Day 437[]


Day 437

Rumors began spreading since last night.

Just thinking normally, Benitama-sized gems are usually treasured. Failing to remember that, we neglected to take any measures to hide it.

Because of Opushii's ability I was used to seeing huge gems and giant jewelry items dropped in 【God's Age Dungeons】 so, as I reflect on the fact that my own senses had become a bit strange, measures were promptly taken after that.


I can not take any measures to erase its traces now, but it is possible to cover it up.


The rumor turns into a silly story without any trouble, by means of talking about jewelry-like beasts heading off somewhere else, spreading gossip that changed the beasts into something like a snake or a bird.

Well, there were still many witnesses, but if rumors and lies increases with new stories coming in one after the other, it is disgustingly hidden in the truth.


In this world, a thing is more believable if it is loudly shouted just because it comes from a strong voice.

There is no doubt that it is a necessary capability in the information society to be able to calmly see the truth, but as long as everyone is deceived, it can be profitable.


Well, there are still some people who will try to raid us after figuring out the truth, it would be okay if only to taste such excellent people.


Oh, that might make it possible to use Benitama as bait for fishing for excellent enemies.

Well, turning down the ills makes the rest a blessings.

Let's go with that. We tried to create a target of Benitama who is resting in a specialized hut because of its physique, interweaving a little bit of truth into the rumors and lies.

I am talking to Benitama himself, and as a countermeasure against thieves there is a [Devil] clone body to infec them with parasites, so it will be settled in that way.


Anyway, I spent the whole day taking it slow.

There are many sightseeing spots in the giant kingdom «Colossus · Titan».

“四百三十七日目”

 昨夜広まり始めた噂。

 普通に考えて、ベニタマサイズの宝石は普通に財宝である。それを失念し、対策を怠ったのは明らかな失態だった。

 オプシーの能力で巨大な宝石は見飽きていたり、【神代ダンジョン】で巨大宝石がドロップ品として出てくる事もあったので、感覚が可笑しくなっていたのだと反省しつつ、対策は迅速に行った。


 その全てを消す事は俺にも出来ないが、塗り潰す事は可能である。


 宝石のような獣は何処かに向かったとか、蛇だったとか鳥だったとか姿形を変化させた噂話を広めるなどの手段で、噂は呆気なく突拍子のない話に変わる。

 まあ、目撃者は多数居るのだが、嘘の噂が尾鰭を増やしながら増えれば真実など呆気なく隠されるものだ。


 この世の中、声が大きいとそれだけで嘘でも信じてしまうモノである。

 真実を冷静に見極める事は情報社会で必要な能力なのは間違いないが、今回ばかりは皆騙されてくれれば儲けもの。


 まあ、それでも真実を見極めて襲撃を仕掛けて来る輩もいるだろうから、そういった優秀なのは美味しく頂ければいいだけか。


 おや、そうなると、優秀な敵を見極める釣りの餌として使えるかもしれない。

 うむ、禍を転じて福となす。

 それでいこう。嘘の噂に少しだけ真実を織り交ぜ、その体格から専門の小屋で休んでいるベニタマを狙えるようにしてみた。

 ベニタマ本人にも話はしているし、対策として分体を【寄生】させた悪魔が控えているので、どうにでもなるだろう。


 とりあえず、今日一日はゆっくりと過ごした。

 巨人王都≪クロニュソス・ティタン≫にはまだまだ観光地になる場所は多いのだ。
