I tried dozens of times, but in the end, I didn't end up with the stairs that lead to the genie/phosphorus.

　In the evening, it was time to go up.
　I had no choice, so I returned to the mansion from the transfer gate with the last wad of 20 million bills I dropped at the end.

''Welcome home!''
Oh!

　Aulum greets me in the transporter room of the mansion as the sun sets.
　In his arms, like a doll, is a mini-wise Meeke in his arms, a mini-wise man in his arms.

'Welcome home,'
I'm home. What are you guys doing here?
I just wanted to tell Lyota I'm home!

　Aurum was extremely excited.

'I'm home?'
People say "I'm back" and "welcome home".　I haven't been able to say anything at all since Lyota has just taken me out of the house.
I see.

　It's like a live-in couple daring to meet up outside for a date.

'Ughhhh, thanks to Lyota, I've experienced another one.
It's good to see you, Master Ulm.
I owe it to you, too. Here's a present!

　Aurum said and held up his hand, his palm glowed with a pah, and then the golden accessory was on Meeke's body.

　Also, there was more.
　As a unique monster, Meeke, who was free to move around the dungeons and hierarchies of the monsters he and I were touching, had become the partner of Aulum, who wanted to get out.
　Aulum thanked Meeke at every opportunity, and now Meeke is covered in gold jewelry all over his body.

　All ten fingers are covered in rings, or else she's fully equipped like a two-dimensional idol chaser.

　I'm sure Meeke and Aurum are good friends.

It's nice to hear you say you're home, thank you.
That's my line. If it wasn't for Ryota, I'd still be there, and I'd still be there. So thank you.
Okay.

　Me and Aurum nodded and smiled at each other.

　When we got home, I walked towards the salon, trying to catch my breath first.
　Aulum takes Meeke in his arms and follows beside me.

'Mmm,'
What?
Ryota, how are you feeling?
Yeah, I'm having a little trouble getting through the dungeon.

　I explained to him briefly about Phosforus.

'I see. ......'
I thought I could handle it, but maybe it's just multiplied.
Not really.
What?

　Aurum stopped in her tracks.
　I stopped and turned to her too.

　Aulum stops and looks straight at me.
　Her tone of voice is quiet, not so strong, but I can sense her clear intentions.

'Lyota could do it.'
Really?
Yeah, well, it has to be Lyota. I'll make sure of that.

　Smiling, Aulum smiled.

'That's me,'

　There are 118 dungeons in the world, and Aurum controls one of them.
　In this world where everything is dropped from dungeons, spirits like Aulum are equal to gods - or even gods themselves.

　I'm not going to be the only one.

Well, thank you.
That's my line.

　Aulum laughed and walked off again, coming alongside me.

'Ah, there's Yoda,'
What's up, Emily?

　Emily pattered in from across the hallway.

'We have a guest,'
Customer?
Rebecca is here.
Why, again: ......

　Rebecca Neon. Also known as "The Perfect".

　All A's in every ability, and on top of that, being dungeon-born, she's one of the genie-attached ones who has completely conquered 118 single neon dungeons and received permission from the genie to call herself "Neon".

...... Oh, I see.

　I remembered and looked at Aulum and Meeke.

'What do you mean?'
'I remember a conversation we had the last time I was here. She asked me, 'Are you from Aulum?' I asked. And now Aulum is Meeke, right?
Yes, it's me.
Maybe he's here to see a new genie.
'Yes, sir. And he said he had something he wanted to say to Yoda, too.
'I guess I'm complaining. These people are like, 'What do you mean you're changing without my permission?' I'm going to say it.
Maybe we shouldn't see each other.

　Aulum tilted his head slightly and asked.

'Well, ...... what to do ......'
Do you want to see him for me?
'Wow!　You're back, Alice.

　Alice asked with a wry smile as she called out from behind me.

'Yeah, I just got home. 'You're Rebecca Neon, right? I'm kind of curious.
Interested?
We're all from the same dungeon.
Yeah, like, ......?

　Same dungeon birth?

'Huh?　What's up, Lyota?
You're frozen.
...... Alice!
Haha!

　I grabbed Alice's shoulder and looked her in the eye from close range.

''Dude, what's wrong with you, Lyota?''
Alice is a 100% drop, right?
'Yes, but ......'
"But the monsters dropped the equivalent of a C, didn't they?
Yeah, I had to time the-- Hi!
Come on!

　I grabbed Alice's hand and headed back the way I'd come.

'Mr Yoda?'
Where are you going, Lyota?
Sorry, I want to try something. Rebecca's all yours.

　With that, he pulled Alice along the corridor with Zunzun.

'What's that?'
I don't know ...... but it was alive and kicking.
Yeah.

　　　　　★

　Fosforus, the lowest level of the basement, 20th floor.
　There were fewer people here than on the other levels, partly because the vault door would take a long time to smash through.

　I took Alice and stood in front of the open door.

"How's that?
You mean, the timing?
Oh, you sense very rare timing?
Yes.
'Early!　How can you know so quickly?
I've been to a lot of dungeons myself.

　Alice grins and gives a mischievous smile.

'I know all sorts of patterns. Here's ...... a messy one.
What do you mean?
'There's always timing, but it's super short. One second - hmmm, maybe a ten-thousandth of a second?
That's why I didn't.

　There's always a 1 in 10,000 chance of that happening.

And since the time is right I'm not going to tell you how to beat him.
Hmm, I think I'm okay?
What?
Watch.

　Alice said, and stepped forward to face the vault door.

　'I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'll leave it to you.

'Rietin!'

　Alice used her trump card summoning magic.
　Ryouchin, the deformed me.

　A genuine trump card, with all the same abilities as mine, but only once a day and only for 30 seconds to be called.

'I'm going to call you Ryo-chin.'

　Ryouchin nodded, drew his gun and began to attack the door.

　Just like I did, it's a series of penetrating rounds with two pistols.

　I'm doing that randomly.
　I see, you're going to scrape it off first, and then you'll be able to time your tome--.

"It's out.
What?

　I made a strange sound.
　The door was normally penetrated and normally gone - and there was a staircase that normally led down.

'Huh?　So easily?
That's because Li-ching and I are connected. That's what happens when you have to time it correctly.
That's awesome: ......
What are you talking about?

　Alice says dumbly.

The great thing is Lyota. I didn't give you any other girls.
Oh, by the way,
'I couldn't do this unless I did it with Ryota alone. It was much more successful with just Lyota than with everyone else.

　So that's what it's all about.

Well, here's the stairs.

　Alice turns to the stairs, as if to say, once again.
　I turn to the stairs, too, and I see it.

　The stairs leading to Fosforus' room, they finally come out.
