A village of monsters, Lyota.

　On the outskirts of the village is the dungeon Phosphorus.
　A bonus dungeon floating in a blizzard of dancing cherry blossoms.

　Two unique monsters, residents of the village, are escorting us at the entrance.
　Me, Cell, and Clayman, the actual head of the village, stood in a line and looked at them.

''So, we'll leave the management of this to you guys.
'Leave it to me, Master Lyota, for everyone in the village is in the fire and water.
'Don't be so uptight. ...... is this okay?

　I ask Cell, who is on the other side of the room, while tsking Clayman with a smirk.

'I can't complain. The Lord is gone and the dungeon is no longer dropping. I will manage it by depositing it in a village of monsters that can't enter the dungeon. As expected of Satou-sama, that's a perfect idea.''
It's fine to keep it in the cyclo, but if that's not enough, some adventurers will try their luck a little bit later on.
Hmm, this is the best shape for this dungeon.

　Sel did so and turned to Clayman.

'I and anyone else who isn't Satou-sama are not to be allowed to enter.
I'll take care of it.
"We'll pay you a monthly maintenance fee.
'What?　No, no such thing: ......

　Clayman was puzzled, and I quickly went to talk him down.

It's a good job to be a bodyguard. And besides, it's a proper job to keep the cell in check when it comes to managing Phosphorus.
Haha. ......

　Clayman looked at Cell with a puzzled look on his face.
　Cell nodded quietly.

''...... Okay, I'll take it. I'll give Lyota-sama the top payment properly later.''

　I nodded silently, but laughed even harder.
　That's exactly what I shouldn't have to worry about, but the Claymen wouldn't listen to me if I said that.

　Ever since everyone in the village turned into unique monsters in Bodley Lyota, the monsters started to respect me more and more.
　I feel like I've broken through and reached the level of "worship".

'By the way, Cell-san, I have one thing to discuss with you: ...... here.
Hmm?　What's going on?

　Clayman took Cell and moved a little further away.

'That's why everyone wants to ...... ...... ......,'
'I see. ...... then I'd be happy to go to .......'

　The distance is so subtle that it only sounds fragmented, but it sounds like Cell is on board with Clayman's proposal.

　I don't know what it's about, but this village will be safe when it has the backing of a cell.
　Whatever it is, it's a welcome development.

　GOT!

　A miniature statue of me fell to the ground from the sleeve of the cell.

　Wait for .......

　You guys ...... are consulting on what.

　　　　　☆

　I'm back in the cyclo.

　I circled around the city, feeling like I was taking a walk.
　The city of Cyclo, which had visibly decreased in number of things after the Fosforus incident, was slowly returning to normal as the adventurers returned to the dungeon with the disappearance of the bonus stage.

'Ah, it's Lyota.'
Really?
It's true.

　Suddenly, they called my name and the kids swarmed me.
　All of them were boys, all of them school age, all of them energetic and wannabe boys, all crowded together.

　They half squirmed and said things like, "That's real," and "Why are you so strong?
　The boy was surrounded by the same flirtation and enthusiasm as if he had seen a professional baseball player.

　I was bewildered, but I had to deal with the boys who turned to me for genuine favors.
　They asked me for my autograph or something like that, and I had no choice but to write something like that for them.

'Oh, what are you doing, Ryota?'
Who is this Alice?

　The one who came over was Alice, who had all her fellow monsters - all of them, including the new addition, Mela Mela, on her shoulders.
　She looked at me, who was squirming, and had a strange expression on her face.

''This is--''
'Wow!　It's Alice, man!
Alice is that new genie in the bottle?
'Seriously?　Which one?　Which one is the genie?

　The boys all went towards Alice at once.
　They swarmed around as if to idolize the first pitch, just as they did to me.

'Ooh, Alice is a celebrity too,'

　Crisis (?) I looked at Alice and the boys with a remarkably calm eye.
　I was actually surrounded by them, so I knew they would be fine.

　Alice was also attacked in three places: questions, handshakes and autographs.
　After doing that once, the boys left, looking satisfied.

'Feng ......'
Are you okay?
Oh, Lyota. Yeah, I'm fine. But I was surprised. Didn't Ryota get hit by that?
Well.

　With a bitter smile, he shrugs.

'I see. ...... ugh.'
What's going on? You look happy.
Because, hey.
No, no, no, no, no, no.

　I'm not sure.

　I wasn't sure, but Alice seemed happy.
　So, I thought, okay.

　Suddenly, a breeze blew.
　A warm spring breeze. The cherry blossom blizzard, which was nearing its end, was gaining strength.

'It's beautiful, isn't it, Sakura?
'Yeah, it's about to end, but ...... might be the most beautiful right now.'
...... Hey Lyota, let's go see the flowers again.
'What?　I've already seen the cherry blossoms--
Come on, I'll get a spot. I'll get you a spot this time.
You looked like you did it right the last time.
Hey!

　Alice stares at me with sparkling eyes.
　Suddenly, I see Melamela on my shoulder.

'Right, let's do another one of those welcome parties for Melamela!
'Yes!　Then I'm going to go get a spot!

　Alice was in a very good mood and ran off like the wind.

'Alright, let's go for it, Mela Mela!

　Alice's back and her joyful voice as she walked away in a blizzard of cherry blossoms.
　I don't know why I'm trying so hard, but when I saw Alice and Meramela looking so happy, I thought, "Well, that's it.
