“W-We’ll contact her right away!”
“You can stay here and rest, brother-in-law.”
They say as they head to the holiday house.
I had no intention of telling them I’m a core holder, but the past few days did a lot to raise my level of trust in them. I don’t regret it, and I think it’s fine to tell my mother-in-law Sakuya too.
I’m sure she already knows I’m the core holder of Unlucky Hall anyway.
“…Ah. That was the right call, right?”
“I will follow any decision you make, darling.”
Ayane didn’t get along with her sisters until not long ago, but there hasn’t been any problem ever since they made up, and I feel like they’re getting along in their own way. It doesn’t feel like they’re only doing that in front of me, or are doing it because that’s what I want. Well, I can’t imagine they’ll have a super good sisterly relationship like Aki and Maki, but at least it’s not cold either.
I’ll just pat Ayane’s head for now.
“Hehehe.”
“I think it’s fine. They’re being cooperative, and Sakuya will owe us a big one.”
“For what?”
“You know, this is her holiday house, and a dungeon appeared right in front of it. If you can become its core holder it’ll be completely harmless, and it’s up to you and her if you want to turn it into a resource or seal it.”
“I see…”
Turn the dungeon into a resource…
It could mean money for the Houjouin family, depending on the magic stones and materials that would be harvested. Well, it being at the bottom of the sea means it’s a really big hassle to access, but apparently ever since Bubble Magic and other footage was revealed, materials from rare monsters in beaches like in the Heart Dungeon have been trickling in. Even if the demand and supply don’t match.
Because of this the prices are really high, so there should be plenty of adventurers after this one too. The fact that this dungeon is at the bottom of the sea will probably increase demand even more.
“Well then master, let us deal with the items before going to the dungeon. You have to roll the gacha as well.”
“Ah, yes. Can you set up the house?”
“Very well.”
Aira takes a house from her bag, and as Enki sets up the ground, we slap the sand off our bodies. I’m still a little damp, but Seren sucks away the moisture, and Enril clears the sand off me.
“Thanks everyone.”
‘Gogo.’
‘Popo.’
‘~~.’
We don’t waste time going inside, and see Aira lining up the skills in the living room.
“The tentacles that dropped are too big, so I refrained from placing them here.”
“I caught a peek when Seren brought them, but they really seemed huge…”
“I wonder if they’re bland.”
“We will just have to taste and see.”
‘Pururu!’
‘~~?’
‘Popo!’
“Fufu, everyone is excited.”
“Well, I’m curious too… But let’s see what skills we got.”

“I only took down three kinds of monsters, but there’s so much… Come to think of it, the fish and sharks didn’t drop anything, did they?”
“It seems like it. If my memory serves me well, sharks do have skills, but it depends on the dungeon.”
“Come to think of it, it was the long range team and Iris who took down the sharks. It’s natural that there weren’t drops with Aki and the others, but…”
‘Purupuru.’
Iris trembles in Ayane’s arms, as if responding to me.
‘Gogo?’
‘Popopo?’
‘Purururu!’
‘Po? Popoh.’
‘Gogogoh.’
“Ah… I see. Apparently the sharks did drop skills, but it was going wild eating, so it gobbled them up too.”
“Oh, I see.”
“It can’t be helped then.”

Swimming and Freak Eater are maxed out. Wait. Does that mean you can swim, Iris?”
‘Pururu…’
Iris trembles like it’s uncertain.
If I knew about this, I could’ve changed the battle plans… But it’s fine, it’s not like we had a lot of trouble taking it down. But the fact that Iris and I still can’t communicate is a bigger issue. Even its food, magic energy…
“Wait, my Magic Stone Control skill leveled up. Let’s give it a shot.”
