Chapter 107 - I think you need money to explore nearby places while sightseeing in another world

Day 41  Morning  Inn  White Pervert

Action guidelines. What mindset to hold, how to act, and what results to seek? That's the basic policy.

No matter how you look at it, we're broke. If we don't act, even inn fees are at risk. We're seriously chasing money here?

"So yeah, dungeons? Labyrinths? Dungeon crawling seems profitable, so I figured we'd tour some while sightseeing?"

"Dungeons and labyrinths—are those the ones where everyone risks their lives fighting monsters to wipe them out? In what world is there a fun dungeon you can tour for profit?"

Hey, entering reduces monsters, and I'm with people who could wipe them out, right? I'm putting in real effort.

Plus, we've finally gotten to see the outside world, so I want to take everyone along. I've only seen this town and the forest too.

Broadening horizons is important—there's not even a travelogue published yet. A frontier travelogue sounds cool!

"So, are we conquering a big labyrinth like the great one?"

We didn't conquer the great labyrinth; we stepped on it and it broke, dropping us down. Is that called conquest? The characters match!

But even if the characters match or it's similar, we fell. Climbing back up after falling isn't conquest—maybe "stair conquest"? Yeah, those stairs were way too many!!

"No, just wander in safely as far as we can go, make money, and head back? Something like that?"

"""Is that what dungeons are for—safely wandering, earning cash, and leaving?"""

"I vaguely remember almost dying there…"

You guys take zero safety margins, so things end up like that. Poor crisis management leads to near-death experiences… Just thinking it gets me glared at? Super glared at? Yeah, better stay quiet.

"I tortured the otakus into spilling info, and it turns out there are dungeons all over the place. The forest has no monsters left anyway?"

"Yeah, seems so. But wiping out forest monsters doesn't mean we have to destroy dungeons too? And why are you casually torturing Oda-kun and the others!!"

Because there's no other income source! They only give 50,000 ele pocket money a day! Greed Incarnate can get mad about a raise too?

"Torture sounds bad. Their heads weren't burned yet, so I just chatted while roasting a bit—perfectly normal?"

"""You literally said you tortured them into talking! And don't call roasting heads while chatting 'normal'!"""

They wouldn't burn though? Total failure. Selling that 'Profession Medal [Job Trait Up]' boosted the guardian's abilities. Even 16-shot Meteors didn't scorch them. Cheat jobs are OP—unemployed should apologize!

"So after breakfast, let's check out the new shallow dungeon near the downstream village?"

"""A new dungeon tour? It's new, but I doubt it's for sale or subdivided."""

"Huh? What are dungeons again? Do they do open houses?"

"Plus, whether you tour or not, if you like it, you monopolize all floors anyway."

"And it's not even buying—it's straight-up robbing the monsters! Wait, that should be good, but it sounds super evil!?"

No subdivisions or tours apparently. Inn fees are always tight—we rack up tabs, shake down the town for cash to pay, run out, tab again, shake down the guild… Bicycle operation life. With Greed Incarnate attached? Well, a sexy dress arrived at the general store, so I forced a purchase—but dress and lingerie were expensive. Bought it all out, went broke! As a high school boy, last night was intense effort too!

Summoned in second year of high school, I've only seen cabaret girls on TV. Then a sexy dress appears—back and butt fully exposed! Bought it, obviously. Boy's gotta boy. Yeah, both dress and contents were top quality.

"Coincidentally, it's new, shallow, weak, and low-monster. 10 to 20 floors would be perfect for an underground mansion, right? Closest to town too?"

"""Yup, planning to hijack a dungeon! Not coincidence—full intent!"""

Because if it grows to 100 floors, huge bathhouse possible, but 100-floor underground stairs? Instant chill—bath water gets cold!

"10 floors feels just right; depends on layout after?"

"""That's dungeon talk, not house viewing! And dungeons aren't 'just right' ever!"""

"A 3LDK on the dungeon map would shock anyone!"

"A 10-floor punch-through house—is that affordable?"

Close to town, village nearby, moderate low-floor underground home.

Panoramic nature views all around. Well, everything's nature-surrounded here.

Actually, I'd prefer closer to commercial areas—ideal: shopping mall dungeon with big bookstore. Yeah, conquer that ASAP if it exists!

Anyway, can't know without looking, so let's go. The great labyrinth was too huge—lower levels full of holes, collapse risk? Ah, Armor Committee Chair is giving the dead-eye stare!?
