CH 246

Even after challenging it for almost 10 times, the floor down to the spirit’s room hasn’t appeared.

It was already evening, and I’ve used up a lot of time.

Since it can’t be helped, I just took the 2M stack of cash with me and used the Transportation Gate back to my mansion.

[Welcome back!]

[Uoo!] (Ryouta)

Inside the mansion which was shaded by the evening light, Aurum greeted me.

And a doll hugging onto her arms, Mike the Mini wiseman was there as well.

[Welcome back.] (Mike)

[I’m home. What’s with you two?] (Ryouta)

[I just wanted to say welcome home to Ryouta!] (Aurum)

Aurum was very high in tension.

[Say it to me?] (Ryouta)

[Don’t the humans say welcome back or I’m back to each other? Since Ryouta always brings me around, I don’t have the chance to say it.] (Aurum)

[I see.] (Ryouta)

It’s like a couple daringly meeting outside for a date.

[Ufufu~, because of Ryouta I had another experience~] (Aurum)

[I’m glad to hear that Aurum-sama.] (Mike)

[It’s thanks to you as well. Here’s a present!] (Aurum)

After stretching her hands out, light surrounded her hands and gold accessories appeared on Mike’s body.

Again, it increased.

A unique monster who can touch anyone and they can move to any floors and dungeon, Mike who is now a partner to Aurum.

As a thank you from Aurum, she decorated Mike with abundance of gold accessories on it.

All ten of its fingers have golden rings on it, and a full equipment looking like a 2D idol dress.

[I’m happy that you’re happy to say it.] (Ryouta)

[That’s my line. If Ryouta didn’t come to save me, I would’ve stayed in the dungeon forever.] (Aurum)

[That is true.] (Ryouta)

I nodded and smiled at Aurum.

After relieving a sigh, I went to the salon.

Aurum who was still hugging Mike followed me.

[Uuun] (Aurum)

[What’s wrong?] (Ryouta)

[Ryouta, are you feeling alright?] (Aurum)

[Aah, just something not going my way during a dungeon raid.] (Ryouta)

I lightly explained of Phosphorus to her.

[I see….] (Aurum)

[I thought I should do something about it, but it’s gonna take some time.](Ryouta)

[That will not happen.] (Aurum)

[Eh?] (Ryouta)

Aurum stopped and stood in front of me.

Then she kept staring at me.

She was quiet but her intentions were clear.

[If it’s Ryouta, you can definitely do it!] (Aurum)

[I see?] (Ryouta)

[Yes, if it’s not Ryouta then it’ll never work. I’m the proof.] (Aurum)

Saying that, she smiled sweetly.

[Because I’m here~] (Aurum)

Out of all the 118 dungeons, Aurum is here.

[Thanks.] (Ryouta)

[Again, I should be the one saying that~!] (Aurum)

Smiling at me again, she then walked side by side with me.

[Aah, Yoda-san is back desu.] (Emily)

[What’s the matter Emily?] (Ryouta)

Where the corridor was, Emily was frantically catching upt o me.

[There’s a guest looking for you nanodesu.] (Emily)

[Guest huh.] (Ryouta)

[It’s Rebecca-san nodesu.] (Emily)

[But why now…..] (Ryouta)

Rebecca・Neon, A.K.A [The・Perfect].

An adventurer with all A in stats, and having conquered one of the 118 dungeons Neon, the spirit has given her the name [Neon] to be attached to her name.

[…..Aah, alright.] (Ryouta)

Thinking about it, I looked at Aurum and Mike.

[What’s up?] (Aurum)

[I remembered a conversation. That girl was asking about {the person Aurum?}, and now that person is Mike right?] (Ryouta)

[Yes, that’s right.] (Mike)

[We might meet with a new person with the title of spirit.] (Ryouta)

[Yes desu, and Yoda-san has something to say too desu.] (Emily)

[It’s just a complaint. She said what does it mean to change without my permission.] (Ryouta)

[Better of not meeting with her desu.] (Emily)

Aurum tilted her neck slightly and asked.

[I get it….what should we do….] (Aurum)

[Should I meet with her?] (Alice)

[Wow! You’re back Alice?] (Ryouta)

Alice who suddenly spoke behind us came out.

[Yeap I’m back. It’s Rebecca Neon right. I’m interested in her.] (Alice)

[Interested?] (Ryouta)

[She’s just like me, born in a dungeon.] (Alice)

[Aah, I see…..not?] (Ryouta)

Born in the same dungeon?

[Eh? What’s wrong Ryouta?] (Alice)

[He’s being troubled desu.] (Emily)

[…..Alice!] (Ryouta)

[Yesh!] (Alice)

I suddenly shouted and grabbed on Alice’s shoulder and stared at her eyes at a close range.

[Wh-what’s wrong Ryouta.] (Alice)

[Alice has a 100% drop rate right?] (Ryouta)

[That’s right…..] (Alice)

[But your drop rate is at a C right?] (Ryouta)

[Yeah, but with my timing—–Hyaan!] (Alice)

[Come with me!] (Ryouta)

I grabbed onto Alice’s hands and dragged her.

[Yoda-san?] (Emily)

[Where are you going Ryouta.] (Aurum)

[Sorry, there’s something in mind. I’ll leave Rebecca to you.] (Ryouta)

Saying that, I dragged Alice away.

[What happened there?] (Aurum)

[I’m not sure desu…..but, he was very excited desu.] (Emily)

[—–Right~] (Aurum)

(TLN: No Emily, that’s not what I meant!)

☆

Phosphorus, the last floor, 20th floor.

Since it takes time to defeat the safe door, not many adventurers come here.

Bringing Alice along, I was in front of an opened door.

[How about it?] (Ryouta)

[The timing thing?] (Alice)

[Yeah, can you feel that rare timing?] (Ryouta)

[There is.] (Alice)

[Fast! You can already tell where it is?] (Ryouta)

[Since I’ve been to many dungeons.] (Alice)

Alice smiled and gave me a cheeky look.

[So I know a lot of pattern. But this is….an annoying one.] (Alice)

[Which means?] (Ryouta)

[There is a timing but, it’s super short. Around one second——Hmm, no about 10k times a fraction of a second kind of timing?] (Alice)

[You kidding me.] (Ryouta)

What she’s saying is that 1 in 10k chance.

[And this timing—–even if I defeat it it doesn’t work?] (Ryouta)

[Hm? I’m sure it’s fine?] (Alice)

[Eh?] (Ryouta)

[Looky.] (Alice)

Saying that, she stood one step and faced with the safe door.

Not sure what she’s going to do, I leave it to her.

[Ryo-chan!] (Alice)

She summoned Ryo-chan.

[Let’s go Ryo-chan~] (Alice)

Ryo-chan nodded and took out his revolvers and fired the Penetration Bullets.

I see now, so first she wounds it, then for the final blow’s timing—-

[It’s here.] (Alice)

[Ue!?] (Ryouta)

I unconsciously let out a weird sound.

The door was destroyed, no it’s not really—–but a floor just appeared normally.

[Eh? That easily?] (Ryouta)

[Since Ryo-chan is connected with me. So he knows when the timing would be.] (Alice)

[Amazing….] (Ryouta)

[What are you saying.] (Alice)

Saying it as if I fell in love with Alice.

[The amazing one is Ryouta. Cause you allowed me to find these child.](Alice)

[Aah, so to speak.] (Ryouta)

[It’s impossible without Ryouta. Ryo-can is the one who helped.] (Alice)

I guess she’s right.

[Well, there is the stairs.] (Alice)

I looked at the stairs, the stairs leading to Phosphorus room finally came out.
