.Purchases products were brought inside one after another into the store.
The store was crowded with adventurers bringing their products, and buying products.
[Okay, your total is 20k Piros.]
One of the employers tallied the money, then gave it to the adventurer, and also a weapon as well.
[What’s this for?]
Standing beside and watching over the scene, I asked the Dungeon a.s.sociation of Tetramine, Dale.
[It’s the weapon that Ryoutsama has made, so we decided to rent it out. As we do not have much right now, and there are days when adventurers wouldn’t go to the stores for a few days.] (Dale)
[I see, so you rent it out, and return it back at the time of selling.] (Ryouta)
Dale nodded.
[At first, we don’t have many weapons to sell, so it was used as first aid, but now this can also work as a license, and we’re thinking of following that in the future.] (Dale)
[I see.] (Ryouta)
I nodded.
It’s a step in the right direction.
[Phew, I’ve earned my share today.]
[Let’s go drinking.]
[Ou! Let’s go to a slightly nicer restaurant today.]
[Agree.]
A group of adventurers were chatting while going out of the store.
The exchange was tremendously good.
[Ooo…..Just a few months ago, I wouldn’t imagine to see such a scene at all…………] (Dale)
Dale was impressed as he heard it.
[I’m glad.] (Ryouta)
Advertis.e.m.e.nt[Yes! Actually, there was a great story I heard yesterday.] (Dale)
[What was it?] (Ryouta)
[A bank is to be open in this city.] (Dale)
[Heh, isn’t that great?] (Ryouta)
I was secretly impressed.
Among many merchants, no one is as sensitive to the smell of gold as a bank.
I guess they were convinced that Tetramine would further develop due to the attention to this city.
At least there’s no doubt that the flow of money will increase.
Well, that’s good for now.
[Ryoutsama.] (Dale)
[Hm?] (Ryouta)
[I’m really really thankful for you!] (Dale)
Dale took my hand, clasped it hard and bowed again.
I’m happy that Tetramine is doing fine after the request.
Using the Transportation Room, I went to Plumb.u.m’s room.
[Ooh, you have finally came.] (Plumb.u.m)
As usual, Plumb.u.m was drawing something, and raised her face and greeted me with a smile.
[You should know that I will often come.] (Ryouta)
[Fufu, of course-jya.] (Plumb.u.m)
What is it that’s natural?
I mean, it’s it natural to lift up your head when you hear someone coming.
But after a few days, it seems like she started raising her head even before I called for her.
I wonder if it’s because of my footsteps.
[Do not mind such details, even if the heavens and earth are rumbling, your sign will not be overlooked.] (Plumb.u.m)
[Isn’t it a little exaggerated?] (Ryouta)
[That is not so!] (Plumb.u.m)
Plumb.u.m strongly insisted.
[I can feel your presence, like this, my heart gets warmer when you approach-nojya. It is impossible to miss such a sweet thing.] (Plumb.u.m)
[I see. Well moreover….. What are you drawing today?] (Ryouta)
[Umu, it’s you as an adventurer.] (Plumb.u.m)
[Aah.] (Ryouta)
I nodded.
[I heard that you went to various dungeons, and have solved various difficult cases.] (Plumb.u.m)
[Well, it’s not as amazing as you think.] (Ryouta)
[So I’m writing it down. Since I do not know any other dungeons, so most of them are just my fantasy and imagination.] (Plumb.u.m)
[Heeeh, let me see…… Wait, isn’t this just a manga?] (Ryouta)
[Hou, so this is a manga.] (Plumb.u.m)
[And it’s so good! I’ve never seen such a self-taught person in my life.] (Ryouta)
Plumb.u.m drew a raw ma.n.u.script that was as good as a professional manga artist.
It wasn’t just a page or two, but one that can be made into a series.
[Aah, you drew me cool looking again.] (Ryouta)
I was drawn as the main character of the shoujo manga.
[I’ve said this many times but I just draw you as how I see it-nojya.] (Plumb.u.m)
[I- I see….Oh? This is…. You?] (Ryouta)
[U-Umu.] (Plumb.u.m)
Plumb.u.m whispered with her cheeks dyed red.
The main heroine is none other than herself.
She has drawn herself as is.
Well, originally Plumb.u.m is a beauty, so it has a presence that can be with [Ryo-sama].
[Hou hou…. Is this perhaps… Emily’s story?] (Ryouta)
[U-Umu. I’ve been writing the plot based on what you said-nojya.] (Plumb.u.m)
[I see.] (Ryouta)
It was kinda interesting.
A manga based on Emily and me.
The talk about borrowing the bamboo spear from Emily, desperately earning money in the dungeon, and renting my first apartment, and most importantly, how I was transported to this world after being dropped from a Slime.
(TLN: What the heck is with this 4th wall breaking s.h.i.t)
Looking at it becoming a manga, it was a very interesting experience.
[And that is?] (Ryouta)
It was a place where Emily says [Let’s live together] drawn.
And the content ended there, and it was where I stopped from my story.
However, the ma.n.u.script has a following page.
[What is—–] (Ryouta)
[Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!] (Plumb.u.m)
Plumb.u.m shouted and s.n.a.t.c.hed the ma.n.u.script from my hand.
[W-What happened?] (Ryouta)
[It’s nothing at all-nojya.] (Plumb.u.m)
[Is that so? Then I can read the next—–] (Ryouta)
[That is also a no no-jya.] (Plumb.u.m)
[Eh?] (Ryouta)
[That・is・a・no・no・no-jya!] (Plumb.u.m)
Plumb.u.m said it with a terribly scary face.
It reminded me of when I met her for the first time.
[O- Okay, I got it.] (Ryouta)
I stopped pursuing.
If she really hates it.
I was really curious what happens after, but I guess it can’t be helped.
[……I cannot show this to you. It is just my delusions, and if you know what a woman I am, you will hate me….] (Plumb.u.m)
Plumb.u.m muttered something beneath her breath.
[Are you alright?] (Ryouta)
[I- I’m alright-jya! Anyways, I want to hear more of the story.] (Plumb.u.m)
[Ah? Sure.] (Ryouta)
I sat across from her.
While consciously not looking at the ma.n.u.script, I stared at her.
[What are you going to talk about today-nojya?] (Plumb.u.m)
[That’s right….. Then in order, I’ll talk about how I met with Aurum.] (Ryouta)
[Aurum….. Ah, a fellow spirit-jya.] (Plumb.u.m)
[Yeah.] (Ryouta)
[What happened, I want to know more!] (Plumb.u.m)
Plumb.u.m suddenly came close to me.
Her eyes glittering, and having an exciting expression.
I would never have imagined her being like that the first time I met her.
[I’m glad…..] (Ryouta)
Thinking about what Dale said to me, it’s nice to be here.
Being satisfied, I spent some time with Plumb.u.m who was smiling and laughing happily listening to my story.
