The next day, Ryoutaās village.
Having the contractor that Antonio arranged, we started with the planning of the new house.
It was about making multiple sections for the house, which has various types of dungeons for the interior of the house.
One would mimic an underground cave, one would be a limestone cave, a cave thatās dugged in the soil, and a ninja house.
Since thereās various monsters in the village, these measurements are necessary.
Thinking that itās better to have all sorts of pattern for everyone to rest well, I thought of such plans when building the dorm.
After collecting the Speed Up Bullet, I looked at the contractors starting their job, and Clayman who saw me, talked to me.
[Ah, Clayman. There will be some constructions over here, so please endure for the time being.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Donāt sweat it! This is to help all of us, so we shall endure it. And itās more like everyone is looking forward to the completion.] (Clayman)
[ā¦.Seems like it.]Ā (Ryouta)
The monsters were already gathering around the structure that has started to be made in several places.
A bird like monster was flapping its wings, and a gorilla like monster was beating its chest like a drum.
Some Slimes were making a weird half melted happy expression, similar to those Bubble Slimes that I see in games.
But what I know for a fact is that they were all looking at the construction happily.
[But is this really okay?] (Clayman)
[Weāre just monsters from the eyes of human. So, doesnāt this project cost quite a few sum?] (Clayman)
[Not as much as youād expect.]Ā (Ryouta)
[To do all of this for us, I donāt know how we can thankā-] (Clayman)
I flicked his forehead, which stopped him from talking.
[Donāt mind it okay. Iām doing this for my own benefit.]Ā (Ryouta)
I donāt know why, but Clayman was showing joy in his face.
Canāt help it if I donāt know why.
But it is the truth that itās for my own benefit.
As they are monsters that have left the dungeon either on purpose or by accident, they are branded with the name [Rogue Monster], so I canāt overlook nor abandon them.
With how they are mistreated, it really reminds me of how I was back in the Black company, so it made me want to help them.
Hence why when I look at the happy faces that the rogue monsters are having, it makes me happy as well.
Around mid-afternoon, after meeting with Antonio and discussing with him about other things for the dorm, I was walking around the city when I saw Cell.
There are various ways that people call me, but the only one who calls me [Satou-sama] is only Cell.
Not that Iām being disrespectful, but I can feel the genuineness from Cell calling my name.
The passersby accidentally knocked onto Cell, which made a figure drop out from his sleeve.
He then picked up the figure with a straight face.
But he couldnāt fool me, I caught a glimpse of that figure.
It was a figure of me who was doing a flicking pose.
[Youāre working too quickly! That flick was only a few hours ago isnāt it!]Ā (Ryouta)
[I have no idea what are you talking about.] (Cell)
Cell said in a robotic voice, feigning ignorance.
Everytime I do something, how did he always get a figure of me (Is he using surveillance? I still donāt know how he does this).
Instead of respect, it is at a level of [worship]ā¦..in the matter of figures.
Looking at Cell who is whistling badly, I lightly sighed.
On the other hand, Cell continued as if nothing happened.
[I have heard of the news. Satou-samaās clan is becoming more and more prosperous. This is a happy thing.] (Cell)
[Clan? Isnāt it family?]Ā (Ryouta)
I was so used to hearing people saying Ryouta Family, but this is the first time hearing clan.
[Yes, a clan. Because the Ryouta family is essential, as you are directly affiliated with the Margaret family and the Cliff family. And the Golden town of Indole, also the 100 monsters of the Ryouta village.] (Cell)
I heard a few list from Cell.
I understand the Golden town of Indole, but calling a village a 100 monsters is a first.
[All these are directly under Satou-sama, hence why itās a clan. I can safely say that you can be comparable with the Neptune Family.] (Cell)
[Iāll be surprised if Iām as amazing as him.]Ā (Ryouta)
Having Cell saying the five list like an [organization], and to be on equal grounds with Neptuneās family.
[Donāt worry, the other side has reached his peak, but Satou will probably grow even more from now on.] (Cell)
[Itās not like I want to be on war with them.]Ā (Ryouta)
As I said, it doesnāt matter how big the organization is.
There are [restraints] these days, even if itās big but there is a limit.
Instead of a clan, isnāt it better to call us a group.
While thinking as such, Cell continued to talk.
Suddenly, someone from beside shouted.
Wondering what happened, we turned and look. And there, a young guy with a mohawk hair who I donāt recognized was staring intently at me.
[Do you need anything?]Ā (Ryouta)
[Yeah! Yer Ryouta Satou right?]
[Thatās rightā¦.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Alright, fight with me now!]
My mind was delayed due to the sudden request.
[To fightā¦.but why?]Ā (Ryouta)
[Aināt it obvious. If yer a man, ya use your fist!]
[So basically you want to have a duel with me.]Ā (Ryouta)
[Thatās right. Iām going beat you up and make a name for myself.]
Aah, so thatās how it is.
Basically someone who wants to trash dojos. But this isnāt my house though.
[Iām sorry, but I have some businessā-]Ā (Ryouta)
[You tryinā to run away? You cowardly bastard!]
Suddenly, the air around us felt extremely rough, and I could hear something heavy.
When I turned behind, I could see an extremely scary faceā-it was Cell smiling.
Itās the scariest smile Iāve ever seen, itās like his anger meter has peaked to the point where his smile doesnāt look like a smile anymore.
This is bad, if Cell moves right now, that guy will be minced to death or something much worse.
[Stop trying to disguiseāā]
I turned around and instantly went behind the guy who was trying to speak, and tap his shoulder.
[Wh, whatās happening?]
The guy hurriedly took his distance.
But, I moved and went behind him and tap his shoulder again.
We kept doing that over and over again.
You guessed it, itās my SS Speed.
Even without the Speed Up Bullet, it was easy to catch up to him.
I kept on going behind him as if to tease him.
The guy suddenly broke down and cried.
Then after that, he ran away while screaming.
I wonāt chase him anymore if heās running away, I donāt want any unnecessary commotion happening again.
The people around me started cheering and clapping.
Because we were in the streets, a crowd suddenly formed around me and cheered.
[As expected of Satou-sama. Itās like treating a child with overwhelming power.] (Cell)
[Itās bad if we really did fight in the middle of the streets.]Ā (Ryouta)
I remembered something, then slowly approached Cell and hit his shoulder normally from the front.
Then, a figure fell on the ground from his sleeves.
It was a figure of me posing a strike to the shoulder of that previous guyāāitās already around 30% done.
[As I said, how the hell are you even making these! Itās too bloody fast!]Ā (Ryouta)
[Everything is done by my subordinates, I have no idea how.] (Cell)
Cell lead the conversation away like a politician.
