[JJTheWeeb]

[MeePotato]

here's LN ishihara

 

[Maverun]

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Drifter]

I thought he was going to lead his own crew. No sense in acting weak if that's the case.

 

[OldGuyLogan]

I'm guessing he is holding back because he knows that the most capable will be pressured into government service which will hinder his Dungeon Buster business. Also if he's a civilian that is shown to have capabilities that could only be acquired in the dungeons, he'll be investigated and his personal dungeon and the fact that his entry triggered the other dungeons would be revealed.

 

[Syanalassa]

Yea my guess is that he wants to be thought of as capable enough to be left alone but not so capable that the govt bothers him or looks into to him to deeply

 

[Shinigamisama]

Of course, the Director is a gorgeous waifu.

 

[Aran214]

More likely than not, he's trying not to stand out, so people don't find out he has a secret training dungeon that he's controlling, that literally drops Money. That would be a big no no to any government. The story kind of hand waves it away, but if the government is as strict as the story implies, just randomly injecting 100M Yen, won't show up too easily, but that will start being a real problem once other dungeons that drop money are discovered. At least with other stories, it's "coins" or actual materials, Magical Currency Inflation would make most governments set up check points and guards at all the dungeons that drop it.

He is forming his own team, so he's also participating to scout potential members. Like obviously, if they're giving this new kid this much screen time, he's going to join. (They already foreshadowed this and who the members will be in earlier chapters. Ch7 pg 30-31, though Ishihara is obviously now going to be a government liaison.)

Spoiler: About the money part

He did some money laundering in the LN, if I'm remember correctly

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thnks for the chapter!

Spoiler: About the money part

Yeah, that happens in Chapter 7, he hands 100M off to someone to money launder through crypto money exchanges. I'm saying that it's not a long term answer. 100M of actual currency isn't that huge in such a big economy. But once you have tons of people doing it, and you have lots more money floating around than the government actually printed, it starts becoming a problem. Other stories make this not a problem, by dropping fictional money.

So the US analogue probably has a dungeon that drops 5 dollars for killing a single goblin. $5 out of 2.36T Dollars (What google says is all the US currency in circulation) is a tiny drop. 100M out of 128.8T Yen (What google reports as all the Yen in circulation)= 0.000077 % a rounding error, for a while. 10,000 Japanese Adventurers can earn 0.7% of all Japanese currency in a Month(I'm assuming he made at least 100M before the next dungeon showed up.), assuming they can all access a dungeon that drops money. Given they have a 10 year time limit, it's not a huge problem overall, but it is a problem. Like all things at scale, small problems can become real issues.

...that test... How did they measure 120kg of grip strength when the tester ends at 100kg? 10km are not a marathon.
