521 521. Because it's an investment




 Late at night in the salon.

 After everyone has gone back to their rooms, Emily is alone in a daze, having finished cleaning up.
 She's always smiling and calm, so much so that she's been described as the mother of the family, and her always smiling, calm expression is clouded.

 Perhaps reflecting this, the inside of the mansion, which Ryota calls 'warm and bright', also seems to be faintly shaded.

''What's wrong, Emily-san?''

 Then Sakura arrives.

 From the outside, Sakura is the older sister and Emily is the younger one, but Sakura knows exactly where she and Emily stand in this family.

 She speaks to Emily in a more polite and respectful manner than she might have done to Ryota.

'Sakura-chan. What's up? Are you hungry?
I miss that feeling. When we go to the country, grandmothers are always asking 'Are you hungry? Do you want a snack? I don't know if I ever said that.
Haha. ......
'What's more, what's wrong with you, Emily? What's going on in the dark?
Do I look like that?
Yeah. And by the way, all day long.
Yes, it's ....... ......

 Emily was shocked when Sakura pointed it out to her.

'It's actually about ...... Yoda-san,'
What's wrong with your uncle?
'Mr. Yoda has started to push himself again, sir. It's like we're back to when we met.
Oh, you're overreacting. What was it like when you first met her?

 Emily answered Sakura's question, digging up her memories.

 I met Ryota and served him some bean sprout soup.
 A few days later, he suddenly rented an apartment, so he came to hand me the keys to it, and I was a wreck at the time.

 After that, he told Sakura about Ryota "trying too hard" at every milestone.

'That's what Yoda said. The dark circles under your eyes will only start to disappear ...... when they are gone.
That's not good. So you're a company man.
"Shachiku?

 Emily tilts her head slightly.

'That's the kind of person I am. What do you want to do on your next vacation? People who say things like "I'm going to preview a new dungeon - or something like that.
Yes, sir. Mr. Yoda, I don't think about vacations. Again, I'm calculating 1.5 billion piro for 4 million piro a day.
You mean you work 31 days a month. I've been aware of that for some time, but I guess I'm a company man.
'I feel like I have to do something about it. But it's also true that we need the money.
"Hmm.
So I was thinking, "What am I going to do?" ......
Oh, I don't get it.

 Sakura was stone-faced.

'That's a thing ......?
Yeah. Why don't you just ask the spirits for help with that?
You can't do that. Yoda says it's not good to use the power of the spirits you're with.
Yes, I know. I know. But isn't that something like Awlum and Carbon and Phosphorus?
......?

 Emily nodded her head.
 It's true that Sakura was right about those spirits.
 But Sakura's mouth says yes, and then she says, "What's that all about?

What do you mean by that?
No, it's too easy.
......?
You lease vanadium here, right?
Yes, sir.
For 1.5 billion pounds.
That's right.
Normally, when you rent out a dungeon like this, don't you usually get more than you bargained for from the dungeon?
......

 Emily huffed.

 Sakura sighed lightly, "Oh dear," she said.

'That's what I mean. You may not be able to make money with the power of other spirits, but you can make money with the power of vanadium. Because you're paying 1.5 billion a year - you're investing in it.
I'll get Yoda!

 Emily ran furiously towards Ryota's room.

 Sakura, who was left behind, sighed again, oh dear.

'Really, this place is full of sycophants, isn't it?'

 The expression on Sakura's face as she spoke was rather good-natured.
