We returned to the mansion using the transfer gate that Celeste had once opened.
âThen Iâll leave it to you.â (Ryouta)
I told Celeste who has been to the 3rd floor of Carbon.
Because of Vanadium, it became a little roundabout way to avoid the second floor.
ââŠâ (Celeste)
âCeleste?â (Ryouta)
âI wonder if you can wait hereâ (Celeste)
âHmm? What do you mean?â (Ryouta)
âWeâll go and capture the third floor with everyone, then come back and take Ryouta to the fourth basement floor.â (Celeste)
âWhy do you think that? No matter how you think about it, after going from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor, youâll have to come back from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor which takes more time and effort.â (Ryouta)
âThatâs right butâŠâ (Celeste)
Celeste wanted to say something for some reason.
What exactly is that?
âAlright, letâs go.â (Celeste)
Celeste thought a little, then whispered a line, âYeah, if itâs thisâ, and then opened the gate of the transportation room.
What on earth is that?
The gate opened, and the three of us returned to the dungeon again.
Carbon dungeon, 3rd floor.
The appearance is exactly the same as the first floor and the second floor.
In the underground labyrinth where stones were piled up, the walls, ceiling, and floor were shining pale.
As soon as we were transferred, a monster appeared.
The monster tried to transform from Celeste.
âInferno Ultimate !!â
At the moment, the magical power swelled explosively from Celesteâs body, and the monster was burned out in an instant before it could even transform.
It was the highest firepower of all the magic of Celeste Iâve seen so farââ-it was a super serious attack.
âCeleste?â (Ryouta)
âWhat is it?â (Celeste)
âWouldnât it not drop anything?â (Ryouta)
âItâs okay. I didnât come to earn money today.â (Celeste)
âNo but still, weâre here to investigateâââ (Ryouta)
âInferno Ultimateâ (Celeste)
Celeste chanted magic again before I finished talking.
Something went up behind me.
When I turned around, the monster was on fire.
âPhew.â (Celeste)
â⊠Uhhh, could you explain this to me?â (Ryouta)
âAlright letâs go!â (Celeste)
It doesnât seem like sheâs going to explain it.
Celeste interrupted the story unilaterally and started walking quickly.
â⊠(Pull)â (Vanadium)
I was a little confused, but Vanadium pulled my sleeve.
âAre you not going?â was what I felt like I was told, I donât know why, but for the time being I decided to follow Celeste.
Celeste is hiding something.
Itâs definitely about the monsters hereâââor the drop items.
If not, there is no need to defeat it before dropping.
I was a little worried about which one it was.
While thinking about it we chased after Celeste.
Then, I heard the sound of heels ringing on the cobblestones.
The sound gradually approached here.
âThis voice is ⊠ohâ (Ryouta)
Celeste and us stopped.
Eve appeared from the corner.
Eve rushed in with tremendous momentum and stepped on the brake suddenly in front of us.
âSorry for making you wait. Whereâs the rest?â (Ryouta)
ââŠâ (Eve)
âEve?â (Ryouta)
Eve looked up at me silently.
For some reason, Eveâs face had a redness that was not normally seen.
âWhatâs wrongââOuch.â (Ryouta)
I was careless and ate it.
Eveâs chop, a hand sword called Excalibur.
It went into my forehead and it was quite painful.
âSassy despite low levelâ (Eve)
âWhat?â (Ryouta)
âSassyâ (Eve)
Repeating the same words twice, Eve ran away with even greater momentum to escape.
Just before running away, her face seemed to be getting redder âŠ
âI wonder what happened.â (Ryouta)
âI seeâ (Celeste)
âEh? Do you know the cause of it?â (Ryouta)
â⊠I havenât said anything.â (Celeste)
âNo, but âŠâ (Ryouta)
âŠâŠ Well, what?
If you donât say it, I wonât know what it is.
Celeste and Eve are a little different from usual.
Itâs probably because of this Carbon third floor.
Then, letâs get out of here and head to the 4th floor.
âLetâs join the restâ (Ryouta)
âYesâ (Celeste)
Celeste nods.
I start walking while holding hands with Vanadium.
After a while, we will meet with everyoneâ.
âEh?â (Ryouta)
I was puzzled.
The remaining two people, Emily and Alice, were blushing as soon as they saw my face.
âWelcome back nanodesu âŠâ (Emily)
âRyouta is slow âŠâ (Alice)
The twoâs faces were blushing and a moist tone compared to usual.
When I turned around, Celeste was in a similar situation.
And, for some reason, Neptune was grinning at a distance.
â„ âŠâŠ I thought it would be better not to dig further.
