Chapter 260

[Yoda-san, there’s a guest outside nanodesu . ] (Emily)



 

At night, whilst resting at the saloon, Emily called me .

 

[A guest? This late at night?] (Ryouta)

[It’s someone new, what should we do desu?] (Emily)

[For now, I’ll meet that person . ] (Ryouta)

[Got it desu, I’ll bring them over here desu . ] (Emily)

 

Emily then hurriedly went back out .

I wonder who that person is .

 

[Ryouta, let’s go to the pub~] 

 

While waiting for Emily, this time it was Aurum who called for me .

She has her partner, the Mini Sage Mike, being hugged by her .

 

[A pub?] (Ryouta)

[Yep! I want to go to a place full of people talking about variety of stories~] (Aurum)

[I see, if that’s the case, you can do whatever you like . ] (Ryouta)

[Yeap! That’s why, let’s go . Hey, I’ll pay~] (Aurum)

 

After she said that, she held her hands up, and there appeared gold ingots .

A pyramid of gold ingots with a market price of 4 Million Piros were there .

She is the dungeon of gold .

 

[No no no no that’s too much . We don’t need that much for a pub . ] (Ryouta)

[That’s the case, let’s pay for everyone else! It’s gonna be interesting!] (Aurum)

[You’re really excited huh . ] (Ryouta)

[Yeap! So, let’s go!] (Aurum)

[I would go but—–] (Ryouta)

[Yoda-san, sorry for the wait nanodesu . ] (Emily)

 



Emily came to the saloon with the guest .

It was a man in his fifties who looked a little tired, which looked like an owner of a depopulated shop in a street .

 

[—–But a guest is coming . ] (Ryouta)

[I see… . . That’s sad . ] (Aurum)

 

Aurum then erase the gold ingots on her hand .

I’m glad that she listened to me, but I felt sad looking at her .

 

[I’ll promise you that we’ll go tomorrow . ] (Ryouta)

[Really!?] (Aurum)

[At the same time we can bring others over . And if we’re going to eat, we can all eat together as well . ] (Ryouta)

[—–Aaaah! Thank you Ryouta! !] (Aurum)

 

Aurum hugged me, and gave me a kiss on the cheek .

Then she lifted Mike up again and skipped away the saloon .

 

[… . . Ehem . ] I coughed and met the visitor .

 

[Sorry for showing you such a weird thing . I’m Satou Ryouta . ] (Ryouta)

 

Since it’s my first time meeting him, I spoke in an honorific way .

I guess my salaryman days hasn’t left me yet .

 

[My name is Dale . Uhm… . . Excuse me for coming here today, but wasn’t that… . . Aurum-sama just now?] (Dale)

[That’s right?] (Ryouta)

 

I nodded, and Dale’s eyes changed colour .

 

[So there really is a spirit living here . And it’s a powerful spirit that could erase gold . ] (Dale)

[Ah, yeah . ] (Ryouta)

 



The tension soared too much, and I was feeling a bit of it as well .

 

After a brief introduction, Emily left the saloon to make a cup of tea for the guest . Then, I sat facing Dale .

 

[So… . Is there anything you need from me?] (Ryouta)

[I am the chairman of the Dungeon Association of Tetramin . ] (Dale)

[Ooh . ] (Ryouta)

 

Tetramine, a poison like name .

 

[I would like to say it straight! Could you move your base to Tetramine?] (Dale)

[Huh? Base as in… . You want me to move?] (Ryouta)

 

After thinking for awhile, I answered and Dale nodded .

 


[Yes! I’ll prepare a house for Ryouta-sama there, with well-trained maid and shops that are close to it . Of course, all of your friends can come too—-Plus . ] (Dale)

[And?] (Ryouta)

 

Is there anything other than a house with maids .

 

[The dungeons that Tetramine has, a dungeon called Plumbum . Of course we will issue licenses for all floors for you . ] (Dale)

[Plumbum… . . Oh lead . ] (Ryouta)

[Huh?] (Dale)

[No it’s just me . Hmm… . . ] (Ryouta)

 

Something sounds strange .

Suddenly coming here to my place, and preparing a mansion for me .

 

I just have this feeling that there’s something .

 

[… . I can’t answer this immediately, so would you let me think for a few days?] (Ryouta)

[Thank you so much! By all means consider this positively!] (Dale)

 

Dale then stood up .

I do not know his intention, but it’s been told to me in a desperate manner .

 

 

[Ahaha, he’s after the tax . ] 

 

As promised last night, I brought Aurum to the bar, Villa De Edge, and Neptune was there who had a drink with us as well .

After the sake was brought out and rank, Neptune answered with joy .

 

[Taxes?] (Ryouta)

[You should know your influence a little more . How many people are there in your family now?] (Neptune)

[Me, Emily, Alice, Celeste, Alice, and Mike . Aah, I don’t know if Margaret of the Cliff Family would want to join as well?] (Ryouta)

[Aside from the latter half, there are 6 of you, and the taxes?] (Neptune)

[Huh?] (Ryouta)

[I mean how much do you pay your taxes per year . ] (Neptune)

[Tax… . . I wonder . ] (Ryouta)

 

I don’t mind .

Cause it’s hard to grasp the taxes of adventurers in this world .

Everytime I trade something, I had to pay some .

 

[Around 1 Billion . ]

[Eve!?] (Ryouta)

 

Next to our table, Eve who was tipsy with beer and carrots joined in the conversation .

 

[The low level family has about 1 billion taxes . ] (Eve)

[That much!] (Ryouta)

[Even though you’re a low level, you have large taxpayers . ] (Eve)

[Huh . ] (Ryouta)

[That’s that . So if they invite your family, tax is basically transported to their city . And because Tetramine has been depopulated recently, they need more money . ] (Neptune)

[Now I get it . ] (Ryouta)

 

I feel like having solved all mysteries .

DIdn’t know it was like that .

 

[By the way, it’s going to be a big deal if your family moves . There would be fights between cities—- no more like a war . ] (Neptune)

[Are you just exaggerating… . Or maybe it isn’t?] (Ryouta)

 

A billion piros is a lot .

 

So the first impression I had on Dale was really right .

From his point of view, a billion is seriously a life or death situation for him .

 

However—–

 

[Tetramine and Purumbum . What is the cause of the depopulation though… . . ?] (Ryouta)

 

It means that people are less interested in going to the dungeon .

Hmm .

 

[Fuh . ] (Neptune)

[… . What is it?] (Ryouta)

[Seems like you have your bad habit showing . ] (Neptune)

[My bad habit?] (Ryouta)

[Aah, do you need a prophet? Though you’re not moving, but you’re gonna leave for Tetramine tomorrow . Is that right?] (Neptune)

[… . . ] (Ryouta)

 

I laughed, he’s right .

That’s my intention .

 

A depopulated city, and there’s a  new dungeon .

Since I was asked for help, let’s see if I could manage it .
