The Loner Who Conquers the Other World
chapter-211-30041322

Day 58 – Morning, Dungeon, 40F

With their sword and weapons shining and glittering, they clatter their shields and armor, producing that characteristic metallic noise. Even though they are just monkeys. Well, we can’t take them lightly, we have to keep our guard up. I mean, on our side we have idiots who are clearly dumber than monkeys. I’m certain that they’d lose if it came to the battle of wits. Even versus goblins, their chances of winning are dubious.

「Shoot! Three volleys!」

The rain of arrows is getting denser, and with increased impact strength its suppression power also grew. The monkeys are squeaking in panic, but it’s too late. There was a crowd of them, but it wasn’t an army.

Spending less time on observation they now switch attack patterns quicker. Even if arrows prove effective, they give up on the continued ranged attack and proceed to charge the enemy. By swiftly putting an end to the fight they are getting rid of stalling. By the point the monkey became disorganized it was already decided. They were too late to act.

「Hyaaa!」

As everyone now has item bags, they can switch weapons on the fly. and since they can carry weapons around, they have plenty of arms at hand too.

The vanguard center already prepared shields and halberds. Naturally, it goes without saying that I spent the previous evening crafting and ripped them off in the morning. There is no rest for the rich. Every opportunity has to be exploited.

「Hyaa. Sequential assault!」

「「「Roger!」」」

With the vanguard’s full speed charge followed by wavelike assault from the second and the third group they immediately settle the battle. While close combat carries its own risks, since there was no delay in execution, they were able to keep the initiative and immediately carry the fight into the extermination phase. And above all, the battles are short, so we have the momentum from that. Since they gave the enemy no time to think, they are able to hit them with one preemptive move after another, throwing the enemy into disarray before they can take any action.

「Scatter and sweep up the remnants, in groups!」

「「「Roger!」」」

As soon as they clashed with the enemy they forcibly turned the fight into annihilation. A brute force strategy that cares nothing for what the opponents do. It seems decisiveness and discretion came together, assessing the situation with calm discretion and making decisions without fearing a failure. That is the Pres-sama, we don’t need a commander in the rear. After all, this bunch is a combat class led by Pres-sama.

However, while『Armored Monkeys Lv 40』dropped weapons, they are not very good, well, we can’t use them, but they can be sold for a hefty sum. The girls, who went deep in debt yesterday are overjoyed, but they are too naive! They are getting ripped off tonight too, I actually went too hard on mass production, and ended up with a huge stockpile of cheongsams. Even if I don’t count those that Armored Pres-san has already tried, I still have more than 60 dresses. Well, about half of them are mini or lewd versions, but whatever. They might complain, but lewd stuff still sells well. Even though they can’t walk outside wearing that, it always somehow ends up completely sold out. In the end, one-pieces with open shoulders sold out, and those very tight figure-revealing minis sold out too. Cheongsams will sell as well.

While armed, the opponents were still monkeys, they had no comprehensive army-like command, and were destroyed without any planned response. There is an old saying that an army of sheep, led by a lion, is better than an army of lions, led by a sheep, allegedly by a claimer famous for his claim about the lack of the word impossible in the dictionary. In that case, monkeys led by a monkey have no way of beating high school students led by the Pres-sama. Even idiots are not a problem for her, let alone sheep. Even if those idiots are using boomerangs for beating monkeys up, it’s still fine, well, there is probably a lot that is not right with their heads, but it’s still alright. I wish we could trade them for actual sheep though.

「Gather up after you collect all of the magic stones. Haruka-kun, are there any hidden rooms?」

「Nope, nothing again. In the end, there is nothing since 37F. It seems 41F below us doesn’t have one either. There is nothing to rip-off if we won’t profit, so this is a threat to my way of the rich and bulk purchases?」

「Are you buying in bulk again? Do you need another lecture? Why are you trying to buy up the frontier? They are all good people, so it’s alright, but normally, you shouldn’t make credit transactions with strangers.」

That happens to be the biggest mystery. Usually, one wouldn’t loan money to strangers without any guarantees, but investments are about taking risks. That’s why, taking risks into consideration, I’m going around making investment contracts under such a high-interest rate. High enough to break even if at least 30% of investments go well. And yet I get the return on my investments in ten cases out of ten. Even if things don’t go as well as was expected, they still scrape the sum together and come to pay up. And despite being ripped off they keep endlessly thanking me, trying to bring more money than was discussed in the contract. All of them. And since they are hardworking, they work more land than was discussed, operate workshops, and contribute to the local economy. And so when I come with another investment they desperately work and try to return more than was agreed per contract. I don’t get this at all? The region finally has abundance, so surely they should have plenty of things they’d like to have or buy? And that’s why there is no end to this, that’s why the growth sees no end. After all, even their lord is like that.

That’s why we need dungeon items, the more weapons we have to protect this region full of silly softhearted fools, the better. It’s fine even if it gets excessive.

The frontier that repaid beyond the estimated risks, and the people that live there, have the right to receive even more in return. Then let’s take all of the risks that come our way, after all, I received that much to justify that. They showed that much worth to them. Enough to risk my own life for.

「We are leaving, check for forgotten belongings~? Haruka-kun is here, right~? Then, let’s go.」

「「「Yeees.」」」

A departure order was given by Pres-sama, but why are they checking if I’m here every single time? It’s not like I’m dropping into random holes all the time, so of course, I’m here? Well, if I’m not, it means I did fall into a hole, but since I didn’t I’m obviously here. And why do I get this feeling that I’m being treated the same as forgotten belongings? Is it because I don’t stand out and I’m forgettable? Does my character lack impact, so I have to work harder to make an impression? I mean, I’m pretty normal, so there is nothing to impress with? For real?

And now they are sweeping up the 48th floor too. Since there is nothing to do I’m attempting a challenging feat with Armored Pres-san and Slime-san of transition from large-scale『Tokyo Tower』to『Great Pyramid』with 3 people. Naturally, it’s about a cat’s cradle. I tried it too, and it turned out a bit fun? It looks like it was a hidden boom during girls’ meetings. I wish I could’ve seen the president ending up tightly bound after the string got tangled up, but that is a secret. Is she actually a clumsy character? It apparently was a disaster with her getting tied up, untying, then ending up bound again, and then being freed. I really wish I could’ve seen that. Just when I thought she is going to become a mistress-like character, she turns out to be an M girl. She has quite a depth to her character.

「Annihilated. We are having a short break after gathering all of the magic stones.」

「「「Yaaay.」」」

She is valiantly giving out orders. Even though she had so much trouble yesterday, getting tied up, with this place ending up like that and even that place getting like that, with the string biting into outrageous places in an outrageous fashion becoming an outrageous sight, she is valiantly giving out orders today. And also glaring at me with a flat gaze! So she noticed! I mean, Armored Pres-san gave me a super explicit description in the most vivid details? As a highschool boy I’m also having it tough, with the image inevitably coming to my mind? However, just how did she manage to get into turtle shell bondage while playing a cat’s cradle? Such a mystery?

Imagining it any further is dangerous. I mean, the pres pulled out the whip and seems to have changed Job to Pres-sama. Even though she engaged in solo M-Girl play yesterday, what a colorful variety of jobs she has. And yet I’m still stuck as jobless here? No, I’m not thinking about that anymore, so please put that away? Honestly? Well, I did want to see that, but since I didn’t see it, I only imagined how it went? So I’m innocent and totally blameless? I mean, for a highschool boy such a thrilling and exciting cat’s cradle with bondage before/after involving highschool class president is… No, you got me wrong! That’s dangerous! That whip is real bad news! I’m sorry. I won’t do that anymore. So please spare me whip attacks with a teary flat gaze. This is an uber dangerous weapon on par with Armored Pres-san, it’s so crazy that I can’t dodge it without 『Teleport』! Yes, I’m sorry.

Giving in to the thrill might lead to my untimely demise, so I’ll stay put, or rather, we were just playing a cat’s cradle, but since they were doing lewd stuff while playing the conversation turned weird, which is not my fault at all, so I’m totally and absolutely innocent, but since this seems to be a DANGER ZONE lets just turn the other way. I mean, she is looking my way with the whip in her hands? It seems that part was poking out, and was very soft and plumpy, but if I let it bother me any further I’ll be killed with that whip!
