Chapter 151
Side: Yuki
And so, this is how Luna explained it
Just as Luna used the whiteboard to teach me about the new continent, Im using it to explain to the other about the new continent as well the plan of attack to the members who will be going with me.
Well, even if I say an explanation, its only, lets solve the magical problem depletion problem!! Something like that.
Magical problem depletion eh? I see, so thats why we were called
Right. All the members who are going are women
Thats so, isnt it? Its okay for us to move separately, and we have a reasonable strength as to act as support
Right now, with the exception of my wives and the representatives, all the members are here.
Moreover, men.
Yes, we werent able to do anything about the hero and demon king problem. My arm is itching
Well. Theres no way that adventurers can meddle with the countrys problems. Even if we had gone out, there would have been a lot of problems later
Indeed. But a new continent, eh? It seems that it will become the greatest adventure ever
The middle-aged and nostalgic Mauve, Laiya and Kurth group.
Although their levels may be low among our members, Im sure their experience as adventurers is overwhelming.
Im counting on them.
Rather, its because otherwise there would be no men!!
Ah, thats right, I have a question, its okay, Yuki-san?
Nn, whats the matter? Tori?
Although unusual it wasnt Riel question but the dog ear, no, the one with wolf ears Tori.
It seems that Tori was once an adventurer, and although I cannot say it in front of Riel, Im counting on you.
After all, Riel has the habit of running wildly, it was even the same in the battle of Litea and even when I was adventuring with her, I felt the same. I went through a difficult time at that time.
Ups, I should pay attention to Toris question.
Um, if the continent that Luna-san described exists to the west, then it would not be better to expand Yukis dungeon and start by investigating the coast of the new continent?
Oh, a sharp question.
It would be best if I could do that.
However, due to several problems, I cant do that.
I wish I could do that. But to tell you the truth, its really impossible
Why is that?
Weed is located in the center of the continent. In short, expanding the dungeon to the west means that I would need to build dungeons under other countries as I please
Ah!
Thats right, its bad.
If I make a mistake and Im discovered, Weeds position will be jeopardized.
But could it not be possible to build them and after a while erase them? They would be too deep underground, so I think they wouldnt be able to find them
I thought about that too. If I expand the dungeon to the west, then there is the possibility that other dungeons that are in that direction could notice us. If I take a wrong step it can become a fight between dungeon masters
I-I understand That would be bad
Thats the main reason why I dont want to build dungeons to the west.
I dont want to provoke other dungeon masters. As I said, if I started fighting with other dungeon masters, then the investigation in the new continent will be delayed, and as a result, it could affect our continent.
And I dont for such thing to happen after I dealt with the demon kings problem.
Moreover, I dont know the range of the magical depletion problem. If the ocean also enters in its range, Weeds DP may be taken since we are connected. And what kind of effect will this full of magical power continent on the new continent have? That I dont know. The most likely outcome may be a massive increase in monsters in a short time. For example, a flock of dragons could be born
Uwaa, if that happens, wouldnt the new continent end up destroyed?
Mentioning a flock of dragons makes Riels face turns pale.
Though I believe that the current Riel should be able to hunt dragons.
Well, thats why a gate has been connected to an existing dungeon on the new continent. If its only by a gate, then it wont be able to take Weeds magical power. Though the dungeon will take our magic power to maintain it
Ah, that reminds, you said that it would take 20 times our magic power?
Thats right
If thats the case, then we wont be able to expand luxuriously the dungeon? Though it would be better to not expand the dungeon because of the magic problem depletion?
Mauve said so and then responds to himself.
What he said its about right.
But, as Luna said, she stopped the magic power supply from the dungeon to the new continent.
Thats because she doesnt know what could happen to the ecosystem, and it could interfere with the possibility of finding the true cause.
And thats why we are going use the dungeons on the new continent, Tori
I see. Im convinced. This is the safest action we can take for now
Though its the most dangerous action for those of us who are going there
Eh? You wont use Doppel?
I dont, though I plan to when the time is right since if for some reason it isnt possible to use Doppel, we would have to go ourselves anyway
You cant use someone else to accomplish your goal, and its not like there is someone else stronger than us.
Either way, we need to go.
I pray that its possible to use Doppel!!
For the time being, I understand the reason why we need to directly go towards the dungeon. So, I wonder what would be our policy on the other side?
Seraria, who was silently listening, finally started talking.
You are right asking about that. Well be investigating the dungeons surroundings for a while. Well take Zargis with us and let him investigate and experiment with the magic power there
Experiment?
Perhaps the way to use magic power on the new continent is different? There is the possibility that our magical power decreases and as a consequence, our strength will too
Ah, that reminds me, there was a strange theory that the level goes up as you gather magic power inside your body
Although I dont know if thats true, its worth investigating. We should check our power first and start the investigation on the new continent at once
After I finish saying that, I look to everyone.
Any question?
I rather push for founding a country than investigating
Just when I was going to end the conversation, Seraria says an outrageous thing.
A number of powerful warlords will be surrounding us. Just moving from one country to another to investigate will be a pain in the ass. It will take too much time. Thats why if we establish a country, we will be able to easily investigate the controlled place. Also, dont you think it will be easier to investigate if we are in negotiations with other countries?
What Seraria is saying is entirely true, but only about the investigation side.
What she really wants to say is
Seraria. Even if we were to establish that country, to what extent would you take responsibility?
Yes, in my case, I think its best to leave that continent as soon as the investigation is over.
If we were to build a country, then we would have to protect the people.
We were not yet able to achieve peace on our continent, so it would be impossible to reach that far away place from here.
We just need to manage it properly, isnt that right? We only need to encourage democracy like Weed
Just listen to me for one second, the reason Weed can exercise democracy is due to the strong defenses of the dungeon. Even with democracy, it still takes a tremendous amount of time to just move the army. Do you understand? A monarchy only needs the word from the king. They can move the army just with emotion. However, democracy will only move its army as a result of discussion of many representatives. Being slow would be fatal among powerful warlords
Oh my, but what I said should be okay after we restore peace. Until then, it should be fine to stand up properly as a king and command them, isnt that right?
Are you a demon?
To be decorated as king would be too disgraceful.
For the time being, I suggest taking control of an easy to deal country after some research. As for the clerical work-related, the pregnant ones from the stay-behind group should do it
I agree. Ive already told my subordinates that well leave. Its really hard to relax all day long inside the house
And thats how Lutz and all the other pregnant women nodded to Serarias proposal.
Now even if I deny it, Im sure they would create a country without permission
Somehow, the pressure from my wives has been getting stronger.
Should I follow their wishes?
In the first place, this is the world where we live. Since you have come from another world, we have received your help countless times, and thats not okay. Think of this as a step for us to save our world
Seraria says so, and everyone looks towards us.
Dont you realize that Im counting in everything with you all?
Oh, so it would be better to not think about anything? Rather, I wonder if you like women who follow everything you say?
Seraria says laughing.
Haa, I married some fierce women.
Listen to me, king of the unknown country that I will take over as well retainers and soldiers from there!
There is a possibility that Im going to be a little unreasonable, were you all able to hear me?
