Chapter 073
“Hmm…”
In my favorite hunting ground in the shallow floors of the dungeon of the royal capital.
Instead of crushing the monster’s core with a single blow with my [Shadow Sword], I used the [Scarlet Bee’s Needle] to decapitate the cow monster that appeared here, which was a different way of defeating them than usual.
Because the corpse will remain that way.
And Akame-kun crawls into the head of the remaining corpse.
She stretched out from my shadow as I approached, dived into the corpse and crushed its core, then dived into another corpse and crushed its core… that repeated 10 or so times.
Relics are dropped sometimes, but she shows no interest in them.
It seems that she’s only aiming for the core.
It doesn’t look like she’s getting any worse, so there shouldn’t be a problem, but…
I was planning to come again the day after tomorrow, but just in case, should I wait a little longer?
Wait and see.
More than that, the people themselves probably intended to hide, and in fact, I wouldn’t have been able to notice it by myself, but there are several people watching my situation all the time.
I found them through the wall while fighting.
I don’t know how strong they are, so I’m pretending not to notice… but is it a common occurrence?
Like hitting a nail that sticks out…?
“Oops.”
I heard a “Ping” sound from my bosom.
It’s the alarm sound of my timer.
“It’s already an hour…”
I’m curious as to who they are, but I was able to test Akame’s ability, and I got one divine coin.
I’ve done what I have to do, so let’s go home quickly.
I floated up to near the ceiling and start moving.
Along with that, they also took a distance so that they would not enter my sight.
I’m aware that I’m acting strange, but it’s impressive they can also match my movements…
They’re strangely skillful, so maybe they have been watching me for a while now.
I should consult it when I return.
◇
The guys who were watching me in the dungeon eventually followed me to the entrance, even though they kept their distance.
I don’t know if they were in the same group, but there were 5-6 of them, and I don’t think they were just watching me…
Even after leaving the guild, I didn’t go straight home, and wandered around the city in vain, but I didn’t find anything.
Well, anyway, I made a detour, so it took me a while, but I returned safely.
I usually go in and out through the back door, so I don’t know what the front looks like, but it doesn’t look like there are any guests.
Is Grandpa at the mansion?
When I enter through the back door, I hear voices in the nearby kitchen.
I guess they’re taking a break after finishing their work in the morning.
It’s just the right time.
“I’m home~.”
“Oh my, welcome back.”
“Welcome back. Do you have any injury?”
“Nope~.”
The people in the mansion know that I’m going to the dungeon.
This exchange happens every time.
“Here, take this. Share it with everyone.”
I handed over the items I had bought on the way.
“Oh my, a cake! Wasn’t it expensive?”
The contents of the bag are two whole cakes from a popular store.
Its price is 1 large silver coin, which is about 10,000 Japanese yen.
About this… I wonder?
I didn’t buy many cakes in my previous life, so I don’t know much about it, but I think it was around 5,000 yen per whole cake.
When I think about it like that, it feels expensive, but considering the use of fruit and fresh cream, considering the logistics situation, it feels like a bargain.
I think it’s also amazing that cake shops exist here.
I’ve saved up some money, so I guess it’s not too bad to go shopping soon.
“You’ve taken care of me a lot, so~. By the way, is the former Duke in?”
“My lord is in his room. There shouldn’t be any guests scheduled for today.”
“Really? Thanks~.”
“Ara, aren’t you going to eat before you go?”
“Un, I’ve already tasted some while I was carrying it~.”
“Bye~,” I waved my hand and left the kitchen.
“Hmm…”
I look at my appearance, but it’s not particularly dirty.
Even so, I was in the dungeon for about an hour, so it’s not a good idea to go see him like this.
I think I have plenty of time, so maybe I’ll go after changing my clothes.
I decided so, and went to Seliana’s room to use my [Hideout].
