 Another evening, I came to "Lyota" to collect an accelerated bullet.
 A village of monsters, named after me, Lyota.

'Oh ......'

 As we entered the village, I sounded both amazed and overwhelmed.

 The village was overflowing with trash, though it wasn't a mess.
 The work of the monsters, the trash to be dealt with, was piled up here and there.
 The amount of trash piled up is more than twice as much as before.

 The monsters attacked the pile of trash as an opponent.

 The increase in volume made it look like a diorama from a distance, making it look like a scene from a movie where a monster destroys a city.

'Ryota-san,'

 Clayman came from the village to find me.

'Hello ...... no good evening!
Yeah. More importantly, what's going on here? Do you have more garbage than usual?
Yes, that's right. When I told many people that the name of this village was changed to Lyota, villages and towns from all over the country asked us to dispose of our garbage. If I accepted that, this is what happened.
You mean more work: ......

 I'm aware of this phenomenon.
 It's a billboard.

 A company puts a celebrity on a billboard and that increases sales.

"Newcomer says hi to me," right?
'Yes! As expected of Lyota-san, you can see everything.

 I see.
 Like the billboard, I'm sure that's why they want to connect with me.

 Well, the fact that you're getting more work is a good thing.

"Are we getting paid for this?
'Yes, of course it is! Oh, here's what I'm going to give to Lyota-san next time.

 Saying that, Clayman held out ten ten thousand pillow bills and one hundred thousand pillows.

 Considering that the first bill I received was 20,000, I could say that my sales had gone up considerably.
 I would have been more worried if I hadn't been given them, so I took them and put them in my pocket.

 The amount of money I've received so far is nearly a million.
 If anything happens in the future, I'll give it back to them.

 With that in mind, I walked into the village that was in the Great Monster War to collect the accelerator bullets.

'Phew. ......'

 Suddenly, I walked past some kind of tired-looking monster.
 It was a giant frog, its body was purple in color.
 Its name is Poison Frog, I believe.

Are you okay?
'What? Oh! Lord Lyota! Don't worry, I can still get there myself!

 Poison Frog said and stood up in a flash and exhaled a breath of poison from his mouth.
 The poisonous breath wrapped around the trash he was in charge of, dissolving it.

 The garbage was taken care of, but I didn't miss Poison Frog's increasingly pale face.

'Don't take it easy, if you're not feeling well, take a break ...... or rather, just stand there.

 I said, pulling out my gun and firing an infinite recovery round.

''This, this is a ...... force to be reckoned with,''
It's just a band-aid on his recovery. But don't get too far ahead of yourself.
Thank you!
Thank you, Mr. Lyota.

 I was thanked by Poison Frog and Clayman one after the other, and I casually looked around.

'Somehow, a lot of them look pale.
...... Yes, I do.

 Clayman replied with a complicated look on his face.

'Actually, we all haven't recovered much.
Too much work?
'That's partly true, but ...... we monsters don't recover much in the same bunk as humans do.
Yeah?
'I knew it, or rather, how could I say it, I recover better in the same environment as the dungeon where I was born.
Does a dungeon mean it has to be an underground passage or a limestone cave?
'Yes. Oh, of course, I recover reasonably well in a human bunk.
I see. ...... A lot of people don't feel well, do they?

 I look around again as I listen, yes, I can see the sharpness of his body, the power of his magic, the flames and ice he's spitting, and so on.
 A lot of things aren't performing as well as they should.

''Right.''
All right, get all the volunteers. We'll get you back on your feet like we did.
"--Hey! Thank you!

 Clayman thanked him and ran to call his fellow monsters.
 It would be easy to heal them all with infinite recovery bullets, but that wouldn't solve the problem.

 To solve the problem, go to .......

     ☆

 At night, in the city of Ciclo, a familiar real estate agent.
 I'm sitting across from Antonio, a skinny acquaintance of mine, sitting across from him.

 After drinking a cup of expensive looking tea served to me and making small talk.

'So, how can I help you today? Are you looking for another new mansion?
No, I want to build a house.
Yes, thank you.

 Antonio's voice was sober and upbeat, perhaps because he knew it was going to be a big deal.

'What kind of house would you like to see, sir?
A dormitory.
A dormitory?
Yeah, it's a building that houses a lot of people: don't you know ......?

 I thought that maybe there was no concept of a dormitory in this world, so I checked.

'I'm aware of that. But a dormitory ......?
'It's not just a dormitory either. I want the interior to look like a dungeon.
Like a dungeon?
Yes.

 I took a quart of paper out of my pocket, unfolded it and put it on the table.

 I had drawn it beforehand before I came here.

'This is ...... more like a tower than a house,'
Oh, the tower. For example, the first floor is a dungeon like Tellurium, the second floor is a dungeon like Nihonium. Each dungeon has its own characteristics, right? It's like an underpass or a limestone cave.
There's a lot of house style to it.
There's a place for that.

 I was a bit surprised by this, but it wasn't the point of the story, so I let it pass for now.

'I want each floor to be built in a different dungeon style. Is that possible?
Any special features at ......?
No, it's just a matter of mimicking the environment.

 I told him what Clayman had told me as a reminder.
 There's no such thing as the power of the earth's veins or magic or any of that crap, as long as the environment is similar.

 In short, it's an exaggerated version of "I can't sleep on a different pillow".
 So as long as you can recreate the appearance of the environment, that's all that matters.

Then it can be done.
'Right. I'd like you to put this up in the new village ...... 'Lyota'.
This is the village where Satou-san's monsters live.
The sooner we know that, the sooner we can talk. I doubt it.
It's going to cost roughly hundreds of millions ...... and in some cases billions.

 It's a fair price, but it's within expectations.

If you let me split it up.
I understand. I'm asking for you, Sato-san, of all people. I'll take care of it.
Oh, yeah. Thanks. You have collateral--
'No, no, Satou-san can be trusted, and besides, this is such a big deal, this is the one to thank.
Well, thank you.

 He said that Antonio would be gathering craftsmen and such again on another day and we would have another meeting.
 For now, it looks like the renovation of the monsters' dwelling place will be done successfully.
