The evening salon.

　All my friends were there.
　They were relaxing as usual and were divided into several groups here and there, talking and playing.

　It's the same scene as usual, but is it patronizing to think that everyone is having more fun than before - or is it patronizing?

　The fact that Vanadium itself is now paying the rent means that the upkeep of this place has become rock solid.

　It's impossible for the dungeon association side - the human side - to take up Vanadium in the future, especially since there have been many cases of spirits bending over, especially lately.
　If they do that, it won't be enough for Vanadium to bend its navel.

　They might be able to raise the rent, but that can be covered by Vanadium's own earnings.
　If you want, you can just help us breed a new breed of water again.

　We're on the board here.

　In the midst of all this, I was facing Elsa.
　Elsa was smiling at me.

Today's purchase price was 3.2 million piro.

　I reported to them.

　The magic cart has been forwarded to their 'money tree' and they know more about what I make than I do.
　Today, I asked them to cut down on the detailed numbers and give me a rough amount of money.

'I see,'
It's been stable and has exceeded 3 million. It's gradually increasing.
I'm doing this and that, and I feel like I can optimize it a bit more. Now I feel like I'm playing chess every day.
A puzzle.
Yeah. It's an image of a puzzle ...... and a quick solution. I know what I have to do, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do it as fast as possible by trial and error. It's like a time attack.
Isn't that about right?

　From the side, Sakura joined the conversation.
　She sat on the armrest of the sofa and leaned against me lightly from above.

'Three million a day, according to my uncle's calculations (、、、、、), that's a billion a year, right?'
Well, yeah.
That's more than enough for me. Vanadium-chan has started paying the rent here herself.

　As Sakura said this, Vanadium, who was playing with Yuki at a distance, noticed it and gave a small gut punch towards us.
　I'll take care of the rent here!　I'm very enthusiastic about it.

'That's true, though,'

　I picked up a cookie Emily had baked and took a bite.

'I'm enjoying this right now,'
Fun?
Yeah.

　I nodded deeply.

'Now that the pressure of rent is off, I'm doing it purely for the fun of seeing how far I can go. It feels like a game.
Yeah.
You know, the fun of being inventive and less capable.
My uncle likes to play bondage games and stuff.
Tied up?

　Elsa let out a scream.
　Her face turned red, too, and she held her mouth in her hands.

'No, I didn't mean to bind you like that.

　Sakura laughed and seemed a bit confused by the explanation.
　In this world, where there are no video games, the word "bondage play" is not popular, and Erza seemed to associate the word "play" with the slightly naughty word "bondage".

　Sakura explained the meaning of bondage play to Elsa.
　I thought to myself that I might as well.

　Sometimes I'll make up rules on my own to play a game that I've completed a few times.

　In an RPG where a certain bride controversy is still going on, I've done it in a play that only uses monsters and forbids them to be revived.

　Binding play that puts restrictions on it like that--.

Well, I'm just a regular guy who enjoys it.
Uncle M, right?
It's not.
But I know you're enjoying the situation.
Well, this is fun.
Yeah, that's M.
No, no,

　I'll defend myself to Sakura.
　If they continue to identify me as M and spread the word, we'll be in trouble.

'If Lyota finds out he's M, maybe that guy will make a statue like that tomorrow.
'I'm denying it because that seems most likely!　I mean, do you know what Alice M. means?!

　I shove at Alice, who makes a slightly unfunny joke.

　Soooooo, a shadow pointed from above me.

　I turned around and saw Nihonium coming and standing there before I knew it.

'What's going on?'
Boring.
What?
It doesn't hurt to take away the power.
'What?　Oh, .......

　That's the thing.

　I'm all F now because the head of our species, Nifonium, confiscated my ability to do so.
　And the reason I'm an F now is because the mainstay of our species, Nifornium, has confiscated its abilities, and the reason I'm an F now is because it wants to get me in trouble.

　But I'm not in trouble. I'm enjoying it.

"You're not in trouble, I'm done.
What?

　Nifonium held up his hand with a buzzing face.
　Then a faint light enveloped me.

'Ah ......'
What is it, Uncle?
I'm back.

　I take the portable now board out of my pocket and use it.

　We've got our powers back.

Nihonium?
If you're not in trouble, there's no point.

　Nihonium looked unamused and went back to the group of spirits where Aulum and the others were.

　In an unexpected way, the power came back to him.
