Chapter 146
Side: Yuki
Yaa Yaa, Congratulations on defeating the Demon King
In front of me is the ringleader that brought me to this another world eating in the hall the remaining cookies.
Something must happen for you to call me from your side
Sitting on the opposite side, I face the goddess while pouring tea.
Thanks to Lilyciu, lately I can communicate with this useless goddess without problems, but because she is always busy, the only moments where we can talk are in the middle of dinner where she comes to steal my food. Also, it seems that she talks a lot of things with my wives and gives them advice, but she never comes directly to me.
No, we talk sometimes, but its not always possible since Luna herself is busy managing other worlds and the like, besides the content of our conversation is not something we can let my wives heard.
Therefore, that she came to praise my actions could mean various things.
Shes planning something!
What? That you are praising me means that I gained some bonus or something?
Correct, Ill give you that
Dont say that you will send me to another place
Eh!?
Bullseye.
How did you know?
Thats not a bonus at all. Its just a nuisance
No that, answer my question. Rather, youll be able to conquer other places, you know? That can only be a bonus!
What are you talking about? You already know my posture. Why should I extend on purpose my territory? Its troublesome, and besides, my territory is not stable yet. It would be foolish to extend my territory any further. Also, about your question, Im sure you want me to spread the DP I have accumulated so far in other places, isnt that right?
Ugh, you know even that?
I guessed, though. In the first place, in a world where magic can be circulated by only creating dungeons, there would be no need to assign purposely a dungeon master. After all, all you have to do is place dungeons around the world at your discretion and spread the magic gathered. If not, you wouldnt show your face so often. And dont come up with the excuse that you are busy
The reason I came to this world was in order to circulate the magic on this planet.
According to Lunas explanation, a dungeon collects magic power and circulates it on the planet.
I know for a fact that a dungeon collects magic power since Im the one doing it.
Then, the method to circulate magic?
You just have to leave everything to the dungeon? Thats what I thought at the time, that the dungeon was an independent entity.
But I was wrong, each one of them is controlled by someone.
So I guessed some things.
Originally, you made so all the dungeons masters could contact each other, right? Like a parent company and a subsidiary
Its like you said. And then with the DP earned in one region, they would use the DP in another No, its about sending magic power to areas where theres not enough
Dont tell me, you are trying the idea behind Japans, no, the other side in this world?
I was wrong. I was naive thinking everything would be okay. Since here everyone knows about Gods, I tried sending orders from above, but in the end, each one of them chose to follow their desires over cooperating. The problem started even before I could make them cooperate. The person who gathered a certain amount of magic power would be designated as the parent company while the others as branches, but now everything is a mess
Anyhow, if I remember well, you said that the current civilization will be destroyed many years late when the magic power is exhausted, right?
Thats right
Of course, its impossible. Even on Earth there are environmental problems such as global warming and although it is only seen as a number, Earth hasnt been able to find a solution, you know that, right? So its not like the native people chosen by Luna will be able to execute your plan. Unlike on my planet, I cant see numbers, hell, I cant even feel like its real. But since I was chosen by God, then Ill do it properly
Thats why Ive pulled you
Right, because I secured a large amount of DP, magic power in a short period of time its the reason why I was acknowledged by Luna as a parent company.
Well, Im sure this time its compulsory to receive the bonus, right?
Thats right. That continents magic power is almost depleted. If you dont build a dungeon right away and start to circulate the magic, then it would take a lot of time and effort to start circulating magic power from zero
Ah, its difficult like reforesting a desert?
Something like that. I want you to move as quickly as possible. Ill be linking a gate to the deepest part of the dungeon
Hey stop a moment, dont link something like that right now! Could you not open a gate to the other side without me first knowing the situation? Its very annoying
You dont need to worry. Or so I would say, but something like that wont work on you
Of course. I dont want to put at risk my wives and Weeds inhabitants
Thats why this time Ill be supporting you fulfilling a request of yours
Then use your godly powers to handle the situation
Even if I do that, you already know that it would be only delaying the situation!!
I figured it. Its important that the people living there recognize the need for the dungeon and implement it. By the way, Im sure you too are aware that its not a bonus when you said that you wanted to support me sending me there as it were a joke
Ill prepare another thing so forgive me
There are more, eh? But there are no many things I want now.
Even if you give me modern weapons for free and I deploy them, seeing the state of this continent, it could intensify war even more.
Therefore, the only thing we can do is to strictly manage our territory.
That is to say, if we are under the eyes of other countries, it would be difficult to move around.
As of now, our modern weapons are not known to the general public and were only seen at the Rankusu annihilation battle operation. To the extent that we can explain with magic.
And in the end, Weed was recognized as a small country with powerful soldiers by the other countries.
Even Luna herself said it, If I go to a new continent I wont be able to use the pushing through strategy by using DP.
I will only be able to use them for self-defense, and if I were to face an invasion with only that much military strength, it will become a situation like in Rumel.
And the cheat weapons like in those cliche stories or games are also not good. Those are also overpowering
No, they are not even worthy to mention in front of my wives.
My? is MS or AC good?
I can only use them as a hobby. If I use them for war, it will be only troublesome later on
Its the same with MS or the AC.
By the time we swept the continent with such things, many countries will follow us only because of our tremendous strength and starting at that moment we will have no choice but to become a real country.
And no way in hell I will endure being busier than Im right now!
Well, lets leave the bonus for later, for now, tell me about the continent that is on the verge of exhaustion of magic power
Right, I understand
Then, Luna spread a map.
No, more than a map, a photo. One that looks like it was taken from a satellite
Ive taken it from space after all
Hey, this monster
It seems that this useless goddess can break through the atmosphere by herself.
No, maybe its a warp.
This is the place where you are living on the continent, okay? And from here to the east of the ocean there is a certain place, and thats is this continent
Luna points there.
That continent is smaller than the one where we are, though its overwhelmingly larger than Japan.
So, whats the situation on that continent?
To put it simply, local warlords are fighting between themselves. Because magical power is scarce there are few people capable of using magic. One in every thousand people should be able to use attack magic
Hey hey, if we go there, arent we going to die from magic exhaustion, right?
There is no problem with that. Its not like people lost the magic power inside them, its just that because the magic power is running out, you would need twenty times the normal magic power to cast magic. Well, one of the effects that it has is that it lowered the birth rate of creatures with great magic power
Ah, so its like that. In other words, the fuel consumption is bad. And its a vicious circle
That continent is trying to absorb magic power by all means possible, its that kind of environment. And because of that, the number of monsters born from the magic power is extremely few. Dragons are legendary creatures over there. However, beastmen are normal. Well, here too the birth rate is falling
Ah, its like I guessed, beastmen are born from the magic power?
Thats right. It wouldnt be strange for them to appear on Earth if they were born normally, right? I mean, magic makes it possible for contradictions to appear on bodies of living things, probably
Probably?
Its not like a did a genetic analysis. Well, the birth rate is declining in the areas where magic power is running out, so its not entirely wrong either
Well, its not like I can deny it. Rather, why is that despite having so many creatures their continent is drying up compared to here? If you first dont find the cause, then there is no meaning in me going there
I dont know why. Despite having so many creatures, the entire continents magic power is drying up. I believe there is some reason, and I want you to find it
Ah, so thats what you mean. And thats why you wanted me to go there right now
Thats right. If we are going to get involved, then I want you to look into it right away. If we are not careful, we can end up accelerating the exhaustion of magic power
Seriously, this is quite troublesome.
Why is that Weed and that continent are
However, Weed is already being managed by the inhabitants itself and each country can fend by themselves already, so it should be fine somehow, right?
You can come back anytime to this dungeon and even Weed, so the management should not be a problem
No, Id be twice as busy. Anyway, I must discuss this with my wives
Ill leave that part to you
According to Lunas explanation, Ill be going whether I like it or not.
If the true cause of the magic depletion of this new continent can be seen in a visible way, then Ill be able to advance in big steps towards the goal.
So, where will the gate that connects to the other dungeon take us?
Ah, there
The place where she pointed her finger was in the middle of the continent, where it is said that local warlords are fighting.
Hey, there are enemies all around!
It will be hard to find out who are allies or enemies, hey!
Tell me something, what about the owner of that dungeon?
Ah, that. Once the depletion of magic started, the maintenance of the dungeon increased twenty times, and so, it died
What the heck you mean by twenty times!!
Now I will get scolded by my wives.
It will be hard to attack and support making full use of my DP.
Uh It will be troublesome but Ill have to do it.
