Chapter 173

Level 1 Guy: Chapter 173 – Samechiren’s Winter Camp

Proofread: Shiro

The city of Samechiren .

Together with Cell, we sat inside a rickshaw whilst moving in the city .

Compared when walking in the middle of Shikuro and having a European vibe, the people and the things displayed around this city clearly had a chinese feel to it .

However, it did not lose out against Shikuro with their amazing crowds buzzling around the streets .

It’s because of this world, there’s literally any kind of dungeons that exists, so I was really curious at how the people live their everyday lives here .

Of course I’m interested in the names of the dungeons, however my mood right now wasn’t at that .

I started asking Cell who was sitting opposite of me .

[Now that we’re in Samechiren, where are we going?] (Ryouta)

[The Dungeon Association . We are going to corner the Dungeon Association Chief there named Linus・Ronin . ] (Cell)

I see now .

He did say that he was coming here to enforce the rules around the dungeon association .

[That’s fine and all, but why bring me too?] (Ryouta)

[I would love Satou-sama to cooperate with us . It is something that only Satou-sama can do for us . ] (Cell)

[Something that only I can do?] (Ryouta)

[Umu . I might be able to handle it by myself, however, if Satou-sama were to appear in front of them, then it’ll be easier to talk about the story . ] (Cell)

[Is that so… . . Well what should I do then . ] (Ryouta)

[You can follow me, and just listen to what we are talking, that is all . ] (Cell)

[Is that all I have to do?] (Ryouta)

Cell nodded .

Even though his eyes were calm, somewhere around his eyes were hiding a sadistic look .

I wonder if it’s another facade that he doesn’t want to show to me? Was what I finally came up with .

Finally we arrived at our destination with the help of two sturdy man pulling us .

After getting down the rickshaw, a five story building was greeted in front of me .

I then followed Cell into that building .

I wonder if he’d made an appointment to just walk past a luxurious looking reception room .

A look as though he had waited for awhile was painted on his face .

The man that was criticized by Clint during the Indole case, Samechiren’s Association Chief .

HIs name……Cell said it was Linus .

[Sorry for the wait . ] (Linus)

[It would be the first time meeting . I am the Dungeon Association Chief of Shikuro, Cell・Stem . The gentleman beside me is the Association Chief of Indole, Satou-sama . ] (Cell)

After introducing himself, Cell helped introduced me as well .

Oh right, I am Indole’s Association Chief .

Indole is practically under Shikuro’s Association, so normally I won’t care about it .

But now I get it, the reason why he asked me to tag along .

As Association Chiefs, I have to answer to any questions . I better prepare myself .

[I’m Linus・Ronin of Samechiren’s Dungeon Association Chief . ] (Linus)

Even though he introduced himself, but I felt some anxiety .

I guess it’s his reaction to what this visit was for .

[I apologize for the sudden visit . However there was a recent incident in Shikuro and Indole that happened . ] (Cell)

[Wh, what would that be . ] (Linus)

[Apparently someone went around our dungeons and placed Dungeon Dusts in them . ] (Cell)

[S, so there was such a criminal wondering around . ] (Linus)

With words of condemn coming out of his mouth, Linus’s voice was trembling .

His eyes tend to move around, looking at me and Cell every once in awhile .

His eyes were enough to tell us everything, that he was the one who did it .

[So did Samechiren not face such despicable and wicked case?] (Cell)

[I, I wonder . I did not receive any such reports . ] (Linus)

[I see . I’m sure you know this as well, but it is a serious violation to do something as to tamper with a dungeon . I myself could not overlook this case as it concerns Shikuro . I have to absolutely catch this culprit…… . This wire-puller . ] (Cell)

[I, I see . ] (Linus)

Linus’s voice trembled even more .

Cell then continued to threaten Linus in a roundabout manner .

With such a surprisingly roundabout manner, it was making him uncomfortable .

He can’t do anything, and occasionally answering in short words . Whenever Cell opens his mouth, Linus was slowly being pushed into a corner .

I thought of the phrase, “Even though Osaka Castle was extremely glorious, it was still miserably abandoned” .

Cell was as such, he continued to fill in the outer moat .

[However, our opponent did something extremely foolish . ] (Cell)

[Eh?] (Linus)

[There is a saying in Shikuro . Do not get involved with Ryouta・Satou . Those who did something unreasonable and brings Satou-sama discomfort, nobody has ever left before sustaining devastating damage . ] (Cell)

Now that he mentioned it, there was a saying as such .

Was it during the case of Clifford? Maybe that’s when it started .

Well, I just normally did what I had to do .

However, that was also used as a threat .

And Linus who did something unreasonable was extremely scared .

[If it is related to Satou-sama, then even the Dungeon’s drop time would be changed . Now that I remember, I wanted to ask you about this, but I wonder if Satou-sama can make drops itself disappear?] (Cell)

[Huh?] (Ryouta)

What’s with the sudden question——at that split second I understood what it was .

So this was what he said about listening to the talk .

[It’s possible . ] (Ryouta)

[Oh, is that true?] (Cell)

[Yeah . ] (Ryouta)

There’s no need to talk with each other, it’s normally doable .

When I brought Aurum back to stay over for the night, if she doesn’t return to the dungeon by morning, that’s what would happen .

I think I can pull it off .

[As I expect of Satou-sama . No, wherever Satou-sama is around, no absurd situations would occur . ] (Cell)

[That makes me happy to hear it . ] (Ryouta)

It was my true feelings .

When I was still working under that Black company, whenever there’s any absurd things I would immediately stuck my head into it .

However when that’s gone, it actually made me happy .

[By the way, Satou-sama . ] (Cell)

[Yeah?] (Ryouta)

[Since you’re in Samechiren, why not get an experience with the dungeons around here . ] (Cell)

[Experiencing the dungeons? That’s true, I do have some interest with what sorts of dungeons Samechiren has…… . Is that alright though?] (Ryouta)

I continued the talk .

Remembering about it, I asked Linus .

I guess this is some sort of threat as well .

Tackling head on to absurdity, and talking about what had happened to people who I’ve faced, plus the possibility of making drops disappear with the help of Aurum .

So many things were being threatened against Linus .

Linus who was feeling the multiple poisonous threats, he looks as though 10 years of his life has been sucked away .

Even though he’s been threatening for awhile, at the end Cell did not say a word and we left the Samechiren’s Association .

☆

While being pushed by the sturdy men, Cell turned and talked to me .

[I’m grateful for your help, Satou-sama . ] (Cell)

[Is that alright with you?] (Ryouta)

[Umu, with Satou-sama’s help, we have completely gained the initiative . ] (Cell)

[I’m glad to be of help . But I don’t know whether to be glad, we didn’t really give any demands though?] (Ryouta)

[Since we’ve taken the initiative, there’s no hurry for it right now . Linus・Ronin is a proper person, once he understands his position, I’m sure he’ll offer to us by himself] (Cell)

[I see . ] (Ryouta)

[What’s more, The moment before a huge tree falls is the most delicious . ] (Cell)

Cells unequivocally mentioned about frightening things .

But oh well, this time it was Linus that has to suffer his consequences .

[If Satou-sama wasn’t around, I wouldn’t have been able to do it as well . So I once again thank you . ] (Cell)

In the comfortable rickshaw, Cell touched his knees and bowed to me .

[Thank you . ] was what he said .
