Day 65 Nighttime, Capital, the Souvenir Store, the Orphanage Branch
Poor private guards, who are sent one after another from the aristocratic district, seem to have gone missing, every single one.
That mustve been scary, that mustve been terrifying, going through that endless pseudo Fushimi Inari-taishas line of torii as each time they walk through a narrow pass, their comrades would vanish. That mustve been dreadful.
And no matter if they press forward or turn back, they find themselves unable to escape the endless path of torii continuing both ways The path that continues until there is no one left.
Yeah, so basically, the ground here is like a conveyor belt. In truth, they arent moving anywhere, you know? Well, there are some illusions in the mix as well? Sort of?
No one can enter the slums without authorization now. I distributed Ring of the Poor to the people from the slums, but others need either authorization or a guidance to enter. Yup, Im not letting anyone in, alright?
I wont allow anyone to steal or plunder anything from here anymore, from today on this is the rip-off district. From now on it is the slums that are going to rip others off.
By the way Ring of the Poor are splendid magic stone rings with PoW SpE DeX 10% Up and even +DEF, but for some reason the girls got angry? I got lectured for it. Hm, I wonder what displeased them?
However The barrier devices fuel consumption is too poor. Its fine while Im supplying it with mana, but trying to cover it with magic stones will result in huge losses. Looks like it needs optimization, fuel economy, and miniaturization improvements.
And the only way to enter the slums without the ring is through a straight path leading to this Souvenir Store, Sort of Orphanage Branch Office? Kind of?. The long long road adorned by torii.
The Souvenir Store is the only destination one can reach through it, with stepping out of the torii meaning you go missing.
The customers that visit outside of working hours will be turned away. Missing, and spirited away.
Naturally, since they are spirited away, its as good as proven that its the Old Farts responsibility and Ive done nothing wrong, innocent and blameless, case open and closed, bang bang, speaking of which, Id like to have bang bang chicken but the lack of ingredients for Chinese dishes is troubling.
Yeah, the way to mapo tofu promises to be quite steep.
They are here again?Ah, he vanished!Where did the ones that disappeared just now go?Going through those torii at night is spooky, isnt it~? But Spirited away, huh.
Wasnt someone making traps there?Yeah, there are tons of manmade contraptions, but all of the responsibility is shifted to the god.U//ppTodatd fr//m n/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\\/m
In the spaces between the endlessly continuing torii I have placed solemn and oppressive-looking giant statues of twelve arhats! And putting the opponents on guard against them, I drop intruders into pitfalls.
Yeah, the basements are accumulating middle-aged men at an amazing speed. Im actually wondering how I should clean that up. Since its middle-aged men we are talking about, its either incineration or dumping them into the white room.
But why is this world constantly suffering from middle-aged men outbreaks? Why are the middle-aged men of this world all flocking to me? When I discussed this with the Geeks, it seemed that most of the characters in stories of this sort are supposed to be cute girls?
But here, its nothing but a constant flow of middle-aged men, no matter how many I burn or drown.
It will soon push an easily irritable highschool boy into accelerating development of the middle-aged men annihilation weapon. I wonder, what is actually middle-aged mens weakness? Aunties? No, anything but that!
Mass importing aunties for the sake of middle-aged men annihilation will eventually lead to outbreak of veteran maidens war that will doom the world. Thats right, its the ultimate weapon capable of destroying the world, which must never be used.
Onii-chan, good night.
Yeah, sleep well, or rather, children grow in their sleep? So hurry up and go to bed? Kind of? But make sure to avoid tragic nonexistent development despite lots of sleep like a certain Shrimp, alright?
Good night? Sort of?
Looks like the older kids are going to sleep as well Well, bigger kids? I mean, almost all of the kids here are of unknown age. From what I see, even older kids look a bit older than ten, but since they are lacking in nutrition, their growth is likely delayed.
Well, as long as they are lively and healthy it doesnt really matter. I mean, we do have an overly energetic little thing who, despite eating more than enough, is so delayed in growth that it seems to be going in reverse, so it should be fine.
Apparently, the girls are going to teach the children while also operating the store. Theyll overtake the educational standards of this world in an instant.
I mean, being able to properly identify someone by looking at the chest while having no idea who they are while looking at their face is a bit Affection Rating might go below the possible lower limit of detection!
Let me just say this before we start Please, dont bite my head, alright? There is no head wound blood fountain service available, okay? Or rather, isnt making someone offer service while biting their head is just coercion? So please dont go crunch on me?
Garigari-kun? Garigari Leader?
We told you we arent biting! In the first place, have we ever gone to crunch you even once!?! Also, there wont be Evolution into something Leader, we arent Bitches, but we arent Garigari-kun either!
Oh no, I cant even tell who is saying what! Everyone has above average height, long legs, and small faces, basically, built like barbies.
And with them constantly changing hairstyles, swapping clothes between five of them, experimenting with outfits, and going crunch, its absolutely impossible to tell them apart! The difficulty is on the level of a high difficulty trick question in a shuffle quiz.
Just when I thought that it might get easier to identify them as they stopped using makeup, it turns out that even their facial features are similar! Moreover, it seems they still have some cosmetics left, which they seem to have very lightly applied, once again changing the feel to their appearance.
Should I just attach B, C, D tags to them already?
And even their bust sizes were exactly the same! If a doppelganger appeared in the mix no one would be able to tell whose doppel it is, making their mimicry completely redundant, leading to doppelganger bullying issue! But sensations that comes from Evil Hands seem to differ?
Although the size is roughly the same, the firmness and elasticity are different. And even with the same size, the shapes and even weight are different? Looks like bra making has a lot of depth to it, but should a highschool boy be stepping into those depths though?
But why am I pursuing the essence of the brassiere path in another world? Yeah, reaching that point always weirds out?
Kya!Ah!Mmmm!!
Why are you showing individuality here when even your lines are the same?! Does that mean that I have to measure someones chest with Evil Hands to identify them? Thats actually an actual criminal act that will get one arrested even if no one sues?!
Ha!Aah!!Uuum!
Bitch D is the only one using 4 letters No, such a way of telling them apart wont do any good. Like, the moment I try it many things will be in threat!
Im so tired of retorting to this that it feels like my retorting ability is being put to a test, but even so, I will say it!
Or rather, Armored Pres-san, forget making gaps between fingers, you are covering my mouth while giving full FREEDOM to the eyes! Why is the supposed blindfold covering my mouth, I can see everything even with my mouth covered. Obviously. Id be shocked if I couldnt see because my eyes got covered!
Ah, Im tired of retorting to this!
Alright, its done They told me that it sometimes hurts because the tips are rubbing, so I tried changing the weaving for that area, but it seems there is a need to develop a new material. There is no end to new issues to resolve. But tips, they say The tips.
Alright, its time for the bottom (shorts) now, so please, cover my eyes? Thats the nose, okay? No, you are definitely doing this on purpose, I mean, there is no way to mistake a nose for eyes? You can instantly tell the difference the moment you touch it?
And she is going tehepero!
As expected, one cant underestimate the Ex-Dungeon Emperor.
Well, covering eyes is sort of too late by now? The girls are sort of twitching?
Since bottoms (shorts) are done too, you can go back? Yeah, not happening, as expected.
(((Twitch-Twitch)))
I wonder how Slime-san is doing?
But even the way they went down is the same. With things being like this, I dont think Ill ever be able to tell them apart. There are slight differences to their twitching and trembling, but as expected, remembering them by the way they are twitching would be a problem?
Anyway Lets put underwear and clothes on them.
