5-Past investigator



As much as I can, I'll take the job. By the way, may I ask you about your past investigators? 

'You've done well! I won't ask you to risk your life, and I'll send you some relief supplies too. 
...hmmm.... 

 The first was a student who wanted to transfer to another world, and his request for support was a magic cheat and his famous sword and armor, etc. But the tricky part was that he wanted skills and infinite storage boxes. This was a conundrum, even for a god. 

''It's a common pattern these days. 
Well, it's probably due to the influence of video games and anime, but it's difficult. But it's not easy. 

 Swords and armor are possible. But you can't have infinite item storage or status displays. 

 You're a god, like a god waiting for the shutter of a ventilation fan to open and close, divining the shaking of the world? Do you want a container that encompasses a different space? There's no way you can make it. 

 Abilities are always changing, and even if you parameterize them, there are too many items and data to make it practical. Even skills can't be given easily. 

 Even if they look the same, the path to that height is different for each person. Experiences, thoughts and ideas are different. And the targets are different, and the weapons and physiques are different. If you force your brain to optimize such technology, the worst thing that can happen is that your personality will collapse. 

 Therefore, I called in various experts to teach him as much as possible. I heard that he threw them out in the middle. 

 Well, I guess they thought it wasn't like this but it's not a game, it's not as simple as a level. You have to learn it yourself. 

 The next one is the magic cheat, magic and magicks are available locally. But the creatures of the physical world don't have organs to control magic. 

 So, based on the information from the neighboring town, we used a virus to genetically manipulate the cells. Furthermore, it transplanted an organ that changed the magic power of the magic element. Finally, the artificial magic triggering organ was also implanted by brain surgery. 

 It's going to take a lot of work........ I think God did a good job. 

''I'm sure he's not happy with it, but I can sense that he was sincere in trying to meet the request as much as possible. 
No problem. He liked it, but it was a crazy request with no information about the area. 
...hmmm.... 

I have some idea, but what happened in the end? 

 Maybe the brain modification caused his personality to go haywire. 

 After all, the power is unparalleled, but he only learned elementary magic, and his other skills (skills) are halfway there. I heard that he did Kendo, but that was not suited to swords and swords. Even so, he seems to have been proud of his high-spec basic ability. 


 ◇ ◇ ◇ 

 One day, he meets a benevolent man (Tokushika) who runs an orphanage at his own expense. However, he believes the head of the orphanage to be a corrupt slave trader who cheats children because he looks like a bad guy. 

 He unilaterally fights to free the children. However, the Abbot's true identity is that of a former warrior who made his name in Ares. In the end, his skillful swordsmanship leaves him helplessly defeated and he escapes. 

 Moreover, he takes away some of the children with the intention of helping them as they escape. In the end, he is stabbed to death in his sleep by the children who took him away, thinking they were kidnappers. 

 ◇ ◇ ◇ 


 By the way, the children are the forgotten mementos of their comrades who fought and died with him. In order to bring up the children, he turned all of his success in the war into money and gave it to the orphanage. It seems that this is why he was famous for his high moral character. 

I'm afraid it's a mistake in selection. There's no such thing as a challenge without knowing what you're up against. Besides, if you're famous, wouldn't you have known it was a misunderstanding before you acted? 

I used to be a thoughtful and righteous young man, but I think it was the brain surgery. I'm responsible for the brain surgery, especially in the prefrontal cortex. Kanayako helped me with the equipment and the surgery, thank you for everything. 

...hmmm.... 

 Prefrontal cortex! It's an important part of the brain that's deeply connected to emotion and reason... 
 Are you insane enough to surgically implant a magical organ in a place like that? 

 No matter how much he wants to, adults, or even God, have to stop that. Most of the time the cause of psychopathy and schizophrenia is also caused by that part of the body. Then it's no wonder they get bored, can't tolerate it, and lose their ability to make good decisions. 

 I definitely don't do that. 

I'm going to be lonely if there's nothing else to do but......... 

'Well, well, a blacksmith god is a craftsman. If it's your area of expertise, I'm sure it's different. So what happened to the second one? Is he alive? 

Oh, him. He ran away to create a harem of slaves. f*ck the rear-enders! 
 

 Lord Kanyako-sama said everything but "C"! And Harlem Boy should die. Well, I agree with you. 

 The second investigator is a trading company man. His name is Hino Toshiaki. Because of his job, he has traveled to many countries, and he is very good at negotiating and gathering information in many different languages. 

 Considering the nature of his duties, I think he's the best choice for the job. 

 The hope is to bring back to Earth some slaves bought locally. That and a guaranteed job and income. Plus a deserted island with a house and a cruiser, etc. are the required rewards. 

"I'm modest in my desire to hire employees... 
It's a different set of initial requirements for a guy with a job, money, skills, and good looks, so what's the point? 
...hmmm.... 

 Right? 
 That's how it works... 

I'm glad you pulled it off but why would someone like that be a slave? 

I've heard that he's only hit on women with good looks, but not much in the way of character. He said, "I don't trust women, I'd rather have slaves. When the investigation was over, he planned to settle down inside the country and enjoy a cruise with his slaves on vacation. 

'Oh, you're tired of a kind of distrust of people. When I earn a little money, I'll be surrounded by slaves and will retire comfortably on a deserted island. It's a dream come true. 

That's not a very good response. He was born wealthy, good-looking, talented, and had no trouble finding a job with his parents' company. He's a marine adventure enthusiast and has volunteered to work overseas. What do you think of him? He doesn't lack for women on the inside. 

'Honestly, rear explosion! I thought. 
Despite our differences in birth and race, from this moment on, we are all brothers. I look forward to working with you. 
...hmmm.... 

[Title: "Goddess's Comrade"] 

 I guess it's the nature of geeks to somehow come up with their own titles... 

 I digress, but back to the second trading company man. 

 Genetically engineered to suit his wishes to deal with magick and magic power, no brain surgery. It is said that the ability to strengthen the body can be used only with magic and training. 

 The equipment is a short spear, which is easy to handle since he is a full-fledged master of the art of wandering. Next, the bulletproof blade armor and the local currency dedicated by his predecessor. The next step is to get permission to manufacture black powder, guns, cannons, sailing ships, etc. 

 The otherworldly treaty prohibits the propagation of technology that is not local. So, it seems that they received permission on the condition of secrecy. Only he and his followers who swore an oath to the Japanese gods can use them. 

 Apparently, it is not a violation of the treaty to use the technology as long as it is not passed on to the local people. 

'You're a hobbyist! Do you plan to make money on the sea trade and avoid the inland areas as much as possible? 

Not that the seas were safe, but they built a sloop, a fast, armed merchant ship with a rifling calvarine gun, based on a sailing vessel, and they avoided the dangerous waters of the big demons, and they were able to collect money and information from trading men only. 

 If it's just the range of the shells, they'll go further. There's also fusible shrapnel. There are no shell casings, but the cannon is rear-loaded. The sloping rails are designed to prevent the recoil from being displaced. 

 Kanayako-sama is unusually long. 

 In the world where I plan to work, the magic technicians in the 1km range class are either high-ranking military officers or court employees. The pirates are ballista or pitchforks at best, and the main thing is that they are white knuckle fighters with a berth. 

 The sloop is built like a big yacht. It has a longitudinal sail, so it is resistant to headwinds. Furthermore, it seems that there were slaves who could use the spirit of the wind, so there was no need to worry about no wind. 

 It was mechanized with pulleys and gears to reduce the number of people needed. Except for a perfect headwind or no wind, the ship has no burden on the surgeons. 

 That's bound to be profitable. But a world with surgeons is unlikely to give birth to the idea of a steamboat... I'm off track again, so let's get back to it. 

 In fact, although progress is a bit slow, Hino Toshiaki has been steadily gathering information through business and money. His information on maps, charts, countries, and cultures was a great success. 

 However, as soon as they moved on to the inland survey, they were crying out for help. 

I'm not so good at going inland, are you? Did you have any warning that you were going to give up? 

No, he had no problem being on land. He's just a slave, but he's made a lot of money, and he's bought a dozen men, and now he's got a dozen of them. 

 Are you sure? Twelve. 

 I'm never going to be able to have good relationships in a harem or be awkward in a harem. I'd probably get a hole in my stomach. 

 If it were me, I'd be happy enough to have someone I love get married. Wouldn't that be a bit tiring and painful if there were too many of them? I have a hard time understanding it. 

But, unlike on Earth, the slaves are all good-natured girls. I don't like to be a liar, but I'm a good person. And you feel guilty about having a good-natured girl as your slave. 

 Girls in other worlds have good personalities... I'm so excited! 

So he gives them all money and tries to free them all, but he's a handsome, kind, rich man. He asked them all to stay and they were duly married. Affectionate, all twelve wives. ...and the rear end can die. 

...hmmm.... 

 Oh, well, Tengakujo-sama is not happy, and Kanayako-sama was a misogynist? 

'I know you're going to squirm but isn't that a good story? What's the problem? 
...hmmm........squirm....... 

"I don't know which wife you are, but I'm quitting my job as an investigator because my wife almost died in the battle against the demons. I'll dedicate the goods I've earned to you, so please overlook it. If you're in trouble, you too can use it... 

 It was awesome to hear the apologetic offerings. A lot of local money, a fair amount of mithril, and a fair amount of adamantite. 

 And a secret treasure dragon ball. 

 A magic core stripped from the carcasses of water dragons that had been killed or died of natural causes, though not the first one. It's a vast tank of magic power, capable of creating tsunamis and calling storms, and its price is said to be on par with a castle. 

''The dragon ball is amazing, as long as you have it, isn't there any danger?'' 
It's impossible to control. A catastrophe could destroy the dragonball. And they know what to do with it. 

A great deal of the votive offerings, how much of it was clinging to the fan? 
'Collection is obligatory. Well, the votive offerings were not hard to come by under special circumstances. 
...hmmm.... 

Well, let's get started with Ryota's investigation plan. 

 I'm tired of just what's been going on, but it looks like I'm finally going to be next.
