Outside of Phosphorus, a hiding spot slightly further from the entrance .

While we were there, we could see various adventurers coming out with faces full of dissatisfaction .

[There’s suddenly no drops, what the h.e.l.l happened??]

[I’ll definitely come back tomorrow . ]

[For now let’s just use our cash for a drink . ]

Phosphorus which doesn’t drop any cash has made more and more adventurers leaving early .

And obviously the reason why Phosphorus doesn’t drop anything—-

[Seems to be a huge success . ] (Ryouta)

[Yeap . Since Mermera is with us . It’s the same with Aurum-chan~] (Alice)

Alice said with a happy face as she has her new friend Mermera——or the spirit Phosphorus on her shoulder .

[The same? So if mermera returns the drop returns as well?] (Alice)

[I wonder… . ] (Ryouta)

[… . ]

[Mermera says it would . ] (Alice)

Without any words, Mermera’s flames suddenly flame up for a moment .

[Eh? Aah, that’s not it . But it’s better for Mermera to not return—-is that alright Ryouta?] (Alice)

[Let’s see, I think it’s for the best . ] (Ryouta)

[Then that’s it . Ah let’s go to other dungeons together♪] (Alice)

After she said that, all of her friends were motivated .

With their deformed look, they jumped for joy with their hands up, which was comical .

[Right! Hey Mermera come’re, and also Boney-chan . ] (Alice)

Suddenly remembering something, she opened her palm to indicate them going there .

Boney-chan naturally slid down to her palms, but Mermera who isn’t used to it was slightly confused, but he manages to head there as well .

Boney-chan was standing straight, whereas Mermera was floating on her palm .

Bone with flame, it really looked like a skull with a spirit infused .

[They look great together . ] (Ryouta)

[I know right! They’re both so cute together!] (Alice)

[I won’t say that they’re cute, but well they suit well with each other . They’re like bestest of partners?] (Ryouta)

[I think so as well . ] (Alice)

Alice has a face full of smile .

Being complimented, Boney-chan’s face showed a smiling shape as she rattled .

With Mermera being in the new team, Alice became excited .

Seems to me like she’s having fun .

[Alice, you should head to Cell to report . ] (Ryouta)

[Eh, me?] (Alice)

[Since you’re the one who has Mermera now, it’s better to show Cell about it . ] (Ryouta)

[You’re right! Alright, lead the way!] (Alice)

Alice nodded and had Gau-gau return to its dragon size, and have everyone ride on top of it .

[I’m impressed . ] (Rebecca)

Suddenly a voice was heard from behind .

Rebecca・Neon .

She who did not trust Alice to do the job, suddenly joined us and spoke .

[On what?] (Ryouta)

[I’ve heard of the story, to have Phosphorus not live in the dungeon to solve the problem?] (Rebecca)

[Yeah . ] (Ryouta)

[Which means all the achievements goes to her . ] (Rebecca)

[I mean obviously that’s the case… . ] (Ryouta)

Looking back, I could see Alice getting smaller and smaller in distance .

[The one doing all the work was Alice, I didn’t do much at all . So obviously she would get all the credit . ] (Ryouta)

[Are you sure about that?] (Rebecca)

[Yeah, of course . ] (Ryouta)

I immediately answered .

Rebecca stared at my resolution .

[… . . Hmm . ] (Rebecca)

Breathing out from her nose, she turned and walked away .

Oh right, she didn’t tell me the reason why she came to meet with me… . Is that alright?

Shikuro Dungeon a.s.sociation, the chairman’s office .

It was rare of Alice to be in Ryouta’s shoe, where she went to meet with Cell .

[As expected of Satou-sama’s teammates, to be able to obtain a spirit as an ally . ] (Cell)

[Mermera’s not an ally, but a friend! Right~?] (Alice)

Mermera’s flame warmed up .

[I’m impressed . ] (Cell)

[With that, I’m the same rank as that person . ] (Alice)

[You’re talking about Rebecca?] (Cell)

[You knew?] (Alice)

[Somewhat . ] (Cell)

[I see… . then what do you think?] (Alice)

Alice asked as she was expecting Cell’s answer .

As Ryouta’s friend and teammate, she wanted to be useful as his family .

For that, she wanted to proof that she can be a spirit holder as well .

[Hmm, you’re not at the same rank as her . ] (Cell)

[Eh? So it’s a no? Is Rebeccsan really an amazing person?] (Alice)

[No, it’s the opposite . ] (cell)

[Fue?] (Alice)

She was confused .

[You’re actually even better than her, so you’re not of the same rank as her . ] (Cell)

[……Eeeeh!? For real?] (Alice)

[Yes, to be able to conquer a dungeon by yourself and solve the problem, that is a huge feat… . Fuh . ] (Cell)

Cell rubbed his chin .

Ryouta Satou, a being that can be worship would be able to influence the people around him .

To have a sense of inferiority because of Rebecca, she wanted to do something about it, and the recent event was something she could do .

[You’re much better than Rebecca, I shall guarantee that for you . ] (Cell)

[Yes!] (Alice)

Rejoiced, Alice and her fellow monsters looked at her happily .

[If there’s anything that I need for help, I, Cell Stem, shall ask you by all means . ] (Cell)

Cell said, not as the position of the chairman, but from the bottom of his heart .

In that sense, Cell sincerely welcomed Alice as a spirit holder .

Perhaps even more so than the person herself .
