The next day, I went shopping for the clothes my mother told me.
The location was the big chain store SHIMA◯RA (TN: original is しま◯ら, this is the store )
Even UNI◯LO was good, but I was told that there isn"t much design of preference, so I decided to SHIMA◯RA.(TN: original is ユニ◯ロ, this is the store )
While mom did the shopping, I went to the government office.
The business is about the monster meat.
Because the rejuvenation by eating monster meat is already known, that issue is okay.
The problem is about the powering up.
After that, I confirmed to the whole family, but they feel the weight of the objects is lighter than before, and it turns that the body moves more than they thought.
Moreover, it seems that their body became slim or slender.
Dad and grandpa did not just become slender, their stomach is packed with muscles and the abdominal muscles were divided, and that.
I thought that it was thanks to that I"m active in the dungeon that the muscles arrived.
Perhaps it"s an effect of the monster meat.
Well, I don"t know which effect is, but it was good if I gained power.
I came to the government office to convey what I said.
Then, I tell that I had something talk and my name at the government office, and before waiting for a while, the man who came to the dungeon investigation appeared.
"Did you have something to talk, did you have any problem with the dungeon?"
Oh, I see.
When I say that there is something to talk, normally you would think about the dungeon.
"No, The dungeon doesn"t have a problem for now."
"Is that so? That"s good. Then, what kind of business is it?"
"E~to, actually I was eating the dungeon"s monster meat, but I got a little worry."
"Did you eat the monster meat? Is that so? So?"
"It wasn"t only me that have eaten, my family too, but they all rejuvenated. About 10 to 15 years."
"Oh, if they rejuvenated to that extent you ate quite a lot."
"Yeah, since we ate almost every meal. The issue isn"t the rejuvenation, my whole family change their body shape and got stronger."
That said, the government officer"s face got tougher.
"Did you talk to someone about that?"
"No, I haven"t talked to anyone yet."
"Is that so. ……wait let"s move of place."
That said, the officer stood from the seat.
"A, yes. Understood"
I also stand up and follow him.
The place I followed was a private room where people around you don"t listen to the talk.
"Here it"s okay. Then, please sit down."
Because I was prompted, I sit.
"As you mentioned earlier, although you said that they gained power, but how much power did you gain?"
"E~to, even if I say that they got power, it"s not that much. They will be slightly stronger than an ordinary person."
"What is the monster meat that you eat?"
"Before was from the rat in the first floor, but now we"re eating rabbit meat."
"I see, you haven"t gone ahead yet."
"Yeah, because the person of the SDF said that it was better to fight the herds of rats."
"Ah, certainly he said that. Then, even now?"
"Yes, I"m taking as my main opponent the herds of rats."
"Is that so. Then you haven"t much trouble yet."
"Is there a problem?"
"Yeah, this matter is still top secret, but monster meat can give power, but the stronger the monster, the stronger it"s the effect. So, if it"s a monster from the surface, you can"t get much power. So, it isn"t a big problem."
"Is that so? Then, I couldn"t tell this matter to anyone?"
"Yeah, it would be helpful if you could do that. But, definitely, don"t say it."
"Why?"
"As the government, we can"t inform about this matter yet, but it"s appearing some people who are aware of this. So, I think this matter will become widely known. The government is also going to announce what they know at that time."
"Is that so?"
I guess.
There is no reason for others to notice what I noticed.
However, by saying that it was working to not be known, but, they won"t hesitate to announce when it comes to the limit.
That means, that a verification that is enough to announce was done.
Well, since there is the SDF, they don"t have trouble with monster meat, right?
From the current exchange, I don"t feel like they knew about being able to gain power for quite a while.
Nevertheless, there"s something wrong with the fact that they haven"t announced yet.
I don"t know what it is, but it"s better to refrain from placing my head on this matter as the government makes such decision.
"Is there anything else?"
"No, the talk is about this."
"Is that so. Then, if there is something again please come back. I don"t know if I can handle it."
He said so and laughed.
I guess that is a little joke.
"Yes, at that time please"
I answer so and stand.
I got out of the government office, but there is no contact from mom.
Is it that she doesn"t finish shopping that there isn"t contact yet, it"s nearly one hour after sending her to the shop?
Really, why woman"s shopping is so long?
I mean, it would be meaningless if mom dressed up.
Mom isn"t a beautiful woman, so n.o.body is going to be pleased if she dressed up.
Since she looks unsightly if dressed up poorly, if she buys something pa.s.sable it will be enough.
Now, what to do?
Looking like this, I don"t feel like shopping yet.
Since I"m going to be kept waiting even if I go to pick her up, I will finish other errands.
Thinking that I get in the car.
The place I headed is the shop that buys the monster"s materials.
It"s to sell the rabbits ears that I got this week.
There are quite a few rabbit ears.
I was hunting almost 5 to 6 rabbits a day.
Because I get two in one rabbit, it"s 10 to 12 in one day, and the number I got in a week is 76.
That time I sold one for 2,500 yen.
Even if the values fell a little, it"s going to exceed 100,000.
So, expecting it, I enter the store.
"Welcome"
I was called out by the shopkeeper when I entered the shop.
I went to the counter with the shopkeeper and put the rucksack where I put the rabbit ears that I brought.
"I would like to sell this."
Saying that I take out the rabbit ears from the rucksack.
"You brought a lot again. It will take a while until the appraisal is over."
That said, the shopkeeper began to appraise the rabbit ears.
I wait for a while, and the appraisal ends.
"I kept you waiting. I appraised all of it but there is no problem with the quality. If it"s this, let"s buy them at a higher price. How about 2,100 yen per one?"
2,100 yen?
Although the value is lower this time, well, it"s a tolerable range.
"Yeah, that"s fine."
"Understood. Then it will be……"
The shopkeeper uses the calculator.
"It will be a total of 159,600 yen."
About 160,000?
Not bad as earnings.
I pick up the money received and leave the store.
Since all the errands were over, I headed to the store where mom is.
As I got to the store, she is still looking inside the store, because I have chosen my clothes, I return to the car and tamper with the smartphone.
I"m watching a mobile novel.
There are some of my favorite works, and some of them are being made in books.
I admire that, it"s amazing to see such a thing.
And when I killing time, my mom finally finished shopping.
I look the time and it was close to 12 o"clock.
Because we came here around 10, it took about 2 hours.
Too long.
I wanted to finish it earlier.
I pick up mom in the car and return home.
When we got home, mom hurriedly went into the house and begin the lunch.
The morning has been wasted by shopping, but let"s enter the dungeon in the afternoon.
At that time I"m going to bring those fellows.
If those fellows can play an active part in the dungeon, let"s take them from now on.
Somehow, but if they are rats I feel like those fellows can do something.
I have to see the situation well so that there is no overdoing.
