Highschool DxD: I have a Dimensional Travel System

Chapter 205 - Ryuu: I'm Really Bad At Communication

Of course, Ryuu didn't know Syr's true identity, so in her eyes Syr had always been a cute and kind girl who liked to think about others.

Moreover, Syr was Ryuu's savior.

Therefore, when she noticed that Syr's mood was a little low, she approached Mahiro to ask for details.

"How could I possibly mind?"

Mahiro said with a gentle smile, "Actually, I'm quite happy to see Syr angry."

"..."

Ryuu looked at Mahiro in confusion.

Is there something wrong with this person? He actually likes seeing Syr angry?

Ryuu suddenly felt the urge to teach this guy a lesson.

"I came to Orario by myself, and I was able to meet a friend who worries about me."

"Isn't that a happy thing?"

Seeing Ryuu's expression shift, Mahiro quickly explained with a smile.

"I see."

Ryuu suddenly felt a sense of shame for her earlier impulse.

I'm really bad at communication. 

I almost misunderstood this man whom Syr thinks so highly of.

Ryuu sighed inwardly, feeling a little sorry for Mahiro.

However, she didn't know how to apologize.

Mahiro, unaware of the delicate thoughts running through the blonde elf's mind, would have found it quite amusing.

"Syr really didn't misjudge you. You're a good person, worthy of trust."

Ryuu looked at the smile on Mahiro's face and couldn't help but sigh.

Mahiro: "..."

Suddenly receiving a good person card was a bit awkward. 

"Miss Ryuu, do you know what kind of things Syr likes?"

Mahiro asked.

You!

Ryuu almost blurted out the word but quickly composed herself and asked, "Why do you ask?"

"Well, since I made her angry, I should apologize. Bringing a gift would make it more sincere."

Mahiro joked, "Once Syr accepts my present, she won't be able to stay mad at me."

"It seems she likes delicate jewelry," Ryuu said uncertainly. "When Syr and I go shopping, she often pays attention to small trinkets at the stalls."

"Delicate jewelry... got it. Thank you, Miss Ryuu."

"You're welcome."

"If Syr finds out, she'll be very happy."

Ryuu gave a rare smile.

It had to be said that Ryuu embodied the beauty typical of elves.

Especially at this moment, her usually cold demeanor softened, like snow melting in spring, radiating warmth and brightness.

An adventurer who walked into the Hostess of Fertility at that moment was stunned by her smile.

"Then I'll get back to work."

Noticing the adventurer's gaze, Ryuu immediately reverted to her usual cold expression and shot him a frosty glare.

The adventurer, who had been grinning foolishly, shivered as if struck by an icy spear and quickly retreated from the tavern.

***

The next day.

Waking up early, Mahiro instinctively checked the system panel.

The main quest had been completed.

However, since the quest was relatively simple, the rewards were minimal: only 100 points, which felt almost negligible.

But when Mahiro looked at Main Quest 6: Fame in Orario, he was surprised.

===

Main Quest 6: Fame in Orario

Completion: 16,522/1,000,000

===

"Over 10,000 reputation points in one night?"

Mahiro was astonished.

"Could it be because of what happened yesterday?"

He quickly deduced the reason.

Reputation points were tied to popularity.

Overnight, without realizing it, he had gained so much fame.

It had to be related to the confrontation with the Loki at the Guild yesterday.

Seeing such a boost in reputation point first thing in the morning was a pleasant surprise, and Mahiro's mood lifted.

So After breakfast, Mahiro prepared to head to the Dungeon.

Yesterday, he had spent a long time gathering information about the Dungeon. 

Today, he was ready to embark on a proper adventure.

With no modern entertainment in the city, Mahiro had been going to bed early and waking up early.

Leaving the Hostess of Fertility, Mahiro squinted as he gazed into the distance.

The sun had yet to rise, but a faint glow on the horizon hinted at the approaching dawn.

The chirping of birds echoed clearly, and dewdrops on the leaves sparkled as they fell.

The crisp morning air filled the sky and earth, enveloping the circular city of Orario in a serene atmosphere.

Mahiro's destination was clear: Babel at the city's center, the entrance to the Dungeon.

Every adventurer entering the Dungeon had to pass through its elevators.

Yes, elevators.

A somewhat modern convenience.

However, there were no generators in this world.

In this world, the energy source replacing electricity was Magic Stones.

Magic Stones were items dropped by monsters after adventurers defeated them.

These stones contained incredible power and could be used to create various Magic Stone products.

Using the energy within Magic Stones, people had developed many conveniences comparable to modern technology.

For example, ignition devices functioned like gas stoves, freezers preserved food like refrigerators, and even elevators operated using Magic Stones.

Processed with human ingenuity, Magic Stones were utilized in countless ways, making this seemingly backward era just as convenient as modern times.

As a result, Magic Stones were highly valuable resources. 

Orario exported Magic Stone products to other countries, generating immense profits for the Guild that managed the city.

Adventurers could exchange Magic Stones obtained in the Dungeon for Valis at the Guild, with the price determined by the stone's size and color.
