Chapter 307
“H-Hey . ”
At night, inside VIlla De Edge .
To celebrate their help, I brought Emily and Celeste over to have a drink .
“Hm? What is it?” (Ryouta)
“There’s something I would like to confirm… . About Tennessine, is that your doing?”
I thought for a moment before nodding gently .
“Yeah, that’s right . ” (Ryouta)
“I-I see . Thank you for clearing things up . ”
After the adventurer was convinced, I went back to the table where my friends were waiting .
“How was it?”
“He said that he did it by will . ”
“I knew it . Ah, that means the other party did something horrible then . ”
“I’m sure . Let’s hope it doesn’t come to me . ”
Listening to their conversation, I got the gist of things .
“Hook, line and sinker . ” (Ryouta)
“I think it exceeded your expectations . ” (Celeste)
Smiling sweetly, Celeste picked up her glass and drank the beer .
“What do you mean?” (Ryouta)
“We’re talking about those people who approached Ryouta-san just now . I’m sure a few other adventurers have picked it up . ” (Celeste)
“I see . ” (Ryouta)
I looked around us .
There were some who immediately avoided eye contact with me, but some were happily laughing .
“I see what you mean . ” (Ryouta)
“I’m sure that tomorrow… . . No, it’s going to spread like wildfire by the end of the day . ” (Celeste)
“Rumours spread the fastest nanodesu . ” (Emily)
“That’s right . Let’s hope that they’ll stop that human sacrifice plan . ” (Ryouta)
I spoke with the intent of them listening .
Not to loud, but not emphasizing what I meant .
All I want is for the rumours to spread nicely .
And sure enough, the mood in the bar has a different kind of voice today .
Well, I did what I could .
“Once again . Thank you for your help, Emily, Celeste . ” (Ryouta)
“Your welcome nanodesu . ” (Emily)
“It’s barely anything . We’re a family, and we’re friends, so of course we will do what we can to help out . There’s no need for any thanks or anything . ” (Celeste)
“I see, then I’ll say my thanks here . ” (Ryouta)
To grant her wish, I genuinely said my thanks to them, and we all clank our beer glasses together before drinking and talking happily .

“Aren’t you all late? And how do I say this? Up all night drinking?” (Aurum)
“Aurum, and Nihonium . ” (Ryouta)
When we returned home, the two spirits were at the corridor .
Seems like they soaked in longer than usual, so they’re still up and awake .
Especially Nihonium who had her hair up, it gives off an adult feel .
I also gave up even retorting Aurum who mentioned that we were fooling around till midnight, as she seems to be enjoying that manner of speaking .
“Did the both of you just came out of the bathroom?” (Ryouta)
“Yep . Baths are nice aren’t they . If I knew about their existence, I would’ve escaped the dungeon even earlier . Well, I wouldn’t have been able to do that if Ryouta didn’t come anyways . ” (Aurum)
“Of course taking baths are nice, but let me say this . If it’s not for Emily, I don’t think you would feel as you are right now . ” (Ryouta)
“I see~” (Aurum)
Aurum hit her palm lightly and nodded .
On the other hand, Nihonium did not say a single word .
I did ask Aurum to take care of her . But is it really alright… . .
“Since you went and drink, it means that the job at Tennessine was a success . ” (Aurum)
“For now . We did what we could . ” (Ryouta)
I briefly explained the situation to her .
While showing non verbal cues of agreeing and giving some interjections, she listened till the very end .
“Does the drop not disappear?” (Aurum)
“Drop?” (Ryouta)
“Remember what happened that time . ” (Aurum)
“… . Ahhh . ” (Ryouta)
When she mentioned that, a flashback occurred .
Since there was a case where an adventurer overworked and feel unconscious in Aurum Dungeon, so Aurum had to limit the drop during night time .
This and that happened which led to Aurum being here at night .
“I see, if I can meet with the spirit—–Or Tennessine more specifically, I can ask them to change the settings for the drop . ” (Ryouta)
“Yep . If we tell them about this, I’m sure they would need to do something about it . ” (Aurum)
“Fumu……” (Ryouta)
I rubbed my chin and thought of some possibilities .
That might actually work .
“I can’t confused Tennessine . All we need is to do something to get through the current first floor . We can’t do something confusing like what Rebecca did to Neon dungeon . ” (Ryouta)
“If that’s the case . ” (Aurum)
Aurum then pushed Nihonium who has been hiding behind her back this whole time .
“Eh?” (Ryouta)
“You can just ask Nihonium to do it . ” (Aurum)
“Ask Nihonium?” (Ryouta)
“Did you forget her power? Her Dungeon Master is good enough to solve your problems . ” (Aurum)
“…… . . Right . ” (Ryouta)
It’s as what Aurum said .
Nihonium’s Dungeon Master .
When a typical Dungeon Master appears, no other monsters will appear .
And Nihonium’s Dungeon Master goes one step further, the entire drop in Shikuro just disappears .
You can say Nihonium controls Shikuro .
Which means that she can stop Tennessine’s drop all together .
And since it’s not Tennessine who’s doing it, so if some adventurer with Tennessine couldn’t do anything .
“You’re right, that’s effective . ” (Ryouta)
“I know right~” (Aurum)
Aurum was proud of herself .
She patted her chest, and the bathing clothes were slightly shaking…… Ehem .
Now that hand is effective, no doubt .
However .
“Let’s stop that . ” (Ryouta)
“……Eh?” (Aurum)
“Well . ” (Ryouta)
A light decopin was attached to Aurum who seemed to be dissatisfied .
She furrowed her eyebrows and looks at me more regretfully .
“Did you forget about it? My plan was to get rid of that power from her . But now we’re asking her to use it?” (Ryouta)
“Aah… . . ” (Aurum)
Aurum seems to have remembered .
Yeah, that’s not good .
I want to eliminate that power, but we need that power because it’s convenient .
So yeah, let’s do it properly .
Even though I let Aurum help me, but I still want to do things right with Nihonium .
“I’m sorry for running my mouth so early . ” (Aurum)
“It’s not me you should apologize—” (Ryouta)
I pointed at Nihonium with my chin .
Aurum nodded .
“Sorry Nihonium . ” (Aurum)
“… . . I-It’s fine . ” (Nihonium)
Nihonium gently closes her eyes and shook her head slightly .
As if saying it doesn’t bother her, she gently smiled .
She took it well, an adult-like smile .
When I thought that I want to really help her .
“Let me do it . ” (Nihonium)
“…… . Huh?” (Ryouta)
I was surprised by the unexpected offer she made .
Nihonium continued to smile to me .
“Thank you so much . ” (Nihonium)
She said heartfully .
“And that’s why . ”
I felt like I heard her inner thoughts .
“Allow me to do it . ” (Nihonium)
She said, eyes filled with determination .
