Earth With Dungeon: Saving the World With an Economic Boom

i.”

“If it hadn’t been raining, we might have been in trouble.”

The waitress winks at me with a wink and brings me a bowl, and I make her some ice with a jittery look.

I thank her and turn to Shingen with a kiss on the cheek and a perfunctory wave to the waitress as she moves away.

Thank goodness Shizuku is asleep.
She doesn’t seem to wake up dead until she’s fully recovered, and all I can hear in my head is her sound asleep.

“The rain was lucky, too.
We were having trouble seeing the enemy.”

Shingen chuckles as he slurps down his whiskey.
Surely that would be normal.
But a magician who fights in the terrain of his attribute can be more powerful than his level.
Shadow magic is good at darkness.
Because shadows have no boundaries.
But its effective range depends on what my magic power allows.

“Well, now Shingen’s community will be okay for a while.
We’ve killed that many goblins.
There should no longer be any enemies around the nearest dungeon.”

“I guess.
Well, for a while, I guess.
They’ll be flooding out of the dungeon again.”

I slurp the whiskey from my glass.
The bitter taste of alcohol spreads through my mouth.

“No, this is an opportunity.
I’d try my hand at a goblin dungeon.”

“Oh? The goblin’s dungeon? I see.
If I can defeat the king, I might be able to do it, right?”

Goblin dungeon.
The king that awaits you is a piece of cake if you have a gun, but the dungeon is quite large.
Low-level dungeons are far more common than dungeons where high-level enemies appear, and they spring up in droves.

And the threat level is much lower than the demons in the high-level dungeons.
For those in the inner city.
They use a lot of ammunition to attack.
And the most annoying thing for the army in the inner city is that it consumes ammunition.

So it has been left alone and has become a threat to the people of the abandoned town.
Until now, we couldn’t go deeper because we couldn’t defeat goblin king, but if we can defeat the king, we can get the dungeon core.
That’s our chance.
There are already no goblins around the dungeon.
I can save my mana consumption.

“There’s a rumor that there’s nothing in the dungeon, even if we conquer it.
There might be treasure chests, but we’ll probably only get one or two, and from the rumors so far, they’ll be garbage.”

“I’d like to try one.
What does it mean for the dungeon core? Besides, it’s a good opportunity to test my newfound power.”

Just the thing to test how much power I’ve got.
Besides, dungeon crawling is exciting.

“Level 3.
Hey, how much power do you have?”

“Well, the difference between level 3 and level 2 is that my attack power has increased significantly.
With this attack power, goblins are no match for me.”

“Hmm.
Well, then, this is a good opportunity.
Here’s your reward this time.”

Shingen puts a bundle of papers on the table.
What is this?

“Is it some land title? Ah~ Hmm? A resume?”

I looked at it and saw that it was a resume.
It’s the resume I’ve missed.
I haven’t seen one in over a decade.
There are dozens of them, but what’s this?

“That’s all I could get together, so give me a break.”

“What do you mean?”

“You want us to join Amatsugahara Corporation.
This whole community.”

…… Huh? What did the old man say? Did I mishear?

“Shingen, are you finally blabbering? Should I keep it a secret that you’ve been an idiot for 3 years?”

“Thanks for the turn of phrase, Sakimori.
I’m not stupid yet.”

With a bang on the table, Shingen turns serious.

“When you defeated a horde of goblins with a single swing, I thought, ‘This is the kind of person who guards a the abandoned town.
Not just me, but all the people here.'”

“What ………?”

“And I thought, ‘Well, who knows? Who do we follow to survive from here on out?’ I’m sure we all thought that, in that battle.
So I wrote my résumé.
We’re available.
At least protect the women and children while you’re in the dungeon?”

I noticed that the people around me were also paying attention.
Huh, I see.

That’s unexpected, but.
They have the fields and the manpower I need.
I’ll expand our store lineup, and it will be just fine.

Unexpected, but not troubling.
The Shingen community is about 1,000 people.
I think as a company and as a market.
The company is good.
If we use people well, we can feed them.
Better yet, build a market in an abandoned town, and people will be surprised.

Takeda Shingen will kneel.
Not if you’re playing a strategy simulation game.
Shingen’s ‘cavalry’ skill is also useful.

“It would be good.
Eh~ Takeda Shingen? There doesn’t seem to be a photo attached.
I think you underestimate the interview, don’t you?”

I cough coherently and give him a warning.
I’m such a gentle interviewer.

“Don’t be silly! You can’t get a photo in this day and age!”

“I’ll call you later to let you know if I’m hiring.
By the way, do you know the kanji for prayer?”

I cough and smirk at him.

“You’re trying to pick a fight, aren’t you?”

As I parry Shingen’s fists, Sakimori ponders what to do now.

First of all, yes, let’s teach him how to hunt big rats.

“Umm, mansion? I want to eat too.”

Ooki-kun was lying on the ground with a rope wrapped around him, but everyone left him alone since it was his punishment for being reckless.
