Previous Chapter | [Next Chapter] Tl: Sam … “Oh, Rin-chan, that’s so nice. I wanted to go too.” It was night. As everyone gathered around the dining table for dinner, Hoshino said enviously. “When you say ‘wanted to go,’ you know we’re not going for fun, right?” “I know that, but… staying home is lonely.” Hoshino pouted, sticking out her lips. The topic of discussion was my trip to the seabed dungeon.
Previous Chapter | Next Chapter Tl: Sam … It is rare for dungeons to appear in water. Most dungeon entrances appear on land. I myself have only entered underwater dungeons a handful of times. But even then, they were only in shallow waters or lakes. I’ve never entered a dungeon born on the seabed. The inside of the dungeon will likely also be full of water. There should be many situations where we have to swim. This will undoubtedly be one of the most difficult dungeons I’ve ever entered. “How deep is that dungeon?” “The entrance to the ‘Tokyo Bay Seabed Dungeon’ is located at a depth of about 200m. Investigations are not yet complete, but there shouldn’t be much deviation from that.” “That’s quite deep…”
Previous Chapter | Next Chapter Tl: Sam … “I am truly sorry about this matter!!” Dojima-san said loudly and bowed deeply to me. This was the Minister’s Office of the Ministry of Monster Control. In other words, Dojima-san’s office. There, Dojima-san and I were sitting facing each other across a small table. The day after the news broke about Suda’s escape, I was summoned here. Of course, I was called regarding Suda’s escape. Dojima-san seemed to feel responsible for the matter and apologized as soon as we sat down.
Previous Chapter | Next Chapter Tl: Sam … —Thirty minutes earlier. There was an armored car driving through the city at night. This armored car was no ordinary armored car. It was a “special escort vehicle” made from metals obtained in dungeons. This car, tough enough to withstand attacks from monsters and Awakened individuals for a while, was built for the purpose of escorting Awakened criminals. Though fewer now, after Awakened people first appeared, many used their powers for crime. There were even countries that ceased to function not because of monsters or dungeons, but because of such criminals. Japan itself might have met the same fate had it not been for the efforts of the Ministry of Monster Control. Awakened criminals are treated differently from ordinary criminals. Once their sentence is decided, they are placed not in regular prisons, but in special containment facilities for Awakened individuals. There, they are handcuffed with restraints that weaken their Awakened powers and placed in cages made of dungeon-produced metal. Even for an Awakened individual with extraordinary strength, escaping from there is not easy. In fact, the special containment facility located somewhere in Tokyo, where the escort vehicle was currently headed, was an impregnable prison that had never allowed a single escapee.
Previous Chapter | Next Chapter Tl: Sam … “Here! I even prepared a marriage registration form! Sign it!” “I told you I wouldn’t! Let go!” I forcefully pushed away the Princess who was relentlessly trying to marry me. Seriously, where did she even learn about marriage registration forms? I suspect Adachi or some viewers told her unnecessary things… “Hmph! Isn’t this fine? I’m asking you so earnestly! How stingy!” Lilicia whined. When she’s in public, she acts like a dignified princess, but in the office, she’s like a big child. She’s completely recognized this place as her own home. That in itself makes me happy. It would be pitiful if she felt lonely and anxious ever since coming from another world. However… dealing with her is not easy.
