Back at home, I went to the salon to think about it.
　I thought about what the cell asked me to do, and how to get rid of it in the most effective way possible.

　I had an approximate plan in place, but there was one thing I needed to come up with a proper plan for, and I dwelled on it endlessly.

　I lost my concentration from thinking for a long time, and by the time I came back (...), the sun had gone down.

　Gotcha. The door opens.
　There was Emilieとめ coming in.

"Yoda-san.
Emily. What's that in your hand?
I need more tea.

　Emily walked up to me with her tray.
　As I nodded my head at the word refill, I saw a teacup on the table in front of me.
　I saw a teacup that hadn't been touched at all.

　To replace it, Emily put a new, steaming teacup on the table.

"You've been making tea. Sorry I didn't notice.
It's all right. What's the matter with you?　Mr. Yoda, ummmmmmmm groaned and was troubled.
Yes. ...... Would you be willing to discuss this with me?
Of course it is!

　Emily nodded with a big smile and sat down across from me.
　She leaned forward slightly with an excited look on her face, and combined with her petite figure of 5'3", she looked more lovable than usual.
　I told her about the cell's request.

'I heard there's an adventurer hunt out in Aulum.
"The Hunt for the Adventurer.

　Emily's smile disappeared in an instant.
　It's a completely flat expression, which is unusual for her.

'You know?'
I know what an adventurer's hunt is.

　Emily answers.
　A smile returns to her face. ...... What was that all about?

That's what happens in Aulum. Sand is a hoarder, so the problem is that it's ...... taken away from the hoarders. They want us to fix that.
Yes, sir.
I'll have to try to figure out if I can defeat the adventurer-hunter ...... or not, but there's one problem that comes up first.
What is it?

　I chuckled.

'A lot of things - well, not good things - people are refraining from doing just because I'm here these days.
Yes, Mr. Yoda is a deterrent. That's what Yoda is all about.
'The straightforward solution to this request is to patrol the area. That can be done easily by using the transporter room. That's true, but if I patrol, they won't do it, and they might target me when I'm not patrolling.

　It's the same as jaywalking for pedestrians, regardless of the degree.
　If there are no cars coming in the narrow driveway, I'll ignore the light and still cross, and if the officer sees it, he'll be pissed off, so I don't do it when he's looking at me, but when he's not there, I usually cross.

　If I'm patrolling now, the only time I'll be there is when I'm not, and there will be no incident.
　That's not a solution, it's just a deterrent.

　That's what I'm struggling with.

I see!
I was just wondering what I should do with it: ......

　I snarled, and Emily snarled with me.
　We got together and struggled, but we couldn't find a solution.

'We might just have to find the killer and cotensure him.
Yeah.

　I will punish you severely.
　I knew it was the only way.
　So you'll have to let him miss and attack you a few times, and then you'll have to ...... it.


Oh.
What's the matter, what's on your mind?
I'm sorry. I thought of Grandpa, not this way.
Grandpa?

　Who are you talking about?

I have to deliver food to Arsenic's grandfather.
Oh, I remember being friends with that genie over there.

　Not only are they not close, but they're getting the blessing of the spirits, Emily.

'Do you deliver food every day?'
No, sir. Grandpa isn't human, so sometimes he's not hungry. So it's different.
"Oh, yeah? ...... What can I do to contact you? ......
What's going on?

　Emily wonders.
　Something flashed in my head.

　A flash of inspiration, but an inspiration that I lost track of right after it happened.
　That feeling of forgetting what you wanted to search for when you opened your browser to search the Internet.

　So I retrace the steps. In this case, I can often trace out what I saw or talked about just before I did it.
　I did what I said and did it again.

"How to get in touch with me?
Yes?
"--Hey!　Thanks Emily!　I'm going out for a bit!
'What?　Mr. Yoda!

　Leaving a startled Emily behind, I ran out of the mansion and headed for the cell.

　　　　　Star.

　Aurum Dungeon, second basement level.
　The inside of the dungeon was tense.

　The adventurer hunters were going out, and the adventurers who were aiming for sand and gold were becoming wary of not only the monsters, but other adventurers as well.
　There was a pervasive air that everything but me was the enemy.

'Um, ...... sorry,'
-Oh!

　The adventurer, who was using his twin swords as weapons to defeat the little demon, was instantly alerted.
　He was approached from behind and turned around with his weapon at the ready.

''It's not!　This, this, this!

　There was a young adventurer there. The young one hurriedly waved his hand in appeal.
　Then he held out his scabbard.

''I picked up a lost item, this is yours, right?''
'What?　Yeah, it's true.

　The adventurer who was told to do so fumbled between his hips.
　There was only one sheath on the twin swords.

''When did I drop it?''
Yeah, go ahead.
Thanks.

　The moment he received the scabbard, the adventurer jumped back in a big way, and his instantaneous reaction was probably due to the fact that he had been alerted just before.
　But even so, it was too late, the scabbard he received ...... was coated with poison on its surface, and the man's hand tingled with pain.

''d*mn, it's you, adventurer-hunter!
That's right, and by the way, I didn't drop it, I stole it. You can be vigilant, but if you're only on the lookout for the killers, you're going to get into this kind of thing.
"d*mn it!　This is about--

　The twin-sworded adventurer fell to his knees.
　He held his head and moaned.

'Oh, because that poison isn't something you can do with your hands, it's a poison that stops the body itself from moving.
"d*mn it. ......

　The young man approached the twin-sworded adventurer with all the malice he could muster.
　He stood in front of the adventurer, who was stuck on his knees, and raised his hand.

''Well, it's just another tuition fee.
I don't want that class.
What!

　Just as he was about to wave his hand down, another man appeared.
　Directly in front of the young man, behind the twin-sworded adventurer.
　That's where Ryota appeared.

　Appearing from nothing, Ryota punched the young man in the side without question.

　　　　　☆

　Aurum dungeon, spirit room.
　I came via the transporter room and bobbed my head to Aulum.

''Thanks for the help.
I didn't do anything with my life. Is that what you want?
Not really.

　I shook my head clearly.

'Aulum helped me get over the biggest hurdle, thank you.
I didn't really do anything. I mean, what I did was just...

　Aulum said, taking out a switch and holding it up to show him.

'I just pressed this when the humans were struggling with each other in the dungeon.
That's what helps me the most.

　The switch was a cell device.
　It was attached to the cyclo dungeon, the one that notifies the competent person of the appearance of the dungeon master, and he gave it to Aulum, a modified version of it.

　Aulum - the spirit is able to grasp everything that happens in his (the dungeon). Whenever there was a conflict between humans or adventurer hunting, I would press it to notify me.
　I'd get the news and rush to the transporter room to solve the problem.

　This is the most effective way to minimize the damage and maximize the effect.
　The more this curbing of the gods and goddesses spreads, the more effective it will be in stopping the adventurer hunt.

Well, if that's what you want to do, that's fine.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I'll take you out again.
Yes.

　He asked Aulum to bow his head once more and then left the genie's room.

　It didn't take long to say that it was a while.
　As I had intended, the adventurer hunting hunting (...) had spread, and as a result, it was rapidly disappearing in Aulum.

''As expected of Satou-sama, you used the spirits of the dungeon as well.

　Cell, who had asked for the request, was both impressed and surprised, and his tongue was wagging in his mouth.
