11. Tokyo Panic.

With my attack power, I feel like I could just throw a single rock.

 

 

Hmm… let’s see~

Here it is. A pebble that fits perfectly in my hand.

 

 

“You guys need to bring tanks worth tens of billions to barely create a bang, but I…”

Hwik!

 

 

“Don’t even need that crap. All I need is a rock.”

 

 

Sswaeaeek!

 

 

The pebble flew without a chance to react.

The carelessly thrown rock pierced through the middle-aged man’s testicles with an incredibly destructive sound, and even destroyed the tank behind him.

 

 

A match made in hell between a gruesome sound and a satisfying one.

The explosion is also quite artistic.

 

 

“Kkeuaaaaaaak!!!”

“Ge, General!!!”

 

 

Hehe. Serves him right.

 

 

“I went easy on you guys because of the conscription system. If it were a volunteer system, you’d all be dead. Of course, if you attack me now, it’ll end up the same way.”

“Medic!!”

 

The military camp was in chaos.

Not only because of the tanks worth tens of billions, but more importantly, the General-nim is in that state, so you can imagine. He’s probably going to die soon, right?

 

 

“Wow… that’s vicious. Of all places, the testicles…”

 

Sora-nuna was impressed.

But he’s a middle-aged man anyway, right? He wouldn’t even use it…

 

 

“You!! Are you out of your mind!!!”

 

 

The assistant ahjussi(?) next to him screamed almost hysterically and pointed at me.

At the same time, another Black Panther tank turned its turret towards me.

 

“U, Uwak!! I don’t know what’s going on, but the turret is pointing at us!!”

 

 

The adventurers were surprised, and tension began to build.

 

 

“Why? You really want to fight? You just saw it. I told you, all I need is a rock. How many stars need to fall before you come to your senses?”

“Y-!”

 

 

 

 

Deureureureung!

 

 

Just as the assistant ahjussi was about to say something, the Self-Defense Forces waving the Rising Sun Flag and the U.S. Forces in Japan holding the Stars and Stripes arrived from all directions.

 

 

And people who looked like they were from the Association too.

 

 

They rushed over and calmed down the screaming ahjussi.

 

 

 

Hmm. What is it? I wouldn’t have minded a fight, but is it going to end like this?

 

 

 

 

“Are you the Korean adventurer Yu-Eun-ssi?”

 

 

While the Self-Defense Forces and the U.S. Forces in Japan were pacifying the Korean army, another middle-aged ahjussi approached. With an interpreter next to him.

 

 

Ha… is today cursed? Why are there so many ahjussis. I’m not interested in ahjussis.

Still, well… he’s using honorifics. The ahjussis I’ve met so far should learn from him.

 

“Yes, I am.”

 

When I answered curtly, he nodded, saying, ‘I see,’ and took out a business card from his pocket.

 

 

“I am Ishida Mitsuyori, the head of the D10 Asia Branch and the Japan Branch.”

“….”

 

 

There was nothing special on the business card.

Just the introduction he gave.

 

Hmm. The Asia Branch… so my name has become known that far.

Maybe the stats I showed the Korean Branch Manager have gone up.

 

But what to do? That’s old news. Haha.

 

 

Back then, my attack power was probably around 3.4 million or 3.6 million?

 

Now it’s double!!

 

Attack power of 7.69 million, normal attack damage of 12.1 billion, and the overwhelming grace damage of 111.2 billion!!

It’s truly my world.

 

 

Even just a few days is a lot of time for me.

 

 

“I have something to say to you, would you mind sparing some time?”

“Hmm….”

 

 

Could it be a recruitment?

 

I’ve heard it happens sometimes.

There are organizations that scout talented adventurers on a national level.

 

 

And Yuna-ssi once warned me about it. There are people who scout adventurers with huge amounts of money and their ‘talent’….

 

 

Could this be one of those cases?

If that’s the case, then this polite attitude is understandable.

 

 

“Sure, why not.”

 

 

Can’t hurt.

Let’s hear him out first.

 

 

“Eun-ju,”

“Yes.”

“Sonia-ssi and the others, keep a good watch. And Sora-nuna, please take care of the cleanup.”

“Got it.”

 

 

Fortunately, I brought the management team to Japan to conquer the Tokyo Dungeon.

They’re not here yet, but they’ll be arriving soon!

I need to start preparing to conquer the Tokyo Dungeon in earnest.

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The place I arrived at with the person named Ishida was a building built on the outskirts of Tokyo.

 

“Originally, I should have taken you to the Asia Branch… but Tokyo is half-collapsed, so I couldn’t go. I apologize for the inconvenience.”

“It’s okay.”

 

According to him, it’s a building that the Asia Branch and the Japan Branch are temporarily using.

 

 

Usually, the Dungeon Association branch is built in a city without a dungeon.

Of course, even if there isn’t one now, one might appear later, but the Association does as much research as possible before building in a place where the possibility of one appearing is low.

 

That’s why our headquarters is in Incheon, not Seoul, and the United States’ is in Washington, not New York, the largest city.

 

China’s is in Shanghai, not Beijing.

 

 

 

But in Japan’s case, they built a branch in Tokyo despite the ‘high possibility of a dungeon appearing in the future’ because they had to protect their king… that’s really a foolish thing to do. Why did they do that when they’re not even as strong as me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Would you like some coffee?”

“A cappuccino, please.”

“Yes. Two cappuccinos here.”

“Yes, Branch Manager-nim.”

He and I sat facing each other in what seemed like a reception room(?).

The interpreter sat next to me.

 

“Are you aware?”

“Of what?”

“That there is a scout with exceptional talent in the Asia Branch.”

“I don’t know, but I roughly expected that there would be such a person.”

 

He smiled gently.

 

 

“She is a very high-level talent who can see the levels, jobs, and stats of others.”

“Talent?”

“Ah. In the Association, we refer to people with talent as talents. It’s a slightly different concept from adventurers.”

“I see.”

 

 

Hmm… she can see stats clearly… so there are people like that after all. Yuna-ssi is nothing compared to her.

 

“When Yu-Eun-ssi came to Japan, your name was already known in each branch.”

“Oh. It’s nice to hear I’ve become famous.”

“So when you came in, I asked her to look at Yu-Eun-ssi’s stats. I apologize for this. I’m sorry for looking at your stats without permission. But this is unavoidable due to the nature of the Dungeon Association. I ask for your understanding.”

“Yeah, whatever…”

I don’t care if they look. It’d be even better if they got scared and didn’t touch me.

 

 

“Have some coffee.”

“Ah. Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

 

The secretary-nuna is bringing the coffee at just the right time.

But when I think about it, this isn’t a cafe, it’s like a company office? Making cappuccinos here….

 

 

 

 

“Yu-Eun-ssi is truly an amazing talent.”

 

 

The ninggen named Ishida said with a fuss.

There was white foam from the cappuccino on his lips.

 

 

Only beautiful women can pull off cute happenings like that, so please stop.

 

 

“Korea has no eye for talent. You can see that just by looking at the Han Sarang incident, can’t you? Shooting an adventurer to death like that!”

“That’s true. They really have no eye for talent. They have too little.”

 

 

I guess the police are a little better.

They know my strength and even gave me an honorary position.

 

 

The military, well… there’s no need to even talk about them. Last time, they even ignored me when I was at the scene (Han Sarang).

And today, I directly confronted them.

 

“But the reason you’re bringing this up is… are you trying to recruit me? From the Japan Branch?”

“No. Not the Japan Branch, but the Asia Branch.”

“But that’s the Japan Branch.”

“….”

Ah, he just twitched.

 

“W-Well, strictly speaking, it’s different. There’s the Asia Branch that oversees Asia, and the place we want Yu-Eun-ssi is the Asia Branch.”

“But from my point of view, all I do is hunt in dungeons anyway, so what benefit is there for me to be recruited?”

 

 

Tokyo is going to be mine anyway.

 

 

“Let me tell you, I’ve already finished preparing to conquer the Tokyo Dungeonㅡ.”

“We will give you all the dungeons that appear in Japan in the future, including Tokyo.”

“…Huh?”

 

 

A dumbfounded sound came out for a moment.

 

 

Is this what they call a nuke deal?

 

 

What’s going on all of a sudden?

 

 

“Yu-Eun-ssi, as a symbol of the Asia Branch, you can set up a nest in Tokyo and manage all the dungeons in Japan. Of course, you can also manage Gangnam in Korea, which you have already conquered. Would you be like a daimyo of the adventure world?”

 

 

 

 

 

+++

 

 

 

 

 

 

“What could he be doing?”

“Probably being recruited.”

“Recruited?”

 

Yuna said, munching on pizza.

 

 

“I told you before. Some talents are really ridiculous. There are talents who can see the entire stat. And those people usually work for national organizations… like Association branches.”

“I don’t think we have that in our country….”

“That’s right… our Association has strong power, but our adventurer power isn’t strong enough to make a name for itself. Even then, that human and we killed them all.”

“….”

“Anyway, as far as I know, there are scouts in our country too. I’ve never actually seen them though. Japan is combined with the Asia Branch, so there’s a higher chance they’ll have one. And if there’s someone who can see the entire stat… they’ll definitely try to recruit him. That human’s strength is on a different level.”

 

 

Sora nodded without realizing it.

 

 

A fact that is unconsciously acknowledged.

 

 

Yu-Eun’s strength is on a different level.

 

 

 

 

Compared to other adventurers, Sora and Yuna here also have strength on a different level. They have attack and defense that far exceeds 10 times.

 

 

But Yu-Eun had attack and defense that was close to 20 times that of her, so how absurd is that number?

 

 

If they saw his stats, anyone would jump at him.

 

 

 

 

“But will that human accept the recruitment offer?”

“No.”

“…That’s an immediate answer.”

“He’s the human who hates being under someone the most, so there’s no way he’d be recruited. Unless Japan becomes his vassal.”
