The city of Ciclo at night.

The tavern Villadiche.

It’s my favorite place in Ciclo, where they stock a variety of beers from dungeons around the world, changing daily.

Emily and I had come here for a drink after finishing our day’s work.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve been alone with Yoda-san.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been a while. I’ve had more friends lately, and it’s not often we’re alone together like this.

I take a gulp of the beer and order more from the waiter.

There are ten different beers alone, so I prefer to drink them in order, as I’m a taster.

‘Eve still only needs carrots, Alice can’t drink much so I didn’t invite her, but what’s up with Celeste?’

‘Mr. Celeste is home for the night. She said her head is throbbing a bit.

Headache?Are you okay?

He didn’t have a fever, so I’m sure he’ll be fine, but I told him to call me right away if he has any problems.

Okay.

A 5’3″ girl sitting across from me, sipping on the same beer.

She looks like a grown-up, with a good sense of humor at home.

She’s the mother of the family, and if she’s okay with it, then she must be okay with it.

‘Ufufu ……’

What’s going on?

Mr. Yoda, are you aware of this?

What?

Everyone’s been watching Mr. Yoda for a while now.

Me?

I set down my glass of beer and circled the bar with my gaze around the bar.

If you ask me, I feel like I’m attracting a lot of attention.

Both men and women – for some reason, women avert their eyes as soon as they see each other, but Emily was right, most of the customers are glancing at me.

‘Mr. Yoda is already a household name,’

You’re a celebrity.

‘Yes, sir. I’m very proud to be with Yoda like that.

‘Maybe you’re looking at Emily instead of me. More and more of these days, Emily Hammer. If you take a peek at Arsenic every once in a while, he’s carrying nearly 90% of the same thing.

Well, that’s because I like the hammer.

Emily was grandly embarrassed, and she blushed and slumped.

I’m not that used to it either, but Emily is no more immune to being famous than I am to being famous.

It was cute to see Emily embarrassed like that, so I decided to be a little mean to her.

‘Don’t be modest, after all, you’re the number two in the Lyota family.

He said such lines deliberately and loudly so that the people in the bar could hear them.

Instantly, the buzz increased. All eyes were clearly on Emily.

‘She’s number two?It doesn’t look like it.

“Fool, not her, her!Emily Brown, the one who’s been called ‘The Little Giant,’ ‘Our Lady of the Strong Arm,’ and ‘The Rock Shattered in One Swing, Seriously.’

It’s not that great. People are not always what they seem. …… That’s the way Lyota Sato sees it, or maybe it’s her sense of taste, that sets her up as number two. ……

Some of it still lingered on me, but I’m pretty sure most of my eyes were still focused on Emily.

That made Emily more and more embarrassed, and she turned red, not just on her face, but on her arms and toes.

And I thought that was incredibly cute.

And I wanted to show you more and more of what I know about “how great Emily is.

I flaunted her greatness as loudly as I could.

After complimenting Emily at the tavern, they headed home together.

The city of Cyclo at night, a dungeon with monsters appearing 24 hours a day, makes both the adventurers who deal with it and the downtown area that deals with those adventurers a bit of a nightmare.

Even though it’s nighttime, the area you’re passing through is as bright and lively as modern Japan.

A world where everything is dropped from dungeons is bustling enough to make me believe that as long as there are dungeons, they will continue to thrive.

‘Hmm?’

What’s going on?

Emily looks up beside me as I stop and looks up at me with a strange look on her face.

My gaze was glued to a certain stall.

To be precise, it’s the merchandise lined up in the store, the ornate mirrors.

‘What’s wrong with that mirror?’

Emily doesn’t see it, I knew it.

Can you see anything?

Yeah.

Me nodding, I come to the front of the stall and crouch down.

I stare into the mirror, I’m sure of it.

I rub my eyes, it’s not like I’m seeing something weird with the alcohol.

There was a person sitting upright in front of the mirror.

A little woman in a kimono.

That clasped sleeve woman who led me to the magic fruit, the repetition.

She was sitting upright in front of the mirror.

It was silent, but it looked like she was saying, “Here.

I think of her as a “nihonium”.

Then this mirror is definitely a material related to Nifonium.

And she has a troubled look on her face.

She’s sitting upright in front of the mirror, and she’s making a very troubled face.

‘Sir, is that what you want?’

…… Yeah.

I don’t know why, but I knew I had to get the mirror either way.

‘How much,’

Fifteen million piro.

What about ……?

I couldn’t believe my ears for a moment.

‘Fifteen million piro?’

Yes, this is from the old nobleman’s house, that’s why it’s so important.

Antiques, you mean.

That’s what I’m talking about.

Even so, it’s still 15 million piro.

Well, if it’s an antique in a nobleman’s house, it’s probably something like that.

I think rich people would buy it or give it away as an introduction to the world of antiques.

Okay, I’ll buy it.

Always.

‘But give me one day to bring you the money this time tomorrow.

My account was around the 10 million mark, and now I can make 5 million in half a day if I use repetition to its fullest potential.

I don’t have it now, but I can make money until this time tomorrow.

Okay. But I’m leaving town tomorrow, so I can only wait until then.

Okay, it’s all good.

See you tomorrow.

Yeah.

I said and looked at the woman in the clasp sleeve again.

She looked a little relieved and waved me over.

With that reaction, I knew I had to get it more and more.

The next morning, I woke up and stretched.

It’s another nice day this morning, and the house is as comfortable as ever, with Emily maintaining it.

In this physical condition, I could shoot two sets of Repetition with MP’s S and reach five million.

With that thought, I left the room and came downstairs to the living room.

‘Huh?’

I saw Celeste slumped at the dining table.

‘Good morning. What’s going on, Celeste?

‘Oh …… good morning Lyota.’

Are you sure you’re okay?You’re looking a bit pale, though.

I’ll be fine. I always am.

Yeah?No, if you’re not feeling well, you don’t want to be reckless.You’re one of us, and I’ll follow you if anything happens.

Thank you …… I knew Lyota was kind …… but it’s okay, it’s just a magic storm.

Oh, so that’s what’s giving you headaches and problems?

Yeah, I’m fine.

Okay.

I was relieved to hear that.

A magical storm, a natural phenomenon that would make Celeste, a wizard, unable to use magic or make her physically ill.

In modern times, it would be like a low pressure system.

If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do about it, and Celeste’s words about resting and being okay make sense.

…….

………….

……………….

‘Ahhhh!’

What is it, Mr. Lyota? Why are you shouting so loud?

The Magic Storm: ……

A magic storm?

On the first floor, in the place that has been turned into Tsubame’s grateful sub-branch, I face Elsa.

”I hear the magic storm will continue all day today.

She’s a clerk at the buyer’s shop, so she knows the weather – the size and length of the magic storm – because it directly affects the amount of adventurers’ purchases.

So I asked her, and she gave me a hopeless answer.

‘Oh my God. ……’

What’s up, Mr. Lyota?

Actually, I need to make five million by tonight.

‘That’s a piece of cake for you now, Lyota-san!

…… If it weren’t for the magic storm.

……

Elsa, who is huffy, seems to have realized that she too has noticed.

That’s right, the calculation that I can earn 5 million piro in half a day is only based on using Repetition – that final magic that defeats a monster once defeated without question.

Normally I’d be able to make 2 million if it’s a gun or body art, and 3 million if I fevered up to show someone a good point.

During a magic storm, I wouldn’t be able to reach five million.

”Well, that’s not good, is it?

I’ll try to do as much as I can anyway: …… I’m going to pass on the Nifonium in the morning and come into the tellurium like this.

‘I understand. I’ll do my best to support you!

Please!

I entered the tellurium and hunted monsters at random.

Because of the magic storm, the number of adventurers was a bit smaller than usual, so there were many monsters to hunt.

So I went all out, focusing on infinite lightning bullets, but I also used tracking bullets that were easy to hit anyway.

We also used a pouch that sucked the drop in and set it right above the drop so that it would immediately go to the magic cart.

I also remembered where the monsters appeared and when they appeared. With these in mind, I built the most efficient route to hunt the monsters.

I went down from the first basement floor to the second and third floors, and then from the seventh floor to the first floor still.

Anyway, I continued to hunt.

And then – noon.

It was two million and three thousand piro in the morning: ……

Carefully, Elsa, who came to the dungeon to report on the way, said apologetically.

Two million …… that means it’s not enough.

I ran around the dungeon as fast as I could in the morning, but 2 million.

That’s my limit.

Without magic, 2 million in half a day.

With my current equipment, knowledge, and abilities.

That’s 2 million for half a day, with all that at my disposal.

Normally I wouldn’t have a problem at all, in fact, I’d be going, “Wow, 4 million dollars a day is a lot of money”.

Now it’s not enough, I have to make 5 million by night, today I’m …… short.

Plus …….

Phew …….

Are you okay, Mr. Ryota?

Yeah, I’m fine, I’m just a little tired.

‘Good to know …… but then you can go to …… this afternoon.

……

I couldn’t answer that question.

The usual thinking is that if you’re battling in the morning, you’ll make less money in the afternoon.

…… What should I do?

‘Um, …… if you’d like–‘

Elsa was about to say something when two women appeared behind her, from the entrance of the dungeon.

They were the two members of Lyota’s family, Emily and Alice.

‘Emily, and Alice. What’s going on?

I’m here to help Mr. Yoda.

Now that we’re here, it’s all right.

You two are ……?

As I was wondering what this meant, Emily lowered the backpack she had been carrying, that huge backpack she had been carrying when we met, to the ground.

She deftly took out various things from it and began to set it up in the dungeon.

Tables, sofas, and a variety of food.

In no time at all, a resting place was created in one corner of the dungeon.

And it even had the unique warmth of Emily House.

”We’re waiting. We’re going to take a short break here.”

“Rest.

We need to take a break and save our strength to run as fast as we can to the end.

…… Emily.

That was a nice touch.

I’ll take care of it.

Alice?

‘Yes!If I’m here, I’ll be able to locate the monsters that aren’t in combat right now.

Well, a dungeon born skill.

‘Yes!You can’t be completely sure with Lyota.

Yeah.

I can read where the monsters appear, but mine is based on memory and experience.

Alice’s special skills are something I can feel like a radar.

With her support, it would certainly make me more efficient.

‘Emily, Alice: ……’

I don’t need to be impressed, I’m resting now.

And we hunt monsters.

…… Oh!

Yes, now is not the time to be impressed.

I need to recover as best as I can first, so that I can get my guns up this afternoon.

I sit down on the couch and look at Emily and Alice while I rest my body.

‘Thank you,’

I said.

They smiled at each other.

‘You’re welcome,’

That’s my boy.

He said.

Thus, with the support of Emily and Alice.

We picked up the pace exactly in the afternoon and made 3 million piro.

We were safely in time to buy that mirror for 15 million piro.
