Earth-san Level Up Volume 2 Chapter 10 BB (Patreon)

At that time on Earth outside the Dungeon

The day Meiko fell into the dungeon again was, coincidentally, also the day the Japanese government made a major announcement.

Since that morning, all TV programs, both national and commercial, had been announcing that they wanted the entire nation to watch the press conference at 7:00 p.m. The government does not often ask for such cooperation from commercial broadcasters, but many people understood the importance of the announcement.

Many people understood that this was a critical announcement, since the government does not ask for this kind of cooperation from commercial broadcasters.

To tell the truth, Meiko had heard about it from the professor beforehand and was planning to watch it at home.

The result is that she is spending the night in the dungeon.

Now, the announcement made by the cabinet secretary, a familiar face on TV, is as follows

----

-The discovery of the law of determining the difficulty level of a dungeon and how he discovered this.

Note that Meiko's name was not mentioned because she is a minor, but it was almost well known around the Internet.

-That we have already shared this information with all the countries, and they have started to act.

-There were 24 dungeons discovered in Japan by this date, and 10 of them were successfully made into the lowest level dungeon.

-And then presented the difficulty level of each dungeon in Japan.

-Followed by a look inside the dungeon.

-What defenses are currently in place against the dungeons and how safe they are.

-Pictures of the demons that have appeared in the dungeons that we have currently investigated.

If you see these in town, we urge you to run away without fighting.

----

Explain these things carefully so as not to cause panic.

Hide what needs to be hidden and speak what needs to be spoken.

I had to say that people with negative karma are very unfairly treated, such as not being able to get a job, having a very hard time raising their level, etc.

The whole world is starting to investigate dungeons in the same way, and the government thought that in today's Internet society, sooner or later people would surely find out about this fact.

If that was the case, it would be less damaging to say so from their own mouths.

Furthermore, it was also predicted that after disclosing the information about the dungeon, it would be the negative karma people who would demand loudly that they be allowed to enter the dungeon.

Therefore, it was necessary to tell them that there was little point in you entering the dungeon.

Along with the announcement of the unfortunate fact of negative karma people, it was announced that a program for negative karma people would be broadcast on TV and distributed online.

In fact, it would be good if we could establish a group of professional counselors, but that idea was put on hold at this stage, as it was anticipated that one-on-one diagnosis would quickly run out of steam.

The issue of negative karma has been called for many times, even before this conference, to avoid desperation.

Until now, nothing more could be done about karma.

The responders had no idea what was going on, so they could not say anything rash.

However, as a result of following the karma logs of hundreds of people, we have learned many things, and we have reached the stage where we can broadcast programs to support rehabilitation. This is the first step in rehabilitation support for negative karma.

After this, the government continued to make efforts to support the rehabilitation of people with negative karma, including the establishment of special institutions.

The catchphrase for the rehabilitation support was likened to an insurance policy that protects the future from the risk of injury and illness, since it is not certain whether heaven and hell exist or not.

[Let's get started, good behavior insurance].

Just as you pay a lot of money to get private insurance against illnesses that you don't really know if you'll get.

Do good deeds and reduce the risk of going to hell, which you may have.

Here comes the insurance that money can't buy, for all generations.

Incidentally, the reason it was not named [heaven] insurance or [hell] insurance is that naming it that way might be perceived as an admission by the government that heaven and hell exist.

Turning from this catchphrase, this is what the Internet begins to discuss.

Is the karmic status system really unfavorable to people with negative karma?

Rather, it may be a spider thread that Mr. Earth, or God, dropped at the last chance.

If indeed hell exists.

Evil people in the past who laughed at the idea of hell and WW were dropped into a very bad hell when they died, but evil people living today, however, can seriously consider whether to take out a good deed insurance policy.

If hell is real, then the karmic status system is nothing more than ingratitude.

There is no doubt that we are super unfortunate in this life, but even that would be necessary to encourage reflection.

Is this good deed insurance meaningful?

That was something I would have to die to find out at this point.

350, nameless dungeon traveler

＞347, but can't we do more than this in defense of the dungeon?

Mr. Earth says there are demons out there, but we don't even know how big they are.

351, nameless dungeon traveler

The only thing we can do is to evacuate people from the cities, towns, and villages where the dungeons have been built.

Can you comply?

352, nameless dungeon traveler

What about announcing the difficulty level of each dungeon?

They said they don't know anything about class C. Is that okay?

353, nameless dungeon traveler.

You can't explain the difficulty of dungeons from G to E and then say you'll keep quiet about anything above class C.

354, nameless dungeon traveler

Wasn't this announcement premature to begin with?

355, Nameless Dungeon Traveler.

The military is going in overseas too, you know?

Considering the risk of a story leaking out from somewhere and spreading in a strange way, I think it's a rather good decision.

At least the public has been taught that the E class and above have a very high probability of death if amateurs go in there.

356, nameless dungeon traveler.

I'm more concerned with the fact that politicians are starting to sound religious.

Where is the separation of powers?

357, nameless dungeon traveler

That's what I'm talking about, the separation of church and state.

I don't think it's religious to support a citizen who's worried about karma.

358, nameless dungeon traveler.

Hey, you're getting sidetracked. Take that kind of thing to the political thread.

But more importantly, what about the demons whose appearance has been made public?

359, nameless dungeon traveler.

I saw it!

This thing's got a kick-ass eye, but it's completely made up of references to stories from all over the world.

360, Nameless Dungeon Traveler.

The spring balloon that Meiko says she fought is also the first small fry character in Samurai Bastard - Zed, released in 2000.

361, Nameless Dungeon Traveler

Oh, I did that too. I couldn't figure out how to operate it and got killed normally.

362, Nameless Dungeon Traveler

You were using a Super Shamisen controller, weren't you? I can beat this enemy by hitting 0 or - repeatedly.

363, nameless dungeon traveler

Wait, I'm pretty sure my controller had 6 buttons on the right side...did I have a 0 and a △?

364, nameless dungeon traveler

This guy on the far right is also a small fry enemy from Dragon Fantasia, right?

365, nameless dungeon traveler

They all have sharp knives in their eyes, though.

Does this mean that we'll be seeing more goblins and orcs in the future?

366, nameless dungeon traveler

It's a villain from a classic fantasy, and it's not out of the realm of possibility, but it's not going to happen the way you're expecting it to happen. It's not going to happen, is it?

367, Nameless Dungeon Traveler.

It's a big deal!

368, nameless dungeon traveler.

What's going on?

369, nameless dungeon traveler.

If it's a slip-up, my shield's magic will burst into flames.

370, nameless dungeon traveler.

I know it's a slippery slope, but don't let me use my shield too well!

Listen.

Everything seems to be missing Meiko!

371, Nameless Meiko Believer.

Call a meeting immediately!

372, Nameless Meiko Believer.

Hurry! Goblins and orcs might be out there!

373, Nameless Meiko Believer

I'll make a dedicated thread!

374, Nameless Dungeon Traveler

Holy shit, I've hardly said anything so far, and now suddenly...

375, Nameless Dungeon Traveler

Be careful. These guys usually blend in with the general public.

―――――――

The dungeon debriefing session for the entire nation is over.

After 8pm, Meiko has not returned.

Moreover, there is no contact on her smartphone.

The parents of the Yotsuya family were greatly upset by the whereabouts of their daughter, who had just started high school, recalling the recent dungeon incident.

They hurriedly contacted Baba and learned that she was not in the dungeon.

In addition, they contacted the school and asked them to investigate if anyone was with them using the application [Ruin].

However, the investigation comes up empty when no one is with him.

On the other hand, Baba, who received such a call, wondered what to do.

He was not sure what to do.

The other party was a high school student, albeit just starting out, who might be going out with friends for karaoke.

The lack of contact could also be because the battery on his phone had run down. This is a common occurrence with smartphones that can play games.

While making such common-sense deductions, I also think that kidnapping is a possibility.

Meiko became very famous for her return from the dungeon.

It is safe to assume that most of the netizens know her name.

Meiko is adorable, and it is not surprising that those who like Lolita would take her home.

Crime has been drastically decreasing due to the fear of karma, but the crazy ones are crazy, so karma doesn't matter to them.

So, what should we do?

Baba thought.

For now, Baba went to his friend.

"Reiko, I think Meiko is missing, do you know anything about it?"

The woman called Reiko stopped typing on the keyboard, spun her chair around, and turned to face him with a furrowed brow.

She was a beautiful woman in a white coat, but always unhealthy looking with dark circles under her eyes. She is a sorry beauty who sometimes smells like unwashed dog. Today, she is a safe bet for the day.

She is called "Scientist A" or "Professor" in some circles. In a very narrow circle.

"Meiko? What do you mean?"

"She hasn't come home yet. I can't seem to reach him on his cell phone.

"That's strange, Meiko was looking forward to the government's announcement today."

The professor looks at his watch and makes a face like it's a delicate time.

"Speaking of which, they haven't sent Ruin yet today."

"Oh, what's that? I've never received a Ruin from Meiko."

"Well, I've been talking to you on Ruin a lot.

"Why?

Baba, to his surprise, found out the truth.

Meiko was so cute that she liked her enough wanting to sleep with her as a cuddle pillow.

What a nettle.

While Baba is in a state of mild shock, the professor raises his eyebrows in concern and groans.

"Hmmm, I'm worried. I hope there's nothing wrong..."

"Ha! Yes, I know!"

"If the police's initial response is not good, call your superiors. Tell them that you're the world's first person to return from the dungeon and that you're extremely valuable, and they'll move quickly.

"Yes, that sounds good."

Thus, the police quickly moved in, and by the end of the day it was learned that Sasara Sasara and Ruru Nagare, who were also in the same class, were also missing.

However, it was not immediately clear where the three had disappeared to, or whether there was any connection between their disappearances in the first place.

On the other hand, the image of the three at the cherry blossom shrine, sent by Ruru to a friend in Kismia, immediately began to spread abroad through social networking sites.

It took some time before the wave was reimported to Japan.

The reimported Winster-ei photos of Sasara, Ruru, and Meiko would then cause an uproar on the Internet, contributing to the progress of the investigation.

Excerpts from some of them.

[Sad News] Our Angel is Missing [Seeking Leading Information].

1, Nameless Meiko Believer

Moved from the thread about the dungeon.

We have received information that our angel, Meiko Yotsuya, has gone missing!

The source is from a communication network that was circulated to a sister in the same class as Meiko-sama. The leak is her brother.

The information seems highly accurate.

2, Nameless Meiko Believer

[Incident history.]

Today, April 11, Meiko-sama went out for her usual training at 6:00 a.m. and has not returned home until around 8:00 p.m. The current time is 10:00 p.m. At the present stage, it is 22:00.

It seems that he did not go to the Blue Sky Training Dojo today, where he used to show up every day.

We cannot be sure, but it seems highly likely that something happened between 6:00 and 10:00 AM.

Two of his classmates, a girl he always trains with and a returnee girl, are also missing.

We are seeking information on sightings of these individuals, as well as any suspicious vehicles or persons.

3, Nameless Meiko Believer

At any rate, if it was an abduction, the perpetrator should go to hell.

4, Nameless Meiko Believer

No objection.

5, Nameless Meiko Believer

No objection.

6, Nameless Meiko Believer

God curse my abductor.

7. Nameless Search Party

This is chaos, isn't it?

I'm going to cooperate properly, but is this a safe thread?

8, Nameless Meiko Believer

Welcome.

Please cooperate with us.

9, Nameless Search Party

With all these special features on karma on wide TV shows and such, a guy with positive karma won't bother to do anything negative.

Or the desperate negative ones...

10, Nameless Searchers.

No, I don't get it, even the positive guys?

A self-disciplined businessman might have gone crazy over Meiko-tan's cuteness.

11The nameless search party

It's certainly possible.

12, Nameless search party

It hasn't been ruled an abduction yet.

I mean, I don't want to believe that.

13, nameless search party

Maybe he's in a dungeon somewhere.

14, nameless search party

Where are they going to go when the Self-Defense Forces have sealed off the area?

15, nameless search party

Maybe a dungeon that hadn't been found yet?

16. Nameless search party

That's not out of the realm of possibility, but Meiko's running course is on a riverbed.

I don't think there's any dungeon that hasn't been found in that area.

17, nameless search party

Perhaps it appeared in a private yard or inside a house and something happened to discover it?

18, nameless search party

At any rate, the police will be on the case, so let's hope security cameras or something will tell us something.

446, Nameless Meiko Believer

Damn, it's been three days!

What are the police doing!

447, Nameless Search Party.

It was on the TV news this morning.

448, Nameless Search Party

No wonder the thread started to grow this morning.

449, nameless search party

The Self-Defense Forces garrison at the Little Girl Labyrinth is looking kind of deadly, too.

450, nameless search party

Well, she's the one who helped keep the death toll to a minimum.

From their point of view, she's more of an angel of salvation than we are.

451, nameless search party.

Hey, great information! Look at this!

->->-><Image at the Cherry Blossom Shrine

452, nameless search party

Huh? What's with these three angels?

453, nameless search party

Aren't these two of her classmates who went missing on the same day as Meiko?

454, nameless search party

I guess so.

There was a theory that this foreign girl was the culprit, but since Meiko is smiling like this, it doesn't look like the culprit.

455, Nameless Meiko Believer

＞454, Nameless Meiko Believer There is no way this cute girl could do anything to Meiko-sama!

456, Nameless Meiko Believer

Excellent, this is a nice job, you've done an impressive job.

Where did 451 get this image?

457, Nameless 451

It was sent to me by a foreign friend.

This fucking cute girl is the first returnee from the dungeon, right? How can I marry her? he asked.

458, nameless searcher.

Why would a foreigner have a picture like that?

I mean, kill the foreigner.

459, nameless search party

It seems to be spreading abroad.

Also, forgive him! He's a Lolita lover, but he's a good guy at heart!

460, nameless search party

Haah!

461, nameless search party

Maybe this foreign girl sent it to her foreign friend?

462, Nameless Searchers.

Well, that would be the case.

Whatever the case, let's provide this image to the police.

463, Nameless Meiko Believer

We'll locate this place too!

464, Nameless Meiko Believer

Yes, sir!

465, Nameless Meiko Believer

We've identified it.

This is a shrine in the middle of Kazami Mountain.

466, Nameless Search Party

Meiko believers are excellent, aren't they!

467, Nameless Meiko Believer

I went there when I was little and took pictures from the same angle.

I can't climb it now; I'm in training with Meiko-sama, so I'll get there eventually.

468, Nameless Search Party.

I will report that information to the police as well.

469, Nameless Meiko Believer

Wait! I'm not training with a guilty conscience!

470, Nameless Search Party

I'm not reporting what happened to you!

471, Nameless Search Party.

What? I'm going to report that as well.

472, nameless search party.

Eh!
