Since it was past business hours when Haruki discovered the Dungeon, he contacted the government faculties on the next day.
“Since your garage has become a Dungeon please fill out the registration form.”
If you would’ve listened to those lines five years ago, you would’ve thought that you called the wrong number.
— While thinking this Haruki was listening to the speaker at his ear
Understood. We will visit your home with a self-defence group right away.
Listening to the voice it seemed that he was talking with a man in his mid-thirties.
What would you think if you would’ve seen my appearance when I entered the office. The struggling owner of a shadow voice that is…
I think it is really troublesome.
“Hello.”
“Where’s the Dungeon? It’s the place the owner told us.”
“Well…”
“Take it slow, I’ll call him.”
“Excuse me!”
“Oh!”
At last, the government officials recognized Haruki’s existence because of the loud noises.
While it is usual, it still hurt Haruki a little.
Even though I went wearing a flashy red shirt, not even a glimpse landed on me.
On the other hand, after recognizing him, they seemed like thinking “This guy has a terrible sense of style.” when looking at him.
In fact, it was supposed to be so.
The surrounding gazes were cold.
“I’m very sorry, could you be Karaboshi-san?”
“I am.” (Haruki)
“Excuse me, Karaboshi-san, but do you have a licence?”
The licence of being a qualified adventurer.
Haruki slightly drew back his jaw.
“Yes, I got it this term.” (Haruki)
“Hmhm. Did you already delve into the dungeon?”
“No. I thought it would be better to let you guys handle it first.” (Haruki)
“That’s a good decision. Is it fine if we immediately set up the barricade?”
After Haruki nodded, four teams of the self-defence force took out sandbags and barbed wire from the car and began working.
They normally don’t block the entrance of the Dungeon, because if it’s blocked another entrance will appear somewhere else.
And block it somewhere else again. Block it at another place… and repeat it.
In addition, the possibility of a stampede increases each time.
A stampede is a state where monsters overflow from a Dungeon. Because of this, some countries have nearly been overrun by monsters. It indeed is a dangerous Phenomenon.
Even if an overflow occurs, just build a barricade with sandbags and barbed wire that isn’t overrun easily and confine it on the occasion of an emergency.
Simply putting up barricades to address the monsters is just as time earning.
Which is the job of the Self-Defence-Force.
The SDF consists of those belonging to the Fire and Police departments.
Alias the people in charge of dungeon countermeasures.
They carry the duty of thinning out monsters overflowing from dungeons.
Of course, the SDF is doing so. But for marching over all 200 Dungeons all over Japan, the SDF is just a little bit insufficient.
As a result, the police and firefighters help to defend by building a self-defence team.
The four men set up sandbags one by one as if they did not feel the weight.
It probably is because of the training against Monsters.
Their speed is incredible.
They placed sandbags around the garage and stretched barbed wire on top of it.
At the entrance of the dungeon, a door with security cameras, an IC card reader and retinal scanners, were built.
By a revision of the law after the first stampede, the owner of the land nearby a dungeon becomes the country.
In other words, entering it without meeting the requirements is trespassing.
If it wouldn’t be so, some people with playful intentions would meet the worst end, which was a repeated occurrence.
– It happened pretty often.
That’s why the country did a good job by announcing “This is our property so don’t enter it!”.
It is the last resort against those guys.
After securing the dungeon entrance (rather like making it more narrow) the work was finished.
“We’re done.”
That was fast. Only about one hour passed since they began building it.
I’m surprised at how fast they can be.
How strong is this whole unit together anyways?
“By the way, was anything lost to the dungeon?”
When Dungeons appear it is common that the swallow everything above them.
Like with Haruki’s garage, when the stairs of the Dungeon appears things, even careless humans or pets, get erased.
There haven’t been any cases yet because dungeons tend to rather appear in isolated places.
Actually, there are even some cases where premises of subway stations were isolated to increase the possibility.
“Actually… my snowplow.” (Haruki)
“That’s… unfortunate.”
“Yeah…” (Haruki)
He seemed to understand the pain of losing the snowplow very well.
At once the mood was damped.
“Will you be able to go in after this?”
“That’s the plan.” (Haruki)
“Is that so. Please take care of yourself. It is said ‘Adventurers come across many ways to die’, but surviving is important.”
“Yes, Thank you. And also the Self-Defence-Team, thank you too.” (Haruki)
Thank you for always protecting this city.
I guess these thoughts were delivered.
Even after finishing their work the four men, not feeling any fatigue, aligned with fast movements and began to salute.
However, their line of sight was not fixed on a certain point.
Yeah, they haven’t seen me yet.
It is enough already!
The next day, Haruki went out of the house with carefully equipping his weapon.
His weapon is a combat knife of about 30 centimeters purchased for 20,000 yen. It is an entry model made by Mitsubishi. On the blade, a logo of 『一』 is crafted together with its series name.
His protective gear is a (white) helmet for construction use and slightly compacted with leather.
His elbow and knee supported with safety gear. The total sum is 10,000 yen.
None are dungeon exclusive armor.
His weapon is a considerable difference.
Of course, there are reasons why the price of his protective gear is cheap.
It's not because he's stingy.
He doesn't have enough money to buy good equipment.
Truly, he at least wants to purchase specialized equipment
But he has no choice but to proceed.
As a matter of fact, every beginner is similar in nature.
It is not only Haruki that wear the lowest quality equipment.
Except for a few rich people, beginner adventurers are generally poor.
It is natural not to be able to buy protective gear for the dungeon.
It is a weapon that is problematic for Haruki's equipment.
There are only a few adventurers equipped with a dagger or knife.
The reason is simple. It is because it can't kill monsters.
Diving in the dungeon and fighting monsters is like killing a bear physically.
Does anyone have a knife to fight bears?
......No, there is not.
Killing a bear with a knife is only for someone like Seagal[1].
But not everyone is like Seagal.
So, they are preferred to attack from a safer distance with a powerful weapon.
"Let's Become" has done an investigation for weapon type used by adventurers.
Bow = Large Sword > Long Sword >> Sword >>>>> etc.
With, bow and large sword occupied more than half of chart.
By the way, knife, dagger, blunt weapon, and the like are not included.
Of course, some adventurers fight with knives.
But they are for senior adventurers who fight with lower rank monsters for fun or training.
The demerit of a dagger is larger to that extent.
So why did Haruki choose such unpopular knife?
Of course, it is because it stands out.
Even for someone who has Air like existence, showing such style will surely stand out.
Thinking like that he chooses a knife, but...... until now there is no effect.
Surely someday, Haruki believes that this hardship will be rewarded.
Whether it is praise or ridicule and curse,
"That fellow, he is fighting with a knife!" it is a victory if they say that.
Hold the IC card over the ticket gate, retinal authentication is performed.
Data associated with the IC is read, only after the retina is matched the ticket gate open.
If someone forcibly passes through this, a report will instantly be sent to the police.
Standing on the first step of the dungeon staircase, Haruki puts his hand in front of his chest.
Then, a tablet like stone slate comes out of his chest.
"As expected"
After he came back home yesterday, he tried to take out the stone slate several times in his room but it didn't work.
Perhaps it won't even possible to take it out.
It can only be used in the dungeon, a restricted type magic tool.
It is also the first time for Haruki to see a magic tool.
Besides, magic tools are not something that novice adventurers can easily grab.
Magic tools are items rarely come from the treasure box that appears in the dungeon.
There are various kinds.
Everything looks different, but what is in common is "it demonstrates effects beyond human knowledge".
Magic bags are probably the most famous magic tool.
It is beyond human knowledge, although it sizes only enough for a watermelon, it is possible to store more items. It is such a bag.
As it is famous, an eyeball protrudes price will be attached when it set on auction.
It can be acquired for a maximum of around 3 billion became a hot topic recently.
It was purchased by a large company, a weapon dealer under Kawakami Industry.
The successful bidder who answered the interview,
"I'm thinking of decorating this in the store to entertain customers' eyes."
That is his answer.
Is it the first melon. (TL: I'm not sure what does it mean.)
Next is the famous magical sword.
The effect is unknown. The existence of the magic sword has been confirmed, but information about the effect doesn't spread.
Perhaps the acquirer is limiting the information.
They are scared of theft, or it is too dangerous so it can't be told.
Some mysterious weird magic tools also came out.
Is it too early for mankind that nobody knows how to use it, mostly it is sold at discard price.
Even collectors do not put out their hands afraid of curses.
Anyway, the skill board Haruki got on is sure to be that kind of magic tools.
Haruki sat on the stair and look at the stone slate.
