Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 115: The Underground Labyrinth Exploration Party

The last match ended, with Benimaru as the champion. With this the rank from 1 to 4 is decided. Come to think of it, it will be necessary to determine official positions and positions. For now, the Four Heavenly Kings (Shitennou) might be good. Speaking of the Four Heavenly Kings, it was Gobuta. 『Kukuku, that person is the weakest of the Four Sky Kings. He is the disgrace of the Four Heavenly Kings! 』Will such a thing be said? It fits so scary. If Gobuta was not in a state of unification with Ranga, there seemed to be a reasonable chance of victory against the high-ranking adventurer party. Oh well, it might be difficult to win against the prepared Gobuta. In addition, the organization seems to have evolved. I think I have to think about the official position. I put it in my mind.

Since the victory ceremony was over, it was time for the Labyrinth Exploration Party. This is only for applicants, but I hope there are many participants if possible. Today Ramiris is also energetic, he is sitting on my shoulder. His face was full of confidence. Veldora who was standing beside me also had a somewhat proud expression. 「Oi, is this safe? Since today is a party of exploration, it is not good to be careless you know? 」「 Fuffufu. Now Aluright ~! [1] Please leave it to me! I'll be operating the safety equipment today. 」「 Kukukku. However, after tomorrow, it might be the day of the awakening of the monstrous labyrinth! 」

Staring at each other's faces, Ramiris and Veldora laughed wickedly. Is that okay? For some reason, I became nervous. Leaving the finishing touch to others may be an unwise thing to do.

After the lunch break ended, the spectators returned to their seats in the Colosseum. The goal was to display the Dungeon, but if 10,000 people went to the Dungeon at once it would become too crowded, and it would also not be a worthy tour. After thinking about it, I asked one party to represent the subjugation of the dungeon. Fortunately, no one seemed to be coming home after lunch break. Maybe to advertise it entirely with this. Myormiles proceeded to the center of the Colosseum, greeting the audience with a microphone in his hand. Then,

「Well then without delay, are there any brave people who want to conquer our famous country Dungeon?」

He shouted . While he screams, we also head to the center of the Colosseum. Ramiris who was still sitting on my shoulder, called out the temporary gate of the Underground Labyrinth in the middle of the Colosseum. 『Ooooo !!』

A commotion rang out, and a calm excitement spread to the audience. By the way, if there is no suitor, it is Masayuki-kun's turn. I can arrange it perfectly. He's waiting on standby for his turn. As for the position of the live broadcast, Souka was the cameraman, Hakusou and Nansou would be his aides. I see! The challenger's appearance would be projected onto a large monitor, this was a plan to let the audience observe the Dungeon safely. It would be a big deal if by any chance the big shot was injured. Because of this, I adopted a plan to let only representatives experience it personally. Again, if no one is interested in entering the Dungeon, it is Masayuki's turn. The problem is planning the experience of death.

However, if the first step to the first floor ended up unreasonable with instant death, then there would be no challengers in the future. Therefore, I want you to do your best reasonably. Since the area is so vast, I don't think they can clean the first floor, but. . . . . This time, I let the helpers (Souka and friends) who would accompany them to hold the [Group Return] item . If there's a problem, they might come back soon. For about 2 hours, Souka will capture the best moment inside so that the audience can enjoy it. Of course, as a souvenir, I also prepared a treasure box with weapons and other items here and there. Did Ramiris, Veldora, and Milim set up any absurd traps or not? This is my only concern since a while ago. 「Hehe, oi Satan Lord-san. We'll reveal your pretense! To show things like a very good Tournament and match, no matter how it impressed us, it won't end well! For those kinds of things, you used some sort of illusion magic, right? This is okay even if you don't answer. Also this labyrinth is just a bluff, we can see through your original color! 」Hn? Somehow did the candidate appear on his own? Easier, right? But it also looks stupid. . . . . . . Apparently the person who fought in this Colosseum was considered some sort of illusion. If you do not have the ability, it is impossible to predict what is happening. Maybe because of that, there are people who just enjoy it as a show and there are some people like this who suspect it is a hallucination or illusion. Or rather, to the people who could follow the match, they looked pale and wanted to believe it was not true. Even though I said they could follow them, they only understood that the fight was on a different dimension, only comprehending to a certain degree. But it doesn't matter. My goal was reached to a certain extent, and the people who came to fight with me should have disappeared once they witnessed the fight. As expected, there were one or two people who could understand this amongst the fighters brought by the important people of each country. It didn't matter if those people were telling the truth to their employer. It was also expected that there would be some people who would not believe their eyes.

Well, when the long-awaited candidate comes out, let's make a request right away.

Since this was only a trial, naturally the "Resurrection Bracelet" was distributed for free. With Ramiris' ability, it is possible to bounce back 10 seconds after dying. After that increase was added, I heard that his ability to undo injuries and pain when death was confirmed. If a High Heal or Full Potion is used, it is possible to revive it on the spot. I gave them tips and explained them so they didn't think it would happen outside of the labyrinth. Assuming some stupid misconception that it is possible to revive even outside, it is not our responsibility. It is very annoying that everything is considered as an excuse from the organizer side. Even in my previous world, it felt like responsibility was overemphasized on the side of the store. For an idiot who breaks the rules and acts with violence. Even if they die, I think they reap what they sow. However, when explanations are insufficient, the responsibility is ours. I took that as a warning; I decided to do things as best I could. 「Huh no death in the labyrinth? Attractively. Then, you over there please die and show me! 」

He tested it on others and not on himself. Oh well, that's probably a natural request. Nansou who was nominated, wore a "Bracelet" while weaning the expression 'what hurts [2]' and entered the Dungeon. At the same time, the challengers also entered. The big thick-skinned man [3], who issued a comment earlier appeared to be the leader, took out an axe. 「Then, please attack. 」

For Souka's words, Nansou slashed when she was about to say 「Wait!」.

「Kieeeeee !!」 Or so, a loud shout sounded, Nansou was slashed many times. Nansou did not counterattack, he only accepted the attack as it was. Are skinheads dangerous? He continued to attack without aiming for the same spot as one attack did not kill him.

Although Nansou's appearance was that of a personified dragon, he was not a human. Since the other party was a monster, he tortured him without restraint. Oh well, his attack was blocked by the Nansou scale, and there was a chance that he did not actually receive any damage. Skinhead was covered with sweat, after he dealt dozens of blows and he finally asked for the support of his friend. A lot of magic and arrows flowed into Nansou, it seemed like he had finally been defeated after about ten minutes had passed. I think I should apologize to Nansou later. After all he was pushed into an unpleasant role. Nansou's defeated body became a particle of light and disappeared. The equipment he wore on his body also turned into similar light objects and disappeared. Such a spectacle was recorded and projected on a large screen in the Colosseum with a crystal ball carried by a helper (Souka and co). And so, at the same time the light particles disappeared, Nansou was revived on the side of the gate while in the middle of the Colosseum.

『Oooo !!』 Shouts of excitement emerged from the spectators. It is troublesome if this is also doubted as a trick, but there is no other way to make them believe other than by experiencing it for themselves. So the challenger was only this adventurer. I thought I had no other choice but to wait until it spread by word of mouth. Even if there was an inquisitive challenger, a cautious person might not try it. After all, exploration begins when the skinhead and his partner reach an agreement.

『Now, let's start Dungeon browsing! An unknown world lies ahead. What awaits beyond this. . . . . . ] Souka's face is projected onto the big screen, and the situation inside is conveyed.

It was made in documentary style. And so, they advanced through the first floor with stones made of stone. I thought that someone would usually draw a map while moving forward, but it seemed like no one was setting up a map. Are they gonna be okay? Although I think there is a cave exploration or something like that even in this world. . . . . . . "Currently, it just leads to the same path! What, isn't this just a crossroads!]" Danna, haven't we been through this road before? "" Basson, this is bad! Looks like this labyrinth is wider than we thought. 」

I soon lost my concern for those people. I've already explained about the size, but it seems they're not listening. Oh well, maybe it was. The worst thing that can happen to them is to come back dead, also the SOS function is included in the bracelet. If you use this function, Trainee-san and the other dryads will appear to save you. Oh well, even though the only thing they did was send you back to the surface by force.

Skinhead's man, his name is Basson, his anxiety and his friend are increasing, their expressions indicate that they do not find this situation amusing. Not good, this is not a problem with the difficulty level. The challenger was too stupid. In that case, I have to prepare a shill [4]. While I regret that, 「Basson-san! There is a room this way !? 」

One of his friends noticed a door.

「Oi, Ramiris. What's in that room? There is no monster room on the first floor, right? Didn't we advertise it well? 」「 Is okay. The challenger was a little overwhelming. . . . No matter what I said, their carelessness up until now was beyond my expectations. But, there was a treasure chest and a monster inside the room. There's no problem!"

Oh well, this is not a dungeon you can conquer in under 2 hours, but the total destruction of the party is something bad for publicity. I look at the picture while excited. One person placed his hand on the door and opened it carefully. Inside was a giant bear. Its alright. Since it was only a C rank monster, it was at a level they could defeat. 「That's monster! A Giant Bear, I will be the bait, you all look forward to the opportunity! 」

Basson jumped into the room and faced the Giant Bear from the front. Then the battle began. His companions who had taken cover from his back launched their attacks one after another, and after a few minutes they finally defeated the Giant Bear. It looks like no one got hurt. However. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

「Oi, do they really need five minutes to defeat one Giant Bear with six people? If they did poorly, this could take about three days for them, just to conquer the first floor. 」「 True, no. . . . . . ? We need to arrange for monsters to also drop groceries. . . . . . 」

Maybe the difficulty of the labyrinth is higher than we think? No, I just want to think that those people are low level. Oh well, the top floor is a big map, only the lowest floor is very similar in size. As there were many traps, the size of the map gradually narrowed. I made it so that they would only be able to clean 10 floors in one week, so it was good that the estimate was higher than the reasonable level I was thinking.

"Otto, the desperate struggle with the Giant Bear is finally over! There seems to be a treasure chest in this room. What is in it. . . . . . 』

Because of Souka's voice, I turned my eyes to the big screen. One of Basson's friends opened the box casually. Oioi, aren't they taking precautions against traps? I've seen better skills in Ellen's professional group before. They were too low level, seeing them made me cringe. About them, in front of my eyes who were used to playing, I could not assume them other than amateurs. Perhaps in this world they were not familiar with the concept of the treasure box within the labyrinth? That's why they can still calmly do something as reckless as that? No, if it was Guido, he would be more vigilant, maybe they didn't have anyone with Thief class skills. Since they were a convoy of bodyguards, perhaps they were not skilled at this. Anyway, 「O, ooo !! Basson-san, this is a sword! 」

All righty! It seems they made it big. 「No, I set it up so that today all events will be successful with my ability, you know?」 Oooh, Veldora! Did you read the situation?

「It's a good decision. If they didn't have a great experience today, people who wanted to come to the labyrinth would be reduced. 」

We nodded together. Basson and his friends looked at the sword in turn and whistled. He likes a sword.

「Alright, everyone! Let's continue with this step! 」

Basson removed his axe and turned it into a sword. Three kobolds appeared, their quick disposal helping to confirm the performance of the sword. Although it was only the lowest level of Kurobee's work, it was probably an excellent sword in their hands. They blindly killed the monsters that came out, and began to move smoothly. And, it seemed that they obtained an incredible amount of Magic Crystals from that monster drop.

"It's nice! Looks like we can make a lot here. 」

So he said to his friend with a happy face. They advanced at such speed steadily. And, that situation was covered by Souka. The audience's eyes were fixed on Basson and his partner's activities. Or rather, they were too immersed with the feeling that they were also participating in the exploration by the extremely interesting battle scenes playing on the big screen. Screams sounded every time a monster appeared. This incredible reaction is interesting. The atmosphere is similar to that when watching a horror movie. It's been two hours now, though,

「Gyaaaaaaa!」 One of Basson's friends fell. It seemed like he had been attacked by a monster in the room. The monster in the room was a single Skeleton. He prepared his bow and shot the person who entered the room. The defeated person became a particle of light and disappeared after his forehead was pierced by an arrow. Most importantly, they can experience death at the right time. The skeleton was immediately defeated by the remaining 5 people. This might be the right time. They have enough experience. Since there was quite a lot of tension, then they were just the right challengers.

『As soon as the experience time will end! A victim also appears, let's get back from here! 』

Souka who noticed the signal from my mind stated so. They gathered the treasure chests in the room and returned. They activated the ability of the bracelet. Since this was a trial, they would not be able to return the bracelet. Their gifts were the various articles they had obtained from the treasure chests. They appeared beside the temporary gate in the middle of the Colosseum, 「Can't be trusted !! Are you really coming back to life? 」「 Ah, I thought it was the end for me, but instantly the pain was gone and I was safe too! 」「 Really ?? Then, you don't have a headache? 」

No no, from the start you guys have been making me dizzy. You guys really didn't take precautions for the traps, so it's impossible for you to surpass the second floor where the traps have been set. I wanted a tsukomi like that, but I stopped myself strongly from doing so. "How about that? Can you enjoy it? The basement will officially open tomorrow. If you're interested, I'd like you to challenge him at all costs! 」

I gave my final speech, and the Underground Labyrinth Exploration Party also ended safely. The best part of this is the feeling of the audience. The outcome of the tournament was very interesting but they were able to receive a close impression of the personal experience within the maze of images. So in this way my inauguration as a Demon King and the opening of the Monster Country Tempest that lasted for several days finally reached its conclusion peacefully.

That night on the same day, again, we had a big party for our sponsors. The goal is to maintain a good impression. So, to hold the event without any problems is a huge success, I can't wait for the response they will give starting tomorrow. I pray that it continues as planned. And the night grew old while I thought about tomorrow.
