Dungeons Appeared in Real Life Chapter 8

We enter the hole and came to the place where the light can be seen.

"From here is the dungeon"

"Is that so? Everyone prepare"

When one of the SDF says so, everyone took out weapons.
One of them took out a katana, another one a bayonet, another a long sword and the only woman in the SDF took out a Naginata.
Then, I opened my eyes wide when the strongest that I'm paying attention took out his weapon.
That person noticed that.

"Hmm? What happened?"

"Captain, perhaps that is the cause?"

"This?"

The person called captain raised his weapon.

"Yeah yeah, that's it. Usually, someone won't use such weapon"

"Say what. There is no better weapon than this"

"I guess so, but it won't be. It's not a weapon but a tool"

What the captain had was a scoop.
Yeah, that scoop is said to be a versatile weapon.

"Here, take a look. This person is amazed, isn't it?"

And, pointed to me.

"No-no, I'm not amazed"

"Eh? But, you were surprised"

"I was more impressed than surprised"

"Impressed?"

"Yeah, it's impressive. There was a person who was using a scoop as a weapon"

"E~to, where is that impressive?"

"Eh!? You, don't you know the versatility of the scoop though you are of SDF!?"

That person went down with my angry look.

"During the Second World War, it was a famous weapon that defeated the most approaching enemies! It's good to cut, to stab, to strike, to guard, the best weapon all-purpose, isn't it the scoop?!!"

That said, the captain grabbed my shoulder.

"You, know that"

The captain and I nodded.

"Uwa~, there was a person similar to captain here"

Saying so, I further say to the SDF.

"Also, overseas, the scoop is normally used as a weapon?"

"E!, LIE!?"

"It's true. The reason is the convenience of the scoop. As I said earlier, you can cut ad pierce and hit too, also can protect you like a s.h.i.+eld, it seems that cost is better than anything else"

"Cost?"

"Yes, that's right. For example that katana you have. How much was it?"

"Let me se~e, I think it was about 100 thousand"

"That sword?"

"It was around 70, 80 thousand"

"It's about that. Cheap weapons cost tens of thousands of yen. If they are expensive, exceed the hundreds of thousands. Howe~ver, scoops are thousands of yen at best, you can buy an expensive one at 10 thousand yen at most. Even if it gets broke it's easy to replace. And yet it's excellent as a weapon. There is no reason not to use this"

"Oo~, I see"

"For that reason, the scoop is often used abroad"

"Eeh~, is there a proper reason for being used?"

"Of course. The scoop won't be chosen as a weapon without reason. Me too, I would have chosen the scoop, if I hadn't had this hatchet"

I would like to use swords or katanas as an otaku, but if I use something that I'm not familiar is the origin of the injuries.
The hatchet that I occasionally used it, because it was at home, but I'm sure that I would use a scoop if it didn't have it.
However, I can say that the SDF is a soldier, but he doesn't know the usefulness of the scoop.
Did you not have listened that the scoop played an active role in Second World War?
Whatever.

"Well then, let's go ahead"

"Right. Let's go"

I advance with Pochi in the lead.
After a while, as usual, Pochi stops his feet.
I also stop.

"What's up? You stopped suddenly?"

"It's an enemy. Please prepare yourself"

As expected of veterans. They prepare immediately.

A little later a rat came out from the road.
There was one.

"What would you do?"

"Right? First of all, watch how we fight"

When says so, the captain steps forward.
Then, prepare the scoop.
The rat head for him.

Well, what will you do?

I observe how the captain moves against the approaching rat.

The mouse approached a certain distance from the captain.
Then, the rat suddenly blew away.

Eh?
What happened?

"U~n, like this?"

"It's not a big deal, right? Captain"

"Looks like it. If it is like this, even a beginner will manage it. Let's continue"

That said, he proceeds.
I was delayed to respond that.
I follow them a little late.
As I proceeded, I talk to the SDF woman who was next to me.

"Eh, can I have a minute?"

"What? I decline if it is Nanpa" (TN: Nampa is pick up women on the street)

"That's wrong. It's about earlier"

"Earlier?"

"Earlier, what did the captain do?"

"Ah, that. He just thrust with the scoop"

"Thrust it….. I couldn't see it at all"

"It can't be helped. Because I could barely see it. That's why I didn't mind it"

"Could you barely?"

"Yes, that's it. Anyhow, I'm the weakest in the unit"

I was surprised to hear that.
From my point of view, this person is a fully monster cla.s.s, still is being barely enough to see the movement of the captain.
How much is the strength the captain have?
The present me, don't understand that strength.
If I obtain more power, will I understand it?
Can I get more strength than that?
I don't know.
Now I have no choice but to do what I can.
I will get power without overdoing it because slow is good.
Maybe, even if I get that strength, probably these people will obtain more power.

The SDF's people knock down the rats that occasionally appear afterward.
I hardly understand that move.
I know that he did something.
But, I can't see how he did it.
I think that I saw that his arms blurred, the rats were split in two or crushed.
There is too much difference in level and I can't follow his movement at all.

While doing that, we arrive at a square where there are lots of rats.

"Uwa~, there is a lot~"

"Really. That's why I hate rats"

"What would you do, Captain?"

"Of course extermination. Let's go"

That said, they advance doing 'zunzun'.

"Troublesome"

"Don't complain. I'll go"

"He~y"

The rest advance too.
I'm watching behind them.

That's right. There is this thing called small fry enemy frequent in novels?
That's the kind of scene that I actually see.
I'm reminded of my powerlessness.
I can't do anything.

The people of SDF kill everything.
Rats are just knocked down without doing anything, I have to say with a single blow.
It took less than a minute for the annihilation to end.
The number of rats should have been about one hundred.
When I and Pochi face this number, it should take more than ten minutes at least and more than thirty minutes at long.
It took less than a minute…..
Besides, they are doing that calm and composed.
Far from being exhausted when that was over, neither they weren't out of breath.
The difference in power is too intense.

In novels, there are scenes where novice adventurers admire the high ranking adventurers, but I can't have such a feeling.
I only feel my own helplessness.
Pochi rubs his face against me, did you understand my situation?
I pat his head.
The official also noticed that my state was strange.

"What seems to be the problem?"

"Ah, it's not a big deal, but it's amazing"

"That's true. I can't imitate anything"

"Right. That's true. ….There is no need for me to be here"

"Not at all. Because you're here, we knew what kind of monster there is in advance and understood the way here. There is nothing unnecessary"

"But it's unlikely to be useful in battle"

"It can't be helped. Because they are professional"

"That's right, even so, I can't understand. I thought that I got some strength on my own, but I was. .h.i.t because it was an illusion"

That said, the official became silent.

The people of the SDF confirmed that there wasn't a survivor and return.

"Then, let's go ahead"

Being prompted, we continue.
