10-10. I found a ridiculous thing in the basement of Demon Castle ①



I'll give you credit for making it this far, hero of another world. I'm the demon king, Adabaa!

 The demon king tried to call out to the others.
 But it seemed that the Sacagawea King attacked him in a big way.
 The Demon King is dead.

What did you say? I didn't quite catch it. Say that again.
You can't talk with a head missing, Mr. Sacagawea.

 Mr. Sacagawea is a very strong man, but he doesn't listen to people very much.

"That's okay. I could tell at first glance that it was a small thing.
Well, I hardly did anything.

 When I was summoned to another world, I was given a special power.
 A very useful and strong power to manipulate electricity. According to Mr. Sakahagi, it is a type of cheat ability.
 I'm not very good with katakana and horizontal characters, so when I first heard about it, I didn't understand what it meant at all.
 To tell the truth, I still don't know what it means.
 Anyway, I fought as hard as I could with that cheat ability, but Sakahagi-san would take care of most of them.

"No, no, just cleaning up the small fry was a big help. Thanks.
Heh-heh-heh.

 Mr. Sacagawea stroked me gently.
 I really like this and it makes me feel like I have to work hard again.
 I still haven't properly controlled the power of electricity, so I need to work harder.

''Well, I've gone through this normally, but are you okay with killing monsters?
Yeah, I've been hunting a lot of games and stuff, I'm fine.

 When I answer that, Sakahagi-san nods divinely.
 He says he's ready to kill (laughs).
 He didn't tell me why (laughter).

'Can humans be killed?'

 Mr. Sacagawea picks up where it hurts.

'Yeah but I do my best when there are bad people around.

 The people who summoned me were very bad people and I had to fight them.
 I tried as hard as I could not to kill them, but I killed some of them then because I was worse at controlling electricity than I am now.
 I was so shocked that I cried and everyone comforted me.

I didn't mean to get my hands dirty.

 Mr. Sakahagi says as he shuts down.
 I thought he was talking like this because he was worried about me not killing people.
 At first glance, Sakahagi-san is a cold person, and he doesn't mind saying things like he's going to destroy the world, but in fact, he's a kind person.
 I can't kill people yet, but I'll learn to do it for Sakahagi-san's sake.

''Hmm? I'm not getting the next summoning team. Did I leave anything unfinished?
What, did you forget? You're taking the treasure map home with you.

 The request of the treasure hunter who summoned Sakahagi-san was a map of the treasure that the Demon King possessed.

''Ah, that's right. I was in the mood to end up defeating the Demon King out of my usual habit.''

 If you don't follow up like this, even the most important pledge is hazy, Sacagawea.
 What did he do before I became his wife?
 Was she being helped by other wives?
 I'm sure it must be so.

 Come to think of it, I haven't been allowed to meet any other wives yet.
 
 I'm secretly looking forward to seeing what kind of person you have in mind.

''Well, we've defeated all the monsters. Let's just take it easy and look for them.

 That's how I searched for the Demon King's room, but I couldn't find a map.
 All that remained was the basement.

 The basement was warded.

''Hmmm........this thing isn't magic. It's a cheat ability.
What's the difference between magic and a cheat ability?
'Uh ... yeah.'

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm going to say that I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results. The inner power is magic, the outer power is cheat. Well, there are exceptions.

 He chewed it out in his own way, Sacagawea, but I didn't understand it.

'Was it hard to understand? Bad.

 Mr. Sacagawea strokes me again, but I have mixed feelings.
 I feel like I'm being treated like a child when I'm being stroked even though I didn't receive any praise.

''The bottom line is that there's not a monster from another world down the road but a guy summoned from outside like me.
Oh, so you're with us.
Not necessarily. But if you're a bad ass with a cheat, you're worse than a demon king.

 When I seriously test my guard, Sakahagi-san activates her appraisal eye.
 It seems to be able to examine everything, which is amazing.

It's a good thing that the wards themselves are monster avoidance and humans can pass through them. There's no need to break it.

 After making sure it was safe, we crossed the warding and went underground.

...Hey, you're awake.
What?

 What?
 Mr. Sacagawea suddenly let out a cool whisper in my ear.
 I'm very nervous.

"It's time to turn on the light,
Uh, yeah... what?

 I couldn't turn on the electricity.
 What's wrong with me?

'It's not just cheats, it's magic too. It's not like warding it's not disarming, it's a deterrent area?

 Mr. Sacagawea is mumbling and trying out different things.
 I don't know what he's doing, but I thought he must be doing something important.


...Mr. Sacagawea?

 At the sound of my voice, Sacagawea looked up and gave me a smile.

'Hey, it's okay. Cheat Electric will be back to normal when we get out of here.

 I'm sure you can think of something about me not being able to provide electricity.
 But that wasn't what I was worried about.
 I was just worried that Mr. Sakahagi would do the same thing as he had done with the monastery.

'Leave it to him.'

 But since Mr. Sakahagi said so confidently, I have to believe him.
 Even without the rule 3.

"Whatever it is, it can't and won't stop me from walking.

 It was a powerful declaration.
 Where does Mr. Sakahagi's confidence come from?
 I thought he was a very reliable person at that time, but then something terrible happened.

 But then something extraordinary happened.
 I didn't think that someone would stop him.
 I never imagined it, and neither did Mr. Sakahagi.



 The basement of the Demon King's Castle is very large, and it took me a long time to explore it.
 It's not easy to find a map.

 I'm slowing down and hiding behind Mr. Sakahagi's back so that I won't get in his way as much as possible.
 Mr. Sakahagi is unusually silent. I can feel the tension in his voice.

 How long have we been walking?
 I found a building out of the corner of my vision.
 As I said before, the basement of the Demon King's Castle is very large, but that building is completely encased in one of the rooms. 

 Looking at the building, I felt a sense of nostalgia.
 It looks a lot like something I used to use before I came to the other world.
 It was the first time I saw it after I started traveling in another world with Sakahagi-san.

'....A convenience store?'

 A rectangular structure, glass windows, and an electric sign.
 It seemed to be a convenience store.

"Mr. Sakahagi, is that a convenience store by any chance?

 Standing next to him, he tugged on Mr. Sakahagi's sleeve.
 Sacaghagi-san muttered dumbly.

''It's ... the Fairy Mart.''
What?
I'm sure of it. That's Fairma!
Oh, Mr. Sacagawea!

 Suddenly, Mr. Sacagawea started running towards the convenience store.
 He didn't turn on the light like usual, but there was no time to stop him.
 He stops near the convenience store and looks up at the lighted sign again.

'Oh no. You're lying. Why are you in another world ... oh, why?

 I've never seen a tanager cringing like this before.
 I catch up with him and look up at the sign.
 I catch up with him and look up at the sign, which says, "FaeryMart?

FaeryMart?

 It was a convenience store name I'd never heard of before.
 In my world, though, there was a FuryMart called FuryMart.
 I wonder if it is an affiliated store.
 It's bright inside, and as far as I can see, it looks like it's open for business.

 Sakahagi, on the other hand, was standing there in a daze.
 Yes, this is the scene to be clever as a wife.

'Do you want to come in?'
'Oh, yeah...'

 In order to make it easier for Sakahagi-san to enter, I try to enter the store casually.
 The familiar automatic door opens, but I've lived in a different world for a while now, so it's a nostalgic feeling.

Welcome!

 A pleasant-looking middle-aged clerk greeted me with a smile.
 The characteristic entrance melody played, "Terre terre terrain".
 It was a bit different from the Fury Mart, but it was very similar.

 I turned around and saw that Mr. Sakahagi had also entered the store safely.
 Then I looked around the store and said a few words.

'Ah, here we are.'

 Mr. Sacagawea looked up at the fluorescent lights on the ceiling as if he were looking up to the heavens and spread his hands wide.

'I'm finally back,'

 Then I witnessed an unbelievable sight!
 That Mr. Sacagawea was crying!
 Mr. Sacagawea, who hadn't shown any tears at all when he was beaten and badly injured, was shedding huge tears!

Are you okay? I don't feel well....

 The shopkeeper's uncle calls out to Mr. Sacagawea, worried about him.

 Oh, don't!
 If a man touched her in such an unintentional manner, Sakahagi-san would be furious.
 In this other world as well, the hoodlums who got involved with Mr. Sakahagi have been cruelly disfigured as a result of his involvement in gathering information.
 I can't help but cover my eyes as I imagine the end of the shopkeeper.

I'm sorry........shake my hand.......please shake my hand.

 Mr. Sacred Hatchet!
 Mr. Sacagawea!

 What a surprise!
 I can't believe it.
 Am I dreaming?

Well the customer must have been going through a lot of hard times.

 The clerk's uncle smiles as if he's guessing what's going on, and they shake hands firmly in response to Mr. Sakahagi.

'Welcome to the otherworldly branch of Fairy Mart,'

 The shopkeeper's uncle announced smilingly.

 Hmmm, I thought the other world was a fantasy.
 I didn't know there were even convenience stores.
 Other worlds are amazing!
