Chapter 383
Teruru Dungeon, basement first floor .
It has been some time since I returned to this dungeon .
While bringing Eri with me, we circled around the dungeon to earn money .
Encountering a Slime, I guide it and shoot it on top of the magic cart .
The dropped sprouts enter the cart as they are, so far I am used to it, but there’s something different .
“Oops, the cart is full again . Eri, press the switch thanks . ” (Ryouta)
“… . . (Nod)” (Eri)
Eri, who was following the magic cart, pushed the switch and sent the contents of the cart to “The Money Tree” at Elza .
Eri then pushed the magic cart with her small body .
Walking next to her, I kill the attacking monster with a flowing motion, and throw the dropped item into the cart .
It is like a parent and child shopping at a supermarket .
“Thank you, Eri” (Ryouta)
“… (Smile)” (Eri)
While patting her head, Eri smiled happily .
She started to help because she only clung to me .
I do want her to do things on her own in the future .
Until then, another breath—
“No no no, let’s go carefully . If we do things too quickly, she’ll revert back to herself again . ” (Ryouta)
“…?” (Eri)
“Eri should be careful as well . It would be dangerous if a monster attacked you . ” (Ryouta)
Moving away from the topic, Eri put a small guts pose and was excited .
She did not show frightening or trauma about being attacked by monsters . Rather, we have to take a positive approach .
I was once again convinced that it was a human who killed the former Eri——–Erythronium .
“Okay, let’s go another round and then go home . ” (Ryouta)
“… (Nod)” (Eri)
I went down to the second floor with Eri pushing the cart .
We earned a full cart of carrots from the Drowsy slime on the second floor and moved on to the next floor .
―― We earn a full cart on the 3rd floor and take it to the 4th floor .
Repeating that, we went around and then returned to the mansion using the transfer gate .
In a new mansion, the erythronium dungeon .
――When I come back there .
“——!” (Eri)
Eri suddenly threw the cart and clung to me .
“What happened?” (Ryouta)
“… (Rub rub)” (Eri)
Eri who buried her face in my pants and shook her head .
What on earth .
“Yoda-san, welcome back nanodesu, everyone is waiting outside desu . ” (Emily)
“Everyone?” (Ryouta)
“Carbon, Aldehyde, Arenes, and many other people from the association are here desu . ” (Emily)
“I feel like I’ve heard of that name…” (Ryouta)
It’s not an element name, but is it a city name?
“Yes desu, they were here last year desu . ” (Emily)
“Last year?” (Ryouta)
“The request for Yoda-san to move to their cit desu . ” (Emily)
“……Oh” (Ryouta)
I finally remembered .
Approximately last year around this time, people from various dungeon associations came to greet us, such as coming in directly or via “The Swallows Repayment” .
They’re talking about my tax revenue, and it’s about moving .
They weren’t particularly in trouble, so I got them back after they passed the general social order .
“So they’re here again… so that’s why Eri’s scared . ” (Ryouta)
Eri was holding on to me and glancing at the outside direction through the wall .
“Yes desu, only Eri-chan’s authorized people can enter here, so everyone is waiting in the mansion over there desu . ” (Emily)
“So that’s it” (Ryouta)
“But I’m glad desu, if it was before we moved, then I won’t be able to enter too desu . (Emily)“
“Hmm? Ah, there are more than those names mentioned . ” (Ryouta)
“Yes desu . There are 13 who came in total desu . ” (Emily)
“13!? Why so much?” (Ryouta)
“Eh? Yoda-san doesn’t know why desu?” (Emily)
“Yeah . ” (Ryouta)
“This year’s annual purchase ranking was announced, Yoda-san is ranked first desu . ” (Emily)
“…Ooh . ” (Ryouta)
I clapped my hands together .
Speaking of which, I wonder if there was such a story .
☆
Finally, at night, we sent all the guests back and returned to the salon in Erythronium .
“I’m home~” (Alice)
When everyone entered the relaxing salon, Eri tackled and clung to me, mixed with Alice’s cheerful voice .
“I’m home . Eri . It’s fine already, everyone has left . ” (Alice)
“… . . (Nod)” (Eri)
Eri was clinging to me while nodding .
After all, humans are scary…
I took Eri to the usual seat and she sat on my lap .
“Good work nanodesu . ” (Emily)
“Thank you Emily . But wow, it’s so tough . ” (Ryouta)
“Even though it’s just refusing?” (Alice)
Alice strangely asked .
“That’s why . I had to use advanced technique to refuse without raising any suspicion . ” (Alice)
I didn’t like it when I was in the other world .
“Isn’t it helpful if everyone was in trouble because of this?” (Alice)
“Yeah, that’s still easier . I just have to do it . ” (Ryouta)
“It’s better not to say that outside, the number of people who take advantage of it will increase . ” (Celeste)
Celeste said .
“You’re right . ” (Ryouta)
“Low level, Bunny suffered from carrot deficiency rabbit hypofunction syndrome, carrot—–” (Eve)
“Here . ” (Ryouta)
I took out the carrot stored in the pouch and gave it to Eve .
“Delish” (Eve)
Eve got a bite on it immediately, and has a happy face .
“You’re immediately eating huh . ” (Ryouta)
“I can’t help it, right? Ryota’s carrot, Eve-chan, is addictive . ” (Alice)
“Eh? Is that why I sometimes tremble desu!?” (Emily)
“What is that seriously!” (Ryouta)
I retorted into Emily’s words .
We ended our day at the salon .
Steadily, the stiffness gradually disappeared from Eri’s body .
“Oh, that’s right Ryouta-san” (Elza)
“What is it, Elza?” (Ryouta)
“Ryota-san won first place . Can I use it for my advertisement?” (Elza)
“Would that………be a good advertisement?” (Ryouta)
“Yes! It would be excellent if we can say that our shop is being used by the world’s number 1 . ” (Elza)
“I’ve already asked the other three people, the only thing left is Ryota-san . ” (Elza)
Ena said, and I tilted my head .
“The other three?” (Ryouta)
“I didn’t know this either . Alice was 10th, Emily was 9th, and Celeste was 6th . ” (Ena)
“……Whaaaaaaaat!?” (Ryouta)
Surprisingly, I turned around to the three people .
Emily and Celeste look embarrassed, and Alice makes a V sign with a proud face .
“Is it true?” (Ryouta)
“Of course” (Ena)
“Wow…” (Ryouta)
“The amazing one is Emily . She didn’t neglect her housework and still got 9th place . I wonder what happens if she’s released from that?” (Ena)
“No, that’s not true desu . ” (Emily)
“Wow, that’s amazing . Everyone’s in the top 10 . ” (Ryouta)
“Yes, that’s why we were invited, though not as much as Ryouta-san . ” (Celeste)
“Oh . ” (Ryouta)
I was glad .
The success of my colleagues was more than just good for me .
“I think it will be even better next year . ” (Ena)
“What does that mean?” (Ryouta)
“For the past week, people’s earnings have increased by 30% since the food has changed . ” (Ena)
“Food…Ah?” (Ryouta)
I clap my hands .
Eri water .
Approximately one week after the rice cooked by Emily changed to Eri’s water .
“Did it really increase by 30%?” (Ryouta)
“Yeah, it looks like this . ” (Ena)
Ena took the paper on the table and gave it to me .
It is a graph of the income of Emily and others .
Looking at it, it has certainly risen for the past week .
“It’s true . Then it’ll surely go higher up in the future . ” (Ryouta)
“My expectation is that the three will compete for the two spots . ” (Ena)
“Three people in two slots?” (Ryouta)
“2nd, 3rd and 1st will not change . ” (Ena)
Ena who sends a wink to me saying that .
“Next year huh…” (Ryouta)
“… . . (Tilt head)” (Eri)
Eri who grabs my clothes tightly and tilts her neck to look up .
“I’m just thinking about eating Emily’s delicious rice and trying hard for another year . ” (Ryouta)
“… (Nod nod)” (Eri)
Listening to Emily’s rice, Eri brightened her eyes .
I hope this time next year, she’ll have a better smile .
I secretly wanted to .
