Aah, such a drag, I donāt want to do anything. And I didnāt get enough rest. I want to sleep, but they woke me upā¦ Iām a tired high-school boy? But no one tries to understand my hardship.
Everyone applied with the guild for a dungeon for 3 days, so they have to be there. Iām level 11, so I canāt register as an adventurer, thus staying home. Well, since Iām a NEET, Hikikomori, and Loner, it is the correct decision.
My part here is done, canāt I go back already? I canāt shake off the feeling that staying here Iām only getting scolded every day. Even though I did nothing wrong? Very strange.
I have a relatively large sum of money. Upon counting it, it turns out itās more than 2,000,000 ere. Iām a rich man once again. Letās tease the poster pleb later. I have no allowance, but I earned the money through a side job. Slowly but steadily I accumulated this sum by working hard, and yet, if it were found out, it would be confiscated, hence, I must spend it before that happens.
But the suspicious merchant is not yet back in town, The same goes for my affection points and pheromone. Just where did it go? My affection? Just when is it going to grow? Low favorability surely must be the reason why Iām being scolded daily despite doing nothing. Canāt that peddler peddle faster?!
The general store also has no new wares and no rice. Just in case, I told her about the existence of the ultimate food form, namely rice with mushrooms. Now she will probably get desperate in her search. She is a mushroom addict after all.
The weapon store, or should it rather be called the club store? Seems to be doing quite well. This town is doomed.
I window-shop here and there, but there are no cool items. No suspicious shop that opens only at night as well.
So boring.
Maybe I should sneak into a dungeon?
It seems that only adventurers are allowed inside, but if I move stealthily it shouldnāt be a problem.
Doesnāt a dungeon sound like a lot of fun?
Apparently, one can even find real treasure chests there.
For some reason the Geeks were against it, saying thatćIf you go there youād probably fall into a chasm all the way to the lowest floor and go missing.ć
No, Iām not going to fly or jump inside a dungeon, so Iām not going to fall anywhere? The ceiling is too low for that, isnāt it?
There is nothing but gobs and kobolds outside anyway.
And Iām a bit traumatized from fighting the goblin emperor and the kobold king.
I donāt want to do that ever again.
Itās amazing that I managed to survive!
My head almost got bitten off!
Never again.
And I also donāt want to do anything with the Goblin King Gameā¦ Thatās probably the part that I hate the mostā¦ā¦ I mean, Iām the only one who isnāt a king thereā¦ā¦
How boring.
I already had a flat gaze from the president of receptionists at the guild, and all of the quests there remained the sameā¦ā¦
Which reminds me, until now, no one at the guild met eyes with me even once. Even when Iām standing right in front of them, looking into their eyes, they still wouldnāt make eye contact. Such a mystery. A mystery that is too much for me. Even if it isnāt a mystery, I still donāt get it. And the idiots are still sleeping, they didnāt recover even one bit.
Anyway, letās go outside.
There might be another carriage under attack, so I might get more money in rewards.
So peaceful. Not a single reward in sight.
Not a single carriage under attack.
Well, not like I need it at this point.
My part is over, so I donāt need new equipment.
No, if I find something good I will buy it anyway. Obviously.
Iām basically obligated to do so according to RPG canons.
But I donāt want to fight strong monsters.
Then, I guess my equipment is sufficient?
Iām going to instead ambush them anyway?
Itās kind ofā¦ Too peaceful.
Well, itās been a while, so such days are fine as well.
ćIs what Iām saying, canāt you read the mood?ć
As I walked towards the forest orcs jumped out of it for some reason. Not some orc-faced guys, but actual orcs. Well, I donāt care either way. I donāt get whatās the difference anyway.
ćDid they come here after hearing that some town was popular with monsters? Led by false information? In the first place, where did the orcs even get that info? Was it spread by Merimeri-san? Did she put posters in the forest? ć
Looks like gobs and kobolds also tagged along. Is this a shopping tour? Should I go along with the trend? I think they are going to attack me even if I go along with it? Participation denied!! All because Iām a Loner!!
I strike the gobs.
Strike the kobolds.
And occasionally also strike the orcs.
What is this? Whack a monster? A rhythm game? I hope it doesnāt turn into a King Game! And not because Iām afraid of losing!
And no kobold kings as well! Donāt you dare show up! Iāll set bitches after you! Even though Iām also afraid of themā¦ā¦ Honestly.

For how long do I have to keep up with this Whack a Monster? How many hours to clear it? Will I get a prize for this? If itās a Pheromone Ring then Iām gonna do it!! Absolutely! Come at me, Affection Points! Iāll turn every single one of you into affection!

Itās getting dark, and Iām getting hungry. Canāt I pause this or save my progress? Itās about time for me to go home. Well, by that logic I will have to go into the forest though.
Ah, how long do I have to keep doing this? Monster Masters? How many hours do I have to whack them to clear this? Will I get a prize? If itās rice then Iām gonna do it! Absolutely! Come at me, you rice balls! Iām going to squeeze every single one of you!

Itās pitch dark alreadyā¦ And Iām really hungry! Unable to bear it anymore I started munching on mushrooms midway! Even though the town is right there? Oh? Itās finally over? Ending? What about the prize?
ćEeh? Read the mood! Saving the most annoying part for the final is a bad game design! What did you come here for! Just go back if all of your allies got annihilated!ć
The last came Orc King. Level 34, HP is excessive 327. Itās weaker than the goblin emperor, but itās going to take a while, isnāt it? Iām sure of it.
ćItās late at night, Iām hungry, and yet I have to deal with the orc king now? Just why? It wonāt end anytime soon, right? Are they trying to starve me to death? Is that the strategy? Can I leave for a moment? Iāll eat dinner and be right back?ć
Apparently ā no. This is the worst. It canāt read the mood. Itās on the same level as the geeks. At this point, I wonāt be surprised if a Geek King were to appear next. In the first place, why do I have to beat them to death? Itās such a pain in the ass.

I beat it to death. I clubbed it. I did it. But no one is rushing to hand me the prize? Why? Was I tricked? I kept whacking them all this time, I didnāt even use magic in case it might be banned for this attraction. I didnāt even cut or stab them and earnestly kept striking them? And no prize? ā¦ā¦Enough, Iām done with this, Iām going home.
Collecting clubs and magic stones ofā¦ Who? The Geek King? Noā¦ Ah, the orc king and the orc leaders I go back. Iām too tired to gather anything else. Tired, hungry, and just fed up with this.
Receiving no prize, I dejectedly make my way back to the town.
A wasted effort.
If I were to gather everything it probably wouldāve totaled for a huge sum, but I wonāt be able to sell all of that anyway.
There are clubs everywhere I look. Why not rename it to the Club Town already?
