Chapter 105

Nihonium Dungeon, 5th floor .

Inside the snowy dungeon, I was hunting down the Red Skeleton which was three times faster than usual .

Seeing as the speed was incredibly fast, the chances of hitting them with bullets were slim .

Compared to the other monsters, most of the time I would be able to hit with 100% accuracy, but for this monster it would drop down to around 90%——which for every 10 bullets shot, 1 bullet would miss .

[Ku!] (Ryouta)

After missing a shot from the already quick Red Skeleton, it further increased in speed to the point where my hands couldn’t keep up to it’s speed .

Although the hit rate would be around 90%, but the second round of 10 bullets would drop that percentage to about 70% .

However it’s still high despite dropping, plus it wasn’t a problem when using the Infinite Lightning Bullet .

[Not good, I can’t afford to be complacent . ] (Ryouta)

As long as I repeatedly fire the bullet it would eventually hit——was what I thought when I hurriedly scraped that mentality and thought of another way .

It was the same when I had my HP and Endurance on S which allowed me to take almost no damage at all, just because it was Rank S I thought I was invisible . This habit of mine occurs whenever I obtained a new power, resulting in me being complacent .

That is indeed a bad habit, and I have to figure out a way to fix that habit .

Thus, when I reached the 10 shot and 9 bullets hit, I started counting in my heart .

A sudden surprise attack came from within the wall which was a specialty of Nihonium, and without panicking I avoided the attack and fired at it .

With that it was 10 out of 11, 90 . 9% accuracy .

I picked up the seeds and my MP was increased by 1, and I continued walking .

This time the surprise attack came from above the ceiling, I avoided and fired another bullet .

11 out of 12, which increased it to 91 . 6% .

Picking up the seed my MP further increased by 1 and I was being targeted by a new Red Skeleton, I panicked and missed my shot!

The counter dropped to 10 out of 12 . With just 1 mistake the hit rate dropped down to 83 . 3% .

[Fuu… . . ] (Ryouta)

It instantly decreased, and if I were to panic once more I’m sure it would further decrease .

I took a deep breath, and after calming down I continued searching for more monsters .

When they appeared I defeated them, sometimes barely being attacked I managed to defeat them .

Keeping count of the hit rate in my heart whenever it increases .

Strangely, when I was keeping count of the hit rate, my concentration skills increased . Not only that, it also increased my motivation .

Both my concentration and motivation .

Together with my high stats, having both of these abilities increased made me peerless inside Nihonium’s 5th floor .

When noon came, my MP was increased from C to B, and my hit rate was increased to an astounding 98% .

☆

After exiting Nihonium, I decided to head back home for now .

[Thank you for the hard work . ] (Elza)

[Welcome home nanodesu~] (Emily)

Elza and Emily were inside the first floor’s garage .

They were sitting across the table while sipping on black tea .

On top of the table, there were sandwiches and bite sized sweets prepared . Even though it was only noon but the atmosphere seemed like it was tea time .

[Ryouta-san, how about joining us for a cup of tea?] (Elza)

[I’ll brew more tea for you desu . ] (Emily)

After Emily said that, she walked up the staircase with her pittar patter footsteps echoing around .

Leaving just the two of us, I sat next to Elza and reaching out for a piece of sandwich, I chewed it with delight .

The sandwich was spread with strawberry jam, with a balance of sweetness to it, leaving my exhausted body full of energy .

[H, how is it?] (Elza)

[Un, what is?] (Ryouta)

[The… . . taste of the sandwich . ] (Elza)

[It was extremely delicious, as I’ve almost used up my entire energy, this was a really good meal to boost it back . ] (Ryouta)

[… . . Yay . ] (Elza)

For some reason Elza did a guts pose near her chest .

[Why did you suddenly do a guts pose?] (Ryouta)

[Eh? Uh that’s because—–] (Elza)

[Because that sandwich was handmade by Elza-san nanodesu~] (Emily) (TLN: Emily Omega GJ!)

Emily brought my black tea from the second floor and sat down .

[So it wasn’t made by Emily?] (Ryouta)

[Yes desu, Elza and I both made it together nodesu . The piece that Yoda-san ate was 100% made by Elza-san nanodesu . ] (Emily)

[Heeh~] (Ryouta)

I devoured another piece of sandwich which was spread with the same jam .

[Un, it is indeed delicious . It was normal that whatever Emily made was extremely delicious, but apparently Elza is good at cooking too . ] (Ryouta)

[T, thank you . ] (Elza)

Elza’s cheeks were dyed red .

[Uhmm…should I… . make some more for you… . next time…] (Elza)

[You’re gonna make some for me? I would be glad to taste more of your cooking . ] (Ryouta)

[I’ll make more! I’ll make lots and lots of delicious dishes for you . ] (Elza)

Elza was in a high spirit, I’m excited at what she would make next .

Drinking the black tea that Emily poured for me, in addition with the sandwich, my energy was rejuvenated .

[Oh right, just in case should I register right now . ] (Ryouta)

As I was saying it, I took out my passbook and handed it to Elza .

[Register?] (Elza)

[Yeah, I want to try and grasp the numbers of this morning’s hunt fest . ] (Ryouta)

I would like to record down this morning’s hit rate .

Though it was just an increase of hit rate but it gave me a sense of achievement and that felt good .

Plus when I feel good about it my concentration would be affected, which would make me want to try even harder, resulting in me trying not to miss a single shot and getting a 98% of accuracy .

I would like to do the same afterwards .

By grasping the numbers, I wanted to see what would happen by gaining a small sense of accomplishment .

Until yesterday I had a great sense of achievement, and wrote it down after finishing, feeling glad to see the number increased by so much . Although that was good, but it sort of got into my head .

Since I kept on focusing on increasing my power this entire day, I thought that maybe I should’ve earn more as well .

[I understand, please wait for a moment . ] (Elza)

Elza received my bank passbook and registered .

[I have kept you waiting, the balance has increased . ] (Elza)

[Increased? Didn’t it decrease?] (Ryouta)

[It has increased, by about 500k . ] (Elza)

[Eh?] (Ryouta)

For a second I had a [Why?] moment .

I have not earned anything since last night . I decided to record it because there was a possibility that something was deducted this morning from doing stuff .

Although it should be reduced and not increase, but why……

[It’s true that it has increased by nearly 50k, The nominal is… . . Indole?] (Elza)

[It’s the name of a city nanodesu . ] (Emily)

[……Aaah, the taxes . ] (Ryouta)

I was relieved .

I was told that Indole would sent me some taxes .

I didn’t know it came so early .

[Is it taxes?] (Elza)

Elza tilted her neck .

Thus, I explained to her about what happened in Indole till the very end .

[I see, so that’s why you have taxes, but that’s amazing that you would earn just by doing nothing . ] (Elza)

[Now that you mention, it does seem amazing . ] (Ryouta)

By not doing anything, that sounds good .

Well, it was a legitimate remuneration as I tried to save Indole’s dungeon plus i doubled the dungeon’s drop, so by having unearned income was certainly not weird .

Money would continued to flow from Indole even if I were to quit working .

It was similar to winning a lottery, I could build apartments and rent those out to earn more incomes, and buy lots of stocks to live a luxurious life .

Being similar to such lifestyle, I was sort of happy .

[Hoee… . . Just like that money comes in . As expected of Yoda-san, you could live with just the taxes alone nanodesu . ] (Emily)

[Well I’ll still be going into the dungeon, it’s just that this would continue to enter . ] (Ryouta)

[That would be even more amazing desu!] (Emily)

[——-Aah . ] (Elza)

Suddenly, Elza clapped her hands as if remembering something .

[What’s wrong?] (Ryouta)

[There is another payment again……Wow, this is amazing . ] (Elza)

[What’s happening exactly?] (Ryouta)

[It’s a refund . Ryouta’s tax amount for this year’s purchases exceeded 30 Million, so the tax will drop slightly . Since it happened just yesterday, so this was the remainder . ] (Elza)

[It decreased? Is it not going to rise?] (Ryouta)

After explaining, Elza returned me the book as though she was used to it .

The deposit itself was 20k Piros, it wasn’t a huge amount .

[Yes, it will go down . Does the city where Ryouta-san went to went up?] (Elza)

[If you’re talking about city… . . Yeah something like that . ] (Ryouta)

This was running a progressive tax rate, if you earn to a certain extent, it was often that you would lose that amount with the increasing taxes .

It was the same when I was still a student .

Taxes up to 1 Million Yen per year are not taxable, but if you exceeded 1 Million Yen then would you be charged with taxes .

[For Shikuro, when purchases rise, taxes would fall . As the adventurers would always dive into the dungeon . ] (Elza)

[I see . ] (Ryouta)

The person herself understood this really well, as I do not know what the secondary effect would be .

The recorded 20k Piros that was recorded in my passbook was quite the small amount .

All this while I’ve been piling up 20k bags, it gave me a great sense of accomplishment
