TLN Note: Clapping android

[Come onto my shoulder Mermera . Then we’ll be going~] (Alice)

After eating her breakfast at the dining room, Alice called out to Mermera and her monster friends before leaving off to the dungeon .

After going for her work, what remained in the dining room was me, Leia, Mike and Aurum .

[She’s lively today as well huh, that Alice . ] (Ryouta)

[It seems like she wants to explore different dungeons . ] Aurum answered .

She—–and Mermera, which is also Phosphorus, is a spirit name holder .

[Is that so . ] (Ryouta)

[Yeap . And it looks like she’s enjoying it . ] (Aurum)

[That said……How about you Aurum? Being with Mike and going everywhere as well . ] (Ryouta)

[Leave it to me!] (Mike)

Our recent addition to the family, the mini wiseman and also a unique monster, Mike, did a guts pose and was hyped .

[Not interested~] Aurum said, seemingly bored .

[Is that so . ] (Ryouta)

[Because~ all the dungeons are the same . We produce monsters, and humans kills it and gets something . ] (Aurum)

[I see, it is true that the other dungeons operates as so . ] (Ryouta)

Since all of the dungeons produces the raw materials .

From gold dust to bean sprouts, every dungeon drops something, which is why it’s a place where people [find materials] . ]

If you put it that way, it doesn’t really sound interesting .

[I want to see more things outside of the dungeon . ] (Aurum)

[Since you have Mike and all… . why not go for a vacation? If it’s as it is now, you can only look around at night . ] (Ryouta)

[Are you sure!?] (Aurum)

The [not interested] look on her face instantly turned a 180 as she immediately responded with an interested look on her face .

Aurum really loves seeing the outside world .

[Yeah, but if we go immediately, the adventurers would be annoyed with that, let me see, if it’s once a month—–] (Ryouta)

[One month is gonna go by so fast! Yay! Thank you Ryouta!!] (Aurum)

Aurum was extremely excited, which took me by surprise .

[Alright, then I’ll do my best today! Let’s go~] (Aurum)

[I understand!] (Mike)

Aurum hugged Mike and ran out of the dining room .

Most of the time, Mike has to follow Aurum, but if you look from this perspective, it’s like [an employee whose boss has given her permission to take leave] .

[Master . ]

[Yeah?] (Ryouta)

[It’s thanks to Master, but is the dungeon hers?] (Leia)

[That seems to be it . ] (Ryouta)

I had a hard time laughing .

Aurum who naturally felt happy from me, I couldn’t help but bitterly smiled .

Nihonium DUngeon, 8th floor .

[… . . It’s been a long time since I’ve came here huh . ] (Ryouta)

[It has been around three months, Master . ] (Leia)

Leia answered me sounded like my secretary .

[… . ] (Ryouta)

[Is there something on my face, Master . ] (Leia)

[Ah no, sometimes I feel like you’re a tutorial guide from a game . Like you would appear next to a small window text in the corner, and guiding me . ] (Ryouta)

[I cannot comprehend the words you’re saying Master . ] (Leia)

[As I thought . ] (Ryouta)

I smiled bitterly .

Even if I talk about video games to the people in this world, they would not understand, because it doesn’t exist here .

Thus I usually don’t talk about it .

[But it’s easier to say it to Leia . ] (Ryouta)

[Is that so . ] (Leia)

Leia lightly took it .

Even if I talk about my original world, Leia would just listen to it, so it’s easy to talk with her about it .

[Master . ] (Leia)

[What is it?] (Ryouta)

[Please look over there . ] (Leia)

Leia pointed to the ground at an angle, slightly away from us .

There was a doll-sized woman wearing a tomesode .

She’s probably NIhonium, the spirit of this dungeon .

[Sorry, I was busy for some time . ] (Ryouta)

She smiled brightly, however no words came from her .

I looked at her smile and thought for a moment .

Phosphorus who wanted to look at different dungeons, and Aurum who wants to see the outside world, instead of dungeons .

a.r.s.enic who is satisfied with food, and Selenium who wants some erotic love regardless of gender .

The spirits all want different things .

[Do you have anything that you want?] (Ryouta)

I asked her .

Maybe she wants something as well?

Since I was curious, I asked her .

The woman just smiled .

Yes, she just smiled sweetly .

As always, she didn’t say anything, and disappeared .

[… . . Seems like she needs something . ] (Ryouta)

I thought so intuitively .

There’s no doubt .

Like any other spirits, at the deepest parts of the dungeon, there exist the spirits which wanted something .

I’m sure she wanted something as well .

After feeling that way, I was clearly relieved .

Remembering Aurum’s appearance .

Even working day and night, most spirits are unable to fulfill even that little hope that they have .

[I feel like doing something . Though I can’t do anything, I want to help the rest of the spirits . ] I uttered those words .

Then, I heard a clapping noise from the side .

When I looked at it, it was Leia applauding without any expression .

[What’s the matter Leia?] (Ryouta)

[I do not know either . ] (Leia)

[Hm? You clap even without knowing?] (Ryouta)

[Yes . Master suddenly looked bright, and my hands suddenly moved on its own . ] (Leia)

[I see . ] (Ryouta)

[Aah, I just understood now . ] (Leia)

[Yeah?] (Ryouta)

[Master, is great . I’m impressed, so that’s why I’m clapping . ] (Leia)

I smiled at Leia who was moved by such things .
