Amy, you can come out now.

　I opened my dimension bag and called out to her, and Amy came out of the bag. After that, Eee-chan and Shi-chan come out of the bag in turn. I put Amy in the dimension bag and carried her to her destination and returned the same way so that she wouldn't be able to remember the route. This way, Amy would not be able to come to the 20th level by herself.
　However, although we came to our destination, the entrance that was blocked when we arrived in the goblin's den had been broken, so the plan was thrown off a bit by the fact that the rest of the team, minus Aimee, had to check inside. However, thanks to that, we were safe enough. There were no demons, but we found a few poisonous insects that were hard to find even in the 'search', so we got rid of all of them and made sure that the space was free of insects and called Aimee. However, although it wasn't a demon or an insect, only one unexpected creature was found in the den. However, it's basically safe as long as we don't touch it, so we're leaving it alone for now.

''Is this the place? It's very hard to believe it was a goblin's nest.
Not really. The smell of goblins is still present in places. It's best not to go behind that hole in the ground, especially since it's probably the goblins' toilet. It's probably the goblins' toilet.

　The answer to Amy's question was the creature that was hiding in this place, and its name was Amur. When I heard that Amur had escaped, I used 'Search' to search all over Seigen, but I didn't get any response, so I thought he must be hiding in a dungeon, but I didn't expect him to be in this place.
　When I asked how Amur knew about this place, he found out that the nest was on the 20th level in his master's workshop, so he followed my scent (or the scent of Shiroumaru and Frau) and found a place that was suddenly cut off. Well, it would be a lie to say that they searched for it by following the scent of a stone. Probably, he looked for a dead end that was unnatural from Amur's point of view.
　Aside from that, as Amur pointed out, there was indeed a faint smell of goblin feces and urine wafting from one of the holes, even though it was a long way away, so I decided to finish disinfecting... or in this case, burning poisoning, before becoming a family member. In the meantime, I used 'Search' towards the hole where the smell of feces and urine was present, and after confirming that there was no reaction of people or objects inside, I used 'Firestorm' to burn it to the back of the room. The thing you have to be most careful about at this time is monoxide poisoning, but I asked everyone to evacuate to the furthest place away from the hole, and I also used the water magic method to create a fog around the hole, so I think it's safe. Furthermore, thanks to the fog, even if the dregs of feces came out of the hole in the air, they would not be blocked by the fog and would not spread outside. Finally, the hole that had been used as a vent was filled in with soil from the foggy area, and that was it.
　It may take some time to fill in the hole, but now the spider can become one of the household members without a care in the world.

Okay, come on.

　I opened the dimension bag I was using as a web for the spiders and called out to them, and two of the spiders that had been pining for me came up to me. And when I tried to connect the paths, the spiders accepted, so I was able to safely make them my subordinate. The head of the guild was quite eager to see it, but this is what it looks like when you actually do it. As the person doing the work, I felt it was just too easy, but Aguri was moved to tears. I wanted to interrupt him, but I didn't want to do so, because Aguri might get involved in the strange tension, so everyone pretended not to see it.

''Sensei, aren't you going to turn the remaining one into your subordinate?

　Amy said, and came over (...) holding the silver spider that was left in her bag. The spider is as wary of me as ever, but it doesn't seem to think anything of Amy, who is holding it. The two girls following behind Amy, I-Chan and Shi-Chan, seem to be curious about the spider, and they occasionally come close to each other and do things like greetings. So.

'Amy, do you want to take the spider into your family? Fortunately, that spider doesn't seem to be on the lookout for Amy, and it doesn't seem to be a bad match for Eee-chan and Shi-chan.

"Huh?

　My sudden suggestion was met with a combination of dumb voices. One was Amy, the person who was told, but the other was Aguri, who was in a state of tension. Probably, they were thinking that they were, in a hurry.

It's not a funny thing. I'm not going to miss it, so the only options are to release it into the dungeon or dismantle it as a material. If that's the case, it would be better for Amy to make it a household member.

　Aimee listens to my words and thinks for a moment. Aguri seems to want Amy to say no on the inside, and she's been posing as if she's praying to something since a while ago.

''I understand. I'll take care of this girl!

　So I decided to turn the spider into my family before Amy could change her mind. And just as I thought, Aimee effortlessly turned the spider into her family.

The name of the spider is Hakuchan!

　It's a very easy name, but for some reason the members of the Tamers Guild, except for Aguri, were clapping while cheering. If you look closely, you can see that Aguri was also applauding, albeit in a complicated way.
　And when the applause faded for a moment, everyone looked at me in unison. I guess it's my turn to make an announcement. But I hadn't thought about my name for a minute. So.

Okay, Gold and Silver. You'll live longer.

I don't know what this means, but...

　Everyone nodded in unison at Grandpa's words. Sure, it might be a story that only I can understand, but based on the color, I think it's a perfect name for the two animals... but Slarin is disagreeing with me, slowly rocking his body to the side in front of me. Apparently, even as a Slarin, Gold and Silver are no good. Incidentally, the spiders who are about to be named this don't seem to understand, and they were greeting Shiroumaru and Solomon from earlier.

''Well, then, how about Gol and Jill?''

　At any rate, I took the name from gold and silver, which I associate with gold and silver. I said it half-heartedly, but this time the name was safe for me as a slurin, and I was bouncing my body vertically. So the spiders' names were decided to be "Gol" (gold) and "Jill" (silver).
　Grandpa and the others seemed to have something to say about the upcoming name as well, but since Slarin, who was also the one who was responsible for organizing the subordinates, gave the OK, all other opinions were ignored.
　Since I became a member of the family, I once again looked into what kind of abilities Gol and Jill have, but by all appearances, they are unsuitable for battle.

Name...Gol.
Age...8
Species... the Golden Silk Spider.
Title: Temma's Household

HP... 1000.
MP...800.

Strength...D-
Defensive Power...C+
Speed...B
Magic...
Mental capacity...C
Growth Potential...D
Luck...C

Skills....Thread 8, Poison 5, Concealment 4, Magic Manipulation 3

　Jill also had the same status as Gol, and apparently this was close to the limit of the two animals. However, there is a possibility that my skills will grow depending on my future training, so I want to slowly develop them. Even so, it's unlikely to be a great battlefield strength, but we have enough strength to begin with, so there's no problem.

''It seems that Yi-chan and Shi-chan are welcoming Ku-chan as well!　

　Aimee was happy to see that her senior in the Military, I-Chan and Shie-chan, had accepted the new member of the family, Ku-chan, and the tension was high. The members of the Tamers Guild looked at Amie and Toku-chan with great interest.

''Aguri, hey!''

　I called out to Aguri, who was looking at me most intently, and he approached me in response to my call, although he looked a little uncomfortable.

'What, Temma. I would like to observe Haku-chan.

'Keep that to a level that Amy won't mind. I won't say any more about it, so... well, I've made her a member of Amy's household by accident, but with a demon that rare, there will be people who will try to turn it into something by force, right?

'Well, I suppose that's true. What Temma is trying to say is that we should look out for Amy too, right? Then I'm going to be careful enough, but you can't be paying attention all the time.　

　Aguri immediately understood what I wanted to say and decided to do it as long as they could. This time it was something I suggested without thinking, so I felt bad for Aimee, but now I also felt that it would have been better to give it to Aguri.

'I'll give her a few of them, some golems for escorting... if there are five or so of them there, they'll last until help arrives...'

　I can't give you a high performance golem of royal specifications, so I thought I'd give you one of the guys I usually use that's as good as possible.

In that case, you should ask Alex to back you up. Normally there would be criticism, but since Seigen is under the direct control of the royal family, it makes sense to ask the lord Alex to do it. Moreover, if you write him a letter asking him to help a girl who is attached to a legendary demon that is only mentioned in a few books, he will definitely be interested in Alex. If you write that you want to discuss it first, someone close to Alex will come to you.

　So I decided to write a letter to him anyway. If it works, it will be a pretty powerful deterrent. However, there should be a price to pay for it, so they're going to start with a consultation. From there, they plan to gradually extract favorable conditions for us.

The only difference is that it's either that idiot (Ernest) or the third son who comes, so it should be easy to negotiate. And don't forget to put Tenma's full name and family crest on the letter. There's a big difference in the importance of the content of the letter if you don't have the name and family crest.　

　As I listen to my grandfather, I write a letter. I'm only writing it as a consultation, so I don't deliberately go into detail.

''Is it something like this? Ted, I'm sorry, but I need you to get this letter to King's Landing as soon as possible. If you take it to your grandfather's mansion or the knight's office, it should reach the royal family. Just to be sure, the other letter has an explanation of what this letter was written for, so let me read it if you need anything. At worst, if you hang around your grandfather's mansion, I'm sure one of the kinsmen will come to you, please.

You're not gonna get caught by the Kingsguard, are you?　

Then you'll have to give me Aina's name. Aina will make sure Ted is someone I know and can prove it. The fee for your request is three gold coins, and I'll go ahead and give you one more in case anything happens. Use it for food and lodging.　

All right. More importantly, you want almost double the market price?

　Ted replied that he didn't mind Ted's question, and with a happy look on his face, Ted left the goblin den. He said that he was due back in four days, and if there was any trouble, it wouldn't be more than a week.
　Until then, I told him to keep Amy Nii-chan a secret and decided to adjust the five golems and make them exclusive to Amy.
　At first, Aimee was puzzled by the gift of the golem, but when I taught her the details of Ku-chan's rarity, she received the golem in spite of her confusion. Well, the core of the golem was an old one that was reused (in my sense of the word), so it wasn't that expensive. Aimee was satisfied with that explanation, but it bothered me that Grandpa and Aguri and the others were looking at me as if I was a stupid kid. But since the golem was all of my own making, I decided that its value was for me to decide for myself, and I ignored all the stares.

'I don't have anything else to do here, so let's go back, shall we?

　When I told everyone that, all of them nodded, except the Sakarat brothers. The two of them wanted to do mineral mining here, even though it was a scary place to be. The reason they originally set foot here was to mine, so it was understandable, but it was time for their magic and dimension bags to fill up.
　I'm not going to be able to carry more than the two of us can carry, so I'm going to leave the two of us alone and go back with everyone else, but the two of them hurriedly broke off mining and came after us. They didn't want to stay here alone, after all.
　After leaving the dungeon and asking Aguri and the others to take care of Amy, me, Grandpa and Amour hurried to the master's workshop. Since I had left Tanikaze in the hands of my master, I was suddenly worried the moment we got out of the dungeon that he might have made some strange modifications while I was gone, so I ran as fast as I could, forgetting about the two of them.
　As expected, I didn't use flying in the city (not a violation, but not a very commendable act), but it still seemed that I was going as fast as a horse could run. All of the people who passed me looked at me in amazement, but they soon disappeared far behind.

　I was running as fast as I could from the dungeon and arrived at my master's workshop about ten minutes later, but I was running so fast that I couldn't breathe properly. When I entered the workshop, he was asleep with a smile on his face, holding a cask of sake in his arms, as if he had done everything he could.
　With a bad feeling, I looked at the almost-assembled Tanikazee, and although I couldn't see anything unusual in its appearance, there were remnants lying around it as if it had been used for some kind of crafting.

''I'm hit ... where was it played with?''

　I can't find anything unusual on the outside, but since it's Master, it's very possible that he's made modifications in places you can't see on the outside. So I decided to wake him up by kicking the barrel that he was holding.
　By the way, all of the master's disciples were wrapped up in a fish tank, gagged and rolled into a warehouse. When they were released, the disciples were looking at the master with angry and resentful eyes, and it was hard to stop them from trying to beat him up at any moment.

'What! Enemy attack!

　While shouting that, the master gropes for the missing barrel. He seems to be sleep-deprived.
　My students and I looked down at him. But he didn't notice us, and somehow he crawled at high speed to his desk and moved his chair out of the way. We decided to stay away from him and quietly check on him, as we thought something interesting was about to happen.
　He moved his chair out of the way and began to play with the floor underneath it without looking aside. Then there was a rattling sound and a part of the floor came off.　
　The master stuck his upper body into the dislodged part and started counting something inside. He seemed to be concentrating on counting, so we decided it was the right time, so we sneaked up behind him and called out to him, "What are you hiding?

'What are you hiding?'
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

　While screaming and yelling that surprised us, the master was trying to get out from under the floor in a hurry, hitting his head on the edge of the floor as hard as he could.
　The master was in agony for a while, but after a while he seemed to have found the time to check his surroundings and was staring at us with tears in his eyes.

'You scared the shit out of me! What if he dies with his head cracked open!
'No, my master just surprised me on his own. Did you do something wrong to be that surprised just by talking to him normally in the first place?

　We kept saying it wasn't our fault for talking to him normally, and the master couldn't blame us any more. There is no proof that we did it on purpose, after all, he was half asleep at the wheel. We hadn't expected him to be so surprised just by talking to us, and it was completely unexpected. In other words, it was an accident.

''Kutu ... it can't be helped. For now, let's go to the next room and talk at leisure.

'Not really, here. I'd like to ask Tanikaze what he did to you, and I'm curious about what's under the floor there.

　My master was trying to pull us away from the workshop as a natural progression, but I was adamant that we continue our discussion in the workshop. After all, my real focus is not on the objects under the floor, but on the workmanship on the tanikaze. So it's more convenient to ask them right now.

'Tsk,'

　The master stood in front of us, clucking his tongue and trying to hide the hole. As the standoff continued, the door of the workshop was suddenly thrown open violently.

''Mm~''

　There was Amur, with his cheeks puffed out and looking like he was in a very bad mood.

'Now! Come on!

　While everyone else was distracted by Amur, the disciples were the first to act. Normally, even if we all took on the challenge, we would all be killed by the master, but this time he was well caught off guard, and the master was pushed by the disciples to the front of the hole.

"Oh, wait a minute!　

　The master tried to push his disciples back, but he couldn't stop their momentum, giving one of them time to explore the hole.

''Wow....''

　The disciple who looked into the hole let out a dumbfounded voice and was replaced by another disciple. And the disciple who took over also made the same kind of sound. The master had already quieted down as if he had given up, but he still didn't know what he was going to do, so his disciples took turns waiting on either side of him.

''What's inside.......wow.......''

　The disciples had finished looking, so now I looked in too, but I still only heard the same voice.

''Liquor, liquor, liquor, liquor, liquor, money........If this money is also the cost of purchasing liquor, then it's all liquor inside? More than that, this wall is amazing...it's staggering.

　Well, as a dwarf, it's no surprise that the contents are all liquor, but I couldn't hide my surprise that the walls are made entirely of orichalcon, perhaps to protect that liquor. Moreover, they even carved a magic circle to make it impossible to search for it with magic. I'll keep this magic circle in mind and try to use it next time.
　However, the dwarf's...or rather, master's obsession with alcohol is frightening when he makes a 2m (length) x 2m (width) x 1m (height) Orihalcon safe to protect his drink.

''Master.......didn't you get into a fight the other day, saying you couldn't pay for the ingredients?''
And the bar tab we worked so hard to get out of?
''There's a million g's just from the money we have here... but what was our hard work back then?

　Unlike me, who was impressed by the oddities, the disciples seem to be very angry. Well, from what I've heard, I don't think it's unreasonable. If my grandfather had done that, I would have lost my temper too, no doubt.
　After that, a slugfest between the master and his apprentices began, but I'll skip it because I wasn't really interested in it. Incidentally, it was a no contest at the end due to the interruption of the guards after a fierce fist fight.



　Even if I actually touched it, I couldn't be sure that the inner recesses of the stone hadn't been tampered with, so I'd have to examine it carefully.
　Incidentally, Amur, who should have been in a pretty bad mood, seemed to have been dampened by the master's brawl, and was back to normal with a single baked cake.

'Let's go home.'
"Hm.

　Me and Amur went back to the apartment with the masters getting pissed off at the guards, but this time Amur had forgotten something important. That's right, he's running away from Blanca...
　When Amur returned to his apartment, he was captured by the waiting Blanca and locked up in his apartment in a bound state.

'Temma, thank God,'
'Muggs! Mogogo!

'No, I wasn't helping Blanca...'　

　Blanca was grateful that I had brought Amur with me, and Amur thought I had set him up, and he was yelling something while the gag was being chewed on. I denied that it wasn't, but I ended up setting Amur up, which broke my heart a little bit... Most importantly, I also forgot about my grandfather's presence, locked the carriage and went to bed early, so I had to apologize to him the next day for apologizing to him. Oh, shit.
