53. Genius Sometimes God, later Prince




 The next day, I came to Nihonium in the morning as usual.
 As I entered the basement floor, I came across Princess Margaret and her gang.

 They are the ones who sell boxes of air dropped by monsters defeated by a beautiful girl named Princess Margaret.
 The leader of the gang sees me and smiles.

"Hi, Sato-san.
Hi.
'I was going to say thank you when I saw you. Thank you for using Pandora Box. You've raised the profile of this box a lot, thanks to you, Sato-san.
Really?
Thank you so much.
More importantly, you're producing air today?

 As I listened, I looked around the dungeon.
 I find Princess Margaret and her four assistants, who look fluffy in the distance.
 They are in the middle of a battle right now. A familiar scene with the four men weakening them to the extreme and Princess Margaret stabbing them to death.

'Ah. Sales have been a little slow lately, and I'm trying to figure out what to do about it.
That's .......

 It's the air that's selling.
 The fact that it's been selling so well is already unbelievable.

It's not that Princess Margaret's popularity is diminishing, but whatever.
'Can't I sell something else?'
The other one?
'Yes, you're going to use Pandora's Box to show off that girl to the producers, right? Then I feel like there are more things that could be sold. Like, say, pants.
-Oh!

 The man's eyes widened in amazement at the grand opening of his eyes.

'Are you a genius!'
...... might be more of an old man.

 I regretted it a bit after I said it. When was the last time I heard of Brucella?

'It sells! It sells, but the image of Princess Margaret is ......
It's a yogic, in a way, the act of cracking open a chicken's belly to get the eggs out.
?

 The man nodded his head.
 I see, the proverb doesn't work in the world of the Drop.

 Explaining it would be a pain in the ass, so I fudged it appropriately.

'It's something else: ...... Mmm, that's a tough one.

 I saw the man snarling and I had an idea.
 I've been thinking about the girl called "The Princess," whose producer label I could sell.

 And then I remembered yesterday.
 Smith brought in a proposal to provide Emily with a weapon and a billboard.

 'Brand,' the word popped into my head.

'How about a ring, or something?'
"Rings?
Yes, the ring. The ring produced by Princess Margaret. It's not degrading, and yet you can sell it essentially the same way as air and pants, right? Yes, ...... with the tagline 'Princess Margaret's Ring for You'.
You're God!

 The man complimented me further.

'Yes, I like the ring! Very good! If it's a ring, it's a macro ride, not a cyclo. Then you'd have to hire an adventurer: ......

 The man picked his jaw and began to mumble.
 You're a businessman at heart, who sees a business opportunity and immediately explores the possibilities to make it a reality.

 I don't want to interrupt you, so I'm going to--

"Yikes!

 I heard a scream.
 I looked to see what it was, and it was Princess Margaret's scream.
 The four assistants were knocked down or blown away by the surprise attack of several skeletons that appeared from the walls and the ground.

 After eliminating the men, the skeletons went towards Princess Margaret.

 Quickly, she pulled out her gun and fired a series of restraining rounds.
 The skeletons were restrained by the rope of light as they raised their bone-only arms to ostracize Princess Margaret.

 He steps in and flies backwards, holding Princess Margaret, who is about to sit up, in his arms.
 While in the air, I quickly switched to normal bullets and fired a series of shots at the skeleton.
 Several of the consecutive shots caught the skeleton and crushed its bones.

 Almost as soon as it landed, the skeleton disappeared (、、、、、), leaving nothing behind.

'Are you okay?'
Ah, .......

 Princess Margaret pushed my chest away with her little hands.
 I turned my face away and slumped. Her face was stained with vermillion.

"Are you okay, Princess!
Yeah, I'm fine. ......

 The princess replied in a faint voice to the man who came running up to her.
 The man was so relieved that the princess was safe that he turned to me and bent his head.

'Thank you! Thank you so much!
Thank God you're okay.
Let me do something for you.
You don't have to go that far.
I'm sure the attack that buried the skeleton just now is expendable. It's in the category of arrows and such. I'm really sorry to let you use that kind of thing in a dungeon with no drops like this. Right! I'll pay you back with a ring.
What?
'I was just thinking of selling the princess's ring with the cereal on it. Please take that number one!
It's the other way around.
'The princess is frail, you are flattered, you saved her life. Please!

 The man bowed further.
 Well, I'll take what I can get.

     Stars.

 I separated from the guys and went to the fourth floor of the Nifonium basement.
 I had a quick encounter with Mummy, and since I was almost at close range of the surprise attack, I took him down with my body art, and then shot a recovery round into the bandage to make him disappear.

 The drop did not appear.

''Hmm.''

 We checked the situation and proceeded further into the dungeon.
 This time it's a pair of mammies.

 Noticing the speed difference between the two mammies approaching, I first turned around and ran away.
 I turned around and shot a penetrating bullet when the pursuing mammy was in a line back and forth.
 The guided penetrating bullets pierced the heads of the mammies lined up in a straight line and blew them away in succession.

 The flesh disappears and the remaining bandages fall to the ground with a tangled feeling.
 I hit a recovery into it and make it disappear.

 The drop was still not there.

 After assessing the situation, I reached into the pouch at my waist.
 There were five grainy things inside.

 --Maximum HP raised to 0.
 --HP max raised by 0.
 --Vitality raised by 1.
 --Vitality raised by 1.
 --Vitality raised by 1.

 Your ability boost call is now a call for grains--a group of seeds.
 The amount for defeating Princess Margaret and the amount for coming down to the fourth basement level.
 A total of five bodies were collectively called for.

 Porch, the item that was dropped when I defeated the Hagremono Slime Sultan.
 The effect is to take the dropped items directly into this one.

 It's similar to Collection Box and Pandora Box, but the biggest difference is that you can put the dropped items directly into the box.
 From the side, it looks like "I didn't drop".

 This is a great piece of equipment.
 Up until now, I've always been careful not to be seen the moment I took down Hagremonos on the street or in public, but now I don't have to worry about that at all.

 While I was thinking about it, more mammies appeared, so I killed them instantly and cleansed the bandages too.
 After I did so, I turned the pouch upside down to avoid touching its contents.
 The seeds fell to the ground.

 -- Strength increased by 1.

 I took it and increased my ability.
 I've taken it and increased its power, and now it's stuck in the pouch because I can't touch it while it's in there.
 If I store them in my pouch and take them out of the dungeon to turn them into hagrefactos, I can save the cost of a collection box for the humble collection of special bullets.

'Is there any other use for it?'

 While I was trying to think of a use for this characteristic.
 I defeated the mammy one by one in a workmanlike manner.

 My physical strength increased from E to D.
