プロローグ 交渉 (Part2)
"What are you saying? Japan is a civilization that accepts, isn't it? What, are you planning to force your way over there and build Japanese castles everywhere?"
"Understood. So that's it. On a global scale, I'd definitely be swept away, but for me personally to be active and promote the development of Alouret's civilization is within acceptable limits, then?"
"That's right. Ultimately, it would be good if you could publicly announce the purpose of dungeon management and make it widely understood. Though it's almost impossible."
That's impossible. It's something beyond unifying the world's ideologies.
It's like publicly telling a certain number of humans and monsters to die.
A sacrifice demand would definitely make one an enemy of the world.
No, if I just circulate magic power, then I just need to designate living places for the world's creatures.
No matter how you look at it, that's a tyrant.
"Well, you understand a lot now, don't you? It's more efficient to operate a circulatory organ called a dungeon."
"Okay, I understand the talk now. But what about my situation? Will my family forget me? And besides, I can't dig a dungeon if I go over there with just my body."
Honestly, since it's a forced transfer, I've pretty much given up on the family matter. The rest is about handing over my work. My seniors, juniors, and clients will be greatly inconvenienced...
"Family and work relationships... in other words, your social connections will be erased and corrected as if they never existed. Things will continue to move smoothly, so it's fine. Also, you're not seriously planning to dig it yourself, are you? We'll give you skills and such here. Since this is a forced transfer from our side, we can grant you anything within acceptable limits, other than travel to and from Earth."
Oh... within acceptable limits, huh...
"Then an RX-7—" "No, what, do you want to fight a One Year War?"
Tch, why does she know about anime from my world?
"Then a White Gri—" "Are you going to crush nations and start corporate wars?"
She even knows about games?!
"Well, let's make those kinds of things rewards for when dungeon management succeeds. Also, we'll make it so you can acquire items from this world through something like mail order."
Huh, if I succeed, I can ride Mobile Suits and Armored Cores?! Seriously?!
I was excited, but I can't do anything without getting the promised initial cheat. I'd rather not just go there and die immediately.
"Then are firearms out? Like, with personal authentication so others can't use them?"
"No, that's also only after you can properly manage the dungeon. You know what would happen if you used an 'OOPArt' for Alouret before you're used to the other side, right?"
"Overconfidence and the world's balance would collapse, right? But, if I use it for defense, wouldn't that be okay?"
"The answer is no. The use of weapons unique to Earth, or rather, weapons that are ahead of their civilization, will be prohibited at first. Please thoroughly learn dungeon management. So, do you have any requests?"
"After denying everything, what are you even saying? ...Fine, give me a ring or something that grants instant death evasion and simultaneous escape to a safe zone. This is really tough."
"Oh, is that all you want? It only avoids instant death, you know? If you're severely injured, you might not be saved."
"Then, if I ask for an effect that instantly fully heals me, will you add it?"
"No, I won't. That's no different from immortality, is it? Well, I'll consider that if management goes well."
Tch, this is more troublesome than I expected. No cheats for not dying, huh... Then.
"Understood. I want a skill or item that can ensure the safety of my companions and subordinates, without restrictions."
"Ensuring safety, huh. I see, you've thought this through. It's a convenient tool depending on how it's used. This should be within acceptable limits. Okay, fine."
Alright, I managed that. It's not making them immortal. It's "ensuring" their "safety." Well, depending on how it's used...
"The explanations and negotiations are mostly over... Now, let's go to Alouret and make the fine adjustments."
Luna extends her hand towards him. Ah, this is the end of my struggle. It can't be helped. I'll just have to somehow aim for a White Gri—.
