Carbon first floor.
There was a transportation gate there where we gathered.
After confirming that, I headed to Celeste.
“Thank you” (Ryouta)
I said.
I asked Celeste to help me get to the first floor from the mansion.
After demonstrating to everyone that we’re going to enter Carbon, we returned to the mansion again to use the transportation gate.
“You asked to secure an exit for you, so what are you going to do now?” (Celeste)
“Let’s see….” (Ryouta)
I look at the gate and Celeste and look at the normal exit on her back.
“I thought the exit might disappear if we all went in, but that wasn’t the case.” (Ryouta)
“Yeah” (Celeste)
“But it happened twice. As long as it is reproducible, we have to investigate this issue as soon as possible. Celeste, when the entrance was closed, did you travel between floors?” (Ryouta)
“I did, I was on the third floor at that time.” (Celeste)
“Well then, we’ll leave the gate as is while we explore the dungeon?” (Ryouta)
“Alright.” (Celeste)
“Is everyone okay with it?” (Routa)
“We’re fine nanodesu!” (Emily)
“I intended to do that from the beginning.” (Alice)
“Reward is paid in advance. Bunny is a woman of law.” (Eve)
All the friends who followed me nodded.
I decided to go around the first floor with 5 people plus Vanadium.
The monsters and drops on the first floor are already known, but what I want to investigate now is the phenomenon of the entrance disappearance, so I decided to investigate here as well.
We encountered monsters one after another.
Most of the monsters were masquerading as Emily.
“It’s me again desu.” (Emily)
“I think Emily is trusted by everyone.” (Ryouta)
“Is that the case nanodesu?” (Emily)
“Maybe. Trust and dearness need to be examined in detail, but I think that they transform to the other person based on a positive vector.” (Ryouta)
“In addition, it’s probably not strength either.” (Celeste)
I nod to Celeste’s words.
“True, if not it’ll turn into me.” (Ryouta)
“That’s right nanodesu~” (Emily)
“Well, you don’t have to think deeply about this. We can just ask an adventurer who has entered later and investigate, who they were thinking, etc., we’ll find out naturally.” (Celeste)
“Yeah, what matters is the entrance. Alice?” (Ryouta)
“It’s still open” (Alice)
Alice who answered immediately, the fellow monster who is always on her shoulder is gone.
Skeleton———-Boney-chan.
Boney-chan remains at the entrance and is monitoring.
Because something like telepathy could be used for fellow monsters between Alice, the arrow of white feathers struck.
We confirmed that the entrance was open and proceeded with further exploration.
Monsters appeared one after another, but I didn’t get to fight
Emily, Celeste, Alice.
Almost all three of them have defeated it.
At first it was vague, but gradually I noticed.
The three of them were not solo players, but fight as a party.
Emily and Celeste were prominent.
One is a super power fighter who spins a huge hammer larger than their physique, and the other is an attack type witch who fires huge attacks while being conscious of taking a distance anyway.
Both are attack types.
Therefore, the usual way of fighting is to move while eliminating such weaknesses.
But now it’s different.
Their weaknesses are left exposed.
Though their weaknesses aren’t apparent, they naturally follow the other party, and I also casually follow the other party’s weaknesses.
It was refreshing because this was the first time for the three of us to move like this.
“Did you practice this before?” (Ryouta)
“No.” (Eve)
“No?” (Ryouta)
I turned my attention to Eve who quietly denied it.
She is now looking at a rabbit made of green apples in her hands and smiling.
By the way, the drop and production are from Emily, and it’s a gem if you don’t eat it early.
“It’s still awkward” (Eve)
“Well that’s a given.” (Ryouta)
“They’re just doing what they usually think, and can match it because that’s what they normally do, but it’s awkward because it’s their first time.” (Eve)
“So that’s it” (Ryouta)
“It’s a dungeon match” (Eve)
“Hmm?” (Ryouta)
A word I think I heard before.
“Everyone wants to go around with low level. Many of them have solo in mind.” (Eve)
“… That’s why they usually thought about their movement of the party.” (Ryouta)
Eve quietly nods.
I see the three of them still fighting…I see.
That’s right, this is also fun.
I look at Eve again.
“Thank you Eve, for telling me.” (Ryouta)
“Bunny is a woman of law” (Eve)
“Really now.” (Ryouta)
Although I took a step back, I’m probably still looking at everyone more than me.
The feeling of gratitude for such Eve came to me.
