243. Bonus stage




Huh?

 Telldungeon, first basement level.
 The dungeon I flew into for work, but there wasn't a single adventurer in sight.

 In a way, this is the first time I've seen it.

 It is crawling with monsters, but not a single adventurer is in sight.
 It's a common sight in Nifongnium, but this is the first time I've seen it like this in any other dungeon.

What's going on here?
I'll ask him.

 Leia, who had followed me around for the lap, ran to a nearby rest stop.

 The benefit of the Cyclo Dungeon Association, a rest stop in the dungeon.
 Leia opened the door and went inside - there were people there.

 After talking to the staff at the rest stop, Leia came right back.

'Master, it looks like Phosforus has appeared.
Phosphorus? I'm not familiar with that name, are you a monster?
No, it's a dungeon.
"Dungeons. ...... Ah!

 It's been so long since I've noticed it.
 Yes, that's the name of the dungeon.

 I was curious about it a long time ago and looked it up, just like the gold is called Aulum, and one of the things I looked up was Phosphorus.

 Like tellurium, silicon, and nihonium.
 It's the name of a dungeon, just like those things.

It appeared and the adventurers disappeared from here ...... a new dungeon was created!

 Knock!
 I heard a heavy object fall to the ground.
 I turned around at the sound and saw Cell picking up a figure-sized statue from the ground.

 A statue of me, a statue posed as if I was gun=cata with two guns.
 A statue with a whole new composition!

 When Cell was seen picking it up, Gohon, he coughed.

'It's not like that,'
'No, no, no, no, no, you can't just say it's like nothing happened!
Fosforus is a bonus stage.

 Cell completely dismisses my interruptions and begins to talk.

It's a moving dungeon, a dungeon that appears in different cities at random times. It's a special dungeon that doesn't belong to any city because it disappears within a day after it appears and goes away.
'You're going to pretend it didn't happen altogether, but okay.

 I chuckled and asked a question to get my mind back on track.

'I know you only show up for one day, but why is this a bonus stage? If there are no adventurers here, does that mean it's a really good dungeon?
It's money.
"Kane.

 Me returning the oomph, my pronunciation of the word is a flat thing.

"You mean gold ...... this?

 I take the money from this world out of my pocket.

 Bills and coins.
 They're in pirouettes, and their value and face value are almost the same as Japanese yen.

'Hmm. Fosforus is a dungeon that drops money directly from the dungeon, and it doesn't depend much on the status of the drop.
So whoever you are, you're going to get some cash for it?
Hmm. A very strange dungeon.
......

 You defeat monsters in dungeons and drop money directly into them.
 It's certainly a bit strange, but I'm used to that kind of feeling in games, so it's not too strange for me.
 Still, it's not a little strange (、、、、), but that's probably because I've gotten used to this world.

But when everyone ...... goes over there, you're going to have less supplies.
It's also why my family controls the dungeon.
Yeah?

 What do you mean? He looks at the cell with a face like, "I don't know.

'If everyone goes to get the money directly, like they do now, then we'll have less stuff. Because if you get the money directly, there's no hassle.
Indeed.
But doing so will eventually make things scarce, and the value of things will rise far more than money.
Don't go to ...... inflation.

 Cell nodded clearly.

 He looked inside the dungeon again.
 The usually rambunctious adventurers were completely absent.
 It's a situation where production has completely stopped at this moment.
 I don't have to think too hard to see that this is not a good situation.

''However, for one day, the stockpile of supplies is enough, and having plenty of cash in the hands of the primary producers is a good thing, as it will boost the economy.
Yeah.

'Ah! Satou-san!
Yeah? Ena's mother?

 I turned toward the voice, outside the dungeon, and saw Ena's mother from the entrance.
 She was running a grocery store and not an adventurer, and she was watching me from outside, like she was afraid to step into the dungeon because she couldn't fight.

 The other side couldn't come in, so I headed over and we were outside the dungeon.

'What's going on?'
'Um ...... today's watermelon is ......'

 Ena's mother looked at me with a horrified, pale, and frowning expression.
 Cell comes out of the deserted dungeon.

 Oh, I see.
 All the adventurers have gone to Fosforus, and they're worried about that.

 Like the watermelon, I have a few contracted production--like things.
 One of them is a watermelon that I'm delivering to Ena's parents' house.

'Don't worry, I'll get it to you later, like I always do.
'Oh! Thank you! Thank you!

 Ena's mother bowed her head over and over again.

 Fosforus looks interesting and interesting, but this one is a prior commitment from before, so let's make this one a priority.

 On this day, all the other adventurers entered Fosforus, so when the Lyota family delivered their drops as usual, they were thanked here and there.

     ☆

 The next day, for some reason, Phosphorus didn't disappear!
