585 Queuing to Complain (1/2)
”Anyway, that's my information. If there are no other matters, I'll take my leave.”
The Sludge Monster opposite Sherlock got up and took off its hat as a show of respect.
”Good, I'll contact you if there's a need to.”
Sherlock tossed out the round Adamantine rock in his hand. Inside was the latest ”High School Examinations Compilation”.
The Sludge Monster assimilated the round Adamantine rock greedily into his body. He was pleased and shouted, ”Ah, the taste of knowledge!”
After the Sludge Monster left, Eggface said warily, ”It was really unintentional.”
He was worried about destroying the crystal.
If Lord Sherlock were to punish him with work and computer game prohibition… then life would be unbearable!
Sherlock had accomplished his task, so he left with his pets.
However, the area outside the cafe was full of gamers.
The Sludge Monster was having a hard time squeezing through the crowd.
He ended up dragging a few gamers with him.
”Is there a Strange Encounter Mission for me?”
”Please give me a Strange Encounter Mission!”
”Please!”
However, there were more gamers who wanted to enter the cafe.
Lord Sherlock appeared in a cafe in the distant Venice.
Once the information was posted on the forum, numerous gamers rushed to Venice.
If Lord Sherlock appeared at a Dungeon, there must be a Special Mission!
But it wasn't easy for the gamers to get close to Lord Sherlock.
”Lord Sherlock, since the gamers are here, aren't you going to give a Hidden Plot monologue?” Bru asked Sherlock.
That was what Sherlock intended to do.
When Sherlock was speaking to the Sludge Monster, the gamers had been capturing videos of their conversation.
The gamers gained access to the roof and ceiling, so they were able to do that.
Sherlock knew about it, but he didn't stop them. After all, it was related to what he was going to do later.
While the gamers were gathering outside Cat's Urine Cafe, waiting for missions, Sherlock grabbed his windbreaker and went out. Then he muttered to himself in a loud voice, ”It seems pertinent to send someone to investigate Dungeon Lord Alexandria.”
After that, Sherlock vanished in the streets.
That was all Sherlock needed to do. The gamers would take care of the rest.
…
Leather Shoe had been living a good life for the past few days.
After recruiting the gamers to work for him, his personal income had been increasing at an astonishing rate.
Whoever wanted to peddle their goods at the spacious plaza had to pay fees, and a portion of the fees was given to Leather Shoe.
Leather Shoe thought that the higher management would step in to take control, but after a few days, there was no reaction.
He scolded Leather Shoe as a despicable scoundrel!
He almost sacked Leather Shoe on the spot.
Later, the gamers came to help Leather Shoe out of the crisis.
It was a dark and stormy night.
A creature who was wearing a large windbreaker and holding a round Adamantine rock walked over. The creature's face was covered, and he looked around warily. Then he said in a small voice, ”Bro, do you wish to learn? It's affordable.”
