Not using the Transportation Room today, I went out to town and headed for Teruru.

Recently, I have more time for myself, and conversely, the number of days I did not use the Transportation Room has gradually increased.

There was never a time I could do that at least once as an office worker. I"ve only heard of legends from my pops.

My old man always had time to return home.

As for me, I"ve been working OT since the start of my salary worker life.

When he returned home in a certain New Year, he said this to me.

"It"s because I return home on a different road every day."

It"s what he said.

It"s a completely different idea from adventurers in this world.

Adventurers are thinking about how to make a routine in a dungeon efficiently.

But my old man is different.

Seems like he"s feeling fresh every day by returning home on a different road every day.

I myself couldn"t understand why during the slaughter age.

Right now, I might or might not understand it just yet.

Thus, it"s better to understand what I didn"t know after coming to this world.

Thus, I made sure to go to Teruru on a different route.

"…..Aaah, maybe I should"ve done this sooner." (Ryouta)

Thinking about it, it might"ve been my first time seeing Teruru slowly turning into daytime.

Before purchasing the mansion, I was busy every day. Either going to the tavern at night, or go to the Dungeon a.s.sociation in the daytime.

Thus, I"ve hardly seen the city during the day.

This felt fresh.

The city that I"m so used to felt different.

If I knew such a thing earlier—-

"Move it move it." 

"Give way to us!"

The liveliness of the city was suddenly overwritten by these voices.

Two men were carrying someone in a stretcher.

You can see blood still dripping from the stretcher, and the person is quite seriously injured.

"We have an injured person! The road——"

"What happened to them?"

Noticing the situation, I ran alongside the stretcher.

Then, I looked at the injured person being transported.

It was a young woman wearing a shrine maiden outfit that is thin and her face looked pale.

"She was seriously injured in the dungeon, please give way to a Healer." 

"A dungeon huh."

Looking at her again, it"s definitely an injury from a monster attack.

"Mommy, that Onee-chan is injured." 

"That"s right. Onee-chan is taking a risk to help send us food. So we must never be choosy with food okay."

"Even peppers?"

"If you leave peppers, Onee-chan will be sad."

"Uun….I got it."

One of the pa.s.serby"s mother was educating her child.

I pulled out my revolver while running side by side.

"What are you."

"If it"s a huge injury, I can help to some extent." (Ryouta)

"Seriously——"

"Stop it, that"s Ryouta Satou."

"Eh? That Ryouta Satou!?"

Being told by his buddy carrying the stretcher who I was, the person who tried to stop me was surprised and stopped.

They stopped moving, and I fired the Infinite Recovery Bullet at the woman.

The severe injuries required two rounds of bullets.

"Eh……."

The woman wakes up and the men slowly drop the stretcher to the ground.

"Amazing, she recovered in an instant."

"That"s a given, it"s that Ryouta Satou."

I asked the woman as they placed the stretcher down.

"Are you alright? Are you still hurt?" (Ryouta)

"No, but…..why?" 

"I just pa.s.sed by that"s all. Glad that you"re safe." (Ryouta)

It"s a common story of adventurers being injured in a dungeon.

Nothing more, nothing less.

"Well then." (Ryouta)

"Aah, thank you!"

I smiled at the Miko who thanked me, and left her while heading for Teruru as planned.

Indeed, it may be good to go to work on a different route sometimes.

In the salon at night.

My friends are coming home one after another.

"Yodsan, you have a customer nanodesu." (Emily)

"Is it Cell?" (Ryouta)

I asked Emily who entered the salon.

I thought that something must"ve happened again.

"No, it"s my first time seeing this customer nanodesu." (Emily)

"First time?" (Ryouta)

"It"s a woman nanodesu." (Emily)

Gata.

A noise came from a distance, and when I turned around, Celeste and Elza who were chatting fell from their chairs at the same time.

"W-Wow, are you both alright?" (Ryouta)

"E-Eh, Eeeeh, yes I"m fine." (Celeste)

"Yes, we"re fine." (Elza)

"I see, please be careful next time." (Ryouta)

After speaking to them, I got up and turned to Emily.

"Since everyone"s here, I"ll meet with her at the reception." (Ryouta)

"I"ve already asked her to wait there desu." (Emily)

"As expected." (Ryouta)

I left the salon and headed to the reception.

Walking down the corridor, I felt someone behind me along the way, stopped and turned around.

Suddenly, two people were seen retreating beyond the corner.

It was the faces of my friends, Celeste and Elza.

"What happened to both of you? Do you know the person who"s coming?" (Ryouta)

I asked, thinking that might be the possibility.

It wasn"t once or twice that some form of incident came from my friends.

However, Celeste and Elza just answered "It"s here huh….." in the least shocked expression of their life.

"Ny-Nyaa…."

"Huh?" (Ryouta)

"Ko-ko-kokekokko."

"No no no no no." (Ryouta)

I heard their imitations from beyond the corner.

It"s like a development of a four-panel comic or something.

I was curious, but I decided to give up and just went to the reception instead.

"I"m sorry for——Wow?" (Ryouta)

When I entered, I was surprised at what I saw.

Black hair, black eyes, and thin shrine maiden clothes.

"You, you"re from this morning……." (Ryouta)

"My name is Sakuya. Thank you for the help this morning." (Sakuya)

"Ah, no worries." (Ryouta)

I nodded and sat opposite of Sakuya.

"Is your body okay?" (Ryouta)

"Yes, I"m completely fine. In fact, I felt better than usual." (Sakuya)

"I see. Based on your name and appearance, are you from the east?" (Ryouta)

It"s the east country that I"ve heard several times in conversation.

Sometimes they talk about sorcerers coming from that country.

Sakuya nodded immediately when she heard my question.

"Yes, that"s right. My full name is Sakuya Konoe." (Sakuya)

"That"s pretty bombastic." (Ryouta)

"Eh?" (Sakuya)

"Ah no, just mumbling on my own. Rather Sakuya……..I"ve heard of your name somewhere." (Ryouta)

Of course I"m not talking about this world.

"Hey Celeste, you know anything about what I"m saying?" (Ryouta)

Listening from behind the door, another Gata! Noise was heard.

Did she fall from behind the door again?

Then, I heard a cough from behind the door, and an answer was heard with the door closed.

"Sakuya Konoe is a celebrity who is one of the ten in Shikuro, also known as Sulphur Queen." (Celeste)

"Sulphur, that sulphur?" (Ryouta)

Turning to Sakuya, she nodded slightly.

Sulphur Dungeon, no matter how many people enter, you"ll be forced to take on it solo, and start over from Level 1 every time you enter.

Your level only returns after you leave.

Nevertheless, the dangerous part is starting over from level 1.

"DId you meet with the spirit of Sulphur?" (Ryouta)

"Yes. I just earn more in Sulphur than everyone, that"s all." (Sakuya)

"So that"s it." (Ryouta)

"Sulphur is…..a good person." (Sakuya)

Sakuya was a little depressed while saying that.

"What happened?" (Ryouta)

"Please look at this." (Sakuya)

Sakuya said, and placed two sheets of paper on the table before me.

Level：６６／６６

Power　　Ｅ

Stamina　Ｅ

Intelligence　Ｆ

Mental　Ｆ

Speed　Ｆ

Dexterity　Ｅ

Luck　　Ｆ

Level：６６／６６

Strength　　Ｂ

Stamina　Ｆ

Intelligence　Ｆ

Mental　Ｆ

Speed　Ａ

Dexterity　Ｂ

Luck　　Ｆ

These are two different statuses.

The only common point is the levels.

"And this is…….?" (Ryouta)

I didn"t understand the meaning.

"This low stats is mine." (Sakuya)

"Fumu." (ryouta)

"And this is mine when I"m in Sulphur sometimes." (Sakuya)

"……No way." (Ryouta)

I compared both.

Two different statues, but the same level.

A knock came, and Emily entered.

"Emily……" (Ryouta)

"Yes desu?" (Emily)

Right, it"s Emily.

It"s the opposite of Emily.

"When you leveled, all your stats didn"t go high…." (Ryouta)

Sakuya nodded with a sadden face.

Sulphur Queen, it"s surely a name which will disappoint people who want to meet with the "real person".

Thus, she stayed in Sulphur until she was seriously injured.

Sakuya jumped off the sofa and dogeza.
