Nihonium Basement Level 4.
　Today I continued to hunt mammies in the morning.

　Killed the mammy in a stream of work and cleansed the remaining bandages with a recovery bullet.
　I used the seeds I dropped to increase my strength.
　I've gotten used to this dungeon, and after hunting steadily, my stats had risen from C to B before noon.

　Just when I thought I had to use the collection box to replenish my special ammunition...
　A chill instantly ran down my spine as a terrible chill hit me.

"This murderous atmosphere--a dungeon master!

　He quickly pulled out his gun that was about to be put away and pointed it toward the killing spree.

　...... There was a fierce beast there.
　It's a petite beast of prey, clad in a bunny suit and with its own petrel.
　She was standing right next to me before I knew it, chewing on my arm.

...... Um, what are you doing, Eve?
Carrot or Alive.
Disturbing as always.
Carrot or Alive.
Ugh.

　I'm starting to kill again with a gaggle of people.
　Food resentment is bad. I tried not to go against Eve.

　　　　　Stars.

　I gave Eve the carrots I had dropped in large quantities after defeating the sleeping slime on the second floor under Telluride Dungeon.
　I don't have a magic cart, so it's a rough estimate, but it's roughly 100,000 piro's worth of carrots.
　Eve was nibbling on such a mountain of carrots like a small rodent animal.

　She is beaming, as if to say, "Where is the murderous spirit we had just witnessed?

'Sorry, I've been away from Cyclo for a while.
Clint tells me.
'Clint ...... Oh, the dungeon chief's name. Yeah, I was there at his request. Sorry I couldn't produce carrots.
I don't care. It's just a carrot.

　Eve gnawed on a carrot.
　It was oddly adorable, and I couldn't help but watch her.

　She noticed me looking at her and hid the pile of carrots behind her back. There are so many that I haven't been able to hide them at all.

"I'm not giving you carrots.
I won't touch it.

　My tone and feelings have become somewhat gentle.
　As Eve began to bite into the carrot again, I remembered something.

I remembered that Eve has a friend. I've recently made a friend, and we formed the Ryota family.
We broke up with them.
Okay?　Why!
"A dungeoning mismatch.
You're a band!

　I plunged in as hard as I could, but Eve answered with a very straight face.

I'm sure you're not the only one who wants to be adventurous and stable. People who want to dive the same levels all the time, or they want to dive a lot. People who want to stay in the same city and visit different caves in different cities.
'Ah ...... I see. Given that, dungeon-ness discrepancies seem normal.
Yes, I have.
What kind of a disagreement was Eve's?
The new girl joined her, and all the men followed her.
That's more of a princess or circle-crusher kind of thing!

　I went into it again in a big way.
　I don't want to hear the details, I don't want to hear this one because I can imagine it's too graphic without asking.

　In the meantime, Eve flattened a mountain of carrots.
　I've eaten all the carrots, which are obviously more than the volume of my body.

'You ate them all: ......
Did you think I was going to leave you with this?

　Eve put the last remaining part of the last carrot, even the stubby part, in her mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it down.

'Carrots are meant to be eaten clean,'
No, it's not about that, it's about quantity.
Thanks for the meal.
You're welcome.
...... low-level haters.

　I chopped it.

As I recall, it's still ...... and the chop is subtly gentler than before.
'Carrots and pieces don't give me strength.'
There's a lot of stuff in the mix. ...... Speaking of which, Eve often asks me for carrots, but doesn't she hunt them herself?

　Eve didn't answer, but manipulated the now board right beside her.

'It's plant drop D, so it doesn't taste good to hunt it yourself.'
'Why are you in Cyclo with that status before that?
Because that's where the carrots are.
It's a myth!

"This is why I got the nickname 'The Carnivorous Hare'
It's Animal A!

　Really, why are you in Cyclo?
　...... That's how much you love carrots.

　Gazing at the Nowboard, I noticed something.

'Eve, try this.

　He takes out a red potion and hands it to her.

'Carrot juice?'
'Get away from the carrot!　No, I don't have to leave.
Which way?
I'll know it when I see it.

　Eve stared at me and then took her pills.

"Huh?
Did you hear that?
What do you mean?
You should try operating the Nowboard again.

　Eve nodded with a surprised look on her face and manipulated the Nowboard.

A...... plant drop on A......
So...
"I can be a 'herbivorous rabbit,'
I'm a herbivore, for God's sake!　Or better yet, try to take down some slime.
Yes.

　Eve nodded and walked off in search of the slime.
　She immediately encountered a sleeping slime that dropped a carrot.

'Phew!'
So don't smash this monster to bits with your sword.

　I laugh bitterly, as usual, Eve's hand blade is outrageous.
　Meanwhile, a carrot was dropped from the defeated sleeping slime.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

''Delicious ...... this mellow but not insistent, with just the right amount of sweetness and a clean finish.
You're a gourmet!
It's a carrot!
No, it's a carrot.
'Drop D's carrots are not carrots.'

　Eve assured him.
　As I recall, the status of the drop makes a difference in quality as well as quantity.

　Eve shattered yet another sleeping slime with her hand sword and turned it into a carrot.
　She nibbled on it and looked blissful.

'Delicious ......'
That's good to hear.
Hunt it yourself and eat it yourself...... homegrown.
You can't say you're self-made!

　After flattening her carrots, Eve maneuvered the nearby Nowboard to bring up the drop status screen.
　＋I don't know why, but she and I took turns staring at it, which was +3 ranks and an A.
　Eventually, it dropped to its knees in a fluid motion.

"Let me join you.
No, enough to get down on your knees?
If it's not enough, I'll pay with my body.
You don't have to take it off!　Because it's too erotic to do a peron over a bunny suit.
Well, if it's not enough, I'll pay by ear.
'Why are you blushing there!　Something more embarrassing than taking off!

'Please, let me join you, and I'll do anything for you if you let me join you.

　Eve was pestering me with a tremendous amount of machine gun talk.
　It's clear that the purpose of the red potion - or rather the carrot - was to join the group, but it was even more refreshing to see it this far.

'Okay, join me--'
"I love low levels!

　Eve jumped up in a flash, hugged me and repeated, "I love, I love, I love.
　I giggled a little bit, feeling like I was literally feeding a rabbit rather than a mate.
