knew it as well, hence why she was showing such expression . It’ll be unpleasant if these are just false rumours, but because it was genuinely what I accomplished, so the praise made me felt good .
Basically hearing Elza’s words gave me twice the happiness .
[Alright, shall we have a drink tonight?] (Ryouta)
[Okay!] (Elza)
On the way home from the familiar tavern, Villa De Edge .
Elza, Aurum and I were walking .
Everyone else was caught up with things to do . So the only ones who were drinking with me were Elza and Aurum who I picked up on time .
[It was delicious, so delicious, so extremely delicious!] (Aurum)
I mean I know the beers in Villa De Edge was nice, but Aurum was still excited about it even after we left the shop .
She was like a child running around me and Elza .
[I didn’t know sake would be this delicious . ] (Aurum)
[Do you like alcohol?] (Ryouta)
[Yes! It’s fluffy and it feels good!] (Aurum)
[I see . Shall we try out more alcohols?] (Ryouta)
[There’s other alcohols?] (Aurum)
[Of course, there’s wine, champagne, whiskeys, and many more . ] (Ryouta)
[Ooooooo……… . ] (Aurum)
Aurum’s eyes lit up as she was in awe .
Since she has just recently left the dungeon, her reaction was like an innocent child hearing about something for the first time .
When I looked at her, it made me want to let her experience more things .
[I didn’t know there’s so many of them
them . ] (Aurum)
[Yeah, that’s right . Oh that reminds me, I think there’s a pub here that has liquor containing gold dust inside?] (Ryouta)
[Gold? Can you drink gold with alcohol?] (Aurum)
[Yeah . Well, it’s not just that, there are other things that can be mixed with alcohol . I heard that it’s good for nourishing tons of——Oh sorry it’s just a story from where I was . ] (Ryouta)
[Heeh . Un, then let’s help Emily to make dishes with gold inside starting from tomorrow!] (Aurum)
[Huh? Ah right, since you can just make gold normally . ] (Ryouta)
[Yeah! An all you can eat buffet!] (Aurum)
[No wait . ] (Ryouta)
The way she said was interesting in itself .
Gold—–An all you can eat buffet of gold, that wording was kinda funny .
Well, from the Gold Spirit Aurum’s perspective, Gold is inexhaustible for her .
All you can eat gold .
It might be interesting, who knows .
[Eh?] (Elza)
[What’s wrong Elza, for you to suddenly stop . ] (Ryouta)
[Over there… . . Seems like they are building a house . ] (Elza)
I stopped and followed Elza’s line of sight .
Because it’s night time, I can’t see much, but it was still visible .
They seemed to be doing quite a lot of construction .
[You’re right, it’s a tremendous scale of construction . ] (Ryouta)
[It looks like a mansion . Not your average commercial facility either . ] (Elza)
[A mansion…… . . At this kind of timing to make a mansion, could it be Cell?] (Ryouta)
[Let’s go and ask . ] (Elza)
Elza said as she walked to that direction .
Who are we asking again? I thought but there was a man who was probably working night shift as a guard there as she ran towards him .
Elza talked to the man for a moment before coming back .
[It looks to be Cell・Stem-san’s house . ] (Elza)
[I knew it . ] (Ryouta)
[It seems like they are going for a castle-like look rather than a mansion . ] (Elza)
[Heh……With that amount of
amount of money, I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with a castle or two . ](Ryouta)
It’s not as though Kings are the only ones owning a castle, I heard that it is common that n.o.bles in Europe to have castles too .
The famous Dracula was originally a n.o.ble and was said that he also had a castle(I saw in the news that his descendants were selling it} .
Then again, a castle huh .
……………… .
[What’s wrong Ryoutsan?] (Elza)
[Ah no, when you mention the castle, it reminded me of the word . ] (Ryouta)[A Bronze Statue? It certainly seems to be a castle, but what about that?] (Elza)
[No, just thinking too much . ] (Ryouta)
I said that as I tried shaking the thought out of my head .
No matter how much, I’m sure it’s not possible… . right?
[Wait a minute . ] (Elza)
Elza then ran to the man again and came back after asking about various things .
This time with a tremendously odd expression——Are you kidding me .
[Umm……Ryoutsan . . ] (Elza)
[Don’t tell me . ] (Ryouta)
[Yes… . . it seems like they’re making it, a Bronze Statue of Ryoutsan . ] (Elza)
[So he really did make one huh!] (Ryouta)
[Moreover, I heard that the Bronze Statue is changeable . I was told that it would be a Bronze Statue that can be turned into various poses by supplying magic . ] (Elza)
[Seriously what a waste of technology to create such a thing!] (Ryouta)
Again, I was getting slight gooseb.u.mps from what this Cell Stalker is doing .
I have to have a word with him tomorrow to make him stop building this Bronze Statue .
[B, but, it seems like it’s going to be a splendid residence . ] (Elza)
Elza said as she tried to divert the topic .
[Hm? Aah yeah I guess so . A man with power and money would make such things . ] (Ryouta)
[Is that so?] Aurum tilted her little head as she answered .
[It is how it is . For. For example… . . there was someone who created a castle out of gold . Hm? Wait it wasn’t a castle but a temple . ] (Ryouta)
I was trying hard to remember the origins of the Osaka Castle as I was digging through my memories .
[If it’s gold then it’s amazing?] (Aurum)
[Well, it is quite intimidating, and when you look at it, you might think [Wow, this is amazing!] or something . Uhhm, I guess it’s… . kinda cool?] (Ryouta)
[oh, I see . ] (Aurum)
[What’s with the “Oh I see”—-Oi!] (Ryouta)
Yelling to stop her, Aurum ran like the wind .
[What’s wrong?]
[…… . Don’t tell me . ] (Ryouta)
Remembering what Aurum said before, the memory came flashing through my eyes as I frantically began running towards her .
Really please——stop it .
While thinking to stop her, I ran as fast as I could to chase after Aurum .
As soon as I returned home, I saw it .
Shiny gold—–the shape remained as is, but the mansion was completely golden .
Aurum stood before me and turned around and looked at me, then turning her hand on her waist and showed a victory pose .
[How is it Ryouta . Is this amazing?] (Aurum)
The spirit of Aurum Dungeon, The Golden Aurum .
Her powers have completely changed the house to gold .
[T, this is amazing but, can you please stop this . ] (Ryouta)
[Eeeeh, why?] (Aurum)
[Because I wouldn’t be able to calm down, no matter how long it takes . ] (Ryouta)
[But it’s amazing right? Isn’t it cool?] (Aurum)
[No no no no……] (Ryouta)
Cold sweat was running down my spine as I desperately pleaded Aurum and finally managed to revert the Golden mansion .
[Then, instead of a Bronze Statue of Ryouta, why not a gold statue—–] (Aurum)
[No no that is even worse please stop that at once!] (Ryouta)
Aurum has said something even more ridiculous after what Cell has done .
Even though gold symbolizes wealth, I could feel that it’ll likely linger as a trauma for me .
Proofread Shiro At night, one of the rooms inside the mansion that was converted into The Swallow s Repayment . I was nervously looking at Elza . She was currently holding onto an accounts book while counting the figures . It was for today s earnings . It has been sometime since I was nervous about knowing the total amount . While secretly praying and waiting, Elza looked up and smiled at me . Congratulations Ryouta san . Elza Ooh Which meant Ryouta Yes You have reached over a million Piros for today s earnings . Elza Alright Ryouta I was so happy that I did a guts pose . For a day well to be honest, it was half a day when I earned that amount, but that wasn t the reason why I was happy . Today, I was hunting at Teruru Dungeon s 15th floor and have finally earned over a million Piros from that floor alone . The Killer of the strongest floor, I let my body memorize the movements of the monsters, which resulted in me optimizing my every movement like in Shogi . The first time I did that, I earned around 770, 000 Piros, which was a significant increase than the previous run . Earning a million Piros isn t really a feat, but against the Killer of the Strongest , it really was a huge achievement for me . You re amazing Ryouta san, I m pretty sure you re the world s first . Elza World s first Ryouta Yes, the world s first to earn that much on Teruru s 15th floor in a day . Having low drop rates in a dungeon is bad, but most adventurers with a high drop rate would 99 be strong in terms of abilities . Elza I see Ryouta Well, I knew Ryouta san could do it . Elza As Elza said that, my self esteem went up . What s more, doing it in half a day is even more amazing . Elza Well, the half a day is a rule that I set for myself . Due to the long standings as a corporate slave on earth, I try not to enter the Dungeon during evenings unless there is nothing much to do . Which meant that I only enter the Dungeon during daytime, and the first half of the morning is used for collecting seeds in NIhonium, so my working hours essentially starts from 12 o clock to 5 o clock based on earth s time . Instead of half a day, I guess it s like a quarter of a day . Elza who was dispatched from the shop The Swallow s Repayment knew it as well, hence why she was showing such expression . It ll be unpleasant if these are just false rumours, but because it was genuinely what I accomplished, so the praise made me felt good . Basically hearing Elza s words gave me twice the happiness .
