220. To comfort the child




 The next day, Lyota's village.

 Immediately the contractors that Antonio had arranged entered and began to build houses here and there.

 We decided to build more than one house.
 Because there are many types of dungeons.
 It could be something like an underground passage, a limestone cave, a hole dug in the ground, or a ninja house.

 There are many types of dungeons and monsters in this village.
 I wanted to cover all of the patterns as much as possible, and make sure we had enough space for everyone to fit in and to rest and recover.
 With that in mind, I decided to build more than one.

 As I was watching the start of construction while collecting the accelerated bombs, Clayman came over and spoke to me.

'Mr. Lyota,'
'Clayman. It's going to be loud with construction for a while, but bear with me.
'No way! It's what they do for everyone, patience. We're all rather excited about it.
...... Looks like it.

 I chuckled.
 The monsters were gathered next to me, already starting to build a framework in several places.
 They were frolicking a lot.

 The bird-like monsters were flapping their wings, and the gorilla-like ones were drumming away on their chests.
 Some of the slimes had a nihilistic face, half-melted, and looked like the bubble slime in the example game.

 It was obvious from the side that everyone was happy.

''But are you sure?''
Yeah?
It's a monster, but I'm starting to get it. This is going to cost a lot of money, isn't it?
In its own way.
I can't thank you enough for all you've done for me.

 He stopped his line with a decoupling of Clayman.

'Don't worry about that part. I'm doing this for me.
Haha. ......

 Clayman gives me a look that says I don't understand.
 No wonder you don't understand, but it's the truth.

 Yes, it's for my own good.
 There's no way I'm going to overlook them or leave them outside the dungeon when their name is "Haguremonos".

 I can't help but compare their current situation with my own situation as a former employee of a black company and I can't help but want to help them.

 This is what I do for myself.

 That's why I'm so happy when I see these boisterous monsters having a blast.

Master Sato.

 In the afternoon, as I left the store after further meetings with Antonio, I ran into Cell as he walked by.
 I've been called all sorts of things, but only Seru calls me by "Satou-sama".

 It's not condescending, and I can sense genuine respect from the way Cell calls me.

'Oops,'

 A passerby hit him with a don, and Cell dropped the figure in his sleeve.
 He picked up the figure with a clear face.

 I could see it well for a moment.
 'My figure, the one in the pose with my hand out and a deco pin.

'Working too fast! It's not even a few hours since I decopinned him!
I don't know what you're talking about.

 Cell, which is a blur.
 Every time I do something, I figure it out (surveillance, by the way?). If only we didn't have this habit of doing this (I still don't know how they do it, including).

 Respect is real, rather than respect, and that includes the ...... figure thing, which feels like a level of "faith" rather than respect.
 I sighed lightly, disgusted by such a cell.

 Cell, on the other hand, said as if nothing had happened.

''I've heard the story. Satou-sama's family is becoming more and more prosperous. It is a joyous occasion.''
'A clan? Not a family?

 I'm finally getting used to being called the Lyota family, and it's a new name for me.

It's a family. The Lyota Family of the keystone, the Margaret Family of the de facto direct lineage, and the Cliff Family. Lyota, the village of a hundred demons in the golden city of Indor.

 Cell says as he counts up.
 The Golden City makes sense, but it's the first time I've ever heard of a village of a hundred demons.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. It is no longer as powerful as that Neptune family.
I'm rather surprised he's so awesome.

 The five "organizations" that Cell mentioned as he counted them up, so it seems they are finally on par with the Neptune family.

''Don't worry, the other side has already reached its peak, but I'm sure Master Sato is just getting started.
No, I'm not competing with you.

 It's true to the word, I don't care about the size game of the organization or anything else.
 That's a "deterrent" these days, though, so it's not as big as it should be.

 But a family, huh?
 It's more comfortable to call it a group than a family.

 While thinking about that, I stood there with Cell.

''Hey!''

 I was suddenly shouted out from right beside me.
 When I turned around to see what was going on, a young man with a strange tousled head was looking straight at me.

'You wanted to see me?'
'Oh! You must be Ryota Sato.
'Yes, but ......'
Okay, let's take me on!
...... Huh?

 The request was too surprising for my head to understand.

The game is ...... what?
You know what I mean. You're a man of your fists.
Does that mean I have to fight a duel?
Oh, yeah. I'm gonna knock you off your feet and make a name for myself in the world.

 Oh, I see.
 I mean, it's a dojo-busting kind of thing. This isn't my house.

I'm sorry, but you don't have to deal with this kind of stuff--
You f*cking coward, you f*cking coward.

 Beep!
 Gogogogogo .......

 A moment later, I thought I heard the air solidify and gain weight.

 My back went creepy, and that scared me, and I glanced right beside me - I saw Cell laughing.
 It's the scariest kind of smile, the kind of smile that instantly shakes your anger meter and all you can do is laugh.

 Oh no, if Cell moves, he's going to die worse than this guy Minch.

'I'll take your buckskin--'

 He took a moment to turn around behind the man who was still slurring his words and patted him on the shoulder.

'--What?'

 The man was surprised and exclaimed.

'What, what do you mean?'

 Poof, he turns around and takes a quick step away from me.
 But I moved further and went behind the man and popped him on the shoulder.

'Nah!'

 The guy got further away, but he got ahead of me one more time and tapped me on the shoulder from behind.

 Speed SS.
 Even without the accelerated bullets, I could easily get behind the man.

'Nah, nah, nah ......'

 I tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

'What trick--'

 He taps me on the shoulder from behind.

'No way!'

 He taps me on the shoulder from behind.

'Mo, no more.'

 I tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

 He didn't stop when the man started crying.
 I went around behind him in an instant and kept tapping him on the shoulder until the man screamed and ran away.
 I didn't chase him away, as expected, because I didn't have to and I'd already reached my goal.

 There was a round of applause and cheers from all around me.
 Because of the fact that I was doing it in the street, before I knew it, quite a few onlookers had gathered.

 Cell came out from among the onlookers and came toward me.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it. You have treated him like a child with overwhelming force.
It's not a good idea to get into a fight in town.

 It's just a token, because if I left it alone, Cell would do something.

That's the way I see it, Mr. Sato.
...... That's fine.

 I remembered something and slowly walked up to the cell and tapped it on the shoulder from right in front of me as normal.

 Then the figure popped out of the cell's sleeve and fell to the ground.
 My figure, I posed to tap the guy's shoulder earlier - a figure that was 30% better looking and better made.

'So how do you make them? I'm early!
I don't know who did all this.

 Cell scoffed like a politician.
 Straight up.
