The next day.
Waiting at the first floor of Plumb.u.m for a while, a gate opened.
Then, Eve appeared out from the gate, and stood in front of me.
[Sorry for the wait.] (Eve)
[Thanks.] (Ryouta)
[Be grateful by giving me carrots.] (Eve)
[Tonight I’ll serve you a mountain load of it.] (Ryouta)
[GJ.] (Eve)
Eve nodded satisfyingly, then held my hand and went inside the gate together.
Light enveloped around us, and we were back in our mansion.
With that, we are able to go to every floor in Plumb.u.m.
[Then.] (Eve)
Eve turned around and tried to leave.
[Where are you going Eve? Since you’re already here, I thought of introducing her to you.] (Ryouta)
[That dungeon, I don’t like it.] (Eve)
[Is that so?] (Ryouta)
[I was antic.i.p.ating for it, but there wasn’t any bunny milk.] (Eve)
[Huh?] (Ryouta)
After saying what she wanted to say, she walked away.
Bunny milk—— Is she saying a rabbit’s milk?
I don’t think they would—— Wait no.
[Rabbits are….. Mammals.] (Ryouta)
I feel bad that she was expecting something, but then again I’m happy that it didn’t exist.
I remember back when I was in elementary school, I was taking care of this rabbit in the hut as an animal committee.
The rabbit was also breastfeeding its child…..
[If there is a dropped item like that, I’ll be troubled.] (Ryouta)
Trying not to think about it, I used the Transportation Room.
Choosing Plumb.u.m’s room as the place to go to, I was transported there immediately.
Even though it takes a day to get there, it took just a second to reach.
[Morning.] (Ryouta)
[You really came…..] (Plumb.u.m)
[Well, I did promise.] (Ryouta)
[…… Umu.] (Plumb.u.m)
Plumb.u.m smiled as she seemed to be happy.
A smile does indeed suit her.
[H-Hey.] (Plumb.u.m)
[Hm?] (Ryouta)
[I-I….. I want to know more about you.] (Plumb.u.m)
[About me?] (Ryouta)
[That is right….. For example, how did you endure that much pressure when the turtle was there?] (Plumb.u.m)
[Aah, for that.] (Ryouta)
I took out an Absolute Rock which I always carry around with me.
[I used this. It’s called an Absolute Rock that is dropped from a monster. When used, it turns you invincible…… And greatly increases your defense.] (Ryouta)
[That’s why you were not crushed by the turtles?] (Plumb.u.m)
[Yeap.] (Ryouta)
[Wow…… That force is supposed to be able to kill a person….] (Plumb.u.m)
[It is doubling by the second.] (Ryouta)
[Speaking of which, what was that thing that you were firing?] (Plumb.u.m)
I’m starting to get used to her olden way of speaking to me.
It feels like n.o.bles from the 19th century speaking.
Anyways, I answered her question from the start.
Plumb.u.m seems to have a tremendous interest in me, and kept on firing away questions one after another.
[Fumu Fumu, this is my first time knowing about such things.] (Plumb.u.m)
While staring at me, she was answering with a serious expression, and astonished at times.
Since her response was positive, it was easy to talk to her.
[Well then, it’s time for me to go off now.] (Ryouta)
[W-Wait, already?] (Plumb.u.m)
[I’ll come again tomorrow. Don’t worry about it.] (Ryouta)
[I- I’m not worried or anything…..] (Plumb.u.m)
Plumb.u.m’s cheeks were dyed red as she looks away from me, but then she started looking back again.
[I know that you’re a man of your words.] (Plumb.u.m)
[Thanks for that compliment. See you tomorrow then.] (Ryouta)
[Umu, see you tomorrow.] (Plumb.u.m)
After saying our farewells, I took a strand a hair from her and left the dungeon.
The next day.
I took Plumb.u.m’s hair and went to the custom cart shop of Alton.
Then, I asked him to make a weapon out of it.
Since Alton is good at processing parts of monsters into tools, I wanted him to make me a weapon.
After listening to my request, he tested it by tying the hair into my normal bullet.
Then, he asked me to try using that first.
With that, I returned to the mansion, and transported to the first floor of Plumb.u.m.
Since it is a countermeasure against the splitting, I thought that I can sell them to adventurers in the future if it works.
All I need to do is search a merchant that is willing to do that.
[Aah! Ryoutsama!]
[Hm?] (Ryouta)
When I look back, it was the a.s.sociation Chief of Tetramine, Dale.
He was all sweaty as he rushed all the way here to meet me.
[What’s the matter?] (Ryouta)
[It’s out! A Dungeon Master is here!] (Dale)
[What!?] (Ryouta)
[It’s currently rampaging in the dungeon. If you attack it, it might split, so no one could defeat it.] (Dale)
[I got it. I’ll go now.] (Ryouta)
Thus I entered Plumb.u.m.
Maybe cause I didn’t notice it a while ago, but the aura of when a Dungeon Master is here was present, and I can’t seem to find any other monsters sp.a.w.ning.
I rushed down floor after floor, and finally reached the 15th floor when something occurred.
[…..Heh?] (Ryouta)
My voice leaked out.
If there was a mirror in front of me, I would’ve made a stupefied expression.
The Dungeon Master in front of me was a humanoid.
It was an adult male, wearing a jacket on a protector holding a two handed revolver.
It’s as if it were me…..
[But, I don’t have roses or glitter around me though…..] (Ryouta)
I mumurred weakly.
It’s similar to Alice using her summoning skill to call out a tiny version of me, but it’s slightly different in terms of the appearance.
Ryo-chan looks like a stuffed toy, but this…… this gives me a weird feeling when I look at it.
In a nutsh.e.l.l, it’s as if it’s the main character’s love interest out of a shoujo manga——or not.
It reminds me of the ideal male type of the heroine.
It was glittering, and had roses popping from it’s background.
What can I say, it’s a total opposite of me.
Well, can’t worry about that right now.
The Dungeon Master is holding the revolver and firing bullets at me.
A straight and obvious bullet.
I was kinda relieved.
Unlike Ryo-chan, the Dungeon Master doesn’t have the same strength and speed as me.
I think the status is around All A.
With that, it’s possible to defeat it.
First, I restrained the Dungeon Master, and fired the prototype bullet made from tying one strand of Plumb.u.m’s hair, and fired at its head.
[……Ugh.] (Ryouta)
It’s definitely not interesting to see a handsome man’s face from a shoujo manga having it’s face splattered from the bullet.
But, I was able to defeat it.
Then, a key was dropped from the Dungeon Master.
Picking it up, I put it into my pocket.
After confirming that the dungeon has returned to normal, I went out of the dungeon and reported to Dale.
[I’ve defeated it.] (Ryouta)
[Oooh! As expected of Ryoutsama. Defeating the Dungeon Master in an instant, thank you so much!] (Dale)
[Don’t mind it. Moreover, there’s something I would like to discuss with you.] (Ryouta)
I told Dale about the weapons.
If we can make Plumb.u.m weapons, then the monsters won’t split.
[What! Such an amazing weapon!] (Dale)
[I’ll bring a prototype tomorrow.] (Ryouta)
I did use a Plumb.u.m bullet awhile ago, but the real prototype should be able to be used by other adventurers.
[Then, I would like someone to distribute and manage these weapons.] (Ryouta)
Hearing that, Dale for some reason had an impressive reaction.
[Please leave that to me! I’ll take responsibility on that.] (Dale)
[Really?] (Ryouta)
[Yes! I’m happy that Ryoutsama can rely on me…. I’ll definitely do something about it.] (Dale)
[I got it. Then I’ll leave that to you.] (Ryouta)
That’s the end of that matter. So, should I go visit Plumb.u.m now?
Going to the first floor, I once returned back to the mansion, then transport to Plumb.u.m’s room using the gate again.
[Good morning, I’m here again.] (Ryouta)
I said, but there was no reaction.
When I look around, I saw Plumb.u.m was writing something seriously.
Wondering what she was writing, I slowly approached her and looked over her shoulder.
[Wooow!] (Ryouta)
This is the second time a strange voice came out from me.
Plumb.u.m was writing about… Me.
To be exact, it was that handsome guy from before.
She was seriously writing about it.
[This is not good….. The real person is so much more cooler….] (Plumb.u.m)
[I don’t think so though!?] (Ryouta)
[Hyaaa!?] (Plumb.u.m)
Retorting from behind, Plumb.u.m was surprised as she jumped forward.
Apparently, Plumb.u.m has an image (superbly handsome) of me, and has reshaped the Dungeon Master based on that.
