Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Evaluation Conference

These past few days were busy days, mainly due to the labyrinth.

After my debut as the demon lord, the fighting tournament was held and went smoothly.

Both can be considered great successes.

In particular, the method of using the enhanced remote communication ball – crystal ball with the ability to record and project images on a large screen, is very popular.

We were able to watch the tournament battle very clearly through the magnified images projected onto the big screen.

Above all, being able to observe the interior of the labyrinth from a safe distance should be a shock, culturally speaking, to foreign authorities.

In the case of the Dwarf King,

「Oioi .. although you openly flaunt some terrible things .. There are so many potential apps for this, I'm confused whether this is a good thing or not.

Before you reveal this to the public, I'd like to talk to you. 」

I was given a little advice.

TN Note: This is specifically more of an outspoken/honest piece of advice than just pure advice.

For us, the value lies in its entertainment and comfort, however, for the countries around the Great Jura Forest, it is a completely different story.

It is easy to think of its usefulness in the military.

Being able to lead an army from a safe location was a major advantage.

Above all, the situation of the enemy forces right after the attack of the suicide forces can be immediately demonstrated.

This piece of technology that we have just voluntarily demonstrated is an innovative product that can be considered a super high tech.

The technology was developed using My analysis, along with a blend of science and magic. So, it is also easy to mass produce it.

However, the distance and amount of information transferred depends on the user, as it consumes the magical power of the user to function.

This inconvenience was fixed using the magical power integration system, but I'd better not say it.

「However, it seems that in your case, something that can be used in the military, can also be used for entertainment.」

I was told that in amazement.

However, it has a very good effect on publicity.

The Magical Dynasty Empress Sarion quickly offered cooperation.

「If you want, do you want financial support?」

「Ahh, maybe we will head in that direction in time. But if we can get some Magitech experts, it will be a real life savior. 」

「Fumu, I understand. We will be back and reviewing this soon！ 」

He left with Duke Enalude after saying that.

Empress Arion had a childlike expression with a new toy, which was overjoyed. Compared to the depressed duke, the difference was impressive.

When compared to the initial technology agreement, it is only a matter of time before a mature joint research begins between us.

The Dwarf King prepared a team of technology researchers at home, promising to send them into the storm of the monster country, before leaving as well.

So far good.

Then, there was a problem.

First, the Tengu clan.

I was visited in person after the competition, and I was greeted with words,

『I was so rude the other day, and sorry!

I humbly come to you to beg for forgiveness !! 』

Everyone came to apologize.

That nice.

Because I don't think their actions are too much of a problem, I'm not too distracted.

But here's the problem.

「Therefore, if, as a way to apologize ……,

I want to be allowed to serve under Benimaru and be his bride! 」

Huh huh? What did he say ?!

The granddaughter of the Tengu elder, Momiji, dropped such a bomb.

When you think about it, he has a pretty sloppy and straightforward personality.

I looked towards Benimaru and for a moment he was struck by the news and became panicked. Begging with his eyes, saying “No way, no way!”

But then, I thought,

Isn't this good? It's something between the two, if I'm involved it'll just be confusing.

As they always say, “The wise never face any problems.”

It was my style to avoid this troublesome situation.

「Nah, about that ... ask the person in question.

Outsiders shouldn't interfere, right? 」

There was extra emphasis on Outsiders, and I decided to leave the conversation with Benimaru.

The executives showed their approval in response to My words.

It seems like none of us want to get involved.

And good luck Benimaru! I think that's enough as a prize to win the tournament, so appeal to it as you please!

While encouraging him in my heart, the matter was postponed.

The matter with the Tengu tribe was handed over to Benimaru, and I decided not to interfere.

Not responsible? I don't understand what you're talking about

And, when one problem is ruled out, another problem arises.

And this problem is the cause of my recent headaches.

and the problem is…

The capture of the dungeon did not go as expected.

The first layer had no traps, and it was meant to help utilize the underground prison atmosphere.

So, I think it will be at a level where finishing it in one day is possible.

However, three days had passed and there was no sign of anyone cleaning up.

There were even parties killed by C rank monsters.

Or rather, there are many.

Blinded by greed, those fools rushed towards the treasure box without even noticing the monsters hiding in the corner of the room.

They don't understand the basics. In short, their sense of danger was deeply felt!

Moreover, the monsters that roamed were mostly F rankers.

There were mostly E ratings, and some D ratings in the mix, but these ended up failing.

There was also a fool who challenged him alone, and was instantly slaughtered by a rank 3 E monster.

There were also those who met with D rank, and were quickly killed.

The level is so low that I can't speak.

But the problem is not so bad that it causes panic.

The challenger this time was the doorman and the mercenary; the arrogant person we could not explore.

Although I waited, no one cleaned it after three days.

Some have even given up in their midst.

That's for sure.

Since the storage point is located in every 10 levels, if you don't bring in a large amount of rations, you will soon starve.

And when they get lost, and can't decide if they should go to the exit.

They were advised to stockpile supplies and supplies at the beginning, but they paid no heed to it.

If I were to seriously design a dungeon to kill them, not a single conqueror would succeed even after 100 years.

I guess we need to reconsider everything from the bottom up.

And this is what's been making my head hurt lately.

At this rate things will turn for the worse.

No, the number of subterranean prison conquerors is not a problem

If there was a magic stone, a slight advantage could be obtained, and thus there were quite a number of people entering the underground chamber one by one.

When the influential figures returned to their respective countries, they seemed to have posted a request for the people to conquer the dungeon, among them there were some who had prepared carefully.

However, they were the minority, and those whose preparations were careless became the majority.

The participants are Me, Veldora, Ramiris, and as Masayuki observers.

「Alright, judging from the current situation, it is not good at all.

Our pleasure, not that, I believe that in order for there to be some successful conqueror, we must give a little guidance. 」

At this rate they would not even reach the 10th floor.

I mean, what kind of idiot would even try to take the labyrinth alone ?!

After all, they wouldn't even notice their lack of vigilance if we didn't show it all.

「And thus, the first level is designed to get the feeling,

should I turn it into “athletic stage” where monsters don't appear?

At this level, you can learn about traps, practice fighting with monsters ……

Well, we can also use it for warrior training for Monster Country recruits. What do you think?”

「Hm, my opinion, I'm sure it's too soft.

To some extent, I want them to undergo training, to feel their arms 」

“I think so too!

If Milim were there, they would all be sent with outbursts of anger! 」

Thus the dungeon creator actually blew up the challengers rather than discussing the dungeon's predicament.

「In this case, there should be a lesson on the basics of catching a basement.

Like tutorial. 」

After Masayuki's casual remark, we looked at each other.

「Chuchorial? What is it?”

「That sounds good, is it edible?」

I thought Veldora would know about it, but if even Veldora did not know about it, then there was no way Ramiris would know.

So Masayuki and I explained what a tutorial is.

Both sure.

「That sounds good. I gotcha! Let's get ready now! 」

Ramiris nodded.

But, uh,

「Ah, please wait a minute. I also noticed something else.

How about installing lodging and food at each storage point?

Or rather, if they were all spatially connected by a door, we would only need one area, right?

In this way, people who do not prepare in advance will use it even though it is expensive 」

TN Note: You know what to do: 3

What was that?

Is this person... a genius ?!

Ramiris directed his gaze towards him, nodded strongly, and returned to us.

「Masayuki Kun, we will try to adopt your idea.

If there's anything else you're thinking about, don't hesitate to talk. 」

While I was pushing him, Masauki was thinking, and remembering the game he once played.

“One-time cap…

For example, maybe save points that are only disposable?

Just having a save point once every 10 floors would probably be too difficult.

Although I think it would probably be better to get rid of their dependency in less than 30 floors ……

At least until the 20th floor, let's leave a little sweetness in their basement capturing experience. 」

Fumu's.

Note TN: As mentioned earlier, Japanese is equivalent to hm.

I'm seeing.

「Umu, so am I!

What Masayuki said made sense! 」

Veldora quickly followed Masayuki's advice.

Well, I don't mind either.

「Alright, then I will prepare a hidden room on each floor, connecting it to the dining room on the 95th floor.

It will also improve the usefulness of the city.

Then, to implement drop items that can create a storage point anywhere.

Is this possible, Ramiris? 」

「Of course ~! There is even empty space

The name of the item was the Record Orb, make it a rare drop of small fries !! 」

Goodgood.

The first floor should be to gather previous experience in addition to the announcement.

Whether one used it or not, it was up to them, and it was arranged so that they would not die on this floor.

There is a mechanism that allows them to come back to life on the spot. Like a children's playground.

Then, the 2nd floor would be a low virtual battle with all kinds of monsters.

It should be able to reproduce the experience of meeting to some degree, and it will help capture the basement.

However, unique monsters and boss monsters were excluded as possible targets.

That would be too comfortable.

So on the 2nd floor everyone would feel like flying into a private room.

The real thing starts on the 3rd floor.

However, there would be no traps set up on the 3rd floor, and the demons roaming the hall were also low-leveled, only F-rank.

I only placed E rank in one part of the area, along with the treasure chest containing the potions.

Expensive items will begin to appear on the 5th floor and below.

Just like that, I also thought about making adjustments and changing the difficulty level.

Even in game development, there will be a certain level of unreasoning after closed-door testing.

In fact, for a while, that testing was being done.

However, the one who made the arrest was 6 members of “Yomigaeri” under Shion's orders.

We were able to catch to the 40th floor without any problems.

We didn't arrange to stay on the 30th floor.

However, even with traps and small fries, the capture goes without much struggle.

Thanks to that, we realized that we made a mistake in assuming the difficulty level of the labyrinth.

We have to choose the testers carefully.

This will be a challenge for the future.

So, we've had an evaluation meeting, and remade a new dungeon.

Myormiles had sent requests and given gifts for the people to seize the dungeons to the branches of the Freedom Association in each country.

He did his job well.

The load was placed on Gozuru's wrists and feet, while he stood guard on the 30th floor.

Mezu, now named Mezuru, also maintains the floor in turns.

The 50th floor will also be guarded by Mezuru or Gozuru, but without their restraints.

I hope they get along as fellow defenders.

The 95th floor will be the town of Fairy and Treant (Planned), and with the cooperation of Gerudo and Mildo, the place is completed with a beautiful and fantastic touch.

Even though it was underground, there was sun and sky, even stars could be seen at night.

And thus, the appearance of the labyrinth changes daily, giving it a fresh new touch.

TN Note: Think of the mystery dungeon series.

And finally, the adventurers who were forbidden together to form a capture team, had finally arrived at the Monster Country Tempest.
