The saloon at the mansion at night.
　I was relaxing with my friends for the first time in a long time after a big day of work.

　Emily space.
　Despite the fact that it's nighttime, the space is warm and bright, and just by being there you can heal your fatigue.

''Oh, thank you for your hard work, Lyota-san.
Elsa.
Here you go.
Ina, too.

　Two of my best friends, who were part of Tsubame's gratitude business trip group, arrived.
　When I handed Ena her glass, Elsa quickly drank her beer.

I'm sorry.
Nope. Oh, I tried chilling this beer like Ryota-san taught me before, how do you like it?
Oh?

　The beer that was poured was indeed very cold.
　To tell the truth, we don't have the custom of drinking beer chilled in this world.
　You can order a beer at a restaurant and have it chilled, but usually we drink it as it is.

　The beer itself is good, and I'd half given up on it, thinking it was European style.

'They chilled it for me,'
Yes!
"She bought a magic fruit for this one, and she learned ice magic for this one--
'Wow!　Wah-wah!

　Elsa shouted out, interrupting Ena's words.
　Elsa's face was bright red and Ena had a teasing little devilish look on her face.

'Magic fruit?　For this?
Yeah, the one that mentions that ice magic is a sure thing. That's just not how it works.
Such a thing: ......
No, it's not.

　Elsa's lips twitched and she tried to deny it with a sulking look, but Aulum interrupted the conversation from the side.

　Aulum is attached to Nihonium and Meeke with both hugging each other. Lately I've been seeing the trio together a lot, but Meeke tends to be more reserved with Ahrum, or rather, with Ahrum standing up, while Nifonium is still a bit occupied, so it's Ahrum that's talking.

　Ena tilts her head at Aulum and asks him back.

'Is that so?'
Yeah, you know Lyota.

　Aulum said, and pushed the hugging Nifonium in front of me.
　Tou nihonium remains closed-mouthed with a troubled expression, but ...... sure.

'I see,'
Is that so, Mr. Lyota?
'Yeah, I've done some pinpoint magic decisive work once, thanks to Nifonium.
Well, that wasn't all that much of a lie.
It's not true.
Huh?

　Aulum missed the ladder immediately when he thought he was about to follow up.
　Ena raised her bare voice.

'You just said it could be a lie.
It's possible, but we're the only ones who can do it.
Oh, I see. A non-spiritual, ordinary human being is impossible.
I see.

　When Aurum nodded, Erza had to agree.
　What a spirit says in this world is close to 'absolute'.
　It doesn't have the same compulsion as a god, but it's more persuasive for that reason.

''That's because. You're going to learn the lesson from this and stop messing around with the bad stuff.
There's no such thing as a badge of honor: ......
The love spell I keep in my window...
'Wow!　Wah-wah-wah.

　For the second time today, Elsa interrupted her words with a loud voice.
　She closed in on her best friend, Ena, with tears in her eyes.

'Ena!'
Hahahaha, sorry, sorry.
Already .......

　Elsa's cheeks puff out and she turns away.
　She's competent and firm when she's at work, but when she's off hours, she has this cute side to her.
　I'm kind of happy to see that more often since I've been dispatched and come to live in the mansion.

　The corners of my eyes dropped out of my head, so I made sure they didn't extend to the bottom of my nose.

'Low level,'
What's up, Eve?

　This time it was Eve who spoke to me.
　She has her own rabbit ears and a stuffed rabbit.

　She has two patterns of clothing.
　A bunny suit, a battle suit for going to dungeons, and this stuffed rabbit as loungewear.
　And this stuffed rabbit that serves as her loungewear.

　The double rabbit ears, both her own and the hood, are a bit interesting and quite cute.

　Pita.

　Without warning, such Eve slammed a hand sword into my head.

''What's up with that all of a sudden?''
Carrot Loss.
Yeah.
When will the low-level carrots resume?
I'm sorry, I'm taking a break and I'll go back tomorrow and get it for you.
Really?
'True. But then again, you really like carrots.
I want to live in a dungeon with a low level.

　It's a slightly unsettling line from the other women, but Eve is the only one who doesn't have a hint of s*x appeal.

"You sound like you're going to a deserted island with a knife.
...... fully automatic knife?
'Convenient!　Or rather, deny the knife crap.

　Chuckling bitterly, I drink the beer Elsa has poured for me.

''Eve-chan, would you like some carrot juice?''
"Swallow!　Even if the heavens and the earth were turned upside down and the moon and the stars were swallowed up by the sun, and all the dungeons died out, the rabbit would still drink.
You're killing us!

　Aulum, the spirit of the dungeon, the dungeon itself, protested with a laugh.

'Please, sir,'

　Emily smiled serenely and handed Eve the carrot juice, which was probably freshly squeezed.
　I'd been rushing in every time I'd heard Eve get talkative in front of the carrot at first, but now I was so used to it that I was no longer tsking.

　Celeste seemed to be staring at her notes or something from a little distance, so I walked up to her and asked over my shoulder.

'What's that?'
'Hi!　Nah, what the hell, it was you, Ryota. Don't freak me out.
I'm sorry. What's more important, what is that?
I've been compiling a notebook with all the information Mr. Lyota has given me about Tennessee.
Oh, did I mention you asked about that?
'Yes, I thought it would be good to have a proper summary eventually. When I'm around, I can answer the questions if you ask.

　Celeste is a wizard.
　She's the top of the family in terms of instantaneous annihilation with her high level range magic, but she also has a great knowledge of dungeons.
　She says that she has all the dungeons in Cyclo, and all the other dungeons I've been to in her head.

　That Celeste sums up her knowledge of dungeons.
　It's like an examination notebook, and it's a very easy to understand notebook for the top of the grade.

Wow, that's amazing. You are very good at putting it all together. Oh, it's not just in Tennessee, is it?
I have all the information I need to know.
Yeah, great. That's my boy.
...... How long have you been around?

　I became aghast.
　It was Neptune who had naturally joined the conversation.
　If you look closely, he wasn't the only one, his H2O friends Lil and Ran were there too.

　The two girls were a little ways away, drinking the carrot juice Emily had offered them.

'Haha, this place is nice. It's beautiful and you can relax just by being here. Oh, thank you, Great Mom.
You're welcome, sir.

　Neptune himself got a drink from Emily and thanked her for it.

'What?'　That Great Mum is.
That's her second name, don't you know?　Emily, the Great Mom, the backboss of the Lyota family, is a very famous person.
"I know you're famous, but I can't help but think of you at ......

　He turned to Emily, she giggled in embarrassment.
　He seemed to know what he was talking about.

'I've never heard those two names before,'
But it fits.
Yeah.

　I nodded clearly.
　This mansion, or rather the space Emily tends and maintains, is always warm, bright, and, no joke, emits a soothing vibration like a temple.
　It only makes sense that she would be called by that name.

　I'd rather be called Godmam.

'It's a nice place, and it's an amazing place, isn't it?'
Great?
Not only are you and all the other adventurers amazing, but it's a little hard to believe that you have two spirits.
No, no.

　Alice, who had been playing with her fellow monsters at a distance, came over.

'No?'
Mellameters.
Yeah?

　Neptune tilts his head slightly as he looks at the Meramera that Alice held out to him in her hand.

''What's a melamella too?''
...... Hmm?
It's phosphorous.
...... Yeah.

　Neptune ponged, and hit his hand.

'I knew about Alice Phosphorus, but I didn't know the genie was supposed to look like that.
We've been friends since we were born.
I guess so.
It's all thanks to Lyota. Hey Mela Mela.

　Melamella glowed with the glow of fire, the meaning of the affirmation clearly readable.

'Oh no, it's getting more and more amazing.'

　As he spoke, Neptune's expression had a hint of something in it.
　I recognized the expression on his face, so I asked him.

"What's wrong? What's going on?
Ha-ha, your eyes can't fool me. I'm just trying to get a few things right. I'd like to make a suggestion.
Proposition?
Yeah, it's a lot to take in, combined with a lot of other things that only you can do. And we'll make it happen.
The way you're lifting it up scares me.
Don't worry. It's not dangerous this time. I promise you that.
That scares me more and more: "What is it ......?
"Would you like to buy Tenesin?　Just me and you.

　A moment later, the inside of the salon went silent.
　My friends and Neptune's friends all closed their mouths and stared at us.

　By the way, there was one person who didn't seem to be interested. It was Eve.

'What happened?'
After my client heard the report, I thought I'd find a way to put up a column.
...... Seriously?

　Pillar of Man.

　With that word, I immediately understood what was going on.
　Because I was the one who had solved the mystery of Tennesin.

　No, it's because it's us.
　Black corporate bastards, their upwardly mobile counterparts are this time the 'human pillar'.

Well, that's just not gonna happen. I thought the only way to stop it was to buy the Tennessean itself.
I see.

　I thought for a minute.
　As my friends looked on, I thought.

　Suddenly, I caught sight of Eve.
　I remembered the conversation I had with her earlier.

　That conversation made me think of one possibility.
　I put that possibility into a realistic place and think about it for a moment.

'I don't know,'
More than that.
Yeah?
Let's build a city.
The city?
Yeah, there's a city in Tennessee.

　Was the answer so unexpected?
　Neptune was stunned.

　After a few moments, he returned to his usual smile.

''You're still an amazing person,''

　He said.
