I woke up feeling refreshed.
Since the room was still dark, it seemed it was not morning yet. I took the tablet and headed for the entrance. Ladarion was still fast asleep.
「……I should make a room for Ladarion soon……」
According to Romy-san, Ladarion was around thirteen or fourteen. It would be bad to keep sharing the central room forever. Although he cared more about food than modesty and wandered around in his underwear.
「This place is getting cramped」
I had been expanding the entrance little by little whenever I saved enough money, so it was now about twelve tatami in size. The shelves for guns, magazines, and tools were starting to overflow.
Right now I had around eight million yen saved. Considering I started with only a hundred thousand yen, I was in a much better position, but in this business, even if I could not agree with calling it that, anything could happen. I would not feel safe without at least twenty million.
Still, hoarding money and dying without using it would be pointless. You had to spend when necessary to survive. You had to use weapons suited to the situation. It really made me hate how expensive everything was.
「If I buy something for travel, I will need to double the space, right?」
Since I could only buy things inside the Sefuti Home, I had to prepare enough room for whatever vehicle I chose. Ah, I wanted a space big enough to store three meter steel pipes too. I might need another watchtower someday.
Connecting one point five meter pipes together was a hassle. At least three meter pipes would make things easier.
「If that is the case, doubling the size might not be enough」
First, I spent five hundred thousand yen to expand the space.
「Not quite doubled」
It went from twelve tatami to around twenty. If five hundred thousand only gave me this, I would need to spend close to two million to get the size I wanted.
「Ah, if that is the case, making a room for Ladarion would cost about two million too? Rooms in this place are kind of expensive, aren’t they?」
A prefabricated house for two million yen would be more than good enough.
「I should keep at least five million yen, so we have no choice but to stay in the central room together a little longer」
Well, I am not a lolicon and I do not feel any desire for Ladarion. It will not be a problem to wait until he starts feeling shy around me.
After taking a moment with a canned coffee, I began loading rounds into the MP9 submachine gun I bought together with the APC9.
Thanks to the magazine loader it did not take much effort and I filled ten magazines.
「Magazines are surprisingly expensive though」
Why does one cost three thousand eight hundred yen? It is more expensive than a SCAR magazine. Even if I use an apport pouch to bring more in, I still cannot throw them away. In the end I have to go back to the Sefuti Home to replace them once they are empty.
「Buying a huge number of magazines would make them impossible to manage」
There is a trick where I can buy a factory shipment pallet at a seventy percent discount, but there is no way I could use that many in fifteen days. I could not finish them in a year. Fifty magazines is the most I could handle. I have the P90, the shotgun, and the submachine guns after all.
「I cannot go back to fighting with a sword now. I just have to commit to this style」
I might win one on one. I might barely manage one on two. But once it becomes one on three, the only choice is to run. Someone like me can only fight with guns. Even if it costs money, I have no other option.
While checking everything and replenishing what I lacked, Ladarion came over. I guess it is time for him to get up. I should spend a full day rearranging the room soon.
「Takato, good morning」
「Morning. I will make breakfast, so go wash your face」
I only meant to do a little, but I got absorbed in it. My 5S habits kicked in.
I wrote the date on the shotgun shell boxes, put them on the shelf, then went to the central room and prepared breakfast.
When I checked the refrigerator, it was almost empty. If it ends up like this after just two days, the day we need three refrigerators might not be far off.
I leave the random stocking of groceries to Ladarion. He seems particular about how things are arranged, and if I put things in, he rearranges them anyway.
After breakfast, I lightly equipped myself and stepped out of our room in the inn.
The time was seven thirty. That was late for adventurers, but when I went down to the dining hall, Rondario and the others were drinking coffee.
「Good morning. Are you taking the day off today?」
What do adventurers even do on their days off? Just sleep all day?
「Yeah. We have a lot to talk about」
「I see. Adventurers rely on their bodies, so please take your time and rest」
We should rest for two days too when we get back to Lasagna Village.
「Takato, are you two heading back today?」
「Yes. We cannot just encroach on your hunting grounds. We will head for another hunting area」
This was already Rondario’s territory. If we stayed, they would not be able to earn properly.
「You and Ladarion set up a house in Lasagna Village, right?」
「Yes. Although the house is on the far side of the village」
「I see. I will visit when I have the time. I want to ask you about how to use some of your tools」
「I cannot say anytime, but if I am not home, feel free to use the house. I will let the village know」
「I appreciate that. It saves me lodging fees」
Even as a high ranked adventurer, he is careful with money. I should learn from him.
「We will leave the inn once our preparations are done」
「Ah, Rusul said to stop by before you leave」
That was right. I had forgotten about Rusul. I should definitely greet him before we go.
「Understood. I will stop by」
I said that and went back to the room.
