485 485. Natural




 The magic cart is now full of drops.
 I press the button to transfer it to Elsa and the others where the master lock is located.

 Today I went into the dungeon this morning and earned a full rotation.
 I don't know how much of this is ...... no, not yet anyway.

 I regained a firm grip on my gun and walked out to try to find the monster again--

There you are. Wow, you really are in Tellurium, Uncle.
Sakura.

 At the end of the road, Sakura emerged from the dungeon's bend in the road.
 She approached me in her usual friendly manner.

 Sakura, with her carefree smile, attracted the attention of the adventurers around her as soon as she appeared and walked up to me.

'She's cute.'
Does he belong to a family?
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Satou again?

 Ninety percent of the people around me spoke favorably of Sakura, and 10 percent looked at me with a sour look.
 Well, she's cute and cheerful and carefree, so I know she's popular--

What are you waiting for, old man?
'What? Oh no, it's nothing. What's more, what's going on? It sounds like you were looking for me.
Yeah, I talked to Elsa and she said I was here.
I see.

 Of all the family members, Elsa and Ena know where I am the most.
 Because when I'm earning money in a dungeon, I'm sending the drop items sequentially through the magic cart.

 In other words, by looking at the drop items, I can clearly see which level of the dungeon I was on just before.

''Uncle, that's great, you've already earned a million dollars. As I recall, Piro and Yen are one-to-one, right? Then it's another million dollars.
Well, that's still the case.
Not yet. It's not even noon yet, so that's great.
'But to buy a fissure stone. I still have to earn some money. Oh, don't worry, I'll make sure Sakura gets it.

 Quicksilver's buff goes up when the side being applied is wearing a ring.
 In terms of efficiency, it's much worse than I first imagined.
 In any case, I thought I should just wear it, but now everyone else has to wear it.

 But still.
 I'm going to do my best to get one for each of you, just like I did with the absolute rock stone.

Do you always do that, Uncle ......?
Always?
I mean, do you do this kind of thing all the time?
Yeah.

 I nodded deeply.
 Because there is a mountain of precedent, including the stone of Absolute Rock.

'Nah, I knew it was a cheerleader.
"Huh?
"Everyone was so nervous and fidgety. "My uncle is getting me a ring.
Why?
'It's been a night, so it's time to get your head out of your ass. There's a ring for the girl.
............ yeah!
I'm dumb, I really didn't notice that, Uncle.
'No, no, no, no, that's not what you mean by the ring, is it? It's an equipment item, and it's a divine effect.
But it's a ring for a girl.
...... ugh.

 Sakura clearly separated those two words and thrust them at me with emphasis.
 When I was reminded, I started to feel like I was doing something extremely hard.

'What do you want to do, quit? People are aware of it, and now--
No, I'll get it for you as it is.

 What Sakura said to me was definitely unexpected and cringe-worthy, but that doesn't change what I'm going to do.

'We're all important friends. And this is an item of quite high importance. The scope of increase in strength with this is great, which means we can ensure more safety.

 I nod to myself as I say it and say that's right.
 All of my abilities will be increased two levels.
 Not to mention the defensive side, if you can take out the offensive side first, you'll be safer as a result.
 If you didn't know, or even if you didn't know, you no longer have the option of not aligning them after you know.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. I'll follow up on that later, as Sakura told me. I'll follow up on that later, whatever you need.
"...... I see. I get it. I'm sorry I said that.
No, thank you too. It was nice of you to remind me.
No, no, no.

 Sakura waved her hand and walked away.

     ☆

That's the kind of character my uncle was: ......

 Sakura walks away from Ryota and stalks back through the tellurian.
 I haven't been in the Family - it hasn't been long since I've transitioned, so I don't fully understand Ryota.

 I understood him a little bit more deeply now with the interaction we just had.

 That many people - the adventurers, the merchants, the spirits.
 I think I'm beginning to understand why they're all gathered to him.

''It's not just a cheat, that's amazing. ......

 Admiringly, she ducked under the transporter gate that she flew through and returned to the mansion.

'Huh? You're early today, Sakura-san.

 As I left the transporter room, I ran into Yuki.

 He's not an adventurer, a merchant, or a spirit.
 Yuki has nothing to do during the day and is in the mansion.

 That Yuki stared at Sakura's face for a while, and then.

'What's wrong? Your face is red.
Whew!

 Sakura touched her face in a hurry.
 Her face was hot, and not only that, it was also hot to the base of her ears.

''Nah, it's nothing--you know, if I faked it, it would be more like it!

 What she had faked on the spur of the moment, and what it meant.
 Sakura became more flustered.
