BXBX NOVEL Chapter 128: Tittis Stocking Up
Chapter 128: Titti\'s Stocking Up
A small room in the center of the 2nd Underground Floor has been repurposed into Luganda Dungeon’s first-aid room.
Titti, who was once vilified as a villainous prostitute, a wench who deceives men, is now doing her best as a healer here.
[There, good to go. The wound is closed, but it will open up if you push yourself too hard. Take a rest from today’s exploration.]
[Thank you very much, Dr. Titti.]
Titti absentmindedly saw off the adventurer whose wounds she healed.
[Dr. Titti huh……]
Compared to when she was called Queen Consort, she lives a much more modest life now.
She sometimes self-deprecatingly says that she has fallen from grace, but deep down, Titti feels that her current peaceful life isn’t so bad.
Titti had certainly changed.
Since her exile to Luganda, living with Marco, and becoming a healer in the dungeon, she has changed.
(Well, I still end up troubling Marco just like before though…..)
She has no ability to cook and do laundry, and is solely dependent on Marco for her livelihood.
It’s not that she wasn’t eager to learn.
However, when she tries cleaning, things only get dirtier than before.
When she cooks, she wastes a lot of food.
(Even though I’m good at making poisons, why is this happening?)
Marco cheered her up, telling Titti that people have things they are good and not good with, so she doesn’t have to worry about it, but she still feels guilty about it.
She was the same way even back in the past.
Today is a rare day in which she had few patients.
Titti felt a little bored with nothing to do, so she got up from her chair and stretched her body.
She was in a room of about 40 square meters, with murals of various golems on the walls on both sides and an oddly shaped statue in front.
A closer description of it would be that it was a statue of a rhinoceros head on a human body.
The statue of the rhinoceros-like creature, with its seemingly perverted eyes, stands erect and immobile.
Titti often looked at this statue when she was bored.
[It sure is ugly……]
As she said this, Titti crawled her fingers over its rhinoceros horn.
Unlike most rhinoceroses, its horn is covered with numerous warts, large and small.
[If it weren’t for these, its face would have at least been a little more discernible. Hmmm…… I wonder if I can get these off?]
As such a thought came into her mind, Titti put all her strength into her hands and twisted its horn.
Thereupon, the horn twisted to the side, and the rhinoceros’ mouth, which had been tightly shut, snapped open.
[Oh my, it got even uglier! Unnn, what’s that?]
Driven by curiosity, Titti picked into the mouth and found a small piece of carefully folded paper.
It seemed to be very old, as the paper was very damaged.
Wondering if there might be something important on it, Titti carefully opened it to see.
[This is…… a map? Moreover, these letters, they’re ancient script. I think Sister could have read this……]
She had only been playing around back in her school days, so she wasn’t able to perfectly read it.
However, Titti could at least skim through the words she recognized.
[Temple…… was it for an enshrined God? Underground…… 6th floor, golden golem statue…… A golden golem statue!]
Titti was convinced that she had obtained a treasure map.
However, the 6th Underground Floor was a dangerous place.
Titti may be an excellent mage, but even she couldn’t easily handle such a place by herself.
[However, If I were to get my hands on this……]
Although no one was in the room, Titti carefully tucked the map away in her pocket, making sure it wasn’t seen by others.
Yuusuke POV
After the busy morning hours, Titti came in alone.
[Welcome. It sure is rare to see you here alone.]
[W- Well, it’s just one of those days……]
Titti does come to my shop, but she would most often be accompanied by Marco.
There should have been no precedent of her coming alone.
I know she’s already reformed, but I’ve had some bad experiences with her in the past, so I couldn’t help raising my guard a bit.
[Are you going to the first-aid station afterwards?]
[Yes. I thought of stocking up some snacks for use there……]
Titti’s hands didn’t rest as she replied, putting one snack in her basket after another.
That’s quite an extraordinary amount she’s getting.
10-rim gums, large round candies, umaibos, stick chocolates, and other items are all in her basket one end to the other.
[Oi, oi, what’s going on? You look like you’re about to head off for a subjugation mission.]
[I’m just buying a little more. Do you not have any Monster Card Chips anymore?]
[Yeah, just hold on a sec.]
The shelves were out of stock, so I took a box out from the back.
[While you’re at it, how about some of these? It’s a popular item right now.]
Product name: Barley Chocolates 666
Description: It contains 666 grains of barley chocolate. Eating it gives one’s skin a cool tan. It also supplements your Vitamin D. With one bag of this, you won’t need to go to the tanning salon anymore!
Price: 100 rims
Since adventurers spend most of their days in the dungeon, many of them look pale.
This is why this snack is so popular, especially among the young adventurers.
[How about trying out tanning too, Titti? I think you can pull up the old gyaru-style.]
[What’s that “gyaru”? Anyhow, I don’t need snacks with that kind of magic effect. I want dagashis that will supplement my fighting ability.]
[Why?]
Even though Titti should have been doing nothing but healing work at the first-aid station lately……
Innread.com ].
[I- I just wanna move my muscles sometimes! Can you stop asking all these questions? I’m gonna tell Michelle about this.]
I don’t know what she’s going to tell me on about, but I don’t want any trouble.
This person is cunning, and Michelle is a deeply jealous person.
I decided to quickly avoid the mess and just settle her bill.
[Yeah, yeah, that’s a total of 3020 rims.]
[Here, that should do it.]
The amount became so high that it didn’t seem like she bought dagashis, but Titti left the money and quickly departed.
Then, the incident happened.

Barley Chocolate 666: Dunno if that “666” part was based on an IRL dagashi, but here’s a pic of the barley chocolate.
