Chapter 211
Selen Dungeon, basement first floor .
Today as well, I was leveling up my Growth Bullet .
Leia would grab hold onto the Rainbow Slime, then I would shoot at it, and Leia would revive it and rinse and repeat .
After around 2 hours or so, I finally leveled it up by 1 .
I thought it would be easy to level up at the start, then as your level goes higher and higher, it gets harder to level . However, that doesn’t seem to be the case .
[Maybe it’s based on the number of times used . ] (Ryouta)
[Number?] (Leia)
Since it wasn’t necessary to combine with Leia, she was in her human form listening .
[Aah, basically it needs to be used in a certain number of times in order to level, is my speculation . Rather than raising the level based on the experience value, it might be the number of times you used it that raises its level . ]
Thinking it like a game—-I answered .
[Let’s count it . ] (Leia)
Without any expression, Leia started to count the number of times I used the Growth bullet in order to prove my theory .
Usually one would use a robotic tick, but for some reason this job kinda suits Leia .
[Thanks . ] (Ryouta)
[… . . No worries . ] (Leia)
When praising Leia, I could see her cheeks getting slightly redder .
This was one of the positive things that I would do to trigger her emotions back as she has lost her soul inside her body . Obviously I won’t do anything negative .
Continuing on our level grinding, suddenly I noticed some disturbance slightly further away from us .
What happened? As I stopped shooting .
[Let’s stop for a moment . ] (Ryouta)
[Alright . ] (Leia)
Leia and I went and check on the disturbance .
The cause of that noise was at the rest area .
After a new association chief was appointed for Shikuro, Cell set up all these resting areas in each of the dungeons except for Nihonium .
It was a place where adventurers can treat their injuries, or just take a rest before continuing on .
And over there, was a young looking adventurer with suspicious eyes looking around the area .
[A rest area… . . huh . ]
[Hey you, if you ain’t going in then move aside . You’re bothering the others by blocking the entrance you know . ]
There were other adventurers behind him, asking him to move aside .
[H, hey . What… . happened here?]
[What do you mean, ah, so your first time here?]
[Yeah . ]
[I see I see . Not like there’s any difference, just a new association chief of Shikuro Dungeon that ordered to create these resting areas . ]
[How much per entry?]
[It’s free . ]
[Eeh……]
When the young adventurer was amazed, the adventurer who answered lightly shrugged his shoulders as he entered the resting place, leaving the young adventurer be .
[It’s free? That’s ridiculous . Being able to heal while inside the dungeon? How can it be free… . I’m sure there must be something going on behind our back . ]
As he convinced himself .
I wanted to tell him that there’s nothing to worry about and he can use it, but there was someone behind me started talking to me .
[Satou-san, long time no see . ]
[Eeh… . . Ah Ina . Long time no see . ]
One of the workers working in the trading shop of 『The Swallow’s Repayment』, Ina .
She is best friends with Elza when they met in Shikuro, but now she should be in Indole .
[Why are you here? Is Indole settled?] (Ryouta)
[Yeap, there’s no problems there . So now this is my new job . ] (Ina)
[A new job?] (Ryouta)
[One of our branches office made a trading shop inside the dungeon . Remember, the one that Satou-san helped created that system . ] (Ina)
[Aah . ] (Ryouta)
She’s talking about that Magic Cart’s transporting function that I frequently use to send my items back to our mansion .
[So you’re trying to expand your business into the dungeon huh . ] (Ryouta)
[Yeap . Since we can get more customers, and if you’re inside the dungeon, you will sell it cheaper, so we might get better profits . ] (Ina)
[I see, makes sense . ] (Ryouta)
Thinking about it that way, the adventurers wouldn’t have to purposely head back to the city and sell their items, instead they can just come here and sell it . There should be a certain number of people who will use the cheap appraisal over wasting time .
[It’s thanks to Satou-san that we’re able to start our business here . Next time our master would come and personally thank you . ] (Ina)
[Is that so . So is it only in Selen?] (Ryouta)
[Nope, we have set up at other places as well . Well, except for Nihonium . ] (Ina)
Ina smiled as she answered .
I see, that would make earning money much more convenient .
There’s not much benefit for me, but it’ll no doubt be easier for the other adventurers .
Yeap, it’s a good thing overall .
[H, hey . ]
As Ina was talking, someone spoke from beside us .
It was that young adventurer who was doubting the rest area .
[I overheard your conversation, but is it true that a trading shop would open inside the dungeon?]
[Yes, it is true . ]
Ina answered with her working smile .
[It will still take some days before the shop is officially open, so once it is open, please feel free to drop by . ] (Ina)
[And that… . . is there any requirements in selling your items?]
[Requirements? There is none . ] (Ina)
[That’s impossible… . Such a good deal is… . . ]
Again the young adventurer was shocked .
[Ah but, you will be sold at a slightly lower price compared to selling it in the city . ]
Even though Ina amended her explanation, the fact that the young adventurer being shocked is still present at how absurd this was .
Again he muttered things like [this is impossible], or [there must be a catch] as he slowly walked away .
[I wonder what was wrong with him, did I say something wrong?] (Ina)
[… . It’s possible but…] (Ryouta)
I have seen someone like him before .
A white company—–or we won’t even go there, but even in a normal company, it’s a phenomenon where a former black company employee would become suspicious as he is re-employed into a regular company .
A colleague once told me as he had changed jobs before .
When the new company is too kind, he becomes suspicious and thinks that something is up .
I guess it’s something that’s been influenced when inside a black company .
[I guess he’s been inside a horrible family and dungeon before this . ] (Ryouta)
[And that is the reason he’s become like how he is?] (Ina)
[Being brought into a nice environment after being treated horribly might be the cause of it . It takes time for him to accept it . ] (Ryouta)
[Heh . ] (Ina)
Ina looked at the guy who was walking away, then looked at me and smiled mischievously .
[Then, so that person became like this is all Satou-san’s fault?] (Ina)
[Eh?] (Ryouta)
[Well, since the incidents in Shikuro and Indole has been saved by Satou-san right . Similar with the resting area and our trading shops . And the atmosphere of the adventurers around us has become better—-] (Ina)
Then taking a deep breath, she smiled and looked at me .
[Eeeeeverything~, is Satou-san’s fault~] Ina said .
… . . I guess it might be true .
If that’s true then, it’s worthwhile, as I thought as such .
