I stared at Nihonium.

　She stared straight back at me and didn't take a step back.
　Her expression was as calm as usual, but her eyes were serious.

'Okay.'
So ......?

　I nodded back and thought for a moment.
　If I'm going to ask, I shouldn't be shy.

　If I won't do it, I won't do it, and if I do, I'll do it.
　It's definitely better that way.

　It's good that I folded and asked for it, but it's not best to remain reserved in its content either.
　If Nifornium volunteered to do it, even more so.

　In light of those things, I dare to step in - and after thinking about it for a bit, I tell Nihonium.

'I want to make it obvious just by looking.'
What does that mean?

　Aulum asked curiously.

'The monster on the first floor of Tennesin is now a meanie. Just to show off my involvement.
Yeah.
"What Nifornium is going to do is get rid of the drop. Then I want to make it obvious at a glance that I'm involved in that too. Instead of 'Hey, that's funny,' it's 'This is Lyota too! It's like.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

　Aulum nodded and agreed.
　She turned to Nihonium and asked.

'I hear that means, can you do that?'
Yeah.

　Nihonium nodded almost no time.
　It was a no-brainer. He answered immediately, as if to say, "It's not made up.

　　　　　Star.

　Good things come first, so we came to Tenesin.

　The first floor of Tennesin where we came through the transfer gate.
　Me, Aulum, Nihonium, and Meeke, who let the two spirits go through the gate as a matter of course.

　The four of us landed on the ground floor of Tennesin.

'So what are we going to do?'
It's over. Don't you understand?
Yeah?　What do you mean?
...... I understand.
What?　What do you really mean by that?

　Aulum turns his head, saying he doesn't understand it at all.
　If you look closely, Meeke has a similar reaction.

　Monsters, can't the spirits understand?　Or is this one of Nihonium's exceptions?
　I don't know that, but I explained it to them both.

'It's a sign of the Dungeon Master,'
Oh, have you already done that?
Yeah.
You and the dungeon master are out of here. But that doesn't mean Lyota's involved, does it?
No, I understand.
Why?
'...... Yeah, you know what I mean. And this is egregious.
So what are you talking about--

　Aulum turned to me and made a jittery sound.

　Looking at me, Aulum looked out of my line of sight.
　There were several meanies there.
　It wasn't just any meanie.
　All of them are ridiculous guys who give off signs of being dungeon masters.

　Not just one, all of them.
　All of them give off the vibe of a dungeon master.

This means that ......
'Yes. I've put the Dungeon Master's attributes on everything. That's all.
That's all I'm saying-- oh, my God, let's run.

　I shoved Nihonium, Aulum, and Meeke inside the gate and rushed back to the compound.

　I don't know how far the Dungeon Master's attributes are (、、、、), but it doesn't make me weak in ten ways.

　I'm just a strong guy, and if the Dungeon Master's attributes were to be strengthened by adding on top of that, it's safe to say that place is already hell.

　That's why I hurriedly pushed the three of them into the gate and came back.

　When I got back and calmed down, I turned to Nihonium.

'Thank you!'

　He said.
　Nihonium smiled serenely.

　　　　　☆

　The next day, the president's office of the Cyclodungeon Association.
　I came to see Cell, and he and I were alone in the president's office, face to face.

　The business was, of course, about Tenesin - but....

　The closet or locker or whatever it is in the corner of the room is stuffed so tightly with stuff that it looks like it's going to swell up and pop out of the closet at any moment.
　It's the same uneasy feeling you get when you stuff things into a closet and open it up, an avalanche of stuff.

'What's wrong with that?'
What are you talking about?

　Cell blurted out - but

　Pow!

　I heard a popping of the hinges, the door came off a bit, revealing what was inside.
　A head popped out of the corner of my eye.
　A statue of me.

......

　Cell stood up silently and shoved my statue into it, which jumped out of the room silently, and squeezed it with all his might.
　Then he came back and sat down across from me.

'It's a good day for a dungeon, isn't it?'
You're not actually trying to hide anything!

　I went into it big time.
　The fact that this room is usually filled with my statue.
　I'm here, so they hurriedly pushed it in and made it up.

"...... Gohon

　I cleared my throat and re-partitioned.
　That's always the thing with cells, it's not worth rushing into.

　So I went through it and cut to the business I came to.

'How are the negotiations going with the other side?
It's only a matter of time before it's too late.
Are you okay?
I would never say anything I couldn't.

　A confident cell.
　He's a super competent person, except for that (,) hobby, so his current return looked rather cool.

''No need to hide it from Satou-sama, but we're already in the process of negotiating a price.
Okay, then it's really only a matter of time.

　The additional explanations made sense to me.
　It's a cell with a family full of minting dungeons, they won't screw up financially.

　The worst thing you can do is slap him in the face with a wad of cash.

'The problem is, though, in building a city in Tennysin.
What's the matter with you?
This is the information Mr. Sato gathered for me.

　With that, Cell put the paper papers on the low table.

'Speaking in conclusion, none of us should be attacked during the construction of the city.
...... Right.

　Thinking about it for a moment, I understood why.
　Not only would the shadows become stronger when they were attacked, the shadows would be stronger, but it would take a lot of work to bring them back.

'If someone gets attacked, that's enough to stop the construction for days at a time.
'I see. Yeah, if you ask me, none of us should be attacked during construction.
That's a tall order, it's not a straightforward approach, and we're looking for something else to do.
You'll be fine.
What?

　　　　　★

　Tennesin, upstairs.
　I brought the cell here via the transporter room in the mansion.

　I staggered ahead.

"Wait a minute, Master Sato, I am not equipped to fight...
You'll be fine.
What?

　I proceed further stasis, taking the cell with me as I go.
　I'm not born in a dungeon and I come to a staircase that goes up to the third floor with no encounters.

'Is this ...... no monster?'
There you are. It's pretty straightforward.
What's the meaning of this?
"By the way...

　Instead of answering, I walked up the stairs, and Cell followed me.
　The third floor is also an empty shell with no monsters.

It's just like that. Yeah, same thing upstairs.
What's this about ......?
'I've enlisted the help of Nihonium to make me a dungeon master. Only on the first floor.
In Nihonium?

　Cell is astonished.
　Of course, if they say it's not Tennysin, but Nihonium, then so be it.

　But it's only for a moment.
　Cell immediately becomes unconcerned and laughs with a huff.

'That's as good as Satou-sama.'
'So this is a byproduct of doing this and coming up with it, so to speak, but let's put a dungeon master outside the tower for the actual construction. If it's a large area of Nifonium, we can stay outside and still have no monsters on all levels.
Oh!

　Cell exclaims in admiration.

''I'm impressed that you've already taken measures, Satou-sama.

　Boom!

　The hinges popped twice and the smug face of "me" peeked out again.
