Because I've Been Reincarnated as the Piggy Duke, This Time I Will Say I Like You Chapter 116

“Wahahaha !!!! So this is the Piggy Duke huh!!!! Isn’t this just another beautified person?! And what’s this! What a fat tummy!”

“Wahahaha what’s with that!”

Looking at that certain person depicted from a handbill that is posted all over the city.

I know he’s gone missing, but I didn’t think this handbill searching for him was even in the city of the Free Federation.

 “Hmm?” 

“Wait, whose handbill are you talking about?”

“Of course! It’s the Slow Denning, that Piggy Duke!”

“Haha, so funny! I wonder why is he so famous!”

 Alicia walking next door was groaning and groaning every time she saw the girls flocking to the order book of Piggy Duke. 

She didn’t like the fact that he was getting all the attention. At first, it was jealousy? But now? I can’t understand, because Alicia has a strange twist around her.

 It’s like even God won’t dare to mention such a topic.

And you can’t force her to be involved in these topics that aren’t forcibly related to her.

“So he’s that Slow Denning, and he’s also a dragon slayer? It seems that there are only a few dragon slayers in the north. Rumour has it that one of the reasons the empire lowered soldiers was the birth of dragon slayers.”

“This is stupid! The empire can’t lower their soldiers just to give thanks to that Mr. Slow Piggy!  That’s just i-m-p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e!”

“Well…”

 A monster attack that struck the magic school we were attending.

 Among them, my classmate who vividly defeated the most troublesome monster, the dragon. 

 The third son of the Duke of Denning, a nobleman of Darris, and a pig.

 That Slow Denning subdued the dragon and became a hero.

 I still can’t believe it.

 I knew that he was on a diet, just so he could work hard to get rid of his bad publicity.

But now, he is suddenly a Dragon Slayer?!

“Besides that, what are we going to do now? This ain’t a joke. What do you think you can win there?”

 The casino in the corner of the City Universe was as strong as rumored.

 Full of glittering lights and people dressed in wealthy clothes, Alicia was drunk in the atmosphere of the place and instantly became ill-mannered, borrowing money from me and running for gambling.

 Well, I can’t use the veto because Alicia is in debt …

So I rolled up some money for the princess.

Well … as you can imagine. My idea was that I don’t think she has a gambling talent.

But maybe the economy was good, or the empire dropped troops, and it made me feel good, the casino gave us the stunning money back for a few days.

 “Hmm … sorry.”

“I’m going to dive into the dungeon as an adventurer and earn money.”

“— I will be an adventurer too! It seems that there are many dungeons around here in the Universe! I will become an adventurer and make a lot of money!”

“It will happen after all … But you haven’t even registered with the Adventurer’s Guild yet, right?”

“Uh … that’s right.”

“Then, go back to the country. Are you the princess of Circista? You don’t bother to be an adventurer … Oh yes yes! That was bad …”

 Why Alicia doesn’t want to go back to Circista, it seems that it is because of the stories my parents used to tell me about the marriages with the influential people of Circista whenever I used to go home.

 I think it was five or six years ago that the Sarkista changed from a royal system to a republican system.

 In other words, Alicia and Alicia’s brother and sister are the last royal family. Well, they don’t have any power, just the name left.

 A famous but poor royal family with a portable shrine, who left only the name so that they could marry a rich man or an influential person.

 Suddenly the position disappeared, and Alicia and others went back and forth.

 I’ve even heard rumours that the great aristocrat Denning is also reviewing his relationship with the Sarkista royal family lately. The reason Denning was married to the royal family of Sarkista was to make a connection with the army. Alicia now has no such power or connection anymore. And I sympathize with the situation, but Alicia gets angry as soon as she hears about it.

 Alicia is such an annoying girl, I understand her feelings but is awkward to handle.

“Did you take Loco Moco’s magic exercise class? He seemed to be an adventurer before becoming a royal knight, and he taught me various magic skills which were useful in the dungeon during the class.”

“Uh … I haven’t taken it …”

“Well, I never took classes … Look at this for you. What kind of quest can an F-class adventurer order? Slime on the first floor of a shabby dungeon. A mountain of weirs. That’s the reality. “

 I handed over a piece of paper to Alicia.

 I came to the Adventurer’s Guild earlier, thinking that it would probably be like this. For the time being, as a senior adventurer, I have to tell her what an F-class quest looks like.

 Alicia is watching the quest as if to bite into it.

“ Well, which one?”

 “What is an F-class?”

[F-class adventurer subjugation quest: slime touch reward 500 yen]

[You who have become adventurers. Don’t think about suddenly diving into the dungeon. A dungeon is a dangerous place. First, let’s touch the slime that will be near the entrance of the dungeon. If you feel slimy, you are in the dungeon! ]

Ahhh… That’s nostalgic!

 Oh yeah, F-class and newcomers are like this, but there are quite a few people who can’t achieve even such a quest because they’re scared of the monsters they see for the first time.

 When I first dived into the dungeon, I was surprised.

 “Now, how about it Alicia?”

“What’s this! 500 coins…  is that even a child’s pocket money?!”

“… Ah, over there?”

 I angrily rolled up the paper and slammed it on the ground where the princess was.
