135 As a result of the search, the earth was a danger ...




"Huh-uh ......
"Hee hee hee ......

 I'm not sure if you've ever heard of it or not, but it's a great idea.
 However, the path they took was a tough one.
 There are many intricate passageways. In addition, they had to find the stairs again to get to the upper levels.
 The architecture was unusually unfriendly, and the two people following them almost lost sight of Elomra and the others many times, or ran away to avoid being spotted by the two people who came back, consuming all their energy.
 It would have been better to talk to them and work together, but for some reason these girls insisted on following them.

I'm not sure what to make of this. It's a great way to make sure that you don't end up with a lot of problems.
I've heard that you are stronger than ...... Elovsky. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

 In addition to ascending the stairs in a straight line, the structure is designed to consume extra physical strength, such as heading for the stairs on the other side once you reach the floor.
 When they reached the ceiling, the structure became like a maze, and Celestina and her friends, who had never been in this place before, had to do all they could to avoid getting lost.

"Why don't those two ...... get lost?
"Do you know the structure of this place by any chance? No way. ...... These ruins were only recently discovered. ......
But that would explain the behavior of the two of you. I'm sure you're both heading for the exit, but you'll be very disappointed when you find it blocked with rubble.
"Have you ever been in a ruin with a similar structure? You're moving as if you're checking your memory.

 Elomra and the others never get lost.
 There is always a pathway in every direction they go, and they are sure to arrive at the upper levels.
 They consult with each other, and if they agree, they move forward, sometimes clearing away the rubble. There is no hesitation in this.

'Whoa, it's filled with debris again. Should we blow it up?
"From the looks of it, the building materials on the ceiling just fell down. ....... No fire.
"Well, if it catches fire, we're in trouble. But are the upper floors and the Ether Lante powered separately? It's pitch black as soon as we reach the top.
"The central control unit broke down first. It's ......, so we're all buried alive. I'm not sure what to do.
I'm sure there were mages and magic tools available, but there were plenty of ways to find a way out, weren't there?
I'm not sure what to do. I think the situation worsened when those who could make a calm decision were beaten up first,.......

 The two of them seemed to be talking about the reason for the demise of Ether Lante.
 As long as the city existed underground, there should have been a way to evacuate the people to the surface.
 However, there is no evidence that the passage was ever used.

"Ether Lante's system went down, and the chaos turned into a mob. While the mayor and others are being witch-hunted for their treachery, those familiar with the structure are fleeing quickly because they don't want to get involved.
I see, after ......, all that was left were those who were in mass hysteria, and the people who were maintaining the system escaped through the construction corridor.
"The maintenance corridor requires an ID or password. It's powered by an emergency battery that opens and closes for a certain amount of time. The rest of us can't open the exits, amen.
If you hadn't panicked, maybe you wouldn't have died. Oh, there's a light coming from up ahead.
Maybe the first people to leave tripped the circuit breakers. I think they could have killed us if they found us. ......

 While listening to Elomra and the others speculate, Celestina and the others don't quite understand what they're saying. But we do know that they are speculating about why this ruined city was destroyed.
 It seems that only the people who were working on the city escaped from this place and dimmed the lights for fear of being tracked down. If they didn't, who knows what those who were upset would do to them.
 Group psychology can spread from a few people to those around them, causing them to lose their calm judgment. Even if you ran away to protect your family, it would be nothing but betrayal from those who turned into a mob.
 Selfish logic will prevail and you will be filled with uncontrollable negative emotions. There is nothing more horrible than this. In a sense, it is like terrorism, because it does not listen to the opinions of others.

How do you know so much about them? Who the hell are they? ......
They talk like they know things we don't know. It's like a teacher. ......

 Celestina sensed something in Anne and the others that was the same as her teacher.
 You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier. And they have visited this place many times in the events of the game.
 There are a few misremembered details, but the general structure remains in a corner of my memory.
 However, there is no way that Celestina and the others are aware of such circumstances, and it is not surprising that they begin to share a commonality with Xellos in their knowledge and assessment of the situation.
The atmosphere that they share is somewhat similar to that of their mentor.
 I could not help but feel that there was a mysterious connection between them and Xelloss.

 The light was like fluorescent lights.

 Elomra and Anzu were walking down a fluorescent-lit passage.
 The pillars supporting the ceiling bedrock of Ether Lante, if their knowledge was correct, were also vents for air ventilation from the outside, and huge circuits for transmitting magical power.
 Naturally, there are passages for workers to come and go for maintenance. As it is a part of a huge system, there are many such places scattered all over.



"The lights are coming from this floor: ....... We're lucky the lights are still working. It would have been worse if it had been dark up ahead.
"But the ...... elevators were down. What a pain.
"Well, technically, the wires holding the elevator were broken and it was useless. It's no wonder it's been abandoned for so long.

 If the pillars themselves are the system, then it makes sense that there would be stairs and elevators to make it easier for the workers to work on them, but the pillars have been neglected for so long that they have deteriorated from the fragile parts.
 The ventilation system seemed to be alive, and the closer we got to the ceiling, the louder the mechanical noise became. However, every time we went up, we had to climb up the stairs, and every time we reached the upper floors, we had to look for the stairs.
 This is a measure to prevent foreign invaders and terrorists, but from the standpoint of the explorer, it is extremely troublesome. It would have been distracting if a monster appeared like in the game, but it was just a continuation of the same scene in every direction.

"Apricot, how far do you think we've come?
"We've already crossed the ...... bedrock. All we have to do is reach the surface. ...... We have about three floors left?
I think there's a basin up there, right? I think there was a cave where the Kobolds lived.
I'm not sure. It's also a good place to train Zveit and his team.

 The information that the two of them are referring to is Sword and Sorcery, but that doesn't mean that the information is actually correct. After all, Ether Lante was buried under the ground.
 Moreover, this underground road was supposed to have led to the end of the 【Far Flan Great Deep Green Zone】, but in reality, the road did not exist.

Didn't the big city to the east, the city of Meza-Si-Luva, exist?
Speculation is strictly forbidden. ...... It is very possible that it was destroyed first.
It's also possible ...... that it was destroyed before the underground connection, which would explain the current situation.
....... Are you aware of that?
Yeah, they're wearing you, aren't they? Maybe it's one of our students. ......

 I've been wondering about the eyes peeking at me from behind for quite some time now, but I've decided that at least it's not a demon, so I haven't bothered. But from here on out, it was uncharted territory.
 If he were to get too far away from her and be taught by a demon, it would be his own fault.
 She had fallen into slavery once, after all. If I become a criminal slave again, I won't be able to count on any reward.

Shall I call him? It might make us look like we're not doing our job.
"No ......, that's fair. It is the ninja's duty not to make unnecessary sacrifices. Ninjin.
...... Anzu-chan is not like an elementary school student, is it?
People often say ....... I'm just being myself and proud of it.
I don't know what kind of life you had in real life. ......
Are you curious? Are you a pedophile? Or a pedophile? s*x offender specializing in infants?
You're still going on about that. ....... Can we please stop this now? I'm sure you're not the only one. You've already been found out!

 I wept at the thought of myself being verbally defeated by a schoolboy, and called out to the tracker stalking behind me.
 I don't hear a reply, but I'm sure he's in a hurry. I don't want him to run off and get lost in some strange place, so I have to urge him to come to me.

It's an unexplored area. I don't want to get attacked by a demon, though. Can you please come out?

 He called out to someone behind him, but there was no reply.

...... No response. Suspicious?
Maybe. I'm not sure. If he dies, it's his fault for being so confusing, and I think he deserves it. ......
I warned you . It's worse when they don't respond. ...... Go f*ck yourself.

 Lolita ninja was extreme.
 I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've. I'm coming to you now! It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. Please stop! Don't do it!" came a desperate voice back.
 I guess they didn't think that I would seriously try to shoot magic at them.
 Well, it's not a spell to be used in a place like this. It was just a lie to lure him out.

"...... Tina, caro caro, stalker?
"Tina!
Caro Caro?

 The two were given strange nicknames by Anne.

I don't care what you call me, but I don't like the idea of you following me out of curiosity. What if something happens to you?
"Exploring ruins without armaments is reckless. ....... I'm sorry, both of you.
Ugh ......, I've been lectured by a younger boy.


But I can't tell you what's right.

 Their equipment was the minimum required by the academy, and it would be reckless to venture into such a dangerous place.
 If there is a demon in the area and it is caught, they are vulnerable to a fatal wound. After all, it has the defensive capabilities of a new player of Sword and Sorcery.
 It would be suicidal to come here with low defense equipment when you don't know what's waiting for you.

But it's an undiscovered place. As a seeker, I can't overlook it. ......
If they die because of it, it's our fault.
...... I'm obligated to report any undiscovered areas I find.
I should have gone to report it. I can't guarantee your life once you've arrived at .......
"Ugh .......

 Celestina and the others are here as part of a survey team.
 As soon as they discover an undiscovered area, they are obligated to report it to a survey team sent by the government. Elomra and the others were mercenaries and were only guards, so they had no obligation to report.
 Their positions were completely different.

But now that we've come this far, we can't turn them away, can we? I don't want you to get lost.
It's ...... too much work. Elomra, escort me.
Me? Seriously? ...... I don't want you to wander around.
I'm not sure what to say. You're slowing us down. ......
I'm not sure what to say. It's not a problem if you're as good as Anzu.
"From my point of view, Elomra is also a liability. She's weak. ......
"Isn't that terrible?

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.
 In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a few things you can do.
 Anzu was 【Sasuke Sarutobi】. As a side note, there are also "turtle ninja" and "red shadow", but they have to wear strange masks and shells.

It's no wonder we've come this far. I'm not sure if you have any extra equipment, Anzu-chan?
...... I'm not a magician, so I don't have any equipment. I have disposable items.
I've got a wand and some other stuff, but I don't have any ...... mage gear. They are men's and don't fit.

 If you want to go up to the surface, Celestina's equipment is not enough.
 I'm not sure what to do with it. However, Anzu is a ninja and Elomra is a Brave Knight. They do not have any mage equipment.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
"It's no use talking about someone who doesn't ...... have a positive outlook on life.
That old man must have all kinds of dangerous equipment. Weapons-grade dangerous stuff. ......
I'm a production guy, so I'm modifying stuff just for the fun of it. He's a maniac, but he's better than the rest of us. ......

 While complaining, Elomra handed them a disposable item.
 I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've. In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

You can't fight with this .......
I can take care of myself!
If you think this is just a ...... Rahmah forest, you need to get rid of that idea.
That's right. In some places, high-level demons may appear. It's dangerous to speculate, you know?
Ugh, ......, you're usually so unreliable, but you're always saying the right thing at times like this.
Maybe he's more powerful than we thought?
You two are so rude!

 Eromura, I was not considered a competent person because I am usually an idiot.
 It's a good idea to take a look at the actual information on the web.

You can find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing. On the contrary, I almost fell into slavery and was turned into a disposable pawn. ....... It's more of a favor than a reward. ...... d*mn it.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. Dad, I'm so pathetic I'm crying. ...... You should be sorry.
It's not even a consolation. You're opening up a wound.
I'm not consoling you. ....... I'm telling you to be sorry. The only place you can treat girls like objects is in erotic manga and erotic games: ....... Human rights should be protected.
"How do you know that? Are you really in elementary school?
"My idiot brother recommended an erotic game to me. ....... There was also a pretty erotic cuckold cuckold ...... loli. My brother was on to something. ......
I'm not sure what to make of this.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.


 Anzu's brother, who carried it out, was most likely up to no good. In fact, he was a dangerous person.

I'm not sure if this is your hobby or not. This can't be real. I'm not sure what you're dreaming about at your age. I'm not sure what you're talking about. How long are you going to be stuck here? She cried when I told her, 'You crusty bastard'.
"Anne, you're so strict. ----! You're mentally weak!
And when I gave my brother's erotic game to my father, he kicked me out of the house three days later.
Yeah, of course. My idiot brother could have been turned in to the police.
He attacked me out of spite, so I beat him back. ....... I think my parents have completely run out of love for me.
I think my parents are completely out of love with me. How weak can you be, brother?
He was fat and slow, so it was a piece of cake. ......

 My brother was a home security guard.
 I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it.

By the way, ...... Elomura is like my brother. The stupid part is ......
I'm sure you're not the only one. But I'm not going to mess with school kids!
I'm not going to mess with school kids!" "......, what do criminals have to say about that? You tried to create a slave harem. ......
"Maman, a schoolboy has gouged out an old wound. -----! I'm not a fan of kids!
I'm not even allowed to touch my kids! "...... said it's romantic to mess with kids. ......
"It was just a joke, you know?

 It's a joke!" Even if it's in the past, it's still a joke.
 Even if it is in the past, it is still what he said. Elomura is now paying the price for his foolish words and actions in the heat of the moment.
 Words are a recipe for disaster.

"Mr. Eromoeski, ....... You are .......
"You're a child molester? You're a pervert!
I want to go back in time and punch myself in the face for being so stupid!

 I want to go back in time and beat myself up!" The two girls' blank stares hurt.
 You can't change the past. The past cannot be changed. Even if the words and actions were done in the heat of the moment, they are an undeniable reality to those who remember the results.
 Whether it was a joke or a serious act, the result is decided when the person is recognized as 'he is a bad person. The situation that we are in now is the result of Elomura's actions.

...... actions come with responsibility.
Yes, I understand ...... very well. I've seen it firsthand ........ I'm going to live my life as an elf from now on. Nice buddy, .......
"...... sucks.
...... is a pervert.

 I've come to the point where I can no longer change my perception of perverts.
 Eromura's future is bleak.

"...... Stop playing around and get up. Time is ticking away.
It's not my fault, is it?
"...... Elomra, excuses are not manly.
"...... d*mn it.

 After being tossed around so much, Elomura cried as he continued on, even though he was met with a cold stare on his back.
 It is unclear whether happiness will come to the sorrowful man or not.

 ...

 After many detours and worker's inspection paths, the four were able to reach the ground.
 After clearing the occasional debris blocking the passage, they arrived at a huge circular building. This must be the ventilation dust.

...... is finally above ground. But ......
......There are ruins as far as the eye can see. ....... There was a city above ground, but now it's all wilderness.
There are ruins on the ground too ......, but they've been badly ruined.
There's snow on the ground. I knew I should have come with better gear.

 The buildings on the ground were similar to those in Ether Lante, but most of them were now buried in the forest.
 On top of that, there was snow on the ground, probably at least three meters deep due to the mountainous climate.
If we went down to the ground, our feet would definitely be buried under the snow.

Fortunately, the perimeter of this large ventilation shaft is made of cement. Fortunately, the perimeter of this large ventilation shaft is made of cement, and not a single piece of tempered glass is broken. The question is, can we get out of ......?


No problem. The door is the kind that opens inward, and when you leave, there's just a wall of snow in front of you. ......
That's not a normal way to get out, is it?
You're not going to blow it up with magic, are you?

 Anne was a reckless person.

"No, no, no, it's not always safe to be near the ground! You can open the door, but if a demon gets in, that's bad.
"No ...... problem. All you have to do is sacrifice Eromura.
Anne, that's terrible! What the hell did I do?
"...... s*xual harassment.

 Anzu had a surprisingly deep-seated personality.

Did you see that ...... shadow moving in the woods just now?
What? Where are you, Ms. Carosti?
It's behind the trees on that building. A goblin?

 We all looked through the window and sure enough, there was a moving shadow.
 It had a head reminiscent of a pig or boar and a bluntly fat body, but it was moving from shadow to shadow with a swiftness that belied its image.

I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. There may be others of the same level as me. ...... Are you okay?
I'm sure you'll be able to find something to help you out.
Look! They're still in the back.

 There are quite a few High Orcs and High Orc-Knights in the forest, each carrying a weapon and moving in a coordinated manner. It was as if they were warriors challenging a battle.
 At the very least, without the High Orc Lords and High Orc Generals, they would not be moving like this.

There's something over at ...... over there too.
The other side is ...... seriously, that thing is .......

 It is a humanoid demon with the head of a dog.
 You can find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing.

You're kidding, it's a Greater Kobold. And there are several large ones.
"...... is a piece of cake.
Not you, Anzu! It's too much for us to handle!

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, please feel free to contact us.
 In the event that you've got a lot of money to spend, you're going to want to make sure that you're able to get the most out of it. If you're an apricot that's been through a lot, you might be able to win easily, but this was not a place for low-level people to enter. Celestina and Calostee were like going to their deaths.

Mr. Erodycek: ....... Are you really weaker than a girl?
"You are surprisingly sloppy. Are you really going to let a girl like this fight?
The level is different. She's at least twice as strong as me!
You can't believe that!
You're right! That's not a manly excuse!
Anne's level rating is over 1000. I'm barely over halfway there!
"What?
"...... That's my sisters. I'm at level 866 right now. I was hungry and ate seven of the fruits of the world tree and it went up.

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
 So, the strongest of them all is you.
The fruits of the world tree can increase your body level and skill level by 20 to 30 at will. I don't know if it can be collected in this world, but it is a mythical rare item.
 The original level of the item is 711. 157 is added to the original level by the [Fruit of the World Tree]. In the case of Anzu, it seems that she was able to achieve [Extreme Breakthrough] at an early stage, and she did not know the condition.
 Most of the top players have met the requirements for "Extreme Breakthrough" before they knew it, and many players are bothered by this incomprehensible system.
 Incidentally, like the golden apple, it can also be used as an ingredient for the elixir of life, and is not something that can be eaten just because you're hungry.
 Fortunately, no one in this other world was aware of its rarity. If there were scholars who knew about it, they would have been overwhelmed.

One of the top-ranked parties following the old men of the Annihilators is the Six Kages. Anzu is one of those members. ....... I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm not sure what to say.
You can't go to a high level in elementary school unless two of your party members are your own sister ....... There is no time to spare.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. It's a demon. I need you to introduce me to your sister.
I'm not sure what to make of that.

 I'm not sure what to make of this. She is currently a freelance programmer and musician who makes a good living from web distribution.
 However, she is very strict with her younger twin brothers, who are both high school graduates. Rather cold.


 Anzu's brother, the other brother, is a fresh young soccer player who has no interest in video games and is more interested in sports. He is a member of the company team and is active on the field.
 He has a brother in high school and an older sister in junior high school, who is a novelist and a revolutionary in the world of rotten girls.


...... is the next best thing to a teacher? You're kidding, right? You're kidding me? You're so small. ......
Seriously ....... I'm not sure what to make of that. It's a monster, to put it bluntly. It's a ninja master on par with the Great Sage.
"Hmmm... The name [Sasuke] is not a fluke. I think the [Annihilator] is overwhelmingly stronger now. Not long ago, I was hunting disaster class monsters to gather materials. ......
I'm not sure if you're helping me with this ...... reckless hunt, Anne?
The reward was good, so I did a little. I got the rest of the party involved and we had a blast together.
"Wait, comparable to the [Great Sage]? Celestina, ...... you said earlier that you were a teacher when you heard of the【Annihilator】? That means that ...... it was ...... who taught you magic.
"Oh, .......

 I'm sure you've heard of it.
 I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

"That's not fair! It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.
It's not that I didn't teach you ......, it's just that there are deep circumstances that prevent me from teaching you .......
What are you talking about? It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. I can't believe they would let such a person be buried!
I'm sure you'll agree with me. He can live as he pleases and run amok as he pleases. If they do anything unnecessary, the country will be destroyed.
"Anzu-san, ......, you seem to know a lot about the [Great Sage], don't you?
"...... Well, you made me a weapon. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.
This is too much. ....... What are you doing, that old man?

 The effect was bad.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. This effect gives the ninja a very high probability of being affected by abnormal conditions.
 Moreover, in the event, the occupation name was changed from "Ninja Master" to "Sasuke Sarutobi". In addition to increasing your sword attacks, this trait also increases your critical rate. It also greatly increases your speed and dexterity, allowing you to set traps at a moment's notice. If you make an enemy, you'll have a nasty special ninja.
 As a side note, there are other professions such as [Saizo Kirigakure], [Tobikato], [Hanzo Hattori] and [Goemon Ishikawa]. The ninja profession is a bit unique.  

The [Annihilator] is also trained in combat skills. An ordinary warrior will never be able to beat him. ......
Really? ....... It's a good thing I betrayed you. You're even more of a monster than I expected. ......
You're not a ...... mage, are you? You're the Great Sage, aren't you?
I'm not sure what to say. It's just outside the bounds of common sense .......

 In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
 In fact, he is the complete opposite, so it is useless to expect any lofty ideals from him.

I think you are far from being a "wise man" as Mr. Carosti calls you. I think you'd be better suited as an evil mage who joins the side of the [Demon King] just because it sounds interesting. ......
You're right.
I'm not sure what to make of that. That's strange!
...... "Personality has nothing to do with being a [wise person]. It's a good thing to have a dream, but the world is not like a story of good and evil.
Ms. Anne, that's harsh. But you're right. I've heard that you've caused a lot of trouble in many places. ......
I don't get it. ......

In the world of Swords and Sorcery, the Annihilators, all five of the Great Sages, were merry men.
 They get into and cause all sorts of trouble, but they are quite conscientious to their customers and friends.
 They even sell recovery items at a discounted price to beginner players as a form of human experimentation in the name of volunteerism. Some of the players have had a bad time.
 The damage suffered is far greater than the benefit. Especially during raids, there are always casualties.
 Even so, my profession is [Great Sage]. He creates items with disturbing effects, happily goes out to gather troublesome materials, backtrains PKers with vicious demons, and blows up his friends in mass battles with magic.
 Even though his occupation is [Great Sage], it is only for convenience, and what he does is no different from a terrorist.  

If the whole country were to offer him hospitality, he would be the first to disappear. He's not very good with authority figures.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I'd like to learn from you at least once, even if you are a terrible mage.
You can meet him privately, but I don't think he would want to be entertained by a crowd. I'm sure he'd avoid being entertained by a crowd. He's declared himself a recluse.


"That guy didn't look like a hermit to me. Well, he seemed to be playing pretty much as he pleased. ......
"...... [Annihilator] doesn't like to be tied down. Basically a free man.

 I'm not sure what to say. In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.
 However, there is no way that such a high-ranking existence can be controlled. In addition, a level over 1,800 is not only uncharted territory, but also comparable to a low-level god.
 It's a nasty thing to make enemies with, and in a sense it's hard to deal with even if you're an ally. The reason why the Duke of Delsacis does not try to incorporate him into his camp is because he keeps a moderate distance from him.
 He pays them when necessary and keeps a safe distance to borrow their power. They know that a powerful force with a will is difficult to control.
 If you push them too hard and they explode with emotion, the damage could be unbearable. The smaller the risk, the better.

"It's no use staying here forever. It's getting cold. ......
When I got to the surface, ...... I found myself in snow country.
It's not a good idea to leave the building, and we should probably go back.
It would be better. What if a demon gets in here and ...... what?

 Calostee spotted a shadow moving at the end of the passage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is someone at the back of ......, isn't there?
What's that?
"......! It's .......

 The person in the back was a gray Kobold, nearly two meters tall.

I'm not sure what to make of it. It's the High Kobold!
It's not good. ...... There are three of them slowing you down. It's a good idea to run away.

 The four of us who are here now know that the facility we are in has already been devastated to the point where demons can enter.
 There was a hole in the wall somewhere, and it was likely that the demons had entered through it.
 Elomra drew his sword from his waist and took a stance to intercept the demons.
