On the way to the mansion, Aulum squeezed me tightly.

She’s a small girl, but every inch of Aulum’s body was soft, and I was strangely nervous, even though I was just carrying her on my back.

I was lucky that Aulum was quiet on the way home. If he’d been talking to me, he might have found out that I was thrilled.

I managed to make it back to the mansion without being found out, and then I entered the grounds and came to the front door.

‘We’re here,’

Yes. ……

Aurum got off my back like he was reluctant to do so.

I wonder if it would have been better to just beat him to the transition room.

With that thought in mind.

‘Lyota-san, welcome back.

Elsa came out from the back of the mansion.

‘Hey Elsa, you’re here.

‘Yes!I was bringing in Master Lock. I’ll be using this side of the building as a sub-branch from today.

Good luck in the future.

‘Yes!And …… that …….

Yeah?

I’ll be moving soon.

Moving?You’re going to some other city?

‘Oh!No, it’s not!

Elsa hurriedly waved her hands in the air.

”It’s not that, the place I live now is a bit far from this mansion. I’m afraid it’s going to take me a long time to get sent to Lyota-san’s place, so I thought I’d take the plunge and move closer to here.”

Elsa explains as if she were speaking up all at once.

I see.

I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that she’s currently on loan to me.

I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that I’m not the only one who’s been in this situation.

She wanted to move because she was being transferred and her work location was too far away.

And …… near Lyota-san.

Hmm?

It’s nothing!

Elsa waved her hand in a hurry again.

I didn’t quite hear what he said, but …… I thought about it.

If that’s the reason you’re moving in, I’d rather not.

”Elsa, would you like to live in this mansion if you wanted to?”

What?

As you can see, there’s still room to spare. It’s not gonna be occupied for a while. So, if you’re sure it’s all right with Elsa…

Are you sure about this?

Elsa’s face lit up with a bite.

‘Of course. I don’t care if it’s anyone else, Elsa is special.

Well, what’s so special about it?

I’m not a stranger to them and I’m friendly with Emily and her friends.

They told me it was special …… special.

Elsa took my hand in hers and looked up at me with glazed eyes.

‘I don’t know,’

It’s my pleasure!

‘Yeah, so what do we do about the …… room then, maybe I should ask Emily. Maybe Emily should be in complete control of this mansion by now.

‘I’ll go ask Miss Emily, and while I’m at it, I’ll bring my things in!

I said, “Hey, you don’t have to work so hard.

Elsa turned herself around and ran off like the wind, with an adventurer’s face.

It was good for now because she was happy to see me.

‘I like …… envy you,’

Hmm?

I heard Aulum mumble something.

‘What’s the matter, Aulum – I mean, hey!

The moment I turned around, I was surprised.

The Ahrum, who is staring at me, has somehow spit out a mouthful of gold.

I’m sure you’ll be able to find a way to make it work.

“What’s up with that, Aulum?

‘What?What?

It’s not a what, it’s a money thing.

What am I talking about?” is the line, but it’s a sight to behold, so it can’t be helped.

‘What–oh, it’s true.’

You didn’t know it was true.

Aurum scrubbed the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand.

The gold seems to have stopped for a moment, but what’s really going on?

You okay?Could it be that you’re not feeling well?

It’s a dungeon spirit, maybe it’s not a good idea to take it out for too long.

I was wondering if I could take him home for the time being today.

”Hey Lyota, who was that guy who was there?”

That man?You mean Elsa.

That’s what he called it.

Ummm, I don’t know who you’re calling me, but I’m working with someone, so…

I suddenly remembered the time Elsa had kissed me.

It was like a surprise, a one-time kiss.

I remembered that, and my face became hot all at once, even to the base of my ears.

…… So?

Hey, it’s a lot to deal with.

‘Hmm. I see. ……

Aurum put a hand to his cheek and figured something out.

Are you feeling well?Shouldn’t you go back to the dungeon?

What a thought.

“Mr. Lyota.

Celeste.

This time Celeste appeared.

He came back from outside the mansion, holding books and papers in his hand.

Welcome home. What’s up with that?

‘I’ve been in the library. I’ve been compiling the features and information on all the dungeons here at Cyclo.

All of them?

Yes. Eve’s helped you get to all the levels. I want to talk to you about the strategy.

So you’ll be taking it home to study. Thanks, as always.

‘No, this is different. I’ve memorized all the information. This is a reference book to help you put that information together.

To put together?

‘Yes!You know, the Lyota family does a lot of individual activities. So the booklet?Or maybe I’ll put them together in something smaller and let everyone else have them.

I couldn’t keep my open mouth shut. ‘You’ve been thinking about that?

‘Thank you, Celeste. I don’t know how to thank you.

I don’t need to thank you for ……. It’s something I love doing.

No, but– Mm-hmm.

He put his finger to my lips. Celeste pressed her index finger to my lips and smiled mischievously.

‘It’s okay, it’s what I like to do,’

Celeste smiled even more as she said that. She’s usually a beautiful woman and she looks more and more beautiful and I’m thrilled.

‘Is this guy …… too?’

‘Speaking of which, Lyota, this girl is …… ugh!Something’s coming out of my mouth!

Celeste shouted out and looked at Aulum with a startled look on her face.

I looked at Aulum, too, and then I saw her spitting out money again.

‘Aulum!He’s throwing up money again.

‘What?Oh–

Aulum pointed out to me and scrubbed the corners of his mouth again.

Gradually the sand and gold stops, while I explain to Celeste.

‘She’s Aulum, the spirit of the Aulum dungeon.

It’s like the Arsenic spirits.

‘Yeah. The last time I saw you, you said you wanted to get out, and now that you can make the transition, I took you out of Aulum and showed you the city of Cyclo.

That’s why you’re spitting money: ……

That surprises me too. This hasn’t happened before.

What the hell is wrong with Aulum?

I’m sorry.

I heard the voice again, this time it seemed to be a visitor.

He opened the front door and found Margaret and her knightly men there.

I opened the door and Margaret stepped inside, and the knights remained reverently outside the mansion, closing the door softly.

As she walked in, Margaret stood in front of me and smiled gracefully at me.

‘Congratulations on moving in!’

You heard already? I was just going to let you know when we were stable.

Now that the Lyota family is the focus of all the attention in Cyclo, there’s a lot of talk about it.

Really?

I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. It was a bit ridiculous that one move would cause a rumor.

‘It’s a nice house. It’s warm and gentle. You can see the personality of the owner.

‘It’s nice to hear you say that, but it’s not me that’s warm and friendly, it’s Emily.

Lyota is always so humble in that way, isn’t she?

Margaret says and gently leans in closer to me.

I didn’t go so far as to hug her, I jumped into her bosom and pulled myself closer.

Her body is small and soft, and she smells so good.

It smells so good it makes my head dizzy.

‘I love that about you too,’

Yeah?

By the way, I don’t think you’ve met the one spitting sand over here.

‘Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve ever seen Aulum–and sand!

I look at Aulum three times, and for some reason, he’s looking at me with a look of envy, and Aulum is spitting sandpaper again.

No, why?What’s causing it?

Are you sure you’re okay, Auldurm?

Ugh. ……

You don’t look so good. Let’s go home for the day. Celeste, I’ll drop her off, and you can take Margaret into the parlor for a while and have Emily serve her something.

Yeah, I get it.

Celeste smiled serenely and nodded, taking Margaret with her.

I took the still bushy Aulum to the basement.

Let’s put him back in the gold and then we’ll grab him back to the Aulum dungeon.

That’s what I brought him to, but Ahrum was staring at me.

I couldn’t move, the look in his eyes was so frightening.

“But what’s the matter with you, Aurum?

Hey, those girls.

What?

Did you talk to Lyota?

“Because …… what?

I know what it’s like. Couples would come into the dungeon and give off that vibe sometimes. And then they’d kiss and hug each other naked and stuff.

Boom!

Aulum, who has been in the dungeon all his life and has little knowledge, isn’t stupid, in fact, he just doesn’t know. What he does know, on the contrary, he remembers well.

Aside from Celeste, he certainly kissed Elsa and Margaret.

‘I knew I did,’

It’s …… well ……

Chuff.

…… huh?

Faster than I could say anything else, Aulum was on his toes in front of me and kissed me.

‘Hey, why?’

……

Aulum didn’t answer.

Instead, she stared at me with a red face, embarrassed and yet angry.

After a look of embarrassment, she said.

‘Bye!’

And then he went back to the gold himself.

……

I, who was left behind, was alone in the basement for a while.

After returning Aurum to the dungeon, I used the transporter room to come to the third floor of the tellurium.

Emily asked me to get a pumpkin for Margaret, as she wanted to treat her to a cake.

Still confused about Aulum, I immediately accepted and came to the third basement level of the tellurium.

I’m still confused when I get here.

All I could think about was that kiss from Aulum.

To be honest, I don’t feel bad, Aulum is cute to begin with, and he’s getting cuter and cuter since he’s been able to go out and laugh.

It’s hard not to be happy to get a kiss from Aulum like that.

Next time, I’ll listen to her a little more carefully.

With that in mind, I changed my mind and decided to hunt for monsters.

A pumpkin-dropping monster called a cocrosstime.

It reminds me of a G-like creature, crawling on the ground with its slime body.

I didn’t hate it that much, but I didn’t feel good about it, so I defeated it with a repetition to avoid touching it.

The defeated cocrosstime dropped an item.

A pumpkin ordered by Emily, and another one.

Gold, dropped together.

…… eh?

Why is there gold in the sand?This is a drop from the Aurum dungeon, right?

Could it be that whatever was in Aulum’s vomit was on his body and now it’s fallen out?

So I thought and released a repetition on another cocrosse lime.

Then the pumpkin and the sandstone were still dropped together.

‘What do you mean …… oh.’

I remembered Aulum’s kiss.

The word “blessing of the spirits,” came to my mind.
