Chapter 163

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

I opened the guild’s homepage and confirmed that there was no specific age restriction. Everyone seemed very interested, so we decided to plan a visit.

Just in case, I called to confirm.

“Thank you for calling Nagoya Dungeon Guild.” (Receptionist)

“Hello, this is Fujikawa Kouta from Dungeon Philharmony. Would it be possible for middle school students to tour the guild shop?” (Kouta)

I turned on the speaker so everyone could hear.

“Oh, it is you, boy. What are you planning now? The whole world is watching your every move. Japan is working hard to protect your personal information underage or not, but it is only a matter of time. Be careful.” (Konno)

“Hahaha! That is troublesome. I want to keep surprising everyone with our streams, but perhaps I should restrain myself a little.” (Kouta)

The person on the line was Konno-san, to my surprise.

In front of the middle schoolers, I exaggerated slightly to maintain Senpai’s dignity. In truth, I only had one more interesting idea left.

“Germany publicly admitted to buying your information, so now every country is trying to contact you. Japan wanted to buy it too.” (Konno)

“Germany will reveal it eventually. So, what about the rules?” (Kouta)

“There is no rule against it. But my new supervisor is clutching his stomach right now. He says he needs a little time.” (Konno)

“Then I will wait twenty seconds. Youth’s time is more valuable than adults’, so I cannot wait longer.” (Kouta)

I heard Konno-san laughing loudly on the other end. On our side, Muze was also laughing so hard she could barely stand.

“All right, the boy gave up. I will handle the tour. When will you arrive?” (Konno)

“Let me see. We should reach there in about twenty to thirty minutes.” (Kouta)

“That fast? You mean today? Got it, I will wait for you at the entrance!” (Konno)

“Thank you very much.” (Kouta)

“““Thank you very much!!””” (??)

Everyone understood why I had pointed the phone toward them and responded together. Then they quickly began preparing to leave.

“I am sorry, Senpai, for dragging you into this.” (Kouta)

“No, not at all. Everyone looks so happy, and I am excited too. I rarely have time to visit the shop myself.” (Adelaide)

She was as busy as any working adult. I did it out of passion, but handling things for her family as well must have been difficult.

And the dungeon too…

“Has dungeon exploration been a burden for you?” (Kouta)

“No, not at all. I do it because I enjoy it, and more importantly, it pays.” (Adelaide)

Senpai made a sharp gesture for money.

Even with a small share, our earnings were enormous. Each member received at least as much as a full-time employee’s starting salary. That was more than enough.

My solo activities were separate. Without them, I could not have bought Emilia that ring. Adelaide-senpai also wears one herself… I wonder what she think of that now, walking beside me.

As for the collar… let us not mention that.

“27 minutes and 42 seconds! Right on time, boy!” (Konno)

“Ah, Konno-san. Thank you for having us today.” (Kouta)

She had timed us? Does she have that much free time?

Meanwhile, Senpai’s brother and his friends greeted her politely.

Good manners.

Konno-san guided us through the guild, giving us a full tour. Senpai and I followed at the rear.

Though their goal was the shop, this was their first visit to such a place, so her attention to their comfort was appreciated. I would not have thought of that myself.

“All right, everyone, here is a question. What do you think is the most expensive item in this shop?” (Konno)

After walking us through the store, Konno-san suddenly posed the question to the middle schoolers.

But if it was the most expensive, could they not simply check the price tags?

“That armor displayed behind that lady!” (Boy)

“The accessories in the showcase!” (Girl)

“That sword over there!” (Boy)

“What are you talking about? The spear over there is more practical!” (Boy)

“That lady!!” (Boy)

Hey now. Do not put a price on Shizuka-san.

“No, no. It is an item, not a person. And certainly not Muze-chan.” (Adelaide)

Adelaide-senpai joined in the fun, thinking along with them.

As for me, there was no doubt, the Kusanagi Sword was the most expensive thing here.

Wait, could it be…

Konno-san grinned and pointed at me.

“The equipment he is carrying. I do not know which piece exactly, but one of those. You should all aim to earn enough to buy something like that someday.” (Konno)

“Yes!!” (Group)

Their eyes sparkled as they looked at me.

She had said that to preserve our reputation, but it made my heart race.

After finishing the tour, Konno-san departed. Senpai’s brother and his friends began comparing prices and defensive stats, calculating and discussing. They were allowed to touch some items to feel their weight and texture.
