[Let’s take a look at the other floors . I wish to understand the situation on each floor . ] (Ryouta)
[Yeah, that is a good idea . ] (Celeste)
[Nn . ] (Eve)
Celeste and Eve agreed and we headed down to another floor in Plumb.u.m .
All of the dungeon’s floors were [breathable under water] .
Though our movement has slowed down, at least Celeste could still cast her various magics, though not as effective .
Even my bullets have slowed down by quite a bit, probably around half of its original powers .
Furthermore, even moving at full speed, the resistance from the water is consuming a great deal of our stamina .
So, it’s better to move slowly and at a constant speed .
It’s similar to walking in a pool .
Also, what we found was that the monsters are all [fish] .
There’s goldfish with horns, or whales with wings in the water, but ultimately they’re all fish type monsters .
What’s more, they have the exact same characteristics, where they will split if you don’t defeat them in one hit .
Even if I tried defeating them with a single blow, I often lose my momentum, and just barely defeat them with wounds on myself .
What a tricky place .
[The problem here is really the splitting characteristics of the monsters . ] (Celeste)
While we were proceeding, Celeste said what I was thinking .
[That’s right . ] (Ryouta)
[It’ll be great if we can change that, but how can we change the characteristics of the monsters?] (Celeste)
[I guess I can try to see if breeding can be done here . Maybe we can change the monster itself . ] (Ryouta)
[Then we need to call two more people from the mansion . ] (Celeste)
[That’s unnecessary . ] (Ryouta)
Eve suddenly tilted her neck in confusion .
[In order to breed, we need 2 or more spirit name holders, that’s Shikuro’s rule . But since we’re at Tetramine, I doubt that such a rule has been introduced yet . ] (Ryouta)
[So low level …is enough for the job . ] (Eve)
[So you’re leaving it to me only?] (Ryouta)
I bitterly laughed as I retorted .
[Low level can do it . Bunny believes . ] (Eve)
[I mean, I can do something about it, but I do need help when needed . I’ll give you as much carrots as you want . ] (Ryouta)
[Rabbit’s motivation has surpa.s.sed even the G.o.ds . ] (Eve)
Though it’s cheap, I added Eve’s cooperation .
With the three of us, we chatted whilst defeating the monsters and continued descending to the lower floors .
Plumb.u.m, the last floor .
The Dungeon Snow phenomenon is present here, and as usual we can breathe underwater .
[So this is the last floor . ] (Ryouta)
[Based on what was told, this is the last floor . ] (Celeste)
[The monsters are fish, but they look like dogs . ] (Ryouta)
[What a strange sight . ] (Celeste)
So what Eve said was right .
The last floor is a monster fish, but it has limbs .
The hands were hairy, and the feet have fishnet tights .
It’s weird that the dog is swimming—–with limbs .
[At least it’s a fish… . I guess . ] (Ryouta)
[Yeah . ] (Celeste)
[Let’s just defeat it and bookmark it . ] (Ryouta)
I took out my revolver .
Thinking whether I should use it, I decided to at least defeat it once so I could use Repet.i.tion .
The revolver is loaded with the Homing Bullets .
After various tests, in this “underwater” where my bullets speed drop, the Homing Bullet deals the most damage .
Of course, if we get used to it, I can use other bullets, but I want to bookmark it first .
Putting my finger on the trigger, I held my revolver—-
[Eh?] (Ryouta)
[It-It disappeared!] (Celeste)
Celeste and I were surprised at the same time .
When I was aiming at the monster, it suddenly disappeared .
[Low level, take a closer look . ] (Eve)
[… . It completely disappeared?] (Ryouta)
When being pointed out, I noticed that the monster had completely disappeared .
[Ah, a Dungeon Master is around . ] (Celeste)
[I see . It would be bad if we let a Dungeon Master go rampant, so let’s find it and kill it . ](Ryouta)
[Yeah . ] (Celeste)
[Can’t be helped . ] (Eve)
For the time being, it doesn’t seem to be on this floor, so we went back up one floor at a time .
[Eh?] (Ryouta)
I was surprised by the situation .
On the higher floors, the fish monsters were swimming normally as if nothing ever happened .
[There’s monsters? But isn’t there a Dungeon Master?] (Ryouta)
[Yeah… That’s supposed to be it . ] (Celeste)
It’s surprising that the dungeon doesn’t adhere to normal dungeons .
[Let’s try going back down . ] (Ryouta)
[Yeah . ] (Celeste)
Celeste nodded, and Eve was silent .
We went back down again .
Again there were no monsters . Only the Dungeon Snow was falling .
[What’s going on?] (Ryouta)
[Rabbit will ask the town’s people . ] (Eve)
Eve said and turned around, walking up the stairs .
Then after around 10 minutes, Eve returned .
[So how was it?] (Ryouta)
[No one knows, this has never happened before . ] (Eve)
[Such a strange phenomenon . It only happened when Ryoutsan held his gun . ] (Celeste)
[Aah, you’re right . ] (Ryouta)
[It’s as though they do not want Ryoutsan to defeat them . ] (Celeste)
[… . They do not want me to beat them? Here?] (Ryouta)
[Yeah… . Aah . ] (Celeste)
Celeste noticed something .
There is another reason why the other floors are alright but not the final floor .
Spirit .
The road leading to the spirit’s room is a major premise .
With me having Drop S, it is much easier to open the path down to the spirit’s room .
But still .
This world is inflexible .
If I have Drop S, then if there’s no monster, I can’t see the spirit .
And, the person who is controlling this is .
[The spirit here, Plumb.u.m . It doesn’t want to meet with me?] (Ryouta)
[That might be the case . Similar to what Aurum has done in the past, she could control the monster and drops in the dungeon . So it’s normal for this spirit to stop monsters from sp.a.w.ning . ] (Celeste)
[If monster is set up, low level may inadvertently break through . ] (Eve)
[So set it so that monsters will never sp.a.w.n here forever?] (Ryouta)
The more we brainstorm, the more we were convinced .
[But what should we do? I’m happy that it is being wary of Ryoutsan, but we can’t do anything without monsters . ] (Celeste)
[Nah, I don’t think there’s any problem . ] (Ryouta)
[Huh?] (Celeste)
[Eve . ] (Ryouta)
[Low level sure loves using people . ] (Eve)
Even then turned up again and climbed the stairs .
[What does that mean Ryoutsan?] (Celeste)
[Bad potatoes . ] (Ryouta)
[Bad potatoes… . Aah, bring a drop from this floor and leave it there . ] (Celeste)
[Yes . We can hatch a monster using this floor’s own drop . ] (Ryouta)
[I see, but I wonder if that would go well . It might take some time to do that, so isn’t it necessary to do it on the spot?] (Celeste)
[… . . It’s alright . ] (Ryouta)
I felt like I could do it .
This Dungeon Spirit who is avoiding me .
I’m sure—–
[Done . ] (Eve)
Eve came back with a bottle of white liquid .
[Is this the drop of this floor?] (Ryouta)
[Yes, goat milk . There were only two left . ] (Eve)
[Only 2? I see, there aren’t many people in Tetramine, so production for this is hard to come by… Are you sure it’s going to be alright Ryoutsan?] (Celeste)
[Yeah, I’ll use it wisely—— And I think it’s enough to use only one . ] (Ryouta)
I took the goat milk, placed it on the ground, and we walked to a distance .
After awhile, the dog like fish with limbs was hatched .
I held my revolver, fired the Homing Bullet and defeated the fish .
Then, the way is shown .
[I’m sure the Dungeon Spirit erased all the monsters is because it’s afraid that this would open immediately . ] (Ryouta)
[I see now! Amazing, Ryoutsan!] (Celeste)
[Well then, shall we?] (Ryouta)
Let’s head to the spirit who is trying to avoid me .
If nothing goes wrong, it would be a cinch, but since we’re here, let’s at least go in once .
