**Day 45 Morning General Store**
Came early to finish exterior reinforcement on the half-built general store building, do interior and product display… walked in and saw big sis with huge eye bags, swaying unsteadily while working? Yeah, not a ghost apparently?
"Good morning? Kinda morning came? Feels like? Bear?"
"Who's the bear! Good morning—someone's fault I pulled all-nighter! All-nighter working and still can't finish displaying! No end in sight, opening soon but nowhere near done——!"
"Yeah. No shelves/tables yet—so impossible? Making now, displaying pointless—have to move anyway?"
Ah, depressed. Deep depression too, but basement only one floor? Drop too low—might summon Dungeon Emperor, seriously? Yeah, experienced, one right here?
Pitiful, so built wall-mounted racks directly. Armor Committee Chair high-speed displays while clearing. Ex-Dungeon Emperor speed—afterimages look like ten hands! This is bottom-floor lord power—tatatatataaa! Playing around, big sis finally revived, crawled back up?
Roughly organized. Layout better consult store manager.
"Walls—don't want too high-class feel? Makes general store uninviting? But brighter better—more windows ok? Sunlight damages/fades stuff, so safer white interior. Yeah, more shelves = more display, but intentional empty space feels stylish? Atmosphere key for buying urge. Cheap small stuff near counter—impulse buy. Back counter area better. Clothes/accessories—wide wall there, packed shelves opposite for variety appeal? But looks important—more dishes too? Kitchenware? Clothing/food/housing steady business, high replacement demand… ah, glassware eye-catcher too—high price makes others seem cheap. Price range needed. Sooo…"
"Shuuuuut uuuuuuppppppp!! No more!! Sleepy! All-nighter! Still can't finish displaying! Too big, too much! Why so luxurious? What big shop is this? Even capital no shop like this—what building?! People gathering outside since yesterday? Just general store! What do they want from general store? Especially you—what are you doing? General store—understand? As you talk—tables/shelves appear one after another? Perfect fit measurements? Why my store—no one listens to me, briskly displaying! Wait—2F too? Doing it? Large goods? Beds? Sofas? Putting in general store? General store! And making them!? What unknown table/chairs… sell that cheap? Eh, self-made free? Furniture craftsman? But built building? Entered dungeon!? Unemployed what!? Doing every job! Cooking, medicine too. How self-sufficient at this level!!"
Ah—loud. General store big sis angry, seriously angry. Sleep deprivation—skin corner vertical drop, soon not "big sis"… no, nothing. Alright,頑張るぞー.
Like that, finished interior full-force before open, all products displayed, filled gaps with self-made furniture/medicine/cookware/mid-century objects. Hobby included. Yeah, stylish shop now—good enough, head home.
"Done—good work? Yeah, business頑張って. Huge line outside? Line-forming general store? Kinda? See ya."
Big sis waved distant-eyed. Resigned, enlightened probably… seeing long line, what happens at open.
Now, dungeon time.
Or rather, helper today. One dungeon in group conquest not progressing. I basically one day—others take seriously! I entered two dungeons—both dead day one? Why stuck? Kill Dungeon King first—trick probably?
"So helper here~. Play nice? Kinda? Wait—still not cleared? Kinda?"
"""Normal dungeons don't die in one day! Normal pace not this late!"""
Committee chairs harmonizing, one left out? Ah, shield girl always blown away.
"Only committee harmonizing, shield girl excluded? Bullied? Not committee? Aim Shield Committee Chair?"
"""Not bullying! And Miwa-chan shield girl—when named! And committee chairs what!?"""
"I was shield girl! Need Shield Committee Chair?"
Shield Committee Chair goal apparently? Might get along with Armor Committee Chair, but Armor Committee Chair armor actually useless? Yeah, no scratches—unilaterally attacking, armor unnecessary? Next election—likely lose. Might not get along? Dunno?
"""Listen to Haruka seriously—bad. Worse than devil temptation""""Yeah, devil massacres—still worse quality!""Wait! Harsh! Bullying? Demon slaying usually praised? Massacring devils worse than devils—gonna cry?"
"Crying side is demons. Your killing method feels dirtier than demons—makes demons pitiful."
Some issue? Demon Blades on bargain—I bought tons too? Still have? Net-captured skewered—big haul? Bought same—accomplice? Fishing buddy? Not guilty?
"Day 3, still 9F? Lv90-class party? Shelving own slacking—hype hype, dancing? In dungeon? Hype hype dancing? Dangerous?"
"""Not dancing, not slacking! This dungeon annoying. Why hype dance in dungeon—more dangerous person than dance!"""
"This dungeon all hard golems. Get blown away. Pyuu~"
Shield girl blown here too—forest orcs often. Shield job but slim, decent height, not power type—why tank? But bought 'Counter Shield' + 'Armored Plate'—good customer. Yeah, regular high-bidder.
"See? Golems—drop = break? Usually? Experience—dropped broken/dead? Probably?"
"Worldwide no one but Haruka holes dungeons! Normal people can't open, don't open! And dungeon still alive—can't hole here?"
Yeah, living dungeon impossible. Previously killed first—easy. Need kill Dungeon King to break dungeon. Great labyrinth remodeled but no holes—probably angry Dungeon Emperor? Well, angry every morning?
Head to 10F—really golems. "Stone Golem Lv10." Everyone beating. Hard to shatter. Oh—rear great sage, Vice Chair B punching! Punching! Punching! Punching! Keeps punching!
Great sage but not wise-looking. Magic? And shaking! Shaking! Shaking! Shaking! Wildly shaking every direction! Great sage—big… *ahem ahem*, staff apparently. Punching but staff. I slash with staff—fine. Scary—advance. Golem less scary? Rear killing intent scarier, seriously.
