In the morning, you get up and leave your room.

I stretched out, taking in the morning sunshine streaming in through the window, and walked by the salon.

In the salon, Celeste was leaning limply against the armrest of the sofa.

‘What’s going on, Celeste?’

‘Ah …… Lyota. It’s nothing, just a magic storm.

Yeah.

Magic Storm.

It’s a type of weather in this world, and when it’s out, people within the range will not be able to use magic at all.

Depending on the person, you can get sick during a magic storm. Celeste is exactly like that.

‘Are you okay?’

‘Yeah, it’s all right, it’s always the same and I’m not sick. It’s a bit longer this time, so that’s all the more depressing.

Have you been here long?

Yeah, the forecast says it’s supposed to last five days.

That’s a long time!

I was a bit surprised.

It’s probably the longest I’ve ever seen …… that it’s lasted five days.

‘It’s that kind of season, I can’t help it.’

It’s like the rainy season.

Is Ryota-san the one who’s doing all right?

Yeah?

‘Your face is so serious lately. I thought you were up to something important.

I touched my face in a sticky way.

I was certainly on the verge of meeting Nihonium, which is why I’ve been motivated lately.

Did they see through that?

‘I doubt it,’

Do you need help?

Celeste straightened up. A serious look.

I was grateful for that, and I was glad.

‘It’s okay, I’ll figure it out.’

…… Well, I’m sure Mr. Lyota can handle it.

Celeste leaned back against the armrest again.

I had to trust him.

To repay that trust, I decided to head back to Nifongnium today.

Stars

After breakfast, we went to Prunbhum’s place first and made a round of small talk.

The Ryo-sama she showed me had become even more powerful.

His face is getting more and more handsome, and the clothes he’s wearing are getting more and more sophisticated.

I thought that if we went to the missive together or something like that, I would be a complete loser.

With that in mind, I left Plumbum and came to Nihonium.

I took down the dragon zombies and went around.

Basically, I take them down with flameless bullets, but only when I’m on count 1, I use the Time Drop to take them down with a random shot.

From the middle of the game, I don’t use flameless bullets above the count of 3, and I use a combination of growth bullets and annihilation bullets to defeat them.

Then you’ll find a way to do it.

Hurry up and go around.

If you take the long way around on counts 3 and above, you might get some inspiration from it.

Just because it’s 3, it’s 2 flameless bullets – I’m not going to get sidetracked.

That’s how I beat them one by one, increasing my dexterity value with dexterity seeds.

I got a little throbbing headache in the middle.

I’m also a bit affected by the magic storm.

MP, intelligence, and spirit.

All of my statuses for using magic are SS, so my physical condition is affected, though not as much as Celeste’s during the magic storm.

Most importantly–

“Repetition.

I cast a spell, but it was unsuccessful.

Strongest Circumference Magic Repetition.

Even though it’s the strongest magic in circumference, it’s magic.

It’s completely useless on the day of the magic storm.

A count 1 dragon zombie appeared.

Spray it with drops of time and shoot it down.

I got a dexterous seed – and was relieved.

I’m really glad I didn’t lie down and incorporate the Repetition into my laps.

If I had, I would have been forced to put everything off due to the magical storm that lasted for five days.

“Let’s have one or two more options after all.

The pattern at 3.

Pattern at 4.

The pattern you used in 5.

Patterns that are few and far between, but I dared to use as many as 99.

I decided to try them all.

Crackle, I heard clapping.

I turned around, a little surprised, because hardly anyone came after the basement two floors of Nifonium.

He turned around and was followed by Neptune and his two girls, Lil and Ran, his companions.

‘Wow, you’re circling this place steadily. And in the middle of a magical storm.

What’s going on?I can’t believe you’re here.

‘Haha, I heard that someone completely completed the dungeon I retired from in the middle of.

Retirement ……?

You see, when Nihonium was born, we went in to check it out.

………… Oh.

It surfaced from the depths of my memory and clapped its hands with a snap.

It was over a year ago.

When me and Emily were still working hard on the first or second floor of the tellurian, and my ability was all F.

I’d heard rumors, come to think of it, that Nihonium had been ‘spawned’ and that the Neptune family had been investigated.

‘Oh, yeah, I forgot all about it.

To tell you the truth.

Yeah?

I used to retire from this place.

Retire?Come to think of it, you said something like that earlier.

‘I investigated all the upper floors, but I couldn’t investigate counts one and two on this floor. We couldn’t take them out in one hit no matter how hard we tried.

Really?

Yeah. Lil’ Lan.

“Okay, okay, I know what to do.

I’ll hold on.

The two girls began to follow him, behind him, cuddling up.

One of the dragon zombies went by.

The count was three.

Lil and Ran, they chanted as they sang.

“God Press!

“Devilkers!

Two spells, black and white, took hold of Neptune.

Two lights engulfed him, creating wings of white and black.

The count was reduced by two at once to one.

Neptune shook his fist carelessly.

A powerful blow, one that still had a lot of power left in it, blew the dragon zombie away.

”As you can see, this is my trump card, I can easily get to three, but I can’t beat one and two.

Oh, I see.

Neptune’s special move we’ve seen before.

There’s still plenty of room for pure firepower, but it’s too incompatible.

”But you’ve been an adventurer for a long time too, so you know what I mean. Even if you can’t confirm that you only beat him on this floor on count one.

Well, it doesn’t matter, does it?

When I replied, Neptune nodded clearly.

The rules are rather stubborn in this world.

Any event that doesn’t involve “Drop S” doesn’t create exceptions, to say the least 100%.

Even if Neptune had been investigating all the way from the first floor and only gave up and retired on counts 1 and 2 on this ninth floor, there’s nothing wrong with that.

The Dungeon Society – or was Clint the president at the time – would have been satisfied with an honest report.

‘That’s why I’m here, to see the faces of those who easily surpassed what I couldn’t surpass.

Okay.

You’re amazing. Hey, you wanna join me.

You’re not going to ask me out again. How many times have you done this?

Yeah, because I like you so much.

‘Come to think of it, you keep saying that too: …… bad.’

That’s too bad. Then–

Yeah?

I’d like to be in your group. You know, Cliff and Margaret, like that one.

What about ……?

The Lyota family owns the Neptune family. I don’t know.

Neptune’s eyes were very serious as he spoke so.

It was, but.

‘…… seriously?’

“Look, look.

The nod was light, but apparently serious, and the evidence of that was the buzzing of Lil and Ran behind him.

It’s a look that says, “Why would Neptune be under someone else’s thumb?

At least he seems to be serious – seriously?
