45-Episode 44: Short Dungeon Life



That's 600,000 dollars in total. Please confirm.

You're a copycat.

''Let's say it's because it's Deca-Denji-kun... There are definitely some usable metals in Denji-kun's wreckage, but it's a hassle to take them out, and they're not that expensive. It's not very popular with hunters either, so...

That's what I thought. After all, no one showed up but us.



 In the evening we sold the wreckage of Mr. Decadent, which we had laboriously disassembled and transported, to the Hunter's Association.
 The amount was only 600,000 druk.
 It was originally a bulky piece of trash, similar to old abandoned home appliances and the like, so it was worth only some metal.
 It also cost a lot of time and money to take it out, so the purchase price was pretty low for something that size.
 Doubtless, no one but us would have come into that dungeon.
 The dead female hunters probably designated it as a convenient place to win, but we and Adolph and the others were broke.
 The reward for defeating them was huge in itself, though, so it wasn't a problem at all.

''Oh, isn't that Turlough-san?''

 When I left the Hunter's Association, I was approached by Adolf and his friends there.
 They quickly joined us, but immediately received accusatory looks from the surrounding hunters.

'Sorry for us...'

No. (Are they really that hot?)

 The Hunter Association didn't say anything about the stupid end of those stupid female hunters because Adolph and the others, who were also party members, explained it to them.
 It's not that they were responsible for their deaths, since they were originally hunters, and if they entered the dungeon, they were responsible for their own lives or deaths.
 However, the fact that the female hunters had exceptional beauty... although it seems like I've said it a million times, but to me they looked like the complete opposite... the story got complicated.
 I wanted to know her, I wanted to get to know her, I wanted to be active in the same party, I wanted to date and marry her if possible.
 The hunters thought that the Adolphs and us were responsible for her death.
 Even though they demanded only leveling and never killed a single sand beast in order to keep their skin beautiful and keep aging at bay, and even though they were still paid an equal share of the rewards, and even though they extorted various things from Adolf and the others, they were ostensibly wearing cats and many of them did not know their true nature.
 From their point of view, the Adolphs, who had sent the female hunters, the Madonna equivalent of Old Town, to their deaths, were also to be blamed, as were we, who had been the cause of their deaths, the opponents of the game.

 Worse, Larabell and the others are treated like dobs........

''Hunters who head to dungeons are on their own whether they live and get a buck or fail and die, though.

 Lalabelle has a good point, but unfortunately, not all humans are smart.
 Don't you feel responsible for sending these beautiful women to their deaths at the expense of the hood-deep dobs?
 Or maybe he was jealous of their beauty and assassinated them in a conspiracy.
 There were even some strange conspiracy theories.

We can't stay in Old Town anymore.

 They have more to blame for the deaths of the beautiful female hunters who had a monopoly on them than we do, and they plan to leave town to-morrow, saying they can't stay in Old Town any longer.

'We are, as you can see, of mediocre appearance. So we've become stronger as hunters, trying to somehow attract women...

 They have the same level of ability as advanced hunters, but to be rated as an advanced hunter by nature is an extremely difficult task.
 That's how hard they worked.

''That's why I was so happy to be approached by these girls. I thought that one day I might be able to marry them...

 If I marry them anyway, I'll have to ask them to join my family.
 That's why Adolphe and his friends spoiled the girls, who are hunters who don't fight.
 They must have had a bad character to begin with.
 That made them get more and more arrogant.
 There are many people who would like to get rid of such people, but that's the thing about love, you can't do that.
 If all love is right, there is no such thing as a breakdown.
 And the hunters who don't understand this situation look at Adolf and the others, and at us, with a critical eye.

"Where are you going when you get out of here?

I'm heading to Shiptown. There's plenty of work for hunters there.

Well....

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

 Adolf and the others apologized to us and then turned back to their lodgings.
 He's heading to Shiptown tomorrow morning for a boat ride.

"Mr. Tullow.

What a difficult situation this has become...

 A party of three males and three dorks involved in the deaths of three beautiful hunters.
 There are many male hunters who don't even bother to investigate the truth and even turn against us.
 If they knew their real situation........it would be impossible since they are dead.

'Taro-san, shall we leave this town?'

'I hear that further southwest the sand beasts will be much stronger. I don't think it will be much of an advantage in exploring the dungeon.

 In our case, the fact that the sand beasts we defeated would disappear is also bad.
 There was also the fact that if people knew about the existence of 'online shopping', there might be people who would take advantage of us.

''We should also leave here tomorrow........''

'I agree with Mister Taro. It's my husband's opinion above all.

'I agree with you. I don't see anything attractive about Old Town.

I'm with you, Master Taro.

 The three of us agreed, so we would be leaving Old Town tomorrow, too.
 Was it long or was it short?
 I don't know, it was a life of dungeon exploration.
