Chapter 040

The scene where Tamamo-chan watches from above was missing at the end of Chapter 38, so I added it.
Thank you for your comments and typo reports.

I collect the scattered loot while watching the four of them stunned. I was able to harvest two large plastic bags from convenience stores full of magic stones and pork.
It was a good idea to prepare many small, folded convenience store bags in case something like this happens. I randomly used bags from several famous chain stores, so it won't lead to identification.
"If I defeat this many, they won't respawn for a while. Can you get back on your own?"
"Ah, yeah, it's fine."
The four of them are still in a daze, but there won't be any more orcs, so they can get out of the dungeon without making any sacrifices.
"Well, take care."
I leave with plastic bags in both hands. Although it's an unsatisfying ending, it would be a waste to leave the loot and go home. I can't convert it into cash right away, but I'll keep them in the lost house. Once I buy weapons and can defeat orcs as a man, I can sell them little by little.
I run to a place where they won't see me and throw the plastic bag into the lost house. Now that I'm light on my feet, I run up into the sky and watch the movements of the four of them.
"For now, the mission is complete. Let's return to the surface. But before that, we need to decide what to report."
"That's right, we need to report the encounter with that beastman, but we don't need to report the whole thing."
The magic skill user agrees with the one-handed sword user's statement. They discuss this and that, but it seems they intend to report that I was the one who started the train and they put it down.
After checking every detail to make sure the lie won't be exposed, they start walking towards the magic circle to return.
"That lie will be exposed soon."
First of all, they don't have the ability to do so. If they did wipe them out, then the question becomes what happened to the loot. If they really did wipe them out, they should have brought back a lot of magic stones.
Generally, in this world, there are skills that can see through lies. The army likely would have people with this skill in the department that handles information.
It depends on whether the superior that receives the report believes it, but I think there's a high chance that they will move to investigate if they feel something suspicious. It's information about a previously unidentified fox beastman. The military would take this seriously.
After confirming that the four had entered the returning magic circle, I went into the lost house. I didn't want to go back and bump into them right away, so I killed time.
I put the bag I had thrown into the house and paid my respects at the Inari shrine. There was no message from the goddess-sama, but it's unlikely that the gods would have anything to announce so soon.
I also harvested tomatoes and cucumbers from the field and ate them. Being able to eat as many vegetables as I wanted, which were delicious even without seasoning, was an extraordinary skill.
About an hour had passed, so I decided to go back. I didn't want to get into close combat with goblins, so I went up to the fifth floor and then turned back into a man. Luckily I was able to return to the surface without meeting anyone.
Now that Tamamo's existence has been discovered by the army, it would be best not to become Tamamo for a while. I will need to approach the military at some point, but I want to think about it after seeing their movements.
