Neptune and I went out into the yard together.

　I left my friends over here and two of Neptune's friends in the mansion.
　There are two reasons for this. One, because the story will be a little heavy going forward.

'So, what exactly is your employer ...... going to do about it?'
Remember when we used father and son slime in our experiments?
Yeah, it was tricky, so I only did it once. So what about it?
'Even with all the children gone, they were still alive in Tennysin, and the fakes were frolicking with their children.

　I gave a small nod.

　The parent-child slime is a monster with a special way of defeating it.
　Although it's called a parent-child, it's a single slime, although it seems to be more like an individual that's "separated" from each other.

　The "child" of a parent and child is practically a limb-like position.

　I experimented to see what that would actually do in Tennessee, and Neptune was right about the results.

　It was an experiment I was doing on my own, but Neptune would do the reporting, so I was telling him about it.

When I told him, he said, "Well, you could do the same thing with humans...
I feel nauseous.
Me too.

　Neptune smiling, as usual.
　Her eyes, however, were not smiling.

'As expected, that ain't it, it would have been more convincing if you had told me you'd still drug me to sleep.
I'm not so sure about that either.
Agreed. That's why I'm bringing this up to you. I figured you'd be on board.

　Neptune's right.
　There's no way I'm going to overlook that.

　To be robbed of everything, to be kept alive just for the sake of the dungeon, to be exploited.
　There's no way I'm going to overlook that.

"It's a good thing the dungeon isn't up and running yet, isn't it?

　I nodded.
　Neptune, who had finished explaining the situation in a nutshell, came staring at me, as if it was your turn now.

''Well. Tennesin--what exactly do you mean by building a city in the dungeon?
Yeah, I think I'm about to--
For Sato-sama, we'll go to the wind.

　With a line of dialogue I'd never heard before, but which no longer surprised me, the cell appeared.
　The second reason. Because if I spoke here, Cell would hear me.

'Cell stem?　Why?
I figured if I talked to you in here, I'd get some hell-ears.
I see.

　That was enough to convince Neptune. That's okay, so.

　...... Let's not say that talking about it inside the mansion would have made the cell appear divine.
　If I did, I'd imagine it so clearly that I'd be horrified.

"I've been listened to.
Did you hear me?
I've heard all about Master Sato.
All of them?

　I ask back, raising an eyebrow.

'Mm!　Depending on the content of the story, the movement of the muscles, the wrinkles in the clothing, and even the aura itself will change. That's what I have to keep in mind when I'm building a statue of Lord Sato.
......

　Neptune looked at me with his "that's a lot of work" eyes.

　There were a few things that Cell talked about that were new to me, but they were all "this guy would do it" things, so I wasn't surprised now.

　I was a little baffled, though.

　I cleared my throat one cough, got myself together and asked Cell.

If you've been listening, then you're quick to talk, my idea is that 'that person' is the village leader and there's a village for each floor, but is it possible?
Of course.
It's a quick answer.

　Neptune is slightly surprised.

'They've already done something similar in the Cyclo dungeon.
Oh, the rest stop.

　Haha Neptune.
　I don't use it myself, so I guess I was out of ideas.

　Yes, since Cell arrived, all of Cyclo's dungeons had resting places except for Nihonium.

　It was like having an inn in the dungeon, and if the adventurers got into trouble, they could run there to rest their bodies and recover their HP and MP.

　They have a track record of protecting that resting place from monsters and running it.
　I don't know exactly what they do and how they do it, but I thought I could use it to talk to Cell.

'Are you sure?'
It's no trouble.
How do you negotiate with Neptune's employer?

　This is another reason why I approached Cell to talk to him.

　Neptune said that we could buy the dungeon together and put up the money to buy it, but buying a dungeon isn't that simple.
　We might be able to do it in the future, but right now we don't have that much money to do it.

　But the cell is different.

It's a no-brainer.

　Sure enough, Cell replied simply.

'Then can you ask?'
I would like to ask for Mr. Sato's help. I'd like to smooth the negotiation process.
Tell me, if there's anything I can do to help, I'll do it.
Only Satou-sama can do that. Only Satou-sama can do that.

　Cell grinned and gave an evil smile.

'I'm going to need you to let Satou-sama take care of the Tenensin's sham monster until the negotiations are over.

　Cell said, and me and Neptune huffed almost simultaneously.

'Hostages,'
'Holding a dungeon hostage is certainly something only you can do.
'Then let's take it downstairs, we shouldn't even let it in properly.
Thank God.

　Cell said, and the three of us chuckled at each other, including me and Neptune.
