26th Day Morning On the streets of Omui
So tired. Exhausted? Lethargic? On top of that, I did not sleep enough and I am sleepy, but I got woken up anyway… This sucks. I am a worn-out high school boy, you know? No one is taking care of me though.
Everyone applied at the guild for three days so they apparently have to enter the dungeon. I am still Lv 11 so I cannot become an adventurer yet and get to stay home. It is the correct decision since I am a neet, shut-in, and loner.
Seriously. My turn is already over so is it not okay to go home? Being here somehow feels like I get yelled at every single day, does it not? Even though it is not my fault? It is strange and mysterious.
I actually have quite a bit of money. When I counted it was over 2 million ele. The great rich man has revived. Later I will tease the signboard commoner. I have no allowance but I earned it through side jobs. I saved it up little by little. I worked diligently. Yet if they find it they will probably confiscate it. In that case I have to spend it before it gets confiscated.
But the suspicious peddler has not come back today either. My favorability and pheromones have not come back. Where did they go? My favorability? Seriously, when is my favorability going to go up? Because of that I get yelled at every single day even though I did nothing. Go on your peddling trip faster, peddler!
The general store has no new products and no rice either. I did tell the older sister about the ultimate dish called mushroom rice, so she will probably search like her life depends on it. She is a mushroom junkie after all.
The weapon shop, or rather club shop, seems to be doing well. It was pretty busy. This town is probably done for.
I browse this shop and that shop but there are no nice products. There are no suspicious night shops either. I wonder where Akemi-san is.
This is boring.
Maybe I should sneak into the dungeon.
Only adventurers are allowed in apparently, but if I do it secretly it should be fine.
Labyrinths sound kind of fun.
There are apparently real treasure chests too.
For some reason the otaku shot it down saying "If Haru-kun enters the dungeon he will fall from a cliff all the way to the bottom floor and go missing."
No, I will not fall inside the dungeon because I will not fly. The ceilings are low, right?
Anyway, even if I go outside it is just more goblins and kobolds.
Plus I have trauma from the goblin emperor and kobold king.
I am never doing that again.
I am lucky I even survived!
My head was almost bitten off!
I never want to do it again.
The goblin king game is the worst too. That might be the most hated one… because I am the only one who is not the king… I keep losing the whole time!?
This is boring.
I already enjoyed the morning receptionist class rep's glare, and the requests have not changed...
But even now in that guild I have never once made eye contact with anyone? Even when I look straight at their faces we do not meet eyes? It is a mystery? My body is high school age but my head is a mystery that even idiots cannot solve. Probably even if it is not a mystery they would not understand. They are still sleeping and have not recovered at all. Because they are idiots.
Anyway, let me go outside.
There might be carriages getting attacked again today. They might give me a reward.
It is so peaceful. Not a single allowance is showing up.
Not a single carriage is getting attacked.
Well, I do not need anything right now anyway.
My turn is already over and I do not need equipment.
Well, if there is something good I will buy it, of course.
In RPG style, I will just buy it there.
But I do not want to fight strong monsters.
In that case, is my current equipment enough?
I will end up hunting anyway, right?
What is this? It is peaceful.
Well, peace has finally arrived. Days like this are nice too.
"Since I said that, read the room."
For some reason while I was walking toward the forest an orc jumped out. Not an orc face but an actual orc. Well, either way is fine. I cannot tell the difference.
"Did these guys seriously believe the rumor that some town is super popular with monsters and come here? Information poor? Where do orcs even get information from anyway? Is Merimeri-san advertising? Did they put up a signboard inside the forest?"
Goblins and kobolds seem to have come along too. Is this a bulk-buying tour? Should I ride this wave? Even if I try they attack me though? Participation denied!! Because I am a loner!!
I punch the goblins.
I punch the kobolds too.
Occasionally I punch the orcs.
What is this? Monster bashing? Is it a game series? I do not want the king game! Do not come out!! It is not a joke!!
I do not want the kobold king either. If he comes I will sic the bitches on him! That scares me too though… seriously.

How long is this going to go on? Monster bashing? How many hours do I have to keep bashing to clear it? Is there a prize? If it is a pheromone ring I will take it! I will definitely take it!! Come on, you favorability bunch! I will turn all of you into favorability!

It is already getting dark, you know? I am hungry, you know? Is there no pause or save? It is time to go home, you know? Well, by that logic I would have to go back to the forest too.
How long is this going to go on? Master of monsters? How many hours do I have to keep bashing to clear it? Is there a prize? If it is rice I will take it! I will definitely take it!! Come on, you onigiri bunch! I will roll and tie all of you up!

It is completely dark now, you know? Seriously, I am hungry! I could not hold it and gnawed on mushrooms midway! Even though I am near town? Oh? Is it finally over? Ending? What is the prize?
"Eh~? Read the room? The last part being annoying makes it a confirmed kusoge, right! Why are you coming out? If all allies are wiped out we should retreat, right? Come on?"
Orc King-san is the last boss. His level is 34 and his HP is a wasteful 327. He is weaker than the goblin emperor but it is definitely going to take a ton of time, right?
"Seriously, it is already late at night and I am hungry. What is with the orc king now? This is definitely the long-fight pattern, right? Are you aiming for starvation? Is that your strategy? Hey, can I just go eat dinner first? I will come right back. Seriously, just a little? It will be quick!"
Apparently no. Worst. Does not read the room. On otaku level. I would not even be surprised if an otaku king shows up now. Seriously, why do I have to beat them to death? It is such a pain.

I beat it to death. Bludgeoned it. Finished it off. But no one is giving me a prize, you know? What? Was I tricked? I kept beating it hard the whole time because I would be in trouble if they said magic was nullified, so I punched everything without cutting or stabbing. No prize? ......Whatever, I am going home.
Not otaku king… who was it again… Oh right, I only collect the magic stones and clubs from the orc king and orc leaders. The rest is too much. I am tired, it is a pain, and I am hungry.
With no prize I return to town feeling down.
It was wasted effort.
If I collected everything it would be a good amount of money, but with this much they probably cannot sell it all anyway.
The whole area is covered in clubs. This town can just become Club Town, right? If it was Favor Town it would sound a little cool though. Where did the favorability I am longing for go?
