Late at night, the first basement floor of the Aurum Dungeon.

"Damn! An adventurer hunt!

"If you know what I mean, I'll let you out."

I'm sorry, but that's it.

The body of the man, who had threatened the adventurer with a face he had done before, stuck a gunshot in the man's back, strengthened his face.

"Lyota Sato!?

"If you know what I mean, it's quick."

"Stupid, too soon. Nothing yet."

"What do we do? If you leave Aurum like this and don't come again, I'll miss you."

Keep the muzzle further down, tone your voice down and threaten the man.

"Wow, okay. Miss me, I'm not coming anymore"

"Is that true?

"True!

"Okay."

Dropping the gun, the adventure-hunting man escaped like a shedding.

Finally he turned around, looked at me, tongued me, and disappeared from the dungeon.

Probably won't come any more.

Aurum, who I'm so used to, now knows the "signs of an adventurer hunt," and I can rush the moment I do it, like I did now, before I'm actually hunted.

Even late at night, like right now, when normal humans are asleep.

Aurum's pre-detection made it possible for me to stay asleep and rush at my leisure.

So when I crushed all my adventurer hunts to the spots, the number of cases dropped rapidly.

It will be completely gone soon.

I put a gun on it and talk to the adventurer.

"Are you all right?

"Ah, oh. Hmm..."

Adventurer, the young man sat down on the spot.

"What's up? Did they hit you?

"Ah? Oh, no, I'm just tired. My boss ordered me to hunt late at night for a while."

"Late night hunting?

"There are fewer adventurers in the middle of the night and there's no monster takeover."

"Oh, I see"

Convinced by the young adventurer.

There is a limit to the number of monsters in the dungeon - rather than the maximum number present at the same time.

A dungeon gives birth to a new monster when even one can do it, but never over the upper limit. There will never be more than the upper limit.

And when the number of adventurers exceeds that limit, naturally some adventurers won't be able to hunt monsters.

That makes it a deal, or the Dungeon Society forbids beatings so that they don't.

I guess one way to do that is to hunt late at night.

Naturally, adventurers are human, and most people fall asleep late at night.

It's only natural to have less competition if you put it in the dungeon in the middle of the night.

"Are you alone?

"Oh, the bosses are daytime and I'm in charge of the night. So is the boss, but everyone else is weak at night because they're old. I can't help it."

"You have no choice?

"If you don't have to do it, I won't."

The man shrugged his shoulders with his palm up. He also has a smile on his face.

When I looked closely, I saw the man who was being hit, and I associate him with a late-night part-time one-op, but I thought if he was convinced, I couldn't help it.

The next morning I came to Aurum's room using the transfer room.

Horns on the head, feathers on the back, wrapped around is the spirit of this dungeon called Goth Lori Clothing, Aurum.

The spirit, who remained young in the atmosphere, welcomed me with a smile.

"Lyota! Are you all right today? It's not in the dungeon."

"Right. Thank you so much, thanks to Aurum for your help"

"It's okay, I told you, didn't I? I'm not making a big deal of it."

"Still thanks.... Did you say you weren't in the dungeon looking like that right now?

"Yeah, you're not here. Now they're -- yeah, the faces we all know, the ones who normally fight only monsters."

"Right. I'd like to thank you and go play somewhere."

"Really! I want to go to Lyota's house. You moved into a new house."

"Well, you've never been here? All right, let's go."

"Yeah!"

I'll pull out the gun and put it back.

"What's going on?

"No, think this one's better."

I put my hands together instead.

I need the procedure of knocking Aurum out once and hatching him into a hagglery thing outside, so until now I've shot him out with a gun before I take him out.

It's a necessary procedure and I don't care about the person, but I'm pretty sure sticking a gun in her isn't the preferred picture.

So I decided to use magic, not guns.

"Repetition"

Speak magic, magic that instantly kills the opponent you defeated once.

Aurum became, as usual, a one-meter cube of gold - moments.

When I was about to, I had a tingle that I couldn't stand.

I know what this feels like, I got an MP.

Repetition changes consumption MP depending on the strength of the opponent, or something like rank.

The true lord of the dungeon, the Spirit Aurum.

The MP you need to kill her instantly is enough to be full on SS to zero in an instant.

They made me consume the most MP I've ever had.

"I'm convinced, though."

While crushing, hit the muzzle at the base of your elbow and fire an infinite healing bullet to restore MP.

This one wasn't a bad picture, it was a recovery, because it was a gun, but it didn't even look like I was injecting.

I let the MP open in full, then took on Aurum (1 cubic meter of gold) and went back to the Mansion at the transfer gate.

Salon of the Mansion, Aurum was relaxing there as the sunset plunged in.

He sat deeply on the couch and had a full face, not seen in the dungeon at all.

"It's a nice place here, it's so peaceful."

"No, thanks to Emily."

"Rest in peace - what shall we do, Lyota!

Aurum looks in trouble.

"What's up?"

"I don't want to leave this place."

Aurum complaining about it in a stuffed manner.

It's like a human face and dialogue captured in this one.

... Well, I get it.

The warmth of the house Emily keeps is like the magic that captivates people.

It is no longer a class.

Do you want to live here? There's plenty of room. "

"It's okay! - Yeah, you can't do that."

"You can't?

"Yeah, it's good enough for me to go out and play, but I'm going to sleep outside - if I stay out or something, I'm not going to drop a dungeon."

"Oh, don't bother with that..."

"Bring me back instead. I don't have a problem walking in the daytime."

"Cheap help, every day if what it is - hmm?

"What's going on?

Relaxing on the couch, Aurum stares at me with her neck clenched.

I rebuffed her dialogue.

I sleep outside - if I stay out or something, I don't have to drop a dungeon.

The dialogue repeated in my head.

"Hey, what's really going on? It doesn't have to be every day, does it? Sometimes. I'm the Spirit, so you guys have a sense of human time."

"Aurum!"

"Hey, what..."

Stuffed, Aurum felt pulled.

"Is that true now?

"Yes, of now?

"When you stay out, you stop dropping."

"Yeah... it means losing consciousness outside the dungeon to be exact..."

What's wrong with that? stare at me with that eye.

I thought about it.

I've thought a lot about it.

As an adventurer.

as president of the Association of Dungeons.

And as an ex-company livestock.

I thought about a lot of things from a lot of angles.

"Aurum, why don't you live here? I'll pick you up every morning."

"So when I fell asleep outside, I dropped..."

"We're good for the night." Emily's coming back, and everyone else - oh yeah, there's Bombon. "

"Bon bon?"

"He's one of Alice's guys, but I bet he cares about Aurum"

Because I was born in Aurum.

Aurum was persuaded to feel upset, and look at me upward.

"Are you sure?

"Oh."

"Thank you, Lyota"

And he smiled.

Thus the Spirit of the Aurum Dungeon, Aurum, began to dwell in our mansion.

The next day, the village of Indore.

I made a public announcement in the name of the president of the Indore Dungeon Association.

The announcement is that Aurum stops dropping in the middle of the night.

The adventurers stood in front of the public notice and said this.

"Don't make it inconvenient not to drop late at night."

"Then hey, we're all asleep at night, and you don't have to do that."

"No, some people do, don't they?

"You didn't write here more than that, but you got more drops? We've had more before, but it looks like we've got more again, doesn't it?

I took a far-sighted look at the adventurers who matched me well.

It feels painful to see. Some people divulge some of their dissatisfaction, but most of them have a stance that "well, nothing will change."

People are asleep in the middle of the night anyway.

This is what it is.

I thought something similar happened when I saw the news that the family might stop opening late at night.

"Hey, hey."

"Hmm?"

I was called from the side.

Turning around, a young adventurer stood there.

A young adventurer who helped late last night.

"It's you, that one"

"No, it's the whim of the Spirit. The Spirit wants to sleep at night."

"Well... then tell the Spirit"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you. Now I can sleep at night."

"Oh, I'll tell him."

"Thank you so much"

Young adventurer who looks me straight in the eye and says so.

The next time I saw him, I hope he was healing.
