After seeing Margaret off, I walked to the Dungeon Association, where I meet up with Cell .
Since I want to give the Percentage Bullet to Margaret, there are a few procedures I need to do, and one of them requires Cell, so I dropped by here to ask for his help .
“How is it?” (Ryouta)
“Though we have not made it before . ” (Cell)
“But?” (Ryouta)
“Are you sure about that, Satou-sama?” (Cell)
“Yeah, I find that it would be more useful to Margaret, or more specifically to the 4 knights who are protecting her . ” (Ryouta)
“Fumu,” (Cell)
Cell nodded, as if agreeing .
“As expected of Satou-sama, even with such strong ability, you would not mind giving it up . Truly a King’s mind . ” (Cell)
“No matter how I think about it, giving it to them is far better . ” (Ryouta)
The 4 ninja knights .
If I can give it to them, Margaret’s live would be so much more easier .
For that reason, I need to conquer Tennessine, and Cell’s help .
“So, can you help gather people?” (Ryouta)
Though I said that I have not made it before . But since Satou-sama is expecting my help, no matter if heaven and earth were flipped upside down, I shall never disobey Satou-sama’s expectations . ” (Cell)
“I’m not a carrot though . ” (Ryouta)
The way he puts it reminds me of another character, the one and only Eve .
“Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it . ” (Ryouta)
“When do you want to start?” (Cell)
“As soon as possible, as long as you can gather them . ” (Ryouta)
“Even if Satou-sama says “ASAP”, I do not want to hinder your everyday life by saying immediately . ” (Cell)
Well, you’re right on the mark .
“With that said, we shall do it after sunset tomorrow . ” (Cell)
“Thanks . ” (Ryouta)
Not only is he helping me, but he’s considerate as well .
The next evening .
After confirming that Nihonium and Mike has returned home, I brought Margaret along using the Transportation Room to head straight to Tennessine’s room .
When I brought Margaret over, Tennessine was surprised .
I started speaking first .
“I have another way of increasing people . ” (Ryouta)
“Fuck off!” (Tennessine)
Tennessine was pissed mad .
But then he took out a table, and with his power, cut the black watermelon into few slices .
What he says does not match what he’s doing .
Margaret who’s seeing this tsundere guy for the first time was extremely confused, as she looked at me for help .
“Since you already took the watermelon out, it’s a waste to not eat them . So its alright for us to eat it?” (Ryouta)
“Hmph! Since it’s a pain to clean it up afterwards, go and eat them then you bastard . ” (Tennessine)
As always, he has a rather mean mouth, but his tsundere is still the same .
I recommended the watermelon to Margaret, and I don’t think we’re done with the watermelon talk——But it should be okay to move on to the next topic .
“Let me introduce . This here is Princess Margaret . The most popular person in the world . ” (Ryouta)
“Most popular?” (Tennessine)
“Yes, and as to how popular she is… . . ” (Ryouta)
As per discussed, Margaret took out her air box .
When I opened it, I showed it to Tennessine .
“There’s nothing inside though . ” (Tennessine)
“There is, look closely, it’s air . ” (Ryouta)
“What the!? Are you trying to fuck with me or something!?” (Tennessine)
Though he was pissed, but I thought that it’s actually right of him to be pissed .
It’s understandable that I might be playing a prank on him .
“No no no, you’re wrong . This is a drop that is automatically collected . And once it’s collected, a label of the person who defeated the monster would be printed into the box . For example . ” (Ryouta)
I took out a different box .
There’s a face of me and a label there, when opened—-
“It’s Ryoutsan’s Matsutake . ” (Margaret)
“Yeap, but please change the way you speak . ” (Ryouta)
“???” (Margaret)
Margaret tilted her head in confusion, but for some reason I can feel some killing intent .
I’m guessing it’s those 4 ninja knights that are staring daggers at me .
What did you make the Princess say .
Those are the words that I can feel .
Feeling cold sweat forming from my back, I looked at Tennessine and continued .
“I’m sure you understand right? It’s like branding your own drop . ” (Ryouta)
“Ah . ” (Tennessine)
“So similar to that, what Margaret is selling is her air—–which frankly speaking, it would net a higher worth when it’s drop in your dungeon . ” (Ryouta)
“Don’t spout some strange shit to me!” (Tennessine)
He smashed the table, and stood up .
Yeap, this is the reaction I wanted .
“It’s true . That is how popular she is . ” (Ryouta)
“……”
Tennessine turned and look at Margaret with dead suspicious eyes .
A face of half doubt .
After he finally calmed down, he asked .
“So she’s popular, what of it?” (Tennessine)
“You have rare monsters right?” (Ryouta)
“Huuh? You mean those monsters which occasionally appear?” (Tennessine)
“Yeah . So can’t you make the rare monster’s appearance look like her? I mean of course not trapping her inside the dungeon . ” (Ryouta)
“To do that . ” (Tennessine)
He stared at me for a moment, then clapped his hands and called out a monster .
A monster that looks exactly like Margaret, an exact replica .
“Yeah yeah that’s right! I hope that you can occasionally release this monster around the dungeon . ” (Ryouta)
“And that will attract people?” (Tennessine)
“You still don’t understand?” (Ryouta)
“Huh?” (Tennessine)
Tennessine made a [how the hell would I know?] face .
However immediately after—
“This… . What is with this swarm of people . What the hell is wrong with them, They’re making a line . I’m disgusted that they’re so well-behaved!” (Tennessine)
“I’m happy you understand . ” (Ryouta)
Seems like Cell has done his job .
This was the request I have for Cell, a demonstration of an event .
Basically I told them that you can interact with a rare monster—-Margaret inside Tennessine .
Once advertised, we have attracted the Margaret fans .
The advertising time was only one day——No wait, it has only been half a day .
And so many have gathered .
“Oi, it’s over 10k people and they’re till coming… . . Just how many of them are coming!” (Tennessine)
Tennessine shouted .
However his face was grinning .
“This is her ability to attract customers . ” (Ryouta)
“……… . ” (Tennessine)
Tennessine silently glanced at Margaret .
Margaret was pulled aback . Yes, I totally understand .
“Whether it’s true or not, you can try and put some for those who came in . ” (Ryouta)
“H-Hmph! As if I’ll do as you say . ” (Tennessine)
After saying that, the doppelganger of Margaret disappeared .
“Why are they worshipping her! And they’re voluntarily forming a queue!” (Tennessine)
Seems like he placed the doppelganger Margaret in front of their fans .
By the way, the doppelganger is weak .
Though she’s level 99, but her abilities are All F .
So even if the doppelganger has reached her maximum talent, I think it won’t do much .
Just in case, I asked Cell to contact me if anything were to happen .
“Now you know just how much popularity she has?” (Ryouta)
“Yeah, she’s the real deal . ” (Tennessine)
“I can give more ideas . ” (Ryouta)
“———H-Hmph . Doing that would only increase the number of people . ” (Tennessine)
Tennessine looks at me flickeringly, occasionally glanced at me .
I took out the Percentage bullet and showed it to him .
“This . ” (Ryouta)
“Isn’t this what I gave you?” (Tennessine)
“Can you give this power to her, and not me? Give it to Margaret Tennessine . ” (Ryouta)
I purposely attached his name onto her .
Since now that a rare monster looks like Margaret, it will be known that Tennessine has granted some sort of power to Margaret .
So maybe she became an idol in this dungeon .
Rather than meeting the real deal, you have the possibility to meet a [90%] real person here .
With that, I persuaded Tennessine even further .
“That’s how she can increase her fans even more . ” (Ryouta)
“More will come……” (Tennessine)
“That’s right, more~” (Ryouta)
“More……” (Tennessine)
Affirming his words, he muttered .
And in the hypothetical future I showed, Tennessine became completely captivated by it .
