Evil God Chapter 77

"By the way,"

After we reached a place where we could pause the conversation, I changed the subject.

"What happened to the dungeons we worked on? It doesn't seem like they've spread in the human world though."

At my question, everyone obviously felt shaken.

"Was there another problem?"

"Nothing large enough to call a problem. Kenjian, Ipstar, Swans, Revapool, and Cheslo. The investigation teams went to all the dungeons."

As a result of being pressed by a number of people’s' gazes, Adrigori took a step forward and spoke.

"And all of the adventurers were wiped out."

"Huh?"

We've been running a few dungeons, but those dungeons' monsters were those we took away from other places.

We just released them, and didn't order them to not kill the adventurers who come.

In the first place, you can't give instructions to beasts with low intelligence anyways.

"No no, aren't those adventurers too incompetent?"

"The ones who came were failing adventurers. They didn't have enough power to survive in the dungeons."

"There were also dungeons for beginners though."

"Cheslo is like that. They could have turned back on the way, but they decided to continue on and were wiped out."

Are they idiots?

Make your strategy 'life is important'.

"Since they were wiped out, they couldn't go home and spread the information about the dungeons."

The dead can't speak.

"Since they didn't return, they were treated as missing people. Once again, the dungeon investigation team had to depart. We had Auretta move for us in various ways."

"I see."

There's no way for others to know what happened to the adventurers who received the request.

If they don't come back in a while, they'll judge that something happened and they died.

After that, they conduct a new investigation.

In other words, it takes time.

Of course, Earl Justin went in to request an investigation too.

Who is he, Earl Justin?

"The second investigation team visited the dungeon the other day, and splendidly ran away. That should have been reported to various Adventurers' Guilds. In the near future, a serious subjugation unit should be organized."

For the time being, it seems like we're making progress.

Receiving that report, I was satisfied and decided to rest.

A few days later, that information reached the newspaper, and some people got noisy about it.

Unnatural monsters settled in various dungeons.

If that was all, it'd just end with us saying 'Adventurer-san, good luck with subjugating it'.

However, the Briton Kingdom didn't let it end with that.

Kenjian had already become the trigger for a big mess before.

Therefore hurriedly, a subjugation team was created.

The captain is the hero, Fiona Spencer.

"That's why, we were invited by that lady."

After classes in the laboratory, Jamie was saying 'yareyare', and hitting herself on the shoulder. (TLN: sorry, I have no idea how to translate that. I just don't know any English equivalents.)

"It can't be helped, the citizens have become uneasy because of what happened last time. We have to do this in a hurry."

Tiraiza gave a supplementary explanation.

"If you're free, I'd like you to come though."

Yufilia invites me.

But, that's a dungeon that we evil gods are managing.

Of course, I don't feel like following them there.

"Ah, it's fine if you have something to do. This time other people will come, so it's not like we're low on people."

When I was wondering on how to refuse her, Yufilia withdrew easily.

I guess it means that she just asked me anyways.

Since we're companions, it'd be rude to just leave without saying anything.

"Well then, what are you going to do?"

Tiraiza asked me curiously.

Even if she asks that, I don't have any plans though.

Well, even if I say that I'll just be asked to join the subjugation team, so I'll stay quiet about that though.

"That reminds me, we had a promise to go out with just the two us."

When I mutter that, Tiraiza got surprised.

"Eh…with who?"

"No, it's with you though."

"Ah that one?"

To my words, she obviously felt relieved.

Then, she separated from Yufilia and the others and came to my side.

"Well then, do your best everyone."

When Tiraiza waved her hand at them and smiled, the 3 of them got angry with blue veins appearing on their foreheads.

Jamie took Tiraiza's hand, and drew her away from me.

"Wa,wait! I have plans now! Please let go of me."

"You can do your plans later. No, it'd be fine even if you cancel them."

"I will never cancel them."

"How much are you looking forward to them!?"

"Haa~? Th,that's not it."

Tiraiza is noisily struggling, but as a sage, she can't stand up to a warrior's ridiculous strength.

"In the first place, it's rare for me to refuse going to the dungeon."

"That's true. But this time we can't let you do that. Absolutely."

Jamie replied with a firm will.

"Kunu. Kunu."

"Till, with your power you won't be able to break free. Give up and come with us on the investigation."

Yufilia spoke coldly, and took Tiraiza along with her while transferring.

"They get along well~."

I gave my impressions, and left the empty laboratory behind me.

"Please release me now."

When they transferred right in front of Kenjian, Tiraiza rampaged again.

Thinking it was fine, Jamie released her.

"Haa, haa. Wasn't that mean?"

"In that situation saying that you're going on a date, even God wouldn't forgive you."

Iris inflates her cheeks and gets angry.

"God is that narrow minded……"

Tiraiza retorts in small voice.

"What are you guys doing?"

With a puzzled face, Fiona approached Yufilia and the others.

"Ah, that's just an unrelated conversation."

Yufilia panicked and answered.

"Fuun……it's a man isn't it!"

*Bishi!* Fiona points her finger at Yufilia and the others.

Since the 4 of them panicked and their faces turned red, Fiona realized that she hit the mark.

"Yo,you understood?"

"It's because I'm you senior as a hero, as an adventurer, and as a woman."

Fiona laughed happily.

"Well, if you adventure together and get through life and death situations together, it's not strange for relationships to evolve like this."

"Well then lady, you're the same?"

Jamie stares at Fiona.

"My party was made of 3 men and 1 woman."

"That reminds me, it was wasn't it?"

Yufilia responded.

"During the war with Lamelept 4 years ago, we had an 'if this war finishes……' kind of talk a few times."

"Ooooh."

"But that……"

Tiraiza timidly tried to retort.

"Yeah, the 2 who said that to me died in the war."

"I knew it."

That was the number 1 line you should never say.

It was a death flag.

"The remaining 1 man confessed to me after the war too, but it was awkward and the party ended up completely dissolving."

"After all, would it become awkward?"

"Well, yeah."

To Fiona's words, the 4 of them all looked to each other.

Then, they each nodded.

While they were talking about such things, the Briton Kingdom's Knight Leader Godref came over.

"I apologize for interrupting now that you've gotten excited, but we're ready to break in now."

The camp is made of 20 people, and unit that's breaking in are the elites.

If the breaking in unit doesn't return, they'll immediately report it to the country, and they'll have to suppress it with the army.

Because of what happened last time, this became quite important.

However, a large army hiding in the dungeon, something like that won't happen.

This has the highest difficulty among the 5 dungeons.

But it was still only to the level where they could easily clear it if there were heroes with them.

The monsters of the dungeon were cleaned up that day.

However, in the next few days the same enemies and treasure boxes showed up, confusing the people.
