Monster Taming Broadcast

Monster, Iris.

Its main ability was visual sharing.

To put it simply.

It meant I could see what Iris was seeing.

‘Can I hear sounds too?’

I sent Iris out into the distance.

Upon examining the ability further.

I discovered that not only could I share sight, but also the sounds it heard.

Moreover.

If desired, we could share smells too, and the sensations where its tentacles touched were relayed vividly.

It felt like watching a 4D movie.

‘This is closer to sensory sharing than visual sharing.’

I corrected the ability I noted in the Monster Index.

From visual sharing to sensory sharing.

I wasn’t sure if it was a psychic ability or magic.

But regardless, it was quite a useful ability for me.

If I utilized Iris, I could explore the labyrinth safely without risking my life.

After explaining what I had just learned to my assistants, I asked Pururu.

“Ruru, can you see what I’m seeing through Iris right now?”

I decided to leave one Iris here.

If I was the only one who could see the scenes of the labyrinth exploration, my assistants would get bored.

For reference, Iris could also share senses with each other.

“Number 1 Iris. Show me the sight that the other Irises are seeing.”

[Accepted.]

On top of Number 1 Iris’s eyeball, multiple screens were split open.

They were scenes viewed by other Irises.

I should probably look at this instead.

If I shared senses with several Irises at once, it would get dizzying.

You could also zoom in on screens if you wanted to see them in more detail.

While I carefully observed the screen of Number 1 Iris, I asked.

“Risa, can you hear sounds on your screen without sharing senses with the others?”

[Affirmative. Rejection is also possible.]

“Rejection is also possible?”

[Your voice can also be transmitted. Your face can also be transmitted.]

When Number 1 Iris said that, other Irises rushed back around me.

Number 1 Iris was staring at me intently.

The eyes of the other Irises were broadcasting my face.

“Oh. So this is possible too.”

［Oh. So this is possible too.］

［Oh. So this is possible too.］

［Oh. So this is possible too.］

［Oh. So this is possible too.］

Even sounds.

I thought while looking at the Irises.

Perhaps…

If I send one out, could I see another world? Could I communicate with people from another world as well?

I believe the possibility is sufficient.

I should try sending one out later to confirm.

Day 16 in the labyrinth.

Today, I organized an exploration team.

First.

Me, Black Magma Slime, and Number 1 Iris.

We three stayed at the hideout and formed the headquarters team to oversee all teams.

The Black Magma Slime was the strongest among the monsters here, so I kept it as my bodyguard.

［Swoosh~］

Next.

Psycho Clown and Medical Mushroom.

These two were assigned as Team 1 and given the mission to explore and map Passage No. 8.

After all, they originally hailed from Cave No. 8.

［Kirik. Am I the one making the map?］

“Yeah. Clown, you’re smarter than Mushroom.”

［Bleep…］

Team 2 consisted of two members.

Hedgehog Summoner and Dog Spider.

These guys were responsible for the first discovery of the vending machine in Passage No. 7.

I assigned the map-making to the Hedgehog.

［Doom Bar, Doo Doom Bar! I’m the ace of this team, so I’m in charge of the map!］

［Sii?］

Next was Team 3.

Centauress and Jellyfish.

Team 3 was supposed to explore Passage No. 6 where they encountered the Fire Slime, and it was decided that the Centauress would take charge of the mapping.

［Pee!］

［I wanted to stay close to the explorer…］

Then I assigned one Iris to each team.

“One is the reserve team.”

After organizing the teams.

I divided one arm among Team 1, Team 2, and Team 3.

One was an arm I previously severed, and the other two were my left arm I severed that morning.

All arms didn’t have sensory blocking.

They were connected with the restrictions lifted.

At first, it felt a bit awkward, but once I got used to it, it was manageable to handle up to three with my weak body.

Anyway, with this, I laid the groundwork for remote taming.

The monsters picked up my arm and ventured through their respective passages for exploration.

And not long after, I realized that the monsters’ power was weakened even in the space around my severed arm.

It was definitely not because of the Irises.

I was merely sharing my sight through Number 1 Iris; I wasn’t properly sharing senses with the other Irises.

“Psycho Clown. Temporarily restrict the senses of the arm you have.”

─［Kirik. Got it.］

As Psycho Clown explored Passage No. 8, it restricted the senses of my arm,

─［Kirik? I regained strength!］

─［Bleep! Bleep!!!］

The monsters regained their power.

The power reduction was indeed due to my arm.

Having confirmed that, I reconnected the senses of the arm.

After all, there wasn’t much difference when our monsters regained their strength.

They could utilize their power again, so…

While each team was conducting labyrinth explorations.

Our command center was leisurely enjoying a hot spring bath at the pond located in Cave No. 8.

And when we returned to the hideout again.

A support item arrived from Rize.

The support items sent by Rize were a giant crystal ball.

No, it was a crystal ball-shaped house.

Upon looking closely, there was a door attached.

I expressed my gratitude to Rize and entered the crystal ball house to check the inside.

The interior was roughly about 5 pyeong.

It was completely empty without a single placed item, and of course, there was no kitchen or bathroom.

Well, it didn’t really matter if there wasn’t a bathroom.

Black Magma Slime takes care of all the excrement anyway.

Anyway.

Although it was an empty house, I was genuinely fond of it.

“The temperature feels just right. Neither too cold nor too hot.”

After thanking Rize once more.

While I was moving the mattress I had left outside into the house.

─［Stop! Don’t come any closer!］

─［Sii, Sii!］

A panicked voice came from Iris.

The source of the voice was from Team 2’s screen.

─“It’s… eating… excrement…”

─［Oh, oh don’t come here! If you come closer, I’ll dance!!!］

─［Sii! Si Doom Bar! Si Doom Bar!］

In front of the frightened Hedgehog and Dog Spider.

A human-shaped monster approached with an expressionless face.

Half of the face of the approaching humanoid monster was covered with twisted, monstrous masses.

And it was possible to detect the danger level of that monster even through the screen.

It was confirmed to be an A-class, like the Black Magma Slime.

An actual monster with SS-Class Danger Level.
