Rena: “I see~”

I logged in and advanced for an amount of time after beating the boss while pondering would this area be eventually submerged if the seawater keeps leaking from somewhere?

Because I have set the game to be realistic and it manages to scare me, I tried investigating for the source. It seems like it’s coming from that blue quartz.

I can’t imagine that there could be something that gorgeous inside a boss room that is in the bottom of the layer…

Player: “…yes, that’s right.”

Therefore, I’m currently threaten-…..asking a player who I happened to pass by. Apparently he seems to be from a group called the inspection team.

Player: “Why is the Genocider here…? No, it’s not that strange, though…”

Rena: “…is there something wrong?”

Player: “ーーー!! N-No! No! Nothing!!”

I was just asking as he was muttering something, but he’s strangely sitting upright, you see…

Rather than that, who is this genocider? Did he mistaken me for someone?

Player: “…umm, you can release me anytime now…”

Rena: “You’re convenient so please follow me.”

Player: “Ah, yes.”

There seems to be a lot of information to take, so let’s squeeze out what he has been investigating.

This kind of opportunity is valuable to me as I don’t have any interaction with other players, you know?

Player: “That’s all the information that I got about the place where you’re heading to,『Belzenstock City』…”

Rena: “I see, thank you very much.”

Unlike the 『Town of Beginning』, 『Belsenstock City』, which I’m currently aiming for, is a shipping city that is brimming with many bays that serves as harbors.

(TL Note: I’m changing First Town to Town of Beginning)

Various goods are gathered from all over the world, including people. Hence, it’s also called a city full of slaves.

Rena: “The slaves are supporting the people’s lives, I see…”

Player: “Yes, that’s about it. They are the ones who do all the work. Not just heavy work, such as carrying luggage or cleaning the sewers, but jobs that no one wants to do as well.”

It seems like the slaves were not illegal by law and it was an everyday occurrence where the slaves rebelled against their master, but ever since the current lord ruled the territory, the pressure against the slaves has become stronger and they are only guaranteed barely minimum necessities for life. Seems that, it’s an “I can just own another one even if they die” kind of situation.

However, thanks to exploiting the labor force of slavery, the city prospered even further, and the support from the middle class and above, such as the wealthy people, seems to be stronger as well.

Player: “…Umm, Genocider-san.”

Rena: “…Are you talking to me?”

I thought he’s talking about someone from a while ago, but it seems like he’s talking about me, yes?

Player: “Eh? didn’t you know? You’re a celebrity among players, you know?!”

Rena: “…that seems to be like it, but my name is not Genocider.”

Why does it have to be Genocider… Well, I could probably guess the gist of it after remembering that I have done PKs and such inside the city.

Player: “Then, what should I call you…?”

Rena: “My name is Rena, so please call me that.”

Player: “Ehh?! Then the name of that ridiculous party that the first one to capture the Underground Tomb wasーーー”

Rena: “―――Your tongue or throat? Which would you like to be cut?”

I heard a rash remark that I could not pass, so I put my dagger into his mouth and approached his face while giving those choices.

Player: “…………Ahm schowweh..”

Rena: “…Well, that’s fine.”

I’ve been taught various things from him so let’s overlook it this time…

Player: “*cough* *cough*…t-that was scary…………”

This person is exaggerating too much, yes? It’s interesting to see it, but it won’t be like this every time, right?

Player: “…wait, Rena? I think I have heard it somewhere?”

Rena: “? Wasn’t it the party name that captured the tomb, like you said?”

Player: “Ah, no, that’s not it, I’m talking about the real world…”

Rena: “Well, it’s not that rare of a name so you don’t have to worry about it, yes?”

Player: “………………If I look closely, I think I have also seen Rena-san’s face from somewhere… (*mumble* *mumble*)”

For some reason he’s pondering while mumbling something with a small voice… I can’t hear him perfectly, but I’m not that interested by it, so let’s leave him be like that.

Rena: “In any case, I’m going ahead now.”

Yuu: “Ah, please wait! I will die if you leave me in this depths! By the way, my name is Yuu! I haven’t said it, right?”

Rena: “I see, let’s go.”

I advanced ahead alongside him hurrying and following me.
