The diner at night.
　While my friends are moving one by one to the saloon, I stay behind in the cafeteria.

　Emily is cleaning up after dinner, and Eri is helping her in a friendly way.
　It's dangerous to watch her help at such a young age, but it also makes me smile.

We're like a real father and son!

　Alice, who was the only one other than the cleanup group who hadn't moved to the salon, said something like that to me.

'We're only sisters in appearance, though.
Chitty, I'm not ready for that yet, Ryota. In your mind's eye, in your mind's eye, you see...

　Alice closed her eyes and said with a scowl.

'You look like a very happy mother and daughter.
'I don't need to be told that with skills I don't have,'

　I chuckled, but Alice protested strongly.

'Disrespect!　This is a dungeon and Eririn is a spirit. Even if I close my eyes, I can still see Erilin!
'Come to think of it, did you have a dungeon-born skill: ......, and yet the only one you can see is Eli.
...... tee-hee.

　Alice, Pe-chan, please, closed one eye and flicked her tongue out.

'Mmm,'
What's going on?
No, you look like a mother and daughter over there and you're a little Emily.　I thought it was cute because I could kind of see Emily as a little girl.
'I see. ...... I wonder when they started being able to hold that hammer.
I feel like I could have had it since I was about the same age as Erilyn.
...... is very clear.

　Now Eri, if you told me that he's been twirling that hammer around far more than 100 kilos since he was about three years old, I would honestly believe you.

'So, you know, I was wondering what kind of kid Lyota was.
Oh, I see.

　When I was a kid.

I don't remember much.
How does it look?
I wonder how it went: ......

　I try to remember, but my memory of what I looked like as a child is so fuzzy that I seem to remember it.

'Hmmm, can't you do something like that with ri-ching?'

　It's a summoning spell called Lyotin, All Might.
　It's a magic that summons an alter ego that has the same ability as mine, and the one I summoned looks like a stuffed animal, so I call it Alice Rilichin.

Do you want to try it?
'Yeah, I'll try it in the dungeon tomorrow.'

　By the way, that's a limit of one per day, and you've already used it today.

Ah.
What have you done now?
There's a monster in the bathroom.
"Monster?

　Me and Alice looked at Eri at the same time.
　Eli is still helping out in a bad way.

　When Ellislonium is converted into a mansion, Eli usually sets it up so that monsters don't appear at all.

　There is no way they can appear.

'Let's go have a look.'
I'm coming with you.

　We both left the diner and moved toward the bathroom.
　Then there was a box-shaped monster with jagged teeth on the edge.

'That's Takara Bako!'
Unusual.

　Takarabako.
　A rather irregular existence in this world.
　They appear in dungeons and towns, and if you defeat them, they drop interesting things.

　They are said to be something that doesn't exist in this world, or a reminder of something you defeated.

Do you want to beat it?
Yeah, we're in a house and we can't just let him run around.

　I stuck out my hand and chanted, "Repetition.
　A spell that instantly kills a monster that has been defeated once.

　Takarabako, which I had defeated a few times before, died instantly, unable to do anything about it.

　With a pop, something dropped and landed on the ground.

''A book?''

　Alice cranes her neck and goes to the drop.

　She picks it up and flips through it.

'What's this, there are all kinds of pictures.'
Let's see. ...... is a grad student.
Graduation?
It stands for graduation album. And this is ...... from my elementary school days.

　I knew just from that page I opened.

'Well, ...... you mean?　Lyota's what?
It's something I remember from my childhood.

　I gave Alice, who didn't even know what the picture was, a cursory explanation.

'Heh ...... that?'
What's the matter now?　
Is this by any chance from Lyota's childhood?
............

　I kept my mouth shut.
　I didn't want to admit it.

　The schoolboy in the picture there was holding a sword with three straws connected together and lengthened to make it look like a sword, or something like that.

　On top of that, there's something that looks like a coat of arms handwritten on his palm.

　Black history.
　It's a bad kind of black history.

"No, this is--
Oh, right, when Lyota was a kid.
No, that's not it.
Hey, guys, when Lyota was a kid, it was so funny.

　Alice ran off with her graduate certificate to the salon.

'Wait!　No, you can't!　Give me that back.
Liuchin!

　Alice turned around and used All Might.
　The plush, deformed me is summoned from a rift in space.

''Wait!　I thought you'd already used it!
I didn't say that. It's just a waste of time.
d*mn!

　I'm not going to be the only one who's been in the same boat for a while.
　It's a good idea to make sure that you're not going to be able to get out of it.

　You'll be able to find a lot more than just a handful of people in your area.

''Hahahahaha,''
It's so cute!
Mr. Lyota: "Mr. Lyota, ...... there was a time like this: ......

　My friends were excited about the graduate that Alice brought in.
　There's a lot of material to get excited about in that ...... graduate.

　d*mn, I can't believe that stuff dropped.

　I made up my mind to be cautious the next time I saw another tacarabako.
