Encounter with the monster on the fourth basement floor.

A self-destructive little devil, that’s one of them.

‘Please, BonBon.’

As soon as they encircled, Alice sent her friends off in the palm of her hand.

The same self-destructing little demon returned to its original size from the plush toy, but this one was the same size, but deformed here and there, with a cuter shape.

The other little devil swings his hand down, glowing and unsuccessful. He swings down again, turns black and duds.

I did a completely familiar routine action, but Alice’s companion – Bonbon – flew in a straight line and immediately banged away.

A magic circle spread out at his feet, and light leaked out from deep inside Bonbon’s body.

Immediately after, it explodes.

A huge explosion of power that is comparable to the original.

After the blast subsided, nothing was left there.

‘Wow, that’s great Bonbon!’

It’s not like they’re going to blow themselves up or anything.

Before I knew it, I was back on Alice’s shoulder, mumbling at the sight of a plush-sized, frolicking bonbon.

Alice casually sent it off, so I had an idea, but it seems that this one’s self-destruct is not going to disappear when it does.

It goes from SD to original size, and then back to SD when it self-destructs.

That’s how it works.

“How many times can this self-destruct be used now?

Yeah, that’s what he says.

No restrictions?

‘I said no. Oh, once you return to your original form, you can’t come back for a while, so the limitation is that you can’t use it immediately in succession?

I see.

You mean you can’t go on a suicide bombing spree.

‘So, I heard earlier that you’re going to involve Honehonen and Pru-Pru, is that what you’re saying?

Is that what you’re saying?

See, earlier when there were three of them, only one of them sent out a magic circle and the other two exploded with that magic circle, right?

Oh, yeah?

Alice smiles as if to say, “That looks interesting.

I mean, I guess I didn’t see that one.

It’s in the middle of a routine, but the sight of the magic circle-induced explosion was only a split second. Probably not even a hundredth of a second in time.

Alice didn’t see that.

‘But it sounds like that’s what it is. I’ll take a look.

I nodded and followed Alice as she walked ahead of me.

A few moments later, I encircled the little demon again.

”Ah, a bit early. Hone hone, pull, stop that girl’s movement first.

Following Alice’s command, Honehone reverted back to his original form as a skeleton and Purpuru reverted to his original form as a slime and went at the enemy little demon.

The other side swung his hand down, but Honehone stopped him, tsking his arm, and Pull Pull showed his softness and clawed at his face.

It’s like a slime head in the body of a little devil.

The phrase “threatening slime humans” came to mind.

‘Three, two, one…… go and bong!

Alice counts down and sends Bonbon out again.

Bonbon dives in and bans and sends out a magic circle.

Immediately after, a flash of light and an explosion dominates the area.

”Kyah!”

Oops.

A blast three times as large as I had expected to some extent. I grabbed Alice’s hand as she nearly lost her balance.

I pulled back quickly and hid it behind my own back.

The blast is only a blast. The hem of my clothes and pants flap around, but it does no damage to me.

Eventually, the blast subsided completely.

‘Thanks Lyota.

Yeah.

Good night, guys.

On Alice’s shoulder, the three monsters that had come back before she knew it were dancing.

Three SD-sized bodies, their joyful appearance was strangely cute.

Both Honehone and Pru-Pru, who had been frightened earlier, were expressing their joy with their body language.

‘I see, the explosion depends on the monsters inside the magic circle, right?

‘What?Yes.

‘There were three different explosions now. The bonbon is a normal explosion I’ve seen many times. The pulls were bursts of blue-white light, which looked like ice or water attributes. Hone Hone is a pitch black …… explosion, or rather it was sucked in and swallowed up. It’s a black hole chick, so is it a dark attribute or something?

I pick my jaw and analyze each of the three bodies that were visible in the moment of the explosion.

It was only a moment, and it was a mess, so I’m not sure, but maybe I’m not that wrong.

‘Wow …… that’s amazing Ryota. You looked so perfect now …….

Alice marvels as her eyes widen.

‘Shall we try again?This time it’s just one or the other, either a honk or a pull. It might be hard to tell with all the bonbons around.

Yeah.

We’ll take our time and adjust next time.

Yeah!

Alice and I started walking further.

We walked and stopped, buying time for our fellow monsters to return to their original form.

I glanced at Alice.

This ability is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.

I didn’t encounter them when I was cattlewalking, the encounter was exactly one of them.

Alice, who knows what’s going on in the dungeon, doesn’t see me when she doesn’t want to see me, and when she does, she only meets one of them to make it easier to do so.

I think that ability is the most amazing thing.

‘Hey Alice, can you go into a dungeon, go to the bottom floor and not meet any monsters at all until you come back?

I can do that, but not if they’re blocking the path downstairs.

That’s true.

She can go on and on in the dungeon if she wants to, but she can also choose not to encounter them at all.

On the other hand, she can also head straight for the monsters.

Yes, it’s a tremendously powerful ability.

But I’m having a bit of a problem with this bonbon, because if it blows itself up, it won’t be able to fight for a while.

‘The firepower is perfect, but if you think about going around the dungeons, you’re going to do it, do a break, and then take a break. It’s definitely not efficient.

Yeah. Oh, don’t feel bad, Bonbon. Bonbons aren’t so bad.

Alice comforted a sullen Bonbon. Hone Hone and Pru-Pru also encouraged Bonbon with their body language beside him.

It’s in a dungeon, but it’s a comforting sight to see.

While I was doing that, I encountered a monster.

The only opponent is one of the little demons that self-destructs.

She sent out only the Honehone, and that Honehone went to stop the enemy little demon.

Next, she sent out a bonbon as well.

‘So, you’ll take care of that then?’

The deformed little devil nodded his head.

As I was wondering what that (,) means, the bonebon went past the bonebones.

He goes to the opposite side of the room from us, across from the bonebons, and does his banzai there.

The magic circle spread out and hooked Honehone at the very edge of it.

And then – an explosion.

Three self-destructs, me and Alice keeping our distance ahead of time to escape the blast.

In the slightly stronger wind, I said to Alice, impressed.

‘Well, that makes it easier to see the explosion.

‘Yes!Now I know what they are. They were black and round like the ones in Bonehoney’s. It’s just like Ryota’s annihilation bullets.You’re not as powerful, though.

It’s definitely like an annihilation bullet. It’s just not as powerful.

‘Right!–Oh!Congratulations on your bonbon!

What’s going on?

Bonbon, I hear you’ve just raised the bar.

Oh, so the monsters level up too?

Yeah!

If you look closely, you’ll see the bonbon back to SD size, dancing even more.

He’s flapping his hands and jumping up and down, kind of cute.

‘What happens when you level up?’

I’m sorry.

Before Alice could answer, Bonbon stopped dancing and waved his hand down at me.

‘That gesture, could it be–?

‘Yes!He said he could pull the ball of light out.

It’s amazing.

The SD-sized bonbon, waved his hand, then put his hand on his waist and made a good face.

A monster that levels up, you will be able to use the techniques that you couldn’t use.

‘If I level up more, I’ll be able to hit black balls too.

‘We’ll see!Good luck with that bonbon!

Alice encourages the bonbon in the palm of her hand, and the bonbon clenches his fist and gives a small gut pose.

A black ball.

It reminds me of what it looked like when it was a complete enemy, the routine until it blew itself up, the arms swinging down twice.

The monsters on the second and third floors of the basement, looking almost identical, firing a series of bullets.

Maybe I’ll be able to do that, I thought.

‘If I can do that, then I’ll be able to do both laps and fight strong enemies.

Yeah!

Along with her three companions, Alice had a big smile on her face.
