CH 29

Episode 029 Policeman-san, It's This Person!!

"This is ... like near the entrance."

A sign of the outside is caught in my detection.

If I keep going straight, I should reach the gate.

I just walked to the exit. However, the gate at the exit was miserably broken, so I weave between the rubble and go outside.

"Huh? What happened that you guys have such scary faces?"

A group with rugged expressions stood outside the dungeon. Everyone was looking at me so I'll ask.

Did I do something?

I have no idea.

"You! Wasn't there anything in the dungeon that was rebirthed?"

The man who was leading them at the beginning approached me, put his hands on my shoulders, shook my body, and looked at me in a dreadful manner, as if I were his enemy or something.

I'm so scared of this person!!

Who the hell are you?

Dungeon rebirth?

What is that?

I never saw anything like that when I looked into this dungeon.

"Du, dungeon reverse? I don't know what that is, but I fell into a pitfall, but nothing else in particular happened?"

I just fell into a pit and defeated some slightly different looking Kobolins, tamed a slightly large black wolf and came back. I don't think there is anything special to mention.

So I answered properly while being pressured by the man's attitude.

"Oh yeah. I'm glad you were safe. I can't stand the thought of a young explorer like you dying?"

"Hahahaha. I'm lucky so I'm okay!!"

After all, I only encountered weak monsters in there that I can burst in a single blow. I can't die to such weak foes.

Of course, that doesn't mean I'm looking down on the dungeon. That pride may kill me.

"That's not true? Dungeon rebirth is very dangerous. Has anything changed inside?"

"No, there was nothing in particular."

"Really?"

After thinking a little about what was asked, I answered properly, but I was asked again.

Isn't this person a little persistent?

I don't know who this person is, but he may be a really dangerous person.

Policeman-san!! It's this person!!

"Is it okay? Can I go home now?"

I was suspicious and decided to end the talk and go home early.

"Oh, oh. I'm sorry to hold you back. Be careful and go home."

"Yes, thank you."

When the leader-like man hurriedly left, I quickly left the place.

"Who were those people?"

I think back while running on the way home.

Everyone wore the same uniform.

But it's different from the Union staff's uniform, and it might be an explorer party somewhere. He seemed to have an extraordinary interest in dungeon rebirth. I'm not sure, but it seems better not to get involved.

Besides, I couldn't cash the magic stones. I think that a lot of magic stones would be a good amount of money. But if I cash in that amount of magic stones, I might be spotted by strange people.

I wonder if I should try to cash them in little by little.

But, I want to buy something for my sister and mother.

It's okay if it's just a little bit, just a little bit, right?

I intended to sell only one, but decided to increase it a little more and cash it in.

There are quite a few purchase offices everywhere.

There must have been one near the school, so let's sell them there.

I stopped by the purchase shop before returning.

There was no particular request to show my explorer card, and as long as the stones for purchase were taken out, they could be exchanged for cash.

"300,000 yen ..."

I was shocked to see the money I got today.

The bonus magic stones given to those who overcame that trial of defeating 2P color monsters that differed in appearance was bought at the price of a B-rank magic stone.

The magic stones of the E-rank monsters that I defeated were smaller than the bonus magic stones that the black monsters dropped, so I threw them in the dungeon.

Oh, it's a shame, I could have returned and recovered them if I knew earlier that Luck could store my luggage in the shadows.

What should I buy for my mother and sister for 300,000 yen?

Thinking about a present, I returned to my room.

"Come out, Luck."

When I returned to my room, I took Luck out of the shadow.

"Won."

Luck came out barked happily.

"Well, the rules here are don't bark, don't go wild, don't come out of the shadows unless I say it's okay. Do you understand?"

"..."

I instructed him by raising my index finger to his mouth to be quiet, and when I told him the rules for living here, Luck shook his head in agreement.(TN:Hmm, I may have messed up previously when he shook his head at everything, Japanese is weird in phrasing sometimes.)

"By the way, do you eat? You can make a small reply. If it's affirmative, do it once, if it's negative, do it twice."

"Won."

"I see. Then do you poop?"

"Won Won."

"Is it okay not to poop!! That's comforting."

After hearing about Luck's way of life and what was needed, I slept in bed with Luck. It didn't smell like a beast, and the mofumofu was wonderful.

The back alley outside the purchase shop where Fuhito stopped by.

"Hey! Did you find him!?"

"No, nowhere!"

After Fuhito returned, boorish people gathered and started idle gossip.

"Where did he disappear to?"

"Damnit. He was a rare source of revenue."

They gathered to steal money from the seemingly weak Fuhito who made a lot of money at the purchase shop.

"Tsk. Can't be helped. Let's change our state of mind and look for the next easy mark!!"

""Got it.""

However, there was no Fuhito on the scene anymore, and they couldn't find him. They disappeared into the city looking for their next prey.

They will be grateful at a later date for not being found today.
