At night, as I was gathering with my friends in the salon as usual, Elsa and Ena, who hadn't been there at dinner, came into the room.

'You're welcome back,'

　Emily was the first to get up and run in a flurry as they returned home late.

'Have you eaten?　I can warm you up in no time, okay?
You'll be fine.
'Thanks Emily. More importantly, Mr. Lyota.

　Elsa and Ena are coming towards us.
　Elsa has a very troubled look on her face and Ena has a smiling smile on her face.

　Aside from Elsa, it's rare that even Ena has a troubled look on her face.

''What's wrong?''
'I need to talk to you about ...... carbon.

　Elsa said and glanced at Carbon, who was sitting upright a little further away, staring at me with sparkling eyes.
　Ena looked at it too and nodded her head.

'For that matter, why is she sitting upright in that place?'
Celeste just told me. It's just a matter of staring at them at a distance that is near but far, a distance you can't seem to touch," ...... said. The more you resist the urge to touch them, the greater the joy you feel when you do. ......
Ugh. ......

　Celeste, who was on the other side of the room from Carbon, looked away with a cliché look on her face.

'Haha, I see.

　Ena smiled a devilish smile on her translated face.

'So that's why you're staying away so quietly.
Alice innocently said, 'It's like an ordeal! That's what I said.
I see.
More importantly, what's up with the carbon?

　The conversation went off to the side as far as it could go, so I asked Elsa again.

'Ah, yes. I'm talking about that ...... Arcane.
Single bond?

　I guess this pattern is the name of the city.

'Well, it's the name of a new city made of selenium and carbon.

　I nodded, I knew it was the name of the city.

'What about it?'
'Well, Carbon asked if you could make the monsters come out at night, too. A lot of adventurers have asked me for a favor.
At night?
What, are you talking about office hours?

　Elsewhere, Aulum, who had been chewing on a completely favorite peach, came by.
　She's the first spirit of the Lyota family.

　She wanted to look outside, and I had been picking her up and dropping her off in the morning and evening since Meeke wasn't around at the time.

　That was also the result of a number of things that happened in the Aulum dungeon, and it was decided to prevent the monsters from appearing at night.
　Anyway, that's what happened, and Aulum heard a similar story and came over from the other side.

Yes. Now, in the evening, Lyota-san goes to pick you up, and after that, the monsters don't come out until morning.
Yeah, I know.
They don't make much money doing that. Carbon is so deep that it takes a long time just to get to the level you want.
Yeah, .......

　I see.
　I remember that Carbon has more than 100 floors in all of .......

　That's a lot of travel time.

"So I was approached.
Well, that's part of the reason you asked us to come to Arkan.

　Ena shrugged with her palms up.

'Of course they all seem to understand Lyota and Aulum. They don't do anything unreasonable or anything like that, so I thought we could do something about it.
I see. ...... though.

　I looked at Carbon.
　Carbon is still sitting still and upright at a distance.

'...... You look like a doggie being 'waited on' in front of a bait.
Ugh. ......

　Celeste on the other side grunted again.
　This one seemed to be hurting in his chest from what he had said.

'What?　What's wrong with me?
Can't you just stay in the dungeon longer at night instead of here?　That's what you're asking.

　Aulum summed up the contents rather simply and explained them to Carbon.

'Longer?'
Shit, we're not gonna make it through the dungeon if we stay here.
"Right. ...... I get it!

""What?"

　My friends were surprised to hear the same thing.

　Surprisingly, Carbon really did undertake the task easily.

'Are you sure?'
'Yes!　Because that's going to be an ordeal too.
Ugh. ......

　Celeste grunted more and more.
　I'm sure he's going to start thrashing around on the spot at any moment.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. What do you think, Ryota?

　Ena asked me for an opinion, or in this case, almost a final decision.

　I said Carbon is good, and as long as he's convinced that it's an "ordeal", he'll turn it into honey too.

　The rest will happen if I, the boss of this family, say a few words.
　The only thing left to do is for me, the boss of this family, to say yes.

It's kind of sad, isn't it?
Yeah, it's just...
"Just?
'It's certainly not good to have less time to produce with carbon. Unlike everyone else.

　Ena said, and then turned around and looked around at the spirits in the salon.

　Everyone else - the other spirits.

　Aulum, Nifonium, Phosphorus, and Vanadium.

　Certainly, these four dungeons would not be a problem for everyone's lives without them.

　Aurum is gold, a luxury that doesn't need to be there.
　Nihonium was never a drop in the first place.
　Fosforus is rather bad for the adventurers if he's there, so I asked him to keep him out of the dungeon.
　Vanadium was also forcibly eliminated by another person.

　Compared to that, Carbon is a dungeon of fruits and vegetables and plants.

　Moreover - there are more than 100 levels.

　It's a dungeon that can be a granary, so to speak.

　It's ...... certainly not a good idea to stop.

　But that doesn't mean it's not a good idea.
　It's not a good idea to put her back in the dungeon at this time of night when everyone else is here.

I'm wondering if there's a better way: ......

　At my mumbling, my friends twisted their heads in unison.

'...... Carbon.'

　Suddenly, Celeste, who had been moaning, writhing, and continuously regretting her statement, stood up and stood in front of Carbon.

'What?'
You have over 100 different monsters at your place.
Yes.
We're all different in our abilities.
So what?
Is there a monster that can transform itself into your form against Lyota?

""--"

　They were all surprised and flabbergasted.
　Maybe it would work with her own abilities.
