Episode 076 World Disorder (Third Party Perspective)

There was a tense atmosphere in a room that was so large and well-decorated that ordinary people could never reach it.

"What!? American E-rank Alba Dungeon and D-rank Syldra Dungeon triggered a Stampede!?"

"Yes, that's not all. China, France, Russia, not to mention England, a permanent member of the UN, for now it's just C-rank or lower, but there are a lot of dungeon Stampedes all over the world."

In a room of the Prime Minster's Office, Nakatsugawa Satoshi, the 95th Prime Minister, is receiving a report from his subordinates.

Stampede is a phenomenon in which monsters overflow from the dungeon to the outside world and attack, but it occurs about once a year in just one dungeon in each country. The contents of the report is that multiple dungeons are currently triggering a Stampede at the same time all over the world.

"Is that even possible!?"

"There are still many unknown things about dungeons, and research is progressing slowly. It seems that a Stampede did not occur at the same time until now."

His subordinate answers with a mystified face to the Prime Minister who is upset by the phenomenon he does not want to believe.

Noone knows why the Stampede happens, why Dungeon Rebirth happens, or what a dungeon is in the first place. Of course, it could happen, but it was ruled out because it hadn't happened before.

"... What is the situation from our dungeons?"

"I haven't heard of a Stampede so far, but maybe ..."

He doesn't want to hear it, but when the Prime Minister asks his subordinate again, his subordinate was confused by his words, making it difficult to say.

In other words, that's how it is.

-Dondondooon

The sound of knocking on the door echoes as if interrupting the conversation between the Prime Minister and his subordinate.

"Let them in."

"Yes."

When the subordinate who was reporting walked to the door and opened the door,

"I'm sorry!"

A young man rushed in from outside, out of breath, and ran in front of Nakatsugawa.

"Huh ... What's wrong ...?"

He thinks it's probably what he expected, but the Prime Minister asks the man who came in.

"Yes, I got a report that a Stampede happened in a dungeon!!"

"After all."

"Looks like it ..."

When the two of them looked at each other in front of the man who came to report, the young man looked confused without knowing why the two were looking at each other.

As he didn't know what the two people were talking about with each other, it was natural that the young man didn't understand.

"Did I do something?"

"No, it's a different matter. Don't worry."

"H, haa ..."

The young man, who felt somewhat uncomfortable, asked the two of them, but the Prime Minister just closed his eyes and shook his head, which made him even more confused.

"In what dungeon is the Stampede happening?"

"Ah, right, a Stampede is currently known in two places. Hokkaidou's Yukibana Dungeon. And Kyuushuu's Netsugoku Dungeon."

Hokkaidou's Kushiro is famous for its blooming ice flowers, it's Main Stage Dungeon is a snowfield, and Kyuushuu's Sakurajima has a scorching cave dungeon where lava flows through the dungeon.

Both are dungeons that suffer more from the environment than the monsters. Especially the Yukibana Dungeon is C-rank. Naturally, the monsters are also strong. It is a difficult dungeon.

"Are there any signs of 'Dungeon Rebirth'?"

"There are no such reports so far."

"All right ..."

He checks the situation of the Dungeon Rebirth just in case, but it seems that there is no Dungeon Rebirth that is happening at the moment, so he feels relieved.

"So it's two places, D-rank and C-rank ..."

"For the time being, I was notified of two places ..."

In other countries, there are four or five places, and there may be dungeons that are not yet known, but Japan was in relatively minor situation.

"That's right. Anyway, contact the Explorers' Union quickly."

"A strategy to subdue the Shushima Dungeon is also underway ..."

The government has held back the schedule of high-ranked explorers of S-rank or lower in order to gather S-ranked explorers in the Shushima Dungeon and subdue the unknown dangerous monster.

It was a confirmation of whether to direct the explorers to the Stampedes. However, using high-ranked explorers for a Stampede would take a lot of money, effort, and time to re-schedule.

"That's important, but now the priority is right in front of us. I have no choice but to postpone the case of the Shushima Dungeon."

"Is that so. Then I'll get in touch with them right away."

Although it was a tough decision, the former is by far the most important between a place where damage will occur if explorers don't go immediately and a dungeon where damage has not occured so far.

It can't be helped, but the Prime Minister decided to give priority to the Stampede.

"Good. You can go back too."

"Yes, excuse me."

The subordinate and the young man quickly left the Prime Minister's office.

"One thing after another ... like Japan, what will happen to the world ..."

Nakatsugawa muttered to himself, put his weight on the back of his chair, sighed, "Haa ...", folded his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes, and looked up at the ceiling.(TN:And then died of a comma overdose.)

While worrying about the magnitude of the damage that will be caused by this.
