The Other Side of the Last Boss Chapter 78

People finally noticed the unusual phenomena occurring in dungeons.

If you think about it through the perspective of common sense, it was a strange phenomena.

Why were monsters coming into the dungeon one after the other?

Why did this suddenly start occurring?

The suspicions are countless.

Therefore, various discussions took place.

A prominent theory said that it was through the same system as demons.

They don't know why demons appear.

However, there's no doubt that they appear from nothing.

Even though it's not like they were summoned by anybody, they suddenly emerge.

The theory says that this is the same.

This is the same as actually not clarifying anything.

However, since it stated that this was the same phenomenon as something that actually occurs, it was persuasive.

While there are some people who like to argue against this, there are also those who don't think too deeply about it and accept it.

Even if you don't understand the reasons, as long as there's profit in it, that's fine.

Treasure boxes regularly appear in the dungeon.

This is also strange, but let's omit the argument.

Of course there are misses, but most of the time they have treasures or magic items contained in them.

Treasures are also quite the harvest, but the magic items are even more extraordinary.

This was because they were at a performance that couldn't be made by humanity.

The adventurers who get their hands on them first use them for themselves, so they're not often put up for sale.

Although their value might fall as the days go by, they're currently sold for a high price.

Dreaming of making a quick fortune, everyone rushed to the dungeon.

Indeed, the world is now in the great dungeon era.

(TLN: Ashtal's speaking here using 'boku'.)↴

There was also a period when I thought that would happen.

In reality, it's not that popular.

"Well, isn't it somewhat popular?"

Jeko speaks as if he doesn't have even a speck of interest.

We were chatting in a room in the Dark Temple.

"In the first place, we'd be troubled if it was that popular. If a large amount of people jump into the dungeon, there'd be nothing we could do."

The old man is reading the newspaper.

Even if it's to get rich easily, they'd still be risking their lives.

There's no way that there'd be that many reckless people.

It's not like they'd be fine even if they fail multiple times, like in a game.

In reality, they'd lose their lives.

"For the time being, we've succeeded in making them turn their eyes to dungeons. Also, humanity's equipment will be strengthened."

"You should be content with that."

Adrigori agreed.

"By the way, there's one problem."

The old man changed the talk.

"Since people often go to the dungeons, the subordinates working behind the scenes have found it harder to work."

"It'd be a huge problem in the off chance that they were seen."

"That's why, I'm came up with a plan."

The old man handed me a piece of paper.

Why did treasure chests begin appearing in dungeons?

I have succeeded in finding out the cause.

This is because of fairy-san.

Fairy-san is working hard behind the scenes, in places that people don't see.

After the treasure boxes have been emptied, they'll refill them.

If we run out of monsters, they'll do their best to capture and bring some more.

The boss at the back of the dungeon is something that Fairy-san gave their best and summoned.

Fairy-san dislikes being seen by people.

Therefore, please don't stay in the dungeons all day.

If that happens, nothing will be replenished.

Also, Fairy-san gets angry if someone that's far pa.s.sed the suitable level for the dungeon damages it.

Please be prepared to be harmed.

Earl Justin.

With dead eyes, I gazed at the newspaper article galley.

"This article will be published in newspapers all around the world."

"Again, who's Earl Justin?"

The old man makes a bitter smile at my retort.

"That person doesn't exist. At first, he might be hard to believe in, but they'll understand eventually. Just like this."

If so, they'll have no choice but to follow these rules.

"However, since we've gone this far, we might need someone to be responsible for playing that role."

"No, if he doesn't exist, he doesn't exist. There's nothing really wrong with that……"

"Of course, Jeko, Adrigori, and Gareth who've recently been undertaking activities outside can't do it."

"Let's have someone else do it."

Without responding to my muttering, Adrigori and the others kept speaking happily.

"By the way, what happened to Gareth?"

"He should be in the town of Rhodan."

"Fumu."

Well, it's fine for him to go out in his free time.

There's also a theory that states that the evil G.o.ds have too much free time that they don't know what to do with it though.

"He said he'd go meet an acquaintance."

"Was there a woman who he got along with?"

"It's probably not a woman……"

Adrigori was puzzled.

"Wh……at?"

I get stunned, and open my eyes.

Certainly, it'd be weird for an evil G.o.d to go out of their way to meet a woman.

No way, that guy……

"I should have forbidden men though!"

"About that……even if you said 'forbidden', you didn't really tell us what was bad and what was okay."

I see. It's because these guys don't have that kind of knowledge.

Of course, what's forbidden is that.

It's embarra.s.sing to say it.

"It'd be impossible to say that just meeting them is forbidden. As long as we're active in Rhodan, no matter what we do we're going to have contact with men."

The old man seriously spoke.

"It's obvious that I meant that act which is embarra.s.sing even to just say."

"Okay……is there an act in this world that would make us evil G.o.ds hesitate just to say?"

"There is. I'll explain it to you eventually."

I abandoned explaining it, as I was completely exhausted.
