New Year’s Bonus.

The next day, when I wake up, I start with the usual daily routine.

I feed the chickens and collect the eggs, I look over the fields and sprinkle water.

The formulated pesticide which I prepared seems to be still all right.

After that, I eat breakfast.

Finis.h.i.+ng the meal, I go for wholesale eggs.

As it is, I go to the government office.

Why am I going to the government office?

It is because the application to Seeker is done at the government office.

Not only in j.a.pan, it is the country that manages the dungeons, the government is doing it.

For that reason, the country also carries out the management of the Seekers.

It's easy to become a Seeker.

If you apply to be a Seeker at the government office, you can almost immediately become a Seeker.

Well, it costs a little money, but it seems that this is to make it difficult for minors to become a Seeker.

In the case of applying to be a Seeker, it costs 50,000 yen.

Yup, it's expensive.

Even for a member of the society 50,000 yen is expensive.

It's a no for high school students, even to college students is tough.

Moreover, I the case of an underage, it is not good unless you obtain permission from parents, it's getting harder to become a Seeker.

For that reason, the number of middle and high school students that are Seekers is overwhelmingly small.

Well, because the world becomes noisy when it is not in this way, there is no help for it.

It's remembered in the world, but there are some stupid people.

It is an animal protection group.

They appeal for the protection of monsters, as monsters appearing in the dungeon are just animals.

What on earth are they thinking?

Monsters harm not only humans but also creatures on the ground, so it's inevitable the annihilation of the monsters for its safety.

Well, it seems that they are not a member of all animal protection group, I think that it's the same mistake because these people are not suppressed.

The office is open!

Okay, will I apply for it?

I wholesaled eggs and came to the government office, but I was waiting in the car because it wasn't open.

I get off the car and go into the office.

Ookay, the Seekers' department is, is, there?

I went to the window for the application for Seeker.

At such occasion, in anime and manga there is a quarrel with other Seeker, however, there is no such template.

The reason is simple, there are policemen stationed.

Of course, not ordinary policemen, they are policemen who went into the dungeon and have killed a monster.

Otherwise, just a policeman cannot match a Seeker.

The difference between a Seeker who kills monsters and gained power and an ordinary person (including masters of martial arts) is like adults and children, no, like elephants and ants.

Anyhow you can break concrete with bare hands.

When I watched in a TV program a building being dismantled by one person without a tool, I thought what kind of person was him.

But, it was found that it was a gossip without any annoyance with the later information.

So, those who are coming to apply for Seeker are just ordinary people.

Because a civilian cannot oppose a policeman with experience as Seeker and is arrested immediately as soon as you make an uproar here, so nothing happens.

Even so, there is nothing as absolutely.

There seem to be stupid people without brain who doesn't know such thing, making an uproar and taken care of by the policemen.

So, such people cannot pa.s.s the application to Seeker, they sink without permission and got found and caught.

It becomes a grave offense that a person without the qualification of a Seeker goes into the dungeon.

Even if it's attempted, just trying to submerge is definite for going to jail.

There is no suspended sentence.

However, if you dive without knowing that is a dungeon, you will be found innocent.

Anyhow, it's because you cannot judge whether the dungeon is a dungeon or just a cave unless you dive it.

So, in case it is a dungeon you have to report it, but in the present conditions that the number of dungeons is too large to be managed by the country.

In the end, if the risk of the dungeon is low, it will be left unattended.

Once, it seems that the guards can be attached so that ordinary people do not get in, but it's limited to cases where there are a lot of people.

If there is no room for people, it will be closed off.

So, even if the dungeon is in my garden, it will be blocked and will be over.

But, if I said that I will manage it instead, probably I think that I will make it, but I wouldn't know if I don't talk about this.

Ah, the credential of Seeker is taken safely.

Then, I also talk about the thing in the garden.

"Excuse me, can I have a minute?"

"Yes, is there anything you need?"

"Yes, actually a dungeon may have appeared in my garden."

"Another, is it?"

"Another?"

"Yeah, that's right. This time, a dungeon was discovered a week ago. To be honest I'm troubled because I do not have enough hands."

"*sigh* is that so?"

"Yeah, that's right. So, where is the place?"

"The place is…"

I tell my address, and teach the place of the hole in the garden.

"Understood. Well then, I will dispatch people later, guide them please"

"Yes, understood"

"But, what would you do if it were a dungeon? We can not go there in the current situation."

"That, could it be me instead who manage it?"

"Eh?"

"Because I think that is faster if I manage it because it's in my garden. I will try to capture it."

"I will be saved here as well, but I can not decide it by myself, will you come again later?"

"Yeah, I don't mind it."

"Then, I will talk about that course of action."

"Please"

I stand up and leave the office.

I was able to take the credential of Seeker.

Next, will I go to supply weapons?

Because there are dungeons, the Seekers have to procure weapons.

For that reason, there is a store to sell weapons.

However, in case of purchase you have to be qualified as a Seeker, if you can't prove it you won't do business.

There is a small weapon shop in this town too.

Even if I say that I never went because I didn't have the Seeker credential. So I don't know what weapons are sold.

I guess I will go and have fun.

That's why I am going to the weapon shop.

I arrived at the weapon shop, but the size of the shop is slightly bigger than a convenience store.

I enter.

Oh!

There is quite a various kind of weapons.

From western swords to katanas, axes, spears, bows, naginatas (TN: j.a.panese halberd, like this), etc.

And not only weapons, they are also selling armors.

As protection, there are armors and helmets too.

There is a lot and it's fun to watch.

I can't, I can't.

I didn't come to be tempted, I came to look for a Tsuruginata.

Tsuruginata, Tsuruginata.

O? There is a Scoop.

There isn't just a simple Scoop.

It's a Scoop for military use.

That is, it has been sharpened so that it can be used as a blade.

I don't know if the store manager is here.

Scoops are famous in some parts as a short range weapon.

It's said to be an all-round weapon let alone killing two birds with one stone, it's three or four birds; good for stabbing, good for slicing, good for striking, and also is good for defending.

Scoop is the best weapon.

Well, I won't use it.

I take my eyes off the Scoop, and look for a Tsuruginata.

Tsuruginata is, there.

However, it's in the corner of the shop.

The price is around 13,000.

I don't know well if it's expensive or cheap.

Whatever.

Is there anything else to buy?

Because for weapon will be good for a while if there is this Tsuruginata, then armor?

If you look closely, there wasn't only s.h.i.+elds, armors and helmets, there was also protector boots and gloves, kote? (TN: gauntlet used on kendo, this) gauntlets? greaves? leg guards?

However, I tried to arrange them and it was completely over budget.

If I will buy it, it has to be highly urgent.

Then, should I protect my head?

That is a helmet.

Looking at this way, it's a helmet (TN: it said ) rather than a helmet (TN: it said 兜, I think is )

Besides, there is that.

It's what it is used by the police.

A helmet with face guard, you can protect your face as well as your head.

This is it.

In addition, I would like to buy this reinforced plastic s.h.i.+eld, but let's give up this time.

Well, Do I finished accounting?

I buy a Tsuruginata and a helmet and leave the store.
