Chapter 18 - Adventuring Again

Jumping at the high-pressure demand of Jinguuji, Vice Chairman Nanami poorly came out and bowed to cooperate.

It’s a method that is often in criminal dramas, after a high-pressuring young detective got into trouble “somewhat”, the veteran detective will soothe them and draw out the confession.

I am annoyed with the cheap inexperienced psychological negotiation technique showing through.

I’m still reading psychology books, I’d like to say that I shouldn’t be a fool but I can’t afford to kick the clinging stuff in the negative prohibited city.

I can also feel that Nanami’s face is tired as he pleads for cooperation with me.

The Shuichi Nanami I know is supposed to be more perfect and full of margin.

I feel a bit of sympathy for them, Seki is safe because they keep it secure as well, so for that I will tell them the minimum.

“I understand. I will not enter the student council, but I will tell you about the location of traps and monsters, is that okay?” (s.h.i.+njou)

“Saved by s.h.i.+njou Wataru-kun, I really appreciate…….” (Nanami)

Perhaps the words leaking out at the end is Nanami’s real intention.

On the ninth day after Genocide · Reality started, Shuichi Nanami, who was playing the perfect leader, maybe even his mask is beginning to collapse.

I don’t want to give gold coins to the weak people who can’t even leave the city, Jinguuji wondered about Nanami because he wouldn’t say anything absolutely arbitrarily.

No matter how hypocritical it is, it’s certainly good intentions.

And, Nanami got his dissatisfaction dissipated by his decision, but by playing a perfect leader in front of over 120 survivors, I have no choice but to turn him down.

How dare he, I am amazed that he likes it and carries the heavy luggage.

The map handed down from Nanami, although it was written in the notebook, it was tattered.

“It’s a terrible map, was this written by the mojacko head?” (s.h.i.+njou)

“Yes, Kagami Ryuji-kun wrote it, but this is our only information……” (Nanami)

The location of the traps and monsters written on the map by the mojacko head is too rough, and the more you go to the lower floors the more errors you make.

If you believe it and proceed like this, eventually casualties would appear one after another.

I tried to carefully fix it with a red pen, but it stained red immediately.

Anyways, I am a manager of a capture site where there are only 3 people in j.a.pan.

“Why is this way nyagunyana¹, it’s all overwritten as there are rulers like this!” (s.h.i.+njou)

“I’m sorry, I’m truly saved.” (Ryuji)

Even though it gave detailed information, I just wrote down the 3rd floor earning places so that it’s convenient for the guys’ survival.

Of course, I can’t tell them the information I would like to keep secret, such as the hidden garden safe area and the place where rares can be taken.

However, if you don’t try to earn gold coins properly, you can really die from starvation.

I’m a heartless person, but it’s not a pleasant experience for people to die in vain.

After fixing the map, Nanami returned his thanks many times.

“Fuu……I hope you are satisfied with this, and I hope that you don’t concern me.” (s.h.i.+njou)

“s.h.i.+njou-kun, what?” (Nanami)

Whether what I mumbled in a small voice was heard, Seki who was hearing sensitive reflexively listened.

“No, it’s nothing. Seki, are you willing to leave the city?” (s.h.i.+njou)

“What do you mean?” (Seki)

“There are safety zones in the bas.e.m.e.nt as well. I think it’s safer than being in the city and I think that’s better.” (s.h.i.+njou)

“Well, I still do things in the city, and I want to help everyone with what I can do.” (Seki)

‘I want to save everyone’, that’s right, Seki was that type of guy.

I thought that I could use a safe garden to hide Seki, but he is not a person who wants to be in a safe place only for himself.

“But, I’m saying this without joking, I think that I turned Jinguuji into an enemy this time, isn’t it really inconvenient if you are in the city?” (s.h.i.+njou)

I don’t know the circ.u.mstances of the city and the upper floors of the dungeon.

If there is risk, I will enclose Seki in rope and take him to the garden.

“I see, but there is no reason for s.h.i.+njou-kun to worry. But I’m fine, the Student Council Leaders.h.i.+p (SS) isn’t that strong.” (Seki)

“Not strong…” (s.h.i.+njou)

It was a momentum that seemed to dominate the Student Council, was that also a bluff?

“Because they manage the distribution of gold coins, general students are scared, but the strongest people who adventure with Nanami-kun, such as Mikami Naotsugu, aren’t thinking like Jinguuji’s way of thinking, so they won’t move.” (Seki)

“I see, the peerless Mikami.” (s.h.i.+njou)

I only talked to him once after I had come to Geno-Real, but that one-track mind personality is likely not to fit Jinguuji.

That said, when I saw the party of Nanami, it was full of athletic guys.

To them, is Jinguuji’s tone not holding on?

“Afterwards, Kujo-san’s girl group is quite strong, because I’m closer to that faction. The faction with Jinguuji as the lead, because they manage gold coins in the town they seem to be great, but it is barely the 3rd combat power by just having a lot of numbers, so they can’t do anything unreasonable at this stage.” (Seki)

Seki’s observation power, it isn’t foolish.

Although he’s not a Student Council officer like k.u.miko, he is looking closely enough to be able to figure out the power of the city.

“Besides that, I am already a monk. Because it’s strong, there is a chance to go around town.” (Seki)

“It’s different Seki, if you say that it would be a『Nun』.” (s.h.i.+njou)

Seki who has been training in town for a long time has already become a ‘Common Follower’ from a ‘Follower’, and has already reached the third stage of ‘Nun’.

By the way, the third rank of Priest becomes a Nun with no s.e.x difference.

Geno-Real is understood as expected.

“Hey Seki, if you go get Nun clothes from a Monk’s shop, if you learn that, it seems that the generation rate of potions will rise.” (s.h.i.+njou)

“Well, I will get mad if you say it any more.” (Seki)

Clenching his small fist, he swung up his slender arm.

Oh, scary scary.

I am sorry to think that it would absolutely suit you.

For the rare equipment of the monk system, there are many designs for women.

Someday you’ll definitely dress in it.²

Anyway, it can be said that it is quite a speedy advancement that he has already come to the 3rd row, even if it’s the Priest rank that is easy to raise in subordinate positions.

It might even be faster than the guys who are out on an adventure.

At this point, it’s close to the day where he can change his priesthood rank to a bishop, which is an extremely high position.

Because it’s designed to be reliable in making middle-cla.s.s potions, even if you are in the city it’s helpful to everyone.

Seki is Seki, he has solidified his position in the city.

I wonder if this is fine.

Obediently receiving the money I hand over, he won’t use it on himself.

Because it is Seki, he will give it to someone in need of money.

As I guessed so, he won’t listen.

If asked in detail what he is using the money for, “Since s.h.i.+njou-kun isn’t frank, I helped on my behalf”, he would say something outrageous.

A totally blown sucker, but I can’t do it, I can’t hate that Seki.

It’s not a waste of pity that Seki gives to people.

Such a connection, it also becomes insurance when an emergency comes.

So that’s why I handed over a large extent of gold coins to Seki.

It will be tough if Seki runs out of them.

“Whatever. Let’s eat a meal because I’m hungry.” (s.h.i.+njou)

“For rice, there are also j.a.panese restaurants as well. s.h.i.+njou-kun, only fast food is useless. Your nutrition is biased.” (Seki)

I would like to eat junk food for the first time in 9 days, but Seki is quite like that so it’s noisy.

I also think that he’s my mother, but every time that I say fast food, I entered a j.a.panese restaurant that Seki recommends.

In the city of Geno-Real, there are countless repertoires of food shops, and the kind of food is enriched.

Of course because the variety of food is abundant, there isn’t any meaning like a game.

As we go through the goodwill and enter inside, like a soba shop where owners had opened an independent business, inside the store was where the j.a.panese style was emphasized.

At a table with four seats, I sat down with Seki, k.u.miko, and Ussah. On the table,『Udon, Soba, Oden, Fried Chicken, Dumplings, Taiyaki, Sukiyaki, Tempura, Fujiyama Geisha』were written on the menu panels.

The names of j.a.panese cuisine the Americans know, it’s a miscellaneous menu that is disorderly and disarranged.

Why are j.a.panese fried dishes with fried chicken and dumplings, their sense is as usual.

Because Fujiyama Geisha is cold and it flows, it’s somewhat torture that the side dishes are complete but there isn’t any rice.

“Hey……, what is『Fujiyama Geisha』?” (Seki)

Seki touches a taboo that everyone didn’t mention.

“Stop it!” (k.u.miko)

“Please stop it.” (Ussah)

k.u.miko and Ussah gathered their voices.

I don’t know what to stop, but I also agree that it’s better to avoid it.

If a geisha³ NPC comes out, it will be troublesome again.

Seki, who shrugged his shoulders while being accused by everyone, was interesting, but since I’m hungry I will order without playing around.

“I’m having udon, and I would like some oden.” (s.h.i.+njou)

“s.h.i.+njou-kun, that combination is strange……. I will go with soba.” (Seki)

Seki says so while amazed.
