Although I Am Only Level 1, but with This Unique Skill, I Am the Strongest

The night tavern, Villa Diechee.

I was sitting facing Neptune.

Neptune has Ran and Lil on either side of him as usual, and I'm alone.

Neptune and Viradiech also drank a soda pop that they had stocked up on, and smiled and laughed.

I'm so proud of you. I didn't know this kind of drink existed in this world. It's water, but it tastes like it's not water.

That's the effect of the carbonation. If you leave it alone for a while, the carbonation will be completely released and you'll be left with just water.

It's just like beer.

Unlike beer, which is just water when it's out of the bottle.

Ha-ha, I've got to get this out of my system.

Neptune gulped down the soda water as he said this.

''Do you know that you're doing a lot of work and making some interesting moves here and there?

Interesting move?

I'm up in dungeon societies all over the country asking to rent out entire dungeons.

Really?

There are people all over the place who are trying to get rich by imitating you.

Heh. ......

Was that going to happen?

Well, it's going to happen.

'Well, it's too bad the time of year to talk about it anywhere.

Is this the wrong time?

You see, there are spirits here and there bending their navel.

...... Yeah.

So that's the story.

It started with the paper product drop in half, and the fact that Nihonium is doing a lot of things in my family.

But I don't think Nifonium is navel-gazing, I think he's enjoying it.

It's Nifonium who wants to do things that get people in trouble, and I'm now locked on as the target of that.

In fact, these days, Nifonium seemed to be in a good mood.

A calmer, better mood.

I'm not going to tell her to stop because I'm doing that.

'There's a dungeon society that manages everything properly, so there's no need to go anywhere.

'That's what I mean. There are only three things that aren't practically controlled, but none of them are worth any money.

Three?

Is there that many dungeons that are out of the Dungeon Association's control?

'First of all, Vanadium, it's out of control because it's on loan.

Yeah.

And nihonium. It was abandoned almost as soon as I finished the investigation.

And the ...... now board is just one of the front ones.

Finally, Lyota.

Yes?

Why is my name in there?

'I thought you were talking about the dungeon?'

You built a village with only that one unique monster.

"Oh ...... I'm pretty sure that place is named 'Lyota', but it's a village, right?

You paid for them to build some kind of dungeon or something.

...... Yeah.

I've certainly had them made, but .......

They're all monsters in there.

It's haggling, it's unique, but it's all monsters.

Rather than building a human house and turning it into a city, I thought it would be better to have a dungeon-like structure, so I paid for that kind of structure to be built.

All the monsters in the village were supposed to be living in that building now.

The people I talked to at the meeting said that the atmosphere inside was a complete dungeon. If only such a place was overrun with monsters!

I see.

So some people started jokingly referring to it as the 119th dungeon.

That's what you're talking about: ......

"Congratulations, genie satorium.

Satrium.

It was kind of funny.

I knew it was a joke, so I could laugh at it with ease.

'What do you say, you want to bend your belly button for one here?

What does it matter if I bend my belly button?

It's not a real spirit.

If Aulum, Carbon, or Plumbum bent their navel, though, they'd be in a lot of trouble for sure.

Stars.

The Neptune family after Ryota and I parted ways.

Neptune is still the same when he walks, with Ran and Lil on either side of him.

'He doesn't understand, does he?'

What?

It's his own influence.

Neptune chuckled, with a naughty - and slightly egregious - smile.

'I don't have a name with a genie in it, but I wonder how many genies do you think there are who strike out in sympathy when he's angry?

How many of them do you think there are?

At least five.

That much?

'That's how important he is, you know. He doesn't seem to understand that, though.

......

What's up, Lil, giggling. You look good with a face like that.

What-- what are you talking about?

'Mr. Lil' isn't amused by nee-kun's praise of him.

...... Yes, even you. If you wanted to, the spirits--at least two of them--would.

"Ha-ha, thank you.

Neptune chuckled happily.

I'm sure there will be more of them in the future, he will.

He let loose a prophetic word.
