In the evening, I brought Carbon back from her dungeon.
Thinking of going back to my room to change my clothes and take a break until dinner—–it was then.
I realised that Carbon is following me, so I turned around and asked.
“What’s wrong?” (Carbon)
“Ah well 
I feel like I just remembered something 
” (Ryouta)
I fold my arms and tilt my neck.
Is it something misunderstanding——–Or not.
If I can’t remember, then something definitely has happened.
In such a case, it is easier to remember by recreating the actions.
I went back to the transportation room and recreated the behaviour I did previously, and Carbon looked at me confused.
I opened the transportation room and asked Mike to bring back Carbon.
I then sent Mike to go to Nihonium and Aurum, stretched and returned to my room——–Wait, my room?
With an “Ahh” moment, I remembered what it was.
I turned to Carbon.
“Carbon, where’s your room?” (Ryouta)
“Room? Isn’t it inside my dungeon?” (Carbon)
“That’s not what I mean, I mean here.” (Ryouta)
I said and looked behind.
The corridor of Vanadium dungeon does not look like a dungeon by any means.
It was built to imitate our former mansion, and there are many doors leading to many of my friend’s rooms.
Among them———Carbon’s room wasn’t present.
“That’s right, we didn’t provide a room for you yet.” (Ryouta)
“My room?” (Carbon)
“Look here. That room is Nihonium, and that’s Aurum. Everyone has a room besides you.” (Ryouta)
“Now that you mention it.” (Carbon)
Carbon finally realised after I mentioned it.
I didn’t notice it at all = I didn’t care about it, so even after noticing it, she didn’t seem to mind it.
On the contrary, I was very concerned.
“Let’s ask Vanadium to make it. What kind of room would you like?” (Ryouta)
“Hmm, I don’t really understand.” (Carbon)
“Anything you would like in your room? Since most things will be made by Vanadium.” (Ryouta)
“Hmm, that’s right.” (Carbon)
Carbon claps her hands.
“You thought of what you want?” (Ryouta)
“Yeap. It’s better if my room is as far away from you as possible.” (Carbon)
“A remote place?” (Ryouta)
“It’s going to be another challenge.” (Carbon)
“
 I think we should stop with the challenges when we come home.” (Ryouta)
“No, it doesn’t make sense if we don’t do this all the time. If I can be close to you but at the same time being the furthest away, I’ll be the strongest!” (Carbon)
“Oh, uhh okay.” (Ryouta)
On the contrary, I was overwhelmed by Carbon’s motivation.
I understand what she means but 
 hmm.
Well, if the person says that’s okay, then I guess I can’t force her.
“Okay. I’ll go ask Vanadium later and have it made on the other end of my room. I wonder if I should put a salon in between.” (Ryouta)
“Yay!.” (Carbon)
Carbon’s eyes were glittering.
“After we debate and talk in the salon, when we disperse we can go our separate ways!!” (Carbon)
“I like your resolution.” (Ryouta)
I think things became even more interesting when she came here.
With that, I went back to my room and changed my clothes.
Then, leaving the room and heading for the salon, I waited for my friends to come home.
At the entrance, I encountered Alice coming back from the outside.
“Welcome home” (Ryouta)
“I’m home Ryouta.” (Alice)
“Where did you go? It’s rare to see you come back through the entrance door.” (Ryouta)
“Well, I was looking around for some lands on sale.” (Alice)
“Lands?” (Ryouta)
I shook my head.
“See, the east side of the mansion. People haven’t lived for a while, right?” (Alice)
“Yeah, an elderly person lives there 
 I think his son is in another city?” (Ryouta)
“Well, that’s it. It was on sale and I went to ask for the price.” (Alice)
“How much was it?” (Ryouta)
“It’s 300 million piros including the land.” (Alice)
“Then you don’t have to worry about it.” (Ryouta)
“Ah, that’s because of Ryouta.” (Alice)
“Eh? Why is it because of me?” (Ryouta)
“Since Ryouta came, Shikuro’s property has been rising value.” (Alice)
“

Right.” (Ryouta)
The value of land increases as the city prospers.
Strictly speaking, it’s a little different, but the people who live in it would profit—–in the case of Shikuro, the number of dungeons has increased and the number of adventurers has increased, and the money circulation has improved.
With a prosperous city, it is natural that the value of the land will increase.
“Since that is the case, I thought it would be good to buy and expand.” (Alice)
“That’s right” (Ryouta)
It’s a pretty fascinating story.
The land of that mansion, the land where the old mansion and Vanadium dungeon are located, is the home of the Ryouta family.
The act of expanding our base like a conquering game would not have a substantial meaning, but the act itself has a meaning.
Excitement and ――I remember a sense of fulfillment.
“Why are you standing in a place like this?” (Elza)
“Elza.” (Ryouta)
From behind, Elza came home and talked to me.
Alice roughly explained the current story.
“I see, so it’s finally on sale.” (Elza)
“Did you go and see it as well?” (Ryouta)
“Yes, I thought it was about time.” (Elza)
Got it.
She truly is a business person.
“I want it over there, but I don’t think I can buy it right now.” (Ryouta)
“Eh?” (Elza)
“Eh?” (Ryouta)
Eh? I saw Elza’s face.
What is she saying?
“What do you mean you can’t buy?” (Elza)
“It means that I don’t have much cash? I paid the rent for Vanadium dungeon, and I haven’t made much money since the beginning of this year.” (Ryouta)
“
 Ryouta-san, have you been looking at your savings balance?” (Elza)
“No, I haven’t seen it.” (Ryouta)
“That is 
you have 1.5 billion piros now.” (Elza)
“

What?” (Ryouta)
I was lost for words.
“Wow! you have so much!” (Alice)
Alice was excited.
“No, wait what? I have that much?” (Ryouta)
“Yes, because I make a deposit when Ryouta-san sends me a drop, so I always look over it.” (Elza)
“

Is it.” (Ryouta)
Or rather 
 Does Elsa know my deposit balance better than I did?
“That’s enough then 
 Even if I buy it, the digits won’t change right?” (Ryouta)
“It’s more and more amazing!” (Alice)
Alice is getting more and more excited as we cannot.
If that is the case 

.
“Guess I should buy it.” (Ryouta)
“That’s nice.” (Elza)
“Okay” (Alice)
Alice and Elza nodded with a smile.
