Chapter 218
Selenium Dungeon, basement first floor .
Today was another day where I would level up the Growth Bullet with Leia .
It was supposed to be the usual routine of firing the Growth Bullet, then Leia would revive the monster… . . but .
Stare .
The surrounding wasn’t how it used to be .
Normally, the adventurers would use their various ways to hunt monsters, but for some reason they’re glancing at us .
What’s more, it wasn’t just one or two, but 10 to 20 of them .
[What exactly is going on . ] (Ryouta)
[They are looking at me . ] (Leia)
[Is that how it looks?] (Ryouta)
Surprised, I stopped moving and stared at leia .
With some hint of red dyed on her face, she answered .
[I have heard what some have said just now . Something along the lines of {So that’s Leia・Selen huh} . ] (Leia)
[… . Aah, so that’s how it is . ] (Ryouta)
I understood now .
With Leia having Selen’s name under her name, she is now considered someone associated with Selenium Dungeon .
It can’t be helped that she’s attracting people around her .
Just in case, while my hands didn’t stop moving from leveling, I listened closely .
[So that’s the one with the spirit’s name… . Her aura really is different . ]
[Stop yer’ lying, you don’t understand anything . ]
[But being recognized by a spirit is amazing . I was always curious why she could infinitely used her magic, but that might be the spirit’s protection . ]
There were adventurers who were envious of her, and some praising her .
There was one who was sharp to point out Leia having the spirit’s protection .
[Master . ] (Leia)
[—–Yeah? What’s wrong Leia?] (Ryouta)
[Please order me . ] (Leia)
[On?] (Ryouta)
Wondering what’s the matter with her, as I blinked a few times while looking at her .
Her facial expression was less apparent than usual, but she was staring at me intensely .
Not knowing what’s going on, I ordered her to do something for the time being .
[Let’s see, then let’s pick up the pace by going a few times faster . ] (Ryouta)
[Understood . ] (Leia)
Leia concentrated on her hands .
Right until now, it was just repetitive task, and I was going to do it at a chill pace .
Well, I am going to repeat this same task for more than a day .
Thus, in order to not get frustrated by it, I was also training at Nihonium, but the work required to level the Growth Bullet does take up more time .
Guess we bring it up a notch then .
The moment the Rainbow Slime dropped the item, Leia revived it almost immediately .
I could only see the dropped item for a split second before it turned back into a Slime .
[… . . ]
I matched with her pace .
Defeating it, she revived and I fired the Growth Bullet again .
Repeating that motion .
We gave our all .
Then, both the drop and the Slime couldn’t be seen, the scene—-it is as if there is a blur in between the air .
This is a good thing .
With the pace we’re going now, we might breakthrough with a few more levels .
Thus I focused without letting the outside noise bother me .
[They’ve upped their pace, splendid . ]
[He ordered her? Who is he?]
[You don’t know? What have you been living under? He’s that Ryouta Family’s Ryouta・Satou . ]
[Eeeeeh!? He’s the one?]
That day, the Growth Bullet has surprisingly surpassed the 15th level .
☆
Evening, using the teleportation room, I went and picked up Aurum, and went to the monster’s village .
Because I didn’t use the Speed Up Bullet for some time, I have some stock piled up .
[Ryouta-san!]
When we arrived the village, Clayman and the other monster greeted us .
[Good work everyone, and why are all of you gathering here?] (Ryouta)
[We have a request . ] (Clayman)
[What would that be?] (Ryouta)
What’s happening? As I furrow my eyebrows .
All of the monsters living in this village was looking at me with dead serious eyes .
[Please let us use Ryouta-san’s name . ] (Clayman)
[My name?] (Ryouta)
[Yes! We want this village to be named after Ryouta-san . ] (Clayman)
[That means… . ] (Ryouta)
I looked around, and then looked at where they are living .
[Naming this village as {Ryouta}?] (Ryouta)
[Exactly!] (Clayman)
The rest of the monsters all cheered, and those monsters who can’t speak were making noises .
Name this village… . with my name . ,…
[No wait a minute . ] (Ryouta)
Panicking, I lift both my hands and shook them in front of him .
[That’s incredibly embarrassing . ] (Ryouta)
[Is that a no then?] (Clayman)
[In the first place, why would you suddenly have this thought?] (Ryouta)
[Let me explain that for you . ] (Celeste)
Then within the field of monsters, Celeste appeared from within the village .
[Oh, so you came as well Celeste . ] (Ryouta)
[Yes, I had some coaching job to be done . ] (Celeste)
[I see . ] (Ryouta)
Since this village’s job is to clean up Indole’s trash .
Celeste who used to work as one came here to coach them .
[I understand that, but why now?] (Ryouta)
[They’ve heard about the spirit naming talk . With Leia having Selen’s protection and also having her name . That’s why this village wants it’s own protection . ] (Celeste)
[This village?] (Ryouta)
[Yes . This is a monster village that Ryouta-san has worked on building for those who have been persecuted . ] (Celeste)
[Aah . ] (Ryouta)
[So, what’s more befiting then naming the village {Ryouta}?That’s what they ended up discussing . ] (Celeste)
[Which means… . something like Cerberus’ collar?] (Ryouta)
Celeste nodded, then looked at the monsters with eyes of anticipation .
These monsters are essentially my pets .
Having no place to go, and no one to feed them…They were left as stray monsters .
[I see… . ] (Ryouta)
[Having Ryouta’s name, more people are less likely to harm them . I don’t think anyone is stupid enough to fight with Ryouta in its name . ] (Celeste)
That does make sense .
If that’s the case… . Guess it can’t be helped right .
[Alright then . From today onwards, this village shall be named {Ryouta} . ](Ryouta)
As soon as I said that, the crowds cheered .
Then the monsters were doing banzais .
It’s a necessity to do it, but having a village named after me was still embarrassing .
[Fufu . ] Celeste smiled .
At that time, I misunderstood the meaning of her smile .
I thought it was because the idea went through, and thus she smiled .
Then, after a few days . Meeting with Cell .
[As I expect from Satou-sama . Giving names to others . ] Cell looked at me with more respect than ever in his eyes .
That was when I knew the deeper meaning behind Celeste’s smile .
