Chapter 37.1
Thanks For The Dungeon
Today, along with a message from Ruu, I also received a message from Nina-san.
[Coach, I heard that you and Ruu are going out now. Congratulations. I'm so envious of you, and by the way, are you going out with me too?] She wrote it in a normal style, but it seemed to have a Kansai style when I thought it was coming from Nina-san.
But, when she said, [I'm going out with you, too] I'm sure Ruu and Serai-san were watching her. And they're probably checking to see how I'll respond. And even if Nina-san is serious, that means she's going to use me as an ATM. Scary, scary.
Therefore, I [thank you very much. Today's business has ended], I replied politely.
And then, as I always do, I went on a magic stone-selling spree.
But if I went to sell magic stones every day and wrote my name on the form, the people at the store would naturally remember my face and name, and I began to be talked to by the store clerks who knew my face.
"How can I earn money like Ezuki-san?"
"I have to be careful and steady, so I don't get hurt."
At the next store, too.
"Oh, Ezuki-san, you're doing it again today? Can you give me some tips on how to become stronger?"
"Study the monsters carefully."
I respond to the clerk's exchange with the air of a first-rate adventurer. I feel a little better. In this conversation, she asks me to sell the other drops, but not many companies want to buy non-magic stone drops.
At any rate, the government is trying to see if they can use the Self-Defense Forces to exterminate the dungeon. Oh, this is hypothetical, but it is being done based on the opinion of fantasy writers that there is a center of the dungeon at the deepest level and that the dungeon can be destroyed by destroying it.
Many dropped items are also collected in this process, and they're sent to national research institutes and various companies to be studied.
"Then I have no choice but to sell magic stones as before." "Well, I don't know the details, but the supply of magic stones is insufficient."
"Okay, I'll be back."
"Thank you very much."
I then got on my bike and headed for the electronics district. What I wanted was a camera. Something small, lightweight, and that I could wear on my head. Until now, I had been using the camera function on my phone to take pictures of monsters, but I didn't know when my phone might get damaged in battle.
Now that I had a cute girlfriend named Ruu, I couldn't imagine a day when I couldn't get in touch with her.
Oh, no, she's good Ruu-chan. It's soothing.
Ruu was pretty bad when in desperation mode, but she's a very good girl. She's cute, honest, naive, and pure-hearted. She doesn't seem to lie.
She may know I keep many secrets from her, but she doesn't ask me about them. I think that's healthy and very cute.
After returning to my room, I order a few things on the Internet.
Now that I have a girlfriend, I may suddenly get asked out on a date. I buy fashionable clothes for such an unforeseen situation.
I'm planning to buy clothes for a long time because my body has become thicker.
So when I went to visit Ruu, I had to rush to go shopping the day before.
"Hmmm, I should have 4.5 outfits for now. I'm sure Ruu has her preferences, and it would be fun to have a shopping date where we pick out clothes for each other like that, for example…"
Yeah, yeah, my dreams are growing.
[Hmm~…I think these clothes would look good on Coach.]
[Oh, I see. Then I'll get Ruu this Haru〇 cosplay outfit.]
[Oh no! That's such an embarrassing outfit!]
[I think Ruu would look good in it. I want to see Ruu cosplaying as Haru〇.]
[…Ugh, how do you like it? I'm so embarrassed, Coach.]
I can't stand it! I can't stand it! I want Ruu wears such a beautiful costume, to pillow me with her knees and clean my ears.
