Chapter 27

After listening to Chisaki's lecture and feeling utterly drained, Seiki entrusted the dead monster's body to Akane.

"Since we don't know which parts can be used, I'll ask you to take it apart."

"Sure, but I'll charge you, okay?"

"Alright."

He had anticipated the cost.

Seiki nodded.

It would be a waste to try to save money on the dissection and end up damaging the valuable parts.

Even if they were enemies of humanity, once a life was taken, it should be used with as much care as the life that was taken.

Of course, Seiki did not intend to just watch the dissection.

He would stand by Akane and learn the dissection techniques for the wolf, so that he could do it himself if he encountered another anthropomorphic monster in the future.

From the werewolf, he obtained the fangs and the fur.

The fangs, when forged, could be made into a weapon stronger than the black dagger he had first bought from Akane. So, Seiki ordered one of the two fangs to be made into a dagger.

The other fang was sold.

The fur was to be made into a robe for Kuren.

However, Kuren probably couldn't equip the werewolf fur yet.

Seiki also thought that he probably couldn't equip the werewolf dagger yet.

He needed to focus more on leveling up until the custom-made items were completed.

"Thank you for the order! Hehe! Now my shop will be safe and sound!"

The werewolf dagger was priced at 1,000,000 yen at the store in Sapporo. But this time, since the materials were already available, only the processing fee was charged, which was 400,000 yen.

The robe for Kuren cost 300,000 yen.

Seiki paid the total order fee upfront.

As a result, his wallet became much lighter.

"Oh, poor Seiki. How much money do you have left? Tell me, how much? Hehe! Well, work hard to earn more money. Otherwise, my shop's goods won't sell! Ahahaha!"

Seiki's veins bulged in frustration.

Fine, then it's war.

Seiki quickly moved towards the dungeon where the barricades had been repaired.

An hour later.

"Seiki, you can't be serious! No, tell me it's not true! What is this? How many materials are there?! Ahahaha! Seiki, you're taking my money!"

Akane cried out loudly, tears streaming down her face.

"That's a bit harsh. I didn't take it. I just sold the materials."

What he had given to Akane were the materials from the silver wolves, black raccoons, and geckos he had defeated during the stampede. He had quickly dissected the bodies that hadn't been absorbed by the dungeon and brought them to the store, where he slapped Akane's face.

The custom-made processing fee was 700,000 yen.

The selling price of the large amount of materials Seiki brought in was about 1,350,000 yen.

Furthermore—

"No, no, that's not allowed! No way!"

"Su... I watched 'Become an Adventurer'!!"

"No way!!"

The buyback appraisal increased by 5%!

The total was 1,417,500 yen.

"Double the payback!"

"Ahahaha!"

This is what happens when you start a war without thinking.

If you're going to start a war, you should do it in a situation where you can't lose.

"Besides, even if you buy the materials, you'll process and sell them, right? It shouldn't be a loss for your shop, right?"

If it were a loss, the buyback shop wouldn't be able to operate.

Advertising in 'Become an Adventurer' to increase the number of buybacks would also be pointless.

"Look, I'm a beautiful woman, right?"

"Can I hit you?"

"Violence is bad!"

Akane quickly covered her head.

If you're going to say things that raise my hate, don't be scared.

"I had a fight with the branch manager of the buyback shop before I came here, and I lost some of my connections for selling materials."

"You brought this on yourself."

"Ugh..."

So, she had a falling out with the branch manager of the buyback shop in Sapporo.

However, both the buyback shop and the sales shop were subsidiaries of the same large company. It was a despicable situation for a company to cut off sales routes as a form of harassment.

...No, this is probably her.

The branch manager must have been extremely annoyed by Akane's attitude.

"Good luck, branch manager."

"Please help me!"

"You're supposed to be a capable person. Figure it out yourself."

"Boo!"

She pouted like a child.

By the way, the monsters defeated by the police and fire department were in such poor condition that their materials couldn't be sold.

The black raccoons were not processed at all, so their meat couldn't be eaten.

The self-defense team, which had repaired the barricades, continued to transport the dead monsters into the dungeon even after Seiki and Akane's war ended.

They carried the bodies without minding the monster blood, and Seiki was filled with admiration for their silent, hard work.

Post-war cleanup is really tough...

[The Path to Being Noticed]

'After the Stampede'

Hi, it's Seiki (^o^)

Today, stampedes occurred in various places.

A stampede also happened in my town.

Yes, right in front of my house!ヽ(´Д`；)ノHahaha

But I managed to repel the monsters using the magic tool that had become useless, which I found the other day!

In the middle of all that, I even encountered a werewolf! (T_T)

The boss of the stampede!

It was scary!

Super scary!

But I managed to defeat it! (^_^)v

Many people must have suffered during this stampede.

I wish I could go back to yesterday so much.

Are you hugging your knees in deep sorrow?

Are you crying?

Are you suffering?

If you are, I'm sorry.

It's because of our, the adventurers', lack of strength.

The surviving adventurers will prepare for the next time by building up their strength.

Of course, I will become stronger too.

Next time, I will definitely make sure there are no casualties.

To connect today to the future.

So that those who are hugging their knees, crying, and suffering can eventually raise their heads and breathe in the air deeply.

To protect that future...

[Full Effort] Stampede Reflection Meeting Venue 13 [Prostration]

984 Name: The Best Prostration

The fact that a boss can be defeated to stop a stampede should definitely be used next time.

985 Name: The Best Prostration

But how do you do it?

It's tough to do a special attack in the dungeon, right?

986 Name: The Best Prostration

We can think about it step by step.

Maybe use grenades, even though they're expensive.

987 Name: The Best Prostration

As long as the dungeon doesn't get angry.

If it's seen as an attack on the dungeon and the monsters get stronger, it would be a disaster.

988 Name: The Best Prostration

That might be true.

But what can we do?

If we just wait outside, the damage will spread.

989 Name: The Best Prostration

Sorry for the pig slaughter.

I have a question, is that okay?

990 Name: The Best Prostration

Sure, what is it?

991 Name: The Best Prostration

There was someone who struggled against geckos just last month.

Do you think they could defeat a werewolf?

992 Name: The Best Prostration

It's possible in a dream!

Yes, in a dream.

993 Name: The Best Prostration

No, this isn't a dream.

I read it in a blog post.

I thought it was a lie.

994 Name: The Best Prostration

If it's a lie, just report it.

Or is it taking advantage of the stampede? That's disgusting.

If it's just a braggart, ignore them.

995 Name: The Best Prostration

But this guy cleared the special attack, defeated the boss, and reached the goal.

I thought it might be useful as a reference.

996 Name: The Best Prostration

Well, to be serious,

If someone struggles with geckos, they're probably a beginner.

It might take a year to defeat a werewolf.

If they spend about 10 hours a day in the dungeon, it might take half a year.

If they can monopolize the hunting ground, it might be even shorter.

But these are tricky monsters with different combat styles for each individual.

It's hard to say about the win rate.

But to be honest,

Don't take it as a reference.

If it's true, that's inhuman.

997 If you want to be thorough, a one-year training period is better.

Hmm,

It's probably a lie.

It's impossible, right?

998 Name: The Best Prostration

If you think about it calmly, it's impossible.

I feel embarrassed for getting excited about it (Shudder).

999 Name: The Best Prostration

Sorry,

What happened in Shinjuku?

1000 Name: The Best Prostration

>>999

Read everything properly.

Shinjuku was completely destroyed.

1001 Name: The Best Prostration
