Eve was still in the salon, happily chewing on a carrot.
âIâm home.â (Ryouta)
âHmm.â (Eve)
As if she wasnât particularly interested, Eve didnât even look up and continued to bite into her carrot.
âIâve been to Californium. Sure enough, itâs impossible for me to clear.â (Ryouta)
âThatâs what Iâve said.â (Eve)
âHeavy damage negation, huh? If even normal bullets are negated, then thereâs nothing I can do about it. Well, the restraining bullets did work, so I can support you.â (Ryouta)
âThis is what you get for being cocky at a low level.â (Eve)
Eve looked up this time and looked a bit satisfied and good at it.
âJust so you know, getting rid of that thing isâ-â (Ryouta)
âNo.â (Eve)
âRight.â (Ryouta)
I knew what to expect, so I didnât argue.
Instead, I said.
âIâm going to ask you to do something else.â (Ryouta)
âSomething else?â (Eve)
âDouble the amount of carrots you eat every day.â (Ryouta)
âWhatever you doâ you canât stop me.â (Eve)
âI told you it was something else. Well, why donât you ask him and then you can decide.â (Ryouta)
ââŠ.Say it.â (Eve)
âHeavy damage, even to monstersââoh, I mean monsters attacking adventurers. Can you disable the heavy damage on that one too?â (Ryouta)
ââŠâŠ Why?â (Eve)
âYou can say this to Californium. âFrom now on, weaker adventurers will be coming. If you donât do this, youâll be defeated in an instant, and gradually no adventurers will come at all.â (Ryouta)
âMmm. âŠâŠâ (Eve)
Eveâs expression changed.
The change showed that her thinking was linked to Californium at a significant level.
So I continue further.
âBesides, youâll be able to torment the weak for a lot longer and prickly with the heavy damage negation.â (Ryouta)
âI see.â (Eve)
Eve gave a small nod.
Then she looked up, staring at me.
âWhat are the advantages of a low level?â (Eve)
âAdvantages, I mean, grind as much as possible. If we donât, the weaker adventurers will just be defeated in an instant, and weâll effectively die in a dungeon.â (Ryouta)
âI see.â (Eve)
Eve nods deeply this time.
Well, I didnât dare to say that itâs just a little form âŠâŠ change because you can have a high level come and concentrate on restraining you so that my restraining bullets are still alive.
âCarrot double?â (Eve)
âDouble the carrots.â (Ryouta)
âOkay, Iâll tell him.â (Eve)
Eve gulped down the remaining carrot in one gulp, got up and walked out of the salon.
Sheâs going to Californium, I guess, so I just saw her off.
And I was right.
From the next day onwards, Californium was invulnerable to heavy damage, friend or foe.
â
Cell and I watched from a distance as the brawl unfolded in Californium.
The adventurers are all level 1s who were called in on short notice.
The monsters were special gold-dropping monsters that had been summoned with tickets.
The battle was a pitched battle, thatâs the only way to describe it.
The attacks of the first level adventurers were weak, and often unsuccessful due to their lack of experience.
They are often too slow to attack in the first place.
They are not the type of adventurers who should be in dungeons.
If youâre in a dungeon, youâre going to be in trouble with the other adventurers.
But in this case, there was no problem.
Because the monsterâs attacks had no effect at all.
No major damage.
The setting, which would have allowed the original goblin attack to just barely pass through, nullified all of the summoned monsterâs attacks.
One is called one damage each, the other is called completely disabled.
It was a sight to behold, a battle scene that made you itch to get your hands on it.
âAs expected of Satou-sama.â (Cell)
âNo, it was just a coincidence.â (Ryouta)
âDonât be modest. The story goes that it was largely due to Satou-samaâs quick thinking that we got off on the right foot.â (Cell)
âWell, I guess so.â (Ryouta)
It may well be so.
âThis is the ultimate form.â (Cell)
âUltimate?â (Ryouta)
âThe most important thing for an adventurer is stability.â (Cell)
âYeah, I guess.â (Ryouta)
âIn this situation, thereâs not a million accidents in the production of money. Itâs the same even if the dungeon master is out. Itâll take time, but weâll be able to throw in a lot of Level 1s and push through with numbers.â (Cell)
âRight.â (Ryouta)
âMost definitely, thatâs the ideal way to go.â (Cell)
