The person in front of me was undoubtedly an annoyingly cool looking guy.

A blonde hair with a leather jacket, which gives off an intimidating att.i.tude.

I looked around where the cool guy was standing.

It was somewhere I"m familiar with, the type of room which I frequented.

The room where the spirits live.

Which also means.

"So, you"re Tennessine?" (Ryouta)

"Be grateful, human. You are the first human ever to step foot here, and be granted such an opportunity to meet a spirit such as I." (Tennessine)

"Is that so." (Ryouta)

"That"s right. Normally, there is no need for a spirit to personally welcome a human to their place." (Tennessine)

I"m sure.

"What is the reason you called me here then?" (Ryouta)

"To warn you about one thing." (Tennessine)

When he said that, he stared at me menacingly.

"Warn me?" (Ryouta)

"You have done some things in my dungeon." (Tennessine)

"Yes. I"m planning to make a city inside your dungeon." (Ryouta)

"And on whose permission did you obtain to do whatever you want?" (Tennessine)

"About that……. I"m sorry." (Ryouta)

Without making any excuses, I apologized to him.

Well, I did just create a city without the consent of the owner—– the main person himself?

So, it is correct of him to say that I am in the wrong.

"You"re right. I"m sorry for doing whatever I want in your dungeon." (Ryouta)

"Hmm, I do not care less about what you do." (Tennessine)

"So you are." (Ryouta)

I chuckled slightly.

Then what is the point of calling me here to wanr me, but say that you couldn"t care less.

"However, I have warned you. I shall acknowledge your seamless work this time, but there will not be a next time." (Tennessine)

"Got it, I"ll keep that in mind." (Ryouta)

"………"

"…….."

And now the conversation seems awkward.

The silent atmosphere continued.

"Umm——" (Ryouta)

"How is my drop?" (Tennessine)

"Yes?" (Ryouta)

When I wanted to ask something, he cut me off with another question.

"By drop you mean, the drop I get when I defeat a monster in this dungeon?" (Ryouta)
"What else could I be talking about?" (Tennessine)

Again he stared at me with sharp eyes.

What a hard to deal with spirit we have here.

"It"s amazing? For example, the first floor has Matsutake, which in of it itself is amazing. The shape and smell of it are exquisite." (Ryouta)

"So that is what you think of it." (Tennessine)

He raised his hands up.

Then, a Matsutake appeared from his hands, which looked to be the most refined shape so far.

I sniffed the Matsutake.

"Hmm, the smell is amazing as well. This looks to be the highest quality Matsutake I"ve witnessed thus far." (Ryouta)

"…….H-Human, do you like it?" (Tennessine)

"Hm? Yeah I mean sure." (Ryouta)

"Hmm! You are a strange human to find such trash interesting. Since I don"t want it, you can pick it up." (Tennessine)

When he said that, he pushed the Matsutake to me.

It"s gonna be troublesome to have it now…… Let"s give it to Emily to make a dish out of it.

"…….."

"………."

The mood became awkward again.

"Anyways——-" (Ryouta)

"What is something else that you like about this dungeon?" (Tennessine)

Again he cut me off and asked.

"Eh? Uhmmm…. The caviar. When I first tasted it, that was also—–" (Ryouta)

"Is that so." (Tennessine)

He raised his hands and there appeared a plate full of caviars.

"Aaah, that"s the one." (Ryouta)

"Hmm, To be so thankful for some measly fish eggs, at least you human would know something as simple as this." (Tennessine)

"Huh…." (Ryouta)

"I don"t need this anyways, take it as well." (Tennessine)

He then handed me the caviar as well.

"……."

"……."

Third times the chance I guess?

"I guess I should head———-" (Ryouta)

"What other things you find that are great?" (Tennessine)

"….. Are you perhaps…" (Ryouta)

Anyone would know it"s strange that he"s cutting me off so many times.

It"s as if he wants to prolong his conversation.

The act of pushing something to me everytime I say something I like.

What"s more, the ☆.

When the ☆ disappears, you will be trapped in this dungeon forever.

Putting two and two together, one possibility emerged.

"Are you perhaps, lonely?" (Ryouta)

"Wha——" (Tennessine)

Tennessine"s face turned red in an instant.

He desperately denied it while sweat was drooping from his face.

"What makes you think I"m lonely! Are you stupid? Who do you think I am? I"m one of the spirits that supports this world, and one of the few dungeons that is built to go up. Who do you think you"re calling lonely! You human who arbitrarily measures a spirit, stupid——" (Tennessine)

Wow….

Somehow, he seems really easy to understand now.

It"s actually sad that I can understand him.

"I see. It"s my fault for saying something weird." (Ryouta)

"Y-Yeah. As long as you know your place." (Tennessine)

"…..Hey, there"s something I would like you to do, is that fine?" (Ryouta)

"A request? What a rude human to be asking one from a spirit. But since I"m so generous, I will give you the opportunity to allow me to listen." (Tennessine)

O-Okay.

Trying hard not to laugh, I put up with a [Please] face and said.

"Ooo! Satou-sama." (Cell)

When I finally returned, the worried Cell greeted me.

"Are you alright?" (Cell)

"Ah yeah I"m fine. I was just called by Tennessine." (Ryouta)

"That"s just." (Cell)

" " "Oooooooooo! !." " "

The workers around us were amazed.

"So you were invited by a spirit." (Cell)

Cell who calmed down quickly answered in his usually calm tone.

"Yeah, and I"ve made a promise." (Ryouta)

"A promise?" (Cell)

"I asked whether we can change the floormaster every year." (Ryouta)

"What! As expected of Satou-sama! How did you persuade the spirit?" (Cell)

"The requirement is that I have to go shopping for high quality ingredients every day." (Ryouta)

"…..What?" (Cell)

Even Cell was making a face as though he did not understand the situation.

Well, I would"ve said the same if I were him.

However, if you hadn"t actually seen Tennessine, you would"ve thought so as well.
