287. A large amount of bonus




......
I don't know. You won't be harmed.
Hmmm, no thanks.
"-Oh!

 The more colorful and beautiful of the two behind Neptune - Lil got angry with her eyebrows upside down.
 It's a sword fight that is about to eat me, but Neptune held up her hand to stop it.

 Neptune himself, as before, asked with the same smiling face as usual.

'I wonder why, would you be happy to tell me why?
You're not going to back down unless I let you.
Yeah, because I'm really serious about this one.

 I sigh one.

'You're not in trouble,'
Do you have to be in trouble?
I'll tell you what's no good: ......

 I don't want to hear that back with a straight face.
 It's certainly something I do consciously, but when I hear it back, it's .......

 Since I transitioned to this world, I've mostly worked to help people.

 People who have tried their best but have not been rewarded.
 People who have been exploited by someone else.
 Seeing them reminds me of my old self, and I've helped those people.

 Going by that, I don't think Neptune needs help.
 He's not an unrewarding person, nor is he an exploited person.
 In fact, he's the exact opposite.

 So I said no.

That's fine.
What?
I'm in so much trouble.

 Neptune chuckled, smiling his usual gentle smile.

'Tennysin,'

 I said.

'117?'
Yeah?
No, I'm talking about this one: ...... the new dungeon.

 At my mumbling, Lil and Ran's eyes widened and they looked at me like they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
 Neptune didn't, but on the contrary, he was smiling more and more.

'Haha, you're still an amazing person. It's amazing that you already know about a new dungeon that has not been announced anywhere, and that only a few people know about.
......

 I may have been careless.

 Number 117, Tennysin.
 Named at the same time as Nihonium, so I knew it.
 I didn't know its origins on this side of the world, I just knew the name, so I reacted, but that reaction was careless.

I'm in charge of researching it now," he said. "I've been tasked with investigating it right now, just like I did with the nihonium.
It's amazing.
And I'm in a very tight spot. To be honest, I don't know what I can do. I'm a bit under the influence of a curse. So I need your help.
Are we in a bind?
Yeah, honestly, you're the only person I know who can help me. You're the only person in the world who's more than me." ......

 I stared at Neptune, trying to find out his true intentions, which were difficult to understand - but it didn't make much sense.

'You're sly,'
Yeah?

 Neptune blurting out, it's hard to judge if he's alone, but the expressions on the faces of Lil and Ran, who are always hanging out with him, were more eloquent than anything else.

 Lil has an angry look on his face, saying he'll kill me if I don't take the job, and Ran has a sad look on his face, saying, "If you can't handle Neptune, I'll be ...... too.

 Both of them are more worried about him than he is.
 It's not fair of ...... to bring them to this place.

"...... is... okay.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
'Thank you! Lil, run.
Okay!
Humph, ......, I'm sure you'll do what I say.

 Lil and Ran, they turned themselves around in unison and ran out the way they came.

'What are we doing?'
'Prep, first of all, we have to advertise that I, Neptune, have joined the Lyota family.
Is that really necessary?
...... Yeah.
Hey, what's the big deal?

 Don't tell me those two were an act, too?

Ha-ha, oh no. In a tight spot, I don't want to take advantage of it or anything like that to get you on board.
It's so refreshing.

 I'm going to go in as hard as I can, and I'm starting to regret it a little bit.
 However.

 Neptune became more serious than ever.

'Thank you so much ...... for helping me out.
...... you're really sneaky.

 Sturdy or not.

 After that, Neptune said that he would come back when he was ready and walked away from Nifonium.
 I regained my composure and raised my Dexterity value to a B before returning to the mansion.

'Oh, my God, Lyota-san,'
What's the matter, Ina, you are in such a hurry.
Outside. Look out!
Outside?

 I looked out the window, just as Ena had told me to.

'Whoa! What's with that crowd? ...... There are over a hundred people in that crowd.
They're all adventurers, all under Neptune.
"Neptune?

 My eyebrows furrowed, I had a bad feeling.

'When they heard that Neptune joined the Lyota family, they wanted us to add ourselves to it. A number of people have already come to us saying things like, 'I'll follow Lyota's animator for the rest of my life.'
......

 My eyebrows furrowed, I think I'm getting a headache.
 I'm eagerly sought after, but as expected, there's no end to what I can do if I accept these guys as well.

 With that in mind, I turned them away for a while.

 A few days later, the Neptune Family under the Lyota Family, and even more so, the Neptune Family under the Lyota Family.

 A mountain of tertiary organizations were born, and I wanted to get my head around it all the more.
