I have a good grasp of the dungeon and structure that I have been going to for a long time.
It was the deepest dead end on the floor, there were no monsters, and I came to a place where no one would normally come.
On the way, I caught a Drowsy Slime with a Restraint bullet and caught it.
âThen Alice, Iâll leave it to you.â (Ryouta)
âYeah, you can count on me.â (Alice)
She puts the Drowsy slime all the way towards the dead end and leaves.
âBoney-chan, Slimey-san.â (Alice)
Alice calls their names and points to the slime.
Immediately after, two monsters popped out of her shoulder.
The two cute bodies went to the Drowsy Slime and beat them.
In a blink of an eye, the Drowsy slime was knocked down and a decent carrot was dropped.
With the carrots on the spot, Boney-chan and Slimey-san came back.
I stared at the carrot.
From the carrot to my distance, it seems to decrease to 99%, 98%, 97% âŠâŠ.
After some time it became 0% and the Drowsy slime hatched from the carrot.
âAliceâ (Ryouta)
âYeah! Both of you come out again!â (Alice)
At the command of Alice, Boney-chan and Slimey-san came out and attack the slime again.
There was no restraint bullet this time, but it was still easily beaten.
Then, the carrot dropped again.
âPick it up and come backâ (Ryouta)
Alice asked them to come back with the carrots.
Alice received it and showed it to me.
âHow does it look?â (Alice)
âOh, 90%. It wonât go any further.â (Ryouta)
âI see~ Eve-chan, whatâs the taste like?â (Alice)
Alice gives the carrot to Eve who was waiting for some time.
Eve grabbed and screamed, âItâs mine!â but we werenâtâ even gonna take it to begin with.
âA little deliciousâ (Eve)
âI see.â (Ryouta)
âWell, at least we know about something.â (Alice)
Alice shrugged her shoulders a little while smiling.
There is a reason why I came here to test the drop item reincarnation and asked Alice and Eve for help.
Alice has a special ability obtained from being born in a dungeon, and unlike the actual status, you can see the âtiming of dropâ, so the quality is reasonable, but the drop rate is almost always 100%.
100% is easy to test, and it is easy to see if the quality has improved moderately.
So I asked Eve, a carrot sommelier, who never compromised on carrots to see if the quality improved.
If this was me, I donât think I can tell the difference.
I remember the New Year specials I watched every year until I came here.
There is one thing Iâve been thinking about after seeing that.
You can clearly see the difference between 498 yen and 5000 yen wine, but I think there is not much difference between 50,000 yen and 100,000 yen.
In that sense, I asked Alice who has a 100% droprate.
âLetâs test some more.â (Ryouta)
âYup!â (Alice)
We catch another Drowsy slime and lock it in a dead end.
Defeat, hatch, defeatâââârinse and repeat.
That made it clear.
In the same way that the aged meat of quintuplets that I saw in the city is 50%, the maximum value of the degree of rogue monster (tentatively named because it is a number that only I can see) decreases by 10% every time a carrot reincarnates once.
At the fourth reincarnation, Alice screamed when she saw the Drowsy slime that had hatched.
âAh!!â (Alice)
âWhat happened?â (Ryouta)
âItâs no good, I canât catch the moment when it drops.â (Alice)
â⊠Did the slot rotation exceed its limit?â (Ryouta)
I had been thinking about it since I first heard about it.
Aliceâs ability is like pushing a slot machine.
Aliceâs ability is barely 4 times, so itâs no wonder that the frequency of 5-turn aged meat is âabout once a yearâ.
It may be as low a probability as an ordinary adventurer would meet a spirit.
âItâs okay, I expected it. Iâll take over the rest.â (Ryouta)
âSorryâ (Alice)
âItâs good.â (Ryouta)
âOh by the way, theyâre getting stronger little by little.â (Alice)
âIs that so.â (Ryouta)
I pull out my revolver and shoot the slime with a normal bullet.
I see, itâs noticeable when you fight them.
Their reaction when pointing at them is a little faster than the normal Drowsy slime.
Still, after all, it was a Drowsy slime, and I immediately corrected it and shot it through.
The carrot dropped; the 5th rotation.
âOh, as expected of Ryouta.â (Alice)
âI will continueâ (Ryouta)
After declaring, I reincarnate carrots repeatedly.
5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times.
With Drop S, so to speak, everything was a hit when spinning the slot machine, so I made nine-turn raw carrots without difficulty.
The degree of rogue monster was 10% as expected, and since I defeated it at a long distance, it started to decrease immediately, so I hurriedly approached and picked it up.
â10% again ⊠what if I try it one more time?â (Ryouta)
âLetâs tryâ (Alice)
We nodded, returned the carrots to their original place, and waited for it to become a rogue monster.
The 9th reincarnated carrot with 10% rogue monster degree, immediately hatched.
I shot it and it droppedââat that moment.
After seeing the carrot for a moment, it immediately hatched and turned into a Drowsy Slime.
âIs it at 0%?â (Ryouta)
âItâs 0%â (Alice)
Alice and I saw it nodded.
This is also one of the expected patterns.
Thatâs why Alice and I nodded at the same time.
âCarrotâŠâŠâ (Eve)
Eve made a slightly sad face.
What I saw for a moment was a phantom 10th reincarnated carrot.
I hold the revolver again and take out the pouch.
This pouch has the ability to suck items into this pouch the moment it is dropped.
I used it and shot through the Drowsy slime.
After the slime was knocked down and the carrot was seen for a moment, the pouch swelled.
There was a carrot.
When I took it out.
âHow is it?â (Alice)
â0% ââAh wait, itâs at a 1%â (Ryouta)
The carrots that went through the 11th run, which was 0% at the moment of taking out, was 0% at first but became 1% when holding it.
However, it does not increase beyond 1%.
âItâs staying at 1.â (Ryouta)
âThatâs the limit.â (Alice)
âYeah.â (Ryouta)
âLow level, carrot for bunny.â (Eve)
âRight, here you go.â (Ryouta)
I present the carrot.
I made sure that Eve received it before letting go so as not to create a period of not touching it even for a moment.
Eve bites the carrot immediately.
âWow! Whatâs wrong with Eve-chan, sheâs crying so much with a straight face.â (Alice)
â⊠Low levelâ (Eve)
âYup?â (Ryouta)
âBunny became low levelâs childâ (Eve)
âIs it that delicious?â (Ryouta)
âYou can do whatever you want with bunny, so give more carrotsâ (Eve)
âItâs really that delicious.â (Alice)
âIt looks like it.â (Ryouta)
Well, this is about to be expected.
Approximate specifications of rogue monster degree.
While thinking that this could be used for something, I refill the normal bullets that I just shot.
âHmmâ (Ryouta)
âWhat is it?â (Alice)
âNo, this bullet isnât that great, but only some are at 90%.â (Ryouta)
âHeh ⊠ah, Ryouta did return the bullet to a slime and make it another bullet.â (Alice)
âAh, there is that.â (Ryouta)
Iâve certainly done that before.
In the very early days.
Since then, there is no need for it, so I havenât done it at all, but itâs probably a remnant of that time.
Well, what if I did that now?
âWill this bullet improve?â (Ryouta)
âYou can tell by shooting?â (Alice)
âThatâs trueâ (Ryouta)
I held both the revolver and loaded both with normal bullets.
One is a normal bullet with 100% rogue monster degree, and the other is a 90% normal bullet.
I shoot the two at the same time toward the wall.
âOh, ones a little bit stronger.â (Ryouta)
âItâs really subtleâ (Alice)
âThis is ⊠not enough to bother. Itâs a consumable item, and considering the time and effort.â (Ryouta)
âOh, butâŠâ (Alice)
Alice remembered something and asked me.
âOhâ (Ryouta)
Aliceâs proposal was very attractive.
â
At night salon, in front of everyone.
Celeste used two bicorn horns at the same time to shoot a ball of fire.
One launched the usual flame ballââ the other flame ball launched a little later and was so big that it swallowed the first flame ball.
The gallery were subtly impressed with the cute Celeste mumurring, âOhâ.
âWow, thatâs amazing. Ryouta-san, this is amazing!â (Celeste)
Celeste was surprised at the bicorn horn I gave her after the 9th reincarnation.
Consumable bullets are meaningless considering the time and effort, but the bicorn horn is different.
Using Aliceâs suggestion to make a 9th reincarnationââNo.
The Bicorn Horn +9 and the name that came to mind made Celeste even stronger.
