Good morning.

　Before going to the dungeon, we stopped at Prumbum's place first.

I've been waiting for you. Oh, you look radiant.
Yeah, I'm thanking you for your help today.
Concubine?
You got me back on my feet so I could buy a ring for my people.
"Law.

　Plumbum smiled.

'That was quicker than you first expected. Congratulations on this.'

　And he was as happy as if it was his own.

'I owe you a lot, and that too. Thank you so much.
I was doing it for me.
For yourself?

　What do you mean?　She tilts her head back and asks, "What do you mean?

If you were to collapse from overwork or something, you would not be able to come to her. I've done this to avoid that.
Okay.

　Plumbumbum is not lying.
　It's not a bullshit.

　Just like any other spirit, she only wants what she wants.

　What Plumbum wants is to "come to see you".
　Plumbum wants to come back to see me when I walk away.

　It's pointless for her to invite me to the mansion or for me to live here forever.
　In the course of our not-so-short relationship, I saw that clearly.

But thank you nonetheless.
It's an honest thing to do.
So, I brought you this.
What's this?
The ring.

　I opened the box I held out and showed Purumbum the ring.

"You want to give it to your mistress?
'Yeah. As we speak, we're going to give Aulum and the others a ring as well.
"Ho, tell me more about it.
That's the idea.

　I smiled and sat down in front of Plumbum, smiling.
　The usual position, the usual talk time.

　After arranging the rings for the adventurer group, Sakura suggested that we give each of the spirit and merchant groups a different ring as a gift.
　I told Plumbum all about it without hiding it.

'I see.'
And this is the same ring I gave to the spirits.
Is that for a concubine?
I don't visit the house, but I see him every day. He's like a friend to me.
Okay. Then I'll take it.

　Plumbum received the ring from me with a smile on her face.
　I could tell it wasn't that important to her when she didn't try to put it on right away.

'...... you guys are awesome,'
Come on, man.
You spirits know exactly what you want. You know exactly what you want, and you'll never waver. I think that's really cool.
I don't know why it's valued.
That's why.

　If Sakura is here, she'll say, "Did I do something again?　That's right! I guess that's what I'm excited about.
　That's how much that of Plumbum and the other spirits was great in my eyes, and it didn't matter to the girls themselves.

But I have to return the favor.
Returning?
He was given something expensive and then given a higher compliment. Isn't that the kind of thing people do in return?
That's true, but ...... is a good place to start.
"Hmmm.

　Plumbum turned into a thoughtful face without any pushback.
　This is another characteristic of spirits, they don't bend when they decide to do something like this.

''Mm, let's do this.''

　Plumbum said, and held out his palm upward.

　The palm of his hand glowed with an awful light, and then a ring appeared from it.

'In return,'

　He gives me a big peck on the neck and hands it to me.

"Thanks, I'll try to put it on--mph.

　The moment I put on the ring I received, I noticed the effect (,).

"Is this the same as ...... that recovery?
''Mm, it's a power that I supported you with when you were trying to do your best. When you wear that ring, wherever you are, it recovers in the same way. Just in case, it's for you only. Don't let anyone else use it.
Thank you. That's very helpful.

　The ring I gave to the spirits came back as an exclusive ring with a tremendous special effect.
