Ahhh.....

I ate too much.........
Dinner was naturally the rice Chris made, and I ate until I was full at dinner after I was full at the food cart.

Hmmm........should I try to work out?
It would be nice to be able to protect yourself....
Fortunately, there's plenty of people to teach me.

But right now, my belly is aching........
I wonder if White is also full of stones, so he went back to his room, saying he was going to lie down and rest.
I told him not to lie down because it's right after he ate, but he's probably lying down.

By the way, as for Wendy, Emily has taken her to talk to her about something, and she's been taken away by Emily.
So now I'm leaning against the sofa alone.

"Um, are you okay?

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chris holding a jug of water and looking at me with concern.

'Chris. That was just fine. I'm stuck on this street, so I need you to bring Hayato to me...''
Okay. Would you like me to get you some digestive medicine as well?
'Oh, yes. Please.

He's a good, caring kid, really.
Oh, I remember you talking about giving her an accessory when her eye heals.
What kind of accessory would be good?
Would he be offended by a pin with "Hayato's life" written in Chinese characters?

Well, an ordinary Chris-like accessory would be good.
Well, the food is still impressive.

It's been waiting for you!
Oh, Hayato. Thanks for the pills, Chris.
No, I'll be off then.
Oh, wait a minute. Here you go.

He fumbled through the magic space and took out an elixir and handed it to Hayato.

''Eh, that?　This is.....
Oh. The elixir.
'A spirit or ... an elixir?　What's the matter with you!
Well this is a bit of a private conversation.

You can get away with it, but there's a good chance you'll need Hayato's help to make this elixir in the future.
It's not just a loss to have it, it's something that will give you peace of mind, and it shouldn't be a loss to make it.

Freed!
Haha. Here.

Suddenly, Mr. Fried appears.
He really is a godsend.

''From now on, you are not to allow anyone into this room. I won't even allow anyone to listen.
Perhaps even Lady Letty and her friends.
'Yes. And I'm asking you not to tell Freed or anyone else about it.
I'm sorry, sir.
Um, what should I do...
Uh, I want to see how it works, and I need you to stay with me.

If Chris' wounds heal, they'll find out later anyway, and it's just not a good idea to spread rumors when you're not sure yet.
I've got some concerns from the employees, but, well, I'm sure Freed will make sure that the confidentiality is properly enforced.
All the employees in this building are very serious.
They must have been properly selected.

I'd like to say that we'll get on with it then, but it's scary when the source is unknown.
'Well, how did you get it?　As was the case with my lord, did you receive it from the goddess?
''If that was the case, I would have given it to you before the auction. When my alchemy level reached level 9, I used the Known Magic Circle [Experience Circle] and somehow I was able to do it.
'The Known Magic Circle [Experience Circle], I think it can only be something that you've made once...'
That's true, but.... Well, I guess it's good to have it done.

This is the only thing I don't understand.
Why did they make it?
Was there a special condition?

That's why you made it...
'Yeah. It's an elixir to be appraised, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but if Chris doesn't think it's creepy, then use it.
''I'm fine, but........ Big brother, spirit medicine is very expensive, right?　If you sell, you'll get a lot of money.
I know, but wouldn't it be suspicious if I were the one who put it up?　If it comes down to it, I'll have them exhibit it through Hayato, but this is my chance to return the favor. Feel free to use it.
'Oh no, I don't owe you anything.... That was just what I deserved. So I'll pay you well!
I don't want it. I'm just returning the favor.

You repay a favor by accepting money from a benefactor.
That is not repayment of a favor.
Even if you need a lot of money as you aim to live a slow life from now on, it's only natural for a human being to do so.

'I understand......... Thank you.
You're welcome. Thank you.

I can't thank Hayato enough.
I'm glad that I got to meet Hayato first in this world.
Plus, I like this guy because he's a nice guy!

Then may I try it out?
'Yeah, by all means. I wanted to see how the elixir would work, too.

After saying that, Hayato handed Chris the elixir.
Chris turned to me once, so I smiled back at him with a smirk.
I peach the reagent in one gulp as Hayato silently nods in his direction.

Then the area around Chris's eyes became enveloped in a faint light, and a scene occurred in front of my eyes as if they were being absorbed into the area around his eyes.
That faint light........in other words, that must be it.

''Ah......... I can see it. Hayato-sama. I can see Hayato-sama's face with both eyes.''
'Yes, sir. Chris. Good for you.
Yes! .... yes!

Chris was happy to have tears in his eyes.
She was strong, but she's still a girl, so she can't allow the scars to remain on her face.
Besides, Hayato's eyes seemed to be glazing over a little.
They hugged each other tightly and the only sound in the room was Chris's crying.
Hayato patted him on the head with a pat on the head to quiet him down and held him tightly with his other hand.

I'd like to get to the point, but let's just sit here and watch this beautiful scene in one quiet moment.
Time passed as I too was filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction until the two of them were satisfied.



''Oh, I showed you the embarrassing part...''
'No, no. You've shown me your passionate and beautiful love, and I'm happy for you.
'Love..... Um, thank you very much!
You should thank Hayato for that. It's the result of Hayato's daily efforts.

I gave it to him because he was Hayato.
I'm not sure what would have happened if it hadn't been for Hayato.

''Please allow me to thank you as well.
No.
Thank you. Mr. Itzuki. I will repay you for this favor.
'No, you don't owe me anything because I'm returning the favor...'

I've received a favor, returned the favor, and was declared to return the favor even more.
I'm saved my life, so I feel like it's still not enough, but.......

''No, I will definitely repay you.

Stubborn.
It reminds me of the old Aina.
Well, depending on what happens next, I'm sure you'll have a lot of help, and I naturally don't mind, but........

Well I understand. If there's anything I can do for you.
Yes!
Me too, yes!

They're both very serious and very similar.
That's okay. Thank you!　Thank God!　It's about the same.
It's embarrassing.

Now that we've seen the effects, we'll get right to it, but Hayato, there are a few things I want to ask you.
What is it?
Do you have any moonlight plants?
''Well......... Sorry, I gave it to Itsuki-san, so it's all there........
Well....

So we can't do the experiment.
But well, that's all I can think of.

'By the way, where did you get this moonlight plant?'
Well, I think...
It grew in the treasure chest room at the bottom of the dungeon that saved me.
'Yes, I did. But you also found them in the lowest level of other dungeons. I didn't know what I was going to use it for, so I only collected a little bit of it...''
Wait a minute. Moonlight plants grow by the light of the moon, right?　Can the light of the moon reach the lowest levels of the dungeon?
'Well..... But the treasure chest had a light shining on it from above, and it was growing around it, so maybe it was moonlight?
I couldn't see the source of the light, sir.

What kind of structure...?

'By the way, what do you do when you return to the surface from the lowest level of the dungeon?　Now you're going to move up?
'No, there is a magic circle in the restroom sometimes, but there is a magic circle that can transfer to the ground.

So, does that mean that the room in that treasure chest is not the lowest level, but the room after you're sent to the ground?
Maybe you'll have to defeat a boss or something to get to the dungeon's treasure chest room.
Will they still ride a magic circle at that point, or will they be forcibly transferred if they defeat it?
If it's close to the surface of the earth, the moonlight is not hard to understand.
However, if that's the case, I'm sure you can see the room in that treasure chest from the outside.

But the bottom level of the dungeon....
It's impossible for me to do that.
In that case, I guess I'll just have to ask Hayato to help me out.
The three members of the Red Line would be fine, but they're still at Class A. The only way to move up to Class S is through the dungeon.
I'm sure they've never stepped in a dungeon and the consent of the higher-ups is required to move up to S class, so I'm guessing they've never stepped in a dungeon either.

''Could it be...?
Yeah, I'm thinking maybe moonlighting is the elixir.
I see...
'Well, but it's only a high possibility. We're on the verge of finding out about the other materials, and I wanted to know one more thing...

If I had one, I could conduct an experiment and be sure of it....

Hayato-sama. Emily-sama might have one of those, don't you think?
'Oh, maybe he has it. It's possible he's brought it back because he's shown an interest in the glowing moonflower.
I believe Emily is with Wendy.
'Yes, would you like me to ask Fried to ask him and ask him to give it to you if he has it?
'Hmmm.... I need to keep my mouth shut, but I need certainty.

Besides, it's a story that will be found out sooner or later.
As long as it's around Hayato and me, there won't be any problems.......
However, you'll have to keep the confidentiality of this story firmly in place.
