4 - Episode 3 How do you get revenge on Sasha, Elf?

--Time goes back a bit.

A few days after finishing the revenge against the beast race, Garou.

We were gathered in my office, which had been remodeled from the "abyss.

I was sitting alone in my seat, while my LV Four-Nine (9999) friends stood in front of me. --Mei the "Seeker's Maid" with black hair in a ponytail and a maid outfit, Aoyuki the "Genius Monster Tamer" who is short and wears a nekomimi hoodie, Ellie the "Forbidden Witch" with blond hair tied in two and dressed in a gothic lolita outfit, and Mei the "Witch of the Red Eye" with red eyes. He turns to Nazna, the "True Ancestral Vampire Knight" with silver hair and in armor.

Now that we have successfully avenged Garou, our next plan is to gather information.

Although he had made such a big show of it against Garou, it would be foolish to suddenly launch a war against the world without thinking.

First of all, we needed to gather information on how much strength the other side had.

Of course, we would not forget our revenge. But if I neglected to gather information, I would be forced to take revenge on the remaining four, find out information about "Master," why I was almost killed, and who destroyed my hometown--in the worst case scenario, I might be defeated without being able to do anything.

Ellie, with her beautiful blonde hair tied in two and flowing down her back, wearing a witch's hat and a black gothic Lolita outfit, hangs her head at my comment.

She is a SUR, "Ellie the Forbidden Witch Level 9999.

She is a girl who has mastered all kinds of magic and spiritual arts, and is in charge of directing and planning operations for everyone in her position as second-in-command.

I am sorry," she said. If only I had finished adjusting the 'dungeon core' a little earlier, we might have been able to save the Light God's homeland. ......

It's not Ellie's fault. Rather, the "Abyss" is so large that it takes a long time to conquer it, and the card of transition is not usable at first. ...... It's because there were too many unexpected circumstances.

During the "Gathering of Tribes" period, they talked about "the middle layer of the abyss," but that was still just the surface.

If it were expressed in terms of dungeon hierarchy, the lowest level would be the 100th floor. The place he referred to as the "middle level" was only about 10 floors above the surface.

Moreover, even after conquering the "abyss," it was not possible to move around using the transfer card.

The cause was the "dungeon core.

What is the "dungeon core"?

To explain this, we must first mention the creation myth of this world.

At first, the world was a black vortex of nothingness and sludge.

When the goddess shone her light on it, continents were formed and six species were born.

The six species were the human race, the beast race, the dragon race, the elf race, the dwarf race, and the demon race.

The lees that separated from the black vortex solidified to form the evil gods.

The evil goddess loved the goddess and wanted to make her her own, but the earth blocked her way and she could not come out.

So, through a dark hole (generally considered a metaphor for a dungeon), the evil goddess spits out demons created by her own body onto the earth.

He decided to pile up the demons and reach out to the goddess.

The race (human), beast race, dragon race (dragonneut), elf race, dwarf race, and demon race created from the Goddess' light fight against the demons to protect her.

The demons try to eliminate the human, beast, dragon, elf, dwarf, and demon races that stand in their way.

This battle has continued to the present day.

These are the creation myths that created this world.

Demons become stronger at night because the power of the evil gods underground is strengthened.

It is said that the further underground you go, the stronger the demons become, because they get closer to the power of the evil gods.

I have been thinking of turning "The Abyss" into our own base for a long time.

It is called "The Abyss," the world's largest, strongest, and worst dungeon, and it is extremely difficult to reach the deepest part of the dungeon.

On the other hand, it is not difficult for us to go back and forth between the surface and the basement by using the power of the "SSR, Transition" card that comes out of the "Infinite Gacha" (Gift).

However, there were numerous problems in implementing my idea.

First of all, I did not understand what a "dungeon core" was.

It is generally said that the "dungeon core" is a mass of the evil god's power or a part of his life.

If the dungeon core is destroyed, the dungeon stops. It is also believed that the person who destroys it gains power and can weaken the power of the evil god.

After we gathered everyone's and our own power and conquered the "abyss," Ellie, the "forbidden witch" who is the most knowledgeable about magic among us, investigated the dungeon core of the "abyss," but it was not something she could understand.

According to Ellie, the dungeon core sucks up the energy and magic of the planet we are on and somehow forms a dungeon, attracts minerals and materials to create treasure chests and items, produces demons, creates traps, and creates a wide variety of environments - a world. The

Just 'why are they able to do that?'" was not known even to Ellie herself. If she, who knew so much about magic, didn't understand it, there was nothing for my staff to understand.

In the end, through Ellie's efforts, we narrowed it down to maintaining the dungeon at a minimum, somehow managed to fool the transfer impediment, and succeeded in turning the dungeon into a fortress.

In the process, the dungeon stopped producing items and demons, and I managed to compensate for this by using my gift, "Infinite Gacha".

Then, about half a year ago, when I was finally able to go outside and went to check on my hometown, I found that it had been destroyed.

Whether it was demons or bandits that destroyed my village--if they were the ones who tried to kill me just in case I turned out not to be "Master," it is quite possible that they used various means to reach out to my hometown, using demons and bandits as their allies. Even if the culprits were the state, they would only pay for what they have done to my family and destroyed my hometown."

Ahh!

Mei and the others standing in front of me turn pale.

It seems that my killing spirit has overflowed and affected them as well.

The air in the Oval Office physically creaks with the pressure of my killing spirit.

'Phew. ......'

Calm your mind.

Letting my anger get the better of me does not mean I can identify the culprit.

For now, we still have to gather information.

Along with gathering information, I'm also thinking about my next target for revenge. My next avenging target is Sasha, an elf."

Sasha, a former member of the "Gathering of Tribes," is an elf species. She deceived me, a human, mocked me for being stupid, and finally tried to kill me with her own hands.

At this statement, the other girls, except for Mei, changed the color of their eyes and came forward.

Light God!　If you want to catch a traitorous elf like you did with Garou, then by all means leave the next one to me!

No, I'll do the job!

Nyah!"

I appreciated everyone's motivation, but I shook my head.

I'm glad you guys are willing to do this, but I'm not going to do what I did with Garou," he said. In his case, there was revenge, but we used May as bait to fish him out because he confirmed our strength, he was from the least powerful beast nation except for his race, and he was the easiest to fish out of the five avenging opponents."

From the fighting of Garou and the others and his reactions, he was able to grasp our power.

Even if we were dealing with the world, I had a feeling that our power would be enough.

But that doesn't mean we were stupid enough to fight the world without gathering information.

Sasha is difficult to bring to the "abyss" like Garou. Besides, it would be boring to take revenge in the same way he did, wouldn't it?　I would love for her to experience the same despair I did."

The same despair as Mr. Wright?"

May tilts her head.

Her long black ponytail wagged like a tail.

I answer her question with a smiling, angelic smile.

According to my men who are gathering information on the ground, Sasha is about to wed her fiancé, the deputy knight commander, who is related to the royal family. She is at the height of her happiness, and as a former party member, I think we need to take revenge (celebration) in a big way.

I think of my revenge against Sasha and I make a big smile that I know I'm going to get.

So I think of this way of revenge (celebration) for her.

I tell May and the others about my revenge plan for Sasha.

After listening to the whole story, Ellie was the first to raise her hands in applause.

It's a wonderful idea!　That's the Light God!　But if you leave it to me, I can promise you a result even closer to the Light God's wishes.

Hey, ......, I'd love to hear what you have to say."

Yes!　Well, then--"

Ellie modifies my plan that I just heard and presents a new revenge plan.

It was a plan that followed my revenge plan, but was closer to what I wanted and had more advantages.

Ellie finishes her explanation.

We haven't worked out the details yet, but I think the general outline is something like this. What do you think, Light God?

Wonderful!"　It's fantastic!　That's Ellie!　It's a better idea than mine!

No, it was only because of the Light God's idea.

When I gave her a compliment without hesitation, Ellie bowed as if she was afraid of me.

In order to carry out this plan, we need the help of the Light God's gift, the Infinite Gacha, and a lot of manpower. I apologize for being so rude, but may I ask for the Light God's help?"

Of course. You can use unlimited supplies, manpower, information, and any other things you need for this project. I authorize it in my name."

Thank you!

When Ellie gets permission, she again takes a deep bow.

When she looks up, she spills a look of triumph to May.

I know that Ellie sees May as a rival, so I pretend not to notice and let it slide.

............"

May herself says nothing.

Aoyuki, who also noticed, only let out a small voice, 'Nya~.

Nazuna was the only one who didn't notice her attitude.

If this plan works, I'm in!　d*mn, I'm on fire!　Ellie!　Get ready to go!

I know, Ochibi!　I'll make sure everything is ready for the Lord of Light as soon as possible, without you telling me to!

The atmosphere almost turned bad, but Nazna's attitude changed the mood.

She is a very important mood-maker," I realized once again.

After a light cough, she gets everyone's attention.

I'm going to put into action one of the information gathering plans I've been working on for some time, the "Adventurer's Plan," until you're ready. Ellie, you do your best for the 'Sasha Revenge Plan. If you need any help, or if you encounter any problems and need advice, please don't hesitate to ask. That's more important.

Thank you.

If you decide to re-register with the guild as an adventurer, Mr. Wright, I hope you will allow me to join you.

When I finished my instructions to Ellie, May immediately appealed to me.

She stimulated the other two to speak up as well.

Nya!

I'm stronger than Mei and Aoyuki!　So, Master!　Please choose me as your partner!"

I'm glad you three feel the same way, but since Ellie will be busy with the mission, May will be in charge of dungeon management. We killed and captured Garou and the others, so there will be a unit coming to search for them. We don't want to draw attention to the 'abyss' just yet, so I want you to kill half the searchers and send half of them home."

Awe, sir. I promise you the highest and best of what Master Wright wishes for you in my maid's work."

With this explanation alone, May understands.

She needs to have half of the search party, including Garou, brutally killed and the other half painfully driven back so that, for the time being, she can advertise like a canary that the world's biggest, strongest, and worst dungeon, "The Abyss," is still dangerous.

Aoyuki, please continue to investigate the virgin forests around the "Nacchi" area. We don't want any dangerous people or demons in the area.

Nya~"

Aoyuki shakes her usual cat-ear hoodie and replies with her approval.

Nazuna--"

She looks at me with her big shining eyes, 'I wonder what kind of job I can entrust her with.

Nazna is the strongest in melee combat, and if you equip her with the highest magic item to prevent magic attacks, she will be the strongest among us.

However, she is too strong to be taken along as an adventurer, and she is not suited for situations that require a flexible approach.

He is a very good mood-maker in the dungeon, but there are some things that people are not suited for.

But I couldn't say "nothing" here.

Nazna is ...... to protect the dungeon while I'm gone. I don't think any of them will make it to the deepest part of the Abyss, but it's always good to be on the lookout just in case.

I'm on it!　Leave it to me, Master!　I'll protect you all!

Nazna responds cheerfully to my instructions.

My fellow adventurers are "UR, level 5000 Golden Knight Gold" as a shield.

If you want to make a name for yourself in this world, the fastest way is to dive into dungeons.

Therefore, it would be appropriate to take along "UR, level 5000 Assassin's Blade Nemmu," who is good at scouting, disarming traps, and detecting enemies.

Thus, the future plan was decided.
