Satsuki-chan’s reaction had me feeling uneasy, so I decided to check my own status as well.
I’d already had a pretty good idea of what I was going to find, but sure enough, it seemed that everything was sealed within this Selection Zone.
“In this domain, every ability and skill related to attacking is sealed. Basically, if you want to make it through this place, the only way forward is to complete whatever challenges I give you.”
It wasn’t just me. Everyone else opened their own status screens and fell silent in shock.
Apparently, seeing the word “SEALED” right there in front of your eyes did a lot more psychological damage than you’d expect.
“It’s no good. Sure enough, I can’t use them.”
Shion-san tried activating one of her offensive skills just to test it, but it seemed to be completely nullified.
Come to think of it, I’d been fooled by this kind of status manipulation once before, when I fought the AI Hero. I guess actually testing things for yourself really is important.
In that case, I’d try one thing too.
“Clairvoyance!”
Yeah. Nothing. I couldn’t see a damn thing.
It really was unusable.
…Huh?
Wait a second. Raika-san had said that she sealed all offensive skills, hadn’t she?
【Clairvoyance】 wasn’t an offensive skill. And, as a matter of fact, Satsuki-chan had been able to use her Appraisal skill just fine.
“Oh, and since you, Daishi-kun, have a tendency to get yourself into all sorts of dangerous situations, I went ahead and sealed everything you have.”
“…”
Ah. So that was how it worked.
Now that I looked closely, even my name had been sealed. Apparently, I wasn’t even Ajiri Daishi anymore.
…
Wait, WHY though?!
No, this was not the time for an internal retort. I had a duty to my beloved viewers. I needed to calmly and solemnly inform them of the tragic state I currently found myself in.
| > This situation is different from what happened with the shitty Hero. > Looks like everything really is sealed. > I mean, I can understand why they’d seal everything for the old man. > His current 【Clairvoyance】 can apparently see things he really shouldn’t be seeing. > Maybe it’s because he can use it to launch mental attacks? > I wanted him to expose Raika-san’s *○○*. > Officer, it’s these guys. > The old man is basically a walking weapon at this point. > His very existence is dangerous. > Come to think of it, his name is pretty damn imposing too. |
“Hey, viewers! That’s enough trash-talking my name!”
Well… they did have a point.
In a way, my current 【Clairvoyance】 really was dangerous. It could see “everything”. Past lives, past events, all sorts of things.
…Ah. I had forgotten something incredibly important.
Ever since my skill level had reached its current level, I’d never actually used 【Clairvoyance】 at full power to look at Mina-chan’s, Shion-san’s, or Satsuki-chan’s statuses!
What an idiot I was!
All right! Once we got out of here safely, I’d take my time examining their statuses—
Or rather, all the embarrassing bits of their pasts…
“You’re making an incredibly stupid face right now, but can I tell you the conditions already, Ajiri Daishi-kun?”
“Uh… Ah! Y-Yeah!!”
“The condition is extremely simple. I just want you to eat the food I’ve painstakingly prepared here. Nothing more.”
“Huh? That’s all?”
“Yep. And I want you to enjoy every last bite!”
…
Did she just say… every last bite?
Raika-san?
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second, Raika-san. When you say “all” the food here, exactly how much are we talking about? Just looking at it, there’s already…”
“Ah, right. Well, to put it roughly, I’d say there’s enough here to feed about one thousand adult men.”
Satsuki-chan’s reaction was perfectly understandable.
There was absolutely no way the rest of us could finish this amount of food. Not with just the people we had here. Our stomachs would burst long before we managed to clear the table.
“Actually, we might be able to do it. Let me see… I’m pretty sure I can use that skill…”
Huh? Mina-chan?
Do you have some ridiculous skill that lets you devour an entire mountain of food?
I guess once you reach the level of a High Priestess, you get access to all sorts of convenient skills.
“Ah, yes. This should work. I can use 【Anesthesia】.”
Mina-chan checked her status screen again and revealed the name of the incredible skill she thought might get us out of this situation.
Except… Anesthesia?
As in that anesthesia? The thing that numbs your nerves and eliminates pain?
Can you even use that here? And how exactly are you planning to use it?
“I’ll use this skill to numb Daishi-san’s satiety center, then convince his brain to think, ‘Since when did you get the idea that you were full?’ That should do the trick!”
There’s no way that’s going to work! What are you talking about?!
This is a physical problem! There’s no way all that food is going to fit inside my stomach!
Mina-chan really is kind of an idiot sometimes, isn’t she?
A fake saint with a surprisingly airheaded side?
“By the way, if you throw up, you’ll have to start all over again. So make sure you eat everything cleanly, without leaving a single bite.”
“T-this is hell…”
I couldn’t help muttering those words.
When we first entered the Selection Zone, this place really had seemed like heaven. All those dishes stretching as far as the eye could see were surely masterpieces, each one more delicious than the last.
Being able to eat nothing but your favorite foods until you were completely satisfied? That really would be happiness. But things were different now.
The instant we were told to eat every single one of those dishes, paradise had transformed into hell. Despite the dazzling appearance and peaceful atmosphere, our current situation was actually pretty damn hopeless.
…Munch, munch…
…Chew, chew…
Hm?
I could hear chewing sounds coming from somewhere hidden behind one of the mountains of food.
But Satsuki-chan, Mina-chan, Shion-san, Raika-san, and I were all gathered here right now.
The only one missing was…
Ah! Ryunosuke, the mini dragon, wasn’t here!
Could those munching sounds possibly be…?
“Oh. That idiot Ryunosuke’s already started eating.”
Oh, I see.
Ryonosuke is a dragon, after all. Maybe he could actually put away quite a lot of food. Still, there was no way something that size could possibly finish everything in this place.
I couldn’t get my hopes up.
Maybe I should just think of it as having two extra ordinary-sized men who could eat a little more than average.
Huh?
“GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! IT’S ALL SOOOO GOOOOOOD!!!!”
| > Ryunosuke-saaaan!! > He’s getting huge! > Huh? He’s already medium-sized! > Wasn’t that dragon an Ancient Dragon to begin with? > Oh, right! > Don’t tell me he’s regaining his true power every time he eats!? > Could it be… is he actually going to polish the whole lot off in one go? |
Ryunosuke-samaaa!
What an unexpected wild card.
While we were busy making a fuss, that Ancient Dragon—growing larger by the moment—had already devoured about half the food in the room in a single sitting.
