Earth With Dungeon: Saving the World With an Economic Boom

d many bullets and soldiers.
So we took that direction.
In that case, my black market dealings might cause concern too.”

Without using the budget, the higher-ups considered increasing the defense capability.
It’s certainly reasonable.
Even if Sakimori could conquer the goblin dungeon solo.
He couldn’t stand a chance against a fully armed platoon.

Even if he has the power of a monster-level entity.
It would be enough to satisfy him by allowing him to take on the boss of the abandoned town.
Human ingenuity surpasses the power of dungeon monsters, at least in short-term combat.
But humans are inferior to monsters.

The next negotiation with the monster would likely be a proper discussion, thought Captain Anayama as he scooped up the vanilla ice cream that the staff brought to him with a spoon.

He has had a long association with the Eitai, but in this world, the intelligent and the strong are the ones who survive.

“When it comes to taming stray dogs and wolves, if you’re smart, you choose the wolf,”

He would probably never meet the Eitai again.
Apologies, he said, putting the ice cream in his mouth.

Hmm, it’s cold.

Leaving the outer city, Sakimori’s group leisurely walked through the ruins.
Overcoming debris, with Ooki-kun leading the way.

“Um, are they going to attack us? Is it okay for me to be in the front?”

“I’m too weak for that.
T-Trust in me, Ooki-kun.”

“Yeah, leave it to me, Ooki-kun.”

“When it’s time to use that body of yours, use it as a shield against arrows.”

“Please don’t die from taking a single hit.”

“Awful! Am I a shield?”

Laughter echoed around as the guards teased, and Sakimori sighed.
He’s feeling tired of the hunched posture.
I always suppress my [Aura], as it seems it weakens my presence when not in use.
If he maintains a hunched posture, he appears weak.

But I’m getting tired of it.
As expected, those people seem to be waiting for us.

As we walked through the ruins, passing by the abandoned buildings, I could feel the presence of people hiding in the shadows of various buildings.
[Aura] is wonderful.
Just by circulating [Aura] within my body, there is no consumption, and it can erase one’s presence and sense the presence of enemies.

It’s like thermography, even through walls, I can see my opponent’s figure.
Their sizes vary, but it’s like a small margin of error.

[Sakimori-san, as much as I hate to admit it, normally, using martial skills is necessary to conceal one’s presence and sense enemies.
Besides Sakimori-san, I’ve never seen anyone who can use it passively.]

[Are you bragging, Shizuku-san?]

Shizuku floated in the air and said with an exasperated expression, but there was no trace of boasting.

[I studied hard to suppress mana consumption.
I had secret confidence that it was possible precisely because I had talent in combat.]

Seeing the rarely gloomy girl, I couldn’t help but smile.
Shizuku looking gloomy is cute too.
But he thinks it’s something that happens often

[Well, those kinds of things are always broken.
Anyway, shall we welcome the opponents who are waiting for us?]

Even if you think my technique is original, surprisingly, others can use it too.

One by one, delinquents emerged from the abandoned buildings.
There are 7 in front, 3 in the back, and 12 hiding in the shadows of the ruined building.
They’re quite cautious, keeping their troops hidden.
Moreover, those hiding have taken different floors into account
