Chapter 12 - CH 12

Rose led us to a room that resembled an interrogation room.

"Please sit."

Rose said as she pulled the chair for me to sit.

"Thank you."

"Now tell me what you want to talk in secret."

"First, is there any new monster, new monster, or something?"

"If you're talking about monsters, that's half of their body shadow, then yes."

"Sooo, anyone died from them?"

"Thankfully, no one died from them, but many were injured."

'Oh, shit.'

"How bad are their injuries?"

"Missing limbs, Trauma, and many more."

'Don't you dare to say something.'

[I didn't say anything.]

'I know you were about to say something.'

[No, Host, I would never.]

'...'

[...]

[Congratulations, Host, on the New record for torturing and destroying people's lives.]

'You motherfu-'

"Is there anything else?"

"Yeah, I'm here to deliver magic stones that I got."

I said as I opened the void to show her the mountain of magic stones.

Rose was so shocked that she opened her mouth with an "O" shape.

"You didn't steal from every adventurer...Right?"

"Of course, not."

"My bad, even if you did, it would not be that many."

"I mean, it took me 12 hours in the dungeon to kill every monster in all 9 floors."

"You went to the dungeon at night?"

"Yep."

"Don't go to the dungeon at night."

"Why?"

"First, the new type of monsters and second are evilus."

"You mean this one?"

I pulled out a body from the void, showing it to Rose.

"I don't know how your magic works, but let's focus on what we got here."

Rose began to investigate the body showing a symbol on its back.

"He's really one of evilus."

"Do we know anything about them?"

"No, but with this, it means that the dungeon isn't safe even for a high-level adventurer."

"I see."

"Please wait for a moment."

With this, Rose called other guild members to help her count the stones.

(15 minutes later)

Rose came back with a big bag that's full of valis.

"1.3 billion valis."

PFFT

[Figured]

Billion? A billion?!

[Host, calm down.]

I'm trying, but I can't but this too much.

[You used Focus, which is channeling the souls on the stones, so it's expected to be this high.]

I'm rich? Me?

"Allen."

Rose's voice made me leave my thoughts, looking at her with a shocked face.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, totally fine."

I'M NOT FINE. I'M BASICALLY A WALKING TARGET FOR CRIMINALS.

[Host, you have teleportation.]

'...'

'Oh, right.'

"Do you need someone or-"

"No, no, I will deal with it."

"Ok, but be careful after all, with this much, all of Orario will try to take advantage of you."

"Don't worry, I will take care of this."

"...Fine, but be careful."

I put my hands on the bag, ready to teleport.

"See you later, Rose."

-Swish-

"Huh?"

Rose: 'Did he just disappear?'

(Twilight Manor)

In Loki's room, four individuals were present.

Ais, Finn, Riveria, and Loki.

"Finn, you don't think?"

Loki asked, hoping for being wrong.

"He went to the dungeon."

But Finn crushed that hope of hers.

"Do you think he's ok?"

"I think so...I hope."

"...Ais what are you doing here?"

"I want to fight him, but he keeps running away."

'Figures' x3

Soon, their talk ended when someone appeared out of thin air.

-Swish-

"..." x4

'I came at a bad time, right?'

'I wanted to teleport to my room, but I think I got it wrong because of how big the place is.'

[I understand, Host]

'Understand what?'

[Nothing]

Anyway, let's focus on this now.

"Um, hey everyone, I will take this and leave you alone to continue your conversation."

-Bonk-

"OW?! WHAT'S THAT FOR?"

"For leaving at night."

-Bonk-

"OW?! WHAT'S THIS FOR NOW?"

"For coming back without giving any explanation and intending to leave."

"Ok, I'm sorry."

"..."

-Bonk-

"OK, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!"

"Nothing, just felt like it."

Riveria hit my head THREE times with her staff.

'That hurt. Is it because she's level 5 or 6?'

[Host, she's level 6.]

'No wonder.'

I turned around to see Loki hugging the bag of Valis.

"I didn't know you came back with a gift for your goddess. Thank you, Allen."

I looked at her with a cold face.

"That's not yours."

"Oh, come on, I know how much you care about me since I'm your goddess."

"-Inhale-exhale...Riveria."

"Here."

Riveria handed me her staff, which I tried to see its capabilities.

"Yeah, this is perfect."

"Perfect for wha-"

-BONK-

"OW?! WAIT I'M SO-"

-BONK-

"WAI-"

-BONK-

-BONK-

-BONK-

-BONK-

Loki, right now, was crying from the hits I gave her.

"Why-sniff-Why Don't you respect your goddess even for little?"

"Why? Let's see. You're a pervert, that's one. You're greedy that you didn't check on me and went straight for the money, which makes it two. And last but not least...I wanted something to hit."

"You're treating me like a punching bag, aren't you?"

"No, no, no. You see Goddess punching bag is made for punching it but you, Goddess, are something to vent the anger."

"Isn't that the same?"

"Hmm, maybe."

I handed the staff to Riveria.

"We know you went to the dungeon, but what took you so long?" Riveria asked as she took her staff.

"Nothing big, just killing the monsters that fused with the void."

"How many?"

"I don't know, but I killed everything from the first floor to the ninth floor."

"So you killed every monster, which will make them spawn late, and the adventurer will not be able to get stronger because of that."

"Is that a bad thing?"

Riveria was about to answer, but Finn beat her to it.

"To me, I don't think so since we've got a report on these monsters and I have to say that you did a good job finishing them off."

"Thank you, Finn, but can I ask you for a favor?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"I want you to use this money to build an orphanage for children."

"Sure, but that will take some time."

"It's ok, and if there are any left, you can use them for your exhibition."

"Thanks for that, but how much did you get?"

"1.3 billion."

"WHAT?"

Loki shouted as she looked at the bag again.

"Anyway, Ais you wanted to fight, right?

Ais nodded.

"Then let's go."
