One day, a little while after the return of the Liu clan .

." "...... bad.

　While looking at the balance column of the DP, I mumble a little.

　--I'm sure you'll find that the DP you've reserved in such large quantities is about to hit the bottom when you realize it.

　Although there is still a lot of DP left, and the amount will naturally increase tomorrow, it has dropped to one-twentieth of what it was at its highest point.

　This will probably hit the bottom in less than a month.

　...... overuse, or so it seems.

　I haven't been very active in expanding the dungeon area lately, but since I regularly let my pets hunt demons, I thought it would be fine and used DPs with no particular care. ...... It has failed completely.

　The reason for this is that the number of people living here has increased, and I haven't done anything about it, despite the loss of DP income from Lephi, which had been my biggest source of income.

　The numbers had completely disappeared from my mind, as I was no longer bothered by the lack of DP these days.

　I was doing things like setting new forest traps, almost without looking at DP consumption.

　That's a shame. ...... mood is that.

　As your income doubled, your life became more and more extravagant in proportion, so that when your income dropped, you couldn't stop living extravagantly and became poor, and so on.
　No, I don't know.

　--Something needs to be done about it.

　I haven't done this in a long time: ...... This should be a DP plan, not a fine money plan.

So, Mr. Leffi, I was wondering if you could help me out: ......

　I'm sitting upright in front of Reffi in my usual living space, the True Throne Room.

"No, it's so sudden that I have no idea why.

You see. We have a little problem, and I was wondering if you could help me solve it, High Dragon. Thus, I was wondering if you would listen to me.

When you speak in a creepy honorific, it's usually because you're trying to cover something up.

　You've been found out.

"No, no, no, no. You're not trying to cover it up. But if you don't listen to me, you may not be able to serve sweets for some time to come: ......

"What?

　The refugee who stands up with a bang and approaches me.

"Oh, hey, you're not loud enough, you idiot.

Nuh-uh. ......

　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

　I don't care if you sit down in your skirt, I can see your pants.

...... Would you like to explain to me what this is all about?

"To tell you the truth, my DP is in trouble. Maybe if you keep consuming at this rate, you'll hit the bottom in less than a month.

Speaking of dee-pee, that's what you use to make things appear, isn't it?

"Yeah. I didn't mind at all because I've been breaking even lately, but ...... here, you know how many more people are living here?　And yet, when I was using the DP as much as I used to, and not caring about it at all, that's what happened to me: ......

M...... is right. Now that I've become your mate, you won't have any more of my nice-to-have income.

Ah ...... Well, that's certainly a factor in the reason, but that's okay, it's not like I had any other choice. It's not like I had any other choice. It's just that I was stupid enough not to take it into account and think ahead.

　There's no way I would have made such a ridiculous choice of not taking Leffy as my wife because I didn't want to lose my DP income.

　I mean, I thought I could do it even if I lost my DP income from Lefi at that time.
　Our dungeon realm had expanded, we had more pets, and our system was getting better.

　I guess you could say I was wrong.

"So I had to do something, but I didn't want those ...... other guys to be too worried. I'd like to be able to secure the DPs as if nothing had happened and no one would ever know.

　In terms of sustainable measures, even if we further expand the dungeon area to increase the natural recovery of DP and actively hunt monsters with our pets in the future, for now, we want a temporary measure.

　To do so, I need to ask for Lephi's help.

I see. And you came to me.

Oh. You're the only person I can talk to about this kind of stuff, and I'm the only one I can count on to be with me forever.

Ho-ho. So I am the only one. Ho......

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

　It's really a cute little thing.

　It is a good thing that she is a reliable wife.

It's a good thing that you've got a cohort ....... I see your point. I'll work with you as your dependable companion. And what exactly is going on?
