270. Ryota's bromide




 The next day, using the mansion's transporter room, he came to Prumbum's place.

'Good morning,'
Ah, .......

 When I called out to him, Plumbum, who had been looking down and drawing something, looked up.
 When he saw me, he smiled happily.

'I've been waiting for you,'
Draw what ...... ah.

 I smiled bitterly as I approached and looked into her hand.
 It was me that Plumbum was drawing.

 It's me, but it's ...... me, not me.

 Ryou-sama.
 It's Master Ryo, the dungeon master, named by Aurum and Alice.

"While you were away, I used it to keep my mind occupied.
Yeah. That's the thing, though, I need a favor.
What is it? I will do whatever you, of all people, ask of me, and I will do whatever I can for you.

 Smiling Prumbum. It pains me to say so, but it helps to say so.

 I haven't directly confirmed the cause and effect, but I'm probably sure of it.
 The dungeon master's appearance has changed to 'Ryo-sama' due to the influence of her being a dungeon spirit and drawing like this.

 Then you can change my appearance as she draws it.

 I'd rather be Dungeon Master Sato Ryota than Dungeon Master Ryo-sama.
 It's not a problem.

I'd like to see you draw something more normal.

 I asked her to pick my words.

'Normal? I'm just drawing it as it appears, though?
Huh?

 I was so surprised that I sounded weird.
 You're drawing it as it looks: ...... as it looks?

 I looked again at the Ryou-sama (me) she had drawn.

 The smooth hair, the sparkling eyes.
 Not just behind her back, but also in her mouth, with a rose in her mouth, and this is just as it looks!

...... Yeah, right.

 In that moment, I knew.
 Yeah, this is a pattern that I can't do anything about, I thought.
 I'll just let her do what she wants.

"Hmm. ......

 After all, Plumbum looks happy to be comparing me to her own drawing of "me" in turn.
 It's a much better look than the cursory and desperate moment when we first met.

 Then there's no stopping him.

Is that what a request is supposed to be?
Yeah, that's fine.
Then do me a favor this time, or I'll do you a favor.
What?
Let me hold your hand .......
Hands?

 I stared at my hand first, then offered it to her.
 Do you want to shake her hand? Or is it a finger-linked lover's hug?

 I expected it to unfold, but it was neither.

 Plumbum tried to grip and tease my hand, as if to check it.

 As if to check its shape.

'What are you doing?'
To tell you the truth, I can't draw well with my hands. That's why I wanted to touch your hand and see if I could learn to draw with it.
'I see. It's definitely hard to get your hands on.

 I'm not much of a drawer.
 I've doodled in the corners of textbooks and in notebooks since childhood and adolescence, but when I draw people, my hands are always crossed in my pockets or behind my back.

 I don't put my hands on them at all, I'd say.
 That's why I could really relate to Plumbum's statement that hands are difficult.

 Prumbum checked the shape of my hand for a while, and then he started to draw again.
 I glanced at it, this time it was my hand, not my whole body.

 That's okay, I thought, I'll let him draw whatever he wants.
 I thought to myself.

'It's done.'
So s*xy!

 Plumbum draws (maybe) my hands were very s*xy.
 Wrinkled fingertips, the balance of joints and flesh.

 It's just a hand, but it exuded a certain s*xiness.
 To be frank, it's s*xy.

Hmm, I was able to draw the real thing.
......

 I could only chuckle at a satisfied Prumbum.

     ☆

 First floor of Plumbum in the afternoon.
 Me, Dale, the head of the TetraMin Society, and representatives of the various buyers and merchant associations.
 All of them gathered to watch what one adventurer was about to do.

 A young female adventurer, equipped with revealing bikini armor, a typical female swordsman.

 As such, she carries a single longsword. A brand new longsword.
 Wielding it, she slashes the fish-type monsters that swim in the air.

 The slashed Plumbum monster was not defeated, but it did not split up either.

''Ooohhhh!''

 The crowd cheered.
 Everyone in the room cheered for not splitting up.

 Dale, who was standing closest and closest to me, took my hand.

'Thank you! Thank you, Lord Lyota!
It's only a prototype, but it works so well, I'll have it mass-produced like this.
'Yes! Thank you!

 Dale is so impressed that his hand tightens its grip on me.

 The woman warrior is using a prototype of the Plumbum weapon that Orton had me make.
 Using Plumbum's hair as a material, it has the effect of preventing the monster division of this dungeon.

 It was a weapon that would improve the efficiency of the dungeon so far.
 With this weapon, Plumbum can hunt with the same level of efficiency as a normal dungeon.

'With this, ...... tetramine will be as good as it used to be: ......
No, I think it will be more than it was.
'What? Wh-Why?

 I pointed behind him to Dale, who wondered.

'There's nothing there but .......'
That's why. I mean, there were merchants there earlier.
Oh, ...... everyone is gone.
'They all started moving all at once because they were convinced it was going to be money. Maybe they're ready for it, but they're stopping it, and they went to move it all together because of this result.
I see!

 There is no race more sensitive to seeing a plane than the merchants, but in this case, it was a relief.
 Dale was clearly relieved to see.

'Thank you so much.'
'Don't worry about it. I just did what I wanted to do.

 Maybe I'm the one who should be rather grateful.
 If Dale hadn't come along, there's a good chance that Plumbum would still be wielding a vendetta in that space.
 I want to thank Dale for giving me the opportunity to manage that.

''Ah.
What's going on?

 Suddenly, the female warrior, who had been trying out the prototype longsword, spoke up.
 She bent down and picked up something, but she had a troubled look on her face when she saw it.

 I approached her to see what it was all about.

'Here: ......'
This is a ...... bu, bromide!

 The warrior woman showed me a photo-sized drawing.
 It was me - no, no.
 No, no, it's a bromide with Master Ryo on it.

"What's this?
I killed a monster and it dropped.
This?
The name is "The Glory of Lyota." ......

 The female warrior, still holding the bromide, gave a huff.
 Did the fact that she held it in her hand make her feel something?

 Immediately after, she "used" the bromide.
 Then the bromide disappeared and 'Ryo-sama' appeared in its place.

"Nah--

 Dungeon Master Ryo-sama.
 I quickly stuck out my hand and tried to apply a repetition - but I noticed.

 The monster is still present in the dungeon, and it's not the Dungeon Master's air.

 What does that mean? I was wondering why, when Ryo-sama moved.
 I attacked the nearest fish that was swimming in the air.

 Using me as a base, Ryo-sama's attack was far more powerful than that of a female warrior, and he buried the monster with a single blow.

 The monster disappeared and dropped, and Ryo-sama disappeared as well.

''Ah ...... I see.''
What's this all about, Master Lyota?
It's a one-time consumption item.

 I try to recreate the situation while explaining it to Dale, who is alone and unable to swallow the situation.
 I repetition on all the remaining fish on the floor and take them down in batches.

 When I've killed about thirty of them, I get one bromide.
 I pick up the bromide, the name 'Lyota's Prestige', a consumption item, popped into my head.

 I used it.
 Ryou-sama with a very s*xy hand appeared and took out a nearby monster with a single blow, and the entire bromide was gone.

'Something like this,'
'Wow! If it's going out like this, it's because Ryota-sama has been recognized by the spirits.
That's the head of the Lyota family!

 Dale and the female warrior, they both look at me with respect.

 It's true that this is what happened after the spirits recognized me. ......

 I've been called "amazing" and "impressive" many times since I moved to another world.

 I've never had such an embarrassing "wow" before.

 The fact that ...... two people are serious about saying that added to the embarrassment.
