Silicon Dungeon, bas.e.m.e.nt first floor.
A dungeon where n.o.body is inside besides me, Emily, and Celeste.
[There"s so many monsters nanodesu.] (Emily)
[They…..don"t look any different.] (Celeste)
While our family is walking and looking around, Celeste looked at the monsters and commented.
The first dungeon"s green caterpillar are like the size of a tissue box. The monsters at the third floor are similar to this as well.
[That"s right. It looks the same when I first came here to save those people.] (Ryouta)
[It was so troubling at that time desu.] (Emily)
[Because of Emily, we could help them. Well then, let"s check the monsters to confirm. Can you help me with it Emily?] (Ryouta)
[Yes desu.] (Emily)
Emily took out her 2 meter tall hammer.
[Her appearance is out.] (Celeste)
[It does look like it.] (Ryouta)
[Yes. And she"s going to turn her switch on.] (Celeste)
[Heh?] (Ryouta)
I"m interested in the switch being on, as I looked at Emily.
The air around her changed, and her expression changed as well.
The usual kind and nurturing mother instantly changed into a hero ready for war.
Emily swung her hammer round and round, making wind noises that sounded like its breaking the wind"s speed, then she jumped right at the caterpillar.
[Yaaaaaaaa!] (Emily)
Her hammer swung right down, making an exploding Don! sound.
The place where the caterpillar was had a spider shape crack on the ground, but the caterpillar seems alright.
[—–Haaaaaa!] (Emily)
She hyped herself again, and swung her hammer at the exact same spot again, creating a huge crater on the spot.
Immediately after, she jumped back to take a distance. Thinking that she has given up, she swung her hammer one last time.
Doo—on! ! !
She swung down at the same spot one last time.
[Did she use magic?] (Ryouta)
[No, that"s just dusts from the aftermath. The ground has been turned to dust….] (Celeste)
While being amazed at her skill, the dust cleared up, and I could see the caterpillar.
Inside the midst, the caterpillar is coming at us.
[Uu, there"s no effect whatsoever desu.] (Emily)
[Can"t be help. Next up….is Celeste"s turn.] (Ryouta)
[Okay, let"s do this.] (Celeste)
Swapping with Emily, this time it"s Celeste"s turn.
Emily jumped backwards, and Celeste silently chanted with her hands out.
[Inferno.] (Celeste)
[…..Eh, nothing came out desu.] (Emily)
[Even when she chanted the magic, it didn"t appear. Is the Magic Storm still around?] (Ryouta)
Emily and I tilted our heads.
While looking at Celeste not moving at all, she continued to chant the magic again.
[Inferno! !] (Celeste)
Again, she chanted, and this time, a huge flame whirl around the caterpillar, eating it up.
[She did it desu, and it"s amazing desu. It looked like her magic has strengthened up desu.] (Emily)
[I see, so that"s how it is.] (Ryouta)
[What do you mean nanodesu?] (Emily)
[It was after she casted the second Inferno. At first it was hard to understand, but if you look closely, there"s actually two Infernos. My theory is that the first cast was delayed and adjusted to the second Inferno"s timing.] (Ryouta)
After saying what I thought, Celeste turned around, and her face was slightly dyed in red.
[As expected of Ryouta, being able to see it on your first try.] (Celeste)
[So you timed it to increase your fire power?] (Ryouta)
[Yes, and it"s not twice the power of 1+1, but 10 times.] (Celeste)
[so like increase in 200.] (Ryouta)
Celeste and Emily looked at me with confusion.
Since they do not understand the anecdote from my previous world, I brushed it off.
Inside the flames, the caterpillar was still moving around.
[Even magic is not effective.] (Celeste)
[This is troubling nanodesu.] (Emily)
Celeste and Emily made a worrisome look.
Originally, Silicon"s monster is immune to physical attack, but because of the Dungeon Master incident, both magic and physical attacks are immune.
Then, I fired an Annihilation Bullet at the caterpillar, it worked.
The drop was a purple cabbage.
[As expected of Yodsan nanodesu.] (Emily)
[Yeah. But we can"t leave it at that.] (Celeste)
[Yeah, If the dungeon can only be used by me, the productivity will drop tremendously.] (Ryouta)
[Let"s head back….and come up with something else.] (Celeste)
[Wait for a minute.] (Ryouta)
I took out the ring that was dropped by the Silicon"s Dungeon Master.
[Is that the drop of the Dungeon Master nanodesu?] (Emily)
[Yeah.] (Ryouta)
[So you"re going to try and change the ecosystem again?] (Celeste)
[That"s why I have a favour for the both of you. I want you to continue burning the caterpillars while I"m fighting with the Dungeon Master. If the ecosystem changed and magic works, I"ll immediately defeat the Dungeon Master. Basically similar to what I did back in Lanthanum.] (Ryouta)
[Eh? But I thought that the monsters would disappear while the Dungeon Master is out?] (Celeste)
[For that….] (Ryouta)
I took out the purple cabbage that was dropped, and left it just outside the dungeon, then went far away to let it hatch.
Then I spoke to the two of them.
[It"s just a guess, but I think it"s fine if it"s outside the dungeon.] (Ryouta)
[I see nanodesu!] (Emily)
[You thought about it…..] (Celeste)
[If that doesn"t work, we can still see the change of the ecosystem. Then we can switch to a repeating strategy.] (Ryouta)
[Understood.] (Celeste)
Leaving it to the two of them, I stepped foot into the dungeon. Left the item to hatch the Dungeon Master.
I had one more idea.
The fact that the entire dungeon is stopped would also affect the production of the city.
And having the two of them test the caterpillar simultaneously is also a little faster.
But, there"s one more way to do it.
[Leia] (Ryouta)
『Understood.』 (Leia)
Together with Leia who had been silent for a long time, she extended her arm and casted [Revive] on the ring.
Immediately, the Dungeon Master crawled out.
I fired a Speed Up Bullet on me, and also on the Dungeon Master.
Since I haven"t used it for awhile, I have stockpiled some Speed Up Bullets.
This will probably…..speed up the change in the ecology of the dungeon.
After the Dungeon Master hatched, I fought with it.
Since I"ve fought with it before, it"s much more easier, what"s more it isn"t a particularly tough Dungeon Master.
So, I fought with it normally, like how I earn money.
Meanwhile, I would look outside occasionally.
Emily would hold onto the caterpillar, and Celeste would try burning it.
After the acceleration stopped, I fired the bullet at the both of us again.
I would time it nicely for the best efficient.
I could see the dungeon structure changing, especially the walls and ceilings looked like it was about to crumble any moment because of the Dungeon Master"s influence.
After using about 9 sets of Speed Up Bullets…..in actuality, only 5 minutes have past—-
[There we go!] (Celeste)
The caterpillar is being burned by the flames.
[Repet.i.tion!] (Ryouta)
I immediately used magic to defeat the Dungeon Master after hearing that.
After the Dungeon Master was defeated, it dropped the ring, and the atmosphere returned to normal.
[Yodsan!] (Emily)
[Ryoutsan!] (Celeste)
[Please confirm it again.] (Ryouta)
[Yes desu!] (Emily)
[I got it.] (Celeste)
The two of them found a caterpillar, and fought against it.
Emily as usual did no damage to the caterpillar, and Celeste"s magic properly burned the caterpillar up.
[Phew, it"s finally back to normal.] (Ryouta)
[Yodsan is amazing desu.] (Emily)
[Managing to change the dungeon in 5 minutes…..] (Celeste)
I breathed a sigh of relief while my friends were praising me.
