**Day 27 Early Afternoon Omui Guild**
Dragged to the guild master's office, forced to listen to his long speech, escaped from the guild master's room, finished the buyback, ran into Spear Ojii-san, chatted with Spear Ojii-san... What is this insane ojii-san encounter rate? Seriously, can I just burn them all now? About time. Ah, I bet I was summoned to this world to exterminate ojii-sans... Eh!?
"Is that for real? For real? For real? For real? For real? For real? Seriously for real? For real for real? The serious kind of for real? Absolutely no mistake? Not lying? If you're lying it's Earth Needle Senbonzakura, okay? Really really really? Can I stab? A thousand?"
Down on the first floor of the guild, Spear Ojii-chan was there. "Because of you I went through hell..." or some baseless accusation, but I straight-up ignored it and pried for info on the shady peddler. My favorability's still with him, but looks like he won't be back for a while. My opposite-sex favorability.
While talking, turns out most of those weird items are mysterious dungeon drops, so they're dirt cheap. Sometimes he even buys them up right in front of dungeons. Buyable now. Three? No, only one was left, but what if it's not enough? My opposite-sex favorability? Feels short? Got yelled at again today?
Also, apparently doesn't want to get stabbed with Earth Needles. Gotta think of a different technique.
"Ota! Ota A! O, T, A! Hand over the dungeon info! Now! Immediately! Hand it over or I'll sic the bitches— all five!! Marukabiri on the head? So spill!"
Ugh, these dawdling otakus. Always ota-ota-ing around. Hurry up already—the pheromone ring in the dungeon is calling me!
"!! ...I was Ota A... Wait, O, T, A is way too abbreviated! That's missing one A! Also, I made up with Shimazaki-san and the others! Don't sic them! It was the first time anyone said thank you to me..."
"No? Who cares about that? Dungeon info! Now! Immediately! Or I'll sic the idiots too—all five!! Atama baka? So spill!"
"Hey! You cut off my good moment! And Kakizaki-kun and them apologized too! 'Atama baka' is just straight-up insult now!! And you still don't remember anyone's name!?"
...
...
...
Interrogated Ota A, snatched the report from Ota B, made Ota C explain.
"...I was Ota B... Yeah, kinda figured..."
"O, T, C? What is that? ETC's buddy? Skipping just one letter and it's unreadable!"
Noisy bunch. Think about my favorability for once. Imagine it: deep in a dark labyrinth, unseen by anyone, waiting forever in what feels like eternity—my favorability is waiting for me!
Otaku daring to join ETC's ranks is way too presumptuous. Apologize to ETC. ETC is actually useful. Totally different from OTC. OTC—you'd just get carsick and puke if I let you ride. What are you even saying, Ota A?
Anyway, shopping first. Made the otakus compile a necessary-items list. Show it to general store onee-san and it'll all be there. Gotta hurry—my favorability... opposite-sex favorability... Faster, even faster...
Got yelled at by a soldier? If flying's not allowed, write it down somewhere! I didn't know! No signs either! Nobody knows, right? Flying prohibited? Totally the administration's fault—why am I getting yelled at? I'm in a hurry!
Finally reached the general store. Quick shopping blitz.
"Onee-saaan! Everything on this paper! Sell it all! Chop-chop!!"
Prep is essential. It's called a labyrinth, so probably a maze. If it was just a cave I'd renovate and live in it—way more dangerous than a cave.
"Um, these? Get them all? 'Love, courage, and friendship' aren't for sale, you know?"
Before conquering the labyrinth, maybe I should conquer—and destroy—the otakus first. Just hunting and burning was too soft.
If love was actually buyable I'd skip the labyrinth and go straight there. I'd go immediately. Where's it sold? That's the one thing I wanna know most!
"Also... 'Rope of near-infinite length, guaranteed to fall off a cliff! Put it at the very bottom!' We have rope, but... only finite length? Why are you planning to fall off a cliff?"
Zero intention of falling off cliffs, but on the way back I'll drop the otakus into hell. Turns out cliffs are too gentle for them.
"And 'companions'... you have to buy them? We don't sell those?"
Right! War. They're picking a fight with a loner! Fine, unsealing it. I'll Inferno them. Enjoy going bald. Forever.
"Also, 'common sense' isn't in stock either...? None? ...Nope."
What kind of list is this!? Insult list, right! Why would you need this for a labyrinth? You guys need it more. Bad reputation. What was the last thing?
"Small stuff we have... but 'Designated Anger Person: Class Rep Recommended' is impossible."
What the hell do these guys even think I am? Might need to make them sit seiza and explain. That should go on the necessary list too.
Why do I have to go to a labyrinth just to get lectured!? What are you even looking for in there? A sermon waiting at the bottom? I'm not going to a labyrinth like that! Hard pass! I don't need to conquer a labyrinth for lectures—there's already twenty people's worth waiting at the inn! Not just necessary—it's somehow always equipped? Cursed? Can't unequip? ...Hunt them.
Got back to the inn and they had fled.
Took too long hunting, so no labyrinth trip.
They didn't want their heads burned, so they were crying while putting barriers on their heads. Totally useless cheat ability. Almost had them...
