“Hmmmm . ” (Ryouta)
“What’s wrong, Yodsan?” (Emily)
After the day has set .
While I was at the salon sighing and groaning by myself, Emily became worried and asked .
“Emily . Well, I’m just thinking about some stuff regarding Tennessine . ” (Ryouta)
“Tennessine… . . -san, is it nanodesu?” (Emily)
Emily doesn’t know which I’m worried, the dungeon or the spirit .
“Yeah, it’s about the spirit . After thinking about it all this time, I feel like he’s missing something in life . So I asked whether he wanted to get out of the dungeon, but he strongly rejected . ” (Ryouta)
“He’s serious, nanodesu?” (Emily)
“Yeah that’s right . He said that he doesn’t want to get out . Then I asked whether [Can I bring my friends?], in which he replied [Just bring them then!] . ” (Ryouta)
“So he just wants people to come over desu?” (Emily)
“Seems like it?” (Ryouta)
He has no intention of going out .
But he needs the attention, so he wants many people to come to the dungeon .
“It is very normal nanodesu . ” (Emily)
“… . . Eh? Now that you mention, you’re right . ” (Ryouta)
“Nanodesu!” (Emily)
Emily and I laughed .
Though I directly confronted with Tennessine and witnessed his personality, I thought about it in a complex manner, but it is actually quite normal for a dungeon spirit .
“Though, the trouble still remains . ” (Ryouta)
“What were you worried about desu?” (Emily)
“I was thinking of how to get more people into Tennessine . ” (Ryouta)
“I see desu… . . How about reducing the taxes there nanodesu?” (Emily)
“We’re going to do that . As Cell told me to share some of the tax to me, I flat out rejected, so we can reduce the tax . ” (Ryouta)
“As expected of Yodsan nanodesu . ” (Emily)
Emily praised me .
I don’t know why she praised me, but my mood was lifted slightly .
“I was just thinking if I can do something else . ” (Ryouta)
“That is… . . Kinda difficult nodesu . ” (Emily)
“Yeah, it is . ” (Ryouta)
“Have you tried advertising to other dungeons or cities desu?” (Emily)
“Advertise?” (Ryouta)
“Yes desu . ” (Emily)
“Hmmm… . . ” (Ryouta)
I wonder if it’s safe .
No doubt that it’s better to advertise rather than wait for people to spread through word of mouth .
If we do as Emily says, we might be able to bring more adventurers .
We need to increase more adventurers, and the people who open up the shops and Dungeon Association would naturally come afterwards .
Either way, the number of adventurers correlate to their income .
“We can give a strong impression to advertise the place desu . ” (Emily)
“A strong impression, like?” (Ryouta)
“Yes desu! My mom used to say, [There’s delicious sake here], and everyone would gather around her desu . ” (Emily)
“I see…… So get a professional person to promote our place, and get other’s approval . ” (Ryouta)
………
“Aah . ” (Ryouta)
“Yes desu?” (Emily)
Emily tilted her neck .
I thought of one person suitable for this .
Tennessine first floor .
Slightly away from the construction site, as the shadows have defeated the Slime, the Slime Doppelganger was around .
I was accompanied with Emily and we began cooking Matsutake on the spot .
She cooked quickly, started the fire and placed a net on top of the fire, baked the Matsutake, and sprinkled lightly with salt .
It’s a simple procedure, but it was done at its best timing .
With that, the fragrant scent filled the tower .
“Sorry for the wait nanodesu . ” (Emily)
Emily put the baked Matsutake on a plate and offered it to another person who accompanied us .
It was a gentleman-like person with a bodily built .
Eric .
The most famous gourmet and an acquaintance of mine .
We invited him over, had Emily cooked freshly dropped Matsutake and tasted it .
Eric stares at the Matsutake for awhile before sniffing it .
Then, he put it in his mouth .
“———–!” (Eric)
Eric’s eyes suddenly opened .
His eyes were claimed, but his expression was showing an impressed look .
“This is wonderful! It’s truly wonderful . I have never tasted a Matsutake as delicious as this before . ” (Eric)
“Really?” (Ryouta)
“Yes . Shikuro produces Matsutake, but this is like heaven and earth, the sun and moon, compared to this . ” (Eric)
“I see, so it is delicious . ” (Ryouta)
“Yes, Tennessine Dungeon… . So there are others like this…” (Eric)
Eric looks at the Matsutake and the dungeon side by side .
“There’s more awesome stuff upstairs . ” (Ryouta)
“What! I will come! I shall come by all means!” (Eric)
“Alright . Do your best Emily . ” (Ryouta)
“Yes desu!” (Emily)
We went upstairs with Eric .
We asked Mike to bring in additional Slime, and used it to drop more high-quality ingredients one after another, cooked it and gave it to Eric to taste .
Eric who was very satisfied with Tennessine’s food, said .
“This is such a wonderful dungeon, we have to let the world know about this!” (Eric)
And with that, he eagerly advertised it for us .
