TLN Note: Shiba Inu adorbs
Lanthanum Dungeon, 20th floor.
I used the Teleportation Room in my mansion and directly went from Shikuro, and there were guards which exuded a gritty air the moment I arrived.
The guards were guarding the stairs leading to the upper and lower floors.
Because I wasnât doing anything suspicious, I was puzzled with the situation happening now.
So, without trying to hide or anything, I approached the guards.
[AahââIâm terribly sorry for my behaviour!]
The young guard who saw my face immediately apologized.
[I apologize for suddenly shouting at you as I did not know that it was Satou-san.]
[No worriesââbut wait, do you know me?]Â (Ryouta)
[Yes! Arenât you Bodoreă»Ryoutaâs Satou-sama? Everyone who guards this floor knows of you!]
[I see. But why would you need to guard this dungeon?]Â (Ryouta)
[Itâs to manage the production of Bodoreă»Ryouta. As there are people who do not have a license to buy it, so some might pass through the black market, and thus we have to manage all the way from the production line. This has been decided by the Flint Association.]
[Ah, I see now.]Â (Ryouta)
So theyâre doing a full scale production control.
If it were to be slightly later, Flint might need a season of [Ban Bodore!]ââbut then again it might get popular in Shikuro.
Must be a tough brand to maintain.
[Canât be help, guess Iâll head to the city and ask Mao for a license.]Â (Ryouta)
[Ahh please wait, we have direct orders from the association chairman.]
[ {Ryouta-sama can come and go whenever he wants nano}, was what she said.]
[Is that alright?]Â (Ryouta)
[Itâs not that, but we were also told that {Ryouta-sama is a-okay in drinking and selling it at a high price without a license.}âŠ.was what the chairman said.]
Whatâs done is done I guess.
[I got it, Iâll take your word for it.]Â (Ryouta)
After saying goodbye to the guards, I defeated some monsters and got me some wines before heading back to the mansion.
The terrace of the mansion, I was outside getting some night wind.
While sipping on the wine, my ears were feeling hot, and my body burning.
[What are you doing Ryouta.]
From inside, Alice came out and stood beside me.
[I think Iâm slightly tipsy. Guess i drank too much.]Â (Ryouta)
[Well, itâs a delicious wine after all.]Â (Ryouta)
[Yeah, it is good!]Â (Alice)
While smiling, Alice placed the wine glass on her lips.
This is just a guess, but I feel that the meaning [delicious] is different from what both of us are thinking.
[This Bodore is truly delicious. As expected of Ryouta, amazing.]Â (Alice)
[Yes! See, everyone else is happily drinking it~]Â (Alice)
She was referring to her friendly monsters on her shoulder.
The SD size monsters were drinking from Aliceâs glass.
[So they could drink as well huh.]Â (Ryouta)
[Though seldom, they look like theyâre enjoying it. And itâs obviously because of Ryouta.]Â (Alice)
A wine that even Flint has to manage the production, and being produced from my S Drop.
[Even monsters are captivated by it.]Â (Ryouta)
[Even Cer-chan kept saying âitâs delicious~â while drinking it.]Â (Alice)
[Cerberus huh, well he normally eats and drinks as well.]Â (Ryouta)
To me Aliceâs friends are kinda a different existence from Cerberus.
[Hey hey~ can you bring me when you want to do some breeding. I want to see how you do it.]Â (Alice)
[HmmâŠ.then youâll have to be attached with a spirit before you can follow me.] (Ryouta)
[Thatâs right! I have to meet with a spirit first! Alright, Iâll do my best!]Â (Alice)
[Yeah, good luck~]Â (Ryouta)
Sheâs our pride and joy summoner in our home, so sheâll surely conquer some dungeon and become attached with a spirit.
Somehow, thatâs a premonition Iâm having.
The next morning, I opened my eyes from the morning sun.
Being awaken by the best of the best bed being made from an effect of Emilyâs cleaning skills, I felt fully recovered and wide awake.
Another day to do my bestâ-was what I thought.
Something hairy was rubbing my face.
This is a familiar feeling, itâs a dogâs tail.
[Is that Cerberus inside theâŠ.futon?] (Ryouta)
[Morning Master.]Â (Cerberus)
[Whatâs wrong Master?]Â (Cerberus)
After fully waking up, Iâm looking at Cerberus(?).
[Are youâŠ.Cerberus?] (Ryouta)
[Yes, of course I am. It was Master who gave me this name.]Â (Cerberus)
While being confused, Cerberus(?) tilted his head.
I held his face, and went towards the window.
Using the reflection of the window, it was a shiba inu like Cerberus(?).
[Itâs a unique monster.]
Inside the Dungeon Association chairmanâs room, Cell spoke.
Both Cerberus and I said in unison, and tilted our heads.
[Whatâs that? UniqueâŠ.so basically a rare species?] (Ryouta)
[Itâs a sudden mutation. Itâs a chance for a rogue monster to evolve into the appearance of that race.] (Cell)
[So like a rare monster?]Â (Ryouta)
[Not exactly. A rare monster stays at the same floor, but theyâre a different monster. A Slime mutating into a Slime Bros is a different thing.] (Cell)
[So Cerberus is basically still the same raceâŠ..Huh?] (Ryouta)
I crossed my arms and tilted my head again.
I thought of what sort of expression fits the most.
[So itâs like the worldâs only rare Cerberus, something like that?]Â (Ryouta)
[Exactly. HoweverâŠâŠno itâs nothing.] (Cell)
Cell looked at Cerberus who turned into a huge shiba inu.
[But I canât believe itâs a unique monster, as expected of Satou-sama.] (Cell)
[Hm? But what does it have to do with me?]Â (Ryouta)
[A unique monster is 99% transformed by rogue monsters. Thatâs because they take the humanâs magic, wave length, healthâ-basically if they arenât bathed by this special energy emitted from the humans, they wonât be able to evolve. The reason why 99% of them are from rogue monster, is because they would consume their ownerâs energy to evolve.] (Cell)
[AahâŠ..if itâs a dungeon monster, itâll immediately be defeated.] (Ryouta)
[Then again, itâs not a definite that they will evolve just from being with their owner. Out of 100 of them, only 1 might evolve. Plus, it might take around a decade to have it happen. How long has Satou-sama rear Cerberusââ] (Cell)
[Not even a year.]Â (Ryouta)
[So thatâs why youâre amazing Satou-sama.] (Cell)
[But then again, why the sudden change?]Â (Ryouta)
[Did he ingested a huge amount of energy from Satou-sama?] (Cell)
[âŠ..Aah, the wine. Yesterday, he drank quite a sum of Bodore.] (Ryouta)
[And thatâs why.] (cell)
I looked at our wagon like shiba inu Cerberus.
A unique monster, a Shiba Inu like Cerberus.
Our beloved dog has evolved.
