Another side

There is a meeting of managers.

A meeting of middle management, in essence, managers and section chiefs, with the exception of their superiors and subordinates.

This sounds like a secret meeting, but it's really not that kind of meeting.

The people present here are gathered here for a simple exchange of ideas.

There is no hierarchy, and those in the same position sit down to discuss the unknown dungeon test for the umpteenth time.

”Keke Keke. Hey, Kio. How does it feel to have those guys dive just before the deep end?

We were surprised that the time frame was shorter than we had originally planned, but that's all. Everything else was within expectations and we were able to intercept it without any problems.

”Kaka kaka kaka, even though we were attacked to the front of the main building, the Lord is as calm as ever.

Answer: ”Answer: This dungeon is not yet complete, the final defense line is currently being configured, and therefore, the attack on the Immortal King's headquarters is still to come. Therefore, there is no need to hurry.

”You're silent, Kirou. No matter what you say...your place is the one that's been pushed the farthest in. The Onion King and the Immortal King are both stopped near the middle level. Mushiko's idiot went down, but so did the tree king and the giant king. I haven't even made it to the middle level yet.

Don't blame the king. Those things are actively challenging her place. It can't be helped that her progress is faster than other dungeons.

It must be. They showed up at my place, too, and I was reminded of the inadequacy of our current situation, even though it was only a glimpse. The demon king was a true seer.

Except that the people present are all too vicious.

At the round table are the current generals.

The Onion King Rydow.

The Immortal King No Life.

Amiri Mazacraft.

Lunaria the Tree King.

The Giant King Warlock.

Dragon King Bhaskar.

Now that the wolverine has fallen, he's become the Sixth General, but his skills are still strong.

It's not that he's a swindler, but the atmosphere of the place is heavy both physically and mentally.

If a civilian walked in here, he or she would pass out before they could make a turn.

That's how heavy the air is, but the people inside don't seem to care about it.

The same is true of the conversation between the King of Fighters and the Dragon King just now.

That's because this level of conversation won't even amount to a jab.

You're sandwiched between a demon and a dragon, yet the smallest-looking machine doesn't seem to take kindly to you and reaches for the juice that's available.

You can't just take a look at it. You can drink such a sweet drink!

Answer, I've explained many times in the past that the body needs a lot of calories to maintain its capabilities, but forgetting that the dementia has begun?　Dragon King

You'll be able to get a good deal more information about the particulars of the particulars.

It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Then, you can slowly respond and remember to drop a provocation as a souvenir.

You say, ”You ain't f*cked in a while?

”The answer, if you challenge me, I'll be your partner.

At this provocation, the dragon king smiles, but his eyes are filled with emotions other than joy.

The Ki-oh still lazily sips his juice, without dealing with the dangerous smell.

Although the picture is supposed to depict a girl entangled with a Yankee, the girl seems to be more belligerent than the Yankee.

The dragon king smiles even more belligerently at this reaction.

”Don't do it. This is not a place for a fight. Put both the King and the Dragon King at bay!

Well, if you continue to talk for nothing, I'll leave. We still have some work to do to replenish the military equipment lost in the last civil war.

A being in the same position to intervene in it.

Lunaria the Tree King unites the dark elves.

The giant king warlock who unites the giants.

The two of you look at each other as if you're about to fight.

don't look so scary. It's not like I'm a real yakuza either!　Hey Kiki-O.

Affirmation, this degree of greeting among us is like a greeting, rather than a problem to be intimidated by this.

”Kakaka, indeed.

To the beings present here, the physically pressurized air leaking out is like kittens playing with each other.

It's not only the Kite King and the Dragon King who understand this.

Not only the demon king and the immortal king, but also the tree king and the giant king understand this.

”In your case, the problem is that the game goes on too long.

But even if they understood, they could not be convinced.

All of us here are fierce people who can play with the atmosphere of the place, which makes the air shake.

So, it is true that you are worried that they will just play along.

That's why I'm not worried about the damage to the people around her, but about her playing around and neglecting her original story.

So she is also concerned about time loss rather than injury.

If the two people in front of you are playing around, it's a well-known fact that you can't afford to have a meeting, and there is no one to deny her words.

You can't easily create an opportunity for such a time-sensitive entity as the general to meet in one place.

So, not wanting to waste any time, Lunaria looks around with closed eyes and chides you.

”Here you go.

Baskerville shakes his head in frustration, and the King drinks his juice without seeming bothered, and the last person to join the conference room filled with a fast-paced atmosphere.

The head of the Kingsguard, the Demon King's right hand man and a dungeon carrier herself, passes by as a supervisor in the company, Evia Nodis.

'No, I thought you were earlier than expected.

With clattering footsteps and the last empty seat, the meeting begins.

Now, let's get the dungeon test debriefing started. You can see the progress in the report on the monitor in front of you.

Evvia facilitates the meeting as if she were the equal of the generals, but unites them.

Perhaps because of their size, the displays in front of the generals are different sizes, but I wonder how Jiro would react if he saw a modern meeting using Japanese technology.

There's no way to think about it, but Evvia went on with her story.

”Currently, the dungeon test progress rate is much slower than we expected last year. It's about 60% of the planned progress. In addition, the progress has been uneven.

A graph appears on the monitor in front of the generals, showing the progress of improvement and progress of the attack.

It also shows a comparison with each dungeon along with both.

It's a sad story. This is also the number that one party is beating for the most part. That's not something to be happy about.

Affirmation, in addition to the degree of progress said to be made compared to other dungeons, I, the Demon King and the Immortal King said that the rate of progress in these three dungeons is not bad. Still, we are behind schedule.
