 The main store of the Golden Tree in Hashemi.
 The guest room.
 As soon as I entered the room, I hunkered down on the sofa and let out a sigh of relief as if to replace the air that had accumulated in my chest.

 A fifteen-minute nap at Prunbhum's place would take away the physical fatigue, but that amount of high-speed spinning would cause mental fatigue to build up even more than usual.

 If physical strength is HP, this one is like an MP drain (regardless of status).
 By the way, the combo that consumes the most MP is the "Don't do what you want, ask what you don't know" combo that my boss did to me when I was a rookie office worker.

 If it's 100, today's MP consumption is about 1, so I have no problem with that.

Good work. Here's some cold tea.
Thank you, Ena.
You're welcome.

 Ena put the cold tea she brought in front of me and sat down across from me, holding the tray.

'Sorry, I'm tallying it up now, just give me a minute.'
It'll be fine. We'll go home with you when you're done.
Yes, ...... Hey, Lyota.
Hmm? What's going on?
Wouldn't it be quicker to spend the money?
The money?
'Look, the account I set up for the vanadium tenancy, the money I put in there.
Ah, .......

 That's the thing, I nodded quietly.

 I rented a vanadium dungeon for Vanadium, who was terrified of humans.
 The dungeon belongs to the spirits - or rather, the spirits themselves, a part of the body in a way, but the dungeon has become embedded in "society" in this world.

 The only way to do something about it is to pay for it.

 So I paid a decent market price, 1.5 billion a year, to borrow the vanadium dungeon itself.

'You want me to use the money in that account?'
Yes, there's still about half of it left, and it should be fine to use some.
No, I'm not touching that one.
Why?

 Ena looked at me with a look of pure doubt.
 Come to think of it, I left the paperwork of setting up an account and moving money around to Ena and Elsa, but I didn't explain it to them.

'Vanadium's lease - well, rent, I put it all together for a year and put it in a separate account.
Yeah.
That way, no matter what happens over the next year, at least the vanadium will be safe. For instance, if I don't do that, if I don't do my business as usual, the amount I've paid in and the amount I've spent on this case will nearly wipe out all my money.
I know. But Mr. Lyota...
What if I get sick in here?
What?
'Even if you're not sick - well, what if some genie grabs you and locks you up with a genie for a few months?
......
'If you do, you'll be putting the vanadium through another trauma. That's why we're saving it for a year ahead.

 And ...... rent arrears are pretty mind-blowing.
 I'm not going to be kicked out of the house legally after a month or so in arrears, but I feel bad when I'm asked to do so.
 And the dizzying feeling of being on your feet is very distressing.

 In terms of MP--that's close to 99% percentage damage.
 I don't want to go to ...... anymore of that stuff.

 ...... Well, that's what happened in the past.

That's why I'm not going to touch that one. That's the very promise I made to Vanadium.

 I don't break my promises.
 I won't break a promise so they believe me.

......

 Ena sighed lightly.
 But it's a smile, I can't sense any bad feelings.

'That ...... look you just gave me, you should have done that after Elsa came.
'Oh, so that's what Elsa thought, too. Well, I'll explain it to you later.
That's not what I'm talking about, though.

 Ena sighed again, this time for some reason, like a bit of a gasp.

'Huh?'
After the second time, the thrill wears off, even if it's the first time you see it.
?
I'm the kind of person who wants to go to a play for its opening night performance, you know.
Yeah.

 I don't know, but it sounds like she's proud of herself for something.

'All right, I'll take care of the rest.'
I'll take care of it. ......What?
'We'll definitely get enough rocks for the number of people. Even if you have money, it won't do you any good if you don't have things.
'Oh ...... yes. Please!
So that look ...... oh my god!

 Ena giggled again, then patted herself on the head and stood up to leave the room.

 I'm not sure ...... if that's what Ena says, but it's safe to say.
 They are the ones you can trust when it comes to stocking up.
