“Hey Shouta, the meeting’s starting soon.”
“Ah, I see. Is it time?”
“Will you be joining it too?”
“No… I think I’d just get in the way.”
“Master, the bath is ready.”
“Got it. Tell me how it went later.”
“Yes.”
“Take your time~.”
After watching him leave, the two girls input their Ids and passwords on the computers, and joined the meeting. It was ten minutes before the scheduled time, but everyone was there.
“I’m sorry, are we late?”
‘Don’t worry. Everyone was impatient, that’s all.’
‘Hahaha, that’s embarrassing.’
‘He has been starting something again.’
‘What will we be shown this time?’
This meeting was held in a hurry because of the matter with the requests, but once it actually opened, the videos scheduled to be made public in the 525 and 810 branches took precedence.
The content being what it was meant that no one other than the people who called the meeting and the head of the dungeon association knew what it was, but everyone else guessed it because of who called the meeting.
The branch manager of the high rank dungeon 128, Ryuu, spoke with an expression that conveyed he knew everything.
‘Yes, I hear that boy has been very active in those two dungeons. Has he been doing well?’
“Yes uncle. Very well.”
“Ah, He might be a little bit tired today.”
“Ah, yes…”
‘Did something happen?’
‘Considering who we are talking about, I imagine he’s paying the price for running around dungeons without rest…’
Said Youko, the branch manager of the Heart Dungeon.
The sisters thought she was spot on.
‘That guy… Neglecting these beautiful sisters like that.’
‘Now now, it’s fine, isn’t it? People who dive into dungeons because they truly like it and not because they have to are precious.’
‘Well then, I know we could talk about him all day, but let’s get into the main point. Can we begin, you two?’
““Yes!””
The head of the dungeon association prompted the meeting to proceed, and the girls started talking about the videos.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
“And so, we managed to film the rare monsters of the second floor of the Heart Dungeon and the first and second floors of the beginner dungeon.”
‘Ooh…!’
“Firstly, the rare monsters we talked about last time. All the rare monsters we have been calling ‘rare II’ in the beginner dungeon have been filmed and defeated.”
“Also, all of their stats and drop items have been cataloged.”
‘Wonderful!’
‘In such a short amount of time… Incredible’
‘That’s the boy I accepted.’
‘Fufu, amazing.’
‘Eh…? It’s only been two days since he left our dungeon…?’
The branch managers reacted strongly, but one who knew the time frame was baffled. Not only did he defeat ten rare monsters in two days, but most of them were unknown, and the number would be higher if it included powered up versions. That reaction made sense considering these factors.
“The videos all take his safety into consideration, and the rare monsters filmed will only be shown in their respective dungeons. We intend to punish recording, duplication, and leaks severely.”
“But since we’re sure everyone is curious, we will make an exception this time. But if these videos are used to do something bad, grandpa will punish you.”
“Then let’s go in order. First, the Death Crab and Shell Knight of the Heart Dungeon.”
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
“This is the information on the rare monsters that have been filmed, checked, and defeated in the last few days.”
‘Three people did this…’
‘And you said he was a little tired.’
‘He’s too enthusiastic.’
‘But still, level seventy monsters can appear even on the first levels of the beginner dungeon. Depending on the conditions that lead to their spawn, we might need to consider prohibiting approaching them.’
‘But it takes a lot of Luck to spawn a rare II. Judging by this footage, I think we can circumvent it by explicitly warning adventurers with high Luck.’
‘Yes, adventurers are responsible for themselves. We could say that adventurers who want to challenge rare monsters after seeing this footage are free to do so.’
‘But even if the cores are a clear weak point, these stats are scary. They also regenerate when attacked somewhere else, and their agility along with the high position of their weak point makes it harder to strike. All people can do is break through their defense with a super fast attack as shown in the video, or catch them off guard.’
‘Judging by the level alone, there are plenty of these in the high rank dungeon, but the abilities and stats are what brings it several stages higher. How many teams could beat it upon encountering it for the first time… This video will be very helpful. I would like teams in my branch to see it as well, so can they go to the 525 branch to watch it, Miki?’
‘Yes, I believe there will be a flood of people after it opens, so I want to restrict the number of teams who can watch it at any given time, and have them be supervised by employees. If there is no issue, I will make an announcement on the news page tonight, and it will open tomorrow morning.’
The branch managers discussed and decided policy, and it was settled on opening the next noon.
“Continuing, as you saw, he has hunted many rare monsters. This means a lot of skill orbs. Himself and his partners used them to some degree, but there are still spares, so we would like to add them to the requests.”
“And this is the list of skills. Their prices are listed next to their names, along with how many spares there are~.”
Every kind of Fast Run, along with every spare skill below IV was listed, bringing a shine to the branch managers’ eyes.
‘Oooh!!’
“By the way, you’re getting a twenty percent discount. Maybe we can discuss some perks in various dungeons.”
‘Ooooh!!’
The spare skills were sold, and anyone who wished to discuss prices did so individually in turn. It was a win-win for the branch managers, and as their business concluded, the meeting ended without any issues.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
“Did you wait long, Shouta? Oh?”
“Ayane? Where is Shouta?”
Once they returned to the living room, Aki and Maki saw Ayane and Aira fresh from their baths, who seemed to be watching the auction. The Sand Golems were sweeping the floor, and the Clean Water Golems cleaned it with cloths. It seemed their training was going smoothly.
“Ah, good job. Darling went to sleep before the auction started.”
“I offered him a massage after the bath, since he appeared to be all sorts of exhausted, but that was the killing blow. He fell asleep, so I took him to his room.”
“I see. But tonight was Maki’s turn…”
“I don’t mind skipping today.”
“Neither do I. Master needs his rest.”
“Thank you, Ayane and Aira.”
The sisters stopped the golems near them, and held the Clean Water Golems, as they sat with them on the sofa. Then they noticed something was off, and touched the golem’s bodies.
‘!’
‘!?’
“Oh? Did they… Change shape?”
“Yes. I asked darling to make their faces and bodies cuter.”
Said Ayane while patting River like Shouta did to her.
“The lady’s request was sensible, but master’s eyes looked dead as he did that sort of precise work.”
“Wait, is that why he fell asleep…”
“But they look cuter with things like their chibi eyes. I think it’s good.”
“If you say so Maki, I guess it’s fine.”
The auction continued, and then it was time for the adamantine series they put up. They watched it as they checked their plans for the next few days.
“While we’re at it, how about we do some final checks on our traveling plans?”
“Then I will serve some tea.”
“Ah, Ayane. I booked that ryokan you talked about the other day.”
“Really? I can’t wait!”
The girls continued having fun while making travel plans.
