DIAW: The Girlfriend System in the World
Chapter 54 - The 1st Floor of the Rithea Union Labyrinth

"Then ... First of all I'll start at the bottom." For the floor in the labyrinth more precisely. They are only inhabited by a few species of creatures, like this half shark for example.

"They're so weak, I'm sure, with a single jab of this spear can definitely defeat him easily." Yeah, I think you might be right about that, Charlotte. Maybe because this is the first floor that makes it easy to get through. "Hmmm ... What are you doing, Richard?"

"Gathering stones." I answered Charlotte's question while picking up one by one the crystals that were on the ground. It will take time and not part of the mission, but I don't think it would be good to leave it and let someone else take it.

Also, because this can also be sold. "Status ... Go to last menu, store item ..." Yup, the dozens of stones that were in my hands earlier have now disappeared into small grains of light. "If it's eighty, then I get eight hundred coppers, huh?"

"Hmmm? Is money worth so much in your eyes?" What the hell are you saying? Of course it is very ...

"I love money, and will save for the old days." Long story short, I intend to retire after reaching my goal, becoming so strong that no one will dare to disturb me, then will enjoy life on my private island along with ...

"Hmmm ... So that's it, between me and that copper, which one would you choose?" Is Charlotte intending to test me, isn't it clear? If that means I have a chance to have a mound of gold, then I'll pick that piece of copper, but.

"What if I choose you over them? Sure, money can be earned again by working, while you don't, there's only one in the world." In other words, if I were to lose Charlotte once, there would be no such thing as the choice of repetition or livelihood of a dead character like the one in the game.

That is, about my explanation had unconsciously made Charlotte into a tomato ... Hm?

***

"Mahaha ... You are all too weak! I'll finish you all out if you keep going like this!" In front of me, there was a voice that I recognized and felt familiar to these ears.

By the time I went up to the second floor together with Charlotte, it was sudden that we found someone with a great sword facing hundreds and a half of sharks to be exact.

Yes, really, alone faced the invasion of the sea of monsters around him, which was now a pile of tall crystal stones resembling a small mountain.

"Hmmph? You you?" Whahuh? Like he was looking at me for a long time and wanted to say something ... Really, I'd be very annoyed if you saw me like that, and when he got closer ... Eh, wait! "You're Richard who beat me, aren't you?"

"And guess why Bruno's here?" Well, he's Bruno. The adventurer who mysteriously disappeared is more precisely, really, I can't believe he could be in this very, very unlikely location.

"Ah, let me guess ... You must be another adventurer that woman sent, right?" I asked that, more precisely confirming whether it was true or not. Regardless of whether Bruno is still a member of our union, and not a betrayer, if he answers "No." then that means the mission is over, then if he says instead ...

"I'm just bored ... Spending time in this place you call the labyrinth helps me a lot more excited, and it's easier to level up!" Whahuh? Really, if it's about you not having a job, then he's not part of the plan? "Well, more precisely. I got this necklace somewhere, and accidentally found this cave too, and then I was allowed in when the guards found me wearing it ... Yes, of course I take advantage of this opportunity to ruin often! Awaha!"

Guess what's on my mind right now. If I say this is a "Continence." maybe less precise, really if it was just unintentional, would it be obtainable as many times? Isn't this what he calls high-level luck?

"Hmmm ... Richard, who's this freak?" Charlotte kind of felt weird when she saw Bruno talking, ah ... I'm sure anyone would have thought this guy was broken in the (Touching the head) section.

"Awha ... You haven't introduced me to her yet, my name is Bruno. So this is your second girlfriend after that blonde girl huh? Well, after this you'll have to introduce me to your third woman." Eits! Wait, stop there! You're the bastard who deliberately made me red in front of Charlotte, right?

We were even hesitant to say what our real relationship was. Then, about that last question of yours.

"Yes ... You're probably right, he's already received something from me that I think should be done when I grow up. So he has to take responsibility!" Hm ... How much did he accuse me of being wrong?

Isn't that because you gave it all of a sudden! And even more annoying, you're making things messier than ever! That doesn't help at all!

"Goddessa ... So the one who took the initiative for the first time was that girl huh? Interesting, interesting ..." Bruno patted me hard on the shoulder. This ... It's a kind of humiliation for me, you've all been working well apparently. All right, I guess I'll have to repay them well when I get home.
