Chapter 143

Level 1 Guy: Chapter 143 – Light and Darkness・Carrots and Wheats

Morning, after raising my Intelligence from B to A at Nihonium Dungeon 6th floor, I went to Teruru at noon to get some vegetables .

Going through the usual routine for the day, I went back to the mansion when evening arrived .

When I came back, following my daily routine, I went to the sub-branch of the shop <Swallow’s Repayment> which is located at one of the rooms of the mansion to update my passbook .

[Welcome home Ryouta-san . ] (Elza)

At the end of the room came Elza standing up and lightly running towards me to greet me .

[I’m back, please calculate for today as well . ] (Ryouta)

[Yes, I’ll have your passbook please . Oh, that reminds me, the purchase of carrots prices have increased . ] (Elza)

[The purchase price of carrots? Why?] (Ryouta)

[As Ryouta-san’s drop quality and reputations are good, recently the prices for it has increased, but people still wanted Ryouta-san’s carrots so the orders have increased . And one of them, Eve-san——Killing Rabbit self-acclaimed that your carrots are the best, hence why the prices and demands have increased . ] (Elza)

I nodded in acknowledgement .

The higher the ranking in drops, the more it influenced the quantity and quality .

And, me having S Drop in all of the category would produce the highest quality and quantity there was in this world .

Among them, it was interesting that Eve alone could push the sales of the carrots .

[Well, you know how Eve is, Rank S when it comes to loving carrots . ] (Ryouta)

[That might be the case——Okay, I’ve recorded today’s income . Today’s earning is 1543298 Piro . ] (Elza)

[Thanks . ] (Ryouta)

1 . 5 Million huh .

Today’s amount was good too .

Oh right .

[Elza, do you have anything else to do after this?] (Ryouta)

[Nothing, as far as I remember, do you need something?] (Elza)

[I wanna celebrate for the demand going up, do you wanna come?] (Ryouta)

[Definitely!] (Elza)

I only briefly asked, but Elza agreed strongly .

☆

A bar, Villa De Edge .

We arrived at the familiar bar where their beer changes daily .

Recently, I have been gaining in popularity, thus the shop owner would guide me to a quiet seat in the back .

The usual bar, and the usual seats .

Elza and I held our beers high as we cheered and drank our beers .

The beer that I ordered was called Coffee Beer .

It came from the lowest floor of a certain dungeon drop, so it wasn’t a regular beer that you can find .

You can taste the nice and bitterness of the coffee and the common hops, so it was one of my favourite beers to drink .

[Cheers for your good work Ryouta-san, thank you so much for your what you’ve done so far . ] (Elza)

[Hm? Why the sudden thank you?] (Ryouta)

[It seems that my performance have improved considerably over the past few weeks thanks to Ryouta-san . ] (Elza)

[Is that the case? Well but it isn’t just me that increased the overall income, right?] (Ryouta)

[Well, Ryouta-san’s drops are amazing in quality and it’s stable too . People who can produce stable quality and quantity are very much appreciated . I asked Master a long time ago, when I was independent, we would bet how many A Drop people can we pull in . ] (Elza)

[I see . ] (Ryouta)

How many A Drop regulars can be secured that can provide both stable quality and quantity .

The amount was strictly dependent on the person’s personality too . Naturally, if the person has a habit of skipping the days of going into the dungeon or if their sick all the time, then the number of times in the dungeon = Drops decreasing .

Nevertheless, A Drop people would be handy as they can deliver high quality drops as long as they defeat the monsters .

[Because of your contributions, I have received a ton of bonuses . Twice or thrice the amount I’d gotten previously . ] (Elza)

[Oooh, that’s really great for you . ] (Ryouta)

As I said so, we knocked our cups again .

On my previous world, I wouldn’t say I earned a lot on my previous company, and I was yearning for a bonus .

[Congratulations to you Elza . ] (Ryouta)

[Thank you so much, Ryouta-san . ] (Elza)

After hearing pleasant compliments, the beer tasted much more delicious .

Drinking the beer, eating some snacks, and chatting with Elza .

It was a good way to end the day off .

[Fuu, what a bummer . ]

While we were drinking, two men went over to the seats next to us .

They both wore adventurer-like uniforms, and they looked like they have just finished their jobs .

[It’s really is a bummer, that the prices of wheat has decreased . ]

Hmm?

[Ryo—–] (Elza)

[Sshh . ] (Ryouta)

Hearing the word [wheat], Elza realized something .

I placed my index finger on my mouth to gesture her to stay silent, and paid attention to their conversation .

[My income has been cut off by 10% . Seriously this Clifford, doing some unnecessary things . ]

[What, can you tell me the reason? Don’t try to cheat me . ]

[Aah . so, those Ryouta Family was told by Clint to help resolve the situation . As it was, the wheat coming from Clifford Family was obviously worse than the Ryouta Family . No wait, I wonder if theirs were really good . ]

[……What you’re saying is, after good quality wheat was produced, the previous producers demand went down?]

[Yeap, that’s right . ]

The man drank the entire beer in one go, and Don! Slammed the glass onto the table .

[It was the same back then, when something happens those Ryouta Family, no Ryouta・Satouwould appear . That bugger would always appear . ]

[Seriously doing unnecessary stuff, this Clifford . If something like that didn’t happen, the prices wouldn’t have fallen . ]

[Seriously man . That bastard Clifford . ]

[Doing extra work for us . ]

[Seems like they have spread the news quickly . Then doing extra things and let the Ryouta Family appear . ]

The man flaunt his beer while complaining .

I see… . . so something like this happened .

The carrot went up, whereas the price of wheat fell .

Two of the items that I was involved in turned out to contrast with each other .

[As expected . ] Elza who was listening to the story said .
