Chapter 321
“Bad news, bad news Ryouta-san!”
When noon was drawing closer, I have just returned from Plumbum when Elza rushed out to meet me near the Transportation Room .
Her face did not indicate someone who is distressed .
But was happy instead .
“Why are you in a hurry, Elza?” (Ryouta)
“I have just received news from the Association Chief, he asked for Ryouta-san to met with him immediately . ” (Elza)
“Meet with me?” (Ryouta)
And ASAP .
Is there something he needs from me…… No .
“Since you said it was something servere, did he tell you about it?” (Ryouta)
“Yes!” (Elza)
Elza breaths out from her nose as she said that .
It doesn’t look like the word [bad news] is relating to something bad perse .
“Tennessine has increased its floors . !” (Elza)
“It did?” (Ryouta)
“Yes! Apparently there’s one more floor above the previous highest floor . ” (Elza)
“I see . ” (Ryouta)
Since I’ve only been in this world for one and a half years, I did not know the severity of this news .
☆
“This is truly unheard of . ”
The highest floor of Tennessine .
With the help of Nihonium’s power, there were no monsters around .
And since this was a new floor, the workers haven’t start their work yet .
The place is as if when I was young, and the workers were building a new place, and they would leave their trucks and equipment around the vicinity .
Thus, the two of us who is standing on this very floor, where there’s nothing at all whatsoever, Cell showed a serious face that has never been seen before .
“You’ve never heard what happening before?” (Ryouta)
“That a dungeon would increase floors . ” (Cell)
“This is the first?” (Ryouta)
“If that can happen, Satou-sama wouldn’t have to do anything during the time with Selen dungeon . ” (Cell)
Selen Dungeon .
A dungeon with 10 floors in total, and the drops are separated perfectly into 5 vegetables and 5 meat drops .
Due to that, both associations fought over who has the right for the dungeon, and it was to the point where I had to step in .
If an extra dungeon were to appear in that dungeon, then it would’ve decided who would keep that dungeon .
By the way, when I asked Selen about why she wanted to split the drops into half, she said that she wanted to [dual wield] .
Such a simple minded thinking, well it’s already in the past .
“But this should be thanks to Satou-sama . ” (Cell)
“I didn’t do anything, okay . ” (Ryouta)
“You went and talked to the spirit of the dungeon, and that might’ve triggered something in him . ” (Cell)
“Well, he isn’t as obedient as you think . ” (Ryouta)
Since Tennessine’s a tsundere, and a really big one at that .
Nobody in Japan would’ve liked a male tsundere, but here people are very forgiving with that kind of attitude .
“The person is just hiding the fact that he’s embarrassed . But once you get to know his feelings, then everything is all good . ” (Cell)
Is what he blabbered .
He always praised me all this time, but I find that he’s awesome as well for thinking that .
“If this is going to be permanent, then I can start having the workers built the town . ” (Cell)
While we were scouting around, I answered .
“Alright, I’ll go and confirm with him . ” (Ryouta)
We’re worried that he’s going to increase more floors, so it’s best to check from the person himself .
☆
“I don’t know anything about it . ” (Tennessine)
When I asked him, he answered as what I predicted .
This tsundere guy .
Then, I asked him again .
“Even if you don’t know about it, the fact that there’s an additional floor now still stands . ” (Ryouta)
“What I don’t know stays the same . It just happened to increase . ” (Tennessine)
“Hmmmmm . ” (Ryouta)
“Hmph . ” (Tennessine)
This time he was just being tsun .
Don’t tell me he really doesn’t know about it?
Does that mean that a spirit doesn’t have full control over their own dungeon?
I mean they can do most things, but some are just unavoidable?
Like when Arsenic was about to starve, or Nihonium who can make other dungeons stop dropping stuff .
Is this the same with Tennessine?
“I see now, okay i trust you . Sorry for asking something weird . ” (Ryouta)
If the person himself doesn’t know it, then I can’t force them .
It’s a waste that Cell also doesn’t know, so we just have to wait and see .
First, I should report it back to Cell .
At that moment .
“Oi, wait a minute . ” (Tennessine)
Tennessine called me, and handed me a black watermelon .
“What’s up?” (Ryouta)
“It’s leftovers . ” (Tennessine)
“Is that so . ” (Ryouta)
“Hmph, if you want to sell it, then take it . ” (Tennessine)
Really now Tennessine, just because I came here to hang out with you, you gave me a watermelon as a thank you gift .
No matter how tsundere you are, this is just too cute .
As I received it from him, thinking of eating it with everyone for dessert, I felt something weird .
There’s something weird when touching this watermelon .
A groove…… . ? Was what I thought as I spun the watermelon around .
Thanks .
The surface of the watermelon has a pattern that looks like words .
A word that says [thanks], was written, and shockingly I looked at Tennessine .
“……” (Ryouta)
I looked at him with a [why?] look on my face .
“This watermelon……” (Ryouta)
“It’s a pattern . ” (Tennessine)
No wait, I haven’t even said anything yet and you’re just putting it off as just patterns .
“Patterns?” (Ryouta)
“You dumb or something? Of course there’s patterns on a watermelon . ” (Tennessine)
“No I know there’s patterns, but this looks just like words to me . ” (Ryouta)
“That happens occasionally . ” (Tennessine)
“I don’t think so . ” (Ryouta)
“I already say it happens okay . It’s a 1 in a 100 million chance of it happening okay . ” (Tennessine)
He’s now on dere mode .
He insisted as if a cat is writing shakespeare poems on a keyboard .
“Also . ” (Tennessine)
“Hm?” (Ryouta)
“I don’t want anyone going into the new floors, they’re annoying . ” (Tennessine)
“So we can’t go in?” (Ryouta)
“Yeah, don’t ever go in . Promise me!” (Tennessine)
“…… . Okay . ” (Ryouta)
While he was doing a choke grip, that too is just his tsundere phase .
Since I promised him, I should report Cell to cease operation for the time being .
“I’ll do that . Alright . ” (Ryouta)
I spoke out my thoughts .
Remembering what Neptune said about the rankings, I think it’s an advice to Tennessine .
“Well, the more people come, the noisier it gets though . ” (Ryouta)
“It’s always noisy . ” (Tennessine)
He tried hiding his smile .
“If only we can adjust the drops based on numbers . ” (Ryouta)
“Drop by number?” (Tennessine)
“The more drops increased, the more people come, then the lesser the drop, the lesser people comes . Another phenomenon that occurs similar to this is during the constant lunar cycle—–simply put, this would be a time when drops would double . ” (Ryouta)
“…… . . Hmph, if the humans are getting too cocky, I’ll lower it . ” (Tennessine)
“That’ll be great . ” (Ryouta)
I’m sure he won’t do it, and in fact increase the drops .
With that, I’m almost done with Tennessine .
As I wanted to head back .
“Oi . ” (Tennessine)
He called me once more .
I turned to face him, but he didn’t say anything .
Is he worrying about something again?
“T-Thank you . ” (Tennessine)
“What did you say………?” (Ryouta)
With his face dyed red, I received another watermelon from him .
It was the biggest thanks that I’ve received in my life, and I was shocked beyond belief .
