目の前の扉が閉められ、足音が遠ざかっていく。
「ダンジョンマスターですって? そんな、あり得ない」
私はそう一人呟いた。
彼は自分のことを「ダンジョンの運営をしている」と紹介してきた。
しかし状況的に彼...ユキさんは嘘を言っているとも思えない。
私が保護?されたのはダンジョンの中、そしてそこで遭遇した卑しいとされ特に女性から嫌われてるゴブリンである。
そのゴブリンが私たちに危害を加えるのでもなくここまで連れてきたのだ。
「オリエル、あなたはユキさんがダンジョンマスターだということを信じますか?」
「状況からみて嘘は言っていないとは思いますが、本当の事を言ってもいないと思います」
「それは私たちも同じですわね...」
「ええ、彼、ユキと言いましたか、まだ判断するには状況がわかりません。私がいうのもなんですがユキは一応私たちを治療して約束は今の所守られています」
オリエルは先ほどの行動を思い出して顔をしかめている。
「オリエル、あなたやっぱり...」
「はい、申し訳ございません。殺すまではなくとも制圧してこちらが主導権を握ろうと思っておりました」
気持ちはわからないでもない、相手がどのような思惑で私たちを保護したのかがわからないのだから、しかしユキさんは今の所約束を守ってくれている。
私たちが奴隷にされてから苦しんでいた痛みから解放してくれたのだ。
「これからどうなるかはわかりませんが、私たちに害がない限りはオリエル、ユキさんへの敵対行為や暴行は固く禁じます」
「はい、承知いたしました。しかし、指定保護ですか...行動そのものを封じるものみたいです。私は治されたあと殴りかかろうと思いましたが動けませんでした」
「あなたは...」
オリエルの献身には感謝しているが今回は行き過ぎている。今の所彼に何も非はないのだ。むしろ奴隷から解放に治療。普通ならば頭を下げるべきだ例えユキさんがあのダンジョンマスターだとしても。
「明日お話する機会があるみたいですし、しっかりと謝罪とお礼をしなくてはいけませんよオリエル」
「...約束はしかねます。私はエルジュ様を守ることを優先させていただきます」
「オリエル!!」
私はその後食事が届けられるまでの間オリエルにお説教をしてしまいました。
side:カズヤ・トリノ 偽名ユキ 一応主人公
まずは女性達の話だけを進めよう。男達も色々あったのだが、まあむさいので割愛。今度思い出したら話すとしよう。
結局その日は彼女達へ明日の話す事を伝え自室に戻った。
現在朝8:00。いつものように携帯のアラームで目を覚ます。
初日こそ自分が異世界に本当に飛んだのか疑ったが人間慣れるもんである。即座にMAPを開いて異常がないか確認する。まあダンジョンに異常や侵入者があれば警報が鳴るようにはしてるのだが心配なもんは心配である。
635DP
おお、思ったより増えている。昨日ダンジョン内で捕獲した男3名は指定保護をしていないのでダンジョン内にいる限りMPを一時間あたり吸収されるのである。
軽く戦闘も寝ている間に起こったようで人ではない、対処可能と判断した場合、ダンジョンは侵入物が来ても俺を起こさないようにしている。
ま、それを差し引いて考えると、一時間あたりMPの100分の1を吸収するみたいだな。
4桁のMP持ちを捕虜にできたのはおいしいな。
これの使い道はあとで考えるか...とりあえず朝ごはん食べてさっさと彼女達にこの大陸の情報を聞いてみよう。
腹を満たしてPCは流石に混乱を招きかねないので手帳とボールペンをもって彼女達の所へと向った。
地図が「そこ掘れワンワン」で販売してはいるのだが1万DPだと。
そんな事を考えつつ彼女たちがいる場所へとたどり着く。
「おはようございます。どうですか、体に異常とかは?」
「いえ、お気遣いありがとうございます。異常もありません」
「そうですか、オリエルさん?でしたっけ、そちらは大丈夫ですか?」
「ああ問題ない...昨日は失礼した。状況が状況だったので過分に反応してしまった」
すこしオリエルが気まずそうに謝罪をしてくる。
「いえ、気にしていませんよ。で、どうでしょうか、お話...情報を聞かせていただいてよろしいでしょうか?」
「はい、構いません。しかし本当にユキさんはダンジョンマスターなのでしょうか? 疑うわけではないのですが、私たちが聞き及んでいるダンジョンマスターとは全く違うのですが」
「申し訳ないのですが私はそのエルジュさんが知っているダンジョンマスターというものがわからないのです」
「どういうことでしょうか?」
「私は...」
「ちょっとまっていただけますか、普通に喋っていただいて構いません」
「そうですか、ではお言葉に甘えて。俺は気が付いたらこのダンジョンの運営者、そっちで言うダンジョンマスターにされてたんだ...」
そこから俺は嘘八百を並べ立てる。この大陸の名前をしらない、向こうにはダンジョンはなかったこと、ダンジョンに来る前は町に住む普通の人間だったということ。
しかし、このダンジョンコアが俺とつながってる事が感覚的にわかりそれが害されると自分にも害があるということ。
いやーよく出るわ出るわ、まあ、ある意味嘘でもないか。
「そうだったのですか、そんなことが」
「ああ信じられないと思うが、納得してくれ。こっちも最初は混乱したんだ」
「いえ、ユキさんの行動は信用できます。どう思うオリエル?」
「筋は通っています。私たちをだましてここで会話する意味もありませんし」
「よし、じゃあいろいろ聞いていいか?」
「はい構いません」
そして俺は今欲しい情報を知っているか彼女達に聞いてみた。
これからは箇条書きで質問と返答内容を記していこうと思う。
ダンジョン運営者...ダンジョンマスターと呼び、ダンジョンが出来れば即時討伐の編成やくみしやすいのなら、監視して冒険者や騎士達の身近な訓練場となるらしい。ダンジョンには危険度が存在し、ダンジョンコアだけで比較的安全なのが訓練場と適していて魔物が強ければ攻略待ちとなる。
尚、俺みたいにダンジョンマスターがいるダンジョンは、最上位の危険度設定されてるらしい、今まで記録されてるのは12ほど。そのどれもが国の近衛兵を一個中隊ほど投入してようやく攻略と討伐ができるかどうかである。その内2つは当時の魔王や有力な国を飲み込むほどの力を有していただと。
勇者...やっぱりいるらしい。スキルに「○○の勇者」とつくのが勇者の条件。記録によれば今まで幾人の勇者が生まれ死んでいったらしい、しかもその中で重宝されるのが「異世界の勇者」というスキルで、卓抜した戦闘性能を有しているらしい。ち、やっぱ異世界召喚があるのか。
魔王...こっちもお約束だった。魔族と魔物を統べる王で、こっちの定義は曖昧でこちら側は呼称してるだけとの事。まあスキル見せて我が魔王だ!!なんて証明するわきゃないよな。現在確認されている魔王はこの大陸では2名、魔王はどうやら複数いるらしい。
この大陸について...この大陸の大きさは話だけではよくわからないが、今いるこの場所は現在ロシュール国という国の領地に指定されており、ここから15kmほど行った場所に町があるらしい。やべ!! 15kmって近すぎね?と焦ったがこの世界、車とかはもちろんなく馬が移動手段でしかも町の外には魔物が闊歩する世界だ。なるほどいい位置とはルナの言う通りらしい。
ロシュール国に関して...国土は現在大陸にある国の中で五本の指には入り、国土に恥じない強国であるらしい。現在は他国と領土争い中らしい。若干誇張を感じる。だって目の前の人そこの王女様だし、それが奴隷ってお察しである。
国防にかかわることなので教えてくれるかわからないが、首都の人口を聞いてみたがあっさり答えてくれた。「20万もの民が支える大変繁栄し名君な国王の下、いまだ人が増えつづけております」
20万で誇れるのか...やっぱ中世ヨーロッパ並みというの間違いないらしい。いやよくやっているとみるべきか。
種族について...ルナの言う通り獣耳を付けた獣人・エルフ・人と人族だけでも多岐にわたるらしい。
とまあいろいろ聞き出したがそろそろお腹が減ってきたと思ったら12時を回っていた。
「長々とすまん。食事を用意しよう」
Side: Herge Lau Roch.e.l.le
The door closed in front of my eyes. I heard the footsteps go farther away.
[A dungeon master? That can't be]
I murmered by myself.
He introduced himself as "Dungeon Adminstrator".
But, with the current situations, he...Yuki-san wouldn't tell us a lie.
I was sheltered? insde a dungeon, and there I encountered supposed vile creatures who were especially hated by women, goblins.
Those goblins took us here without hurting us.
[Oriel, do you believe Yuki-san when he said that he was a dungeon master?]
[With the current situation, I don't think he would lie but I also think he didn't tell use the truth.]
[I also agree with that...]
[Yes, he, Yuki wasn't it, I still can't make a judgement on our circ.u.mstances. Even though I said that, Yuki did treat us and therefore kept true his word]
Oriel frowned as she recalled what she had said before.
[Orield, as I thought, you...]
[Yes, I'm very sorry. Not as far as killing but I thought we should take take control of the situation.]
I can't say that I don't understand her feelings. We don't know what the opponent's expectations were as he put us under his protection. But, Yuki-san at the moment is keeping his word.
We, who were suffering after being turned into slaves, were freed by him after all.
[I don't know what will happen from now on but as long as there is no harm that could come upon us, we will not interact with Yuki-san with hostility of violence.
[Yes, I accept. But, a.s.signed Guardian...the act itself seems to already have been sealed. After I was healed, I tried to hit him but I couldn't.]
[You...]
Oriel's dedication is something I'm thankful for but this time it went too far. Right now he's done nothing wrong. In fact, he not only treated us but also freed us from the slavery collars. Normally you would thank someone by bowing your head even if they were a dungeon master.
[Tommorow, it seems we will have a chance to speak more. We have to properly apologize and give thanks Oriel.]
[...I am unable to promise that. For me, Herge-sama's safety takes priority.]
[Oriel!]
I lectured Oriel until it was time for a meal.
Side: Kasuya Torino Alias: Yuki For the time being the protagonist (lol)
Well first lets proceed with the women's story. The guys also had various things happen but, well they were lacking in ability so I left them out. The next time I come up with something I will talk with them.
After all, that day I told them that I would talk with the tommorow and went back to my room.
Right now its 8:00 a.m.: Like always I woke up to my cell phone alarm.
The first day I doubted that I had actually come to another world but human adapt fast. Right away, I opened the map and made sure that nothing was strange. Well, even if there was something wrong with the dungeon or there was an invasion the alarm would sound. But after all, I still worry about things.
635 DP
Oh, It increased more than I thought. The three guys I captured yesterday in the dungeon didn't have the guardians.h.i.+p apply to them so every hour their MP was absorbed and changed to DP. The women too weren't put under the guardians.h.i.+p immmediately so they too gave the dungeon about 1-2 hrs worth of MP.
If there's a light battle or a battle without any humans, then I'm not to be alerted when I'm sleeping as long its judged that it can be handled properly.
Well, disregarding that, if I think about it, every hour 1% of the MP of the prisoners is absorbed.
Having prisoners with MP in the thousands is indeed delicious.
Let me think about using this path later...For now. lets eat breakfast quickly and get information from the two girls.
After eating my fill, I went to their room with a notepad and a ballpen since ofcourse a PC would only cause confusion.
I could've bought a map with the "Soko h.o.r.e Wan Wan" but it was a whopping 10,000 DP.
Thinking about various things, I arrived where the girls were.
[Good morning. How are you feeling today?]
[Thank you for asking. We feel fine.]
[Is that so, Miss Oriel was it, are you also alright?]
[Ah, there's no problem...Yesterday, I was impolite. Because of the circ.u.mstances I was overly antagonistic.]
Oriel apologized a little awkwardly.
[No, Please don't mind. So, about our discussion...is it fine for you to give some information?]
[Yes, we don't mind. But, Yuki-san are you really a dungeon master. We aren't doubting you but you are completely different from the stories we have heard about dungeon masters.]
[Please excuse me but I don't understand what those dungeon masters that Herge-sama speaks of are like]
[What do you mean by that?]
[I was...]
[Please wait a second, I don't mind if you speak normally. (he was speaking formally the whole time)]
[If that is so, I will take take you up on that offer. When I woke up I was suddenly made a manager of this dungeon or as you would say master.]
After that I started telling them a story built on lies. I didn't know what the name of this continent was, and the place where I was from didn't have dungeons. Before I came to live in this dungeon, I was a normal person living in a city. (In a way he's not lying)
But, I intuitively understood that I was connected with the dungeon core here and that if anything happened to it, something bad would also happen to me. Although I lost my bearings, for the time being I protected this dungeon while trying to find people to talk to...
I guess it just kept coming out. Well most of it wasn't a lie just with slight differences in meaning.
[So that's what happened, Something like that]
[Ah, you might not believe me but please understand. I was also confused in the begining.]
[No, I trust Yuki-san's actions. What do you think Oriel?]
[It makes sense. Besides there's no point in deceiving us here.]
[Alright, well is it alright if I ask you a few things.]
[Yes no problem.]
And so, I asked about the information that I needed right now.
From now on, I started recording the question and anwer in a itemized list.
Dungeon administrator...Called Dungeon Master...When a dungeon is finished, a suppression party is immediately dispatched, It becomes a place for surveillance by adventurers and a familiar training ground for knights. The dungeon is also dangerous and the only safe place in a dungeon would be where the core is located. If the monsters are strong enough to be used as training partners then the dungeon isn't captured immediately.
Also, a dungeon that has a dungeon master like me, is a.s.signed the highest of level of danger, It's been recorded up to now that 12 of these were found. Each time one was found, the country would send a company made up of its imperial guard to subjugate it. But in 2 instances there were dungeons that were strong enough to swallow a Maoh (demon king) and a powerful country back in those days.
A hero...as I thought they seem to exist, there seem to be heroes that rise from people of this world and that there have been a number of these heroes that have lived and died in these world. But even among them the heroes that come from another world are granted extraordinarily powerful skills suited for combat. s.h.i.+t, after all they have other world summoning here.
Maoh....that too is according to the template. The king that rules the demons (mazoku) and apparitions (mamono). Well my definition is vague so I attached the definitions of this world. Well like there would be demon king who would just come out and say "show me your skills, ore ga maoh da (i am the demon king)". Right now there seem to be two Demon kings on this continent. I will think of their names if I ever meet them.
Regarding this continent...I can't understand its size based just on the conversation but the current location the dungeon is at is part of the country of Roch.e.l.le. 15 km from here there seems to be a city. "s.h.i.+t! Isn't 15 km too close?" I panicked thinking that but I guess this is a different world. There are no cars in this world and travel is by horses. Also outside the city there are a lot of mamono so travel is made more difficult. I guess Luna was right in situating me in this location.
Regarding the country of Roch.e.l.le...It's said to be one of the five top nations in the continent. It said to be extremely powerful country that's not looked down upon by others. Right now its in the middle of a struggle with another country with regards to territory. I felt that there was some exageration since in front of me there was the country's princess.
I don't know if she would tell me the situation regarding the country's defence but when I asked her the population of the capital she gave the answer easily. [200,000 people reside in the flouris.h.i.+ng capital and with benevolent king will continue to increase.]
200,000 people huh...As I thought, its the level of medieval Europe.
Regarding race...Like Luna said, those with animal ears attached are the beast race, the elves, the human race, and there are also those who are halves.
Well I recieved various information from them, gradually as I thought that I was getting hungry, it became 12 o'clock in the afternoon.
[Sorry for taking such a long time. Shall I prepare lunch?]
