507 507. Generation gap




I'm home.

 After going to tellurian for the first time in a long time, I got up on time and returned to the mansion after a full day of going to tellurian for the first time in a long time.
 I left the transporter room at the end of the transporter room, putting my magic cart away securely in the magic cart storage area.

'Uncle ......'

 Sakura is waiting for me there.
 She's staring at me with a grim face.

'What's wrong, what's going on?'

 I flipped a switch in my head.
 Did something else happen?
 Where dungeons were born, spirits called for help, and adventurers were in trouble.

 That's the kind of thing we've seen and experienced before.
 For now, I'm in no hurry.

'That's great, Uncle!
"Huh?

 It wasn't like any situation I had expected.
 Sakura was all over the place, her eyes sparkling as she crowded in on me.

'What? What are you talking about amazing?
I just went to Elsa and her friends' place earlier and it's amazing, uncle, they make more than 1 million yen a day?
'What? Oh, is it that way? Technically, it's not a circle, it's a pillow--
You mean like that million yen? Just one, right? You could rent out Disney or something, right?
I mean, one is one, but doesn't it take a billion to rent out Disney?

 I don't know.
 I mean, maybe even a billion is not enough. I'm not sure 10 billion is as good as it sounds, so I'm guessing ...... double-digit billion?

It's amazing how much money you can make in one day. Hey, hey, do you wanna play daddy?
I won't! I don't think that's a good idea!
Haha, it's only a joke. I feel sorry for you, but you're already blushing. If you're the master of Cheerem, you have to be more prepared.
I'm not even cheerleading: ......

 Sakura's top-notch teasing made me thirsty.

 I walked out of the hallway with her, shoulder to shoulder.

'But it's really amazing. A million yen a day is - ah, Piro. A pillow is worth about the same as a yen, right?
'Yeah, ...... well, it's the first time since Sakura came in, or seriously made money in a dungeon.'
Yeah. My transition, my uncle was in the middle of doing the californium thing.
That's right, isn't it?

 It was a pretty normal misunderstanding.

 Sakura was fitting in so fast, she'd been around for so long, or she knew everything about the family.
 I was in that mood.

'There's quite a lot you don't know about ...... in Californium.
Such as?
Do you have a favorite bar where everyone goes to drink?
'That's so cool! Master, the usual! Are you going to do that?
It's the other way around. I like new things, so I'm going to be offered new products.
That's even cooler. What else?
There's a town named after me, right?
'Classic! Wow! Where is that? Let me see it.
'It's late today, so tomorrow. And ...... Oh, you mean like the one who gets taxes, not the one who pays them?
'Nice, Cheelem-ish!'

 The more we talked, the more excited Sakura became.
 It was refreshing to hear that something she had taken for granted before was actually (not so much actually) something she didn't know about yet, and I told her about it, one after another.

'Oh, and black parties and all that. They've been going less and less lately, though.
"Black party?
It's a party like a black company.
'A company man? Is there a company man or something?
I have a hard time reacting to your agitation in there.
Yeah, there's a lot of ...... stuff out there.

 I was about to go back to my room, but Sakura was with me, so I came to the salon instead of that one.

 I walked into the salon and sat in my spot.
 Sakura also sat on the couch around there.

'Ya ...... but it's awesome,'
Hmm?
Million yen.

 Sakura eventually returned to it.

'Cheerleading is great, but it's just that it's fun. There's no real feeling or anything. But a day's pay? A million yen is amazing. It's amazing, even to me.
I see.

 I thought for a minute.

"Well, here's another great one.
'Oh? What?
The chief executive. Oh, they came third last year.

 I'm this excited about earning over a million pounds a day," Sakura said.
 I said to her, "If she's ranked third on the list of top three, she should be even more excited.

'What? What's the longest?
Huh? You know, like a ranking of taxpayers, or people who make a lot of money.
'There is such a thing. 'And that's third place? That's awesome!

 Sakura was one tempo late and excited, but ...... I was aghast.

'You don't know the long list ......?'
Hmm? Maybe it's something that used to exist? How old is your uncle?
Gruffy, no comment.

 I ate the generation gap in a place I didn't expect, and it took a pretty big toll on me mentally.
