#25

“That means, hehe, Lady Zoe will also become a member of our Antragons right away.”

“…What?”

You want me to become an ant?

As I was imagining myself as an ant, a Quest completion window popped up.

[<System> Congratulations! You have completed the ‘Reclaim the Antragons’ Home!’ Quest.]

-Reward: Loyalty of the Antragorn Clan. You are now a member of the Antragorn Clan!

-Special Reward: Glass bottle containing the Guardian’s magic power (If you sprinkle the magic power contained in this bottle in the dungeon, the dungeon will become self-sustaining.)

Crazy… Did I really become a member of the Antragons?

Moreover, the wicked system even gave me a special reward for once.

If I sprinkle the magic power contained in the glass bottle, the dungeon becomes self-sustaining… it says.

Then, if I sprinkle this, will the dungeon’s ecosystem return to its original state?

As I stared blankly into space (or rather, at the system window), Quintilla quickly seized the opportunity to continue speaking.

“Then, I’ll take that as acceptance. Please take care of us from now on, Antragorn 0.”

“Ah, yes… Yes? No, wait… That’s!”

Quintilla left the dining room before I could even finish speaking.

“What did she say?”

Ruan looked at me and asked quietly.

“Well, Quintilla asked me to become rank 0 of the Antragorn clan. As expected, she recognized outstanding talent like a true queen.”

“Zoe is really popular with monsters.”

Ruan’s eyes sharpened again as he said that.

Ugh, I’m going to get in trouble, I’m going to get in trouble…

But what was he trying to ask me earlier…

Somehow afraid to ask, I deliberately avoided Ruan’s gaze.

-A mere human becoming one of us. You should know it’s an honor.

-That’s right! Zoe, from now on you’re our doormat!

The Antragons glared at me threateningly as I became one of their members.

These guys are already acting territorial?

Wait, I’m rank 0. Then I have the highest rank among the Antragorn clan, don’t I?

Hehe… I think I need to establish some discipline here.

I crossed my arms and continued speaking with a triumphant attitude.

“Oh my, kids, did you forget that Lady Quintilla called me Antragorn 0? Even though I’m new, I have the highest rank among you all. So from now on, you better treat Number 0 well, okay?”

-Ugh, what’s with that damn expression? So annoying I could die!

-What! A human having higher rank than us, that’s ridiculous!

Hehe, so this is the taste of power.

As I giggled and savored the taste of power, Ruan looked at me with a pathetic expression from the side.

“What. What is it. Got a problem?”

“No, how could I have any complaints with the great Number 0?”

Ruan, I saw everything. I saw the corners of your mouth going up.

I shot Ruan a charismatic rank 0 glare, then went outside.

“Oh, sprouts really did grow?”

When I opened the glass bottle containing the Guardian’s magic power and sprinkled it around the dungeon, sprouts really began growing everywhere and resources were regenerated.

Then large and small monsters also began to appear again.

Is this what self-purification means…

Honestly, I felt a bit conflicted about the monsters that get eaten by stronger ones, wondering what wrong they did, but I decided to just leave it to the natural flow of the ecosystem.

Yeah, this is right. I shouldn’t view nature from a human perspective…

“Is this also Zoe’s ability?”

Ruan, who witnessed this scene right before his eyes, asked in amazement.

“Ah… Um, well… No. I just happened to pick this up on the way here, and I tried sprinkling it just in case, and this happened? Hahaha.”

As I babbled nonsense trying to brush it off, Ruan’s eyes narrowed.

Ha, just let it slide, please.

Would he believe me if I said the game system gave it as a Quest completion reward…? Huh…?

“I see. Zoe is lucky.”

Without the suspicious look in his eyes disappearing, Ruan muttered calmly.

Please put away that sharp gaze? I’m so scared.

Looking closely, Ruan had a huge gap between when he smiled and when he was expressionless. Maybe it’s because his eyes are upturned.

“Haha, right. How do I keep picking up exactly what I need…”

But now that I said it, it really was strange.

Doesn’t it seem like the system keeps giving me exactly what I want as rewards at just the right times? Am I imagining it…

Well, this is inside a game and I’m a player, so it’s probably for smooth game progression, right?

I tried to suppress the sudden doubt and soon started walking.

“Ruan, shall we go now? Quintilla said it’s okay to leave now.”

“…Yes.”

Ruan, who had been deep in thought with his head down, followed behind me.

Haah… What a long day.
