Calcium first floor.
I entered the dungeon using the Transportation Room, and immediately I was greeted with an Angel.
With wings growing behind its back and holding a sword and shield.
However, unlike before, it felt different.
“Repetition—–Guess it won’t work.” (Ryouta)
Knowing how obvious it was, I started my next motion.
I dive into the far side of the sword that is slashing at me, grabbed its face and slammed it into the wall, then fired a zero-distance headshot.
After the angel was defeated, a chunk of meat dropped.
Though it’s cows meat, the smell of milk drifted from the meat.
Seems like there’s still some improvement to be had.
“I really want it to be meat.” (Ryouta)
“Bunny didn’t lie.” (Eve)
Eve who arrived later protested.
“Sorry, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but I just want to confirm it with my own eyes.” (Ryouta)
“Even so, low level is being rude.” (Eve)
“Sorry about that.” (Ryouta)
I looked her in the eyes and genuinely apologised—-
“Bunny wants a days worth of carrots.” (Eve)
“Okay okay.” (Ryouta)
And I was being forgiven by carrots.
“Well then, it’s good that the drop has changed, but it’s still a problem.” (Ryouta)
“What is?” (Eve)
I glanced at Eve’s breast.
The bunny suit which exposes a lot of skin on her breast.
“Bunny’s boobs aren’t for show.” (Eve)
“You’ll probably ask for carrots if I want to see them right? Wait that’s not what I meant.” (Ryouta)
“?” (Eve)
Then what is it? Eve tilts her head, whilst pushing her breast up.
“If the breeding thing was successful, it means you have defeated the Minotaur right?” (Ryouta)
“A cow isn’t even close to an enemy of a bunny.” (Eve)
“It’s good that you defeated it, but the cow model didn’t appear, right? Which means we have to wait for another chance before we can do it again.” (Ryouta)
“We’ll just have to wait.” (Eve)
“Guess we have no choice.” (Ryouta)
“In the meantime, go fetch bunny some carrots.” (Eve)
“You really don’t hold back.” (Ryouta)
Chuckling, we went back to the mansion using the transfer gate.
Guess we’ll just naturally wait for the next Minotaur to appear.
But, I felt uneasy.
After returning to the mansion, I was feeling irritated.
After parting with Eve, I went to the salon and sat on the sofa.
Thinking of resting, but I was feeling even more restless.
I know what we need to do, and Eve tried to help, and at least the milk has successfully changed into meat.
But, I can’t wait.
It’s like waiting for a mobile game’s stamina to refill.
Just one more stage and we can clear the mission, but you have to wait for the stamina to refill.
Which just irritates me further.
I cannot wait any longer.
Standing up from the sofa, I went to the trading shop.
The signboard changed.
Previously it was “Swallow’s Repayment”, but now it reads “Gold Tree”.
Entering the shop, only Ena was there polishing Aurum’s golden statue.
“Yo.” (Ryouta)
“Arya? What brings you here Ryouta-san?” (Ena)
“Just something. Moreover, did you carry that statue all the way from Hasemi?” (Ryouta)
“Nope, that’s not it. After discussing with Elza, we asked Aurum to make one in our shop as well.” (Ena)
“I see, that’s good. If that’s the case, you can also change up her pose as well, right?” (Ryouta)
“I see, but it would be some troubles if the statue doesn’t look the same.” (Ena)
“You’re right, this can be made into a worshipping statue or a trademark for people to recognize your store.” (Ryouta)
“We can also make a stamp card and make them into a golden statue for each branch.” (Ena)
“It’s like collectables.” (Ryouta)
I started chatting with Ena.
Most of what we said were ideas or suggestions in the latter half of the conversation, and I don’t know whether it’s going to help their store or not, but it’s good to just give out suggestions every now and then.
After chatting for a bit, I remembered why I came here again.
“Oh yeah, there’s something I would like to procure.” (Ryouta)
“What would that be?” (Ena)
“A drop from Calcium’s Dungeon Master.” (Ryouta)
“Ah, that—-” (Ena)
Did she know from the beginning what I wanted?
“That’s kinda pricey, and not often is it sold.” (Ena)
“Is it that rare?” (Ryouta)
“There’s that, but the rich people are stocking them up. Especially those who aren’t adventurers.” (Ena)
“….Aah, like collecting stocks of lives.” (Ryouta)
She nodded.
“It’s great that money can be used to protect your life. But generally, even if you have the money, it’s hard to buy them whenever they’re up for auction.” (Ena)
“I see……” (Ryouta)
What should I do?
It’s difficult to buy even with money.
Guess I really have to just, wait patiently…?
“….No.” (Ryouta)
There is one possibility.
☆
Even I knew what needs to be done.
Inside the chairman’s office of Shikuro Dungeon, the one facing me is Cell.
I thought maybe he would have it and he would lend me if he has it.
I could just borrow it and return it to him after using it.
Was what I thought, so Cell arranged a total of 5 cow models on the table immediately after hearing the story.
“If that’s not enough, I can gather more.” (Cell)
“No, that’s plenty.” (Ryouta)
With a sweet victory melody playing in the background, I asked Cell again.
“When did you prepare them?” (Ryouta)
“I knew Satou-sama needed it.” (Cell)
“Aah….” (Ryouta)
Speaking of which, I totally forgot he’s a stalker.
It’s not weird that he hasn’t arranged it beforehand.
“Thank you, I’ll just borrow them.” (Ryouta)
“No, I’ll give it to Satou-sama.” (Cell)
“Give? But I heard that it’s extremely pricey.” (Ryouta)
“I know what Satou-sama is trying to do with them. If it succeeds, it creates more than just these 5 benefits.” (Cell)
“I see.” (Ryouta)
I don’t know whether it’ll profit, but the possibility certainly opens up.
“This is such a cheap investment if it’s for Satou-sama.” (Cell)
Once again, I was being praised.
It doesn’t feel bad, but now the pressure’s on.
“Okay, I’ll do my best.” (Ryouta)
Receiving the cow model, I quickly exited the building and hurried to the Calcium dungeon.
