At night, the "Tsubame's Benefit" sub-branch in the mansion.
　I was looking at Elsa with nervousness.

　Elsa is tallying up the numbers written in the ledger at hand.
　Today, it's a tally of my earnings.

　I'm nervous about the results for the first time in a long time. As I waited while secretly praying, Erza looked up with a smile on her face.

'Congratulations, Lyota-san,'
'Oh?　Does that mean?
'Yes!　We crossed a million piro in total today.
Ush!

　I was gutted with joy as it was.
　I've often earned 1 million piro in a day - or rather, half a day of actual work - but I'm still happy because today I hunted only peaches on the 15th floor of Tellurium, and that made me over a million.

　On the 15th floor of Tellurium, the "strongman's killer", I learned the behavior of the monsters with my body and optimized the way I dealt with them like a chess game, and as a result, I went over 1 million, a big increase from the first 770,000.

　It wasn't so much that I just crossed a million piro after all this time, but I felt a sense of accomplishment to be able to do that with the 'strongman killer'.

''It's amazing, Lyota-san, it's probably a world first.
A world first?
''Yes, earning this much money for the 15th floor of Tellurian in a day. Earning money in a dungeon is only possible if you have a high drop, but those with a high drop are ninety-nine percent of the time, and their other abilities are high as well.
I see. ......
You're very good, Ryota.

　When Elsa told me that, I felt more and more accomplished.

'It's more and more amazing that it's only for half a day,'

　Half a day, that's a rule I've set for myself.

　After a long career as a company employee in my former world, I don't enter dungeons after evening unless there's something wrong.
　In other words, I only go into dungeons during the daytime, and I spend the top half of that time boosting my abilities in Nifonium, so I only make money between 12:00 and 18:00 in my original world.

　I'd say it's not just a half day, it's a quarter of a day.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with us.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for, but it's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　The sense of accomplishment and Elsa's words made me doubly happy.

'Alright, let's go for a drink today.'
Yes!

　　　　　★

　I was on my way home from Villa Diechee, a tavern of familiarity.
　I was walking with Elsa and Aurum.

　Everyone else had things to do and didn't catch up. The only two people I drank with at the launch were Elsa, who did the tally, and Aulum, who I picked up on time.

'It was good, it was good, it was very good,'

　Auldurm must have liked the beer at Villa Dierch's so much that he's still excited on the way home from the store.
　He's still running in circles around me and Elsa, reacting like a child.

'I didn't know alcohol could taste so good.
You like the drink?
'Yes!　It feels nice and fluffy.
'Right. Now let's try another drink.
Do you have another drink?
Yeah, wine, champagne, whiskey, all that stuff.
Ooh, .......

　Aurum snorted with impressed eyes.
　I've just come out of the dungeon, so I react like such an innocent child to the unknown.
　Seeing that makes me feel like I want to let him experience things and teach him.

'There are so many things.'
'Yeah, we have it. Come to think of it, I wonder if we have any gold-leafed liquor over here.
'Gold leaf?　You're going to put the money in alcohol?
Yeah. They say it's not just for booze. You can put it in all kinds of dishes. I'm told it's good for nourishment--that's what I was doing in my place.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, I'll help Emily with that, and I'll start putting money into the cookbook tomorrow.
Yeah?　Okay, well, I can usually get money out of it.
'Yes!　You can eat all you want!
No, no,

　The way he said it was interesting.
　Gold - the all-you-can-eat gold leaf thing was a bit of a sticking point.
　From the point of view of the golden spirit Aulum, the gold is inexhaustible.

　All-you-can-eat gold.
　I thought it might be interesting.

"Huh?
What's the matter with you, Elsa?
There ...... you're building a house.
Hmm?

　He stopped as well and followed Elsa's gaze as she went.
　In the darkness of the night, there was no movement since it was nighttime, but I could still see it clearly.
　It seems that they are doing quite a large scale construction work.

''It's true, it's an incredible scale of construction work,''
It looks like a mansion. It's not exactly a commercial facility.
'A mansion, huh? ............ A mansion of this size at this time, cell?
I'm going to go get him.

　Elsa said and ran off.
　Ask who?　I thought, but there was a person working the night shift at the site where she ran to.
　Elsa spoke to the man and asked him a few questions before coming back.

'It looks like Sel Stem's mansion,'
I knew it.
They said it's going to look more like a castle than a mansion.
'Heh ...... well, when you're that rich, a castle isn't surprising.'

　Castles don't have to be kings to be popular, and it's a common story among European nobles.
　I heard that the nobleman who was the source of the famous Dracula had a castle (I saw a news report about his descendants trying to sell it).

　But a castle, eh?
　.............

'What's going on, Lyota?'
Oh, no, you said "castle" and I remembered the word "statue.
Statue?　It certainly looks like something you would have in a castle, but what about it?
No, you're thinking too much.

　Then he shook off the thing that had emerged.
　No matter how much, you know.

'Wait a minute,'

　Elsa ran to the man on night duty again and came back after asking him a lot of questions.
　This time with a very subtle look on her face - seriously.

'That ...... Lyota, Mr.
No way.
'Yes ......, they're making a statue of Mr Lyota,'
You're really making this stuff up!
And it's a variable statue. They say it's a statue that can be magically changed into various poses.
What a waste of technology!

　I shuddered lightly at what the cell reformed stalker had done.
　'I have to go to see him tomorrow and tell him to stop the statue.

'So, but it's going to be a very nice house.

　Elsa said, to distract from the topic.

'Hmm?　Oh yeah. People with power and money want to make those things up.
Really?

　Aulum tilted his head and asked back.

'That's the way it is. For example, there was a guy who built ...... a gold-plated castle and so on. Hmm?　Was it a temple, not a castle?

　I search my memory to see what Osaka Castle was like.

'Is it great when it's gold-plated?'
'Well, it's intimidating, and you can tell at a glance that it's awesome. Hmmm, cool, maybe.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, what do you mean--

　Before he could call out to her, Aulum ran like the wind.

'I wonder what's wrong,'
............ No way.

　What Aulum had said just before replayed in my mind as a scene.
　I ran out after her.

　No way - don't do it.

　I ran hard after Aurum, thinking about that, and followed her.
　Eventually, when I returned home, I saw.

　It was a gilded - the form remained conventional, but the mansion was completely turned into gold.
　Aulum, standing in front of it, turned to me, his hands on his hips and a look of pride on his face.

'How do you feel, Lyota? Does this make you feel great?

　Aurum the Golden Aurum, the spirit of the Aurum Dungeon.
　She used her power to turn the mansion into a gilded house.

''It's amazing, but not this.
Uh, why?
I don't want to settle down for anything.
'But isn't it great?　I know it's cool.
No, no, no. ......

　I broke out in a cold sweat and desperately tried to persuade Ahrum to stop at the gold-plated house.

'Then I'll put on a gold statue instead of a statue of Lyota--'
Don't do that one!

　Aurum said something even more outrageous due to the negative effects of the cell.
　It was such an event that the gold, a symbol of wealth, seemed to quickly turn into a trauma.
