Chapter 159
Teruru Dungeon, 4th floor .
After putting the bamboo shoots that was dropped by the Bat Slime into the Magic Cart, I head back to the mansion by teleporting .
And that was how I obtained 1 Million Piro today .
There were nothing much going on lately, thus I decided to earn at least a million Piro a day .
If I were to do it seriously, I could technically get more money, but having 1 Million Piro as the benchmark was good enough to sustain the current lifestyle that I’m living .
[Uun, slightly off a million?] (Ryouta)
Mentally calculating the amount in my head, it seems that there’s still a little left to a million . I’ll probably be frustrated to round up the 990k Piro to a million as it would mess up with the entire routine .
Just to be safe, I’ll at least hunt for a few more monsters, as I took out my revolvers and searched for the next victim .
While I was searching for a monster, I saw a party stopped directly in front of me .
Well it’s not that they stopped there on purpose, but it seemed that one person was saying something while the rest showed unsatisfactory faces .
[We left around 100k Piro, so you don’t have to hurry, we only need the drops by tomorrow morning . ]
[ [ [………] ] ]
[Then I’ll head back up first . ]
After the leader-like guy said that, he waved his hands and walked up with a smile .
… . .
Is that so, so it wasn’t overtime .
Although they don’t have to hurry, but he wants the drops to be handed to him by tomorrow morning .
So proceed to overtime, bring your work back and do .
It was a technique often used in my company .
Wiping away the past memories, maybe I should help them a little—-was what I came up with as I walked closer to them .
[Geh! It’s Ryouta・Satou . ]
The guy who wanted to go back saw my face and stopped .
So he knew who I was, then this’ll be a lot more quicker .
Let’s have a word with him, as I was about to open my mouth .
[E, everyone! It’ll be tough but let’s do our best!]
He immediately turned a 180 and went back to his teammates .
What did he say just now? As if caring for his teammates, he forced himself to be enthusiastic before defeating a spawned Bat Slime .
[Alright, let’s do our best . ]
He further raised his enthusiasm .
The guy who tried to take the initiative to leave his teammates ended up having to work overtime .
Since I missed the timing to say a word to the guy, I looked at them for a moment before heading back home .
☆
The next day, Shikuro Dungeon Association .
The Association Chief—–Cell called me over to his office .
[… . . If my memory serves me right . ]
I wasn’t looking at Cell who was sitting down at the opposite end, but the surroundings of the office .
[Wasn’t this place an ordinary looking office when I came yesterday?] (Ryouta)
The office was now revamped into what seemed to be fitting for a King to be in .
[I ordered them to renovate the office . There were some necessary changes . ] (Cell)
[In just one night, you did that?] (Ryouta)
It wasn’t just a light reformation . The room looked like it nearly doubled in size… .
[There were necessary . ] (Cell)
[Is that so . ] (Ryouta)
So as long as you have money, you can do whatever you can? Or is it due to a monster drop?
I don’t know the details, but regardless it’s amazing in it’s own way .
[But that’s surprising . ] (Ryouta)
[What is?] (Cell)
[I figured that you would clearly decorate your office with figures of me, but there’s none of them here . ] (Ryouta)
[… . . ] (Cell)
Cell silently shutted his eyes .
Oii, why did you close your eyes there?
[We, well anyways I’m glad that you’ve come Satou-sama . There’s something I dearly need your assistant in . ] (Cell)
He diverted the topic .
So he does display them… . Well whatever .
[So what sort of request is it?] (Ryouta)
[Umu, there’s two . ] (Cell)
Cell’s facial expression changed .
His facial expression was now in serious mode .
[If you have any free time, I would like for Satou-sama to show his face to each and every floor in the entirety of Shikuro . ] (Cell)
[Just my face? But why?] (Ryouta)
I did not understand the meaning behind Cell’s request .
Just showing my face, it doesn’t make sense to just show up in the dungeon?
[Among the adventurers these days—–especially the leaders, they’ve conspired to {Not getting involved with Ryouta・Satou} . ] (Cell)
[Don’t get involved with me? Did I do something to piss them off?] (Ryouta)
Cell laughed .
It was an unbelievable laugh .
[It was said that it had started after Clifford’s case . ] (Cell)
[Clifford? Oh the wheats . ] (Ryouta)
Cell nodded .
[With just that one case, Clifford’s income has declined at a dangerous level . I’ve tried helping them, but the income went down even further, and all of this was due to Satou-sama intervening . ] (Cell)
[Aah . ] (Ryouta)
[In addition to that, there were also a few cases where Satou-sama helped the leader’s subordinates to break off of their respective families . ] (Cell)
[That was—–] (Ryouta)
[I know, I know . Of course I would know everything regarding Satou-sama . ] (Cell) (Creeps)
I tried arguing, but Cell cut me off with a serious look .
It wasn’t the eyes of a stalker, but was close to that of someone understanding .
[All of them reaped what they sowed . And because of that, people were saying to not be involved with Satou-sama as those who are, would get their punishment . ] (Cell)
Were there so many Black Businesses going on around .
[Last night, just because Satou-sama passed by them, the situation changed . ] (Cell)
[… . . You’re truly a full fledged stalker at this point . ] (Ryouta)
Though he is a stalker, he was still in serious mode .
[As it stands, if we show Satou-sama’s face around, maybe much unexpected things would be solved, so those who are in trouble would temporarily be off for the time being . ] (Cell)
[I see what you mean . ] (Ryouta)
I was wondering why such a thing happened yesterday, but after he explained it, I understood .
[Hence why I want Satou-sama to show his face at various floors in hopes that at least one person would be saved . ] (Cell)
Cell said as he stared straight at me .
[It’s something that can only be done by Satou-sama . ] (Cell)
[I got it . I’ll properly show my face . ] (Ryouta)
I decided to accept the request .
I’ll be careful when going to new floors, and try to widen my range of action even if it’s a little to show myself .
[I thank thee from the bottom of my heart . As I expect from Satou-sama to accept this request . ] (Cell)
[Anyways, you said that there are two request, so what’s the other one?] (Ryouta)
[Umu, it’s about Aurum . ] (Cell)
[What’s wrong with Aurum?] (Ryouta)
[The adventurer hunting over there has recently increased . ] (Cell)
[Adventurer hunting?] (Ryouta) (TLN: Think of them as PK’ers)
That’s the first time I’ve heard of such term .
Though it was a word that was easily understood based on the context .
[It’s easy to get expensive items compared to the volume in Aurum . So instead of hunting for monsters, they would target those who are collecting drops, and take their drops . ] (Cell)
[So basically they’re robbers . ] (Ryouta)
[Yes . Also there’s a problem that is even worse than these robbers, these adventurer hunting occasionally kills people . ] (Cell)
[That is……they can do it huh . With their attitude . ] (Ryouta)
They would just forcibly take their lives if they can’t get the items .
[And these adventurers are armed to the teeth . Most of what they stole from the dungeons were rare items which stabilized their group . Which means—–] (Cell)
[… . . Rare rogue monster’s would come from the adventurer’s corpses] (Ryouta)
As I said that, Cell nodded .
This time, his nod was heavy .
[I want Satou-sama to stop this madness once and for all, this is something that I can only ask from Satou-sama . ] (Cell)
[Only me?] (Ryouta)
[A regular adventurer makes a stable income, which meant that they would specialize in that particular floor . To others, an adventurer who isn’t good would sustain 99% of the time . ] (Cell)
[Aah… . ] (Ryouta)
So it’s different in MMO where the monster and people .
[They’re highly capable, so I can only ask Satou-sama who is willing to work day and night to deal with these situations . ] (Cell)
[Again, please stop stalking me . ] (Ryouta)
I bitterly smiled . Why would you even know what I was doing in the dungeon .
Though I bitterly smiled, I was told that I could not leave it .
[I got it, I’ll somehow manage it . ] (Ryouta)
When I declared so, Cell looked happy, and his face, relieved .
