Although I Am Only Level 1, but with This Unique Skill, I Am the Strongest - Chapter 152

Chapter 152

In the building of Shikuro Dungeon’s Association, the Guild Chief’s room .

Finishing the investigation of Sulphur rather early, I came here to report my findings .

Clint who came to meet up with me then listened to every last details, stood up and raised his hands forward .

[As I expect from Satou . To be able to finish the investigation so much earlier than I’d expected . ] (Clint)

[I’m just lucky, and I’m blessed with having such reliable friends . ] (Ryouta)

[No no, I would think that if Satou wasn’t there, this would’ve been impossible . Based on your story, the restriction of the level would be detrimental for any high level adventurers . So if a party of veteran adventurers were to venture inside that dungeon, wouldn’t it be bad?] (Clint)

[Even those with weapons would have a hard time . ] (Ryouta)

[Yeap yeap . ] (Clint)

Even though they’ll level up when inside the dungeon, Emily, Celeste, and Eve reported that by the end of the 3rd round, they’ll be around Level 5 . Either way, whenever you enter the dungeon, everyone would be sent to the middle of a ring and they’ll have to solo fight the entire round .

The drop was low too—–For example, the Final F Celeste would also earn the same, truly a dungeon that pretty much chooses people .

[Hence why I’m grateful towards you . With this amount of information, I think I’ll be able to announce the new dungeon to the adventurers as of tomorrow . ] (Clint)

Though he didn’t say it but the words [And tax would increase] showed on his expression, as he was in a good mood .

The secretary that brought the black tea and the mountain of sugar cubes, was pierced with a toothpick and thrown into the mouth of Clint .

As always, just looking at it gives me diabetes .

[For Shikuro, Satou is considered a Lucky Boy . ] (Clint)

[Nn?] (Ryouta)

What’s with that all of a sudden?

[After Satou stayed in Shikuro, the days for Shikuro has been sailing smoothly . We’ve gotten Selen, we’re affiliated with Aurum, and now Sulphur which would attract even more adventurers . Everything happened because Satou is here, and it all happened because Satou was the one who helped us . ] (Clint)

[I just did what I was told, that’s all . ] (Ryouta)

[I wonder about that . By the way, will you accept the annual award this year?] (Clint)

[The annual award?] (Ryouta)

It was my first time hearing such words .

Though based on the words, I could sort of guess what it would be .

[Yes . Various Dungeon Association Chiefs from various cities would also come and attend . This event is to publicize and honor the achievements of people who contributed each year for their respected city . ] (Clint)

[I don’t really mind not…… . ] (Ryouta)

[I would appreciate it if you would come and receive it . ] (Clint)

With a serious expression, he looked at me .

It was strange that the person to give the award would come and ask me .

[If someone were to be honoured by this award, then the adventurers would be excited to see such person . And if that happens—–] (Clint)

[—–Then taxpayers would increase, I see whatcha mean . ] (Ryouta)

In short, to raise the motivations of hard workers . I see, I see .

[Thus why I would appreciate it if you could receive it . ] (Clint)

[If that’s the case, then I’ll take your offer and receive it . ] (Ryouta)

[Thanks! I know Satou would always help us . I know, there are cash to be received during the award, though in a form of a pension . This would also be a source for others to be excited about . ] (Clint)

[I got it, I’ll receive it too . ] (Ryouta)

[Also . ] (Clint)

There’s still more? I thought as I was surprised .

[The mansion that Satou is staying right now, we the Dungeon Association would like to buy over your mansion . Then, Satou would no longer have to pay for any rental or other fees anymore . ] (Clint)

[No wait, it is rather a high price to pay though . I’ve already broke the curse and am living there normally, so the property is mine . ] (Ryouta)

[And also . ] (Clint)

[There’s more! ?] (Ryouta)

Not paying any mind to my remark, Clint continued to speak, basically giving me preferential treatment .

☆

Heading out of the Dungeon Association building, I joined with Alice who was waiting in front of the building .

Crouching beside the building, she was having fun with her 4 friendly monsters .

She looked like a little girl who was playing with her dolls and was invisible to everyone, truly a somber sight .

[Sorry for the wait . ] (Ryouta)

[Done with the report?] (Alice)

[Yeah… . . ] (Ryouta)

[What’s wrong? You’re showing a complex face right now?] (Alice)

[U-un . ] (Ryouta)

I crossed my arms and tilted my head .

To be honest, I’m troubled right now .

There was 1 thing that bothered me which I don’t understand when Clint was giving me extra preferential treatment .

While walking side by side with Alice, I talked about what had happened inside .

[Well, that’s because he wants Ryouta to forever stay at Shikuro . ] (Alice)

[He wants me to stay here?] (Ryouta)

[Yes! I too consulted with various village heads about various things like that . ] (Alice)

Village head . Ah, the village heads at Indole where Alice grew up from .

With Aurum born over there, I was tasked to help out with the village too .

[Prepare a place to live, and many more things to give . Did he not introduce any women?] (Alice)

[… . . He did . ] (Ryouta)

Towards the end, Clint decided to close the story .

Introducing me to a good woman, even mentioning some from the store .

That’s what happened .

Obviously I rejected all of it . I don’t think their personality matches with mine .

[That’s why he wants to cage you, and wants you to stay in this city forever . ] (Alice)

[But why . ] (Ryouta)

[About that… . . Aah . ] (Alice)

Alice suddenly stopped walking .

For some reason, she had a sweet smile while looking forward .

The town of Shikuro, an avenue where various people were walking around .

And amongst the crowd, there were some ‘cool’ looking boys .

There looked similar to when I first met Alice who leave her village, the looks, even the atmosphere around them .

All of them looked like it’s their first time in a city like Tokyo .

[So this is the agricultural city of Shikuro… . . ]

[Let’s do our best!]

[Yeah, Let’s go . ]

It was a pleasant atmosphere to see them cheering for each other .

Though, that wasn’t all .

[I, want to be someone like Ryouta・Satou!]

[Me too . ]

[Me three~]

… . . Heh?

What did they just? They want to be like me?

I looked at Alice from the side, and she was smiling exactly the same as before .

[That’s the first reason . ] (Alice)

[Don’t tell me… . . ] (Ryouta)

[Yes! Every new adventurers respect and idolizes Ryouta . If they come here, then their aspiration to be a great adventurer would be higher . ] (Alice)

I can’t believe something like this happened… . . I didn’t even know about it .

[ [ [Let’s aim for it! Ryouta!] ] ]

The boys were looking at me, making me embarrassed instead .

On top of that, when people around them said things like [Go for it], it made me twice as embarrassed .
