As I realized this, I was more and more determined to get out first.

　As I walked up the stairs, I was able to get out as soon as I could.

　It was as if they had been waiting for me to notice it all this time, and after noticing it, I was able to get out just one floor up.

　When I got to the front, it was a familiar place.
　A place I had lived in for a while, and then quickly moved in and stopped living there.

　A place that I no longer lived in and only maintained.

　It's that cheap apartment for 20,000 piro a month.

　I walked out of the stairs and found myself in that apartment.

"You're leaving here: ...... Oh, I see.

　This is exactly what it means to be here.
　It's the first time I came to this world and the first place I got to live with my hard work and money.
　It's the first place where I've been able to achieve something if I work hard enough.


　When I think of it that way, I feel like it's only natural to come out here.
　And I've been keeping this room for a long time, and it's starting to feel like it's just for this moment.

...... Is that too much of a complication?

　I chuckled.
　Maybe it's the sudden creation of the satnium and the confusion it's causing me to make all sorts of leaps and bounds in my thinking.

　I chuckled and left that room, which Emily was still tending to, with a wry smile.

　The city of Cyclo was bustling with activity today.

　It's even busier and more prosperous than it was right after I moved here.
　People are laughing too.
　I wonder if the satnium will contribute to this prosperity.

　I hope so.

　I hope it will become more and more of a place where people are rewarded for their work.

　That's what I'm thinking.

'Huh?　That's unusual.
What?
It's been a long time since we've seen each other in town, hasn't it?

　When I turned towards the voice, the three people there were Neptune, Ran and Lil, who were always with him, and the three of them.

　Neptune approached us, with his arms crossed from both sides by the two of them.

'What's wrong with you around here?　What do you have with Nifongnium?
Oh, no. It's not like that.

　Neptune knows I'm attacking Nihonium, but he doesn't know what happens after I've attacked it.

　Now, I'm trying to figure out how to explain that: .......

'Huh?'

　Neptune stared at me with a look on his face as if he noticed something.

'What, what?'
Have you ...... changed your mood in any way?
What?

　I got a kick out of that.
　No way, I thought.

　When you say that at this point in time, there's only one thing that comes to mind.

　No, but I didn't expect to be able to say it with such pinpoint accuracy - I didn't know that.

It's similar to Hydrogen and Oxydin: ......, right?
I should have known.
It's like that, isn't it?

　With him, Lan and Lil, unusually, responded with a calm stare at me instead of poking at me.

　Hydrogen's Hydrogen and Oxygen's Oxydin.

　Ran and Lil are with the genie of Hydrogen, and Neptune is with the genie of Oxyzine.

　And yet the three of them are always together, so I secretly call them the H2O Trio in my mind.

　With a genie, they are--

Yes, it's just like that. The genie from back then.
Um, .......
You ........................... ......... turned into a genie?

　There was a lot of space between Neptune's words, from "you" to the next word.
　It seems to show his hesitation.
　As expected, this is usually too silly to say.

　At the same time, it shows that he is a good adventurer.
　He is able to judge what is happening in front of him based on the facts that he can see, not on the framework of common sense.

　I nod quietly, admiringly.

'I'm not quite sure yet, but I think I might be.'

　I replied.

"...... Haha, that's great, Kimi. You're still amazing.

　Neptune was overjoyed for some reason.
