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.

It's like, "You're not really going to do this dungeon with me, are you? If they don't come at all, they won't come at all. I'm bored to death.

No one tries to hide their frustration at that figure.

The dungeon strengthening plan proposed by the demon king.

There was no one to argue with that, but with the results of the first year, their expectations had been lowered and they were not happy.

They had expected more dungeons to be conquered.

And I even expected them to be strengthened with new ideas that they didn't have.

And here we are.

You can't blame them for being disappointed, except for a few.

It may not be a bad thing to say, but this is the birthplace of the brave.

I expected to find a lot of strongmen, and this is what I got when I opened the box.

I don't think we'll be able to improve our numbers by adding more humans to the mix. The dungeon test doesn't come for free either.

Retirees who retire after completing their training.

Those who took on the dungeon and fell into the ideal.

Those who faltered along the way and walked away.

The reasons are various, but the king of the giants, who has received reports of unbelievable scenes for his brave men, complains bitterly about the newcomers who came in this time.

It may sound like a manpower tactic, but the idea is to compensate for lack of quality with quantity.

The more you have, the more money you have to spend.

Fearing this, the Giant King complains bitterly.

I know..." "I know. I won't make the same mistake without a plan.

You're going to be able to find out if you are going to be able to get a good deal more than you'd like.

You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

The dungeon test is a state-run business.

It's taxpayer-funded business, so to speak.

Although it calls itself a corporation, this company is itself a state-owned enterprise.

Its capital is taxpayer money, which it uses to trade within Japan, making an appearance and conducting dungeon tests.

The amount of money being spent on that is more than you can spend in your lifetime, even if you are a long-lived person.

Hence, their actions are cautious.

I have reviewed the teaching and support for the testers and made improvements, but if it needs to be reviewed in the future, I will change it each time, and in addition, I will start to raise the awareness of the testers. To you, Giant King--

I know, I have already informed my men about the armor. They will be delivered on time.

The future of the nation is at stake in this work.

That's why everyone here is so serious.

Please, now, regarding the upcoming changes in the dungeon...

What will be discussed here is how the budgets of the armies and materiel will fluctuate in the future.

There has been a civil war and the current demon king's army is not at its best.

Moreover, we have not been able to replenish the missing generals, which also hurts us.

In other words, the strength of a division of the demon king's army is malfunctioning.

That work has been given to them and they are moving even slower.

We have been meeting like this and trying to improve our movement, but still it's difficult to get results.

"Speaking of which, in all the excitement, I forgot to mention that the wolverine's replacement has been decided. Honestly, it's time to do something about the corruption in the army that he was ruling.

Still, we have to do something about it, and that's the role of those in higher positions.

You'll be able to get a rough idea of the improvements in the dungeon, when suddenly Baskar, as if remembering, dropped the subject.

"It's not something you can't help but say, dragon king. They are a flock that has lost its chief to unite. If you insinuate, it will lead to internal interference and more trouble.

With the fall of the wolverine king, the unity of the tribe known as the Mushinito tribe is declining.

Reports say there's even a clash between the tribes.

The report says there's a clash between the tribes, and the lack of cohesion makes it impossible to use their power to make sense of it, so Lunaria tries to let Baskar's story slide.

You'll be able to find a good one at my place to head that up.

But if you just read the air and stop there, then you won't be twisted so much, Baskar suggests with a laugh to add fuel to the fire.

"Stop, you idiot, you're going to complicate things. The general's position is vacant, but that doesn't help if we don't have the right person for the job.

With a hand on her forehead to stifle her headache, Evvia tries to join Lunaria to end the conversation, but he still won't stop.

"Hey, Onion, there's a good guy in you and this guy, what's wrong with him?

"Oh? Kidan guy? He said he was going to retrain himself after his loss to Jiro, and kicked off the general's story.

Keke Keke, that's when the humans beat me. That guy, I forgot.

"Oh? What's that laugh, are you trying to pick a fight?

If you buy it, I'll sell it to you?

"Don't do it, you idiots!

You can't just jump from one story to the next, and since most of it is over, Evvia starts to think about closing the conversation for today.

You can't put a person who doesn't have the ability at the top, but you can't just leave them there.

There are only a few in the demon king's army who can hold the rank of general.

If there was such a person, the conversation would have progressed more smoothly and would not have even been discussed.

"Keke Keke, well, I'm surprised that person might be in this place at some point.

Baskar's joke was mostly snickering as he ignored the fact that Evvia was thinking about such things.

"Hmm, that would be interesting.

"Affirmation, the dragon king was the funniest joke of the day

"That guy, huh, that would be interesting.

"Kaka Kaka, I rather think I'm the harbinger of a cataclysmic event.

".........

The reactions of the generals were mixed.

I was a little concerned that no one would dismiss it as improbable, but I never pointed it out.

'Keke, yeah, it would be interesting to see that happen.

Yes, he was.

After all, this company is a meritocracy, and anything can happen.
