Silicon dungeon, basement level.

Let's go to Arsenic next!
Yes!

　One and one.
　The monster in the girl's arms rushed up from the lower levels like the wind and flew out of the dungeon like the wind just like the wind.

　The silicon adventurers who witnessed the scene all looked at each other in wonder.

''Now that's a monster called ...... Mini Sage, right?
No, it's not. How come monsters are able to cross levels and get out of dungeons? It's that cute little girl's stuffed animal and ventriloquism.
No, no. Just between you and me, that's the new kid in the Lyota family.

　There was one adventurer who knew a lot about things, so all the adventurers there paid attention to him.

　Since everyone was used to going to Silicon Dungeon, they were all listening to the story while defeating the monsters single-handedly - a very strange scene.

　A well-informed person who knew what he was talking about met his gaze and continued to explain in a slightly smug manner, "You know what a unique monster is, don't you?

'You know what a unique monster is. That's the unique monster that Lyota kept and evolved. It is said that the monster that you and I are in the middle of touching can cross the floor and enter and exit the dungeon.
""Yeah!"

　There was a chorus of surprise from the adventurers.

'Oh no, a haggler can do that?'
I know unique monsters, but they're still monsters, right?
Haha ...... I knew the Lyota family was awesome. ......

Uh-huh.

　As if everyone's surprise was a pleasant surprise, the well-informed adventurer sniffed further and laughed in a proud and meaningful way.

''What's that laugh about?''
Now, there's a little girl holding a miniature wise man.
Oh--no way!
Well, she's a monster when she's touching a monster, so she's a monster.
So that's one unique monster.
Uh-huh.

　He was even more proud of himself as a knowledgeable person.

'I know that already!　Tell me all about it quickly.

　This time there was a chorus of 'so and so'.

'Impatient, all right. That's the girl, Aulum, we're talking about.
'Does Aulum come with a ...... genie?'
'Come to think of it, Lyota Sato has been controlling Aulum for a while now.
But wasn't Lyota the one with the genie?
No, no, that's Auldurm himself.
...... Huh?
The spirit itself.
Yeah!

　All the adventurers present, except for those who were in the know, turned in unison to the entrance of the silicon.

　All of them had surprised, impressed, and respectful eyes.

　　　　　☆

　When I got out of the bath at night, I went into the kitchen to get something cold to drink.

"Lyota!
Wow!

　I was suddenly tackled from right beside him.
　I stepped on it in a flash and somehow avoided falling on my butt.

'What are you doing all of a sudden ...... aurum?'
'Thank you, Lyota!　Thank you so much.
Yeah, yeah, I get it.

　I saw Aulum hugging me, and Meeke, the mini-wise man, beside him.

'By the looks of it, you've enjoyed it a lot.
'Yes!　I've been to every dungeon in this city!
Okay.

　When I grabbed Aulum out of the Aulum dungeon and introduced her to Meeke, she completely forgot about Emily's dinner and took Meeke out with her.

'Sounds like you had a good time,'
'Yes!　I've never seen another dungeon before!
Oh, right. I'm sorry I couldn't bring you down here.

　The reason I took Aulum out of the dungeon was originally because she had a wish to see the outside world.
　Every spirit that has ever been there has a different wish.

　Arsenic has an appetite, and Seren has, well, a s*xual appetite.
　Aulum wanted to know the outside world as much as if she were a deep-windowed daughter.

　So I used Drop S and the mansion's transporter room to get her out of Aulum, but I didn't take her to any other dungeons.

　Theoretically I could do that too, but every time I enter a dungeon, even if it's by magic, every time I cross a level, I need to kill it once, drop a gold nugget, and then hatch it into a haglemono.

　That's as far as I've gotten - and that's why I wasn't able to do it.

'The other dungeons are interesting too!
Really?
'Yes!　It was snowing red and stuff.
'Dungeonsnow. Come to think of it, I don't know if they had any in Aulum.

　Ahrum talks about other dungeons in high spirits.
　He's as excited as a child in a toy store.

That's the kind of thing you'd like to see in a lantern or something.
What do you mean?
That's a pleasure to see you there. Meeke, I'll use the transporter gate to bring you there later, and tomorrow I'll bring Aulum--
I want to go tonight!

　Aulum interrupted me.
　'You want to go,' he said.

'All right. How's Meeke doing?　Aren't you tired?
'It's all right. I'm glad to be of service to Master Aulum, and besides.
And?
It's for Lyota.

　Meeke fumbled for something and handed it to me.

"A gold nugget, a kilo of it.
Master Aulum gave it to me. This is for Master Lyota.
'No, you keep that one. You've earned it.
But,
'It's fine. More importantly, Aulum, Meeke can call herself 'Meeke Aulum' from now on, right?
Of course!　We'll always be friends, right, Miichan!
Yes!

　Meeke is being pushed back by Aulum's tension.
　If the tension is this high, the rest should be fine.

　It's been one of my concerns for a long time.
　While I was on a business trip, I couldn't help but notice that while I was visiting a place for the first time, I'd end up leaving Aulum alone in the dungeon.

　I was relieved and honestly happy that Meeke had resolved that.

'Lyota-sama,'
Yeah?　What's wrong, Meeke, you look so apologetic.
'I heard many people saying that while I was showing you around Aulum-sama. I'm sorry, if it were true, 'Aulum' would be Lord Lyota.
That's the one thing I don't care about.

　It doesn't matter what your name is.

What?　Do you want Lyota to lose my blessings?
You don't want to be seen like that in human society. I don't mind it.
So, I'll tell you what to do. This house belongs to Lyota, right?
Yeah?　Oh, yes, but?
So....

　Aulum held out his hand with a swoosh and snapped his fingers with a snap.

　Scene.

　Nothing happened.
　No, nothing could have happened.
　In this world, spirits are gods in a sense. And they have special abilities.

　That Aulum snapped his fingers as if he wanted to do something, and nothing could happen.

　What happened?　And you think.

'Hahahahahahaha, what is this, hahahahahahahaha'

　I heard laughter from outside the mansion.
　It's Alice's laugh.

　I opened the window and put my face out.

'What's the matter with you, Alice?
'That's your line, Lyota. What's this, what did you do, Aurum?
'I did something, but I did it: ......

　I'm more and more confused as to what this is all about.
　Aulum did something that Alice could see at a glance.
　Just when I thought it was something--that's when I thought it was something.

"Whoa!

　I was so startled that I couldn't help but shout.

　I caught a glimpse of him, so I leaned in further and turned around.
　Then it became clear to me.

　I could only see part of it, but it looked like I could guess that it was probably all (,).

　The outer walls of the mansion were completely golden.

　I pulled my head back and asked Aulum.

'Did you do this?'
Yeah, I replaced a lot of stuff with gold. I changed a lot of stuff to gold so that you'll know it's really Lyota who has the blessing.
I see.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha.
This is fine.
'You're so low and cocky,'

　I could hear the voices of my friends from outside the window one after another.
　I was wondering if they were impressed by the Hideyoshi-like golden house.

I'm here. I can't lose to this.

　I could even hear the cell.
　...... losing?

　Somehow I had a bad feeling, and I leaned out the window again.
　Then I saw the garden of the mansion, and in one corner of it, my friends and Cell were gathered together.

　All of them were surrounded by something, a life-size golden statue in my shape.

'It's powered up from the statue!

　I let out a near scream.
　I knew that's what Cell meant when he said he lost.

　I was about to hurriedly tell Aulum to just pull the statue down.

''Ryota-sama, you're ...... cool.''

　Meeke was staring at the golden statue with sparkling eyes, his tiny body hanging over the window sill.

　I couldn't tell Aulum to stop, because I couldn't water her pure eyes like a child's, and I couldn't tell her to stop.

　Thus, my Lyota family.
　The golden house and the golden statue.
　And a new unique monster and spirit companion was added to the family.
