Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne? Chapter 126

Not quite 4 hours but oh well~ You an just tell the author was f.u.c.king with the readers from the identifies this time. The best part is the next chapter after this one was a setting info chapter about various spells which added an extra day to the gap before they released 127. Maybe I should do that first since spells... and stuff.. you know important spell info. Really useful right now. Next chapter in 4-8 hours for real this time. Here, I'll do the only important spell on the settings page:
{Meteor Swarm} (All Elements Lv.9, Consumes 4,500 MP)
It creates a swarm of mysterious objects that have a diameter of 10m and smashes them into the target. Super dangerous.
Al there's still some cheats remaining for you!
Year 7444, Month 5, Day 27
I gave it my best desperately trying to cling to the protuberances on the floor but they're at best a light uneven slope of about 10 cm and the surface is slimy so there's no way to grab on to them. It's to the point where it was good luck that I somehow managed to shift my posture so I was sliding down with my feet first and my head up. I quickly perceived that the lid of the dark slanted pitfall closed from above.
Because, up until now there was some slight light from the entrance but now it's completely shut off into darkness. This is bad, Identify..and just as I was thinking that I saw some small amount of light from my lower body but! just as I thought that both of my legs were standing properly on the ground. Of course, I still had the momentum remaining so I ended up rolling along just like that.
I touched the floor and felt the sensation of solid and dry dirt. Then I'll use the spell {Light}..I can't use it. In that case Identify, I can't use thsi either! What does this mean!? I suddenly started to feel helpless in the pitch darkness so I started to search around for the long sword I had let go of before I realized it and started crawling around but I couldn't find it.
s.h.i.t!! What in the world!? is this.
I can understand that I fell in something like a pitfall. I also know that the lid of it closed right away. Along the way down I saw a bit of fine light but..was that, teleportation huh!? Is this not the 3rd floor that I was on until just now!?
I looked upwards and yelled out "Hey!" but there was no response.
I thought I might end up calling some monsters over so I thought again and stopped yelling but the impulse to scream out remains just as large as before. We were just a bit away from defeating Franken. I wonder if, those guys will be alright? I think they should have been able to defeat it in another one or two hits, so I want to believe that they're fine but..Somehow I suddenly start to feel uneasy about it.
Come to think of it, since it seems I've survived the immediate emergency, it might just be my imagination but I feel hungry..I'm hungry! Ah,aaaa,aaa,aa....s.h.i.t! This feeling. It's mana exhaustion!
This is bad, this is bad, this is bad. This is very bad!
Following that I intensely want to have s.e.x.
The desire to sleep has quickly started to come on as well.
I guess it's because I was in a situation where I didn't even have the time to worry about feeling any desires until now. Otherwise, the anxiety I felt around the time I hit the ground was caused by running out of MP as well?
Ah, my bag. There should be three days worth of preserved food in my bag but..It's not here! I should have been carrying it on my back..d.a.m.n it! I pulled out the pin and threw it aside before charging into Franken. Then, in that case the emergency use antidote and healing potion that I put into the pack on my D ring..I guess it was no good that I had put it inside of a leather bag but the medicine bottle feels like it shattered inside the bag.
Then, in that case..Ah, s.h.i.t, I feel hungry and my crotch is raging with violent energy. I took off the crotch protector portion of my rubber protectors. It hurt since it was. .h.i.tting. Of course I'm still holding the crotch portion that I took off. There's no way I'd throw it away right. However, with this my only belonging is the flask I had hanging from my ta.s.sets on the opposite side. It seems that this one is safe but it's empty. No, there might be one or two drops of water remaining though.
My weapons are..the bra.s.s knuckles in the fists of both of my gauntlets and the throwing needles built into the simple shield on both of my arms for a total of 20 of them, and the knife I have fixed to the band on my right thigh. It seems my safe is safe as well.
However, I'm tired. Boiling. Hungry. If it was just one, since I'm already an adult I'm sure I can still endure it. However, for all three primary desires to come at once, what kind of torture is this? If I felt like it I could at least take care of s.e.xual desire but if I was attacked or killed by a monster in the middle of that, for an eternity..rather if I die here there isn't even a next era.
Ah, but, I've been rolling over here and there while screaming.
If there was a monster nearby then it's strange that I wasn't long since attacked.
Then, in that case I guess there aren't any monsters nearby, in other words...The moment I feel like I'm able to start thinking clearly, the feeling of wanting to satisfy my desires gets stronger to where I can't hold it back. s.h.i.t, s.h.i.t!! Be cool! The feeling of starvation is terrible!
I'm tired!
I want to do it!
I was able to think "No matter what I do isn't staying in the center of the room a bad idea? with the little remaining ability to think I had. It would be good if I can make it to the wall but I don't know which direction the wall is in.
I'm hungry!
I want to do it!
Tired!
Ah, really, I don't mind if I die so just let me eat something! I remember back to the food I ate on a trip to a hot spring ryokan once. The raw whitebait was delicious. Why am I only remember small fish?
I'm tired!
I'm hungry!
I want to do it!
d.a.m.n it, I miss my bed. Water bed, why aren't you here for me right now! If you would let me lay down right now even if it was 10,000,000 yen..in an instant. Come to think of it I wasn't the bed faction. Beds make me remember the SDF and I never liked the sensation of springs. I liked to spread out a futon and sleep on that. The light blue pillar cover is mine...
I want to do it!
Tired!
I'm hungry!
I remember that one girl who was a prefect match for my type that I only got a glance of back at "Ritton" in the past. I wonder if this is the decline of consciousness level? For some reason just her face has turned into Miki's face when she was younger. No, it's not like Miki's face was particularly my type though. I guess I've more than half started to fall asleep.
I lay down face up with both of my hands covering my face. The inner band of the protectors on my knuckles. .h.i.ts my face. The rubber hurts chafing against. Since it was irritating I took off the protectors on both of my hands. Ah, my throwing needles disappeared. I guess they didn't disappear?
I rub my face with my leather gloves. It seems I was drooling before I realized it. It's like rubbing saliva all over my face. My breathing has started to get heavy. I bite down on the fingertip of my right hand and pulled it out of the glove. The apprentice of Boil Manor properly washes and dried it in the sun but the smell of sweat still isn't completely gone.
I use my right hand without a glove to take the glove off my left hand. I loosened the fastener on my helmet and took my helmet off as well. I lifted my upper body up and scratched away at my head with both hands.
In any case, I want to fill my stomach, embrace a woman, and sleep like the dead. Saying it additionally I feel terrified of this true darkness where I can't see anything at all. Could it be that my eyes have just lost sight completely? Maybe the {Light} is properly shining and Identified activated just as it should have as well? I think my sense of touch is normal and my senses of smell, hearing, and taste are the same. Just one, my sense of sight isn't working properly. Ah, I wish I had at least been carrying a lighter magic tool.
I lay my upper body back down on the ground again while scratching. I feel like various things are gradually not mattering anymore as my desires become more maddening. In the next moment, I suddenly like I touched something hard where I had my hand stretched out. What is it? I nervously touch it with my hand and I was able to figure it out right away. It's a sword. I can't tell if it's Toris's long sword that fell down with me or not but it's properly got the shape of a sword.
If it's this then..I might end up damaging my only remaining main arm that is my knife but I resolved on it. I crawl around while drooling and after finding a hard rock with a diameter of about 10 cm and I took the knife out off my thigh before swinging my knife down with all my force.
On the second try sparks flew out in front of my eyes.
The sparks left behind a vivid afterimage and disappeared in an instant but the sparks are proof that my five senses are still working normally. In other words, the symptoms right now aren't an abnormality with my eyes, and it's not just a situation where I'm hungry, want to have s.e.x, or tired either. It's 100% that I've run out of mana. If I don't take some rest then even if I endure it recovery is pretty unlikely.
I return my knife which probably has a chipped blade now to the scabbard on my thigh while fumbling with it and make sure it's fixed with the band and then I gathered my belongings scattered in the surroundings. I put my gloves on top of my gauntlets and above that I put the crotch parts of it and made a simple pillow, then I put the sword I picked up next to that.
I don't know if this is a reasonable place to get some rest but rather than trying to crawl around in the darkness getting some rest seems like the better choice. I can't do anything about the feelings of starvation but I relieved myself while drooling and then laid on my side. The last remaining thought process I had was to bring my sword closer to my side..is what I think but I probably just reached out towards it. Without even trying to concentrate on it I was pulled into a deep sleep.
Right now, if I were to be discovered by a monster I'd definitely be a goner.
..............
Kachin! The good feeling sound of opening my lighter rings out as I lit up my cigarette.
I inhale a breathe of smoke deep into my lungs and slowly exhale it out.
Miki who was laying with her head on my left arm and hugged closer to me.
It's our 10 wedding anniversary day.
I just finished giving her {Sweet 10 Diamond} ring after saving up in my secret stash for a while along with money I won from co-workers in Mahjong. Although, since we're a married couple that both work and don't have any kids (can't have any) so we aren't all that troubled with money. It's true it cost over 1,000,000 yen but the amount of I won from Mahjong covered about half of that.
"Hey, why did you buy something like this?"
Miki looks at the ring stuck on the side of her wedding ring on her left hand while asking. As expected she doesn't have a grasp on even my wallet but since she has a grasp on my salary and savings situation so she was quickly able to guess that it doesn't match up with what I can normally afford.
"Yeah, it's from my secret stash. I had been saving up for it for a while."
"Fufu."
She looks at the ring while putting her head on my chest and let's out a happy voice.
I touch her hair silky hair and comb through it feeling the good sensation of it.
"Hey.."
"Yeah.."
I took another puff of my cigarette and pushed it into the ash tray.
I face my body to the left and grope her good shaped b.r.e.a.s.t.s that still haven't lost their shape.
They're a bit wet from sweat.
I push down my wife and cover her lips with mine.
"..Nn..the cigarette's..ah..."
(....de..na........no..)
　？
.......
"Guboe~!!!"
It's an attack!
It seems I was attacked while sleeping!
I feel like I was suddenly hit in the stomach with a hammer.
It feels like the hammer is still on top of my stomach and I'm being held down.
"Ghit~!!"
I frantically tried to reach for my sword but it wasn't within the range I could reach. The tips of my fingers were only able to touch the protectors I was using as a pillow.
I stretched out my hands to the foreign object on my stomach and tried to move it away.
The hammer on top of my stomach raised a voice.
Ei~ move!!
I struggle around and push it away.
It seems the opponent has started hitting back.
"d.a.m.n it!"
I roll around in the darkness, I somehow was able to secure the freedom of my body but I don't know where my sword is, and I don't have the protectors for my crotch or arms. In order to not make a sound I slowly reached my arm out to the knife on my thigh. Simultaneously I confirm that I can calmly make decisions. At the very least I was able to rest for over 1 hour it seems.
In the past, I tried using Identify periodically on brother and sister after they fell asleep after using up all of their MP and checked their MP so I know well how it works. After falling asleep MP will recover to about 6 in 3 hours, after that it rapidly starts to increase in the amount it recovers and in about an hour after that MP fully recovers. Incidentally, during the final 10 minutes 75% or so of that recovers. If I didn't have more than 2 MP remaining then it would be bad but judging off this feel I should have close to 6. In that case..I can use Identify. I activated Identify vision.
Just like usual the brightness of the things in from of my sight increased. I was relieved that I was able to use Identify with no problem but the thing that was in front of me that increased in brightness was something like an overcoat or robe. If I shift my glance a bit and I saw an opening of the front of the robe where clothes are. I shift my glance up a bit.
I can tell they have the bottom half of their face covered in some type of cloth like a mask. If I don't look a bit up at their face then I probably can't use Identify. However, in the next moment,
"..Elf? No, it's different. You're too tall for a Dwarf either. It seems that your eyes can see in this situation but you aren't a monster right?"
And started talking to me. It's a somehow stiff {Common  Language}. It seems it's an opponent that I can talk with. If I can talk to them then I can earn some time. First I need to confirm my own condition.
"I'm a human. Since you can see in this situation then does that mean you have Infrared Vision?"
I responded like that while quickly using Identify on my hand that doesn't have a glove on it.

So my MP is 4 huh? In other words I should have had 5 so I must have rested for close to 3 hours. If this guy had come falling a bit later...However, since I was woken up with only a half-incomplete amount of sleep I feel like it's considerably low but this 4 is the normal amount of mana for a 16 year old. And my experience has increased by quite a bit as well. It seems they were able to defeat Franken. It would be good if no one died though.
I quickly returned my glance and used Identify on the other person. The upper and lower parts of their face are covered in cloth like a ninja and I can only see their eyes.
It's like only their eyes are floating in the darkness.
【Midu~ritto.Chizumagurol】, 【Level 10】, 【Dark Elf】!? And..and.. 【Unique Ability: Unit Organization(Lv. 6)】, there's some clearly shining red characters there. It seems they're suffering from some light blunt trauma as well. If I look closely and unexpectedly their maximum MP is over 250 though it's currently at 0. I'm sure it'll get painful pretty soon, they might already be having trouble enduring it but I'm amazed their holding that back. It's quite the willpower. In addition if I look closely their eyes are black as well.
"You're a j.a.panese person right?"
I tried talking to them in j.a.panese.
"..!! Ku. Why..why do you know that language? Gu..I thought I was the only one who knew it but.."
What is it? This person? I'm sure they're in pain because their MP is gone but what are they saying?
"You, what are you say..Well it's fine. I won't attack you. And, it's probably pretty painful right?"
Just in case I removed the knife I had fixed on my belt while saying that.
Since their face was hidden within their robe as they faced down my 【Identify】 was cut off.
I wonder if I should 【Identify】 them once more?
No, even if I don't use 【Identify】, it's terrifying not be able to see anything.
My MP is getting severe (If I use it once more it'll become 3) but I used 【Identify】 once more. It seems like the person in front of me is a reincarnated person but somehow they aren't very clear. I should remain cautious.
It seems they're loosening the string on their robe around their neck. Their breathing has started to get heavy.
They took off the robe and started to remove the hood of their black clothes. Their gloves seem to be the same type of long leather gloves as mine.
"I'm going to use {Light}."
I said that and used {Light} on the ground between Chizumagurol and myself. I didn't bother waiting for a response.
Suddenly the surroundings got brighter. Since I had my pupils wide open, just in case I closed my eyes before using {Light} but even just the light coming in from between my eyelids was enough to blind me for a short period.
I'm sure it's the same for this Dark Elf as well.
I slowly open my eyelids.
It must have been quite bright for Chziumagurol after taking off the hood. They're covering their face with one hand.
Just as I expected the hair that was hiding behind the hood was a glossy black. Their ears are a bit pointed almost like an Elves (I guess it's only obvious because Dark Elves are Elves too though).
Just from the glance of skin I could see it was light violet color and if you were to put a portion of that skin up to my own it's a disgusting color as if I would have been poisoned there.
They slowly move their hand while trying to block the light from their face as they lower it.
During that time I'm vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
There doesn't seem to be any monsters in the range the light stretches..
There also doesn't seem to be any walls in the range of the light either..s.h.i.t.
The ceiling is..It's high but for the time being it seems to reach. I guess around 30-35 meters?
My protectors and weapon..are over there. I felt relieved. After all it was Toris's long sword.
While I was restlessly looking around the surroundings, Chizumagurol who was looking at me suddenly fell forward and started holding their head while groaning. I panicked a bit seeing that state but in order to remain cautious I didn't approach them. Just in case I used Identify once more but it was still just 【Condition: Blunt Trauma】.
Is it some kind of feigned illness?
However, soon after they let go of their head that they were holding they remained crouched over while looking straight at me.
"I've remembered a little bit."
Chizumagurol said that in j.a.panese. However, at the same time it seems like they're desperately trying to endure the suffering from being out of MP and they had a stiff smile on their face with sweat pouring down.
I feel like it's somehow a nostalgic smile.
I only have 2 MP remaining.
