Morning sales at the rest room in front of the stairs were brisk, and the line in front of the 10-rim game was long.
I suppose itβs understandable. If you can get an Elixir for 10 rims, everyone will want to try it.
That said, there has been only one success so far.
I collected the copper coins from the earnings of the machine and found 1020 rims.
The success rate at this point of time is 1/102 huhβ¦β¦
Just like that, I can easily collect the money, but even I, the owner of the stall, canβt get my hands on the prized Elixir.
The prize is automatically replenished.
If I wanted the Elixir, I would have to succeed in the 10-rim game myself.
The adventurer who had obtained it showed me the Elixir, which was a light brown, cuboid tablet that looked much like the Japanese confectionery, rakugan.
Iβd like to get one too, just in case.
Itβs my privilege as the owner to play the game as many times as I want after closing time, so I should try it out at night.
However, if I do it at Bottakuro, Iβm sure Iβll get complaints from my neighborsβ roomsβ¦β¦
Depending on the situation, I might even be beaten up.
It canβt be helped. Iβll think of a place to practice this game later.
[Hello.]
Regal, who was injured the other day, came to the store.
[Ah, Minerva-san. Thank you for the other day.]
[Umu.]
Minerva, who didnβt go hunting in the dungeon at all, was looking this way a few distance from the stall.
He got a pretty sharp look in his eyes right now though, making me feel a little scared.
[Yo, Regal. You taking a break?]
[Yes. Oof, ouchβ¦β¦]
Regal clutched his left shoulder with a wry smile.
[Whatβs wrong? Did you get hurt again?]
[I was hit in an earlier battle.]
[If so, I have something good for you.]
In the past, I have sold snacks and goods that aid in battle.
However, I didnβt have anything like a recovery item.
But now, at long last, Dagashi Yahagi now has a snack that can heal wounds.
It would be this.
Product name: Morocco Yogul
Description: Sweet and sour creamy snack, eaten with a wooden spoon. Minor recovery of injuries
Price: 20 rims (If one gets a WIN, one can acquire another one)
[Eat this and your wounds will heal.]
Theyβre more effective than the restorative tea sold by Mirai-san.
After Regal ate two pieces, the bruise on his shoulder cleanly disappeared.
[Theyβre cheaper than Life Potions, and they make a nice snack. Iβll come back next time to buy some more.]
[Yeah, just having one on hand increases your chances of survival a lot.]
It also has a size that wouldnβt hinder your movements even if you put it in your pocket.
Theyβre so good that Merle and Mira also bought three.
The first day of the stall in front of the stairs was over.
My sales were higher than when I was selling in the open space in front of the dungeon.
Well, this is partly due to the 10-yen game and my other new products, but it also has something to do with the fact that there are fewer rival stores.
If I continue to run my store here tomorrow, I should be able to buy myself a permit.
However, I now donβt feel too inclined to do that.
I decided that it would be more profitable to continue running my shop here than to pay the 12,000-rim fee.
Besides, my shopβs regulars are very happy.
Itβs convenient for them to have me here.
There were times when monsters appeared, but because the nearby adventurers took them out, the time for me to battle didnβt appear.
No, I guess itβs more like the time for my monster cards to battle didnβt appear.
And for some reason, Minerva was around all the time today, so I didnβt feel in any danger.
[Minerva, is it really alright for you to not work?]
[I took the day off today.]
[Then, why donβt you go out and chill somewhere?]
[Hmph, I am relaxing here in your dagashi shopβ¦β¦]
Minerva sometimes played in the 10-rim game and ate sweets, but most of the time, she just stared blankly at my shop.
Was she even having fun there?
I donβt want to speak out of turn, but I guess everyone has their own way of spending their day off.
The rush hour for adventurers to return home had passed, and the number of people had dwindled.
It was also time for me to go home.
""
If I donβt go with this flow of people, I might be in danger in this dungeon.
[Iβll be closing up shop soon.]
I called out to the adventurers still playing.
I just have to solemnly think βCloseβ, so closing up shop was quick and easy.
[Are you heading back?]
Thereupon, Minerva came up to me.
[Ou. You heading back with me, Minerva?]
[I- If you ask me that much, it canβt be helped. Iβm worried about you just having the slutty bratsβ¦β¦ Merle and Mira guarding you by themselves, so Iβll go with you.]
The four of us, Minerva, Merla, Mira and me, moved through the dungeon side by side.Β
[Speaking of which, is there any place I can go that isnβt frequented by people?]
I asked Merle and the others.
[Whatβs the matter?]
[I want to get an Elixir from the 10-rim game. I think the people back at my inn would get mad if I took it out and made noise there.]
[Then, why donβt you just do it somewhere nearby?]
[If I do it at night in the city, Iβll be afraid of muggers.]
Even if itβs the royal capital, the security isnβt that good.
[I really want to do it in the inn, but theyβll get angry if I make any noiseβ¦β¦]
At that moment, I suddenly felt a strong grip on my shoulders.
[Gwahh!]
There, I saw the black leather-gloved fingers of the Grim Reaper dig tightly into my shoulders.
[Ouch! What are you doing, Minerva!?]
I complained, but Minerva wouldnβt let go of his hand.
On the contrary, he even brought his silver mask closer, looking like he was trying to pick a fight.
[I- In that case, w- w- why donβt you come to my house?]
""
[Minervaβs house? Wait, let go of me already! It hurts.]
[U- Umuβ¦β¦]
Minerva finally let go of his hand.
[You have a house?]
[I just rented it the other day. Itβs in the middle of nowhere, but if youβre alright with thatβ¦β¦]
[Can I play the 10-rim game there?]
[I donβt mind. Y- You can also have meals and stay the night there if you want!]
[Seriously? Minervaβs food is delicious, so Iβm grateful for that, but I feel bad.]
He had made me lunch again today.
It was just as delicious as before.
[No need to hold backβ¦β¦ Iβll make you as many meals as you want.]
[If thatβs the case, that really helps. Iβll be in your care.]
Tonight, Iβll play with the prized game and have a lot of fun together with him.
I was grateful to be allowed to use Minervaβs room.
