513 513. Nihonium Works
Vila Diechee at night.
'This is delicious.'
Sakura was in a good mood and was gulping down a beer when I brought her to her favorite restaurant.
'That's fine, but are you glad you drank it?
Don't worry, my family's all about the drinking.
No, no, no, I mean, compliance-wise, you know?
What are you talking about, Uncle Peter?
Sakura shook her fingers, chit-chit, and even winked at me.
'All the characters in this piece are eighteen years old or older, you know.
That's the opposite of dangerous!
So do I. I'm an all-girls school girl. You can go to school, too.
No, no, no. ......
I mean, how old do you have to be in this world to drink?
Speaking of which: "Speaking of which: ......
I haven't heard anything like that at all.
I was curious, so I asked a familiar male clerk who was just passing by.
'Do you have to be old enough to drink?'
I got a rather "what are you talking about?" look on my face.
It looks like you don't have it.
I guess not.
I never told him how old I was before.
'What?Uh, ...... Speaking of which?
I wonder how it was, and I turn my head.
Like I heard or not: .......
'Well, one way or the other,'
Hmm?
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. If you're okay with it, you're okay with it in this world.
Hmm.
I chuckled.
'Uncle Cheelem is fine, too,'
No, that's a problem!
I gave a grand shove.
'Yeah?'
Yes,
I mean, aren't there a lot of guys in this world that are adventurers?
'What?Yeah, well. Yeah.
I nodded, wondering what all of a sudden.
The overwhelming majority of my companions are women, but in general, when it comes to adventurers, men are more likely to be men.
Due to the nature of "hunting" as an activity, men are more willing to become it.
"After all, adventurers are dangerous, aren't they? Sometimes people die.
Well, you know.
So, men are less likely to be boys in this world!
Snap!Sakura pokes her finger at him.
'Yeah?Yeah, ...... it will, right?
'I mean, Cheelem is a natural form!If there are more women in the world, then a world-class uncle should be properly fed full of them!
That's what you're talking about!
I've gone into it again in a big way.
Sakura is a bit of a problem.
Every time she's in trouble, she calls out "Cheerem".
Especially now, maybe because she's drunk on beer, she is more stubborn than usual.
"Am I saying something wrong?
The trouble is, it's not wrong in theory.
Yeah, I know. It was something I saw. A lot of men died after this big war, and if they don't practice polygamy, it'll be a disaster for society.
"Sure, sure. There aren't that many men in this world, so there's no need for a cheerleader.
That's boring.
Sakura was spoiled, I went through with the story there and then.
It was a tangled drink, but since Sakura seemed to be enjoying it, I thought it was fine.
Okay, then, I'll do this.
Hmm?
"Come play with me. If I win, you can play Cheerem.
'No, no, no, ...... what if you lose?'
I don't know anything about that. Okay, here we go.
Sakura took out her sketchbook and materialized and summoned the picture she had drawn with Genesis.
What was summoned was her right arm.
It was a brutal right arm "only".
'What is this?'
Arm-wrestling machine. You're not supposed to play with them here.
Yeah.
I was also on the edge of my seat, wondering what they would do to me, but I guess I had that much sense.
If it was just arm wrestling in a bar, well, it happened all the time.
'Okay,'
I rested my right arm's elbow on the table.
I teamed up tightly with the macho right arm Sakura had summoned.
'Ikuyo, lady ...... go!
Pan!Mekimeki Mekimeki.
The next moment after the command was given, my arm bent in a different direction.
In an instant, I was completely defeated in an arm wrestling match, my arm was broken and the table was smashed with the force of it.
''Huh?''
What?
Sakura and I both looked at each other.
I looked at my broken arm. This is bad.
It's so bad that I'm paralyzed and can't feel the pain.
What is it, Uncle?
...... Yeah.
I nodded.
I took the portable nowboard out of the Grand Eater's pocket and used it.

Uncle!Status.
You're here.
I knew it. ...... Huh?What do you mean?
'There was one possibility in this whole sequence of events. I expected it, but I guess I was right.
So what's the point?
'All of my combat abilities are from the 'seeds' I gave you from the 'seeds' I dropped in the dungeons of Nihonium, i.e. Nihonium's.'
The Genie's ......
That's what I thought.
A series of, uh, spirit revolts.
If you expected it, why didn't you do anything about it?
I did?I'd rather have invited them.
What?
After the Ferrum one, I rather urged them to do so.
Why not?
I didn't tell you this either, but I'm pretty sure nihonium wants to 'make people suffer'.
'What?Is that ...... as a genie?
'That's what I mean. So this is effectively the same thing as 1.5 billion of vanadium,
I rifled through my pockets as I said this.
'Yeah, all the nihonium-related special bullets are gone too.
I tried to use the recovery bullets, but they were gone too.
The recovery bullets that dropped from the mummy on the third floor of the Nifonium basement, they were gone.
'This is crap.'
I muttered.
Even though I had expected this, it's definitely a troubling situation.
It's only because I expected it that I can stay calm.
'...... haha,'
What's going on?With such a big sigh.
'Uncle is amazing, isn't he? You expected it and then made it come to you.
Sakura looked at me with eyes that were half gasping and half impressed.
