Although I Am Only Level 1, but with This Unique Skill, I Am the Strongest - Chapter 161

Chapter 161

Late at night in Aurum Dungeon’s first floor .

[Damnit! It’s the Adventurer Hunters!]

[If you know about us then hurry up—–]

[I’m sorry but this is as far as you can go . ]

The man who was threatening the adventurer with a rough face had a muzzle pointed at the back of his head, and his face soon tightened .

[Ryouta・Satou!?]

[If you know about me then it’s easier . ] (Ryouta)

[Impossible, that’s too fast . I didn’t even—–]

[What’cha gonna do now? If you leave Aurum as is, I’ll let you off just this once . ] (Ryouta)

I shoved the muzzle further onto his head, as I threaten him with a deep voice tone .

[I, I got it . Please let me go, I’ll never come back ever again . ]

[You sure?] (Ryouta)

[Yes, I promise!]

[Okay . ] (Ryouta)

I lowered my revolver, and the adventurer hunter ran away like a scared rabbit .

I turned behind one last time, and he bit his tongue before disappearing outside of the dungeon .

He probably won’t come back again .

I’ve already gotten used to Aurum, and predicting the [signs of adventurer hunters], I immediately go to the place before they could do anything .

For example, the middle of the night where everyone supposed to be sleeping .

Aurum would notify me beforehand, and waking me up I would immediately head to the scene .

Hence the adventurer hunters were slowly diminishing, and the cases of robberies rapidly dropped .

It’ll eventually be gone .

I kept my revolver, and talked to the adventurer .

[You alright?] (Ryouta)

[a, Aah . Fuu… . . ]

The young adventurer sat there on the spot .

[What’s wrong? Were you hurt by him?] (Ryouta)

[Ah? Ah no, I’m just really tired . Because of the boss’s orders, we had to continue midnight hunting . ]

[Midnight hunting?] (Ryouta)

[Because adventurers wouldn’t be around during midnight, so we could hog all the monsters . ]

[Aah, I see . ] (Ryouta)

I get what the young adventurer was trying to say .

There’s a limit to the amount of monsters spawned in a dungeon—–as in there’s a set limit of monsters per floor .

So, if you defeat 1 monster, the dungeon would spawn another one, but it won’t spawn 2 more . The fact that spawning more than it’s limit has never happened before .

Then, if the amount of adventurers exceeds the amount of monsters, well obviously there will be fewer monsters one can hunt at a time .

Hence why the Dungeon Association prohibits any acts of KS(kill steal) any other adventurer’s monsters .

Which meant that one of the ways to avoid such conflict would be to hunt at midnight .

It’s obvious that one would do that as it’s the time where most of us would be sleeping soundly .

And it’s obvious that there are less competition during midnight in the dungeon .

[Are you the only one here?] (Ryouta)

[Yeah, boss and the gang would work during the day, and I work during the night . It’s the same with boss but the rest are also old in age, and thus they can’t stay up till so late at night . So it can’t be helped . ]

[Are you sure it can’t be helped?] (Ryouta)

[If they can’t do it, then it’s up to me to do it . ]

The man shrugged his shoulders while he raised his hands slightly higher than his shoulders . Then a smile floated on his face .

When I looked closely, it reminded me of those late-night workers who were constantly tired, but if the person himself is alright with it, then I guess it’s fine .

☆

The next morning, using the Teleportation Room, I arrived at Aurum’s room .

A horn on its head, and wings on its back, and wearing a gothic lolita outfit, that was Aurum, the spirit of this dungeon .

The girl who had a childish atmosphere welcomed me with a smile .

[Ryouta! Are you fine today? There’s no one like them inside the dungeon today though . ] (Aurum)

[I see . I’m seriously thankful for your help . ] (Ryouta)

[It’s fine, it’s fine, didn’t I say it before? It’s nothing huge for me . ] (Aurum)

[I’m still grateful… . . Oh and you did mention that there’s no one else like them in the dungeon anymore?[ (Ryouta)

[Yeap, none . The only ones are——-Un, people who I’m familiar with, those who are normally hunting monsters . ] (Aurum)

[Is that so . I’ve promised to give you something in return, so where do you wanna go and play today . ] (Ryouta)

[Really! I want to go to Ryouta’s house . I wonder if I should move to a new house . ] (Aurum)

[Oh right, you’ve never come to my house before, haven’t you? Alright, let’s head there right now then . ] (Ryouta)

[Okay!] (Aurum)

I pulled out my revolver—–thinking of carrying her back like that .

[What’s wrong?] (Aurum)

[No, I think this would be better . ] (Ryouta)

I held my hands up instead .

In order to take Aurum out, it was necessary to defeat her once and then letting her be a rogue monster once she’s outside, so it has been firing my gun at her thus far .

It was a necessary procedure, and the person herself didn’t seem to mind it, but striking a gun at her doesn’t feel good either .

So I decided to sue magic instead of my revolver .

[Repetition . ] (Ryouta)

Chanting the magic, I used the magic that instantly defeats an enemy .

Then, Aurum became a 1 meter gold bar—–In that instant .

Everything turned black, and I got dizzy as it was hard to stand straight .

I knew this feeling, it was when my MP ran out .

The consumption of MP for Repetition changes according to the strength of the opponent .

The lord of the Dungeon, the Spirit Aurum .

The MP necessary to insta-defeat her was so high that my SS MP was depleted to 0 for an instant .

This was the most I’ve consumed so far .

[This is reasonable . ] (Ryouta)

While I mumbled to myself, I placed the muzzle on the base of my elbow and recovered my MP with the Infinite Recovery Bullets .

This wasn’t anything bad, but a way to recover, it’s like replacing the syringe with a gun .

After healing my MP to the max, I carried Aurum and returned to the mansion with the Teleportation Gate .

☆

Inside the residence of the house, sunset had came and Aurum was relaxing there .

Sinking deeply into the sofa, a listless expression that was never before seen when she was inside the dungeon .

[This is a wonderful place, it’s incredibly comforting . ] (Aurum)

[I know right . All by the help of Emily . ] (Ryouta)

[It’s too comfortable——What should I do Ryouta!] (Aurum)

Aurum showed a troubled expression .

[What’s wrong . ] (Ryouta)

[I don’t think I can get out of here anymore . ] (Aurum)

Aurum appealed to me with a clumsy expression .

She looked like those who sat inside a kotatsu and doesn’t wanna leave .

… . . Well, I get her .

It’s like Emily has casted a powerful magic to warm the house up .

And that level has already reached at the grade of a kotatsu .

[Do you wanna move in here? There’s so many empty rooms too . ] (Ryouta)

[Is that alright! —–Uun, but I can’t . ] (Aurum)

[Why not?] (Ryouta)

[Well, if it’s just going out to play for awhile, then it’s alright, but to sleep outside—–or have a slumber party, the dungeon’s drop would end up disappearing . ] (Aurum)

[Aah, now that would be troublesome to deal with… . . ] (Ryouta)

[With that, you can just bring me here again . It’s no problem if it’s just going out for a morning walk kinda ‘awhile’ . ] (Aurum)

[What a cheap repayment, you can just come here everyday—–Nn?] (Ryouta)

[What’s wrong?] (Aurum)

While relaxing on the sofa, Aurum tilted her head while looking at me .

I digested the words that she said .

Sleeping outside—–if she were to spend the night away from home, then the dungeon drop would disappear .

That sentence repeated itself inside my head .

[Neh, really what happened to you? It’s not like I’ll come here everyday? On~ce in a while would be fine . Since I’m a spirit, my perception of time compared to you humans are different—–] (Aurum)

[Aurum!] (Ryouta)

[Wh, what is it, why did you shout… . . ] (Aurum)

Being startled, Aurum was pulled around .

[Is what you said just now true?] (Ryouta)

[Wh, what is?] (Aurum)

[That if you spend the night out then the drop would disappear . ] (Ryouta)

[Yeah… . . if I’m not mistaken, the dungeon would lose consciousness if I were away for too long… . . ] (Aurum)

What’s wrong with that? She looked at me with those eyes .

I thought for a while .

And came up with a lot of stuff .

As an adventurer .

As the Dungeon Association Chief .

And, as a former company slave .

I’ve thought of various things on various angles .

[Aurum, do you want to live here . I’ll send you back every morning . ] (Ryouta)

[As I said, if I were to stay outside the drops——] (Aurum)

[My house is nice you know? Emily’s coming home soon, and the rest—–Ah right, even Boney-chan is here . ] (Ryouta)

[Boney-chan?] (Aurum)

[It’s one of Alice’s friends, I’m sure you’ll like them . ] (Ryouta)

As their born in Aurum .

Aurum who got persuaded with sweet offers, watched me with her eyes at the top .

[Is it really okay?] (Aurum)

[Yes . ] (Ryouta)

[Thanks, Ryouta . ] (Aurum)

Then she smiled strangely .

With that, Aurum of the spirit dungeon, would stay in our mansion .

☆

The next day, in the village of Indole .

I, as Indole’s Dungeon Association Chief by name, made an announcement .

It was the announcement that Aurum would not have any drop during midnight .

The adventurers that stood in front of the notice board were talking to each other .

[It would be an inconvenience if the drops would disappear during midnight . ]

[It won’t okay, it’s not like we’ll be hunting during midnight, we’ll all be sleeping . ]

[But those who have to?]

[Rather, didn’t they also write that the drop rate would increase again? Even though previously it increased, but now they’re further increasing it?]

The adventurers all agreed while making noises .

Just by looking at some, they weren’t happy about the news, but the rest had a stance of [well it’s not like anything has changed] .

We’re asleep anyways during midnight, were many .

This should do it .

I thought of a similar case when I saw a news that the family restaurant would quit business at midnight .

[He, hey . ]

[N?]

Someone called out to me from beside me .

When I turned, it was the young adventurer from before .

The person who was doing midnight hunting yesterday .

[Was it you who did that?]

[No, the spirit did it on a whim . Even spirits have to sleep at night . ] (Ryouta)

[I see… . . then can you convey a message to the spirit . ]

[What is it?] (Ryouta)

[Tell her that I’m thankful, and that I could finally sleep too . ]

[Sure, I’ll tell her that . ] (Ryouta)

[Really, thank you . ]

The young adventurer looked straight into my eyes .

I thought that the next time I met him, he would be much more energetic .
