It showed...a tapir.

More specifically, a person wearing a tapir costume.

I didn’t recognize that costume in particular, but it had a familiar air to it—probably because of Shu. Well, him or Carl, maybe.

“Oh yeah, I think Shu actually told me about this.” He’d mentioned that there was a Superior in Legendaria who also wore a costume all the time. If I recalled correctly, the name was ZZZ. So, this person in a tapir costume must’ve been—

“Hello. I’m Doraemon.”

Whoops, my mistake.

Seriously, though...what the hell was that introduction? Honestly, it didn’t even work as a joke.

“You should only say that if you’re dressed as a cat. Or a tanuki, at least.”

“Are you an idiot...?”

“Even here I have heard the name ‘Doraemon’ quite often.”

We gave various responses, and the self-proclaimed Doraemon nodded.

“Yes, you’re right. I’m not Doraemon. I’m ZZZ. Overlord Acedia. Good job. Yaaay. I like dorayaki, though. It’s great that we have it here too.”

The tapir...or rather, ZZZ spoke like he was delirious, or maybe as though he was just barely awake. I felt like I was listening to someone who’d pulled a bunch of all-nighters in a row and was now in a really unstable frame of mind.

But...

“By the way, if anyone here has Truth Discernment, let me ask you: did it work?”

“...Huh?” Gerbera tilted her head, then opened her eyes in surprise.

I’d heard that the hunter grouping’s Trap Hunter was a job focused on setting up traps, but it also had a low-level Truth Discernment meant for trap finding.

Her reaction told me that it didn’t activate when ZZZ had used the obviously fake name.

“Okaaay, I’m now gonna explain that and also the other rules of Dreamland. Explanations are a pain, but it’s a condition for using a skill. If only I could let someone else do it. Too bad it’s gotta be me... What a pain, such a paiiin... I’m broadcasting to all of you at once, but it’s still a paiiin...”

ZZZ took a pillow out from somewhere and buried his face in it. He clearly wasn’t into this. But then he resumed talking like it was something he was being forced to do.

“First, in Dreamland sense-based skills don’t work right. I mean, it’s a dream, so yeah. Do your best with your own mundane senses. You’re in a dream, so you don’t have a sense of pain, taste, or smell, but you don’t have to eat anymore. It won’t have any taste anyway. But you do have the sense of touch. And sight. And hearing. But this isn’t a lewd dream. Nobuta, you peeerv.”

Where the hell did that come from?

Even if I wanted to say that out loud, he was talking too fast to give me a chance. For someone who obviously wasn’t enthusiastic about this explanation, he was talking nonstop.

Or maybe he just wanted this to be over with?

“Next, you can’t bring anything that doesn’t have a mind. Well, Embryos are fine even if they’re just things, but normal gear just looks like it’s there and doesn’t actually exist. It’s like ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes,’ but reversed.
