107. Still part-time job




What's Indor?
It's a city that recently spawned a dungeon, a drop of gold sand ...... ore drop that suits you just fine.
What?
What?

 Cliff is surprised. What is it? The way this surprises me.

'Dungeons are born ......?'
...... what?
Yeah, I've never heard of that.
'...... Even recently, there's been some nihonium born in Cyclo? And then there's the selenium that would be Cyclo's.
Oh, really?

 Cliff looked half surprised, half confused.
 He didn't even know that.

 The common knowledge that dungeons were born, or the information that Nihonium and Selenium were born.
 Neither of them had been informed, and that man had been exploiting me one way or the other.

 I'm angry, and I feel like I'm going to snap, to say the least.

"Again and again. You're better off in Indore.
'Duh, but ......'
Yeah.

 It was going to take some time to convince him, so he quickly pulled out his gun and shot a fusion of recovery bullets without question - a sleeping bullet - into Cliff.
 Cliff, who was shot by the special bullet, turned white and was instantly drawn into the dream world.

     Stars.

 While Cliff was asleep, they brought him to Indor.
 After only a few days away, Indor is full of life, with more people and things, and renovations and new construction beginning here and there.

 The mood of the villagers is upbeat and it's clear that this is a blessing from the gold of Aurum.

'This, this is ......'
That dungeon Indor is the one I mentioned earlier. A picture is worth a thousand words, so let's get into the dungeon.
'What? But,
Come on. Let's go.

 I pulled a flabbergasted Cliff and headed for the Auldurm dungeon.

'Ah, benefactor-sama.'
If you're coming, you should have told me ahead of time.
"You go home first and let your mother know that her benefactor is here again and to prepare a banquet.

 Just as I was heading towards the dungeon, villagers gathered one by one and spoke to me in a friendly manner.

 The villagers looked disappointed when I told them that I couldn't go to the banquet this time due to other business.
 Seeing this, Cliff opened his mouth with a pop and let it go.

''............''
What's going on?
No, could Lyota be an amazing person?
I'm just an adventurer, and in this village, I'm the head of the Association for hire, but that's about it.
"Association president?

 Oh, God!
 You don't even know that.
 I'm getting more and more angry at that man.

 In the meantime, we came to Aulum.
 A group of adventurers and villagers had gathered outside the dungeon.
 I found Alan there and approached him and spoke to him.

'Alan,'
Benefactor.
What's this?
This one? Everyone waits until the next dungeon entry. It's a system that allows you to enter at a decent amount of time and not change the structure of the dungeon at any other time.
I see.

 Aurum is a rogue dungeon, the structure changes every time a human enters.
 So you're going to make these rules so they don't change in the middle of the game.

 So that means I'm out of time.
 I decided to put Cliff aside for the moment until we entered the dungeon and talk to Alan.

'How's the village doing?'
'We're doing great, thanks to our benefactor. Most of the old guys from the past have added to their houses, and most of the young guys who put off getting married are already married. That's all thanks to our benefactor.
I hope it's working.
''Yes benefactor-sama, my son has leveled up, but the plant drops are higher now. Just as that guy is starting to wake up to the joys of dungeons, I don't know what to do.
Then you should come to Cyclo. We can take care of you for a while.
'No! We can't afford to bother our benefactor.
Don't worry about it, you need to be where you can make a difference.
Thank you, benefactor!

 After Alan, the villagers continued to talk to him one by one.
 From their expressions and tone of voice, I could tell how vibrant and hopeful this village was.

 After they finished talking to each other, they came back to Cliff.
 For some reason, Cliff was piqued again.

'What's the matter,'
Why are they so close to each other ......?
What?
"Adventurers are rivals, always looking at each other with an eye to steal the prize. Don't open your mind to anyone but your friends, and be wary of anyone who comes near you.
...... You heard the captain.

 Cliff nodded quietly.
 Totally, that's what he was blowing up.
 I've heard that it's better to cut off interaction with the rest of the world in order to brainwash them, but that's still terrible.

 It means they really only think of you as a slave.
 The story of the captain and whatnot and the circumstances that Cliff had been forced to go through.

 It was those stories from a while ago, and he was so angry that he could not manage it.

     ☆

 Aurum dungeon, first basement level.
 When it was time to enter the dungeon, I entered the dungeon with Cliff at last.

'Whoa! The landscape has changed.
It's called a rogue dungeon, and the structure of the dungeon changes as people enter.
Yeah?
But here's a monster. You're going to have to take it down.
Okay, okay.
"Be careful. That guy is very good at pulling a fast one. No matter what he does to you, don't let your guard down until he's gone.

 Cliff nodded further and took a step toward the little demon.
 Let the battle begin.

 As expected of a level 66 and canned, Cliff was used to fighting.
 The battle progressed with the pace against the little devil from start to finish, and the rest came to a point where it was just a toddler.

''Lyota.
What?
'What? Etohito's ......
......

 Why did you call me before you dropped the bomb? I cocked my head, but after a few seconds I remembered.
 That's always the case when Cliff was with that man.
 Cliff and the other girl's companion would work together to weaken the monster, and then the older man, the one we called "Captain," would finish him off.

 That's just the way it works.

"You're going to kill it, not me.
Me?
Well, you're going to have to finish him off.
......

 Cliff was visibly troubled.
 As if it was a lie that the battle had been going smoothly and even overwhelming, the little devil started to fight back.

'What's wrong?'
Oh, I'm the one who beat you up.
....... Just do it.
I can't ......! I could go easy on you to the death.

 Cliff is in trouble.
 He can't seem to move because of the way in which he is able to cut the monster down to the last minute.

 You can see the first monster clearly and cut it down to the last minute, but you can't unleash the final blow to strike a blow to end it.

 Spell.

 That's the word that came into my head.

"......

 I think about it for a moment, and I fire a recovery round at the little demon.
 The bullet hits it and the little demon recovers.

 Then Cliff can move, and he attacks the little demon, which has recovered and is able to move better, with more attacks.
 And then he or she stopped, and then he or she was able to kill it with one more blow.

Kaku ...... what should I do?

 Cliff was in trouble, too.
 I still wouldn't let him toddle, but he can attack smoothly until toddle.
 If it's ............!

 Once again, he fired a recovery round at the little demon.
 A monster that recovers, a cliff that can move even more.

 As I recall, after recovering earlier, he put three attacks in and went easy on it.

 Focusing, I count Cliff's attacks.
 One shot, two shots - and then a third.
 He interrupts, firing a mere conventional round between the second and third.

 This one's bullet hit me first, and the little devil's strength was reduced.
 Cliff noticed that, but he couldn't stop his hand in a hurry.

 The third shot - an overkill - knocked the little devil down.

'Tao......ed.'
Here's more than that.

 Cliff stared at his hands, stunned, and I picked up the dropped, dropped gold sand, which had fallen and handed it to him.

'Hey, what's this?'
You beat him to death. You've earned it.
Me?

 Cliff looked like he didn't know what it meant and compared me and the gold dust in turn.

     Stars.

 Indore's village of Indore, a grateful branch of Swallow.

 The building of the store was finished and the new one was built, and he came there with Cliff.
 He called the clerk and let him do the buying.
 After that, I supported Cliff as if it was a rehab job and made him beat it and drop some sand gold.

 It wasn't that efficient since it was a drop C, but I still made some money.
 And I'll let them buy it.

'Here you go.'

 A familiar clerk, Ena, came back to finish her assessment.
 She placed some bills and coins on a tray and held them out in front of Cliff.

'After taxes, that's 7,320 piro,'
...... 7000 piro, this, me?
Yeah, you did.
......

 Various expressions came and went on Cliff's face.
 Surprise, confusion, and excitement.

'I'm ...... so much ...... in just one day.'

 It was also sad to hear that it was so much.
 7,000 piro, still about a part-time day's pay.
 It's not the amount of money that a grown man, a can-stopper, and a competent drop C player would normally be impressed by.

 Still, it must be a ridiculous amount of money from Cliff, who was getting 30,000 take-home pay a month under that man.

 Next, my heart catches up with me.
 Cliff took the money with emotion and joy on his face.

'Thank you, Lyota,'

 He smiled happily.
