Chapter 119
What was facing in front of me was an old man .
The elderly man was another times smaller than the 130cm Emily . However, it doesn’t look strange at all, the image he gave was similar to those of a dwarf tribe .
It was the same with Aurum where the old man was sitting like a buddhist statue, right in the middle of the empty space .
[Hou, how many hundreds of years has it been since a human has set foot to this territory . ] (Old man)
[So you’re Arsenic?] (Ryouta)
[Indeed, I am . If you have already know of thy name, the people from above must have recorded us down to their history?] (Arsenic)
I wanted to tell the old man=the owner of this dungeon that I knew of his name because of Aurum, but I decided to hold down onto my words .
I had something much more important at hand .
[Are you going to die?] (Ryouta)
[That’s right . If I were to convert it to human years… . I would live for another month or so . ] (Arsenic)
[How can I stop it . ] (Ryouta)
[It’s impossible for a mere human . ] (Arsenic)
[Enough of that, just tell me how to stop you from dying . ] (Ryouta)
When I approached him strongly, Arsenic was surprised and stared at me .
He stared into my eyes, as if trying to peek into my true intention .
I allowed him to look at me for a while, and afterwards he answered me with a calm voice .
[I see, well it is as if I would lose anything in return of teaching thou . Very well, thy very lifespan would require the Fruit Of Life to survive longer . ] (Arsenic)
[The fruit of life?] (Ryouta)
[You don’t know about it? That’s impossible, this very fruit, no human being could obtain it at all . If you are an ordinary person, even just touching it would increase your vitality . It is a legendary-class item which increases your life force . ] (Arsenic)
[Just by touching it……you could increase your vitality……?] (Ryouta)
[Well, mere humans———–] (Arsenic)
[Wait just a sec . ] (Ryouta)
I went back from whence I came and went back up the floor .
I ran up all 30 staircase all the way to the top floor, whilst experiencing the raining blood and finally reached to where my teammates were .
[Yoda-san!] (Emily)
[How was it Ryouta?] (Alice)
[I’m sorry, I don’t have the time to explain right now . Alice, can you help search for me where the next Absolute Rock would be, so I need you to come with me again . ] (Ryouta)
[I got it, leave it to me!] (Alice)
Alice instantly nodded, and held her fist with high spirit .
I started running .
I left them behind and rushed towards a dungeon .
After rushing out from Arsenic, I crossed over Shikuro’s streets and arrived at Nihonium .
Nihonium, the basement first floor .
The ever unchanging dungeon with zero adventurers and a paradise of skeletons roaming around .
[Place my pouch here——and Repetition!] (Ryouta)
After equipping an item, I used my repeating magic and blasted my way through the first floor .
Running through the familiar first floor, I filled up my pouch with HP Seeds .
An item that would increase vitality the moment you touch it, no human being could ever obtain such an item .
Probably… . . he was talking about this .
Carrying the pouch I exited the dungeon and in a breath ran straight back to Arsenic .
Basement 30th floor, Celeste was waiting there for me .
[Ryouta-san, it’s over here!] (Celeste)
Celeste who was patiently waiting for me pointed at a direction .
After turning a few corners, there was an Absolute Rock being surrounded by Emily and the others .
[Thanks everyone . ] (Ryouta)
After saying that, the girls smiled and distanced themselves from the Absolute Rock that they were keeping watched .
I held my hand up, and used Repetition—–but poof, nothing happened .
Guess I have not enough MP to activate it .
I took out my gun, loaded the Infinite Recovery Bullet and injected the bullet onto myself .
After recovering my MP to max, I finally fired Repetition .
As expected from the last floor’s rare monster, just by firing one Repetition, it drained of almost all of my MP .
Though, the stairs did appear .
The first time when I fought it, it took me a long time to defeat it, but because I’ve defeated it once, Repetition could instantly kill it .
[Yoda-san is amazing as always desu . ] (Emily)
[The only ones that could do this in this world would probably only be Ryouta-san . ] (Celeste)
[Low level, brazen . ] (Eve)
[Can Eve-chan not say that sort of words while your face is red . ] (Alice)
(NSFW Below) VN of Majikoi?
[Eh? Don’t tell me Eve—–] (Celeste)
While my teammates from a distance was having fun, I was through it for a moment .
After checking the contents inside the pouch, and I went down the stairs .
The Absolute Rock Type-Golem was there .
This monster was also annoying to deal with, but using the same method as just now, I fired myself with the Infinite Recovery Bullet and fired the Repetition spell at it, instantly killing it(exploding it) .
Then, Arsenic returned again .
[Hey——] (Ryouta)
Arsenic had his eyes opened wide in shocked .
[You’ve came back again… . . ? The chances of a human coming back a second time is not even a million to one . What did Sir do——] (Arsenic)
[Enough of that stuff . What’s more important is, is the Fruit of life this?] (Ryouta)
[Eh?] (Arsenic)
I opened the pouch and showed Arsenic the contents .
At first he was doubtful, but as he looked at it his expression gradually changed .
[it’s the Fruit of Life! What’s more such a large quantity of it!?] (Arsenic)
[So it was this that you were referring to . ] (Ryouta)
[My lord… . . how did you… . . ?] (Arsenic)
[Don’t mind the minor details, just eat them right now . Oh yeah I’ve forgotten to ask how many you need, is this not enough? If it’s not enough I could get more . ] (Ryouta)
[A, aaaaah……it’s enough… . ] (Arsenic)
Arsenic had an expression of a fox .
Though he had an expression of not knowing what’s going on, but he was interested in the HP seeds—–no the Fruit of Life and gulped .
He took one from the pouch——All this while nobody managed to pick it up except for me, this old man just took it naturally and put it into his mouth .
He chewed it, and swallowed .
And the old man’s body started emitting light .
[… . . Life . ] (Arsenic)
[Life?] (Ryouta)
[I’ve revived……… . . ] (Arsenic)
He dragged the last words for a long duration .
It sounded like a gas that had been held for too long was forcibly opened .
[Delish… . . Del~ish~… . . THIS IS DELICIOUS!] (Arsenic)
[Old man, your character seems to switch . ] (Ryouta)
[It can’t be help okay! It’s been over a thousand years since I ate something this deliciousssssss!!!] (Arsenic)
Is that so, wait so he hasn’t been eating or drinking anything for the past thousand years, it looked like he could even eat a thousand person worth of portion?
……No, if he doesn’t eat he might really die .
Arsenic was putting the seeds into his mouth one after the other while munching on it .
The more he ate the more his body shone, I guess his vitality=HP is increasing .
……
[Old man, wait just for a moment again . ] (Ryouta)
After finishing my sentence,I left the old man who was chewing the seed, and went up again .
☆
Carrying a basket, I once again met up with Arsenic at the middle of the empty space .
Inside the basket was a mountain of seeds and the excited old man was looking at it while gulping and holding onto his saliva .
[Oh young one, you came again . ] (Arsenic)
The old man with a face smiling so widely greeted me .
[You’ve really safe this old man, young one . Seems like this old man is going to live even longer than expected . ] (Arsenic)
[Seems like it . As the raining blood has stopped . ] (Ryouta)
[Umu . I have another 200 years left to live . ] (Arsenic)
[That long huh . ] (Ryouta)
The amount just now wasn’t that much, I just went around Nihonium once and came back .
If an amount that increases your status rank by 1, it’s about 1/10 of that amount .
Even so he can live up to 200 years .
[I have to thank ya lad . ] (Arsenic)
[Thanks for the gratitude, but what should we do about this?] (Ryouta)
[About what?] (Arsenic)
[This . ] (Ryouta)
I took the basket and showed it to the old man .
I opened the lid and showed the contents to him .
Inside it was the various types of cookings made by Emily .
When I left this old man and went out I asked Emily to cook some dishes for me .
The moment I opened the lid, the aroma spread throughout the empty space, making it warm and comforting .
Emily’s cooking, a God-like existence that could instantly warm and calm down any mood .
I brought it along to give it to the not human old man .
There were different types of rice balls and sandwiches, and a bite sized hamburger . Basically food that were easy to eat . Emily really put a lot of thought into it .
The old man that ate it was tearing up .
[Delicious…… . . This is freaking deliciousssssaaaaa………… . . ] (Arsenic)
His reaction was over the board, but I could understand some of that reaction, as his face showed that he really enjoyed and was really happy .
An old man that was trapped here and could not eat anything, a strong spirit .
From now on, I thought that I would bring some dishes over .
Then .
The unprecedented news about the Ryouta Family saving Arsenic from death was spread throughout town .
Along with the option of having the double lunar moon(doubling monsters), it quickly spread among the adventurers .
