 The next day I headed to the Cyclodungeon Society.
 The new Nifonium attack was over for now with that one.
 The attack had been requested by the cell, so I had to report back to them.

 Report back and officially allow the adventurers into the dungeon.

 That's what Nihonium wants, so I decided to fix that first.

 When I entered the dungeon association, a receptionist I knew led me to the chairman's office.

 The inside of the chairman's office was unoccupied.

 The cell has a 'real job'.
 He doesn't always reside in the chairman's office of this cyclodungeon association.

 It's inherently strange to be made to wait in the chairman's office, not the parlor, but it's something I've experienced many times, so I've gotten used to it.

 I sipped the tea that was served to me and waited, when Cell appeared shortly afterwards.

'Oh!' Welcome, Mr. Sato!

 Cell appeared in the Chairman's office, looking more excited than ever.
 He came in front of me in a state of excitement and sat down on the couch facing me.
 It's even more obvious when you see it up close, Cell's eyes were shining as bright as they could be.

'Oh, oh? What's wrong, you seem to be getting all worked up about it.
'I heard that Satou-sama has been turned into a spirit!
'You're still fast as ever! From where?
There's nothing about Master Sato that we don't know.
Yeah, yeah, .......

 I kind of cracked up.
 I don't care about this level of assertion considering what I've done so far, but I still drew back a bit.

Oops, don't get me wrong. I'm only looking at the 'public' Satou-sama in a casual manner. I haven't stepped a single millimeter into 'my' territory.
Oh, yeah?
I would have to say that it's unbelievable to get into the other person's 'me'.
Did she finally call herself a believer?

 I plunged in with such force that my voice flipped over.
 I've been a believer in what I've done in the past, building figure-sized statues, but this might be the first time I've made such a strong statement.

...... Speaking of which, are you making some kind of statue this time too?
'Oh! Finally, Satou-sama!

 Cell was overjoyed and took out statue after statue from his pocket.

 One after another.
 One after another.
 One after another, one after another--

How much do you make? I mean, how many can you fit in there! That bosom!

 I had to make another tweak to the point that my voice flipped over again.
 The figure-sized statue that Cell took out of his pocket was over twenty in that moment.

''Mm, that's about half of it,''
Is it still half full?

 After I plunged in, I looked at the statue.

 When I looked closer, I realized it wasn't just mine.

 There was also a scene set inside where I was shielding the office bureau (、、、、、).

'How do you know this stuff?'
"If you are full of faith, you can do what you want.
No, I don't normally do that.

 Even I was in the first dungeon I've ever been sent to.

 ...... Well, this (,) in the cell this (,) is not the first time, and I shouldn't think too much about it.

 I took one deep breath and re-partitioned.

'I'm here to tell you about the new niftonium.
Hmm.

 Then, Cell also switched his expression.
 He wore a crisp, competent vibe without the slightest hint of the buoyancy he had felt earlier.

 As it became easier to do, I reported on the dungeon in Nihonium.
 I handed Cell a document that I had made beforehand - a thing that looked like a strategy book format - and explained it in order from the first floor.

 While nodding, Cell listened with a serious face.

''So, the shallow levels are nasty in places, but skilled adventurers -- starting at about 2 stars or so -- should be able to get through without problems.
The problem is the last ......, er, raiding, huh?

 The words that me and Sakura brought in, apparently unfamiliar to this Sekai, Cell said them with a slight stumble.

'Yes.'
Maybe we should have a license there.
'No, we don't have to go that far. In any case, if we don't have enough numbers or can't match up with the rest of the gang, it won't matter. Just releasing the information would be enough.
"Hmm ...... Okay, if you say so, Satou-sama, I will.

 Cell nodded a small nod after thinking about it a bit.
 I handed over all the documents and information to Cell and delivered them.
 This completes the request for the new Nihonium attack.

I'd like to thank you again, Sato-sama. The reward will be paid to you immediately.
Yeah.

 I nodded and agreed.
 I don't really care about the reward for the Nifonium, since the attack is an afterthought, but since everyone else helped me, I'll get it right and we'll split the money later.

''So, ...... Satou-sama,''
Yeah, I know. You're talking about my dungeon.

 Cell cut in with a slightly different kind of, but still serious, expression.
 I knew immediately what he was going to say as he continued to maintain his facade as President of the Dungeon Association.

'Yes, by all means, come to the city.'

 The number of dungeons ≈ productive capacity is directly linked to the economic power of the city.
 As the president of the dungeon association, it is only natural that if there are new dungeons, he will want to secure them somehow.

I know, I don't know what's going to happen to it yet, but at least I promise not to take it there by choice.
Thank you!

 Cell bowed his head to me with an impressed look on his face.
