Chapter 108
The next day, Aurum dungeon first floor .
I was watching over Cliff hunting monsters .
It was still slightly awkward, but he was starting to get used to it .
Given enough time, he would be able to hunt for himself .
To be able to rescue someone who was caught in a Black company, I was relieved and satisfied .
We are done with Cliff’s business, thus we should head back to Shikuro after coming out the dungeon .
I thought that the time has come .
Inside the dungeon, a bell was ringing .
It was a clear tone, and it sounded like the bell was specifically made out of gold .
A gold bell that was made from the gold that was dropped by Aurum dungeon .
The bell was a mechanism to notify when adventurers have used up their time and should leave the dungeon .
Cliff who heard it had just defeated the monster, picked the gold dust and returned to my side .
[Good work out there, how was it?] (Ryouta)
[Better than yesterday… . ] (Cliff)
While saying that, Cliff showed me the gold dust on the palm of his hand .
As he had said so, the amount had exceeded compared to yesterday’s drops .
Being at maxed level and Mineral at C, plus Aurum had double the drop rate after defeating the hidden boss .
It can be said that it was normal in a certain sense .
[That’s good then . ] (Ryouta)
[It really is thanks to Ryouta . ] (Cliff)
[Don’t worry about it . ] (Ryouta)
Because I was once in a Black company, I can’t just overlook someone suffering from it too .
The scenery around us continuously changed while taking about such things .
Each time making Cliff surprised .
[Well, rogue dungeons are a troublesome thing, as the whereabouts would change every time an adventurer comes in . ](Ryouta)
[I, I guess it’s that kind of thing . ] (Cliff)
[It’ll be convenient once you start getting used to it, look . ] (Ryouta)
The moment I finished saying, we were sent to the entrance of the dungeon and we could see new adventurers lining up for their turn to enter the dungeon .
[If your timing is good then it is possible to leave without doing anything . ] (Ryouta)
[It’s so convenient . ] (Cliff)
[Ryouta!]
Suddenly I heard my name being called, and at the same time someone hugged me .
Furthermore, the scenery around me changed and I was flown into somewhere unknown .
I didn’t know who was cuddling me so I calmly judged the situation and saw the one hugging me so suddenly .
[Margaret . ] (Ryouta)
[It has been awhile since we last met . ] (Margaret)
It was that Margaret, the Princess of the Air .
As usual, the atmosphere around her was fluffy with her elegant, and beautifully dressed Princess dress .
[Likewise, so what’s wrong?] (Ryouta)
[I’ve heard rumours of a new dungeon and I’m glad that I came as I could meet with Ryouta, because I have something to show to Ryouta . ] (Margaret)
[What do you wanna show?] (Ryouta)
Margaret then went around searching for something, and when she saw the K-I-A board, she immediately went towards it .
After operating it, I went close to her .
The status board was displayed, and she looked at me with her fluffy smile .
[It was thanks to Ryouta that I’m finally like this!] (Margaret)

[Wooow!] (Ryouta)
What was displayed was what I’d expected, when her level is capped at 99 her Drop would all be A .
The status was exactly the same type as mine right after I came to this world .
☆
Aurum Dungeon, First Floor .
I was watching the battle of Margaret .
They were the 4 men that was always with her .
The four of them made me see Margaret as a Princess because they resembled that of knights supporting her .
The four of them attacked the little devil, showing their outstanding combination by chasing the little devil and weakening it .
[Princess . ]
One of the four turned back and called out for Margaret .
Margaret nodded, dragged the same heavy sword when I first met and head towards the little devil that was being restrained like a naughty toddler by the four men .
The gold dust was dropped briskly because of her A Drop .
The Margaret Family .
That phrase naturally emerged in my head .
Being an All F for battling, but having All A for Drops, Margaret’s tactic was different as she needed her knights to weakened and give her the finishing blow .
That was the status of Margaret and her appearance .
It was a totally different battle tactic compared to the Neptune and our Ryouta family, but I was convinced just by looking at her for a while .
Margaret then went towards the next monster .
[………… . ] (Cliff)
Suddenly, I looked at Cliff seemingly staring at Margaret without mentioning anything from a little while ago .
[What’s wrong, your expression looks sharp . ] (Ryouta)
[That… . . is that fine?] (Cliff)
[Hmm?] (Ryouta)
[Isn’t that, making it look exactly like how I fight… . ] (Cliff)
[… . . Aaah . ] (Ryouta)
I see so that’s what he meant .
The men around her was weakening the monster and letting her deal the final blow .
Certainly, it may be the same as Cliff’s way of doing things .
[……] (Cliff)
Cliff’s facial expression was not excellent as he remembered his past self from watching it .
I thought that I had to say something .
After defeating the next little devil, Margaret picked up the dropped gold dust, and went to her knights .
[Yes, Rat, Social, Play, Builder . ] (Margaret) (TLN: I assume their names=their roles)
After calling their names, she presented the gold dust quarterly to the four of them .
[ [ [ [ Thank you for giving us such happiness] ] ] ]
Whether the four of them were genuine knights, but the four of them kneeled together and took the gold dust from Margaret .
It reminded me of a scene where the knights had no complains and gladly accepted whatever the Princess offers .
[Eeh……] (Cliff)
Cliff was puzzled by it .
[She…gives it to them . ] (Cliff)
[Margaret treats her men differently from how your Captain treats you . ] (Ryouta)
[Th, that’s true . But why… . . ] (Cliff)
[Ryouta!] (Margaret)
While Cliff was puzzled, Margaret who handed the gold dust to the knights came over to me and hugged me again .
She clung to my waist as if to tackle me, and looked up to me, showing her bosom .
[Did you watch my battle just now?] (Margaret)
[Yeah, I see that you can do it . ] (Ryouta)
[It’s all thanks to Ryouta~] (Margaret)
[How about them?] (Ryouta)
[They are from my Family . When I told them about my status they gladly helped me in fighting . ] (Margaret)
[So they came from there . ] (Ryouta)
[Yeah . ] (Margaret)
[And the action of giving the drops?] (Ryouta)
[I was imitating Ryouta~] (Margaret)
[Un?] (Ryouta)
[Eh?] (Cliff)
While I titled my head, at the same time Cliff heard that and was surprised that he raised his voice .
[It is all thanks to Ryouta that I managed to get to what I am right now . Ryouta who generously helped me, I’m merely imitating it . ] (Margaret)
[I have not done anything that great… . ] (Ryouta)
[That is wrong!] (Margaret)
She stopped hugging me and took a step while looking up at me with a strong figure .
Her elegant face was filled with her elegance aura——her atmosphere was drifting .
[It’s thanks to Ryouta, not matter who they are——even if is Ryouta who said so, I will continue to say that I’m indebted to Ryouta . ] (Margaret)
[… . . I see, then thank you too . ] (Ryouta)
[Then… . . uhmm… . ] (Margaret)
[Yeah?] (Ryouta)
[I want to add Ryouta’s family into my family . ] (Margaret)
[My family?] (Ryouta)
Was she saying that as a subsidiary, or as a subordinate?
[Unfortunately, i cannot fight alone . If I do not have them I would not be able to do anything by myself . Thus, please let me add this family to Ryouta’s family . ] (Margaret)
[I see . If that’s the case—–I welcome you . ] (Ryouta)
[Thank you so much! Being under the wing of Ryouta family, The Margaret Family once again thank you and wish to do our best in the future . ] (Margaret)
Margaret was delighted and strongly hugged me .
☆
We were at the plaza after leaving the dungeon in the afternoon .
The plaza was also added as a result of earning lots of money .
Aurum Dungeon was originally in the middle of private houses, so the remnants of those private houses were removed, and a fountain was created in the middle followed by constructions of shops related to dungeon was built .
Indole was also changing to suit the dungeon, which was a good change .
Thus, I was looking at Cliff face-to-face .
[Than this is goodbye, I will return to Shikuro . If you have anything please contact me anytime . ] (Ryouta)
I guess I have finished helping Cliff for now .
With the misunderstanding of Margaret, because she was listening from the side when she confessed to me, he understood that his former captain——they were different from that elderly man .
[Ryouta… . . No, Ryouta-san . ] (Cliff)
[-san? Why so formal all of a sudden?] (Ryouta)
[I… . . please let us be under Ryouta-san’s wings too! Perhaps another two more person… . . but please… . ] (Cliff)
Two person .
Cliff’s friend, which was another colleague who has survived together with that man .
It was a declaration to save that person .
[I got it, good luck . ] (Ryouta)
[Yes! Thank you so much!] (Cliff)
Cliff started using honorific words to me completely .
He probably saw what I could do from Margaret .
Cliff felt confident that he would be able to help his companion .
