Reincarnation in Another World Starting from Bones ~The Bare Hero Rise from a Skeleton (WN): Chapter 278

 

Toilet Cleaning



 I went into the casino's restroom to change my underwear, which I had peed on, in a state of despair after losing 100 million marble on a slot machine and also losing all the free tickets to the [Crescent Moon] that Amaimon had given me.



"Oya, oya, Cedric-kun. Did you pee your pants?


 It smells like urine!"



 As soon as I entered the bathroom, a devil wearing a flashy suit that appeared to be made in Italy in the 1990s, who was cleaning the toilet, spoke to me.



"Cedric-kun?"


"Oya, oya, have you forgotten already?


 Even though I am the father who created you?"


"Don't say that! It's true that I was born in the Amru Dungeon that you created, but I'm not a human born from your seed!"



 For some reason, I answered Amaimon, who was cleaning the toilets at the casino.



"Are you in a rebellious period?"


"Do I look like I’m at an age for that period?"


"You're still full of Chuunibyou though!"


"Don't say that!"


"You better change your underwear soon!


 It smells like urine!"


"I know!"



 I quickly enter the private bathroom to change my underwear.



"I just cleaned that private room, so please don’t mess it up!"


"I'm not gonna mess it up!"



 I change my pants, being very careful not to pee.



"Now that I remember it, have you been to [Crescent Moon] yet?"


"I haven't! I lost my free coupons to the casino, and all my money, too!"


"Are you an idiot? I took the trouble to encourage you!"


"I'm not an idiot! My brain is back!"



 I walked out of the restroom and threw my wet underwear in the trash.



"You didn't have a brain?"



 Amaimon asked curiously.



"Yeah. I don't one! It was just a skeleton a while ago! Sorry about that!"



 I answer while washing my hands which smell like urine.



"It's not bad though. Cedric-kun is so funny!"


"You're so annoying! Instead of that, just return me to the Amru Dungeon!"



 I asked Amaimon while wiping my hands on my clothes.



"I don't want to! Cedric-kun, did you accomplish something on the southern continent?"


"Well, I used 100,000,000 at the casino…"



 I told him about the feat I had just accomplished.



"Does that count as an accomplishment?"


"Yes, it does! I lost a lot of money!"


"Then, I refuse to return you to the Amru dungeon!"



 Amaimon answered happily for some reason.



"W... wait! By the way, I've made it to the 10th place in the guild ranking!"



 I answer what I remember.



"Oh! That’s amazing! 80 points!


 However, you still lack 20 points to return to Amru Dungeon!"


"What's that? Do I have to earn a total of 100 points to return to Amru Dungeon?"


"Yes. If you earn 100 points, I'll show you where the Amru Dungeon is!"


"I hope you're not going to tell me that the Amru Dungeon isn't on the southern continent!"


"It's definitely within the southern continent, and moreover, within the territory of the [Jet Black Forest]!"


"In that case it's fine"



 I feel relieved.


 I didn't want to be able to return to the Amru dungeon without using some special teleportation magic, and if the Amru dungeon was normally located within the southern continent, I would be able to visit the southern continent whenever I wanted.



"Then, if you accomplish something on the southern continent, please let me know!


 I'm usually here at 6:30 in the morning, 9:30, 11:30, 14:30, 17:30, 20:30, or 23:30!"


"I should come when Amaimon's name is written on the toilet cleaning shift chart over there, right?"


"Did you find out?"


"Well, anyone would know if you were wearing rain boots, holding a deck brush, and cleaning the toilet!"


"Do you think I'm a bit of a loser? I may look like this, but I'm a great devil!"


"I know. But in the southern continent, you work as a toilet cleaner at a casino, right?


 Looks like you're a subordinate of the Great Demon King Gabriel Goto Tupesh!"


"Well, that's right. I'm an intruding devil, so it can't be helped!"



 Amaimon replies, unconcerned.


 It seems like he has no pride as a great devil.



 As we were talking,



 Uwaaaーーー!



 Cheers could be heard coming from the casino outside the restroom.



"Looks like someone hit the jackpot!"



 Amaimon grinned.



"No way..."



 I part ways with Amaimon and head to Shiro.



 As expected, a lot of onlookers gathered around the slot machine where Shiro and I were just a moment ago.



 I pushed through the onlookers and went to Shiro.



"Master! I tried it just once, and I hit the jackpot!"


"I guess."



 Surrounding Shiro are piles of high-value chips that look like something out of a manga.


 G-Demons, casino employees are protecting the chips so that no one can take them.



 Even so,



"There is a chip left!"



 I yell at Shiro.



"I'm sorry! Master. I only kept one without giving it to you!"


"That was originally my chip!"


"Well, since I exchanged the [Crescent Moon] coupon for it, I guess you could say it was Master's chip!"


"Then, if I used that chip and spun the slot machine, I could have won!"


"Master, you can't do it, you have bad luck!


 I have never lost even once at this casino!"


"You've done it once, but this is the second time today!"


"Even if it's my second time, I'll still win!"


"Shut up! Seriously, these chips are all mine!


 You won with my chip!"


"The 100 million marble chips before that are my money!"


"What's mine is mine, and what's Shiro's is mine too!"


"Are you Gian?"


"I'm not Gian! I'm a hero who won't be punished at all even if I steal money and goods from people's drawers and pots!"


"Then, that makes sense."



 Shiro, who has a deep knowledge of Japanese RPG games, was easily convinced.
