What are you wondering about?
I was wondering if it was okay for me to wear it.
That's what he wants, isn't it?

　Plumbum tells me to look at Eli.
　He clings to me and stares up at me.

　Strong ...... pretty strong pleading eyes.

'Yes, let's do that,'
...... (paaa)
Good for you.
...... (Kok Kok Kok)

　A name worthy of Eli, who wants to be named: ...... It's a big responsibility.

　　　　　☆

　I returned to the mansion from Plumbum and walked out with Eli in tow.
　The city of Cyclo is bustling with activity at the end of the year, adventurers and non-adventurers alike, all smiling and full of life.

　While looking at it, though, I headed straight to the Dungeon Society.

''I'm sorry. The chairman is currently out of town. ......

　I came to see the cell, but the receptionist, who I knew, replied with an apologetic look on her face.

'You're not here, when are you coming home?'
He said it was for a while... ......
What.
'He also told me to contact you about Satou-sama at once. Could you come back tomorrow so I can contact you?
Oh, no. It's okay. I'll come back when I'm back.

　With that, I left the dungeon society.
　If I told him I was looking for him, Cell would be quick to swoop in, but it's hard to get him to do that much.

　And I'm not in a hurry.

　I walked out of the dungeon society and spoke to Eli.

'Sorry Eli, give me a few days to think about it. In return, I'll give it some serious thought.
...... (pulp)

　Eri shakes her head.
　It doesn't mean no, but it appears to be a look that says, "Don't worry about it.

'Thanks, Eri. If only those takarabako that came out a while ago had come out now.
......?
I just need to look up some things.

　Takarabako, a special monster that exists outside of the dungeon and drops "things not of this world" if you defeat it.

　I've defeated them a few times, and they all dropped things from the world I was from.

　What I want now is a book on chemistry.

　To be honest, I don't know that much about erythronium.

　I knew it was an element the moment I heard about it because it's ____um.
　There's aluminum, magnesium, and some of my friends have nihonium in Aulum.

　But I don't know much more than that.
　I don't know anything about the element erythronium at all.

　If you're going to give it a name, I think you should know it right.

'When Cell comes back, I'll come back and ask him to collect some tacarabones.
...... (smiling)

　With Eri smiling and nodding, I decided to go back out for a moment.

　　　　　☆

'Good morning, Mr Yoda, good morning, Mr Yoda.'

　The next morning, Emily's gentle voice wakes me up.

'Good morning, Emily,'
Good morning, Mr. Yoda. We have a visitor.
Customer?
Yes, sir.

　Who would it be? .......
　I get out of bed.
　Eli, who still sleeps attached to me at night, is like a small animal, curled up in a small ball on the bed.
　Coupled with his stubby pajamas, it's adorable and makes me want to watch him forever.

'Mr. Yoda,'
Oh. So, where are the customers?
It's Mr. Neptune.
'Neptune?　...... Are Ran and Lil together?
I'm with you.
Okay.

　I'm a little relieved.

　I'm reading the three of them as the H2O trio.

　Neptune Oxydin.
　Run Hydrogen.
　Lil' Hydrogen.

　With the spirits of Oxydin and Hydrogen, respectively.

　I always imagine the three of them together and never leave no matter what, but the last time Neptune was the only one who came in, both Ran and Lil were in a pinch, and from there it developed into one of Tennysin's cases.

　That was one of the reasons why I had to check to see if they were there first.

　I got dressed and left the room, heading to the parlor in my usual sense.

'We don't have a ....... There's a parlor over here.

　After about ten steps, I realize this.
　Inside my new mansion, the Ellislonium Dungeon.

　Eli, who refuses to let anyone but me and my people into the dungeon, doesn't allow strangers into the dungeon, and therefore doesn't need a guest room.
　That's why I didn't make it.

'Well, Emily, where's Neptune?'
It's in the parlor over there.
Okay.

　He nodded and left the dungeon and returned to his original residence.

　Usually, when you move in, the room is completely different, the air and everything else is different.
　The most obvious thing is that all the furniture is gone and the voices become very loud.

　We don't have that in this house.
　Even if all of my friends move out, this one will still be an Emily space - it will still be bright and warm.

　I walk down that bright hallway and into the guest room.

　Neptune is sitting on the sofa, with Ran and Lil standing behind him, as usual.

　A beautiful woman and a beautiful girl of opposite types, when they are standing on Neptune's back, they are as natural as an angel and a pair of wings.

　As he sat down across from Neptune, he gave her the refreshing smile that had become so familiar to him.

'Hey, good morning,'
What's going on here this morning?
Yeah, I just came to deliver this. Ran, lil.
Okay.
'Totally, why would I do this for a guy like this: ......

　Ran responds with a smile, and Lil mumbles.
　They lifted something from behind Neptune and went around and placed it between us.

'This is ......,'
"Takara Bako.

　Neptune smiling at me.
　The thing placed between us, it was a monster tacarabako.

　It has a distinctive look with an open lid with a rim of jagged teeth, but right now its mouth(,) is tied to a chain and can't open.
　He rattled around trying to wriggle out of it.

'What's the matter with it?'
You tweeted yesterday that you were looking for the tacarabako.
Yesterday?
Did you see ...... differently on the street?
No, ......, that's ......

　A murmur, yeah.
　It's probably about the exchange with Eli. I told Eri to wait until I found the tacarabako.
　Sure, it's a nuanced statement about looking for the tacarabako.

'That's what an acquaintance of mine told me, that's why I've been looking for it.
Have you been looking for it?
I owe you.
Return the favor.
'Because of you, I was able to stay with both Lan and Lil' So, at least I can return the favor.
Yeah. Thanks, that's honestly very helpful.

　It would be rude to say that such a thing is fine.
　To Neptune, being able to be with the two of you is that important, and I'm sure your gratitude to me for holding it together is pretty big.

　So I decided to take it in stride.

What are you going to do with it?　Are you going to power up again?
I'm just looking for something.
'Well, if you still need it, feel free to let me know. I'm not as good as you, but I've got my own handlers.
Yeah, thanks.

　Neptune gets up and walks off with Ran and Lil in tow.
　Ran bowed his head to me, and Lil looked frustrated as usual, but only threw me an eye salute.

　Two different types of people, and I briefly wondered if I'd like to ask Neptune about his familiarity if I had the chance.

　The moment that Neptune put his hand on the doorknob and opened the door.

'Hiya!'

　Emily was on the other side of the door, her hand teasingly knocking.

'Oops, this was bad timing,'
It's okay.
What's going on, Emily?
Mr. Yoda has a visitor.
Again?　Who is it this time?
They're all out there.
Guys?

　I went out into the hallway and looked out the window.
　There were a lot of people in the courtyard of the mansion.

'What the hell is that?' 'Most of the faces that say .......

　People who are treated under the umbrella, such as Cliff and Margaret, just for a quick glance.
　Not only that, but Eric, the gourmand, and Mao Mee, the head of the Filin Dungeon Association.

　All the people I've been involved with were there.

'Huh, looks like I was the first to arrive.
First in line?

　I look at Neptune, who has come alongside me.

'What?　Okay, guys: .......
Yeah. Look at the feet.
'...... Really!　They're all getting takarabako!
Word must have gotten around.
'My tweets?　Why again?
'There are quite a few faces I know, and of course I know my episodes with you. Aren't they all returning the favor?
......

　That reminds me.
　All the faces in the yard are people I've helped in some way.
　They've all caught some kind of plantain. There are more than ten of them, if you count them roughly.

So this is your moral compass.
