Chapter 202
[Yoda-san, you have a guest nanodesu . ] (Emily)
It’s evening, after finishing work, I picked Aurum from her dungeon and Emily who was waiting in front of the Teleportation Room to tell me .
[A guest? Don’t tell me something has happened again?] (Ryouta)
[I think it’s probably fine nanodesu . ] (Emily)
[Hm? To say it with such confidence . Have you spoke with our guest already?] (Ryouta)
[Once you see it then you’ll know desu~] (Emily)
Emily smiled brightly like the sun as she answered .
I’ll know once I see… . . Well either way I still have to see them .
[Where’s the person?] (Ryouta)
[The person is waiting at the living room . ] (Emily)
[I got it . ] (Ryouta)
[Sounds like a rather interesting conversation, I too shall—–] (Aurum)
[Aurum-chan will come with me nanodesu . ] (Emily)
[Eh? Wai-t, don’t pull my collar—–] (Aurum)
Aurum who just arrived was pulled away by Emily .
The existence of a Dungeon Spirit is kinda a big deal, but Emily dragged her away like it was nothing .
Dragging Aurum and pushing her into her room, and before she closed the door behind her, she looked at me and winked at me .
What…… . ?
While thinking about what that meant, I went towards the living room .
It was a nostalgic face when I saw the person .
[Margaret . Long time no see . ] (Ryouta)
[It’s been awhile . ] (Margaret)
[What brings you here today?… . . Wait, no matter how I look at it, are you wearing a dress now? Did you just come back from some party?] (Ryouta)
Margaret didn’t look like her usual Princess appearance, but was wearing a pure dress .
[That’s not it . I have come to invite you . ] (Margaret)
[Invite?] (Ryouta)
[Yes, p, ple…… . ] (Margaret)
Margaret was stuttering, so she took a deep breath and resolve herself .
[Please go out on a date with me . ] (Margaret)
☆
Inside the carriage, Margaret and I were sitting facing each other .
It felt like the air around her has changed since the first time I’ve met her .
Is it because of what she’s wearing, or because of the atmosphere .
Looking outside the window of the carriage, I was looking at the city of Shikuro at dusk while facing such a woman .
[May I ask where are we going?] (Ryouta)
[You will enjoy yourself once you reach there . ] (Margaret)
[I see . So, is this your average date?] (Ryouta)
[Yes, this is a genuine date . ] (Margaret)
Margaret’s cheeks blushed, as she smiled and said .
[I have heard of all the rumours about you . But it’s not like that . Today, I just wanted to have a date with you . ] (Margaret)
[I see, well it is an honour to be going on a date with that Princess Margaret . ](Ryouta)
[Eh?] (Margaret)
[I have also heard of rumours about the success of Margaret . Having great success as an adventurer, and recently the prices of your air have climbed up to that of the price of an eel . ] (Ryouta)
[Ahh… . . ] (Margaret)
Margaret looked extremely happy, and her cheeks deepen with red .
Margaret’s air box .
It has been awhile since I mentioned that, as the box that I sold to her works as whoever deals the finishing blow would have their face imprinted into the box .
Even from before, her air was already selling like hotcakes, but recently it was much more crazy .
And her customers aren’t all guys . There were some girls .
It wasn’t just air, but she even sold some fabulous perfume, was is used as an aroma .
So when I say that I know of it… . Margaret was happy to have those news reached to me .
[Hm? What is that over there . ] (Ryouta)
A shop peaked my interest as I looked outside of the carriage .
[Which shop?] (Margaret)
[There, the shop over there . ] (Ryouta)
[That is a Water Stand . ] (Margaret)
[A water stand?] (Ryouta)
[Yes, and as the name suggests, it’s a store that sells water . ] (Margaret)
[I didn’t there was such a thing . ] (Ryouta)
[……Fufu, it’s a recent thing . So it’s normal that you don’t know about it . ] (Margaret)
[What do you mean by that?] (Ryouta)
As I asked, Margaret smiled lovingly .
[Rat . ] (Margaret)
[Yes . ] (Rat)
[Wow!] (Ryouta)
I was incredibly surprised, to the point that the carriage shook .
Where the hell did he come from, as the moment Margaret called, one of the 4 knights would appear .
I wonder if he was running in parallel from outside the carriage .
[Wh, where did you appear from?] (Ryouta)
[We are always loyal to the Princess, so whenever and wherever she calls for us, we will always be on standby . ] (Rat)
[Is it fine with you to have them constantly be near you, Margaret?] (Ryouta)
[? ? ?] Margaret was confused as she tilts her head .
Wait, you know you do have your own privacy… . . but I feel like she really won’t get what I mean so it’s better if I don’t ask .
Margaret did not understand what I was trying to say, but Rat who was called knows .
[For the sake of the Princess, we have gone through special training . So the moment we hear the Princess’s voice, we will only show what the Princess wants to see . ] (Rat)
[Now that’s downright creepy!] (Ryouta)
I mean it’s amazing in its own way, but scary at the same time .
Is that even loyalty at this point? It’s more like an occult .
I know that the knights were already amazing when I first met them, but right now I feel that they’re on a whole new level .
[Anyways Rat, explain . ] (Margaret)
[Yes . Water stand, it is a recently opened business . If my sources are correct, the reason why it exists is dues to Satou-sama . ] (Rat)
[Eh?] (Ryouta)
It’s because of me? Why?
[As Satou-sama would take on various requests, the bad influences of Shikuro has slowly diminished, so the amount of production has gradually been raising . ] (Rat)
[I mean rather than me… . . isn’t that a good thing for Shikuro?] (Ryouta)
[Shikuro is an agricultural city, and the vegetation has increased in volume . However on the other hand, water supply is chronically falling short . ] (Rat)
[……Eh?] (Ryouta)
[If the amount of production has increased in a dungeon, then it means that the amount of times the drops missed has fallen, so water has been getting less . ] (Rat)
[……Ah . ] (Ryouta)
So that explains it .
I remembered stories heard from Emily shortly after coming to this world .
As common to every dungeon, when the prescribed items are not dropped, water and air is dropped .
In other words, the production of water, air, and vegetables must be proportional to each other .
As I’ve done various things, the amount of production increased and in return tax revenue increased, but the ones that was affected was water .
Rat nodded .
[And that’s why . ] (Margaret)
[I didn’t know about that… . . ] (Ryouta)
[It is truly amazing, and if you were to get involved, I’m sure water would eventually be increased as well . And in a good way . ] (Margaret)
[Well, it’s also a form of business . ] (Ryouta)
With this, there’s a new possibility to earn money for Final F people unlike last time .
If business and work increases, money would circulate around . \
[If you think about it, we’re quite similar . ] (Ryouta)
[Eh?] (Margaret)
[Margaret is air, and I’m water . As we made something that was once worth nothing into something, so our statuses are quite similar . ] (Ryouta)
[…… . . Because I wanted to imitate what you’re doing . ] (Margaret)
[Eh? What did you just say?] (Ryouta)
I could not catch her soft voice just now .
[It’s nothing, I think that the prices of water is much more amazing then compared to the prices of air, is what I said . ] (Margaret)
[Is that really what you said . ] (Ryouta)
Margaret was praising me so much, but it didn’t feel bad .
TLN: Gosh just kiss already
