Chapter 290 – Ryouta’s achievements
With that, I can take it easy for Nihonium.
I’ll go there to replenish my stocks from time to time, but I can take my time doing it without worrying about getting all my stats to max.
However, it’s not like I’ve found a solution for her, so I can’t be too relaxed.
“It’s nice meeting with you. I shall wait here for your good news to come.” (Nihonium)
“….. Please wait for a while.” (Ryouta)
“Yes, I will wait here until you come back.” (Nihonium)
I leave Nihonium who misunderstood what I was saying, and went back to the ninth floor.
Instead of explaining it to her, I feel that actions speaks more than words.
Finding the gate at the ninth floor, I used it to return to my mansion, then this time I used the Transportation Room to go to Aurum’s room.
“Are? What is it Ryouta. It’s been awhile since you came here.” (Aurum)
Aurum said as she tilted her head slightly.
As she could freely move in and out of her room, I don’t need to come visit her anymore.
“Sorry Aurum, can I borrow Mike for a moment. I’ll give her back in a jiffy.” (Ryouta)
“I don’t mind that but——Ahh, I don’t even need to ask why.” (Aurum)
Aurum just smiled and handed her best friend, Mike, to me.
“Alright. Do your best to be useful to Ryouta.” (Aurum)
“I will!” (Mike)
Once again, I used the gate and this time went to Nihonium’s room.
“Eh? You have return….. What seems to be the problem?” (Nihonium)
“I did say to wait for a while, right?” (Ryouta)
“You did. However, I did not expect such a quick return.” (Nihonium)
“Well.” (Ryouta)
I handed MIke over to her.
“Who is this child?” (Nihonium)
“You can hug her and leave the dungeon.” (Ryouta)
“What did you just say?” (Nihonium)
“I want you to follow me for a moment.” (Ryouta)
“However, for me to leave this dungeon…No, never mind.” (Nihonium)
Nihonium said, with a hint of loneliness mixed into those words.
“There’s no reason to stay here as well.” (Nihonium)
It’s not like anyone would come——–Was what I felt her inner thoughts were telling me.
So, she accepted that fact and decided to follow me.
Well, I don’t know what I’m going to do after this, but it’s better than leaving her here. That I know.
Hence why I felt that it’s better to bring her out with me.
“I understand, I shall follow you.” (Nihonium)
“Alright, hold her tightly okay.” (Ryouta)
“Yes.” (Nihonium)
“Nice to meet you~” (Mike)
As she hugged Mike, we warped back to the mansion using the gate.
“What a terrifying person you are.” (Nihonium)
“Why is that?” (Ryouta)
“To be able to bring a spirit out from their dungeon. No one in the history of this world could ever done that. But you just easily did it.” (Nihonium)
“It’s not that great of a feat.” (Ryouta)
After saying that, Nihonium let go of Mike.
“Thanks for your help Mike.” (Ryouta)
“Is it okay for me to return to Aurum-sama now?” (Mike)
“Yeah, give her a thanks once you return to her side.” (Ryouta)
“Yes!” (Mike)
She said as she used the Transportation Room by herself to return to Aurum’s room.
After sending her off, I brought Nihonium out of the room.
“Well then, I have to prepare a suitable room for you——-” (Ryouta)
“Welcome back Yoda-san.” (Emily)
While walking down the corridor, I could hear Emily’s voice.
WIth her slipper making a pitter-patter sound, she walked towards us.
“Great timing Emily, I want you———” (Ryouta)
“……….”
I wanted to introduce to her, then asked her to help me with setting up a room.
However, Emily just stood there silently, and stared at Nihonium.
With a serious stare, she looked as though she did not catch a single word from my mouth.
Right after I was done, she suddenly went towards Nihonium and hugged her.
“Aah…….” Nihonium who was being hugged was confused.
A familiar scene rose.
She has done something similar to me before.
It was a warm hug, and warm and blissful hug from Emily.
As expected of Emily, even Nihonium is feeling it.
She slowly moved her arms behind Emily’s back.
Looking from the sidelines, one looks like someone working in a japanese inn, and the other, a child.
However, the position is switched if you add in the context, as Emily is gently comforting Nihonium.
After some time, Emily suddenly lift her face up.
“Yoda-san!” (Emily)
“A-h, what’s up?” (Ryouta)
“I want her to live with us desu.” (Emily)
“Well of course, that was my plan from the get go.” (Ryouta)
“Yes desu!” (Emily)
With the excited Emily, she held Nihonium’s hands and dragged her.
Nihonium still looked slightly troubled, but she did not mind it at all.
“Ryouta-san, who’s that?” (Ena)
“Ryouta-san, who is that person just now?” (Elza)
The two faces popped out from the branch office of <Swallow’s Repayment>’s room, and curiously asked.
Emily had her head tilted, whilst Ena was grinning while raising her finger at me, a classical gesture I would say.
“Don’t be mistaken, that woman over there is Nihonium.” (Ryouta)
“Nihonium…..Don’t tell me.” (Elza)
“Another spirit?” (Ena)
“Yeah, I’m letting her stay here for the time being. So please treat her well okay.” (Ryouta)
‘Y-Yeah.” (Elza)
“Yesss~……..” (Ena)
Both Elza and Ena had a “wow” look on their faces.
I might’ve already noticed it at that time.
No, I should’ve known not to say anything.
Thinking about it, I should not have told Elza and Ena about Nihonium.
The next day came.
Immediately, words were passed around throughout the shops of <Swallow’s Repayment>.
In the near future, I speculate that various merchants will rush to put their stores near Nihonium.
