When morning came, Iām currently heading to Nihonium Dungeon.
After waking up in the morning, I have a faint gleeful smile on my faceā¦..For some reason I was reminiscing about my past.
Previously, itās more of the moment before my memory was interrupted.
At that time, many days ago, my health wasnāt in good shape. As time goes by, I felt more and more dizzy, by the time I realized what has happened to my body, it was already too late. Although, I still consume energy drink and continued working.
On that morning, I was also working like mad, I was working so late till the point of overworking and I genuinely did not realize that, but I continued working because I still have lots of work to do till the last train has long pass. Suddenly, my eyes went blurry and became full white and I felt light headed and knocked out on my deskā.
āThe next moment the slime has drop something!
Somehow, looking back at it, it must be confusing as to what Iām saying right now. Iām so confused that I thought [Am I still in that dream?].
As I think about it I gradually get further away from the answer, thus I decided not to think about it completely.
As all these was happening, I was inside Nihonium Dungeon.
Somehow in front of my eyes, I was checking my status on the Know-It-All Board.

Level: 1/1

āāāāāāāāā
Even though my level is still the same at 1, but because of the seeds Iād hunted my power is gradually increasing.
As I went in, I pumped myself by saying āIāll do my best again-ā.Afterwards I went into the limestone cave-like dungeonās second floor.
I immediately encountered a Zombie.
The zombie was as per usual, It groaned while charging towards me.
From yesterdayās GorillaāI took out the item that was being dropped by that rogue monster where this worldās people have said that [They donāt drop stuff].
Pan!
An explosion sound could be heard from my ears, and a whiff of gunpowder smoke can be smelled, my hands were also shaking for a while and soon became slightly numb.
At that momentāThe zombieās head was blown to smithereens.
The item that I was holding on my right hand, is an Automatic Gun which doesnāt belong in this world.Ā (TLN: Automatic gun as in a handgun)
The Gorilla from before was the one who dropped the gun and a huge chunk of ammo for it.
Today, while hunting for the seeds, I went and test it out.
With one shot to the head, the zombieās head splattered and died on the spot, leaving a seed on that ground.
When I pick up the seed, my strength was up by 1, and I continued searching for more zombies.
Then, I saw a zombie in a distance. Itās around 20 meters away from me.
I positioned the gun and fired itā¦.I missed and instead grazed itās shoulder. (TLN:Ā I found this relevantĀ XD)
I shot the zombie a second time, this time I confirmed a headshot on itās head after aiming at it.
With this Iāve already killed 2 zombies, if I get used to it I might be able to hunt even faster than before.
As for the seedsāā.
[Roar!]
As I was heading my way towards picking up the seeds, suddenly the wall beside me collapsed, in it appeared a zombie.
The zombie who suddenly pulled a surprise attack on me, I tried to open my mouth to say something but bit it instead.
[āāYou!]
While trying to forcefully get it away from me, I kicked on itās abdomen.
The zombieās body got bend into a ā<ā shape, and flew as if being hit by a truck.
Even after kicking it itās not dead yet!? I then hold the gun at onceāā
[Ughā, Ooo-ā¦.]
[From behind too! Damn it!]
I was surrounded by a different zombie from behind and it push me down to the ground against my will.
I positioned my gun, this time I pulled the trigger.
Pan! Pan!
I shot the zombie who was on my foot and the one who was kicked away by me, both shots flew into itās head.
I panicked for a moment, but managed to handle it.
I picked up the 2 seeds, and my strength was increased by two, afterwards I continued walking around the dungeon.
While trying to get a hang of using the gun, on this past few days I tried to combine it while fighting the zombies which then letās my body get used to the feeling of it.
Before afternoon arrives, I managed to up my strength to B.
ā
In order to join with Emily, I decided to leave Nihonium and head to Teruru.
Because of the convenience of the gun, Iāve gotten much more powerful.
At first I donāt know if this would be effective on this worldās monster and was worried about it, but with the speed of these lead bullets while using the gun, it might be plenty effective against them.
The dungeon monsters are certainly tough to hunt, especially ever since my bamboo spear was broken in half, I was wondering what I should do about it, but now with this I wonāt have to worry about it anymore.
Though the problem is getting bullets.
Yesterday, the Gorilla that dropped the gun together with its ammunition was totalled up to be around 200 rounds.
If I was living a normal life, this amount would be a lot to me, but honestly speaking, Iāve already fired 50 shots just this morning.
If this goes on I wonāt have enough, I need to find a way to replenish it.
[ā¦ā¦As I thought, it must be the rogue monster.] Somehow I thought so.
Whatās more, I seem to have understand the rule to this system.
Everyone have said that no drop could be obtained from Nihonium but I got it to drop seeds, the rogue monster which everyone avoid fighting it because it does not drop anything too has dropped a gun and bullets from my world.
Both of them had the same keywords, which is [No drops].
The rogue monsterā¦ā¦They are monsters who leave their dungeon and attack the city.
Itās safer that they donāt come out of the dungeon butā¦..Iām expecting it to happen again, because of this.
ā
Teruruās second floor, we are currently waiting for someone.
[Sheās not coming nodesu.]
[Aināt coming huh.]
While teaming up with Emily, we are currently fighting against the Drowsy Slime, while getting the dropped carrots.
We wanted to give those drops to Eve, but the person isnāt here today.
Weāve waited for a long time but sheās not here yet, Emily had a worried expression.
[Did something happen to her?]
[The person might have something to do, coming here everyday is also pushing the limit.]
[Yes desu~]
[Letās take the carrots and bring it to her, perhaps when we returned home and open the door, thereās a possibility that she might be in thereā¦..Or not.]
After saying so, I imagined about it and became uneasy.
After heading home, the carrot loving Eve might just break into our home and wait thereā¦..
For some reason, I can picture it becoming a reality, Iām really afraid that it might happen.
While preparing my heart for it, I put the carrots inside my backpack.
[Well then, letās go down another floor today.]
[Are we going nodesu?]
[Ah, since I gain a new weapon, and whatās more my strength has increased from C to B. Our combat power has also increased, so I thought why not letās try tackling it today.]
[Yes desu~]
While speaking happily, Emily followed me together.
Even though Emily is small but is carrying a huge hammer, and sheās a Power Type where she canāt lose to a Gorilla, but when she isnāt fighting, it feels as though she is a little bit of an airhead/pure.
Just being together with her calms people down, thatās how I feel about her characteristics.
With that person, we venture down to floor 3.
[Emily, have you ever come down here before?]
[Nope desu. I only know the names of the monster and what it drops.]
[Heh, so what is it?]
[The monster is called Kokuro Slime, the drop is a pumpkin nanodesu.]
A slime againā¦ā¦Wait what does she mean by Kokuro?Ā (TLN: The word Kokuro might either be saying itās a black slime OR itās a insect like slime which is similar to a beetle?Ā NSFW)
I kinda understand why itās pumpkin. Be it the bean sprouts or the carrots, it seems that this normal dungeon will certainly drop these vegetables.
This worldās everything is produce from the dungeon, and the dungeon that produce these things seem to be normal.
As I was thinking that a Gorilla in a dungeon, when defeated drops a head size tuna, itās drop is kind of normal isnāt it.
Thus I concluded that the pumpkin that is the drop on this floor is also normal.
If itās a normal pumpkin thenā¦..
I accidentally glanced at Emily.
The ever smiling small size girl, who made the house warm, also the girl who makes dishes which warms the soul and the heart.
Un, if itās her she can do it.
Iām sort of anticipating it.
While walking around for a while, we met a Kokuro Slime.
ā¦..The shape is certainly a slime. Though the only difference is itās size is super small, the body is glowing in blacklights.
Whatās more, the movement of this slime is different from the first two-floor where they would bounce around, but instead itās on the ground crawlingā- While making a rustling sound as itās moving.
āBishi!
The atmosphere around us stiffens.
When looking at my side, Emily is looking at the black light that is emitting from the slime.
Her expression isā-Smiling, it remained intact.
But, somethingās off.
[Emily-ā¦?]
[Yoda-san.]
[Y,yes!]
[Letās kill it desu~]
[Youāre kinda freaking me out Emily-san!!!]
While maintaining that smiling expression, Emily took out her hammer.
With her usual small body with that huge hammer combo, but this time itās somewhat scary.
Itās sending chills down my spine.
Emily then hold the hammer and charged forward!
This is a first! This is the first time Iāve seen Emily-san charging first towards a slime!
Guriguriguri.
While Emily was swinging her hammer down, the ground was shaking.
[Eh, Emily-, I wonder if itās necessary to do such thingsā¦]
[What are you saying Yoda-san~]
Emily turned and face me, while having a delightful expression.
[If we donāt do this much, more tragedy might occur~]
[Ha, hahi]
My voice was turned inside out.
This is weird, even though Emily is showing a gentle expression but for some reason it seems to be scary, I can even see something like a scene of carnage from behind her? (TLN: Author maybe wanted to conveyĀ this?}
This floor is bad, we have to go back up.
As I was thinking so the place I was standing, the hammer that was swung down to the ground, there was a rustling sound under it.
TheĀ Kokuro Slime slipped off.
[It slipped off nodesuā¦..]
[Thatās enough Emily, letās head backā¦]
[Yoda-san.]
[Wh, what is it?]
[Even if you were to hate me, please donāt hate the drop.]
[I donāt hate you so, before I start to hate it please stop!]
[Haaa!]
With even more spirit, she swung the hammer down.
To be exact she swung it down onto theĀ Kokuro Slime, and the dungeon shook once more.
Pon!
The hammer jumped up, from the place where there was a slime that was the size of a black array, a basketball size pumpkin appeared before it.
And Emilyās mood has returned.
I was glad that before anything worse can happen she defeated it.
[Emily, letās go back up. I feel like hunting carrots today.]
[Yes desu~]
Emily letās go of the hammer, and went to pick up the pumpkin.
Afterwards, we immediately hurried back to the stairs where we came from.
But why, why did that small slime drop such big pumpkin?
At that moment when itās dropping the item, it looks as if a popcorn was being burst.
Since it did not drop a black array, it was kind of funny looking at that.
What did I bring upon myself.
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle, rustleā
The moment when we come back to the stairs leading to the upper floor, a massive amount ofĀ Kokuro Slime has appeared.
After counting it, it seems thereās around 30 of them.
Such a sight is in front of us.
[Yoda-san.]
[Eh?]
[I, I might not be able to return to the people anymore.]
[Wait a minute, donāt be rash! Leave it to me! Please leave this to me!]
To Emily whose mood has changed again, I forcibly said so.
I wonāt let her do that!
Absolutelyā-NOT!
I positioned my gun, and aimed at the slimes.
Pan! Pan! Pan!
At that moment, Iāve gotten even more concentrated than ever before.
Pan! Pan! Pan!
I rapidly fired my gun, whatās more with my sharp and focused concentration, one shot one kill, with the quickest way of slaughtering the slimes.
I was completely mad, while shooting at the middle of all of the slimes.
[Phewā¦ā¦]
I stroked my chest, and I felt that Emily from behind me has also returned to her usual mood again.
And, immediately afterwards.
Pon, pon, pon, pon ,pon ,pon ,pon ,ponā.
Many pumpkin was dropped from the slimes. The scene is like watching a bunch of popcorn bursting one after the another.
Whatās moreā-since cause my Drop rate is S, the size was bigger than Emilyās, a size of a balance ball pumpkin was appearing at one shot. (TLN: Balance ball as inĀ exercise ball.)
The burst pumpkins (popcorn) were, in an instant the roadā-the only road to go back up was blocked completely.
Despite killing all the slimes in an instance, the irony was that in return theĀ Kokuro slime has confined us on the third floor.
During that time, while imitating someone who loves carrots, I chop the mountain of pumpkins in half before finding Eve, and also desperately tried to sooth Emily down.
Teruruās third floor, I swore to myself to never ever bring Emily down here again.
