After our breakfast, i went to our mansion’s saloon .
As it was rare for us to have customers, I went to work slightly late .
And the one who visited us were the Neptune family .
And obviously with Neptune, he was accompanied with Ran and Lil .
Neptune sat in the middle of the sofa, and both Ran and Lil were sitting beside him .
[All three of you always look close together . ] (Ryouta)
[I’m sure you’re doing even better yourself . How many people do you have right now, seeing that you have a mansion now . ] (Neptune)
[Well, I can say that I know them well enough to have them stay here . ](Ryouta)
[Of course you are . Your precious friends, it’s important to know them . ] (Neptune)
[Yeah… . ] (Ryouta)
[However, the association of Flint is still too young for you to—-] (Neptune)
[Anymore and I’ll be sent to court okay!] (Ryouta)
Needlessly retorting his jokes, Neptune had a friendly smile .
[I’m scared . It’s gonna be a pain if you get angry, so I’ll back off this time . ] (Neptune)
[It’s not like I’m angry at that . ] (Ryouta)
[I know . ] (Neptune)
[Mu . ] (Ryouta)
While he was laughing, he has a serious look on his face .
[I like that side of you . ] (Neptune)
[I’ll seriously be angry if you go off into that direction . ] (Ryouta)
[Don’t worry, I’m not like that okay . It’s more like pouring you a cup of wine, sort of like . ] (Neptune)
[Please spare me from that . ] (Ryouta)
I’m used to people calling me Ryouta family, but to say it like that, it’s gonna make me sound like some mafia or yakuza .
Sometimes I don’t know whether Neptune is joking or being serious, but for now let’s just continue with why he’s here .
[So, why are you here?] (Ryouta)
[Hmm, actually it’s not you, but I wanted to greet with the rest… . but it’s fine if it’s you . ] (Neptune)
[The rest?] (Ryouta)
[Uhm…how should I put it . ] (Neptune)
Neptune’s two girls—–asked the two girls who were sticking with Neptune to answer .
Ran who looks like a childhood friend, and her cool and bewitching elder sister Lil .
Of the two, Lil answered the question with a dignified look .
[It’s Emily, Alice, Leia, and Mike, the four of them . ] (Lil)
[Yes yes, four of them . ] (Ran)
[… . Oh you mean about the spirits?] (Ryouta)
It’s four names which Neptune had never spoken to before .
Moreover, I was only friends with Leia and Mike recently, so they have never even met with Neptune before .
Though they have never met with Neptune, all of them have something in common .
They’re spirit name holders .
[Basically that . For any family who have multiple people who have spirit name holders, I would like to meet with those families . ] (Neptune)
[So you have a few who are spirit name holders . ] (Ryouta)
Though it was my first time hearing this, I wasn’t surprised .
After being transported into this world, I’ve listened to a variety of stories from the Neptune family .
And there are times where I’m indebted by them .
A person who is without a doubt powerful, and with many perfect results .
And to have many of them being spirit name holders .
So I’m not surprised .
[Let me introduce myself again, my name is Neptune・Oxygen . ] (Neptune)
[Oxygen huh . ] (Ryouta)
[Ran is Ran・Hydrogen . ] (Ran)
[Lil・Hydrogen . Remember it . ] (Lil)
[Hoh?] (Ryouta)
I’m not surprised about Neptune, but the two of the ladies .
I know about Hydrogen, as the dungeons have similar names with what we have on earth .
What I’m surprised about is that both sisters have the same spirit names .
[I’m sure you’re surprised . But that’s because the spirit would not admit if it isn’t the two of them . ] (Neptune)
[I see . ] (Ryouta)
[But…Oxygen and Hydrogen huh . ] (Ryouta)
[What’s wrong with it?] (Neptune)
Neptune tilted his head .
Looking at the three of them, I said .
[… . . H20 . ] (Ryouta)
Was what I said .
[Yes?] (Neptune)
[Nah, it’s nothing . ] (Ryouta)
[Is that so? Well whatever . Because of that, I want to meet with them, so I wondered if I could after asking you . ] (Neptune)
[Why would that be?] (Ryouta)
[In some cases, spirit name holders are ones that greatly affect the lives of many . I’m sure you understand . ] (Neptune)
[… . . I see . ] (Ryouta)
For example, Rebecca .
For her, she has the dungeon all on her own .
I mean it’s the same with me, but for Aurum’s sake, I made the dungeon having zero drops during night time .
So for Neptune saying that, I do understand .
[Though there’s no official position, they are far superior than that of the head of the dungeon association . ] (Neptune)
[That’s why . ] (Ryouta)
[So to have 4 of them behind your back, if you think about it, they’re yours because you’re the leader . But I won’t worry because it’s you . ] (Neptune)
[I don’t buy that . ] (Ryouta)
[Looking at you, I love it—–Hahahahah . ] (Neptune)
Then he kissed the two of them sitting next to him .
As if nothing had ever happened, the two of them rubbed their cheeks and Neptune continued .
[But, you’re really amazing . ] (Neptune)
[Hm?] (Ryouta)
[When we first met, you were just a normal adventurer, but after that you have four person with spirit name holders beside you… . ] (Neptune)
Neptune looked at me seriously .
[…… . You have become so large that you have affected millions of people . ] (Neptune)
