The number of people in Tennesin has increased even more.

　Eric's publicity had gone well, and because it was a high quality food dungeon that he strongly recommended as a gourmet, even before the village in the dungeon was built, chefs who wanted to open a restaurant were coming one by one to preview the opening.

　And that's not all.
　When you open a restaurant, you'll need liquor, condiments, dishes, and all sorts of other things. And all sorts of other things as well.
　There were also more people to build up the logistics of things that Tennesin couldn't cover, and more people in the non-production service industry.

'It's going to be very popular very quickly,'
Hmm.

　Cell and I nodded to each other while looking at the ground floor site where construction was underway.

''Since Satou-sama moved in, the number of people coming and going has doubled.
Double. That must put Tennysin in a good mood.
You in a good mood?
Yeah. Yeah. His mouth is getting worse, though. I went over there a while ago, and he said, 'I'm in the way, I can't even take a nap,'
"Law.
And then he gave me this on his way out.
"Ho, shark fin.

　Cell glanced at the shark fin I took out.
　After a quick glance as if he were a connoisseur.

'It's a fine one. Quite a bit of value.'
Of course. By the way, he said, 'Take this dried up stuff out of the way, take it away.'
'Some spirits are too old to be honest with you.
I think it's a personal quality.

　I usually wonder who benefits from a man's twaddle, but as far as Tennysin is concerned, I'm the one who benefits so much.

　The super high quality ingredients we've been given recently have made our table look incredible.
　Alice is having a blast and her partner, Aulum, is trying to counteract it and put gold leaf in every dish, well, I digress.

　I put away the shark's fin I brought up for the story and look at the construction site again.

'I guess it's all right if we get this far,'
'Mm, thanks to Satou-sama, we're back on track. The snowball won't stop once it starts rolling.
Yeah.

　I could already see Tennesin growing and thriving.
　I was relieved to hear that.

　　　　　☆

　The sunset was setting and the construction of this day was over.
　I met up with Nihonium outside the dungeon.

'Good job. You saved me today too.''
No, sir. I was just in here.
Can you stay with me for a moment until Aulum and Meeke get here?
What is this?

　I gingerly pointed to the other side of the dungeon and started to walk away.

　After all the carpenters had left the dungeon, Nifonium, who had broken Tennesin's monster blockade, shuffled along.

　He stopped away from the dungeon, in an unpopular area, and placed a fine food item, foie gras, on the ground.

'What's that?'
"The one I pimped out to Eric. I couldn't get to the slime in time, but Eric was getting off on me, so I had to improvise on an emergency basis.
Oh, I see.
It was worth it, because Eric did his best to promote it.

　As I did so, I took Nihonium with me and distanced myself from the foie gras.
　Since I couldn't return and stay with Nihonium anyway until Aulum and Meeke's pick up and drop off, I decided to haggle and deactivate the Stars here, in order to avoid any mishaps (,) in the basement of the mansion.

　I'll keep my distance and wait for a while - but.

　From behind the foie gras, a group of men with weapons appeared in a row.

　Not friendly by any stretch of the imagination, or even full of malice.

'Nihonium.

　Quickly, he hid her behind his back.
　In the meantime, the opponents all showed themselves.
　With the skills she had developed in the dungeon, she could determine the number of enemies in front of her in an instant.
　It's a group of twenty people in total.

''Who are they?''
I was hired.

　The man standing in the middle, who looked like a leader, smirked.

'Hired?'
You know how much it hurts, right?
"...... you're allowed to mess with me?
"Unreasonable behavior," you say?　Ha.

　The man snickered, and everyone else laughed out loud in unison.
　It was as if they heard something very, very funny.

I've never carried a genie in my life," he said. I've never carried a genie in my life.
...... I see.

　If you think about it, it's no wonder.
　These days, people think that if I stop you from doing something unreasonable, you're out of luck, but there are people who don't give a d*mn.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to put you out of your misery.
Will I be hurt?
"Haha.

　The man looked even more amused.

'My client has suffered so much that he wants your head.
Yeah. Hurt me and then kill me.
That's what I mean. Well, you think it was just bad luck.
......

　I clenched my fists and braced myself.

'Don't do it, don't do it, you're an adventurer, aren't you?'
?

　What's the point of being an adventurer?

"Dungeon adventurers are too used to be able to beat the same enemies over and over again. They're no match for us.
You specialize in people.

　I let go of my stance and just stood there like a natural.

"What?

　Nifornium, who was covering up behind me, yelled in surprise.

'Why, why?'
It's a--

Hey, kill them!　Women are a bonus.

　At the man's command, the twenty assailants attacked at once.
　I could tell by the signs that Nihonium had flinched and gulped.

　But thirty seconds later.

'Ugh. ......'
Ouch. ...... Ouch. ......
Baka, stupid, it's not even working. ......

　I used accelerated bullets, and I literally killed twenty assailants in the blink of an eye.

　Accelerated Bullets + Speed SS.
　Using the principle of looking like an afterimage, or alter ego.

　I didn't move (、、、、、) and fought off the marauders.
