Highest Patreon Supporter: RegisRagnarok AND SinAria!!!(P.S Sin was so mad that I spelled his name wrong XD)
Bar, Villa de Edge.
I came here alone when the sun has long set, and ordered today"s recommended beer.
While I was at it, I ordered some sausages to complement with my evening drink.
While being a little tipsy, I enjoyed the deliciousness of the beer and sausage combination.
[Ryouta・Satou.]
The sight of Phillip and his friends barged into the scene.
The moment he entered the bar, he went straight towards my direction.
[I"ve found you.] (Philip)
[What do you want from me again?] (Ryouta)
[I admit that our previous match was my lost.] (Phillip)
Admit…..Even though he"s lost, how can he act so conceited? Well, not that I care.
[However, there"s no meaning to that! We"re adventurers, the real match is obviously against our earnings in the dungeon.]
[Huuh…..] (Ryouta)
I rubbed the front of my nose with my fingers as I let out a sigh.
If my family is here right now, they"ll surely kill this Philip again.
[So whoever earns the least loses.] (Philip)
[I see, alright. Let"s do it.] (Ryouta)
Not wanting to listen to him talk anymore, I just let him hear whatever he wants.
I"m kinda sick of hearing him.
[Fuh, I knew you"re gonna accept!] (Philip)
Catching a glimpse of his face, it seems that he had a full smile on his face, as he ordered his friends to leave the place.
While sending him off with my eyes—-Suddenly.
[—–!]
I took a breath, and my tipsiness was gone in an instant.
A woman pa.s.sed by Phillipe who was leaving triumphantly.
It was a woman that was dressed up like she was going for a party.
But it felt different around her.
I know that something"s different from her.
It"s as if she was almost the same as me…..Even without her status, she seemed really strong, was what I felt.
Philip who didn"t even feel anything while pa.s.sing by her, went away as the woman was walking right towards me.
Then standing in front of my table, she smiled.
[h.e.l.lo, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Rebecca・Neon.] (Rebecca)
[A, Aah okay?] (Ryouta)
[I"m someone like Aurum~] (Rebecca)
[——!] (Ryouta)
I was surprised once more.
Then realizing what she meant about someone like Aurum.
[Don"t tell me….] (Ryouta)
[I have received the name from Neon.] (Rebecca)
[….So it is Neon!] (Ryouta)
I didn"t realize it sooner as it was just a normal name, but when she said she"s someone like Aurum, I knew what she meant by that.
The atomic number 10, Neon.
It"s not a mistake that it"s one of the dungeon"s name.
[So you met with the spirit before?] (Ryouta)
Rebecca then smiled silently.
Rebecca・Neon
Also known as The・Perfect. (Cringe)
You"ll understand once you see the K-I-A board.
Level：５０／５０
Strength Ａ
Stamina Ａ
Intelligence Ａ
Mentality Ａ
Speed Ａ
Dexterity Ａ
Luck Ａ
Vegetation Ａ
Animals Ａ
Minerals Ａ
Magic Ａ
Special Items Ａ
[It truly is perfect.] (Ryouta)
[It"s only an exaggeration.] (Rebecca)
[By the way, is your status like this when you were first born?] (Ryouta)
[Yeap, right when I was at level 1.] (Rebecca)
[That"s even more amazing.] (Ryouta)
While inside the bar, Rebecca was sitting at the same table as me, while we were chatting.
After she showed me the status, I was wrapping around the fact of her status.
It"s one step better than Margaret.
For her first page, it"s an All F, but the second page is All A, whereas for her, both her first and second pages are All A.
[So, what is Perfect-san doing here?] (Ryouta)
[I did tell you about Aurum, so.] (Rebecca)
[Aah.] (Ryouta)
[I was curious about what would happen if I were to met with another spirit, or those who have received a protection. As far as I heard from rumours, it seems that Aurum is being liked by quite a lot.] (Rebecca)
[Aah….I see.] (Ryouta)
I did change the rule of Aurum Dungeon quite a few times.
That can only happen if you"re extremely good friends with the spirit of that dungeon.
[Aren"t you popular yourself as well. To obtain a name and all.] (Ryouta)
[We just have the same feelings. As if we were real sisters.] (Rebecca)
[I see.] (Ryouta)
She really doesn"t mind the small things at all.
When being praised, she doesn"t act haughty, which is rare because not many adventurers here behave without being humble.
The reason why I praised her was because, not only is she close to being the strongest in this world, but that she also met with a dungeon spirit before, and she act as if it isn"t a big deal.
[But I"m surprised you"ve met with a dungeon spirit.] (Ryouta)
[I was blessed. To be honest, I was actually born in a dungeon.] (Rebecca)
[……So you knew about how to open the staircase below?] (Ryouta)
[Yes. So in order to get that timing, I have been staying at the dungeon for almost 3 months.] (Rebecca)
When I thought he was one step better than Margaret, now he"s also a step better than Alice.
Although Alice has a low drop rate, but she knows when to defeat a monster.
Basically an ability to read a roulette.
But, she has Drop A.
Having these two together, it is indeed possible to meet with Neon.
[You"re amazing.] (Ryouta)
[Thank you very much.] (Rebecca)
[Plus you"re strong as well.] (Ryouta)
[Neon has given me too many special treatment, so there"s no choice but to leave some bones there.] (Rebecca)
Rebecca smiled.
What a modest person.
[By the way, what was the protection that Neon gave?] (Ryouta)
[Only one.] (Rebecca) (Another cringe)
[Only one?] (Ryouta)
[So I"m the only one who receives drops at Neon.] (Rebecca)
[……Ooh.] (Ryouta)
An unexpectedly amazing gift.
[So you basically monopolized the dungeon?] (Ryouta)
[Yeah. As I got along well with Neon.] (Rebecca)
She just said that, but I feel like the meaning has changed.
It doesn"t look like it"s just getting along well.
[There"s the thing with Aurum, but there"s also my curiosity of what sorts of people would threaten me next year.] (Rebecca)
[A threat?] (Ryouta)
[For the selling ranking.] (Rebecca)
[Aah, wait…..since I was the top three last year….which means!?] (Ryouta)
I looked at Margaret with my eyes wide open.
Again, she just smiled sweetly without saying anything.
Third in the world, threaten, and monopolizing the dungeon.
[You"re number one huh.] (Ryouta)
[Yeap.] (Rebecca)
She nodded naturally.
I can"t believe I"m seeing the number one here.
And she even came all the way here.
I wouldn"t have been able to guess that she would be the one, seeing how modest she is.
[So once you meet with Aurum, what would you do?] (Ryouta)
[I would love to ask Aurum about some stuff. Also with the other spirits, as I"m curious as well.] (Rebecca)
So she really is fascinated.
My perspective towards her changed after knowing she"s the world"s best.
It seems like a supernatural existence.
However, her eyes were suddenly wide open.
With a surprised face, she looked behind me.
Wondering what was wrong, I looked behind me.
[Yodsan found, nanodesu.] (Emily)
[I found you, Master.] (Leia)
The two girls called out to me with their own unique way.
Emily and Leia appeared from behind.
[What"s wrong, what happened?] (Ryouta)
[Nothing"s wrong nodesu. We just wanted to drink together with Yodsan nodesu~] (Emily)
[I see.] (Ryouta)
[And I accompanied Emily. I shall send Master back home properly if Master collapse by any chance.] (Leia)
[You don"t have to do that. Let"s drink together, that"s the fun of it.] (Ryouta)
[…..Yes, but only for a bit.] (Leia)
I started talking with them naturally, but Leia was looking at Rebecca and I remembered.
Thinking of how I should introduce her, Rebecca"s eyes were still wide open.
Now that i think about it, when she saw the both of them, she made such a face…but why?
[Do the both of you…..have the spirit"s protection as well?] (Rebecca)
[…..Aah.] (Ryouta)
Pon, I hit my hand.
That"s right.
Emily has a.r.s.enic"s protection, and Leia has Selen"s.
Which meant, that all four of us here have received a spirit"s protection.
[Let me introduce them to you. They"re Emily and Leia, my teammates and friends. And you"ve guess right.] (Ryouta)
[Nice to meet you, my name is Emily・Brown desu.] (Emily)
[My name is Leia.] (Leia)
After introducing themselves, Rebecca was even more surprised—-As it exceeded the limit of her expression, to the point where she returned to her original expression.
[This is far better than expected, seeing as there are three more people with the spirit"s protection….And to be following you..] (Rebecca)
Rebecca stood up gracefully.
[I"m glad that I came today.] (Rebecca)
After saying that, she left with elegant footsteps.
[W-what"s wrong, Yodsan. Did we do something bad desu?] (Emily)
[I was being cautious. Master, is that an enemy?] (Leia)
Being cautious, huh.
Well, it"s not bad to keep an eye of the world"s number 1….But, can"t be helped I guess.
