Emily and Celeste.

 The house at night, in the saloon.
 Where my companions were relaxing, I called these two men first.

'What's the matter, Mr. Yoda?'
'I can vaguely recognize that look. But in some cases it's a sermon.
Maybe so.

 There was something that passed between the two of them and they giggled at each other. 
 I didn't know what it was, so I decided not to think about it and asked the two of them first.

'About the calcium thing, I need you two's help.
What do you want me to do?

 I explained to them both.
 The dungeon is clogged with monsters and I want to clean them up, but if I do it normally, the disposal of the dropped milk is tricky.
 So I want to ask the two Animal F's to help me.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure Celeste in particular is having a bad time with the F-final. But...
Meh.
"Huh?
See, I knew this was a sermon.
'What? What?

 I'm confused by Emily and Celeste's replies.
 'What do you mean?

'Mr. Yoda, it's watery.
Does it smell like water?
They are your friends, and you should feel free to turn to them when you need help.
I can see that, but I'm not comfortable with the way it seems to take advantage of the two of you and your so-called 'no': ......
That's the least of our worries. Right?
Yes, sir!

Emily ...... Celeste ......

 I stare at the two of them.
 Apparently they don't really care - or rather, they're more pissed off that I'm paying attention to them.

'I get it. Please!
I'm on it.
Yes, sir.

Alice, and Eve.

 We got to talking, and now I called the two of them away.
 Alice was playing with a fellow monster and Eve was drinking something like soup.

 Alice came over as soon as they called her, but Eve continued to drink it at her own pace.

 So I take Alice and head over to Eve's place.

'What are you drinking, Eve?'
Carrot Potage.
'Wow, that looks good. Emily made it?
'I don't give a low level, this is a drop of life from a rabbit.'
I won't take it.

 You talk about drops of life like it's a bad drink.

So, what can I do for you? I heard you talking about it, but aren't me and Eve going to be of any help?

 Alice wonders.
 They're both regular animal dropers.
 They can't do what I asked Emily and Celeste to do.

'Yeah, I didn't. After Emily and Celeste clean up (...), we'll let the original adventurers in on the calcium for a while. Then we'll have the dropped milk sent to our house with magic cart technology.
...... disposal?

 Eve said, and I nodded.
 Yes, disposal.
 Eve had done it once, so I understood immediately.

'I want you to turn it into a haggler and take it down. Then it will go away clean.
'I know! Okay, I'll take care of it.
Is that all the rabbit has to offer?

 Two people who are motivated, especially Eve, are more motivated than ever.
 I want to be with a genie for Carrots, and that's why Eve was extremely positive about this case.

'That's fine for now, because things could still change,'
N......

 Eve nodded and returned her attention to the carrot potage as it was.

'Hey,'
Hmm? Aulum.

 Aurum, who had been far away, came over and spoke to me with a strange look on his face.

'Shouldn't you be using her?'
"...... Nihonium, right?

 Aulum nods.
 Another spirit, Nihonium, who is not in the salon now.

 During Tennesin's time, he used Nihonium's help to keep the monsters out.
 Calcium, too, is fine in the extreme.

 But I don't.

 My girlfriend is being stalked by her housemate Sakuya these days.
 A stalker, I mean, a necessity for Sakuya.

I think Nihonium would be better off with Sakuya now.
Okay.
You thought it would be better for you, didn't you?
'Yeah, that's why I asked. I figured I'd stop you if you were going to ask me to do something.
Okay.

 If it's not there, fine, Aulum said, and left the salon.

 Now, that's the end of the placement.
 Once Emily and Celeste have wiped out the stock monsters, we can finally get into the calcium breeding process in earnest.
