enri-chan and Nemu-chan have not been defeated yet, but we will continue to do our best!!”
"... ah, well... do your best..."
Both Momonga and Ulbert lightly brushed aside the final statement of determination, and turned their gazes to the facilitator, Albedo, to quickly move on. Albedo silently nodded once, and proceeded to report on the next team.
So far, only Sebas, Solution, Lupusregina's merchant team and Demiurge's main consumable item production method research team have not yet reported.
But unlike the other teams, these two teams still didn't have much to report.
The merchant team will report on the merchants they have contacted so far and where they are currently staying. Only about where you're going in the future.
As far as the investigation team for the production method of consumable items, it was only a report of the place that was decided as a base for future activities.
Sebas and Demiurge bowed their heads deeply with words of apology in a state where they had not yet achieved any results.
But Momonga, Ulberto, and Peroroncino had no intention of blaming them for that. Conversely, it would be more surprising if some kind of result was obtained in a short period of three days.In particular, the roles that Sebas and Demiurge were in charge of would take a lot of time, so he would encourage them not to be too hasty or overwhelmed.
"...Ah, but many things happen in the short period of three days. Isn't it more like a game than a game?"
"Certainly... But above all, I'm curious about the identity of the mysterious group that Peroroncino destroyed.
"Hmm, I didn't even give them that much time to let them go~. I might be able to find out something if I check their equipment..."
Ulberto let out a big sigh as if he was amazed at Peroroncino who scratched his head with his index finger.
While Momonga tried to follow Peroroncino, who shrugged his shoulders awkwardly, suddenly a knock sounded from the door, and about ten general maids rushed into the room between the round tables.
In their arms, they carry many pieces of equipment and weapons. Perhaps they are the equipment and weapons of the mysterious group. The general maids followed Albedo's instructions and arranged the equipment on top of the round table while receiving the gazes of the guardians who had expressions of curiosity on their faces. Momonga, Ulberto, and Peroroncino also stood up from their chairs with curiosity, and each picked up the equipment and weapons that were nearby.
Next to Peroroncino, who is staring at me again, Momonga and Ulberto each <
The many pieces of equipment in front of me don't have a sense of unity at all, and some of them, unbelievably, look like high school uniforms or Chinese dresses... to say the least, they don't suit this world at all.
“…This design definitely involves the player, right?”
"... Almost certainly, I guess so..."
"Wow, this
"Seriously! ……Whoa, isn't this completely behind the player? It's definitely bad."
The more they examined the equipment and weapons, the more the worst situation came to mind, and the three of them looked at each other while sweating coldly.
But they don't know that this is just the beginning.
Momonga picks up equipment that closely resembles a Chinese dress
Peroroncino and Shimobe and the others stared at them with a bewildered look on their faces as they stopped moving like statues.
"Fu, both of you...? What's wrong with those clothes and the spear...?"
Peroroncino timidly called out on behalf of the bewildered Simobes.
Momonga looked back at Peroroncino with a terribly slow movement, and Ulberto's face was lowered and his hand holding the spear was trembling slightly.
“…………Lud……In Mu……”
"yes?"
"...
“Eh, hey, are you serious!?”
"There is no mistake! I have confirmed it many times!!"
"...this one too..."
""……What……?""
As if covering Momonga's excited voice, Ulberto let out a few words.
When Momonga and Peroroncino turned their gazes to Ulberto, Ulberto held out the spear he was holding with his hands still trembling.
"... this one too, this one too...! This spear too!
"What!?"
"No way!?"
"...that's just
"Huh!!?"
Momonga and Peroroncino were at a loss for words after hearing Ulberto's bombastic remarks. However, both of them are standing dumbfounded with their mouths wide open .
in the first place
The fact that I got two such items at the same time.
No matter how deformed the spirits of Momonga and the others, the magnitude of the shock and astonishment they received was immeasurable.
Even now, Ulberto and Peroroncino are completely absent-minded, and Momonga's mind is repeatedly being suppressed.
While Shimobe and the others were trembling with their masters' unusual state, it was Momonga who finally recovered.
"... Phew... No way
""...Ha...!!"
Ulberto and Peroroncino finally regained their composure to Momonga's voice.
The two of them took a deep breath to calm themselves down, and once again looked at the Chinese dress and spear in the hands of Maji Maji, Momonga, and Ulberto.
"... First of all, here
"What the hell!"
〈
Ulbert also frowned, then looked down at the spear in his hand.
"...This is
Looking at the Simobes who were listening to their master's conversation with a serious expression, Ulbert also opened his mouth about the item in his hand with a stern expression.
“
Shimobe's complexion grew paler and paler due to the power of the item that Ulbert talked about.
The fact that the item in front of you had more power than you could have imagined, and that powerful power was directed at Peroroncino.
Some were about to collapse, some were going insane that the Supreme Lord was in danger of mind control and destruction.
However, Nigun's face, who was waiting in the corner of the room, was paler than anyone else, and he was about to collapse at any moment.
"... but no way, in this world
Momonga and Peroroncino nodded in agreement with Ulberto, who frowned bitterly and spit it out.
From the information from Nigun and the Sunlight Scripture, even though it was known that the player had been in this world at least in the past,
While all three of them had frustrated expressions on their faces, Ulbert suddenly noticed Nigun's condition.
"...What's wrong, Nigun?"
Hearing Ulbert's voice, everyone in this place turned their gaze to Nigun.
Nigun's body trembled greatly as the gazes of the Transcendental Beings and Absolute Beings were directed at him all at once.
"...probably, but... there is a possibility that the encounter between Master Peroroncino and Master Shalltear was in the Black Scriptures of the Hokoku."
“The Jet Black Scripture…is it one of the Six Color Scriptures like the Sunlight Scripture?”
“You're right.
"...law..."
Ulbert narrowed his eyes at Nigun's words. Momonga also flickered the light in her eye sockets suspiciously, and Shimobe and everyone were overflowing with great anger and murderous intent .
"...But if they really are the Black Scriptures, why are they in such a place? From what I've heard from Shalltear, it's just a coincidence that we met."
"I don't understand that either. However, the main mission of the Black Scriptures is to eliminate demi-humans and heteromorphic species that could pose a threat to humanity. I think it's a mission, but..."
Momonga and the others looked at each other involuntarily at Nigun, who was muddying his words with a look of lack of confidence.
If you think about it normally, the encounter was in the forest, so it might be that he was on a mission to exterminate demi-humans.
But Momonga and the others didn't care.
Two things are mainly important.
The first point is that they are "hunting heteromorphs" with human supremacy.
The second point is
“Hmm, I feel that the Slane Law is dangerous, isn't it?”
"No, that would be too dangerous. The basis of battle is the amount of information about the opponent and the information manipulation on this side. There is still too little information to attack."
“Irritability is a loss, Peroroncino. …However, it's true that we can't just maintain the status quo.
Hearing Ulberto's words, Momonga and Peroroncino put their hands on their chins and thought.
Shimobe and the others, while watching their masters, ponder whether they themselves have any good ideas. However, even if they come up with something, they never take the initiative to make suggestions. no need for them to think like Shimobe. In the first place, we should not interrupt the thoughts of our masters with our own remarks.
While Shimobe and the others were watching, Momonga slowly lifted her finger from her chin and raised her face.
"... for the time being, besides this
"That's right. … After that, let's make the members who can't use teleportation magic possess teleportation items."
“After that, we will need to prepare an evacuation site in case Nazarick is attacked.
"Understood! Regarding the detailed location and gimmick, please let me discuss it again later."
As expected of the members who formed the "no-charge alliance", the future will be decided one after another, centering on the guild leader, Momonga.
Since the place where Shalltear encountered the group thought to be the Black Scripture was inside the kingdom, a security net was laid around Momonga. Peroroncino will be in charge of deciding and building evacuation sites, and Ulberto will be in charge of creating teleportation items.
At that time, Peroroncino asked Ulberto to make a bow for Enri, so there was a bit of a quarrel, but in the end everything was decided safely and the meeting ended.
While Shimobe and the others were leaving the room one by one with deep bows, Demiurge suddenly stopped Nigun, who was about to leave the room.
"...Speaking of which, you were originally from the Slane Kingdom. Your former colleague, the Black Scriptures, was destroyed by Peroroncino-sama, and the Slane Kingdom, which should be called your hometown, will eventually come under the hands of the supreme people. will be destroyed by the
“……………………”
Nigun involuntarily fell silent at Demiurge's question, and Momonga and the others, who were still in the room, turned their gazes to the two of them.
Demiurge looked straight at Nigun with an unchanging smile on his face, but his normally closed eyelids were slightly open, and a suspiciously shining jewel peeped out from within.
It's as if he's watching Nigun's reaction and confirming it...
No, he was probably trying to ascertain Nigun's true intentions by listening to the actual reaction.
For Demiurge, Nigun was still an existence that could not be trusted in the true sense of the word.
It's not just the jealousy of being liked by Ulbert, the supreme master and creator of himself.
As I said earlier, the group that was originally Nigun's companion was wiped out by Peroroncino's hands, and the country that Nigun belonged to will also follow the path of destruction in the near future.
What does Nigun think about it, and how does he plan to act?
It would have been fine if he had pledged his loyalty to Ulberto and Momonga without change, but if that loyalty showed even the slightest shadow, he would mercilessly kill them.
Not only the Demiurge, but everyone in this place was paying attention, but Nigun looked straight back at the Demiurge without showing any signs of being upset.
"Naturally, I don't mind. I am a loyal servant of the Supreme Beings who have pledged allegiance to Lord Ulbert Alain Odor. It would be unfair for me to say something like this. We are taking serious measures, but it is a grave sin that cannot be forgiven for bowing to Peroroncino, who is the supreme being from the beginning.I will obey the words of the supreme beings and Ulberto, and pledge unchanging loyalty. only"
Momonga, Urberto, and Peroroncino widened their eyes in surprise at Nigun, who made a clear statement.
However, the other Simobes smiled and nodded as if it was natural, and Demiurge also deepened his smile with satisfaction.
"I see. It's exactly what you said, I'm convinced."
He agrees with Nigun with a softer voice than when he asked the question, and taps Nigun's shoulder like a good friend.
However, in the next moment, Demiurge powerfully grabbed the shoulder that had just been tapped.
While Nigun unintentionally widened his eyes in shock, Demiurge put strength into his hand that grabbed his shoulder and made him smile even more.
“Your loyalty to the Supreme Beings is truly wonderful.
"De, I think it's as Demiurge-sama said, but... um..."
“Therefore, tonight as well, I will personally guide you in various ways so that I can become a servant worthy of the Supreme Beings.”
Nigun's face turned pale at the words spoken with a soft voice.
Four days from the day it was decided that Nigun would accompany the team with Ulbert until he left for the empire. Recalling the unimaginably harsh days he spent with Demiurge and Albedo, Nigun broke into a cold sweat and shook his body.
He immediately asked for help and looked at Ulbert, but this time, just like that time, what Ulbert said was not a complete word of help.
"Ah... um... I'll be back in the empire at 7 in the morning, so don't be too reckless."
"Of course I know! Then please excuse me, Ulberto-sama, Momonga-sama, and Peroroncino-sama."
Demiurge had a bright smile on his face, and left the round table as if dragging Nigun, who had a tragic expression on his face.
The same indescribable subtle atmosphere as that time drifts in the room.
After confirming that all the other Shimobes had left the room, Momonga, Ulberto, and Peroroncino looked at each other and let out a big sigh almost at the same time.
"...Haa, it turned out to be a really intense debriefing session from the first time."
"Certainly... At first, I thought it wouldn't be necessary to do it that often, like once every three days, but it turned out to be the correct answer."
"Well. Early on
"Please. But please don't overdo it."
"I understand, Momonga-san."
Ulbert smiled, then stood up from his chair and straightened his back.
Following that, Momonga and Peroroncino also stood up from their chairs.
“…Then, I guess I'll go back to my room.
“I really want to sleep, so I guess I'll go to sleep… Oh, Enri-chan's bow, too, Ulbert-san.”
“Don't be silly!
“Eh~, unlike Ulbert-san and Momonga-san, I need sleep too~!”
“Do you know?
"Oh, then I'll help you too. Let's discuss evacuation sites in a little more detail while making items."
"is that so"
"Then let's all go to my room."
The three are on top of the round table for the time being
Even for a short time walking through the corridor,
Momonga and the others entered Ulberto's room, and began creating items while relaxing on their chairs.
However, since we are creating while discussing and consulting many things, the work does not progress.
As expected, by the time everything was finished, it would be just before leaving Nazarick, just as Ulbert had said.
This time, I wrote that the captain's weapon of the Black Scripture is the world-class item "Saint-Slaying Spear".
Thank you for your understanding.
In addition, if it turns out that the original is not a "saint-killing spear" ", I will rewrite it immediately.
