, as she was on her way to our mansion from the shop, she was still wearing her outfit . [What’s the matter, you need me for something?] (Ryouta)
[Etto… . I do have a request for you . That is, the headquarters has one . ] (Elza)
[A request from the headquarters?] (Ryouta)
[The a.s.sociation of Arene wanted to meet with Ryoutsan by all means necessary . ] (Elza)
Emily and I looked at each other at the same time .
From Carbon, to Aldehyde, and now Arene .
This is the third time .
Elza then showed a complicated expression .
It looks happy—-or is it proud, but then it was mixed with a troubled look at well .
[This is just an if, but everyone might want to invite Ryoutsan . They might want to invite Ryoutsan to move to their cities even if it’s next year or the year after . ] (Elza)
[Stay at their city? What for?] (Ryouta)
[There was an announcement made yesterday, the Annual c.u.mulative purchase . ] (Elza)
[Stay at their city? What for?] (Ryouta)
[There was an announcement made yesterday, the Annual c.u.mulative purchase . ] (Elza)
[c.u.mulative purchases… . . Meaning how much someone trades to the trading shop per year?] (Ryouta)
Elza silently nodded .
[I didn’t know there was something like that… . so it’s something like a Ranking of Millionaires of sorts?] (Ryouta) (TLN Note: It’s something like the richest man alive kinda thing . Also refers to the list of high-level taxpayers)
[In that ranking, Ryoutsan is currently ranked at third in the world . ] (Elza)
[Is that true?] (Ryouta)
[Wow! That’s so amazing, Yodsan is really really awesome nanodesu . ](Emily)
[So that’s why they wanted to invite me? Aah now I get it, which also means that they would earn even more money . ] (Ryouta)
[That’s also true as well, but it’s not just that . As Shikuro being an agricultural city, usually we aren’t ranked inside . As our prices are cheap . ] (Elza)
[I see . ] (Ryouta)
[For an agricultural city to rank top 10 in the world, in these past 10 years, only Ryoutsan was able to do it . Hence why everyone wanted to invite you to their city . Ryoutsan, if you were to be in a mining city, it would result in even greater achievement, same goes for Animals too . Going to those cities would net you much more income, was what everyone thought . Even our own store Arene thought of it, so that’s why . ] (Elza)
I see, so that’s how it is .
[What’s more… . ] (Elza)
[There’s more to it?] (Ryouta)
[Ryoutsan didn’t work for a full year yet right?] (Elza)
[Now that you mention, that’s true . ] (Ryouta)
After being transported to this world, it hasn’t been a year yet since I’ve started .
[So I’m sure you know what that means right, so what happens if you worked for a full year? Was what everyone thought as well . If it’s that then by next year you’ll definitely reach first in the rankings . To be the top one in being the richest, is what you’ll be recognized as . ] (Elza)
[That’s ama~~~~zing desu! Yodsan never ceases to amaze me nanodesu!](Emily)
Emily was extremely excited for me, and Elza was silently looking at me with br.i.m.m.i.n.g eyes .
Even though what I did was just my usual routine, I didn’t think it would turn out to be such an incredible feat… . .
In the morning, after sending Aurum off to the dungeon using the Teleportation Room, I returned back into the mansion
Seeing me return, Emily who was looking for me walked towards me with the sound of her house slippers pitter pattering on the ground
.
[Aah, welcome back Yodsan . ] (Emily).
[What’s the matter Emily . You wanted to find me?] (Ryouta).
[Yes desu . There was a person looking for you just a moment ago desu . ](Emily).
[A guest?] (Ryouta).
[It’s the Dungeon a.s.sociation people from Carbon nanodesu . ] (Emily).
[Carbon… I’ve never heard of it before, but if it’s the dungeon a.s.sociation people, it means I would have to go to their city right . ] (Ryouta).
[Yes nanodesu . ] (Emily).
[Did you ask them why they’re looking for me?] (Ryouta).
[They said that they’ll come back again desu . They said that they wanted to meet with Yodsan by all means possible . Also they’ve brought all sorts of sweets for us nodesu . ] (Emily).
[I see? I guess something happened that they need my help . ] (Ryouta).
[Seems like it nanodesu . ] (Emily).
.
Emily smiled
Out of all my friends—-No out of everyone that knows me the longest in this world, would immediately know what I’m thinking the moment they see me
.
Especially nowadays, it happens quite frequently . After rumours about me spread like wildfire, whenever someone is in need, they would surely come to find me
.
[Well, it’s what I expected from Yodsan nanodesu . ] (Emily).
[I think that Emily’s the one that I think that’s amazing . ] (Ryouta).
[It’s still a long way before I can be compared with Yodsan nanodesu . ](Emily).
.
I wanted to comeback with a [that’s not true], but I decided to keep it to myself
Knowing the personality of Emily to be modest, of course she won’t think of her that way
.
This warm, bright, and s.p.a.cious mansion that can win over my own parents house
Having Emily maintain such a lovely mansion is what amazes me even more
.
If we continue this conversation, it’s not just the maintenance of the house that she’s good at, it’s the same when we were inside the dungeon
.
With how Emily was even able to make the inside of the dungeon so comfortable, one can say that even a Slime can be put to sleep if they were inside that s.p.a.ce…
Emily only thinks I’m amazing because of how strong I am… Well the person herself is always modest, so I won’t say anymore
.
[Ah . ] (Ryouta).
[What’s the matter desu?] (Emily).
[I forgot to take the Speed-Up Bullet . I’mma go get it now . ] (Ryouta).
[Yes desu, have a safe trip nanodesu . ] (Emily).
.
☆.
.
[Yodsan, Yodsan . ] (Emily).
.
After going to the Clayman village and take the once per day Speed-Up Bullet, I returned to the mansion, and once again Emily was calling for me
.
[What is it Emily . ] (Ryouta).
[The guests have arrived to meet you Yodsan desu . ] (Emily).
[The people from Carbon?] (Ryouta).
[That’s not it, this time it’s the people from Aldehyde desu . This time the Dungeon a.s.sociation Chief came to meet with you desu . ] (Emily).
[What?] (Ryouta).
.
I was sort of surprised
A different city’s dungeon a.s.sociation, now the Dungeon a.s.sociation Chief came to meet with me
.
[Are they still present?] (Ryouta).
[Nope, they said that they’ll come by again desu . But, but Yodsan… . this is troubling nanodesu . I’ve received some sweets nodesu . ] (Emily).
[That’s true, but that’s not the point nodesu… . ] (Emily).
.
Emily furrowed her eyebrows as she made a troubling look
While making a face like that, she took out a box of sweets
.
[This is it nanodesu . ] (Emily).
[Isn’t it just your usual sna——it’s heavy!] (Ryouta).
.
The moment she let go of the box, the weight surprised me
It wasn’t just the snacks, but something much heavy, like they placed some rocks inside the box
.
Then, scanning what’s inside the box, I noticed that there was a second layer at the bottom of the box . And as I opened it—–.
.
[These are golden sweets! As promise ! ! !].
.
I made a huge comeback
Below the double layered box was covered in gold
I’m not sure whether it’s just a souvenir or a bribe… .
.
[This… is not something troublesome for me right . ] (Ryouta).
[I thinks it’s different desu… . ] (Emily).
.
Emily and I both thought of the same thing
I thought when the Carbon people came to look for me, I a.s.sume that they wanted to ask me to help out with something, but this box that was given by Aldehyde clearly doesn’t seem like they’re seeking for help
.
It does look like they want some request, but it’s not something troubling
.
[What could it possibly be . ] (Ryouta).
[I wonder too desu… . ] (Emily).
.
Emily and I both tilted our head at the same time
.
[Aah, Ryoutsan . ].
.
From within the corridor, Elza who was wearing her working clothes called out to me
The employee of the trade shop , as she was on her way to our mansion from the shop, she was still wearing her outfit .
[What’s the matter, you need me for something?] (Ryouta).
[Etto… . I do have a request for you . That is, the headquarters has one . ] (Elza).
[A request from the headquarters?] (Ryouta).
[The a.s.sociation of Arene wanted to meet with Ryoutsan by all means necessary . ] (Elza).
.
Emily and I looked at each other at the same time
.
From Carbon, to Aldehyde, and now Arene
This is the third time
.
Elza then showed a complicated expression
It looks happy—-or is it proud, but then it was mixed with a troubled look at well
.
[This is just an if, but everyone might want to invite Ryoutsan . They might want to invite Ryoutsan to move to their cities even if it’s next year or the year after . ] (Elza).
[Stay at their city? What for?] (Ryouta).
[There was an announcement made yesterday, the Annual c.u.mulative purchase . ] (Elza).
[c.u.mulative purchases… Meaning how much someone trades to the trading shop per year?] (Ryouta).
.
Elza silently nodded
.
[I didn’t know there was something like that… . so it’s something like a Ranking of Millionaires of sorts?] (Ryouta) (TLN Note: It’s something like the richest man alive kinda thing . Also refers to the list of high-level taxpayers).
[In that ranking, Ryoutsan is currently ranked at third in the world . ] (Elza).
[Is that true?] (Ryouta).
[Wow! That’s so amazing, Yodsan is really really awesome nanodesu . ](Emily).

.
I see, so that’s how it is
.
[What’s more… . ] (Elza).
[There’s more to it?] (Ryouta).
[Ryoutsan didn’t work for a full year yet right?] (Elza).
[Now that you mention, that’s true . ] (Ryouta).
.
After being transported to this world, it hasn’t been a year yet since I’ve started
