Chapter 133: I don't like a money
[You have acquired Goblin's DNA.]
[Do you want to absorb it?]
[You have acquired Kobold's DNA.]
[Do you want to absorb it?]
'It's really like a game.'
Isao couldn't help but think about it after he entered the dungeon and fought a few monsters inside. After he entered the dungeon, he chopped every monster he saw on the 1st Floor. Moreover, unlike the beginner, his movement was smooth, with no hesitation, and everything was done with confidence.
Yet, this was normal, especially when all of the monsters were so weak, and they also had a set of patterns of attack, which made them easy to predict and hardly became his opponents.
At the same time, as he killed the monsters, he could also feel an improvement in his body. It was like how a character in the MMORPG game gained experience when they killed a monster.
He also got a drop item, such as a magic stone and other special drops that came from respective monsters. Still, as they were just a goblin and a kobold on the 1st Floor, he knew that they were practically cheap and wouldn't give him so much money.
"I am like that gold miner in California..."
Isao couldn't help but murmur, thinking of the California Gold Rush in history.
Those who became wealthy had never been gold miners, but they were those who made a shop and provided services for those miners.
Still, Isao didn't come to this world to become wealthy. He wanted to gain the DNA of various beings, knowledge, experiences, and talents, and lastly, to become stronger.
Yet, even so, he knew that money was important.
Fortunately, his luck was great, and because of that, he met Jack Bird, a rare monster that looked like a rooster with fluffy yellow-green feathers. Although this was only a monster on the 1st Floor, it had a guaranteed dropped item known as "Jack Bird's Golden Egg," which was worth at least 1,000,000 Valis!
Moreover, as he had gained the DNA of this monster, he could control all of those Jack Birds!
Rather, with his ability to regenerate and create the DNA of a creature that was recorded on his body, he could create those drop items by himself and monopolize the "Jack Bird's Golden Egg!"
"As expected, my luck is great!"
At that moment, Isao was glad he had Eina as his advisor, as she had told him all the important things he needed to know as an adventurer.
Still, money had never been his obsession.
Or rather, Isao had never had an interest in money.
As a good person, living frugally has always been something that he has always done.
It was like how he was in the world of "High School of the Dead," and even though he could live in a mansion as huge as Saya's estate before the disaster, he only decided to buy an apartment building.
Or, like when he was in the world of "Kimetsu no Yaiba," when he could get to a country, he was okay with living in the mansion.
So, even though Isao could get all the wealth in the world, he had always been modest.
'As expected, I'm a good person.'
Still, even if he was a good person, he wasn't stupid, and he knew that wealth could attract trouble, so he just got five Jack Bird's Golden Eggs, which should give him five million Valis.
Frankly, he wanted to get more, but there was nothing good to do in a hurry, especially when his power was still low. Nevertheless, he wanted to get to a bigger place and moved away from the abandoned church as that place didn't have a good bath with warm water.
At the same time, he wanted to acquire the blacksmith tools to repair his weapons.
In the "Kimetsu no Yaiba" world, his weapons might be good, but in this world?
Well, they were good, but they couldn't be called exceptional, superior, or even perfect.
They were good weapons, but it was impossible to say that they were the best of the best.
'I need my hands on the DNA of a famous blacksmith god,' Isao thought.
At the same time, while he might have said it subtly, he could have recorded the DNA of those monsters. Even though they turned to dust when they died, Isao could still devour their DNA, gaining their abilities, talents, powers, and any other things.
Probably, if he wished to, he should be able to replicate the DNA of the dungeon as it was a living being, but then again, he was afraid he would become a dry husk the moment he dared to do it, considering the amount of energy he needed to consume to replicate it.
Still, those things aside, he had fun becoming an adventurer, advancing deeper steadily and slowly, making sure to get all the DNA of all the monsters within the floors before advancing.
Slowly, patiently, yet surely.
Isao became stronger, yet when he returned, Eina was furious. "You went to the 7th Floor?! DO YOU WANT TO DIE, IINUMA ISAO?!"
Her voice was so loud that everyone was attracted to their direction, yet Eina ignored them since she felt furious at Isao.
Yet, how could Eina not be angry?! This young man had just become an adventurer today, but he dared to venture to the 7th Floor alone!
If he was in a group, then it might be fine, but Isao was alone!
This was the reason why no one wanted to join Hestia Familia since she was alone, and entering the dungeon solo was the most stupid thing that one had ever done!
Yet, compared to all of that, Isao's act of solo entering the 7th Floor of the dungeon was even more stupid!
"Thank you for worrying about me."
Still, Isao was as calm as ever since he knew that Eina got angry because she was worried about him.
Hearing his thanks, Eina's lips twitched, and then she let out a helpless sigh. "How are you? Are you fine? Are you not hurt? You don't have any wounds, right?" Suddenly, she became worried and checked every part of his body, but she didn't see any wounds.
"While this isn't something that I am proud of, no one can beat me when I run away," Isao said proudly.
"...I am not sure what to say, but I am glad that you are okay."
Still, Eina sighed in relief and asked curiously, "Are you really going to the dungeon?" She knew that it was quite rude of her to ask this question, but Isao didn't seem to be hurt, and he was completely unscathed.
Or rather, his clothes and appearance were so clean, as if he didn't like the dungeon at all!
"Yup." Isao nodded and didn't get angry at her doubt. "By the way, I want to sell my drop items. Is that okay?"
"Sure." Eina nodded. "Let me handle them."
Isao didn't pour his bag; he just put it on the table and said quietly, "I have found something rare, too."
"Oh?" Eina became curious. "Let's go to the room then." While she wasn't sure what Isao had found, it was better to be careful than sorry since money would always attract the bad. Isao was an innocent and honest young man, after all, and she was afraid that he might be hurt by those bad guys. Still, she was in a daze when she saw five of Jack Bird's Golden Eggs.
Eina blinked her eyes, then said in amazement, "You are really lucky."
"Right?" Isao smiled and said, "It's all thanks to you. If you don't give me this information, I might not understand it."
Eina chuckled and asked, "Then, why don't you thank me?"
"Don't be such a cheapskate, Eina-san."
"...say someone who will get five million Valis, yet never think to treat me to something," Eina said with a pout.
"I am quite busy since it's my first day here. Let's do it next time. I will treat you."
"Then, let's do it next time." Eina didn't force him since she knew that Isao had just come to Orario yesterday, so it was natural that he had to do many things. Still, she was dumbfounded when she saw Blue Papilio Wing, a drop item gained from a rare monster, Blue Papilio.
"...you really go to the 7th Floor."
"I have told you, right?"
"So, how was it? Was it difficult?" Eina asked curiously. While she was worried about him, watching him fine like this made her become more curious about him since he had just become an adventurer, yet he was able to reach the 7th Floor.
It was amazing!
Rather, this was unprecedented!
"It's easier than I thought. A monster isn't much different from a beast. They are mindless beings. They can't use their minds, so it is easy to hunt them." Isao tapped his temple and said with a light smile, "Their strength might be stronger than mine, but I am much smarter."
"..."
Eina blinked her eyes and wasn't sure what to say since it was her first time seeing a man like him.
"However, more importantly, it's all because of you that I am all fine."
"Me-Me?" Eina was surprised.
"Yup." Isao nodded. "You have told me many things about monsters, and this helps me to set up many strategies to hunt them down. Thank you, Eina."
"...."
Eina stared at him in a daze before feeling embarrassed, yet her smile appeared too sweet. "No-No, I am your advisor, after all, so this is something that I have to do."
"Then, I don't have to treat you, right?"
"That's a different matter! You have made a promise! You can't break your promise!"
"Okay, okay. When I have settled up, let's go out together."
"That's what you say. Don't break your promise!"
As the two talked to each other, Isao got his money, which was about eight million Valis.
"Then, see you tomorrow, Eina."
"Um, see you tomorrow, Isao." Eina waved her hand and kept standing at the entrance of the guild until she couldn't see him anymore. Before she felt slightly at a loss, she wondered why tomorrow couldn't come so soon.
Still, after Isao, he went out, visiting various stores to buy necessary items for his future adventure, and bought a souvenir for Hestia. He went home, but then, when he was about to enter their place, he noticed a stranger's presence inside the abandoned church.
Who?
"I am back."
As he entered, he wasn't just welcomed by the sight of a deep white abyss that might swallow those who weren't prepared, but he was also welcomed by the sight of a beautiful woman with crimson hair like the blazing flame on the furnace.
Once again, he knew that he might have said this, but he had to say it again.
His luck is too great, right?
