'Huh?　Isn't that Margaret?

　On this day, as I walked out of Plumbum's room towards the dungeon, I encountered a familiar face.

　Her golden fluffy hair and neat red ribbon, a pure white dress that suited her ladylike appearance very well.
　She is waving a large white ribbon at her waist, waving a large sword and tossing the monster in the air.

　Margaret.

　She is the leader of the Margaret Family, under the Lyota Family, which is the most similar to me in this world.

"Lyota-sama!

　The moment she noticed me and turned around, Margaret ran up to me with a florid expression.
　Behind her, as usual, the four knights guarding the princess were following her.

　As I recall, their names were - Lat, Socha, Pray, and Builder.
　...... I don't actually know exactly who they are.
　I think it's because they are intentionally trying to "protect the princess from the shadows" and erase the individuality of each of them.

It's been a while!
'Long time no see. I didn't know you were in Prumbum.
Yes, I've heard the rumors. I knew I had to come and see you.
'Rumours?　What's the rumor that would make Margaret come?

　I've been heavily involved in Plumbum Dungeon and TetraMin lately, but I don't have any idea what it looks like.

　Princess Margaret, an idle adventurer who has made air cans and touring rights a commodity.
　Milk--I'm sure she's not related to the livestock dungeon pulumbum.

'It's--'
Your Highness, the next monster has arrived.
I'm sorry, that was close.
I would like to have a dewdrop.

　One of the knights - I don't remember which name it was, but the one who acted like the leader of the four of us every time - bowed his head reverently.

''Please wait a moment.''
That's fine.

　Wondering what was going on, Margaret and the others went towards the monster.
　It was still a perfect battle strategy.

　The four knights ahead of them attacked and weakened the monster.
　Their discernment was perfect.
　The four of them attacked with a fierce onslaught, and then at a certain moment the attacker's hands stopped.
　The attacked monster is a crippled, desperate and dying monster that everyone can see.

　That's when Margaret takes it a step further and twirls her big sword around.

　The first piece of the ability is all F, the weakest of all adventurers.
　But the second drop is all A, the strongest drop rate among all adventurers.
　Margaret is an adventurer who shines by "specializing in tome".

　The big sword cut through the dying monster and the item dropped.

　It's not milk, it's a Ryou-sama bromide.

Yay!　It's out!
Congratulations to 「「「「 」」」」

　Margaret was overjoyed to have the bromide in her hand.
　In response, the four knights quickly got down on one knee and hung their heads.
　As usual, the 'princesses and knights' are still a beautifully complete family.

''What, was that what you were after?''
Yes, I do.

　Margaret tucked the Master Ryo bromide away carefully.

'You're not going to use it?'
'No!　There's no way I'm going to use it now!
Is that so?

　Then I wondered when they would use it.

'Yes!　Now let's go on and on and on. Rato, Socha, Play, Builder.
「「「「 haha 」」」」
So, Mr. Lyota, I'm sorry to say: ......
Yeah, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll see you around.
Yes, sir.

　I watched Margaret leave.

'Really, why wouldn't I use it?'
I've developed a trend that I haven't been using lately.

　I was surprised when he suddenly called out to me from the side.
　Dale was beside me before I knew it.
　I was a little surprised, but I quickly calmed down and asked him back.

'Why don't you use it?'
As more and more adventurers used it, one property was discovered. The summoned Lyota-sama--

　It's Ryo-sama, though. I pouted in my mind.
　It's embarrassing to be told that that shoujo manga chick is straight up me.
　With 'Ryo-sama', I can still insist that it's a different character.

''-- is a blow to the closest monster and then disappears right afterwards.　If the monster isn't there, it won't attack or disappear, and it will stand on the spot on a stick.
Oh, really?
There's a movement to take advantage of that and convert it to security use.
...... Yeah.

　I'm convinced.

　Master Ryo is not an item. A bromide is an item, but Master Ryo is not.
　The original floating fish monster hatches from the bromide, but Master Ryo doesn't hatch into a haggler.

　And because of its massive attack power, it can stand on its feet until the monster appears and then attack the moment it finds it, it can be used as an automatic security robot.

That's why the bromides themselves are selling for quite a bit of money, and more and more people are redeeming them without using them.
'I see, and so does Margaret.

　I was somehow convinced that she had put it away without using it.

　　　　　☆

　We went through the gate and returned to the mansion.
　Now, I'll have to go through Aulum next and collect the accelerated bullets at Lyota's village.

　What a thought.

'Thanks!　Mr. Celeste.
'I don't need to be thanked. I'm being paid well.
Yes, thank you.

　I could hear my companion's voice from a distance.
　It was a very familiar voice and I immediately recognized who it was.
　It was Celeste, and Elsa.

　Curious about what they were talking about, I left the transporter room and went towards the voices.

　Elsa was in the room at the back of the mansion, the sub-branch of "Swallow's Grace".
　It seemed like Celeste had already gone somewhere else, and Erza was alone in the room.

　Pong, a drop item was transferred to her.
　It's a mountain of flowers.

　It's probably Emily's drop items, which were transferred via the magic cart.
　I'm going to be able to get the numbers written down in the ledger.

　The "Swallow's Benefit" sub-branch.
　The Lyota family's harvest is transferred here through a custom magic cart, and Erza, who was sent here exclusively to count them.

　Come to think of it, I haven't seen many places for Elsa to work.

　The rest of her friends sometimes go to dungeons with her, so I can usually figure out what they do.
　Elsa doesn't, so I don't know much about her.
　I wonder what she usually does?
　I was curious about that, so I waited a while for him to call out to me, and then I thought I'd observe.

　--but.

'Mr. Lyota,'
'Wow!　And Celeste. You're still here.

　Celeste suddenly appeared from behind me.

''Yes, more importantly, Lyota-san, I have a little favor to ask you.
What are you asking for?　Okay, what?
Come with me.

　I couldn't say no when my friends asked me to do so.
　I took Celeste up on her offer, turned myself around and left the place with her.

''It's a warrior's mercy ...... no after-sales service,''
What's the matter with you, Celeste? Turn around and mumble.
No, it's nothing. Let's go.
Yeah.

　Once again, I walked away from this place with Celeste.

　　　　　Stars

　After Ryota and Celeste left, the 'Tsubame's Benefit' sub-branch.

　Erza didn't know that she had been seen just before, and once the transfer was over, she took out the items she had gotten from Celeste.

　The most popular and hottest product right now.
　A Ryou-sama bromide, made in Prumbum.

'Ryota-san: ......'

　Elsa used the bromide, staining her cheeks and feeling ashamed.
　Ryota with a girl's manga touch--Ryo-sama was summoned.

　After being summoned, Ryou-sama would stand on a stick if there were no monsters around.

　The sub-branch of "Tsubame's Grace".
　Naturally, there were no monsters, and Ryou-sama, with a flower in the background, was shimmering and unmoving.

''Ufufu......''

　Looking at Ryou-sama, Erza smiles even more ashamedly at her.
　She gently sits Ryou-sama down and sits down beside her, too.

　Alone at work, Elsa swooned as she gave Ryou-sama a lap pillow.

　A growing number of people among a very small section of the population are using Ryou-sama in this way. ......
