14 14.130 cm and hammer




 After pulling Emily up off the cliff, I asked in a hurry.

'Emily! I don't have any injuries--
I got it right.
I mean, what?
I was able to hit him properly after Mr. Yoda.
...... ah, the dungeon.

 I remember when I was a sleeping slime.
 I'd put it to sleep with a freezer bullet and Emily would smash it with a hammer.
 That's exactly what happened.

 I mean, it was the right thing to do.
 Emily looks at me.

 How did it go?
 Praise, praise, praise.

 I didn't say anything, but I felt like you said it that way.
 ...... Oh, yeah, right.

'That's great Emily, you almost crushed it in one blow.
'The monster didn't move, so I could hit it as hard as I could.
That's amazing. A huge block of ice with a single blow, shattering its contents.
Ehehe. ......

 Emily is embarrassed, and when I praised her, she grinned happily.
 I worry about her, but more than that, Emily did a great job, then I have to praise her.

'Oh.'
What's up, Emily?
I've raised the bar.
'Level up? Okay, so that means you just defeated a monster called Femini.
It's a big lift.
"Huh?

 I was curious to see how much it went up.

     ☆

 I returned to the city of Cyclo.
 I drove the two men to the hospital, sold the carrots I'd hunted for money, and then checked Emily's abilities.

 Unlike the dungeon, the city's now board costs money.
 In the dungeon it's free, in the city it costs the opposite.

 It's a bit of an interesting phenomenon, but considering that everything in this world is produced from dungeons, I think it's understandable that it would be so.

 I spent 100 piro on that Now board and checked Emily's ability.

--------- ...

The bar has been raised so high!
Yes, sir. It's going up a lot.
'All at once ...... up about 14 or 15?'

 I looked at Emily's status on the board.
 When I first met her, she was level 3.
 That had gone up to 20 all at once!

...... Feminis were strong monsters?
I don't know, sir.
'Come to think of it, I didn't know about feminis themselves. Well, it was transported from another city.

 Emily said that, but I was almost certain it was because of that.
 At that moment, all the items in the magic cart were haggled together - turned back into monsters.
 So I launched all the freezer bullets I could find and froze them all together.

 Emily crushed it with a single blow.
 Emily, who had a low level but a lot of power, took out the monsters that had completely stopped moving in one hit.

 That made the level go through the roof, a common sight in games.
 I can only speculate, but it's probably right.

 And it's more than just right, it's more than just right.
 The fact that Emily's level went up all at once and her abilities went up is more important.

 Emily's level has gone up all at once and her abilities have visibly increased.
 I noticed that Emily's eyes were sparkling like never before - excited.

     ☆

 Arsenic, one of the five cyclonic dungeons.
 Emily brought me here with her, and I was a bit surprised when I entered the dungeon.

You're a monster!

 There were more monsters than ever before, and the level was swarming.
 Rocks were lying around on the ground of the dungeon as if it had been dug out of the ground.
 The rocks vary in size, the big ones are big enough to sit on and the smaller ones are about the size of a baseball.
 They all have eyes and mouths.
 The rocks became faces, and they looked at me.

 There are more than a hundred of them here and there, not to mention counting, and the eyes that glow in the dungeon are a bit scary.

 I decided it was definitely a monster of sorts, pulled out my gun and growled.

 The bullets flicked off.
 Even with the eyes and mouth on it, it was just as rocky as it looked, and hard enough to repel bullets.

'It's tricky, isn't it ......?'

 I racked my brain for more shots or more ways to take them down, but I realized that the monsters weren't moving, and neither were the other monsters I had shot.
 They didn't move, as did all the other monsters, not even the one I'd shot - a rock monster big enough to actually scoot down.

 They just move their eyes and stare at me.

"What's this?

 I turned around and asked Emily.

'It's a monster called Dante Rock. All of Arsenic's dungeons are these immobile rock monsters.
All of them?
All of them, down to the bottom floor.
You can take it down as much as you want - or is it really that hard?

 I remembered the bullet that had just popped.

'Yes, sir. It's a monster, but it doesn't attack you, so you can defeat it just like breaking a rock. But it's very hard and only a few people can defeat it.
Haha ...... I see.

 I stared at the monster ...... called Dante Rock.

"You're not going to attack?
Yes, sir.

 Emily moved closer, and the rock head (?) stroked.
 Dantelok stared at Emily with an angry look on his face, but he did not attack her.
 On the contrary, it doesn't even run or move.
 It's just that it has eyes and a mouth and it moves, so it seems to be in zero danger.

'This is a challenge,'
'Challenge? Oh, because you got Power A.

 I remembered what happened earlier.
 Emily's level went up to 20 at once, and her power is now A.
 Originally her power was a C, the higher of Emily's, but with this level up, it went up to A at once and became the highest value.
 Okay, so that's why I'm here.

''I'll give it a try, right?''
Good luck!
Yes, sir!

 Emily is cheered and enthused.
 With a body of 130 centimeters, she swung a huge hammer - more than her height - and knocked it down.

 The rock monster shattered into pieces.

''I did it!''
That's great. Shattered in one blow.
I did my best to break it open.
Which drop is ...... and is this a dandelion?
Yes, sir.

 Emily picked up a dropped dandelion and said with a big smile.

'Arsenic is all dropping flowers,'
All flowers? I thought all the monsters were rock types.
Yes, sir.
Heh. ......

 You drop (produce) flowers by hitting rocks?

'By the way, are there dungeons that only have fruit?'
Yes, sir.
Okay.

 I'm starting to notice a trend in the dungeons.
 Tellurium tends to be slime, Nifonium tends to be undetectable, and here at Arsenic it's rocky.
 And what they drop probably has a tendency. Telluriums are vegetables, nihoniums are the seeds that give you that ability, and here it's flowers.

"Then we'll have to segregate the telluriums for the vegetables and the flowers here on Arsenic.
'Yes, sir! But there are exceptions.
Exception?
'The 17th floor of the tellurium is a watermelon drop. So it's all vegetables--
Oh, that's the one.

 I point out, with an awkward look on my face.

"Watermelon, it's a vegetable.
'Yeah!

 Emily was surprised to death.
 I feel bad about that.

 Watermelon is a vegetable.

     ★

 After that, I hung out with Emily for a while.
 She went around cracking every single one of the rolling rocks, Dante Rock.
 It's a monster, but it doesn't look like she's going to beat it because it doesn't move, it looks like she's going to crack it and go around.

 Cracking and cracking and cracking and not dropping dandelions and so on.
 The drop rate is low Emily, so it's not going to be a drop every time, but it's still quite a lot.

 The efficiency of splitting them is incredibly high.
 Another adventurer comes along the way and hits the rocks with a blunt instrument as well, though.
 Obviously, it's not as efficient as Emily's to crack.

 While the other adventurers are cracking one, Emily can crack five.

 As if she was digging through a mine, Emily cracked the rocks alive and got dandelions.
 On this day, she earned about 5,000 piro.
 Emily was to go here regularly, every day.
