274 268 たまに自分の職務を忘れそうになる。 (1/2)

Weapons, weapons, weapons, weapons.

A pile of weapons as far as the eye can see, and a checklist of paperwork on a long table that looks awfully awkward by comparison.

”Hands, are you sure you want to check this?

You're the only decent vanguard in the dungeon tester, you're from a different country than Japan, right?　We've been doing some tweaking on our end to accommodate it. You'll want to experiment.

That's why there are so many of them: ......

The amount of armor on the transport casters proves that the job I've taken on from Evvia is even more troublesome than I imagined.

I can no longer do anything but laugh as Hans, the manager of the familiar weapon shop, laughs and says there's more to come.

It's often said that you can only laugh when times are tough, but this is not funny.

I've never used a truncheon.

Oh, yeah, that's pretty good. All you have to do is attack me and check me out.

Well, then.

I held it in my hand, thinking it was a nunchaku, but it was a trident, as it was divided into three parts.

I didn't know what to do with it when I saw the weapon hanging down, so I just swung it around like in a kung fu movie, but I knew it wasn't for me.

There are other weapons such as the Jamadahar, the iron fan, the chakram, the shorthand, and the war hammer, which are not as bad as they could be, and there are also some strange shaped weapons here and there that you might want to complain about, ”Who would use it?

A chainsaw is not a weapon.

”?　I've heard that some people over here are wielding it and fighting it.

”Part of it, part of it. And it's not a realistic one, either. That's... No, you don't want a guy wielding a weapon like this to capture a dungeon.

It's going to be fun. First of all, you don't think the weapons we make are combat ready?

You don't think so?　Like sharpness.

”Ow!　I'll shave off the scales of a lower class dragon!

”It's not for beginners at that point, it's just that it's not made by Giant.

I held the chainsaw in my hand, and I found that it didn't run on gasoline like the ones on earth, but it seemed to work by pouring magic power into the magic stone, and I wondered if my magic power would be better than this one.　The blade attaches to the chain in a smooth motion that makes you think that you're going to be able to turn.

It's frustratingly easier to use than the three-jointed staff I just saw when I tried it out.

It is beautifully balanced and well thought out for the user.

What's the price, by the way?

One bottle of it is a million and two.

Dismissed, a**h*le.

”What a fool!　It's the cheapest of the prototypes!　And I made it because they say it's the most famous weapon in your world!

”High price, jerk!　Besides, it's definitely a rip-off of a movie or something!

”No, on the Internet.

Where's the information?

The owner of this store has been a friend of mine for some time now, but the word ”dead weight” is still missing from my mind.

Among the items to be checked, there is a case of splashing on price.

The future is uncertain.

And then?　Why should I test?　It's not just a matter of pretending, is it?

Oh, I made a target for the hardest monster in every level of every dungeon over there. Check it out.

Thanks for being so decent. I thought I'd just be fighting some random monster.

There's never enough time to do that.

It must be.

I'm glad that the method is decent, aside from the weapon content.

But if the weapons are good, how do you inspect the armor?

By the way, how do you inspect the armor?

”Huh?　Of course you're going to be attacked when you try it on.

Are you kidding me?

”I'm just kidding!　I'm not going to do that. Well, you'll have to try it on and see if it's comfortable for you.

I can't just sit around chatting with them, commenting to myself that sometimes your jokes don't sound like jokes.

After motioning to Hands to begin, I began to flex and unwind, then took my weapon.

To be honest, if you give me a weapon that was designed to be cut, I can cut most things.

Especially if it's only as strong as the monsters that appear near the entrance of the dungeon.

That's why.

Hmmm...this is about as good as it gets.

No, no, that target is at least as strong as the Iron Golem!

I've been told that it's not possible for you to cut it off, but from my point of view, it's only because it was cut off that I cut it off.

However, unlike the mineral tree, it was a weapon prepared for beginners, so its sharpness was not so great.

It was hard to cut.

”This Shamshir is for beginners, right?　Any more and it's too fine indeed.

It's not that bad.

This is a curved sword with a sleeved edge that can be swung with one hand.

It is light to the touch and has a decent cutting edge.

It's not too bad to use.

I've been using familiar long swords and stabbing weapons such as estok, short daggers, swords and swords to test them.

It's just cutting, so each task is short, but it takes longer than expected because it has to be repeated.

I've started at eight o'clock in the morning, but it's almost noon.

In two or three minutes, you will take a lunch break.

Nevertheless, you are still less than halfway through the checklist.

It's going to take longer than expected and you're about to reach for the plastic bottle on the long table to rehydrate.

Bravo!　Wonderful!　That's a technique called zan tetsu for Japanese samurai?

An unknown voice resounds in the space where no one is supposed to be present.

I wondered what was going on, and when I looked at the source of the voice, I found a group of visitors at the entrance of the training facility.

It wasn't another race like the ones in the Demon King's army, but a human group.

One of them was clapping and shouting happy thoughts.

From a distance, he looked Italian?

Around us we see white people, black people, yellow people like us and Japan.

There are about 20 people in the room, with about the same ratio of men to women.

The difference in body size is still different from that of the Japanese simply because they are foreign.

There are three male demons, a vampire, and a female giant guide, as far as I can see.

So that's the second generation.

I had heard that the induction ceremony was still some time away, but did you get there early?　There is no need to get involved, thinking that there is no need to engage poorly.

I'll just say a quick word and go back to my weapons test.

If you're here, it's not my problem, as long as you're here with permission and it's company-free, then it's not my problem.

And so we go through the various weapon tests.

”Hey Hans, you still here, what's going on?

Enough is enough to watch.

And yet the second group of students has not left the place.

No, it seems the testers are freaking out.
