Two days after I attacked the C-level dungeon, I was calling Lion into my room.
There are many reasons why I called you, but simply because I wanted to talk to you without anyone asking me.
I also thought about calling a young woman into the old man's room, but I really didn't want anyone to talk to me.
Lion had nothing to hate about my worries, and she was supposed to come to my room, so she gave up her breasts.
He came to my room at the promised time. I let him sit in a chair equipped with Lion.
I have a small table in the center of the room, and I sit in a chair too, in the form of a table pinch across from each other.
"I need to talk to Lion, I want you to take this money first"
"Consultation? And... what the hell is wrong with all this money?
There are ten gold coins in the cloth bag I handed over.
It's an amount I don't even want to recall, but when it comes to ten pieces of gold, it's a lot of money, and if you find out outside that a girl has it all by herself, you could get caught.
"I want to explain this money first"
"Yeah."
"Think of this money as selling the Demon Stone (Dungeon Core) for the boss you attacked the other day."
"Think of me as the money I sold???
Lion gave a bewildered look.
"I said that for a reason. Actually, I haven't sold the dungeon core yet. But Lyon needs money for your mother, right? That's why I want you to buy me a dungeon core for the price."
"Why can't I sell it?
"Of course from now on, let me explain why. I know I spoke to you lightly before, but I'm being watched by some big, powerful idiot right now. If they find out we're diving in the dungeon, they're likely to harass us again. The means he took from me are cloudy, so I'd like to hide any traces of me diving in the dungeon."
"Yeah."
"Only Guild HQ can sell Dungeon Core, and you need to include a variety of information when selling it. Then I'm sure our information will get to him."
"Yeah."
"Lion may not understand, but it's a tremendous feat to say that only two swordsmen and porters attacked a C-level dungeon. If this information spreads, it's not just me. Even Leon must have a curious gaze."
"It's such an amazing thing. I had no idea."
"So I decided not to sell Dungeon Core right now. Then Lyon, who needs money for her mother's treatment, will be in trouble, won't he? Therefore, I would like to take the form of a purchase like this one. You can do your own research if you're worried because the market value is being checked properly. If you go to Alliance headquarters, you'll be able to see the price right away. So what do you say?
The cost of the dungeon core is out of my savings.
I haven't done anything other than dive into a dungeon in decades, so my savings are pretty good.
So the buying position is nothing.
Lion's response to my inquiry was fast.
"I see why. Thank you so much for taking care of me. I have no intention of disputing Mr. Label's decision. I was able to attack the dungeon because Mr. Label reached out to me after he dumped me."
Lion said to me with a laugh.
"Well, if we can still attack the dungeons in the future, can I take care of the core?
"Yeah. I'll take care of everything"
"That's the end of the story. It was a holiday to rest your body, but I'm sorry I called you. Leave me alone after that."
"Yeah. Totally fine. I want you to take this."
Lyon gave me five of the ten gold coins in the sachet.
"Half? What's going on?
"That was the first decision I made. My share is 50%, Mr. Label says 20%, and the remaining 30% are items and reserves!! Ten gold coins for the price of the dungeon core, right?
On the contrary, I was surprised.
Lyon realized I was giving him the price, everything.
Am I gonna get a proper refund from Lyon? I didn't try anything like that.
It's not a painful amount for me if it's about ten pieces of gold, so I was just unconsciously bagging the price I looked into in the Guild Hall.
Notice my mistakes and keep what is decided.
I learned to trust Lyon's attitude.
"Can I have it?
"Are you sure? No, we're buddies at the party. Don't be weird."
"Oh, okay. Thanks."
I receive five gold coins from Lyon.
"What does Mr. Label do today?
"Me? Thought I'd go around the market refilling items for my next dungeon or something?
"Can I follow you, too?
"Are you shopping? Nothing, but you don't have to do it about your mother?
"It's okay because my brothers are watching me. Plus, I've been getting a lot of money from the offense lately, so I can buy good quality drugs, and people with recovery skills can look at them. So your mother's getting better as the day goes on."
"Well, good for you. If that's the case, I don't mind. What do you say we go out now?
"Yeah. I was thinking about a new piece of gear too, so I need Mr. Label's advice"
"Advice? I wish I could choose a weapon that's easy to use... well, if you ever wonder, I'll give you some advice."
"Yeah. Please"
Lion laughs happily again.
We got to the market, and while we were flushing it properly, we were checking to see if there was any good product.
I've been going to the market for decades, so I know a lot of faces, and I was called out by a number of people just walking.
"Whoa label, are you purchasing today? There's a good potion in there today. Take a look."
"Oh yeah? I'll stop by later. Make it cheaper when you buy."
"Mr. Label. I made a new item. Use it next time you dive into a dungeon. So I want you to let me know how you feel about using it. If it's going to sell, I'm thinking mass production."
I kept talking casually at the store stopping by.
"Mr. Label, wow. Popular!!
"For once, it's a garden I've been in for decades. I know everything from corner to corner about this market. I'm glad Hans didn't turn his back on the store."
We will go around several stores and buy potions, medicines and other regular supplies.
On the way there was a weapons store so I took Lion inside the store.
On the counter of the store stood a man on the strong side of the skinhead with his arms in his arms.
Rion hides behind me because of its power.
"Parents, long time no see. I need you to talk to me for a second."
"What's up with the label?
"This kid says he's a lion, but he's a swordsman. Why don't you check on Lion for weapons and protective gear?
"Lyon, my parents are the weapons maker I trust. So don't worry, we'll talk about it."
When I introduced Lyon, my parents approached Lyon and looked over at him.
"So, lady, what kind of gear do you want?
"Er... sword. I've been using it for a long time and it's hurting me."
"Ma'am, can I have your arm out for a second?
I spoke to Lion, who was a little frightened, saying I was okay.
When Lion offered his arm, his parents were measuring the thickness of Lion's arm by holding his own hand.
"Miss, can I see the sword you're using now?
"Yeah."
Lion offered his sword to his parents.
My parents were measuring the length and balance of the sword.
"How's the length of the sword? Should it be longer than this sword? Should it be shorter? Tell me that."
"You'd better be a little longer"
"Got it. Wait a minute."
Once he hid himself in the back of the store, a few minutes later, he had a sword in his hand.
"How about this sword? Probably suits your little girl."
Rion swinging barely with a hand-worn sword.
Lyon's expression had turned into a convincing expression.
"Yeah. I like this sword. I want to buy it!!
"You liked it, that's good. If you're going to buy me... right. I'll keep it cheap because it's a label introduction. Actually, one gold coin, but how about fifteen silver coins in particular?
If you could put one gold coin in fifteen silver coins, Lion would have earned five silver coins.
"Thank you. Let me buy it."
"Lion, looks like you've decided on a weapon. Then let me give you some protective equipment. Dad, is there a gauntlet that even girls like Lyon can handle?
"Whoa. I have just the right one. It's a product that was too small for the guys to sell, so it's perfect for the lady. How about five silver coins?
"Alright. Give me that!!
"Mr. Label. I'll buy my own protective gear."
"Lion should be able to attack a C-level dungeon and name a C-level adventurer if it's true, but no one will admit it because he can't sell the dungeon core. This is my apology. Why don't you just take it because you think you're gonna help me?
"I don't give a shit about that, but thank you. Because I will use it with care."
"Keep it up, please"
"Yeah. I got it."
We laughed at each other.
I will continue to take care of Lion.
Diving into a dungeon poses a great danger.
Although it is a piece of protective equipment, it is a cheap purchase if her life can be saved with this protective equipment.
I wanted to give Lion all the support I could.
And when we attacked the C-level dungeon, we were supposed to go for the B-level dungeon as the next step, but there was something missing to go for the B-level dungeon.
That's not a rare healing item or a powerful weapon or gear.
(Just the two of us. No matter how hard you try, a B-grade dungeon is impossible. We need to find a new companion somehow...)
The demons that appear in the Class B dungeon naturally attack with multiple on top of being many times stronger than the Class C.
It's too much burden to let Lion handle it alone.
Turning my gaze to Lion walking next door, I was thinking about how to overcome this challenge.
Because it's a situation where all the adventurers in this city don't work with me.
