Chapter 135.1

Determination

With this and that, a week passed, and the world got engulfed in flames. Yes, it was like a seven-day fire. However, only Goblins were spreading the fire, so civilization didn't completely collapse. So, with this and that, it is what it is.

Specifically, during this week, I occupied the balcony of the provisions house and devoted myself to making suits. How the monster's exoskeleton gradually melted and softened when infused with magic power was fascinating, like making candy. Since Ruu and Serai-san frequently asked various questions, I recommended them to try meditation. Even if they asked, "How can you do such a thing?" I couldn't explain the reasoning behind it. I was an otaku familiar with things like magic and monsters from games and anime. Since entering my refrigerator dungeon, I have explored spiritual approaches to enhance my abilities.

To increase my luck, I listened to [A sacred frequency that purifies the heart and brings good fortune just by listening while sleeping] and meditated before sleeping. So, using the newly acquired skill [Acid] for the first time was activated without a problem. However, I learned that using skills required consuming magic power. Well, maybe I already knew that. Anyway, magic power was refined from mental energy, elevating it. In this process, there was an intermediate state, neither mental energy nor magic power, called Aura. In other words, by further enhancing the aura, it could be transformed into magic power. So, it came down to [Using skills requires magic power as a prerequisite and magic power must get refined from mental energy].

So, I guided them and encouraged meditation. Serai-san, who had a nonchalant attitude when observing my meditation while living together, finally understood the importance of my meditation when she saw the hard monster exoskeleton melting like candy and witnessed me leaping from the ground to the third-floor window or encountering a pixie queen.

Despite the cold wind outside, three beautiful college girls sat on a warm balcony, meditating together.

Ruu, with her inherent seriousness, listened earnestly to my explanation and improved the fastest. She was indeed a straightforward and good girl. However, Serai-san's concentration was somewhat scattered.

Nina-san, who had been bedridden for about three days due to the shock of a major setback, finally joined the meditation training after waking up. Since she had suffered a lot mentally, I hoped this meditation would help her recover mentally.

The Self-Defense Force members I encountered and called out to were carrying automatic rifles, but the units tasked with exterminating monsters were using maces in urban combat. Yeah, it looked like priest warriors.

But it couldn't be helped, and it was probably prepared for the stampede situation.

Regarding the matter of wearing full ceremonial attire and the prohibition of carrying swords by military, police, and government officials during duty, as specified in the Edict No. 38 issued by the Daij-kan in 1876 (Meiji 9), it was issued as a decree prohibiting anyone other than those wearing full ceremonial attire or military personnel and police officers from carrying swords. After the issuance of the so-called Sword Abolishment Edict, if a person carrying a long-bladed weapon walked through the town, people would likely feel strong aversion and fear. Taking this into consideration, the Self-Defense Forces decided not to handle blades larger than bayonets and opted for using maces in urban combat against monsters.

And the special disaster deployment against unique labyrinth incidents.

What's that supposed to mean? Simply put, it seems they want to convey that deploying the Self-Defense Forces to exterminate monsters originating from dungeons is similar to deploying them for earthquakes or typhoons.

This was issued because the Prime Minister, who should take responsibility for ordering the Self-Defense Forces to deploy, died first.

In other words, politicians seemed to say, "We have no intention of taking any responsibility for deploying the Self-Defense Forces for military purposes!" They were quite a bunch.
