As Long as You Have the [Shop] Skill, the Dungeonized World Is a Breeze ~The Bullied Youth’s Payback Lifestyle~ - Chapter 189

Chapter 189 – Postponing Buying a Skill

TL: Sponsored chapter (2/2)

“Milord, what kind of skill do you desire?” (Shiki)
“Hmmm, let’s see… Well, I’d definitely want a skill that would increase my survival rate. For example, if I was suddenly attacked by a S-Rank monster, what then?” (Torimoto)
“Even if you were killed, wouldn’t you still manage to get by with the [Respawn Tag]?” (Shiki)
“That’s if I die, isn’t it?” (Torimoto)
“Hm? What do you mean, milord?” (Shiki)
“For example, what if the opponent can instantly paralyze me or make me fall asleep?” (Torimoto)
There were fantasy items with resistances to such effects, but none of them seemed to be able to withstand S-Rank power. After all, S-Rank monsters were just that powerful.

Of course, as time went by, there was a good chance that items with even stronger resistances would appear in the <Shop>.

“What’s scariest is the possibility of a monster with a sealing type power.” (Torimoto)
“Sealing…?” (Shiki)
“It exists in games too. The kind that seals your abilities, skills, and so on.” (Torimoto)

It would be the worst if my skill was sealed. Even if it was only temporary, I would lose out on a lot of combat power if I couldn’t use <Shop> or <Box>.

“I see. It’s true that there are monsters with the ability to seal their opponents’ powers,” Shiki said with a groan.

I wasn’t surprised. After all, there were items sold in the <Shop> that could break seals, as well as items that could prevent seals. The fact that they were being sold meant that sealing type powers existed.

And all of these items weren’t capable of completely preventing sealing.

I could only hope that in the near future, more and more items would appear in the <Shop> that could counter S-Rank monsters.

“For now, I guess I’ll hold off on purchasing any skills.”
I would rather save up money and evolve Kaza and Shiki to S-Rank if possible. Right now, I only had enough to evolve just one of them, but the thought of ¥10 billion instantly disappearing in a puff of smoke made me hesitate.

Besides, given the fact that I wanted to further develop Joysprout Island, no amount of money was enough.

The future of living a comfortable, leisurely life on an island with only the people I trusted was still a long way off.

Should I just give in and sell all the houses that the people have abandoned?

That would instantly bring me closer to my goals in terms of money, but it would eat away at me since this measure was what I originally considered a last resort.

Izu said that the world had already become like this and there were no more laws, so I could do as I pleased. But for some reason, I felt like it went against my own arbitrarily set principles.

It might be a petty, useless pride, but I didn’t want to resort to robbing people who weren’t evil.

I would only resort to this measure if there were really no other options, or if I found out that the owner of the house had already disappeared from this world.

“Then milord, wouldn’t it be a great profit if we sold weapons, food, and other goods to these cultists as well?” (Shiki)
“Mmm, that’s certainly true.” (Torimoto)
Since it was such a large group, it would surely be a large business deal.

“But that would also increase the speed at which men disappear from this world, wouldn’t it?” (Torimoto)
“Yes, that’s true. But do you care about those other people, milord?” (Shiki)
It was an unusually cold opinion, coming from Shiki. No, he was only thinking in my best interests to begin with, so perhaps this was only natural.

“Well, I’ll think about it. Aside from weapons, just negotiating a deal with them for food and daily necessities would be profitable enough.” (Torimoto)
After talking with Shiki for a while, I left the room with the tray and put it on the cart as Saniwa had told me to.

As I was killing more time in the data room, I heard a voice from the direction of the staircase, saying ‘thank you for your hard work!’, much like a subordinate greeting a higher-up.

I heard footsteps approaching, each step accompanied by a clacking sound.

It seems that someone is here to visit me…

After waiting for a bit, I was surprised to find that it was Sayuri herself that came to visit me. Of course, she was accompanied by a bodyguard, one of the women in the blue bandanas.

“”

I thought she would just have one of her subordinates or one of the followers come to inform me of her wishes, but…

“Good morning, Torimoto-san.” (Sayuri)
“Good morning to you too, Sayuri-san. You have a request so soon?” (Torimoto)
“I would like to speak with you. Could you accompany me to my office?” (Sayuri)
“You could have just sent a follower to call for me, no?” (Torimoto)
“I happened to have something to do around this area. If you’d please?” (Sayuri)
I voiced my assent and followed Sayuri.

The office seemed to be in a different building, so I was able to see the sky once more.

When Sayuri saw me stretching as I looked up at the clear sky, she spoke to me apologetically.

“Sorry. Rather than the basement, I should have prepared a room with a better view.” (Sayuri)
“Ah, I don’t mind. Although I do travel a lot, I’m actually a rather indoorsy person by nature.” (Torimoto)
“I appreciate your understanding. I am having my followers arrange a suitable room for you, so please wait a little while longer.” (Sayuri)
It seemed that the basement was not the private room that had originally been planned for me.

“Are you sure? Giving a man special treatment. There must be a lot of opposition from those around you.” (Torimoto)
“They cannot voice any objections to treating a special existence in a special manner.” (Sayuri)
“It makes me glad that you think so highly of me. Especially a beautiful woman like you.” (Torimoto)
“Fufu, you flatter me.” (Sayuri)
Hm. Even though it’s just an act, saying that made shivers run up my spine.

The blue bandana woman glared at me and said, ‘why are you trying to hit on her?’, but I lightly brushed it off.

After entering a two story building, we went up the stairs to the office on the second floor.
