The next day, I was taking a morning walk when I noticed a lot of noise around the dungeon entrance.
　Something else was going on!　When I arrived, the air was unexpectedly bright.

　A dozen or so villagers had formed a circle, with a man in the middle of the circle.
　I've seen the man's face before, the father of the father and son I rescued yesterday, a man named Alan.
　Alan is surrounded by villagers, showing them something in the palm of his hand.

'It's Mr Sato, you've come to the right place.

　Alan saw me and spoke to me. At the same time, the villagers around me turned to look at me at the same time.
　I was curious about what had happened, so I approached them.

"Thank you for yesterday, Sato-san," I said. You did a great job.
He'll be fine.
Thanks. But more importantly, Satou-san, look at this.

　Alan held out his hand, and when I looked at it, I saw a few grains of gold on the palm of his hand.
　It's probably the gold sand that was dropped in this dungeon, the amount is a bit smaller than a BB bullet if you put it together.

''What's wrong with this?''
We're in a dungeon!
You killed a monster and dropped it?
'Yes!　Hey Satou-san, how much does this thing cost?
'Money, yes. ......'

　The world's currency, the pillow and the yen, are worth roughly the same, put that together with the value of gold.

Pure gold is about 20 grams per cubic centimeter, and one gram is roughly 4,000 yen ...... piro, so that's roughly 20,000 or so.
"'Oh,'

　It was a rough calculation, but when the villagers heard it, they shouted in unison.

''Wow, this alone costs 20,000?''
f*ckin' money.
I wanna go to the dungeon. Hey, Mr. Alan, how strong are the monsters?
How long did it take you to collect that?

　The assembled villagers surrounded Alan and questioned him.
　A closer look reveals that they are all men, all of whom are aware of the gold and its value, and their eyes change color in unison.

These monsters are very strong, and they are also very cunning. The only people who can do that are probably me, ...... Kane and Carlo.
How long did it take you to collect it?
We've been doing this since last night, we've been doing this all night long.

　The excitement subsided a bit as Alan replied.
　'It's a dangerous place with only a limited number of people who can get in, and after an evening of work, the results are as good as said 'not so sweet.

'I don't know how strong it is, but we should be able to save some time.
Is it true, Mr. Sato!

　Alan bites back.

'The more you go around a dungeon, the more efficient it becomes. The more you go around a dungeon, the more efficient it becomes, the more efficient it becomes, like how to kill monsters and how to get around the dungeon. The more you dive, the more you naturally optimize those things. That's why if you have 20,000 on the first day, you should definitely be able to do better than that if you become one.
"'Ooooooooooh!

　There was more admiration from the villagers.
　I remembered the arena at the harvest festival and said, "The stronger you are, the stronger you become.

The more you dive, the stronger you get, and if you're lacking in strength, you can get some tips from someone who's been diving for a while, and that should lower the bar a bit. I'm sure Alan would agree.
'If you ask me, ...... that hateful demon had a habit of moving around. I think Jed can do it too, if that one is clear.
Me too!

　The youngest man in the room surrounding Alan, his eyes sparkled.

'All that's left is, well, we can get a party together and go in. If you go in separately, you will be sent to a different place, but if you go in at exactly the same time, you will only be sent to the same place. If you cooperate with your friends, the threshold will be even lowered, right?
'Oh!　There's plenty of potential for more than one person. There's potential for all of us here.

　Alan nodded, and the villagers got even more excited.

'You mean we can do it too?'
There's a dungeon in the village, so it's my turn now.
I'm gonna make some money and then I'm gonna ask Leah to marry me.

　The villagers were getting more and more excited as they said to each other - the last one, take it back, that was a bad idea.

　I gave them all some advice.
　I told them how to get into dungeons, how to make money, everything I could tell them.

And most importantly, don't overdo it when you go into a dungeon. The goal is to defeat monsters and bring back drops, and keep bringing them back, so you should never overdo it.

　When I said this with a straight face, the villagers fell silent in unison. They looked at me with the same straight face.
　Maybe, but that's what the adventurers of this world have to say.

"You'd do well to remember this phrase: 'It's still possible. And the moment you do, you'll turn back. If you force yourself to fall, you'll lose everything.
Ugh.

　Alan grunts.
　This guy ...... was reckless as soon as he could.

'There's a saying: "If you go home, you can still come",'

　It's not a dungeon-related saying, but it's a saying that needs to be promoted in this world where everything is dropped in dungeons and dungeons are meant to be explored.
　In a world where everything is dropped from dungeons and dungeons are to be walked around, I thought it was a maxim that needed to be promoted.

　　　　　I'm not going to let it go.

　We got separated from Alan and his friends and wandered around the village.
　Once we left the dungeon, the village became quiet and empty.

　I thought it wouldn't be bad to relax in a place like this, but then I suddenly felt an air of somberness, though quiet is quiet.
　In front of the village chief's house, which was introduced yesterday, there were a number of villagers and a group of adventurer-looking men in front of it.
　The villagers stared at the adventurers with hostile eyes.

''Lyota!''
Alice. What's going on here?

　I ask Alice, who came running to me from the village.

'The Same-Tyrene people are here.
"Same-Therefore?
I'm the patron of this village.
"Patron?

　I nodded my head, what's the point?

Well, there are villages without dungeons. It's like this one. Those villages are usually funded by the help of a large city.
'Aid of what ...... ah!

　I suddenly remembered Seren.
　A dungeon that was born in the middle of a cyclo and hetero, in the middle of nowhere. Hence the dungeon where the two cities ended up fighting each other.

　Unlike those, if a dungeon was born in the middle of a village, within the village's sphere of influence, it would naturally belong to that village.
　By extension, it would belong to that patron's city.

　In other words, a patron is an upfront investment to secure a dungeon.

'Yeah, that's what I mean. So when I heard about the creation of the dungeon, the great people of the city of Samethrene came to me.
Okay.

　Well, that's a given.
　But if that's the case, what's this pensive atmosphere?

　The adventurers must have been the ones who escorted the big guy from Samethrene, and the villagers are staring at them.
　What the hell is going on here?

Get out!

　I could hear angry voices coming from inside the village chief's house.
　Obviously, it was not a good development.

　The adventurers frowned, while the villagers, on the other hand, looked like they deserved it, and a few were even gutted.

　Meanwhile, the door to the chief's house was roughly opened and a well-dressed middle-aged man came out.

Wait, wait, we are--
'Sure, we got help when we woke up the village, but then they didn't do anything, and even then there was nothing to talk about with the place that didn't even give us relief when the dungeon came up!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

　The villagers concurred with the chief's anger.

'It's natural to be angry, Samethyllene is visible from here.
Is that so?

　I look at Alice in surprise.

'Yes, the trees block it, but I can see it through the occasional gap.
That's a lot closer than Cyclo.
I'm pretty sure he was going to ask for help.

　Alice was also uncomfortable talking like that.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have the same thing happen to you.
　It's natural that the villagers would be angry, and that's what they're doing now.

''I want you to calm down and think this through, we can't realistically run and maintain that dungeon on Indor alone.
Ugh. ......

　The village chief grunts.

　That's right.
　Just as Alan and the others didn't know anything about dungeons, the village chief couldn't possibly know how to run a village with a dungeon.

　That's why I'm a troubled village chief .......
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on with your own personal life.

"Don't worry about it.
"Huh?
'Indor will be under a benefactor!

　The chief looks at me and declares.
　The great man, the adventurer, and the villagers who were present. They all looked at me.

　Before long, the villagers cheered.
