SEED OF POSSIBILITY

Immediately after Marino-san and Sempai came back, we had dinner. Sempai has now become a person that we would find it odd if she isn’t here with us. After we finished eating, I return to my room and take out all the seeds of possibility.

I didn’t obtain only one seed of possibility.

Depending on the location, you might be able to obtain only one of them. However, for the places that have heightened difficulty for the second run player, you might be able to obtain more.

The solo capture that was recommended for the second run players in the Academy Dungeon is a place that you can definitely obtain multiple seeds of possibility.

The amount I obtained was five seeds which are enough for a single party.

Of course, I will keep one for myself. However, what should I do with the other four?

I can get a lot of items by converting it into Tsukuyomi points and depending on the situation, that is also a good option.

But is that really okay?

“……Alright.”

I decided what to do and act immediately.

————–

“Is this a nightly visit? Please wait a moment.”

That was what Nanami said immediately after I entered her room……..I was thinking about having a serious talk though.

“That’s the first thing that came to your mind? It’s not like that alright.”

I sit down on the sofa that Nanami urged me to and start talking.

“I talked with you about the thing I was aiming for before right?”

“Come to think of it, you wanted to become a comedian correct?”

“That’s a nostalgic joke.”

“Yes, our duo name was decided to be [Nanami Syndrome] was it?”

“That didn’t happen and that name would make the fan become infected too so stop it.”

If you used the kanji for warrior then the whole town might be filled with zombies after all. But if everyone likes it then it might become interesting too.

“Then patient zero will be Goshujin-sama!!”

“I’m your partner so…..well, I would become the first person to get infected huh.”

“Then that will become my Fanclub, the NNN (Nanami, Nante, Nanamin TLN: Nanami is so Nanamin.) …..Goshujin-sama alone as the member is enough so I can just shut down the application immediately after.”

“A Fanclub is a group of people though…if it’s like that then ain’t I just a fan?”

“You don’t have to worry about the small details. Ah, I will issue a member card for you later.”

“Ye—ah, I did it. I am in the single-digit member!!”

Somehow, the conversation was super derailed…….

“Nanami, can I get to the main point now?”

“Can’t be helped then, please.”

“I wonder who’s the master here. Well, first, look at this.”

I said that and took out the seeds.

One, two, three, four, five. I show her the five golden seeds I obtained from the dungeon. Seeing that, Nanami took a small breath.

Then her carefree expression earlier changed into a serious one.

“….the reason you stubbornly trying to capture the fortieth floor within a week alone was.”

“Yeah, it was for this.”

As expected of a Maid Knight that was intended to serve the dungeon masters.

Once she saw the seeds, it seems like she was able to understand something immediately. She just guessed the obtain method after all. Well, the one week period was unrelated but it should be fine if I don’t correct her.

“You have obtained something truly powerful. Just how much DP this would…… This is not something that a simple dungeon master can obtain you know?”

“Really?”

“Yes. To think that you obtained something like this. As expected of Goshujin-sama. However,….can you do a seiza over there please.”

Saying so, Nanami gives me a wide smile and point to the floor with her finger.

I look at the floor and turn back to look at Nanami again.

Nanami withdraws her hand and points at the floor with a smile again.

“Wh, Why?”

“Please just do it Goshujin-sama.”

Nanami seems a little angry so I perform the seiza right away.

“Goshujin-sama. I think you know this already but these seeds are quite a rare item. They are rare enough that could make me surprised.”

“Ye, Yes.”

“Inferring to the fact that you solo the dungeon up to the fortieth floor, you surely know about the acquisition method of this item, correct? I am very curious as to how you knew of such a method but I will not dig further. However.”

“However?”

“The reason you did such a reckless thing. I cannot overlook that.”

Nanami is supposed to be smiling but that is clearly not a smile. No, there are some parts that look like a smile but I can feel her anger exuding from all over her body.

“I, I’m not reckless. It, it wasn’t that hard anyway.”

Now I know why she has me performing seiza. No matter how I gloss this over, there would be no meaning.

“For example, where do you think the bank store their precious money?”

“W, well, that would be in a safe and secure box right?”

“Dungeon is also operating with the same logic. To increase the value of a dungeon, they would put the [seed of possibility] inside. But the dungeon master’s side wouldn’t want to lose such a precious item as well. Then how would he place it in his dungeon?”

So there’s something like a dungeon’s value…. Well, never poke the sleeping bear huh. I don’t want to hear something that would get me involved in something troublesome anyway. Let’s give up on asking.

“Um, Umm you would strengthen the security right?”

“That’s right. I have studied a little about the Academy dungeon. To be honest, I thought the first thirty floors will be just right for Goshujin-sama and the floors after that will be a little harsh for you. But…..”

“But?”

“At the same time, I thought about the specific way you capture the dungeon.”

Nanami stares at me.

“There’s no way it would be so easy.”

It is as Nanami said. Although I defeated him while under that mysterious trance and exploiting his weakness, Icarus was not someone that should appear on that floor. I made use of fire to defeat him but originally it wouldn’t be weird if he appears on the seventieth or eightieth floor.

“Do you understand? It is unthinkable you know, that item is not something that you can obtain without doing something unthinkable. If I am correct then there must have been a high-level maze floor, Traps floor or a floor with high-level boss correct? There absolutely must be something like that.

“……”

Her description was too accurate, I don’t know what to say.

“Why didn’t you come back? Goshujin-sama only has one body you know, please take more care of yourself…..if you have to go no matter what then at least please take me along…..I beg you.”

“I will have safety in mind and bring everyone with me from now on……”

“I am seriously begging you…..seriously, if you die you will create a widowed maid you know. Please understand that.”

I think it would be fine if she becomes another person’s maid but I stopped myself from saying that. I feel like that is something I absolutely must not say. Seeing me turned silent, Nanami sits down on the sofa and lower her head.

“Well, Umm, If you understand that already then I will forgive you. And I am truly sorry. I said too much…..I know that I had offended you. If you have some kind of punishment then I will bear anything.”

Seeing Nanami like that, I make a bitter smile.

“….Why do I have to punish you when you were just worrying about me?”

“Even like this, I am still a lowly maid knight. Originally, I wouldn’t be forgiven for doing such a thing you know?”

Well, she did make me seiza after all. Seriously, I don’t mind though.

“Then I will give you my permission…..From now on you can tell me frankly what you think.”

“….Actually, it is a foolish act to running my mouth like that, it wouldn’t be weird for the company to scrap me. Not to mention that is the worst behavior for a maid to do as well”

“Okay, let’s put it like this, I am happy that you were worried about me and said those things. Thank you. From that company perspective, that might be a foolish thing to do but you just said the best thing I could ask for, you are the best maid for me. I haven’t had the chance to meet them yet but if I got a chance to meet the company I will tell them so.”

Hearing my words, she lowered her eyes a little and shyly let out a soft smile.

“Seriously, for Goshujin-sama to increase your points like that. If it’s not me then it might be quite dangerous. That is no doubt a Throbbing Eternal Destiny. Good thing that I just only completely fallen.“

“Then you already fell alright!? Moreover, the points are increasing again…..? Just how many points is it now?”

“Right, it is seventy point two billion points right now.”

“I see seventy point two billion points huh, seventy point two billion points !? Isn’t that ten times over? How did it become like that in such a short time?!”

“Hatsumi-sama increased her points by one billion so I thought that I can’t afford to lose so I increased my point my several tens of billions of points.”

“Eeh….you increased it that much…….”

Nanami puts her hand on her mouth and laughs impishly. Seeing her like that, I begin to laugh as well.
