468. Thank you for leveling




You are welcome home.
Is everyone in their rooms yet?

 I looked around the saloon when I came back.
 It seems that they had disbanded, and Emily alone was in the middle of cleaning up inside the salon.

'Yes, sir. Yoda-san said, 'I don't think he's coming back tonight,' and everyone went back to their rooms.
Okay.

 Me nodding, I sit on the couch and watch Emily clean up.

 I don't help, I don't help.
 I did in the beginning.
 When my friends first started living with me, they helped because they didn't want to have to leave everything to Emily, maybe because it was too painful.

 But they all stopped soon after.

 Emily House.

 It's still the same as it was when it became a vanadium dungeon from the previous mansion, bright, warm, and comfortable enough to stay in forever.

 It's only because of Emily's upkeep.
 I don't know why, but it doesn't get warmed up like this when Emily tells me what to do and my friends clean up and tidy up.

 It's only when Emily's hands are doing it, Emily's house.

 Besides, Emily herself.

'It's a blessing to be able to work on the house,'

 I said with a hearty smile, and gradually, no one else was getting involved in the housework.

 I'm the same way, and now I'm watching Emily crisply clean up after herself.

'...... Speaking of which,'
Yes?
Do you remember the moment Sakura dropped (、、、、)?
'I'm sorry. I don't remember it very well.
Okay.

 I nodded and replied to Emily, who looked apologetic.

 And I didn't go into it any further.

 It wasn't a girl thing, it was a dungeon thing, so I had a theory right away.

 Maybe the encounter with G had turned Emily into a demon king, and her status had changed, or some kind of skill had been triggered.

 Even when I was there, it was on the third floor of the Telluride, a place where there was likely to be a cocrosstime (G) from a pumpkin.

 I was able to hypothesize that me and Sakura's transition might have been brought about by Emily, who had been transformed into a demon king.

 However, I didn't want to test it.
 This might be the first time I've transitioned to this world, perhaps for the first time.

 I didn't want to test the hypothesis of what happened in the dungeon.
 I'm not going to let Emily become a demon king to investigate, I don't think there's a need to do so.

'Yoda, do you need more tea?
Oh, well, I'll take it from here-- that's great!

 Shortly after I answered, I was reminded once again of Emily's awesomeness.
 It only took a split second for my brain to think about the hypothetical and that it shouldn't be tested.

 In that split second, the salon had been cleaned up, and it was like a temple as usual, radiating warm, clean vibrations.

'Yes?'

 The person who pulled it off didn't understand his feat - the amazing housekeeping technique that could be called the hand of God.

     ☆

 The next morning, I woke up and left my room, and on my way to the bathroom, I ran into Sakura.

Oh, I'm home!

 Sakura was heading towards us with Eve in tow, and she was incredibly excited, even though it was morning.

'Good morning ......, are you home?'
Hey, I'm back.
Where have you been?
A dungeon called Telluride. It's amazing how many slime dungeons there are with only slimes of all kinds. It's a little frustrating that there's no female warrior in the trap, though.
What did you expect?

 I pouted out loud. That tug woke me up with a batch of sleepiness.

'For that matter, why are you in tellurian?'
Because it's a different world. There's a dungeon and you can do magic, you're supposed to want to go there.
I showed you the rabbit. All night long.
'All night? You've been there since the middle of the night?
I was so excited I couldn't sleep. "I was so excited, I couldn't sleep, so I went down to the fourth floor, just for one level.
Ha ha ...... You know what I mean.

 It's that kind of exciting feeling, isn't it?
 With the stamina-based games, once the stamina is restored even in the middle of the night, I can forget about going to sleep and start playing.
 Especially when a new element is implemented.

 Back in the days of PC-based netgee games, there were games that restored all of my stamina at 6am, and I remember pulling an all-nighter and starting to play as soon as it was six o'clock in the morning, even though I knew it was definitely better to sleep and wake up.

I even got a potion from Bunny. It's amazing, the vegetables really do drop like a field.
That's the way the world seems to work. That's why being an adventurer is such a solid profession.
I guess so. I made a lot of money in one night.
'What? Have you redeemed the money yet?
The rabbit led me to a buyer who's open past midnight.
Those places have low rates.

 It's like a convenience store.
 It's convenient to be open 24 hours a day, but the goods are more expensive.
 Even those stores that are open late at night have low buying rates.

Since it's time to go, don't you want to experience a quick cash exchange?
Ha-ha, I see.

 Excitement won out.
 You want to experience it right away, and a little rate disadvantage doesn't matter in front of that desire.

"Hey, how much is 30,000 piro worth?
What?
What?

 I was surprised, and Sakura was surprised.

'What? The what? I mean,
'You made 30,000? Overnight?
Yes.
...... is amazing. It took me three days to make 20,000 when I first started out.

 It brought back memories of the time she had gone to Tellurium to rent that apartment in an attempt to repay Emily for her kindness.

 Sakura had surpassed that amount in one night.

'What are you talking about?'
What?
'It's no wonder you earn more money than your uncle did in the beginning. You've got me power leveled.
...... I see.

 I nodded and agreed.
 Indeed, it did.

 After transferring, I made her go over level 100 with the experience she had hoarded so far, and I also made her eat a magic fruit that would give her seven-digit pillows in plenty of time.
 Sakura's start is completely different from mine.

'But, I see. My uncle had 20,000 in the first three days?
Yeah, yeah.
Hmmm: ...... Oh, yeah.
Hmm?

 Sakura seemed to have an idea for something. She tilted her head slightly to see what was going on, and right after she smiled a mischievous smile, her face loomed up at her.

 Chu-chu.

 On the cheek, she suddenly kissed me.

''Nah, nah nah nah!''
Thank you. Thanks, Uncle.
No, no, no, there's more to thank me for. Why would you kiss--
'Hmm, because it's Cheerum? Here.
No, no, no, no!

 I was afraid that the thing was going to become a fact of life.

 And I was also scared that the kissed cheeks got hot and I didn't mind being kissed.
